(The tassel crowns the knight. The sword is snow white.)

(In the silver saddle, he rides like a shooting star.)

(He kills a man within ten steps. Invincible he is all the way ahead.)

(He would leave once it's done. No trace of him is to be found.)

=Sword Snow Stride= (Season 1)

=Episode 6=

(Ruide Hall)

Why?

I came to bid farewell.

Farewell?

I can do martial arts,

but I used to keep it from you.

I was dishonest.

From this day on,

I no longer dare to stay around you.

Xu Xiao asked you to protect me?

I deceived you, Your Highness.

That's unforgivable.

How many people

has my father arranged for me secretly?

Four death guards.

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta.

I'm Charlie.

Who are the other three?

We work independently.

I don't know who they are.

I have to guess, then.

But His Lordship said

that Bravo and Delta...

had died for you.

Two have died for me,

but I don't even know their real names.

Alfa is still alive.

Can it be Hongshu?

I don't know.

I'm in a bad mood today.

This is a punishment for you.

You've got a lot of work to do.

Stop trying to leave.

Get back to your work.

Wait.

Remember.

From this day on,

you're no longer a death guard.

You're only my maid.

Got it?

It feels good.

Off you go.

His Highness is nice to you.

I thought he would expel you.

From this day on,

I'm no longer a death guard.

I'm the maid for His Highness,

Qingniao.

What about you?

Why did you come to His Highness?

What is

your real identity?

Guess.

Nothing.

I've got nothing to do,

so that I want to talk to someone.

Qingniao turns out

to be a death guard

whom my father arranged for me.

She told me

there were four death guards around me.

Two of them have died.

The last one

is still hiding around me.

Can you do martial arts?

Yes, I guess.

Then you're the last death guard

staying secretly around me.

I'm not.

Me?

You don't look like one.

You...

You can do martial arts?

A little.

How great are your martial arts?

This great.

But every time bandits ran after me,

you escaped faster than me!

I have great martial arts.

I can't...

I can't easily fight.

Or people will die.

Don't brag!

I shouldn't have guessed that you were a death guard.

No masters

would behave like you.

When you stole a chicken,

half of the villagers ran after you.

Old Huang.

Xu Xiao asked me to make a choice.

I should either kill Ning Emei

or

Send Huangman'er out of North Liang.

Young Master.

Someone in the army supports Huangman'er

in taking over North Liang.

That's basically what happened.

Even I don't know

where Xu Xiao will send Huangman'er.

I...

I guess I know

where His Lordship

will send Young Master Longxiang.

You do?

It doesn't matter where he will be sent.

The point is...

Young Master,

do you not want him to leave?

I don't, of course!

But my point doesn't help at all.

I didn't want it

when my sisters were sent away.

They were still sent away, at last.

I am

a young master unworthy of the name.

Young Master,

these days,

I've been thinking

about what we experienced in the past three years.

I'm...

I'm useless.

However,

I still want to help you.

I'm glad you think so.

You know Old Hunk under the Lake, don't you?

I certainly do.

When Mr. Lin assassinated me,

I begged Old Hunk for help.

Then have you thought

about releasing him?

I tried when I was little.

The chain on him

couldn't be cut off.

So, Young Master,

what you need

is a sharp blade.

What's up?

Where's Grandpa Wei?

He's asleep.

That's good.

Actually, I came to see you.

You once told me

that you had a very sharp blade.

This is it, right?

Chunlei, isn't it?

Just get to the point.

May I borrow it?

For a while.

I'll return it soon.

What do you need it for?

Under the lake,

an old hunk has been locked

for any years.

I want to borrow your blade

and release him.

Why do you want to release him?

If I save him,

maybe he'll help me, too.

Who told you that?

Old Huang!

Old Huang.

Tell her

about Old Hunk under the Lake.

The man under the Lake

is locked by four meteorite iron chains.

If someone can

cut off the chains

and help him leave,

he will

be conquered.

You believe that?

I'd like to have a try.

Don't you have enough helpers already?

In some cases,

my father's men may not help me.

How could you throw your blade

at someone who doesn't do martial arts?

What if you hurt me?

Do you think this blade will be helpful?

It looks shining.

It'll be helpful, I assume.

All blades are shining, except for wooden ones.

Give it back to me, then.

Fine. Fine.

