1. Once, the residents of the demon
realm marched across the land,
Copy !req
2. Episode 2 Attack of the Xuán Guǐ Zōng!
Copy !req
3. seeking to scorch human the realm.
This was the War of Fading Dusk.
Copy !req
4. Humanity, at the brink of extinction,
Copy !req
5. sought the guidance of the
Xian immortals to give birth
Copy !req
6. to countless weapons for
their final counterattack.
Copy !req
7. These are the Shén Huì Mó Xiè.
Copy !req
8. Legendary treasures of supernatural
strength forged to let man
Copy !req
9. stand on even footing against demons.
Copy !req
10. With their incredible power,
Copy !req
11. the demons were forced back to
the depths of their own realm,
Copy !req
12. and peace returned to the world.
Copy !req
13. The few intact Shén Huì Mó Xiè
Copy !req
14. that had survived the war
were enshrined on holy ground
Copy !req
15. to ensure their incredible power would
not fall into hands of the wicked,
Copy !req
16. and watched over by the Hù Yìn Shī.
Copy !req
17. My clan, the Dān, are responsible for the
Duàn Jiàn Cí shrine where one is enshrined.
Copy !req
18. It is the sword named Tiān Xing Jiàn.
Copy !req
19. And even among the many Shén Huì Mó Xiè,
Copy !req
20. it is said to have extraordinarily
dangerous power.
Copy !req
21. But a group calling themselves
the Xuán Guǐ Zōng attacked,
Copy !req
22. hoping to pillage the mystic blade.
Copy !req
23. I see... I have heard
that Miè Tiān Hái,
Copy !req
24. who leads the Xuán Guǐ Zōng,
is consumed by an unearthly fixation
Copy !req
25. on valuable and treasured swords.
Copy !req
26. But to think he'd be so brazen as to set his
sights on a legendary Shén Huì Xiè Mó?
Copy !req
27. Goodness gracious...
Copy !req
28. I apologize for not saying so
earlier, but my name is Dān Fěi.
Copy !req
29. Though I lack in strength, I am one of the
Hù Yìn Shī who guard the Duàn Jiàn Cí.
Copy !req
30. I don't know how to thank you both.
Copy !req
31. I am... just call me Guǐ Niǎo.
Copy !req
32. I'm a simple wanderer,
too insignificant to be called by name.
Copy !req
33. You were actually saved by
this fellow, Shāng Bù Huàn.
Copy !req
34. I didn't do it because I wanted to.
Copy !req
35. I was just caught up in your mess.
Copy !req
36. Still, after raiding its hiding place,
Copy !req
37. the Xuán Guǐ Zōng should
have what they were after.
Copy !req
38. Why chase you all the way out here?
Copy !req
39. No... the Tiān Xing Jiàn is still secure.
Copy !req
40. The pedestal it sits upon
has a seal placed upon it,
Copy !req
41. so that it can not be taken from the shrine.
Copy !req
42. Then the key to this seal...
Copy !req
43. The sword's handle and guard.
Copy !req
44. The Tiān Xing Jiàn's blade stands alone,
sealed within the Duàn Jiàn Cí.
Copy !req
45. Affixing its handle and guard and
restoring it to its original form
Copy !req
46. is the only way to remove
it from its pedestal.
Copy !req
47. Might I see that?
Copy !req
48. Yes, go ahead.
Copy !req
49. Since my predecessor passed the
duty of a Hù Yìn Shī onto me,
Copy !req
50. I have carried it with me at all times,
valuing it more than my life as I protect it.
Copy !req
51. My older brother was entrusted with
the handle in the same fashion.
Copy !req
52. But my brother... was killed
when Miè Tiān Hái arrived.
Copy !req
53. Now, then, Lady Dān Fěi...
Copy !req
54. What will you do next?
Copy !req
55. Avenge my brother, of course.
Copy !req
56. I will strike down Miè Tiān Hái.
Copy !req
57. I'll need to retrieve the Tiān
Xing Jiàn's handle as well.
Copy !req
58. You mean to tell me your big brother
was weaker than his sister?
Copy !req
59. No, not at all!
Copy !req
60. My brother was a first-rate swordsman.
Copy !req
61. I pale in comparison to him.
Copy !req
62. So how exactly are you gonna kill the man
Copy !req
63. who killed your brother,
if you're not even as good as him?
Copy !req
64. You might want to cool your
head and think it over.
Copy !req
65. That's...
Copy !req
66. But still, the Shén Huì Mó Xiè have
been targeted by foul villains.
Copy !req
67. I know there are those who will
come to my aid, if called upon.
Copy !req
68. But of course! And I, Guǐ Niǎo,
will gladly accompany you.
