1. Episode 12: "A Blade That Doesn't Cut"Copy !req
2. This is strange. I know he ran this way!Copy !req
3. Forget about this place. Let's head
back and take another look around.Copy !req
4. Man, talk about a persistent bunch.Copy !req
5. Well, I guess I can relax a bit for now.Copy !req
6. Have to say, abandoning the deal
at the most critical moment...Copy !req
7. What the hell is Miè thinking?Copy !req
8. I thought he wanted the
Tiān Xing Jiàn's guard.Copy !req
9. Wait, hang on...Copy !req
10. Did he have another line on getting the
guard, and that made him drop the deal?Copy !req
11. That'd be bad news.Copy !req
12. I better go check out Limitless Temple.Copy !req
13. Sir Shāng! You're all right!Copy !req
14. I thought you were at Seven Sins Tower?Copy !req
15. And what are you two doing here?Copy !req
16. And Juǎn Cán, what happened to your eye!Copy !req
17. Sir Juǎn has parted ways with
Shòu Yún Xiāo and Xíng Hài,Copy !req
18. and rescued me.Copy !req
19. But the two of them followed
us to Limitless Temple.Copy !req
20. And I screwed up.Copy !req
21. I didn't realize they were following us...Copy !req
22. And ended up leading them straight
to Miss Dān Fěi's treasure.Copy !req
23. I guess things have gotten even more
complicated without me knowing.Copy !req
24. So, Yún Xiāo and Xíng Hài have
the Tiān Xing Jiàn's guard?Copy !req
25. They intend to sell it to Miè Tiān Hái.Copy !req
26. Now it's only a matter of timeCopy !req
27. until the Duàn Jiàn Cí's seal is broken.Copy !req
28. Lǐn was supposed to swipe the handle
from a safe at Seven Sins Tower.Copy !req
29. But considering this news,
that seems unlikely.Copy !req
30. Miè Tiān Hái may have predicted
every bit of what we were up to.Copy !req
31. If only I had done as you said,Copy !req
32. and waited inside of the cage,
this wouldn't have happened.Copy !req
33. Well, if that bastard
Lǐn's plan got messed up,Copy !req
34. then I guess it works out fine.Copy !req
35. Even if they target villains,Copy !req
36. someone who gets their kicks from making
a mockery of people still makes me sick.Copy !req
37. We'll just have to take the Tiān
Xing Jiàn back the noble way.Copy !req
38. How the hell is it fine?Copy !req
39. Fixing this mess is about
more than your whims!Copy !req
40. Miss Dān Fěi is desperate, all right?Copy !req
41. And I was fighting for my life with a
man who I used to treat like a brother!Copy !req
42. And here you are, in high
spirits! What's so damn funny?Copy !req
43. But Sir Juǎn, I believe he's
just trying to encourage us.Copy !req
44. I never asked for encouragement!Copy !req
45. This is the last guy
I want to get a lecture from!Copy !req
46. What exactly is it about me
that gets on your nerves?Copy !req
47. Because I have absolutely no idea
what's going on in your head!Copy !req
48. You're always laughing at and
being shocked by the wrong things!Copy !req
49. You don't care about honor or fame,Copy !req
50. but you always stick your
nose in when there's trouble!Copy !req
51. Are you being sincere?
Or are you screwing around?Copy !req
52. Things being how they are,Copy !req
53. I can't help but feel
like you're mocking me!Copy !req
54. But...Copy !req
55. Look, I didn't mean anything by it.Copy !req
56. I mean, who are you even supposed to be?Copy !req
57. You openly wear a sword,
and have the air of a real master.Copy !req
58. But you don't act like a big deal!
You never even gave us your title!Copy !req
59. What is it you want?Copy !req
60. Come on, those titles aren't something
you come up with yourself.Copy !req
61. It's something others start
calling you on their own.Copy !req
62. Then I'll come up with one for you!Copy !req
63. Let's see... you're trying to show off with
that sword that can barely cut anything,Copy !req
64. so how about "The Edgeless Blade"?Copy !req
65. Oh, no!Copy !req
66. So a sword that doesn't cut, huh?Copy !req
67. That's right! The Screaming
Phoenix Killer told us.Copy !req
68. The only impressive part about your
fighting is how you channel power.Copy !req
69. Compared to that, your swordplay has
no edge at all and is all show.Copy !req
70. I get it. Hence, the Edgeless Blade?Copy !req
71. Nice. Suits me fine.Copy !req
72. I'll take it.Copy !req
73. Seriously, what is your deal, man?Copy !req
