EPISODE 32

You don't want me to go down?

I'm disabled and poisoned, but I don't want to die.

I have to get revenge; you want me to suicide?

Something's at the bottom?

I only have one arm.

Want me to climb down? You expect too much.

Brother Eagle, I am a man.

I can't let you scorn me.

I'll do my best. Don't hit me.

Brother Eagle.

I wouldn't have come without you.

Sword Grave?

'Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai invincible under heaven'

'buried his swords here'

'unchallenged, my sword is useless; the agony'

This confident Senior was a loner, with a temperament like mine.

I can't compare. Surviving with one arm,

my chances of being more than an ordinary pugilist are slim.

I don't care if this old guy was a hero.

One look at his Sword Grave shows his ambitions and high skills.

but I was born to late to meet him.

It's really a pity.

I don't know animal language,

otherwise I'd listen to Brother Eagle tell this Elder's story.

That's right.

Senior Dugu had superior kungfu. Did he leave a Sword Manual?

Is this the Sword Tomb? Are there treasures beneath?

'Fierce, aggressive, very sharp'

'bested heroes in teen years'

Good sword!

No wonder it subdued heroes.

'Myrtle Soft Sword, to age 30'

'Wrongly wounded a righteous man; abandoned in a valley'

So this sword is missing.

'Heavy Sword, blunt edges'

'heavier than a halberd'!

It's that heavy?

How did Senior control this?

Brother Eagle, this is 45kg.

And its blade is blunt. How can this kill?

Jianghu sword skills emphasise flexibility and speed.

With this sword, I'd be disadvantaged in a fight.

This is a wooden sword.

'After 40, I used branches, bamboo sticks, rocks'

'I advanced, overcoming sword with no sword'.

How can Senior's brilliant skills be matched by a guy like me?

It's really heavy!

Brother Eagle, you want me to use this Heavy Sword?

Brother Eagle.

So it's snake gallbladder?

Since we're good friends now,

how can I reject your kind gesture?

That was a magical cure.

My inner energy flow is smooth.

My poisoning is less potent.

You saved me. How do I repay you.

You helped me lose my fears and believe in myself.

I don't have many friends.

I made a friend before dying.

The gods weren't heartless.

Brother, you want to duel?

I'm ordinary; I'm not your match.

In that case, I'll take you on.

This sword is too heavy.

Quanzhen and Jade Maiden Swords can't compare.

Brother, you're so powerful.

Don't think I'm Master Dugu.

Yang Guo, you're useless.

Brother Eagle was Senior Dugu's long time companion.

Maybe Senior Dugu got bored living alone in a remote valley.

He might've treated Eagle as his sparring partner.

Maybe Senior Dugu's skills passed to Eagle

so Eagle is a Wulin master.

Eagle has Dugu's style essence.

Can I find its traces?

Brother, let's practise.

Brother Eagle, we practised for days.

I'm getting used to this Heavy Sword.

Dugu wrote on the cliff:

"Heavy sword, dull edge; simplicity brings superiority"

The more ordinary the strike,

the harder it is to counter.

Yes, a direct strike beats Jade Maiden Sword

now I'm stronger.

Eagle has no true kungfu.

He can't give advice.

I only advanced because of my skills from GuGu.

But, GuGu, where are you?

GuGu!

GuGu, you're here.

GuGu!

Don't come near.

What's wrong?

You didn't look for me.

I'm not in your heart. I won't see you.

You're wrong. I want you, I miss you.

So why are you still here?

I...

Don't say anymore; I'm disappointed in you.

GuGu!

GuGu, don't go.

No, it's too late.

I won't let you. I won't let you leave me!

Can you stop me?

GuGu!

GuGu, where'd you go?

She must be lost.

I must look for her.

Brother, my precious GuGu is missing.

When I find her, I'll come back to learn with you. Okay?

Brother Eagle. I'm letting you down.

If I can't find my GuGu, I can't focus on training.

What do you want?

You want me to follow you.

This place is very pretty.

Rose Myrtle flowers? I never expected them here.

What are you doing, Brother?

What?

'I never lost to anyone except love; loneliness is my fate'

Who's this loner?

Is this Dugu's testament?

I was proud I never lost; I renamed myself "Qiubai" (Seeks-A-Loss).

In over 30 years, I never had a loss.

Now I'm old and recall my youth, it's amusing.

Who has never lost, even to time or themselves?

Honestly, that's not so.

I once lost fully to one person.

She has never left my mind.

Her name is He Xiang.

Help! Help!

Hero, save me.

Who are you?

You're Dugu Qiubai.

You want revenge or a duel?

- I beg you to save my life. - Save you?

Foes killed my father; they want to kill me.

I can't survive.

Your kungfu is superior.

I beg you, please protect me.

I don't act as a bodyguard.

What if I'll pay anything?

If you help me, I'll do anything.

Release your arms. Let go!

Put on your clothes.

Dress quickly and leave here.

I only want to live. Can't I?

The woman's there! Get her!

Kill her!

The killers are after me. You really won't help?

You're not a man!

Those villains are no threat.