Copy !req
69. Thank you so much!
Copy !req
70. To ignore the call to duty
is to show cowardice,
Copy !req
71. wouldn't you say, most honorable hero,
Shāng Bù Huàn?
Copy !req
72. That's not funny. I flat-out refuse.
Copy !req
73. Come now, weren't you listening?
Copy !req
74. The ancient Shén Huì Mó
Xiè and their fearsome power
Copy !req
75. are on the verge into falling
into villainous hands.
Copy !req
76. None of my business.
Copy !req
77. I'm not a hero, a saint, or your servant.
Copy !req
78. And I make a point to avoid annoying trouble.
Copy !req
79. But you saved me before...
Copy !req
80. That was... the spur of the moment.
Copy !req
81. And a bit of goading, from him.
Copy !req
82. Like I said, I didn't do
it because I wanted to.
Copy !req
83. Still playing the selfish oaf...?
Copy !req
84. Well, let me make it clear, then!
Copy !req
85. I have no intention of getting involved any
further with a shrewd bastard like you!
Copy !req
86. You're calling yourself Guǐ Niǎo, right?
Copy !req
87. Maybe now you can risk your own
neck playing good Samaritan!
Copy !req
88. Got it?
Copy !req
89. He's so upset...
Copy !req
90. Did I do something wrong?
Copy !req
91. You don't need to worry about it.
Copy !req
92. He's bound to be in a better
mood when you next see him.
Copy !req
93. I'll see him again?
Copy !req
94. You called, Master?
Copy !req
95. What has become of the Hù Yìn Shī girl?
Copy !req
96. We've no new information, sir.
Copy !req
97. We're trying to find the whereabouts
of this Shāng Bù Huàn
Copy !req
98. who Cán Xiōng informed us of.
Copy !req
99. Our men are stationed
along nearly every road.
Copy !req
100. It's a simple matter of
time until he is found.
Copy !req
101. Long ago I started my
collection priceless, mystic blades
Copy !req
102. whose names echo across the land,
Copy !req
103. but there are none that compare to
a work like the Tiān Xing Jiàn.
Copy !req
104. It is the very incarnation
of immortal secrets.
Copy !req
105. The notion of leaving it in a dusty Hù
Yìn Shī shack is out of the question.
Copy !req
106. You are a sword saint unrivaled
throughout the land, Master.
Copy !req
107. Only an incomparable masterpiece
is fit to hang at your side.
Copy !req
108. Spare me the flattery.
Copy !req
109. I desire only the key to unlock
the seal of the Duàn Jiàn Cí...
Copy !req
110. The sword guard the girl has.
Copy !req
111. Obtain it as quickly as possible!
Copy !req
112. Yes, sir. It will be yours.
Copy !req
113. If I obtain the Tiān Xing Jiàn's guard,
Copy !req
114. I wonder how much favor Lord
Tiān Hái will show me?
Copy !req
115. This should do.
Copy !req
116. What are those?
Copy !req
117. I've written letters calling
upon important allies,
Copy !req
118. since we will be challenging Miè Tiān Hái.
Copy !req
119. You have power over birds?
Copy !req
120. It will deliver the letters
to the nearest town.
Copy !req
121. And the bird master there
Copy !req
122. will then send them to their destinations,
along with different birds.
Copy !req
123. Are you always so well-prepared?
Copy !req
124. Dealing with people is a like
slipping through a hole in net.
Copy !req
125. Knowing the best methods for that
sort of thing is almost my only strength.
Copy !req
126. But Sir Guǐ Niǎo, why go so far to help me?
Copy !req
127. Due to certain circumstances, I am
acquainted with Miè Tiān Hái.
Copy !req
128. Eh?
Copy !req
129. You know him yourself?
Copy !req
130. Yes... and the Bones of Creation
is a dangerous man.
Copy !req
131. With the great power of the Shén Huì Mó Xiè,
he would surely bring ruin to the land.
Copy !req
132. Why didn't you appeal to Sir Shāng with
such a reasonable argument before he left?
Copy !req
133. Perhaps he might have agreed then.
Copy !req
134. Oh, he won't need convincing
to come to our aid.
Copy !req
135. But before, he said he
wouldn't help us anymore.
Copy !req
136. Even if we travel down different roads
right now, our destination is the same.
Copy !req
137. You're a very mysterious
person, Sir Guǐ Niǎo.
Copy !req
138. Good grief! Maybe now I can sleep on
something soft, with a roof over my head.
Copy !req
139. Right and—
Copy !req
140. What the...?
Copy !req
141. Hey, let me have one of your shaobing.
Copy !req
142. I'm closed for business
today! Try somewhere else!