I'm going down.

Will there be any problem if I release him?

Don't worry, Young Master.

I'm here.

Young Master.

Oh, my waist hurts.

Where's my blade?

Old Hunk is holding it.

He looked like

he wanted to unchain himself.

(Imposing and Magnificent)

Have I made it?

Sure.

(Tingchao Pavilion)

Get back!

(Tingchao Pavilion)

Amazing.

Old Huang.

Isn't he awesome?

Is Li Yishan still alive?

After being locked underwater for so many years,

you can still speak.

Don't fight him!

Go away.

Young man,

don't risk your neck.

I saved you.

That's why I keep you alive now.

I...

He'll be conquered?

I'm asking you one last time.

Where's Li Yishan?

(Imposing and Magnificent)

(Propitious Omens)

(Propitious Omens)

(Imposing and Magnificent)

(Imposing and Magnificent)

Li Yishan,

I'm glad you're still alive.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't know how to take revenge.

Li Yishan?

The Supreme Master?

Isn't he dead?

He's your master?

(Imposing and Magnificent)

(Propitious Omens)

Old Huang,

what a bad idea you had!

Didn't you say after I released him,

he would be conquered?

Let's fight him until he's conquered.

Go.

(Propitious Omens)

Seriously?

Jian Jiuhuang?

You're still alive, too.

Very well.

I'm going to defeat you

and take revenge for my failure last time.

The First Move,

Dragon and Snake.

The Second Move,

Twin Lotus.

Old Huang?

Wait a minute, Young Master.

This isn't over yet.

That year,

I knocked you into the lake.

Today,

you'll end up the same way.

The Third Move,

Three Catties.

(Propitious Omens)

I haven't had enough food.

I'll stop fighting.

Old Huang, you...

You...

Young Master.

(Propitious Omens)

He's conquered!

Old Huang,

you...

You have such great martial arts?

Young Master,

didn't I tell you?

I have great martial arts.

Like this great.

Deng Tai'e has only a peach blossom.

But Jian Jiuhuang's sword box

is full of famous swords.

I'm going to get changed.

I want some meat!

You're Jian Jiuhuang.

You know him?

In recent 50 years,

besides God of Sword Li Chungang,

there have been only two sword masters.

One is Deng Tai'e, New God of Sword of Peach Blossom.

The other one

is him.

Take it away. Take it away.

You've had fish for a dozen years.

No more fight?

I'm going to sleep, then.

Would you like to have some food?

I'm going to do some reading.

Tell me.

Why did you release me?

Young Master saved you.

Shouldn't you repay him?

Nonsense.

He released me.

At most, I'll show some mercy

and won't kill him.

Why must I repay him?

If you don't repay him,

I'll kick you

back to the bottom of the lake.

I'm not in a hurry.

Take your time.

After you're done eating,

give me your reply.

Young Master,

have the meat

when it's still hot.

It'll taste bad when it's cold.

Come on.

Have you made up your mind?

How do you want me to repay him?

Stay in the Mansion

and protect Young Master.

When you're around,

why does he still need me?

I'm leaving soon.

Before I come back,

protect Young Master for me.

You're leaving?

I'll tell you about it later, all right?

All right.

What do you say?

When will you come back?

Within two months.

All right.

In two months,

even if you're not back,

I'll be still leaving.

Deal.

(Wutong House)

Let me take off your shoes.

Make yourself comfortable in your own room.

I can take them off by myself.

Then what do you need us for?

Qingniao,

when I have Old Huang and Old Hunk under the Lake,

you don't need to be a death guard.

Just be my maid without concern.

You care so much for Qingniao, Your Highness.

I care for you, too.

In case of danger, stay far away.

No one in my house

should die before me.

What shall I ask him for?

Old Huang.

Here's the wine.

Master Huang.

Let me fill your cup.

Old Huang.

What you said this afternoon...

Young Master,

how many eggs did we take away when we stole the chicken?

Two or three?

Three.

I knew it.

Old Huang,

you said you would be leaving.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Mount Longhu.

The biggest sect in Liyang?

Why are you going there?

Some old friends of mine live there.

I'm going to visit them.

After that,

I have to

visit Wudi City.

East Sea Wudi City?

Why will you go there?

There's a fight

I stopped halfway.

I have to go and finish it.

