(EP11)

Master.

Long time no see, young warrior.

Those who look alike are many.

Your Reverence got the wrong person.

Is that so?

But why does your face look more familiar to me with every passing second?

What's this about?

General Li Lin, this is between me and him.

Please stay out of it.

Why did I not know

my apprentice had run afoul with the Skyfall Palace?

This brat…

Whoever got hit by Skyfall Iciclestorm

will have a mark lingering in their body for some time,

even if they expel the chillness.

This man made an attempt at a secret skill of our sect,

got wounded by my master and fled.

I never thought he'd come here to delude you, General.

That's arrant nonsense!

Your ship was barging around on the river,

ignoring other people's safety.

I just intervened to rescue them,

but you tried to kill me to cover your asses!

And now you have the nerve to twist the facts?

Do you have any proof to back that up?

You're a coward who didn't even dare identify yourself.

Had my master not held back,

you would never have survived that Skyfall Iciclestorm move

or come here to make wild accusations.

Hey,

I heard Graybeard once fought a youngster to a draw.

Could it be this man?

Given his young age,

he's probably not even reached the Sub-lord level.

The Skyfall Palace's accusation might be true.

The truth has not been ascertained yet.

Your version of the story can't be deemed proof.

General Li Lin is an honorable man, one I greatly admire,

but this concerns a secret skill passed down in our sect from generation to generation.

On no account will we let this thief commit more evil.

Adoptive Father,

this armistice was reached only because Skyfall Palace and Mistcoil Ridge mediated.

As a representative of Breeze Kingdom, you must not make an enemy of Skyfall Palace.

Pah! That's because your master is just average

and unworthy of his reputation.

Even a third-rate martial skill is better than your so-called secret art,

which is why I'm still standing here after taking a palm strike from him.

Humph!

What did you just say?

I said you're just a bunch of wusses!

All you ever do is make wild accusations.

Bear witness, heroes!

Forget about one strike. I'll take three palm strikes from you.

If I withstand three palm strikes from you,

I want Skyfall Palace to apologize to me in public.

Do you dare to take up the gauntlet?

Are you sure you want to challenge him?

Worry not. I know what I'm doing.

I would rather suffer defeat

than let them

defame the Dugu family.

Besides, I might not necessarily lose.

Alright. Such being the case,

I'll bear witness for you two.

Reverend Graybeard, you're his senior.

Three palm strikes, and the fight ends.

Do not endanger his life.

Since you're expressing your death wish once again, I shall see it granted.

This is perfect.

The other day, you nearly took my life.

Today I'll get even with you for that as well.

Hey, wait.

What's in there?

Just some clothes for my husband.

Go.

Thank you.

Hey,

what are you doing here? Come with me.

Where to?

Next! Hurry!

To lay our bets.

In the general's residence, a guy named Dugu Baitian

is about to duel with Reverend Graybeard of Skyfall Palace.

Graybeard is at the Sub-lord level.

That Dugu Baitian guy is seeking death.

Let's go put a bet on Reverend Graybeard. We can't lose.

- Let's go then. - Come on.

Next.

The people of Skyfall Palace are well known to be vindictive.

By fighting Graybeard to a draw that day,

Baitian ruined his reputation completely.

This time, he'll definitely try to kill him.

Are you going or not?

Will you please hurry up a little?

Miss, your safe conduct.

Sorry, I got something to attend to.

If you kowtow and apologize to me right now, I'll consider sparing your life.

Humph. You people are not only bullshitters

but also delirious.

You're courting death!

That trick again?

I'll aid you.

Thank you, Sir, but there's no need for that.

I want to do this on my own.

Well then, give it your best shot.

Adoptive Father, this guy's received training from you.

Graybeard might not necessarily defeat him.

It's not Graybeard but the thing in Baitian's body that worries me more.

What does he have in his body?

Nothing. Maybe I'm overthinking.

