1. The Wasteland of Spirits...
Copy !req
2. Ugh, what a revolting development!
Copy !req
3. We've been literally dropped
at the ends of the earth.
Copy !req
4. This is the Wasteland of Spirits?
Copy !req
5. Barren scenery, isn't it?
Copy !req
6. No prey to kill or lives to feast
upon as far as the eye can see.
Copy !req
7. An apocalyptic wasteland.
Copy !req
8. Just the sight of it is depressing.
Copy !req
9. And yet...
Copy !req
10. No, that is precisely why there would be
none to disturb you and I, my princess.
Copy !req
11. What?
Copy !req
12. I have been thinking...
Copy !req
13. In civilization, all will seek
you out and fight for you.
Copy !req
14. Even if I were to slay them
all and reign undefeated...
Copy !req
15. Even I will grow old and infirm with time,
or perhaps fall to illness.
Copy !req
16. And if I were to fall, you would
pass into a new wielder's hands.
Copy !req
17. How can you fret so much
about the distant future?
Copy !req
18. No. Each time the thought crosses
my mind, I am filled with dread.
Copy !req
19. The anxiety has seized my heart to the
point that I'm unable to sleep at night.
Copy !req
20. But suppose I were to meet my
end in this forsaken wasteland,
Copy !req
21. where none dare to tread.
Copy !req
22. You would never be taken by another.
Copy !req
23. You will be grasped in my dying
hands until we both return to dust,
Copy !req
24. together for all time.
Copy !req
25. What greater joy could there be?
Copy !req
26. Wh-What are you saying, Zhèn Jiè?
Copy !req
27. I must ask, my princess: have we not found
our lovers' sanctuary in this place?
Copy !req
28. Don't be ridiculous!
Copy !req
29. It is my greatest desire to drain the
overflowing life of the world of man.
Copy !req
30. The mere thought of being isolated
in these barren wastes...
Copy !req
31. No, can't you see?
Copy !req
32. You will not be isolated.
Copy !req
33. I, Lóu Zhèn Jiè, will be at your side.
Copy !req
34. W-We are leaving this land at once!
Copy !req
35. I seek a feast of predation!
Copy !req
36. I... I cannot face an end where I
am consumed by these withered sands!
Copy !req
37. Consider this ravine...
Copy !req
38. Does it not look like it goes into
the deepest depths of the earth?
Copy !req
39. If I were to throw myself into it,
surely no one would ever discover my body.
Copy !req
40. I would be alone with you, my princess,
for eternity, until the end of time itself.
Copy !req
41. Stop this! How are you defying my commands?
Copy !req
42. Wait... how can you?
Copy !req
43. You were supposed to have
been reduced to being my thrall!
Copy !req
44. Indeed I have!
Copy !req
45. Lóu Zhèn Jiè is yours,
in body and soul, my princess.
Copy !req
46. And thus, all the more reason that this
sublime blade, this heavenly shine...
Copy !req
47. must never be touched by another. It must
never even be seen by another, ever again!
Copy !req
48. Is it not natural that I would feel so?
Copy !req
49. Is this... Have you not been
affected by my sorcerous charm?
Copy !req
50. No, of course not.
Copy !req
51. I have sung your praises
and devoted myself to you
Copy !req
52. purely out of the admiration of my own soul.
Copy !req
53. The flames of yearning that
alight in my chest are,
Copy !req
54. without a doubt, mine and mine alone.
Copy !req
55. W-Wait, calm yourself and listen
to me! Do not do anything rash!
Copy !req
56. I alone am fit to be the last
man to grasp your hilt.
Copy !req
57. Do you not think so, my beloved princess?
Copy !req
58. You! Who gave you permission
to trespass upon my domain?
Copy !req
59. A d-dragon?
Copy !req
60. If you have the intellect
to use human speech...
Copy !req
61. Then how are you so dense as to
not realize you are interrupting?
Copy !req
62. You may be cloaked in the aura
of demonkind, but you're a human!
