[The Blood of Youth]

[Episode 2]

Interesting.

They

don't even know

what the Golden Coffin contains.

And they just have to meddle in this.

Yuzhai.

While it's chaotic down there...

-Hand it out. -Hand it out now.

I can't tell how strong

the white-haired man with the jade sword is.

-Hand it over now. -Quick.

So much noise.

Yuzhai.

Could you

even see when he unsheathed?

Only the first three slashes.

After that,

it was all a blur.

I thought I already filtered the weaklings.

To my surprise,

many more went unnoticed, it seems.

I'm afraid

Tang Lian and I

cannot defeat him at all.

In order to do that...

Although Three-Gaze City

saw a surge in visitors lately,

many people

went missing too.

To spare you the hassle,

I have eliminated

all the insignificant ones for you, Mr. Tang.

What a fancy pretext you have there.

You merely

wiped out my rivals.

And then, you want me to fight you.

Yes, that too.

So you're here

for the coffin, too.

That belongs to Xueyue City.

It seems like

you don't what it is.

It doesn't belong to Xueyue City.

You know what it is?

Of course.

Mister, there must be a mistake.

At the moment,

our priority

is our bet.

If you're not interested,

please move aside.

A bet?

A bet of life and death.

I am a swordsman.

Only my sword

decides my fate.

Not a few dice.

However, I'm in the mood

to play a little game tonight.

If you two win,

you'll have

one night to flee.

You sound confident.

We'll see

after the game.

Telekinesis.

I can't believe you're using

such a lousy trick.

What?

Come.

Do the people

from Xueyue City only know how to kill

and nothing else?

One round to decide the outcome.

If you win, I leave.

If I win,

leave the coffin here.

That sounds fair.

I once

gambled with someone for three days straight

in the Qianjin Gambling House of Tianqi City

and I won a city.

Do you believe me?

Only when I see it

with my eyes.

If you can win a city,

then...

Five, five, six.

Big.

People in the martial arts world

are boring.

A bet is only fun

when you have to gamble your luck.

If you already know

the outcome,

then the bet

is meaningless.

What do you want to wager on then?

I'll wager on

five, five, six.

Big.

You...

Okay.

It's been decided then.

Oh, no.

Shattering Touch.

(Its victim might look fine from the outside,)

(but his innards will be all)

(destroyed.)

(The die within the casing)

(must be...)

Of course, it looks grim.

It's a gamble.

It won't be easy.

Do you want to change your decision then?

Change my decision?

The sure-fire way to win a bet

is to believe that you're winning.

When you believe you're winning,

you will win.

Let's see.

Five, five, six.

Impressive, mister.

You flatter me.

It's just a sleight of hand.

I don't know any martial arts.

You don't?

The path you're walking is a dangerous one.

If you can't fight,

you should

stay out of it.

Are you breaking your promise now?

I said I wouldn't kill you.

But my friends

might beg to differ.

They

are more impatient than me.

We also have a friend.

He can be a bit goofy,

but he packs a mean punch.

So your friends

might not have the edge.

If you knew who I was,

you wouldn't have made that claim at all.

[Mo Qishi, Tianwaitian Sect] White-Haired Deity of Tianwaitian.

Tianwaitian?

Twelve years ago,

your name

would invoke fear.

Who are you?

Why do you know me?

Not many know you.

But some do.

I didn't expect

to run into someone

from Tianwaitian here.

Did you forget

your promise?

Lu Yuzhai from Wushuang City?

You're here too.

Tang Lian.

Regardless of our rivalry,

the Golden Coffin

cannot go to him.

The content of the coffin

belongs to my sect.

You wish to stop me?

There are nine stages for martial arts

and above them exist four phases.

They are the Sturdy Phase of Mortal,

the Carefree Phase of Earth,

the Insouciant Phase of Heaven,

and the Unbeatable Phase of Arcana

that only exists in legend.

White-Haired Deity here

is already in the Insouciant Phase of Heaven.

Tianwaitian.

As expected from them.

What is this Tianwaitian?

You might not

be familiar with this appellation.

But it

also goes by another name

that will surely jog your memory.