This guy's skill becomes even odder than it was days ago.

The chillness I'm mobilizing actually can't lock him.

Today I'll have you supercilious brat know

how powerful the skill unique to Skyfall Palace is!

Lightlord Stillness! Turn!

Asunder!

He actually channeled the chillness underground with his technique.

Brilliant!

He does have a good command of his powers now.

But Graybeard is much more powerful than him.

If he keeps mobilizing most of his inner strength to deaden the chillness in him,

the thing in his body might break free.

Adoptive Father, why are you talking in riddles today?

Here comes my second strike.

How dare you, an ant, challenge an elephant?

Geezer! Behold Tidestorm!

A matchless move!

Now you're at the end of your rope.

There's no way you can survive my third strike.

Here comes my third strike! Skyfall Palace!

This strike is way too powerful for you to withstand.

Kiddo, the darkness in you might backfire on you if you deplete your energy.

I got this.

Like I said, I'm going to prove myself fair and square!

Good. You're worthy of your family name.

Impressive. What a smart move.

An all-out strike against Graybeard's hasty one.

Now Graybeard really has to admit defeat.

Baitian…

A fourth move? I thought the agreed number was three.

How dare you?

Adoptive Father!

Baitian!

Baitian!

Baitian nearly got killed

in his first fight with Graybeard.

Though he'd received training from General Li Lin,

he still had to spare some of his powers

to subdue the darkness in him.

If he demonizes in front of a crowd,

he'll be a goner.

Baitian, why do you keep staring at this black stone?

It isn't just any stone.

If I unravel the secrets in it,

I'll become the strongest fighter in the world.

Considering how clever you are,

I'm sure you'll become the greatest fighter soon enough.

What are you going to do after that?

Live a life of errantry.

I'll have everybody remember my name

as they do Martial Saint Zhantian's.

You are Baitian.

I'm sure you can do that.

I'll strive to keep pace with you

and stay by your side forevermore.

Let's pinky swear.

You'll be world number one, and I'll be world number two.

Mingyue.

Baitian, clear your mind and focus.

You mustn't demonize here.

Are you sure you want to work against Skyfall Palace for a goner, Miss?

What if I am?

If so, you shall die with him!

Mingyue!

Mingyue!

Baitian,

if you demonize in public, the whole martial world will deem you an enemy. You'll be doomed!

How dare you hurt her?

What's going on? I can't see anything!

Alas. He still failed to hold it in check.

Do not let them see your eyes.

Master!

Reverend Graybeard, do you submit?

Why should I submit to a creature like you?

Kill me if you think you're hard enough!

If you don't, I'll tell everybody, and they'll slay you in my stead.

Very well. I'll waste you and every underling of yours right here.

What the heck was that?

Mercy, valiant sir! Mercy!

That day, we did act like bullies and hurt innocent people!

And we tried to kill you too!

So that boy was telling the truth.

I did all that at my master's behest!

Traitor!

Humph. A petty trick.

What happened exactly? Did you see anything?

No.

But I did hear clearly the despicable things Graybeard and his apprentice had done.

That boy has such formidable skills.

You filthy, shameless rat!

They're an utter disgrace to Skyfall Palace!

You scum!

Baitian!

Baitian!

General, is your apprentice okay?

What happened in the black fog just now? Did you see it?

The strange power at the end of the fight… Was it a secret skill unique to you?

Graybeard was utterly powerless against it.

Everybody,

thank you for your concern.

My apprentice just used a military smoke generator

to protect himself,

and I, in an impulsive attempt to rescue my apprentice, wounded His Reverence.

Now, please make way

so I can take my apprentice inside for some rest.

Oh, right. Please, General.

Please pardon us for our impudence.

Hold on.

Don't you think you owe us an explanation, General Li Lin?

What happened to your apprentice just now…

I believe he demonized.

A demon… He's indeed a demon…

- A demon? - He's really a demon?