Copy !req
143. Somewhere else...?
Copy !req
144. Look, I just want to buy some food.
I've even got money to pay.
Copy !req
145. You can take whatever you want, but please,
Copy !req
146. get out of here right now!
Before it's too late!
Copy !req
147. Hey!
Copy !req
148. What the hell's wrong with this town?
Copy !req
149. What is this?
Copy !req
150. "Any who trade with this man or speak to him
Copy !req
151. will be marked as a sworn enemy
of the Xuán Guǐ Zōng."
Copy !req
152. Guess I'm not sleeping indoors tonight.
Copy !req
153. Well, at least I got something to eat.
Copy !req
154. Are you Shāng Bù Huàn?
Copy !req
155. Who knows?
Copy !req
156. If I was him, I probably wouldn't want
to give my name to some damn stranger.
Copy !req
157. You make this Shāng fellow
sound like quite an eccentric.
Copy !req
158. Poor guy's been through Hell, I bet.
Copy !req
159. And now he's being real cautious about anyone
Copy !req
160. in this country who's on the side of the
road and making strange assumptions.
Copy !req
161. If you aren't Shāng Bù Huàn,
you can ignore this.
Copy !req
162. But the Xuán Guǐ Zōng are waiting
in ambush in the wilderness ahead.
Copy !req
163. It seems like this Shāng
guy's got really awful luck.
Copy !req
164. I've finally found you, Shāng Bù Huàn!
Copy !req
165. Are you the ones who posted
those weird warnings in town?
Copy !req
166. Well?
Copy !req
167. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
168. Did you like them?
Copy !req
169. Can't say it's much of a likeness.
Copy !req
170. Might ask you to redraw it with
me looking a bit more handsome.
Copy !req
171. Very well!
Copy !req
172. I'll make sure the picture on
your memorial is much nicer!
Copy !req
173. Just so you know, I cut ties
to the Hù Yìn Shī girl.
Copy !req
174. You can ask about where they are,
but I've got no answers.
Copy !req
175. Oh, really?
Copy !req
176. Well, that saves the trouble
of questioning you.
Copy !req
177. All that's left is to
avenge Cán Xiōng, then.
Copy !req
178. So that's how it's gonna be?
Copy !req
179. Listen, was this Cán Xiōng
your relative or your lover?
Copy !req
180. Don't make me laugh.
Copy !req
181. That fool is just the Xuán
Guǐ Zōng's disgrace,
Copy !req
182. who was beaten by some unknown vagrant.
Copy !req
183. If he were reborn, I'd return
him to the underworld myself!
Copy !req
184. You want to avenge someone
you barely care about?
Copy !req
185. Don't misunderstand me.
Copy !req
186. This is simply about saving face.
Copy !req
187. The Xuán Guǐ Zōng's soldiers
can not accept defeat.
Copy !req
188. If someone has defied us
and managed to survive...
Copy !req
189. That can't be ignored.
Copy !req
190. Is this the policy of
your leader, Miè Tiān Hái?
Copy !req
191. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
192. The Master is a very proud man.
Copy !req
193. I could understand if he was risking
his own life for his pride.
Copy !req
194. But sending your servants to die
in vain isn't exactly praiseworthy.
Copy !req
195. You're still confused about who'll
die and who'll do the killing here?
Copy !req
196. How deliciously optimistic of you!
Copy !req
197. Yeah, that's right...
Copy !req
198. Not knowing how a fight to the death will
end is why people draw their swords.
Copy !req
199. I'd explain that to you,
but I doubt you'd listen!
Copy !req
200. Let me correct you, then.
Copy !req
201. You deserve death, and will die,
Shāng Bù Huàn!
Copy !req
202. Hold it right there!
Copy !req
203. Let those within earshot hear my words!
Copy !req
204. Let those who can see bear witness!
Copy !req
205. Arriving like a storm, shaking the earth...
Copy !req
206. The warrior whose name is
known throughout the East!
Copy !req
207. I am called the Frozen Wonder!
Juǎn Cán Yún and his spear have arrived!
Copy !req
208. Huh? Aren't we fighting?
Copy !req
209. Uh, yeah... What are you supposed to be?
Copy !req
210. Hey, now! That's kind of a rude
way to react to your savior!
Copy !req
211. Can't you spare some gratitude
or astonishment or something?
Copy !req
212. Look, it's pretty obvious, but we're
in the middle of something here.
Copy !req
213. If you don't wanna get hurt, back off.
Copy !req
214. Like I said, I'm here to take the fight
that's been picked with you off your hands!