74. We have you now, you lousy actor!Copy !req
75. Did you honestly think you could escape?Copy !req
76. The Xuán Guǐ Zōng!Copy !req
77. So damn persistent... you
guys still haven't given up?Copy !req
78. You gave us some trouble, but we
caught additional prey thanks to you!Copy !req
79. A perfect example of two
birds with one stone!Copy !req
80. I'll hold them off.Copy !req
81. Miss Hù Yìn Shī, take our
wounded friend and get out of here.Copy !req
82. No! You can't mean to face them alone.Copy !req
83. Take them!Copy !req
84. Go! Get out of here, Dān Fěi!Copy !req
85. But...Copy !req
86. You fool.Copy !req
87. You think we'd let them escape?Copy !req
88. Bastard! Bring it on, then!Copy !req
89. I don't think so!Copy !req
90. Your idiocy knows no end! To throw
away your weapon like that...Copy !req
91. Huh... what'd I throw away, now?Copy !req
92. Oh, no!Copy !req
93. I need to get this to him!Copy !req
94. Wh-What is this thing!Copy !req
95. Sir Juǎn?Copy !req
96. This sword... it doesn't
have an cutting edge.Copy !req
97. No, it's not even iron!Copy !req
98. He just took a piece of
wood and painted it silver!Copy !req
99. That can't be...Copy !req
100. Then how does he...?Copy !req
101. You bastard! How did you
do that without a sword?Copy !req
102. You need to stop making dumb assumptions.Copy !req
103. See, I was never using a
sword in the first place.Copy !req
104. Impossible!Copy !req
105. This can't be!Copy !req
106. Did you think that only sharpened
metal could form an edge?Copy !req
107. Don't presume so much, boy!Copy !req
108. If you channel the right force into it,Copy !req
109. then hair and cloth can split fleshCopy !req
110. and shatter bone!Copy !req
111. Just who in the world are you?Copy !req
112. They call me the Edgeless
Blade... apparently.Copy !req
113. Though, we just came up with that.Copy !req
114. Amazing...Copy !req
115. Now, then... if you run, I won't chase you.Copy !req
116. Damn you!Copy !req
117. Do not underestimate the
Xuán Guǐ Zōng's fortitude!Copy !req
118. Festering... Bone Heart!Copy !req
119. Formless Rogue Sword: Specter Shattering!Copy !req
120. You damn fool...Copy !req
121. It never occurred to you to run, train
hard, and take another shot at me?Copy !req
122. You... you've been fighting
with this sword all along?Copy !req
123. Pretty good, right?Copy !req
124. Doesn't rust when it's wet, easy to take
care of, and best of all, it's light.Copy !req
125. Perfect for carrying on long journeys.Copy !req
126. But... to be able to fight against
sharpened metal with a wooden sword...Copy !req
127. You demonstrate such proficient
qi channeling with such ease.Copy !req
128. It's not easy at all!Copy !req
129. It exhausts the hell out of me,
and takes a real toll internally.Copy !req
130. I am totally wiped out.Copy !req
131. You could just use a regular sword...
Why go to all this trouble?Copy !req
132. Well, shouldn't it be troubling
to cut someone down?Copy !req
133. No matter how great your skills are,Copy !req
134. it should never be an casual,
simple matter to brandish a sword.Copy !req
135. But when you're a slob to the core like me,Copy !req
136. constantly being penitent
is too much of a pain.Copy !req
137. Carrying a sword with
no edge is a lot easier.Copy !req
138. Then Shā Wú Shēng thought your
sword was made of actual iron,Copy !req
139. and underestimated you because
it lacked an edge?Copy !req
140. You came from Xī Yōu,Copy !req
141. which is why you didn't know
of the Screaming Phoenix KillerCopy !req
142. and the Enigmatic Gale.Copy !req
143. Well, yeah.Copy !req
144. But if there was a hero who was
just as famous as them in Xī Yōu,Copy !req
145. there'd be no way for us people from
Dōng Li to know about him, would there?Copy !req
146. Are you actually...Copy !req
147. Right now, I'm Shāng Bù
Huàn, the Edgeless Blade.Copy !req
148. And that's fine with me.Copy !req
149. Now, then... if you could,
Miss Hù Yìn Shī,Copy !req
150. can you show me the way to the
Duàn Jiàn Cí from here?Copy !req
151. Even with no one to guard the sword,Copy !req
152. the protective field is still in effect, eh?Copy !req
153. It's good that I arrived
first, but this sensation...Copy !req
154. Could it be that I've
underestimated Miè Tiān Hái?Copy !req
155. His selfish ambition to take the Shén Huì