Demon Sect.

Demon Sect?

Can we win?

If he hadn't shown mercy just now,

that slash just now

would have...

You're the descendants of my old friends.

Out of respect for your masters,

I will not kill you.

But if you get in my way again,

I will not

be that amicable.

Cloud.

Frost.

Thread.

Jade.

The Wushuang Sword Box.

I heard no one has been able

[Wushuang, Wushuang City] to command it for a century.

Kiddo,

what is your name?

Wushuang, (*unparalleled)

from the Imperial Wushuang City.

After the emergence of Xueyue City,

Wushuang City lost

its imperial

title.

It will be re-added soon.

Interesting.

What do you want?

I don't want to miss the opportunity to fight a powerful foe.

Naturally, I'm here

to learn from you.

Arrogant, aren't you?

I don't have time for you.

Charge!

Stop there!

Wushuang, come back!

Give chase now.

White-Haired Deity

said his friends were here.

If I were you,

I would watch over the coffin now.

Do we continue to after them?

Yes.

That

is Lei Wujie's explosive.

I am Lei Wujie

of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect.

Any brave soul wants to be blasted?

Charge!

He's fast.

Fire Infusion of the Lei family.

No wonder.

Charge.

Tang Lian.

You survived

the brawl inside?

How are you feeling?

I just

picked up that technique,

so I haven't fully mastered it.

But I feel much better now.

I can fight around

ten of them.

Fire Infusion.

Where you convert your rage

into a short burst of strength and agility.

How long

will your dying ember last?

Enough to defeat

people who work in the dark

like you.

Such audacity.

What...

what is going on?

A phantasmagoria.

Phantasmagoria?

What phantasmagoria?

Look.

What?

Do you notice any discrepancies?

The moon is big.

But it looks like it is pasted in the sky.

Today is the 22nd.

It should be

a waning crescent.

Not a full moon.

Lian, you mean...

It's a Guxu Formation. (*loneliness and emptiness)

It is

a sinister array.

Once you're in it,

you'll enter a dream-like state.

Be careful now.

In this dream,

everything is an illusion,

but

everything

is also real.

Lian.

What are you talking about?

I don't get it.

Careful.

Lian...

You got him.

How did you do that?

This is a formation

filled with murderous traps.

What you see

might not be real.

Therefore,

you should close your eyes

and use your ears instead.

Close my eyes?

Locate by sound.

One of the compulsory lessons in Xueyue City.

Listen carefully.

Our world is vast

and wind current is everywhere.

The biggest weakness of this formation

is that it blocks

all external noises.

And when you hear

the sound

of a crack

in the air,

that's when

your enemy exposes himself.

Listen...

Here.

Bingo.

You're gifted.

I've learned martial arts since young.

And I

trained my hearing too.

Locate by sound and retaliate.

How naive of you

to assume you can get out of this formation

with that.

(I was right.)

(To meet with Fairy Rui,)

(Lian will pass by Belle's Manor.)

(It seems like)

(he was trapped)

(in some sort of formation.)

Is this

the Guxu Formation

that trapped Father when he fought

against the Demon Sect?

Lian.

There are a lot of them.

What should we do now?

Remain calm.

Stay composed.

They can't do anything to us.

(I just have to buy time)

(until Mr. Mo comes back.)

(There's nothing)

(you can do.)

(Father told me)

(that the Guxu Formation)

(relies on disruptive flute music.)

(Break the flute)

(and you break the formation.)

Lian, what was that?

A spear.

Qianluo is here.

Stop speaking.

I'll follow the sound.

The formation is broken.

Boss.

What do you think, Lian?

Isn't our teamwork

impeccable?

You must be Miss Sikong.

I'm Lei Wujie.

Don't let your guard down.

It's not over yet.

You...

I have

dispelled the phantasmagoria.

What else do you have?

Show me now.

Indeed.

You broke the formation.

So you followed us here.

Truth be told,

we do not want

to cross Xueyue City.

But it seems like

Wushuang City and Tianwaitian

are involved too.

If we don't intervene,

it'll be too late.