Copy !req
215. What idiocy is this?
Copy !req
216. Who are you, bastard?
Copy !req
217. Like I said, I just told you!
Copy !req
218. I'm known as the Frozen Wonder, Juǎn Cán Yún!
Copy !req
219. You've probably heard of me, right?
I'm kind of a big deal lately.
Copy !req
220. I get it... you're one of those guys
Copy !req
221. who goes around thinking
whatever's convenient to him, right?
Copy !req
222. Have you ever listened to
someone in your entire life?
Copy !req
223. Shut up, you! I came here to save you,
so what's with the attitude?
Copy !req
224. Why were you trying to save me, anyway?
Copy !req
225. Why? That's...
Copy !req
226. Wait, why are the Xuán Guǐ Zōng
after you, anyway?
Copy !req
227. It doesn't matter!
Copy !req
228. Get both of them!
Copy !req
229. Both of them, including the young one?
Copy !req
230. Whatever the circumstances,
the fool's standing against us.
Copy !req
231. If he wants to die that badly,
let's grant his wish.
Copy !req
232. Well, then...
Copy !req
233. What the—? Where was that fired from?
Copy !req
234. As there are those who see
nothing with both eyes,
Copy !req
235. there are those who can see
vast distances with one.
Copy !req
236. My gaze is the path of an arrow,
Copy !req
237. piercing those who fail to turn away.
Copy !req
238. When fighting someone in earnest...
Copy !req
239. There's but one thing to say.
Copy !req
240. Telling them you're going
to kill them is enough.
Copy !req
241. You talk too much, Juǎn.
Copy !req
242. Lady Liè Mèi, that came from
the other side of those woods!
Copy !req
243. Th-That can't be! No one could land
an arrow from that distance!
Copy !req
244. Aw man, there he goes.
Copy !req
245. I guess I'm not getting any action, now.
Copy !req
246. What the hell's going on?
Copy !req
247. I'd stay put if I were you, friend.
Copy !req
248. Move around too much, and you'll
get in the big man's way.
Copy !req
249. It's a messed-up thing
my bro Shòu tends to do.
Copy !req
250. He hates to stand out too much,
Copy !req
251. but he's an expert at stealing the spotlight.
Copy !req
252. Your bro?
Copy !req
253. You haven't met him?
Copy !req
254. But he said he was going on
before me to get a look at you.
Copy !req
255. Oh, the one-eye.
Copy !req
256. He had an odd bow, didn't he?
Copy !req
257. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Copy !req
258. You saw my bro's one eye and steel bow,
Copy !req
259. and didn't recognize him as the
Sharp-Eyed Impaler, Shòu Yún Xiāo?
Copy !req
260. Do you live underwater or something?
Copy !req
261. Shut up! And leave me alone.
Copy !req
262. Damn you!
Copy !req
263. Meteor walking, eh?
Copy !req
264. I thought they were just weaklings, but...
Copy !req
265. Quite impressive.
Copy !req
266. You! Are you the Sharp-Eyed Impaler?
Copy !req
267. None other!
Copy !req
268. To see my arrows loosed and
face me without running...
Copy !req
269. If nothing else, you Xuán Guǐ Zōng
dogs are impressively bold.
Copy !req
270. Such nonsense!
Copy !req
271. No matter how skilled you are with that bow,
Copy !req
272. how can you fight us at this range?
Copy !req
273. Even with your speed,
you'll only be able to hit two of us.
Copy !req
274. Then, the blade of the one left
standing will send your head flying!
Copy !req
275. Your famous name, known through the land,
comes to its end here...
Copy !req
276. Sharp-Eyed Impaler!
Copy !req
277. Well, now... we'll see.
Copy !req
278. Ridiculous! Have you gone mad?
Copy !req
279. If you think people can
choose how they die...
Copy !req
280. You're gravely mistaken.
Copy !req
281. You dogs don't realize that your place
of dying has been chosen for you.
Copy !req
282. Nonsense!
Copy !req
283. Y-You...!
Copy !req
284. Wha—
Copy !req
285. For you to fall over from that blow...
Copy !req
286. I suppose I overestimated you.
Copy !req
287. I imagined you would've steadied
your footing with one less step.
Copy !req
288. What will you do?
Copy !req
289. Not many get a chance to choose
where they will die, you know.
Copy !req
290. Remember this! I will repay this dishonor!
Copy !req
291. What the hell was all that about?
Copy !req
292. I ask you again: are you Shāng Bù Huàn?
Copy !req
293. And what if I am?
Copy !req
294. A voice whispers in the darkness.
Copy !req
295. A suspicious, enticing lullaby...
Copy !req
296. A woman's devilishness is
in full bloom at night.
Copy !req
297. Fall for the deception, and lose your life.
Copy !req
