ZHU XIAN Immortal Executioner

Episode 9

Once the engravings are complete,

the array will be activated at full power

and destroy the entire Snake Valley.

There's little time left.

I must finish it quickly.

Deputy Leader!

Be careful.

The mist is toxic.

The poisoned can't channel their spiritual energy.

This mist seems suspicious.

Stay focused.

Help the other disciples.

Remember.

Use spiritual energy to block the mist.

Yes.

This demon king was severely injured before.

This is

spiritual energy corrupted by the mist?

I see now.

It's draining the energy from the poisoned to heal.

And all spiritual energy goes to that eye.

The eye's cracks remain unhealed.

I can exploit this weakness to break it!

Move aside!

Deputy Leader!

Form the array!

Almost there.

Is it the Heavenly Book's true power?

Even a demon king can't withstand it.

- Deputy Leader! - Deputy Leader!

The Flame Disk activated spontaneously

and helped me defeat the demon king with its supreme yang energy.

Could there be a connection between them?

The demonic beasts gather

in that valley.

What exactly do you want?

No more delays.

Those who want to live,

stand up now.

Deputy Leader.

Heaven and Earth are merciless,

treating all beings as straw dogs.

Who cares about the fate of pawns?

Disciples of Ghost King Sect, heed my command!

Waiting here means death.

We'll fight our way through!

Follow me

and break through together.

Charge out of Snake Valley!

- Attack! - Attack!

Another...

Another demon king?

Its roar shakes heaven and earth,

and its strength crushes mountains.

It's

Zhu Yan

T/N: The Zhuyan is primarily described in the Shanhaijing (山海经), or "Classic of Mountains and Seas," one of the most important ancient Chinese texts detailing mythical creatures, geography, and folklore. It is typically depicted as a creature resembling a gibbon or a monkey, but with red feet (朱 means vermilion/red).

Zhu Yan?

I'll hold it off.

Go now!

We go together!

Don't risk your life!

Deputy Leader, we can't abandon you!

Exactly!

Right!

Let's attack!

There is no time.

Leave the valley!

Yes.

Let's go.

This is...

Oh, no.

It survived.

Its demonic power has grown stronger.

Deputy Leader!

I can't move.

Look out.

Deputy Leader,

you

leave here.

Hold on.

I'll get you out.

Just leave me.

I told you

I'd bring you all back alive.

How can I...

It's the blood.

It devours spiritual energy from living blood.

In that case,

I will use Soul Devourer to sever your blood source.

I can only restrain it briefly.

Everyone, leave the valley!

Deputy Leader,

what about you?

We can't abandon you.

Go!

Well...

Let's go.

The array!

Zhang Xiaofan.

Wandu Sect,

Hehuan Sect,

and Ghost King Sect.

All three factions of the cult are here.

Did he...

No.

It can't be.

How could you die here?

How dare you die here!

Come with me.

Zhang Xiaofan!

Anywhere.

To the ends of the earth.

Senior Lu!

Zhang Xiaofan.

Several Days Later

Xueqi,

you're awake.

Senior.

Master and everyone are worried about you.

Slaying demonic beasts

should be within your limits.

He's

dead.

Senior,

he's

truly dead.

What?

The cult forces were annihilated.

Most prominent figures

died there.

The valley is filled with human

and beast remains.

We found this.

Perhaps

it's Xiaofan's.

Xiaofan,

do you have anything to say to me?

I'm unfilial.

I beg for punishment.

You've got backbone.

I've taken in a good disciple.

Master.

I haven't betrayed you.

The waning moon hangs in the long night, clouds veiling the stars

Empty mountains, withered grass all gone

The western wind brushes sorrow across a thousand miles

Bamboo shadows ripple on emerald peaks

Pour a drifting cup, asking heaven and earth

How can one escape fate?

Even with temples grayed by hardship, I never let go

Smoke rises from the hearth of the bamboo dwelling

Where can I seek and find it?

Half a life adrift, always a traveler against the tide

All in vain

Love and hate, sorrow and joy—all are fated

Dreams return to the past

The scene remains, the people have changed—silent, I stroll the old woods

Though the tribulations have passed

The wound in the heart still will not heal

When will I return home?