What's inside the coffin

is important to us

and we cannot give it up.

What

is inside?

For some,

it's a fortune.

For some,

it's a powerful technique.

For us,

it's an answer.

Answer?

Thirteen years ago...

Enough.

The Wangyi Parlor Murder 13 years ago.

Within a night, the entire parlor

was wiped out.

The eldest son of the owner, Xie Liuyi,

was knocked out,

but he survived.

After he regained consciousness,

he lost his memory

regarding that night.

He then studied under Sage Tianquan

and became an assassin.

He has a new name, Minghou.

You know a lot.

Unfortunately,

Wangyi Parlor Murder

will remain a mystery.

Even if there were clues to be had,

they would have disappeared

after 13 years.

Do you truly believe

the coffin

contains your answer?

I have to admit

that I'm getting

more and more interested in this coffin.

Stop!

This is getting interesting.

Living dead!

[Wuxin]

A monk?

A living monk?

No ordination scar.

He isn't a monk.

Bring him with us first.

Minghou.

I have met you.

I have talked to Abbot Wangyou,

but

he wouldn't help me.

Old Wangyou said

no matter what

the answer was,

it would haunt you.

I appreciate

Abbot Wangyou's kindness.

However,

knowing the answer will haunt me.

Not knowing it

will also haunt me.

Makes sense.

Minghou.

Are you all right?

What Old Wangyou wouldn't tell you,

I have told you.

This is your tribulation.

All the best.

To return the favor,

we can get you

out of here.

This is my tribulation.

Just leave.

Let's go.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

-Wushuang. -Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Wushuang.

Yuzhai.

-Wushuang. -Come here.

Wushuang.

Wushuang Sword Box.

What...

How can this be?

Is he...

Is he...

Yuzhai.

Yuzhai.

How can this be?

How can this happen?

How am I supposed to face the City Lord now?

It's all my fault.

Yuzhai.

I got ahead of myself

and that's why he's dead.

Oh, my little martial brother.

Wushuang...

Why are you here?

He was fast

and I got tired of chasing, so I fell asleep.

I'm going to hit you!

Yuzhai.

I'll hit you!

-Yuzhai. -Yuzhai.

Don't do this.

Let go of me.

Let go!

Calm down, Yuzhai.

Come here.

Calm down.

Come here now!

Stop.

Calm down.

Don't do anything reckless.

Yes.

Fine.

He is powerful.

He could have killed you easily.

I'm glad you're fine.

What should we do now then?

Even if we return to Belle's Manor now,

we won't get what we're after.

Let's retreat

and plan again.

Go.

Close your eyes.

Don't look at him.

Your liaison is here.

I'm Wuchan.

This is my younger martial brother.

[Wuchan, Jiulong Sect]

He is also a disciple

of Abbot Wangyou.

He's Wuxin.

This is not a great place for conversations.

Let's leave first.

Lian.

Isn't

osmanthus cake your favorite?

What is the matter?

Let me feed you.

They are watching.

Stop it.

Boring.

By the way,

why did you tag along?

I like that mister over there.

Is there a problem?

Oh, Tang Lian.

I received a missive

stating that per Jiulong Sect's request,

Xueyue City assigned you to escort Wuxin

and to meet with me.

It failed to mention your entourage here.

May I know...

She is the daughter

of the Spear Deity Sikong Changfeng,

Sikong Qianluo.

I

am Lei Wujie

of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Sect.

I'm just a no-name innkeeper.

The lad of the Lei Clan

and I

have a business to settle in Xueyue City.

She

is Fairy Rui from Belle's Manor.

They

are with me.

Why was

your martial brother

in the Golden Coffin?

It

is the treasure of Hanshui Temple,

capable of suppressing one's

inner force.

Suppress?

He studies the 32 Secret

Rakshasa Arts.

Master Dajue thinks

he is dangerous,

so he is to travel

within the Golden Coffin.

I heard once you master any one

of the secret arts,

you can obtain godlike power.

And your martial brother here

learned all of them?

Abbot Wangyou

was a revered monk.

Why would he allow Wuxin

to study those secret arts?

The story

began with Abbot Wangyou.