Copy !req
63. Yet another short-lived rodent dares
to shame me with their insolence!
Copy !req
64. I will show no mercy this time!
Copy !req
65. I have decided to slaughter all humans,
with no exceptions!
Copy !req
66. A bold claim, indeed.
Copy !req
67. I doubt you truly comprehend the word.
Copy !req
68. What?
Copy !req
69. It's too soon for you to act as if you
understand the meaning of slaughter...
Copy !req
70. Because you are about to learn it,
personally, in great detail.
Copy !req
71. You dare—
Copy !req
72. A-Are you insane?
Copy !req
73. A lone human cannot defeat a dragon!
Copy !req
74. I am not alone...
Copy !req
75. So long as the greatest mystic sword,
my beloved, is at my side!
Copy !req
76. A morning market without a
single person to be found...
Copy !req
77. There's been too much blood spilled.
They're all terrified.
Copy !req
78. That makes sense!
Copy !req
79. Most people wouldn't have the
guts to leave the house after
Copy !req
80. the Seven Blasphemous Deaths has
been murdering up a storm.
Copy !req
81. I was expecting someone
to show up around now...
Copy !req
82. Where's Shāng Bù Huàn?
Copy !req
83. I'm more than enough to
deal with scum like you.
Copy !req
84. Yeah? You still gonna shout
that once I show you this?
Copy !req
85. He's made puppets out of all the lawmen
from the office! This is bad news!
Copy !req
86. Just one mystic sword gives
me this kind of power!
Copy !req
87. It makes me wanna swipe
the other thirty-five, y'know?
Copy !req
88. You've gotten kind of rough around the
edges since we last saw you, huh?
Copy !req
89. Your villainy ends here!
Copy !req
90. Listen, don't overdo it.
Copy !req
91. Don't forget, you just had your life force
drained by the Seven Blasphemous Deaths!
Copy !req
92. Now, prepare to be torn to shreds!
Copy !req
93. Làng Wū Yáo!
Copy !req
94. Not bad, Song That Dooms Evil.
You're pretty impressive.
Copy !req
95. You can try and weasel out of this
by using them as your shield,
Copy !req
96. but that's not gonna work against this guy!
Copy !req
97. How about fighting fair and square for once?
Copy !req
98. Fair enough, you've got a point.
Copy !req
99. Then why don't I try it your way?
Copy !req
100. What?
Copy !req
101. Now, thirty of Dōng Li's
lawmen are under your command!
Copy !req
102. Try and put them to good use, all right?
Copy !req
103. Hey, what the hell?
What's he trying to pull?
Copy !req
104. Looks like I'm pretty severely
outnumbered and in real trouble.
Copy !req
105. Which means...
Copy !req
106. I'm totally justified in slaughtering
these guys without mercy!
Copy !req
107. What is this?
Copy !req
108. Aw, come on, you're supposed
to have the peons shield you.
Copy !req
109. Or don't tell me...
Copy !req
110. You're actually trying to keep
these goons from being hurt?
Copy !req
111. You piece of trash!
Copy !req
112. Better do a good job of having
them defend themselves!
Copy !req
113. Because if they just stand around,
they're gonna die for nothing!
Copy !req
114. I bet you've managed to get this far in
life on your own fighting skills alone,
Copy !req
115. but being in charge of others
is totally different, huh?
Copy !req
116. Bastard! Just how dirty are you gonna get?
Copy !req
117. If you want to break the puppet curse,
Copy !req
118. you'll need to pierce them in the
heart with that sword, apparently.
Copy !req
119. But of course, to kill them,
regular old brute force works fine.
Copy !req
120. Seems pretty obvious to me which
one of us can work faster!
Copy !req
121. Y'know, if you keep letting yourself
get distracted with the help...
Copy !req
122. Here!
Copy !req
123. Trying so hard to figure it out that
you're the one left helpless, huh?
Copy !req
124. Man, it works great when you use it,
and also when you have someone else use it!
Copy !req
125. The Night of Mourning is a
blade that's right up my alley!