Mó Xiè from the care of the Hù Yìn Shī...Copy !req
156. I had thought that arrogance
was what I needed to steal.Copy !req
157. But is the Tiān Xing Jiàn really that
valuable to the Bones of Creation?Copy !req
158. Is that really it?Copy !req
159. Were you waiting long, Miè Tiān Hái?Copy !req
160. No, I just arrived as well.Copy !req
161. How did it go?Copy !req
162. As you can see...Copy !req
163. Splendid. Thanks to your cooperation,Copy !req
164. I have been able to easily
outmaneuver the Enigmatic Gale.Copy !req
165. You have my gratitude.Copy !req
166. As long as the reward
demonstrates that gratitude...Copy !req
167. That'll be just fine.Copy !req
168. Now, the time has finally
come for my wish to come true!Copy !req
169. There's something I need to ask you.Copy !req
170. Yes, what is it?Copy !req
171. The demon god that the Tiān Xing Jiàn
defeated in the War of Fading Dusk...Copy !req
172. You're sure it was Yāo Tú Lí, right?Copy !req
173. Yes, that is what the records say.Copy !req
174. So, Yāo Tú Lí wasn't forced
back to the demon realm,Copy !req
175. but was actually destroyed in our world?Copy !req
176. No, that's...Copy !req
177. Concepts like death and destruction do not
apply to demon gods in the first place.Copy !req
178. Even if you destroy their form,
they can return in a new body.Copy !req
179. That is why they are so fearsome.Copy !req
180. Thus, the Shén Huì Mó XièCopy !req
181. are weapons whose purpose is to force
them to return to the demon realm.Copy !req
182. The Tiān Xing Jiàn is no exception.Copy !req
183. So, Yāo Tú Lí should be
in the demon realm, right?Copy !req
184. But it's not like you've been
there to confirm that.Copy !req
185. Is something troubling you?Copy !req
186. A little bit.Copy !req
187. For now, let's just hurry on.Copy !req
188. This is the Tiān Xing Jiàn!Copy !req
189. Its power, which can
strike down a demon god...Copy !req
190. Just how great will it be?Copy !req
191. Now...Copy !req
192. Awaken from your 200 years
of slumber, by my hand.Copy !req
193. Tiān Xing Jiàn!Copy !req
194. Wh-What is this shaking?Copy !req
195. What is that thing?Copy !req
196. Then it's true! It's as I suspected!Copy !req
197. What is this, Xíng Hài?Copy !req
198. What is that monster down there?Copy !req
199. You should tremble... You should bow down!Copy !req
200. What you see here is the
demon god, Yāo Tú Lí!Copy !req
201. The incantation of destruction, long
thought to have been lost to oblivion!Copy !req
202. Then he was not slain?Copy !req
203. Don't be so conceited.Copy !req
204. Do you think that we, who are
mythic and immortal gods,Copy !req
205. can be wiped out by magical weapons cooked
up by a couple of mountain wizards?Copy !req
206. How pitifully comical!Copy !req
207. Forcing one such as him into
a state of persistent sleepCopy !req
208. is the best your kind could have managed.Copy !req
209. Then the Tiān Xing Jiàn's seal was not
simply to prevent the sword's removal,Copy !req
210. but a means of keeping
the demon god contained?Copy !req
211. I see, so that's the game here.Copy !req
212. Bones of Creation!Copy !req
213. Return the sword to its pedestal!Copy !req
214. He's still asleep! There's still time!Copy !req
215. What are you saying?Copy !req
216. That demon god being let loose means
the return of the War of Fading Dusk!Copy !req
217. All who live will be hunted down and killed!Copy !req
218. You and I are no exception!Copy !req
219. I'd rather you not interfere.Copy !req
220. Xíng Hài!Copy !req
221. Wh-What are you...Copy !req
222. There was only one reason I sought
the Tiān Xing Jiàn with you fools.Copy !req
223. To remove that wretched sealing swordCopy !req
224. from the Duàn Jiàn Cí's pedestal!Copy !req
225. X-Xíng...Copy !req
226. Hài... you wretch!Copy !req
227. I see.Copy !req
228. Then this was your aim all along,
Xíng Hài, the Night's Lament?Copy !req
229. The fate of Yāo Tú LíCopy !req
230. has long been a mystery to us demons.Copy !req
231. The Hù Yìn Shī who erected this shrine...Copy !req
232. I congratulate them on keeping
the secret for so long.Copy !req
233. But in their desire to keep that secret,Copy !req
234. they failed to let their descendants
know the nature of the shrine.Copy !req
235. How supremely foolish.Copy !req
