1. If you're that serious about this, Wàn Jūn Pò...
Copy !req
2. Fair enough.
Copy !req
3. I'm through holding back!
Copy !req
4. You insist on being stubborn
about this, Shāng Bú Huàn?
Copy !req
5. Yeah, I do!
Copy !req
6. If we both think we're doing what's right...
Copy !req
7. Then all that's left is to
see who's more stubborn!
Copy !req
8. Your resistance is pointless.
Copy !req
9. Inside of this field I have crafted,
Copy !req
10. the Order of the Divine Swarm's adherents
Copy !req
11. possess gifts that make them unstoppable.
Copy !req
12. Your loss was set in stone the
moment you stepped in here,
Copy !req
13. Sword-Plundering Nemesis!
Copy !req
14. Shāng... you can't...
Copy !req
15. This doesn't make any sense!
Copy !req
16. We were just walking through some of
the palace's hidden tunnels, right?
Copy !req
17. How did they lead to some
freaky evil chamber?
Copy !req
18. Calm yourself for a moment...
Copy !req
19. And focus on the sensation you
can feel beneath your feet.
Copy !req
20. Uh...
Copy !req
21. Well? What are you standing on?
Copy !req
22. Soft dirt.
Copy !req
23. And there's grass...
Copy !req
24. Exactly! I believe our eyes
cannot be trusted in this place.
Copy !req
25. There is an illusion in place, deceiving us.
Copy !req
26. Likely to convince us there's no escape.
Copy !req
27. Aren't illusions your whole
deal? Can't you do something?
Copy !req
28. There should be some object that acts
as the keystone of the illusion,
Copy !req
29. but if I attempt to look for it...
Copy !req
30. Plus, Sir Shāng has gotten a bit careless.
Copy !req
31. A drawn-out fight when the enemy has
the advantage is simply a bad idea.
Copy !req
32. You refuse to surrender the
Sorcerous Sword Index, Bú Huàn?
Copy !req
33. What gives you the right?
Copy !req
34. It's because misguided fools like you
keep crawling out of the woodwork!
Copy !req
35. I can't let any of them take these swords!
Copy !req
36. Where are you,
Copy !req
37. my princess?
Copy !req
38. That's... Shāng Bú Huàn!
Copy !req
39. You refuse to surrender the
Sorcerous Sword Index, Bú Huàn?
Copy !req
40. What gives you the right?
Copy !req
41. It's because misguided fools like you
keep crawling out of the woodwork!
Copy !req
42. I can't let any of them take these swords!
Copy !req
43. That wretch... His impertinence
hasn't changed!
Copy !req
44. Could he have already stolen
away with my princess?
Copy !req
45. He must have... that would explain why
I can't find her, despite my search!
Copy !req
46. Damn him!
Copy !req
47. Who was that just now?
Copy !req
48. Shāng Bú Huàn!
Copy !req
49. Lóu Zhèn Jiè?
Copy !req
50. Who's this?
Copy !req
51. Relinquish my princess!
Copy !req
52. I know you're hiding her!
Copy !req
53. Then he really was alive.
Copy !req
54. But where could that arm have come from?
Copy !req
55. I dunno what happened, but the guy has a
knack for getting his hands on weird crap.
Copy !req
56. Aw, man...
Copy !req
57. This is the guy who fell off a cliff?
Copy !req
58. He doesn't seem any worse for it!
Copy !req
59. That was the power of the scrying mirrors.
Copy !req
60. Was there another intruder
in the Void Junction?
Copy !req
61. Halt!
Copy !req
62. If you have some vendetta against
Shāng Bú Huàn, why would you interfere?
Copy !req
63. Because I couldn't care less!
Copy !req
64. I yield to no one... I side with no one!
Copy !req
65. Excluding my beloved, who I have sworn
my all to, I will abide no other!
Copy !req
66. You must be after the
Sorcerous Sword Index, too!
Copy !req
67. Stand aside, peon!
Copy !req
68. There will be no mercy for anyone who
stands between my princess and me!
Copy !req
69. What the hell is it doing? That can't
be any ordinary machine, right?
Copy !req
70. It's collecting magical power
from the surroundings.
Copy !req
71. That prosthetic must have been crafted
with the aid of heretical arts.
Copy !req
72. Demon's Breath...
Copy !req
73. Prison Inferno Vortex!
Copy !req
74. No!
Copy !req
75. Oh, no!
Copy !req
76. Damn you!
Copy !req
77. I guess that explains what was
holding the illusion together.
Copy !req
78. Nice! This is our chance!
Copy !req
79. You asked for your sword back, right?
Copy !req
80. I guess that means you don't have it anymore.
Copy !req
81. Do not play coy!
Copy !req
82. I know you took her!
Copy !req
83. Nope, but that means we're done here!
Copy !req
84. All right. I'll leave you to it, then.
Copy !req
85. You will not stop me!
Copy !req
86. Blast it!
Copy !req
87. What are you doing?
Copy !req
88. Your duty is still to inform us of
affairs of the Phoenix Light Palace.
Copy !req
89. We can't have your identity
being discovered like this.
Copy !req
90. But...
Copy !req
91. Is someone there?
Copy !req
92. I don't see anyone.
Copy !req
93. Yeah, there's... no one.
Copy !req
94. Well, it seems we've been
spared further trouble.
Copy !req
95. What is the meaning of this?
Copy !req
96. Well, what can I say?
Copy !req
97. What kind of man would I be
to not aid those in need?
Copy !req
98. A small act of kindness, inspired by the
general's display of love for his homeland.
