[Ever Night]

[Episode 60]

When General Lin's household was killed,

I was here.

I saw your Little Junior Bro.

I saw his desperate struggle.

I saw him awaken, saw him fleeing.

I saw him carry a little girl on his back, and open Big Black Umbrella.

I saw him kill bandits at Blue Lake.

I saw him come to the capital and enter Rear Mountain.

I felt I was looking back in time at your Junior Uncle.

Fu Zi, how are Little Bro and Junior Uncle like each other?

They share an intense aspiration to be free.

What actually is freedom?

So called freedom is courage to choose.

Choose to live, choose to die.

Maybe choose not to choose.

If Little Bro is really defeated by Xia Hou,

what do I do?

So even you, his Big Bro,

believe Ning Que has no chance to defeat Xia Hou.

Regarding Little Bro's life or death, please instruct me.

Since he made his choice,

we can only create a fair evironment.

Fair environment...

Heaven Pillar's Qi Nian and Abbey's Ye Qing made a move.

They're both Wayfarers.

I understand.

Please rest assured, Fu Zi. I take my leave.

Zhi Shou Abbey Wayfarer, Ye Qing, is here.

What do you want?

I want Xiling's officer to retire in peace.

I fear you regard Xia Hou too highly.

I just want the chance of a fair duel with him.

I won't allow it. In my opinion, you're guiltier than him.

Brother.

I support him.

Ye Hongyu, you disappoint me.

You think you can stop me?

Mister Ye.

Tomorrow at Wild Goose Cry Hill, there's a good lookout for the duel.

You can go with me.

Little Bro, you'll be tired tomorrow. Go and rest now.

Back off!

On His Majesty's orders,

no idle onlookers can approach .

Disobey and die!

Go! Go!

Mister One was enlightened at 13,

in Doubtless at 30, then directly to See-through and Knowing Destiny.

I heard in those 17 years,

you climbed the mountain without obstacles.

The first time you climbed Rear Mountain,

you saw five words on Firewood Gate.

"A gentleman delights in water."

So, in your life, you enjoy being by clear streams.

That is indeed true.

I always wanted to challenge the Academy's Mister One.

Mister Ye, you're the Abbot's personal disciple

and Abbot's successor.

Be proud.

No. Since I met you in Tianqi Year-1,

I was freed of pride, even solitary.

I hope my wish is granted today.

Whether life or death, just win or lose.

What a powerful Dao Sword.

It's rare in the world.

What miraculous Dao arts, at Knowing Destiny peak.

You're a thin line away from God-Breath Realm.

Didn't expect, using my most powerful Sword,

I couldn't overcome you.

I lost.

Apologies. I'm not good at sparring.

Victory! Victory!

A lot of snow has fallen.

The lake has iced over.

Men's sins are numerous.

The price must be paid.

Xia Hou, I'm coming.

Mister Two, you're here to see the duel?

This is Little Bro's duel with Xia Hou.

You think we'd interfere?

I just feel, after defeating Xia Hou, Little Bro will be exhausted.

So I hope no-one will use any excuse to make trouble for him.

Though your mind is set on Ning Que winning,

Xia Hou is at Wu Dao peak.

Thinking of winning with such disparity is an idiot's dream.

My Little Bro isn't an idiot.

He just dreams big.

Ning Que, today you'll die here.

Who knows who'll die.

You should know many want to take your life.

In order to kill you...

I prepared for many years.

This is Yuan-13 Arrows you're so proud of?

I tell you. You can't pierce my Bright Armour.

Bright Armour, so what?

(Half Divine Talisman)

Yuan-13 Arrows and Xia Hou's Bright Armour

were made by Rear Mountain Mister 4 and Mister 6.

Isn't this contradictory.

Contradictory...is right to fight.

Ning Que actually drew a Talisman with Arrows.

This is his best ever Dao Talisman.

Our Little Bro isn't ordinary.

You want to trap me in The Well?

What's the need? You're inside. I'm outside.

The Talisman was well drawn.

That's your last Arrow, isn't it?

Did Ning Que lay an Array here?

Of course.

You forgot what our 7th-Senior Sister does best?

Xia Hou sure is at Wu Dao apex.

Someone told you I fear water, right?

So you bought this lake for today's duel. Right?

You drew Talismans and laid an Array

to kill me in one strike, right?

You took 15 years to find me for this day.

You want me to be buried here. Right?

I see through all you did.

Xia Hou.

Even if you're an unbreakable mountain,

and I'm only a valueless spoon,

if I keep chipping away, you'll collapse someday.

Fine. What other methods do you have?

Rear Mountain learning, Yan Se's teaching– you've used them all now.

Don't forget. I haven't made my move yet.

I still have one podao.

Ning Que has a dark sword.

Xia Hou has Open Spear.

Good spear, good sword.

Ning Que's sword is the Academy's sword.

But Open Spear was created with Abbot as Xia Hou's Life Item.

Ning Que is even demonic.

You aren't Ke Haoran. What can you do to me?

2nd-Senior Brother, do you want to interfere?