Copy !req
126. Làng! Pull it together!
Copy !req
127. How's that? Maybe now you appreciate
Copy !req
128. just how hard it is to try and lead others.
Copy !req
129. Sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
130. Bù Huàn!
Copy !req
131. Oh, it's Shāng Bù Huàn.
Copy !req
132. This is bad news.
Copy !req
133. This little game won't hold
up if it's two on one, but...
Copy !req
134. Looks like your buddy doesn't even have
the strength to hang on to the mystic sword.
Copy !req
135. Guess that means now you have
to take control of these oafs!
Copy !req
136. Bù Huàn, save them!
Copy !req
137. Yeah. I've got it covered.
Copy !req
138. I won't let them get hurt.
Copy !req
139. Man, you're talking crazy! There's too
many for them to all get clear safely!
Copy !req
140. How's it feel to have innocent lives
depending on you, Shāng Bù Huàn?
Copy !req
141. Is your sword going to be as sharp as usual
when you're bearing that kinda weight?
Copy !req
142. Is it just me, or do you think since you
came up with the dirtiest trick imaginable,
Copy !req
143. you've already managed to win somehow?
Copy !req
144. Well, these kind of tricks tend to work
especially well on do-gooders like you.
Copy !req
145. Now, how are you going to fight with
all these fools getting underfoot?
Copy !req
146. Underfoot?
Copy !req
147. What the hell are you talking about?
Copy !req
148. When it comes to brawls, nothing beats
having the numbers advantage.
Copy !req
149. What is this?
Copy !req
150. Bù Huàn! You've got
leadership skills, too?
Copy !req
151. The most important thing when
you're leading men into a fight...
Copy !req
152. isn't worrying about how they've
entrusted their lives to you.
Copy !req
153. It's having faith that you can
trust them with your own!
Copy !req
154. That said, I'm usually not too
confident about that sort of thing.
Copy !req
155. So I try to avoid it when I can!
Copy !req
156. Why? How can someone
like you pull this off?
Copy !req
157. Your mistake was thinking
what someone won't do
Copy !req
158. and what someone can't
do are the same thing.
Copy !req
159. And when it comes to experience,
I've tried a little bit of everything.
Copy !req
160. Not that I was ever as dedicated to it as you.
Copy !req
161. Enough jokes!
Copy !req
162. Yeah, sorry about that.
See, my whole life's been half a joke!
Copy !req
163. You've got the sense to
lead a fighting force...
Copy !req
164. On top of a collection of mystic swords
that could shake the heavens and earth...
Copy !req
165. And you, in spite of it all, live like
some kind of damned vagabond?
Copy !req
166. Why?
Copy !req
167. No fancy reason here.
It's just how I like things!
Copy !req
168. You don't strike me as the straight
and narrow type either, right?
Copy !req
169. We've got that in common!
Copy !req
170. Whoa, there!
Copy !req
171. He's always got another trick up his sleeve.
Copy !req
172. Not that it matters, since I got
the mystic sword I was after back.
Copy !req
173. Looks like I left you with
a real mess to handle.
Copy !req
174. Y'know, Làng, my man...
Copy !req
175. I think worrying about this guy is just
gonna make you look silly in the end.
Copy !req
176. Huh? What are you talking about?
Copy !req
177. Just between you and me,
Copy !req
178. he thought you couldn't handle the situation,
Copy !req
179. so he wanted to take care of it by hims—
Copy !req
180. You heard that, huh?
Copy !req
181. Man, do I really seem that unreliable?
Copy !req
182. That's right. You're totally unbelievable.
Copy !req
183. In particular, you pull off things
that I have trouble believing.
Copy !req
184. I'm ever so grateful.
Copy !req
185. We would've been unable to resolve
this disaster with our strength alone!
Copy !req
186. All right, that's everybody.
Copy !req
187. I'm gonna dispose of this cursed
sword so that it doesn't
Copy !req
188. cause trouble like this again.
