Original subtitles

Adapted from the manhua of the same name, The Ravages of Time

The spear, who has it not harmed in the numerous battles

The halberd, its rise and fall is impermanent

The blade, incomparable in this garish world

The long lance, the man from Yan rages in these dark times

The imperial army kills people like grass mown

The warrior defeated is like a mountain toppled

Only when the arrow is used do you regret not having enough of it

The phoenix lost its nest, the azure dragon's horn is severed

Gazing at the Divine Land, nothing remains when you look back after a thousand years of rises and falls

While steering a small boat, create poems over wine describing heroes

Eternal worries blind one to the beauty locked deep in the palace

In every possible strategy, things constantly change and fade away

Past and present matters become topics for idle chatter and enter my dreams

Human life is but a fleeting moment as the times fly past

Translator's Note: the last line of the opening poem of Romance of the Three Kingdoms It is better to keep an open mind with respect to right and wrong or success and failure when evaluating historical developments

A ghost!

Huang Gai

You can't kill this boy

Lord Yuan Shao

This boy is a colonel of the Xiliang Army

It's still not certain who will kill whom

Isn't he...

Isn't he already...

Everyone

Show me some consideration

and do not fight for now

My Lord, do you know he…

I only know that he saved everyone here

You all are so annoying

If you want to kill me, come then

You asked for this

You asked for this - I...

Don't!

Young Lady

Come then

What a persistent guy

Episode 16 The Fire Phoenix Sets the Plains on Fire

Your calmness gained my trust

and fooled me

What's happening at the back?

The enemy has caught up to us, hurry up!

You are the real culprit who killed Xu Lin!

You can only blame yourself for being too stupid

That's right, I was really too stupid

The pain of losing my friend made me lose my composure,

the most important aspect of being a general

Thus I was repeatedly

fooled by you

Lu Bu, you were just one step away

Right, I owe you this last halberd strike!

Don't forget that I'm still here

Attack now

The Handicapped Warriors

Huo

We'll leave the final task to you

Get lost

Escort First Young Master away now

As before, don't turn back without my orders

Especially Xiao Meng

Understood

As before, no matter how strong the opponent is

the final task is always left to me

I see that look in his eyes again

That day, the look in his eyes that

made me feel fear for the first time in my life

has appeared again

But

there's nothing to fear now

Lu Bu

My rescue mission had been completed

My mission to avenge Xu Lin

will soon be completed as well

Those meant to die, will die in the end

Those meant to live, will survive

Xu Lin would often say this when he was alive

He's waiting for you in the Underworld

He...

It's not over yet

You're not dead yet

They can still fight

There are actually such warriors in the realm

He's really a monster

You and I are different

Lu Bu

Right now

you're in a lot of pain, right?

Pain is not important

What's most important is satisfaction

Now

do you still want to kill me?

I...

Little shrew

do you see this?

What?

This is the halberd of the formidable Lu Bu

Today, I shall forsake it

I'll trade it for your sword

You people

are all no match for Lu Bu

If you want to survive, trade weapons with me

You were the one who saved me from the Luoyang river channel

The one who saved me at the northern gate tower

was also you

Am I right?

Leader of the Handicapped Warriors

Woman

From the moment we met

you've been trying to catch me or kill me

Why would I save you?

Don't tell me

you think I covet the Sun family's power

that I'm using this to get close to you for a sinister plot

Why do young ladies like you

always like to let your imagination run wild?

Hey, kid

There's no use in changing your mind now

I won't give you back your sword

As long as you survive

I'll promise you this

Young Lady, what did you promise him?

How annoying

Victory or Defeat

Victory or Defeat Will it be a victory or defeat?

Victory or Defeat

Countless warriors have died by Lu Bu's halberd

I'm afraid that young man will also…

Are battles this cold and ruthless?

Many young people with great aspirations

are instantly wiped out in the end

like shooting stars

The handicapped have no prospects despite surviving

Handicapped Warriors

You fool, why are you crying?

My life isn't important at all

We're both Handicapped Warriors

Remember

No matter what situation we face in the future

you don't need to bother about my survival

The mission comes first

Handicapped Warriors

Don't die

If you die

my efforts

would've been for nothing

She's right

The one who killed 15 of my officers at the northern gate tower

must have been you

Besides myself, you are the only one

capable of this in the whole of Luoyang city

You're also the only idiot in the whole of Luoyang city

to be repeatedly fooled by me

Unfortunately, people who fool me will only end up dead

Don't you get it? This won't be the last time I fool you

It's time for you to die

Xu Lin has been waiting for you

in the Underworld for a long time!