Abbot Wangyou had mastered the Six Wisdom of Buddhism.

Among which his Divine Eye was the most powerful.

(They say visitors)

(who go to Hanshui Temple)

(just have to look at Wangyou)

(and they will automatically)

repent for their sins.

Really?

They don't need to talk?

His mastery of Divine Eye was so proficient

(that he could read someone's mind)

(and change it.)

(That's how he enlightened people.)

However, several months ago,

Abbot Wangyou passed away suddenly.

Rumor has it

that after Abbot Wangyou passed away,

(his body turned to dust)

(and disappeared into thin air.)

The rumor is right.

Why did he die suddenly?

Another rumor says

that Abbot Wangyou

died from a heavy burden.

You know many things, mister.

Indeed.

Someone has been forcing Master

to surrender Wuxin

because he

once performed

my master's mind-reading trick too.

But his is called Abyssal Eye.

Abyssal Eye?

What is that?

I have never heard of it.

Divine Eye

sees your soul

and reads your mind.

But Abyssal Eye

doesn't see your soul.

It sees your inner demon.

If I'm not mistaken,

Wuxin here

cannot study Buddhism somehow,

so Abbot Wangyou let him

study the Rakshasa secret arts.

And now, he has

those 32 secret arts

and he is powerful.

No wonder

so many people want him.

Master Dajue planned to use the Purification Chants

to erase those secret arts from Wuxin.

But that will cripple him.

Yet after

Wuxin

learned that,

he suspended his breath

and lay in the coffin.

He did not fight back.

So the Demon Sect is interested in Wuxin

because

of those secret arts?

Demon Sect?

Enough.

Knowing too much about the Demon Sect

brings ill fortune.

He is right.

Who's there?

You again.

All right.

Hand him over to me now

and you will yet breathe.

In your dream.

Lian.

Let me help you.

Protect Wuxin.

Aren't you going to help?

I can't fight.

Protect Wuxin.

White-Haired Deity here

is in the Insouciant Phase of Heaven.

All of you can hardly

touch him.

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

I'm not up there yet.

It's futile.

He is a cut above.

A numerical advantage

will not change anything.

What should we do then?

Use this.

You know what that is?

Judging from its shape,

it must be the Lei Clan's

Qilin Fangs.

They say it's so strong

that it can scare a god away.

The recipe

for that has been lost.

We only have one left

and my clan leader is keeping it.

I can't possibly have it.

Wait.

My clan leader told me not to tell that to anyone.

Poor Lei Clan.

But you're right.

This is our only option.

I don't want

to fight youngsters like you.

As I said,

hand him over to me.

My patience

has a limit.

Move aside.

Watch me.

So it has come to this.

A sword?

The Lei Clan prohibits

its disciples from using a sword.

Is that the sword, Shabu? (*terrifying)

Shabu, the long sword.

You're a disciple of Lei Hong.

I see.

All of you truly think

I won't kill you.

What an imposing sword aura.

He is mad now.

Too much.

You look too much like him.

Crimson Leaves.

I didn't expect this move from you

despite your injury.

You must be within the top three

of the Tang Clan.

Have you heard of this saying?

What saying?

Three moves of the Tang

leave one dead.

It seems like

I underestimated you.

Who else

wants to try me?

Me!

If you don't want to live a handicapped life,

don't get up.

(Can you still stand up?)

(Stop gawking.)

(Only you can hear me.)

(If you)

(still have any strength left,)

(stand before me.)

(Stop looking around.)

(That white-haired man)

(will soon take me away.)

(Hurry up)

(and present yourself before me.)

Tang Lian.

I don't want to kill you.

So don't force me.

(How many hidden weapons do you have?)

(Bone Nail.)

(Iron Spike.)

(Dragon Needle.)

(You only have one chance.)

(Unleash all of them.)

(Use Fatal Blossom Shower.)

(Not everyone from the Tang Clan)

(can use it.)

(But you're Tang Lian.)

(You can do it.)

If you insist,

prepare for my attack.

(Now!)

(You didn't let me down.)

(But that)

(won't delay him for too long.)