Since I was old enough to remember things,

you've been living in my family.

When did you have the fight?

Nearly 30 years ago.

I wasn't even born at that time.

Would you like to listen to my story?

I'm all ears.

It's quite a simple story.

I used to be a swordsmith.

As I forged swords,

I suddenly began to understand swordsmanship.

Then I became a swordsman.

So easy?

I just had good luck.

Go on.

Then I traveled around the world

and collected famous swords

for my sword box.

This box?

Famous swords in it?

There are Top Ten Famous Swords.

In my sword box,

there were six of them.

Were?

When I visited East Sea Wudi City

and challenged Wang Xianzhi there,

I left Sword Huanglu

in the city wall.

(Wudi City)

I lost.

I lost.

It's no big deal.

Some battles you win, some battles you lose.

Halfway through the fight, I knew I would lose.

I was so scared.

Of death.

Of defeat.

Then I ran away.

In several years after I left Wudi City,

I had a nightmare every night

where I was defeated by Wang Xianzhi

and I died.

Young Master, do you know why I came to North Liang?

Because North Liang is far away from the East Sea!

I've been hiding like a rat.

I don't dare to confront Wudi City

or Wang Xianzhi.

I had thought

this would be my life.

I didn't get through this

until I traveled with you for three years.

How did our trip help?

Young Master,

you can't do martial arts.

But over the past three years,

you've never evaded,

shrunk back,

nor felt scared.

How shall I put it?

Suddenly, I'm no longer afraid of anything.

Defeat...

Death...

No big deal.

Eventually,

I can confront

Wudi City

that has haunted me for 30 years.

At last, I can confront Wang Xianzhi

who haunts in my heart.

I won't stop you

from challenging him.

But you must come back after it's over.

Others don't broil sweet potatoes

as well as you do.

I promise you, Young Master.

I'll come back immediately after I fight him.

The first thing I'm going to do is to broil sweet potatoes for you.

You're going to Wudi City,

aren't you?

Why are you going to Mount Longhu before that?

To do business.

With people on Mount Longhu?

An old man on Mount Longhu

always wants to know how strong Wang Xianzhi can be.

But he doesn't dare to challenge Wang Xianzhi at all.

When he knows I'm going to challenge Wang Xianzhi,

he'll watch it happily.

It's a chance for business, isn't it?

You'll challenge Wang Xianzhi, anyway.

You can take the chance

to ask that man for something.

Of course.

I won't waste the chance.

What do you want to ask for?

It's a secret.

You'll know it later.

You old rascal.

When are you leaving?

Early tomorrow morning.

In such a hurry?

The fight has been delayed for 30 years.

The earlier it's over,

the earlier I'll take the load off my mind.

Old Huang.

Old Huang,

it turns out to be a song

about your own story.

Yes, isn't it?

I'm known

as Jian Jiuhuang.

Actually, I haven't figured out the ninth move yet.

When I traveled with you for three years,

I brought together our experiences.

Then,

I figured out the ninth move.

That's good, isn't it?

Young Master,

how about

naming the ninth move?

In the past three years,

how far have we traveled?

Six thousand li in total, I'm afraid. [♪li: a unit of length, equals to 500 meters]

Call it Six Thousand Li, then.

Change it later if you don't like it.

Let's take this name.

The Ninth Move,

Six Thousand Li!

(Mansion of Lord of North Liang)

Young Master, learning martial arts doesn't hurt anything.

You won't be fooled, either.

- How many times have I told you? - You just take it...

I won't.

I just won't learn martial arts.

Are you sure?

If you get in trouble,

I have two sentences for you

which will help a lot.

- I know that, too. - Something...

Something's wrong.

Leave immediately.

- I have something for you. - I have something for you.

It's tasty salt.

What do you want to tell Young Master?

Just say it.

It said,

"Young Master,

don't bother to see me out."

Go.

I'll walk you out of the town.

Young Master,

this is where you stop.

Is Wang Xianzhi very strong?

He's the Second Best.

Who's the best, then?

When he calls himself the Second Best,

no one else dares to be the best.

Can you defeat him?

I don't care!

I don't care whether I'll win or lose.

The fight has been delayed for 30 years.

I have to finish it.

Come back quickly after it's over.

Young Master, wait for me.

I'll bring back the wine from the East Sea

and let's enjoy it together.