236. Well, if the truth of the Tiān Xing
Jiàn's seal was common knowledge,Copy !req
237. the Duàn Jiàn Cí's defensesCopy !req
238. would not have fallen so easily
to the Xuán Guǐ Zōng, either.Copy !req
239. But if that were the case,Copy !req
240. we demons would have descended
upon this shrine en masse.Copy !req
241. The humans made the right choice.Copy !req
242. Even I, until I was certain of
the Tiān Xing Jiàn's nature,Copy !req
243. was too afraid to take action.Copy !req
244. If you've been acting in accordance
with your own agenda all along...Copy !req
245. Then I needn't pay you for the guard.Copy !req
246. Well, human, I now ask you this...Copy !req
247. What will you do with that sword?Copy !req
248. If I were to change my mind,Copy !req
249. and choose to seal Yāo Tú Lí once more...Copy !req
250. Then you would face me in battle.Copy !req
251. A battle to determine the
fate of the human realm!Copy !req
252. There's no need.Copy !req
253. The return of a demon god? I welcome it.Copy !req
254. A world of chaos is a one
where the sword rules supreme.Copy !req
255. A fitting path for me to travel!Copy !req
256. Foolish! Foolish in every detail!Copy !req
257. This is why you humans are beyond help!Copy !req
258. If I must seal Yāo Tú Lí,Copy !req
259. let it be after he's wrought
havoc upon the world first.Copy !req
260. Then, my name will be that of a savior...Copy !req
261. And I will be worshiped as one.Copy !req
262. I see. Then the next time
we meet, it will be as foes.Copy !req
263. Very well.Copy !req
264. I will correct your overconfidence
when we meet again!Copy !req
265. Get to work, Xíng Hài.Copy !req
266. I'm sure your mighty demon
god requires another ritualCopy !req
267. before he can fully rouse
himself from his slumber.Copy !req
268. If you don't hurry,
someone is likely to catch on.Copy !req
269. Then we part for now, Bones of Creation.Copy !req
270. Until we meet again,
amid the hellish pandemonium!Copy !req
271. Now, I know you're there, Enigmatic Gale.Copy !req
272. It's time to cease your eavesdropping.Copy !req
273. Being admonished for something like that...Copy !req
274. When I'm a thief in the
first place is a bit odd.Copy !req
275. Behold! I already wield the Tiān Xing Jiàn.Copy !req
276. And what of you, Lǐn Xuě Yā?Copy !req
277. After crawling around in the shadows
and coming up with petty schemes...Copy !req
278. What have you gained?Copy !req
279. I happened to gain the answerCopy !req
280. I needed while I was
eavesdropping on the roof.Copy !req
281. Miè Tiān Hái, your ethos as a champion...Copy !req
282. In other words, the nature of your
arrogance, is now clear to me.Copy !req
283. That is the treasure which
I truly intend to steal.Copy !req
284. Really?Copy !req
285. You should have been disappointed to
learn the truth of the Tiān Xing Jiàn,Copy !req
286. yet you don't seem discouraged at all.Copy !req
287. In fact,Copy !req
288. you're letting a demon god that could
destroy the world get free without a pause.Copy !req
289. No disillusionment at your dream being
untrue, or fear of the future.Copy !req
290. A man who solves all his problems
himself, and is thus, always satisfied.Copy !req
291. That's who you are.Copy !req
292. Your desires, your joy...
They are all deeply internal for you.Copy !req
293. In other words, the ultimate
sword you speak ofCopy !req
294. is not a famous, miraculous
Shén Huì Mó Xiè...Copy !req
295. But your swordplay, which
you have honed to greatness,Copy !req
296. with few ever learning its nature.Copy !req
297. You believe that your
technique reigns supreme,Copy !req
298. and simply wanted the Tiān Xing
Jiàn as a weapon worthy of it.Copy !req
299. Precisely! Undefeated and
unparalleled sword techniquesCopy !req
300. are the throne upon which my pride sits.Copy !req
301. And that is not something that
some bandit can simply steal.Copy !req
302. If my target is something that pedestrian,Copy !req
303. there's no need for sophisticated methods...Copy !req
304. Simply taking it by force
will more than suffice.Copy !req
305. Next Time "A New Duty"Copy !req
306. A diabolic curse awakens.Copy !req
307. A god speaks of encroaching annihilation.Copy !req
308. The earth-shattering
fantasy nears its climaxCopy !req
309. with a battle to end it all!Copy !req