Copy !req
189. That's okay, right?
Copy !req
190. Right...
Copy !req
191. With Xiān Zhèn Fortress having fallen,
we've no means of dealing with it.
Copy !req
192. But please, be careful.
Copy !req
193. Some madman called Shāng Bù Huàn,
who brought these accursed weapons
Copy !req
194. from Xī Yōu, is still on the loose.
Copy !req
195. Uh, yeah...
Copy !req
196. Well... take care of yourself.
Copy !req
197. Please, wait! Sir, can you
at least tell me your name?
Copy !req
198. Er, well... I'm...
Copy !req
199. Uh, just call me the Edgeless Blade.
Copy !req
200. How long are you gonna follow
us in that ridiculous getup?
Copy !req
201. Ah, you've seen right through me, then.
Copy !req
202. It's the pipe bastard!
Copy !req
203. Why are you following us?
Copy !req
204. Well, what else? I'm hoping that you
might lead me to some new amusement.
Copy !req
205. To be honest, I'm feeling
incredibly frustrated.
Copy !req
206. I'm willing to do just about anything
to clear my head as a result.
Copy !req
207. If I don't see someone get their
painful just desserts soon,
Copy !req
208. I think I might go mad.
Copy !req
209. Man, this guy's as twisted as they come, huh?
Copy !req
210. Well, we're about to go after
Xiào Kuáng Juàn. You willing to help?
Copy !req
211. Does... he take precedence over
the other mystic sword, then?
Copy !req
212. There's no telling where the
Seven Blasphemous Deaths has gone.
Copy !req
213. Nothing we can do about it for now.
Copy !req
214. And in case you forgot, it's your damn fault
we lost track of that particular sword!
Copy !req
215. Yes, I seem to recall that was a
side effect of saving your lives.
Copy !req
216. Screw you, you dirty pipe-smoking bastard!
Copy !req
217. All right, enough already!
Copy !req
218. Look, let's just get a move on.
Copy !req
219. C-Curse you... how can a human...
a mere human...!
Copy !req
220. Demonic Intonation: Endless Blood Edge!
Copy !req
221. Unbelievable. For a man to
be able to defeat a dragon...
Copy !req
222. All of this was only possible
with your aid, my princess!
Copy !req
223. I am the only one capable of
drawing out your true strength.
Copy !req
224. For as long as you grant me the
honor of holding your hilt,
Copy !req
225. Lóu Zhèn Jiè is invincible!
Copy !req
226. We will scorch hell itself from the inside,
Copy !req
227. and drive the gods themselves
into extinction!
Copy !req
228. What do you say? Do you still claim to
have attachments in the world of men?
Copy !req
229. Can you truly imagine any capable
of satisfying you other than myself,
Copy !req
230. in the distant future?
Copy !req
231. No, but...
Copy !req
232. My princess, you should never feel the
grasp of the imbecilic masses again.
Copy !req
233. There is no better place to meet your final
rest than in the hand of Lóu Zhèn Jiè!
Copy !req
234. Are you willing to accept that now?
Copy !req
235. N... No!
Copy !req
236. I... I know of a greater swordsman than you!
Copy !req
237. What did you just say?
Copy !req
238. Shāng Bù Huàn!
Copy !req
239. I'm certain he is stronger than you!
Copy !req
240. Even that dragon... I know he would've
been able to slay it, even without my aid!
Copy !req
241. Shāng... Bù Huàn!
Copy !req
242. I'm sure he wanders through Dōng Li
even as we speak in pursuit of me.
Copy !req
243. Which of you is truly
more impressive, I wonder?
Copy !req
244. Until I know that, I cannot rest!
Copy !req
245. I have no desire for eternal rest
with such unfinished business!
Copy !req
246. Very well, then.
Copy !req
247. I will find this man and kill him myself.
Copy !req
248. Will you, now?
Copy !req
249. Of course.
Copy !req
250. You will understand that I am
fit to be your last wielder...
Copy !req
251. Once I prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt!
Copy !req