- Thanks for saving me. - Hurry and go.

But I haven't repaid you.

Women are so difficult. Hurry and go.

You've been following for a while. What do you want?

Have a pear.

You don't want me to follow you.

I want to repay my saviour.

Eat one.

Here.

Take it.

Take it back.

Miss, drink with me.

Miss, don't go!

Miss!

Miss!

Who are you? Why are you blocking me?

Why'd you bring this upon yourself?

Why'd you do this? For money?

I...

I thought you were a good woman,

not this shameless.

Miss! Miss!

Miss! Your wine!

Miss! Here's the wine you wanted!

Miss!

Why do you have this wine gourd?

That lady wanted wine

but had no money; so a passer-by paid for a song.

That pitiful lady sang.

This is important to the girl.

You don't want to see me

but I'll say three things.

One: I want to repay you.

Two: don't lose appetite and sleep.

What's 'three'?

Believe it or not, I'm not a shameless woman.

You're the best woman.

But I can't give you happiness.

I don't want happiness.

I just want to be with you.

What are you doing?

See. Isn't it like you?

You drew me.

My dad taught me drawing but I've neglected it.

Scenery is uninspiring

so I draw what I like.

It's sketchy.

Your sword was so fast, how'd I see it clearly?

Here, hold it.

I'll demonstrate slowly.

We meet again.

Back for more?

Within three hours, we'll beat you.

Three hours.

Three years won't be enough.

Chase him!

Why were they able to counter my sword skills?

He's here!

Today you die!

Think you can kill me? What a joke.

Expertise isn't style, but speed.

I'm unsure how you know my technique

but I'll use it to kill you.

No time to regret; learn it in hell!

Dugu!

If you move, I'll kill her.

Put down the sword! Put it down!

I didn't think a Wulin expert

would surrender so easily.

It was you, right?

You're right; I'm no good.

Why'd you do this to me?

They couldn't beat you so they wanted your skills.

I'll kill you!

God let me live.

I trained for revenge, until I could kill my betrayers.

Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang, drink with me.

Dugu Qiubai?

Men! Quickly!

Dugu Qiubai.

So you're not dead. Kill him!

You didn't need to do this.

This is my last choice.

Can I ask a favour?

Ask.

Don't watch me die.

Allow me some pride.

Okay.

His story is told.

Why don't you sum up?

Brother, you want to say women can't be trusted, right?

GuGu isn't like other women.

She's the best woman on earth, the best.

I'll find GuGu and introduce you.

Then you'll know.

Brother, I told you,

GuGu and I aren't like them.

It's different!

Wanna be unreasonable, me too.

I reckon I can leave.

Stop fighting. I lost, okay? I'm not leaving.

Sorry, GuGu.

I can't come now.

But once I finish training, I'll find you.

Brother Eagle, don't be angry. I was only playing.

Let's practise.

Brother Eagle.

Snake bile? You bring it every day.

Won't you have one?

Okay, I won't be shy.

'pu-si-qu' snakes - rare, swift as wind

Brother Eagle must've ripped out their gall bladders.

This snake bile is special.

Brother Eagle, you eat this special snake bile

to make yourself powerful.

Seems I should eat more too.

This way, I'll be worthy of this sword.

Brother Eagle.

Want me to train in this heavy rain?

Did something odd happen?

Hey, Brother. You brought me here to...

You want me to train here?

Every time it rained heavily, Dugu trained in the torrent.

Okay!

~ For this suffering to end, I need you to appear ~

~ Still I bear this heartache alone ~

~ Missing you so much, I long to see you again ~

~ So much sorrow, don't tell me it's a test ~

Training a half-day in a waterfall advanced my skills.

Snake bile aids muscle and bone; and lets inner energy

gain power in critical moments.

Brother, you're a worthy friend.

You made me train properly.

In the water, I learned Piercing, Blocking, Side Slash, Back Chop.

Nothing is strong enough to withstand its force

so Heavy Sword doesn't need a sharp blade.

But without this unique sword,

it wouldn't be effective.

If this force was used with an ordinary blade,

the sword would break.

Brother Eagle, in future, I'll outmatch you.

I can wield lighter swords the same way.

This is as far as Heavy Sword art can go.

I was really just advancing my own abilities.

If not for Dugu's Heavy Sword

and Brother Eagle guiding me,

giving me snake bile for inner energy,

this sword art would be lost.

Dugu Qiubai had no help, yet achieved this pinnacle by himself.

If GuGu sees my new skills, she'd be happy for me.

How is she?

Is she gazing at the moon, thinking of me?

That little witch is following.

What tactics is she using?

Nonsense!

Miss Long isn't like that.

Bastard, what time is it?

You still defend her?

You've known her for years, and been intimate with her.

Okay, begging her won't work.

- I know what it is. - What?

She's going to Chongyang Palace

to apprehend you and expose your dirty deed to Leader

and dishonour Quanzhen. What an evil plan!

It's your fault.

I'll atone; I won't dishonour my sect.

How can you avoid it?

Go back to Mount Zhongnan.

Miss Long wants to kill me.