Little Bro won't give up easily.

But he has no tricks left.

He has.

For you.

That's not a knife.

Indeed it's not a knife.

This is Grand River Sword Force.

Your Majesty. Is this fair?

To those that died...

it will never be fair.

You sure gave me a nice surprise for once.

It's not a nice surprise. It's killing intent.

I...am called Xia Hou.

After today, my name Xia Hou will be known for generations.

Ning Que, you can never defeat me.

I will live forever.

Don't move.

Young Master!

You should die too.

I'll fight you to death!

Mom!

It's your turn.

Don't touch Sang Sang!

Why must you kill Sang Sang?

Why must you kill my family?

Why must you kill so many innocent people?

Ning Que!

Young Master!

Ning Que.

You use a sword and Talismans, and even Demonism.

But you don't have a Life Item. That makes you useless.

You don't even know what your Life Item is.

You're doomed.

You want to see my Life Item?

I have one blade to protect Sang Sang so she sleeps well.

Divine Luminance.

The outcome is decided. Let's go.

Sang Sang! Sang Sang.

Sang Sang. Sang Sang.

Sang Sang. Sang Sang.

Sang Sang.

Sang Sang. Sang Sang.

Hierarch, half your Divine Pill

let me attain Wu Dao apex.

But the Pill weakened me.

I think this isn't the real Divine Channeling Pill.

This truly isn't the real Divine Channeling Pill.

I modified the formula.

If you consume the other half,

I believe you will experience unbelievable results.

Young Master!

Die!

Young Master!

Turns out Xiling wants me dead too.

You all want me dead.

Could it be, after my death,

everything will be better?

Right and wrong.

In order to survive...

I did many things.

But I won't ever regret it.

You brat.

His Majesty thinks highly of you.

Fu Zi protects you.

I don't care if you're the Child of Hades.

But when Eternal Night comes,

only you can protect Tang Empire and also my pitiful sister.

Xiling wanted to use my hand to wipe us out together.

Remember, they're your greatest enemy.

Don't die too soon.

In this unfair world,

make your own path.

Don't be like me.

~there is no absolute light~

Live well and survive.

~wrapped in victory, rope-twisted~

~river-deep desires feed my soul~

Time to end things.

~I won and lost, why am I doing this?~

I confer you as North-Guarding Great General.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

~evil night flees; a broken man wanders the world~

~facing life and death, I didn't give up fighting~

~let me live this life with no regrets~

~let me live for myself~

~darkness be my witness~

~no matter who says I'm a human or a demon~

~in life's ups and downs, I only live to fight~

~let this fear become the devil inside~

~no-one's in my heart, I promise no-one~

~let me live or die in this place of danger~

Brother!

I went to Mount Tian Qi snowy cliffs to pick this for you.

I used my Qi to protect it. Even in hot weather, it can survive.

Princess.

Xia Hou has died.

Xia Hou is dead?

Ning Que defeated Xia Hou.

You may leave.

Xia Hou is dead.

Mother, did you hear that?

Our greatest foe, Xia Hou, is dead.

Hunyuan is a step closer to the throne.

I will make sure he ascends the throne.

Hunyuan, don't fail our mother's last wish.

Become a good ruler like Father.

Yes, Sister.

I should visit the Imperial Study more often.

Sister, what do you think?

I really like this grand chair.

Hunyuan, get up.

Let's go to my Residence.

From today, study hard.

Sang Sang.

Sang Sang.

Young Master.

Young Master, it's great.

Sang Sang!

~cold branches dew-heavy~

~fondness grew forever with one look~

~lake autumn breeze~

~your silhouette by the porch~

~insight borrows poems and songs with bright heartfelt wishes~

~times of frost, times of rain~

~the poem in blowing wind sings of mortal parting~

~how can I forget our mutual gaze~

~even if the world falls apart, I won't waver, waiting for you~

~time of wind, time of mud~

~rain pours from the sky and delays faraway return~

~I look at you across mountains and oceans~

~even in uncertain times, I won't waver waiting for you~

~I hope a wind delivers my words of love to you~

Sang Sang, you can't die!

Ning Que, I'm back.

[End of Season 1]

[Ever Night]

~Hey, I can only say sorry~

~You, who've forgotten time, look a bit lost~

~You seem faraway, in front of me~

~Time blinks by; take it easy~

~Life is still the same~

~Hey, let me change the ending~

~Yet I can cover it up only a short while~

~Don't obsess or say sorry~

~Loser just treats winner~

~Better not meet rather than cry on parting~

~Night is long and dark~

~Don't leave regrets~

~I've seen right, wrong, gratitude, grudges, words, acts~

~I risk danger, desperate for you~

~Umbrella in old Chang'an~

~Night nears; talismans burn~

~Fight till all is gone in chaos and darkness~

~See us blaze through darkness, changing Heaven and Earth~

~Spur the horses forward~

~Geese fly south before snow~

~Get drunk at a warm coast~

~Under slashes of the sword, we love each other still~

~Under slashes of the sword, we love each other still~