How strange

I suddenly know what pain is

Pain

is the fear that originates from within you

Or perhaps

when compared to this monster

I suddenly feel like a human being

I have killed countless people

None of those who claim to be

strong individuals have survived

my painted halberd

Yet today

I am using two halberds

This person is definitely not an ordinary assassin

Furthermore, he also has

an extraordinary group of companions standing behind him

Is it finally taking effect?

Brother Huo is so heavily injured

Can he still go on fighting?

He'll definitely be fine

Here's the antidote

She was poisoned

Poisoned? What happened?

A beautiful flower will always have thorns

Young Master

What's even more frightening is that

there must be an

incredible strategist

backing this group of people

The poison was actually hidden in her mouth

I have really been fooled

Lu Bu

Do you believe me now?

Luckily, it doesn't seem very toxic

If you had been poisoned too early

it would've been difficult to pull off our huge plan

to take Dong Zhuo hostage and save everyone

The key to this plan lies in

the fact that the poison would flare up along the way

if you persisted in hunting us down

Unfortunately, you have underestimated my physical strength

Before rushing back to remove the poison,

I still have enough strength left to kill you

The poison took effect a little too late

however

you also underestimated one matter

Behind you

is a group of people whose families have been killed by you people

When you were the hunter, they were the prey

now that you have become the prey...

As long as they kill Lu Bu

the Guandong Coalition will definitely reward them generously

With money, they can rebuild their homes

Did you predict all of this?

The Handicapped Warriors have never been defeated

We'll also escape unscathed this time

This is such a meticulous plan

Is this boy human or a ghost?

Young Lady, don't go over there

He's definitely not a ghost

He's just a

monster

I do not fear ten thousand people

Do you think I'll fear a few hundred people?

Then

besides this group of people full of anger

what if there's also

a brat who won't fall even after taking a few hundred of your moves?

He can't be killed, he really can't be killed

I am an assassin

I have long disregarded whether I live or die

So no matter the occasion

I'll still continue to fight

until you fall from the poison

until one of us truly dies

You talk too much

You just want me to retreat from this difficult situation

because

you're already afraid

Afraid?

Why would I be afraid of scum like you who betray their father for glory?

Has this kid gone crazy?

Why must he enrage Lu Bu in such an unrelenting manner?

He is really going to risk his life

Say that one more time

Lu Bu

You're a turncoat who murdered your father for glory

and discarded your principles for personal gain!

You have won

this round

You're a truly frightening person

Under such circumstances

you could still calmly weigh the pros and cons

you could still calmly weigh the pros and cons Pros and Cons

Pros and Cons

Pros and Cons And the choice you made in the end

Pros and Cons

Pros and Cons is still one that will spread your notoriety far and wide

is still one that will spread your notoriety far and wide

I only wanted to kill you to repay Xu Lin

for the help and appreciation he gave me

If I were to really take you down together with me

it would be too foolish of me

Lu Bu, stop!

We never said we were letting you go

Right

Run!

I swear by the Heavens that

the next time we meet

will be the day you die

Keep going

Don't turn back

This is absurd

I'm suddenly afraid of death

So afraid that I can't even stand properly

Liaoyuan Huo

This isn't like you

Wrong

I am who I am

I am waiting

Waiting

for the moment the fire phoenix sets the plains on fire

Am I in a dream

or

is this dream my life?

Was that an illusion?

Or was it

a revelation from the huge fire at Luoyang?

Second Young Master, they have come

There are other people inside the carriage

Liaoyuan Huo

You meddlesome guy

You have

pushed me onto the stage of history

Ah Man

Are we hunting down Dong Zhuo?

Stories that did not actually happen in history

Freehand sketch by Chan Mou for the donghua

Leave home, your father is safe

The stylus carves out the landscape, depicting the thousand mile journey home in every inch of the drawing

Part ways with your father, your wife is safe

The bride stays home alone, how many lines have been written in the letters over these ten years

Part ways with your wife, the children are safe

The sword leans propped up against the fence, facing a line of geese returning home

Men who have left home miss their families

If this parting cannot be overcome, you remain closed off to the vastness of the world

Men who have left home miss their families

One night of a reed pipe playing brings pain to the faces of the soldiers in the entire camp

Separation in life is painful for the soldiers on the ground

Separation in death is painful for the dead under the banners

Having no family is painful, no clothes can't be mended

Having no wife is painful, who will I be buried with?

Being childless is painful, there is no place to return to

Having no roots is even more painful