Copy !req
99. What?
Copy !req
100. Hey, where'd Smokey go?
Did he get lost or something?
Copy !req
101. Whatever he's doing,
it's bound to be bad news.
Copy !req
102. So let's leave him to it.
Copy !req
103. Doesn't leaving him to his own devices
make you worry? Just... not about him.
Copy !req
104. Right now, this guy's the
one I'm worried about.
Copy !req
105. We were finally able to see to his wounds...
Copy !req
106. But he was hurt worse than I figured.
Copy !req
107. Yeah, it's one thing to get
hurt in the middle of battle,
Copy !req
108. when you're braced for anything,
Copy !req
109. but to get stuck when you're off guard,
and your breathing's disrupted...
Copy !req
110. You can have the hardest
body anyone could build,
Copy !req
111. but if you're not prepared when a blade
comes at you, you may as well be tofu.
Copy !req
112. What a mess... How'd it turn out like this?
Copy !req
113. Look, I don't know all the details...
Copy !req
114. But depending on the situation,
Copy !req
115. women can be scarier than the
nastiest monsters you'll ever meet!
Copy !req
116. I've restored a little bit
of his ability to heal.
Copy !req
117. He should be fine with plenty of rest,
Copy !req
118. except we can't exactly afford to wait
around here for him to get better.
Copy !req
119. Makes sense.
Copy !req
120. I don't think we can hide
from that guy for too long.
Copy !req
121. What is his problem, anyway?
Copy !req
122. Yeah...
Copy !req
123. Seems like he actually did
lose Seven Blasphemous Deaths.
Copy !req
124. Which is a whole other problem,
but right now, not a priority.
Copy !req
125. First thing we need to do
is figure a way out of this.
Copy !req
126. Okay... I'm going to lure him away.
Copy !req
127. You sure about that?
Copy !req
128. If we're just playing keep-away,
it should be fine.
Copy !req
129. The main thing is that we can't do much else
unless we get Lóu Zhèn Jiè out of here.
Copy !req
130. While I'm gone, Líng Yá...
Copy !req
131. Yeah?
Copy !req
132. Show Cán Yún the way to the Odd Shop.
Copy !req
133. Oh, I get it!
Copy !req
134. You want Tiān Gōng Guǐ Jiàng's help, huh?
Copy !req
135. You know a doctor or something?
Copy !req
136. Not exactly, but he's a bigger help than
most doctors you could run into, anyway.
Copy !req
137. He made the Sorcerous
Sword Index, after all.
Copy !req
138. But... is it a good idea
to leave Wū Yáo here?
Copy !req
139. Injuries like this aren't the kind
of thing a vigil will help with.
Copy !req
140. What he needs is proper treatment,
and the sooner, the better.
Copy !req
141. All right, if you need directions,
I'm your instrument!
Copy !req
142. If I'm with you, Tiān Gōng
Guǐ Jiàng will understand.
Copy !req
143. But... are you sure that's
all you want us to do? Huh?
Copy !req
144. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Not right now.
Copy !req
145. Hey, if that's how you feel...
Copy !req
146. Uh, am I missing something here?
Copy !req
147. Take care of it.
Copy !req
148. Hey!
Copy !req
149. There you are!
Copy !req
150. Seriously, is there something
else I should know?
Copy !req
151. None of your business, kiddo.
Copy !req
152. But you had better brace yourself!
Copy !req
153. The Odd Shop's far enough that even
if your qinggong's going non-stop,
Copy !req
154. it's gonna take a full day
and night to get there.
Copy !req
155. That's brutal!
Copy !req
156. Old Shāng seems to have
a lot of faith in you,
Copy !req
157. but have you been training that
lower body like you ought to, Patch?
Copy !req
158. Hey, who do you think I am?
Copy !req
159. I might not look it, but I'm an
heir to the Hù Yìn Shī!
Copy !req
160. I mean, I married into it, but still.
Copy !req
161. Well, then, it's time to
show me what you've got!
Copy !req
162. First we're headed northwest!
Copy !req
163. Hoof it until we reach a river!
Copy !req
164. Aw, man...
Copy !req
165. I hope you don't think we're in your
debt after that little trick, do you?
Copy !req
166. Oh, of course not.
Copy !req
167. I realize it was a bit presumptuous,
Copy !req
168. but the humble Guǐ Niǎo only wished to
demonstrate his usefulness to you gentlemen.
Copy !req
169. No more than that.
Copy !req
170. Guǐ Niǎo?
Copy !req
171. I don't believe that's what
Lady Xíng Hài called you.
Copy !req
172. If I may...
Copy !req
173. It's dangerous to simply take a demon's
words for what they seem to imply.
Copy !req
174. It's true, I am not native to Xī Yōu,
Copy !req
175. but I am a man of the same flesh and blood,
Copy !req
176. who is inspired at the sight
of righteousness all the same.
Copy !req
177. Even then, you and Shāng Bú Huàn
Copy !req
178. looked like allies who have
survived real danger together.
Copy !req
179. Wouldn't siding with us amount
to betraying your comrade?
Copy !req
180. To that end, General Wàn, have you
yourself not been friends with Sir Shāng?
Copy !req
181. I believe that it ultimately boils
down to what the man said himself...
Copy !req
182. A question of whose righteousness
makes more sense.
Copy !req
183. It's true that Shāng Bú Huàn and
I have traveled through much together,
Copy !req
184. thanks to an odd twist of fate,
Copy !req
185. but I have always had my concerns about
the Sorcerous Sword Index he carries.
Copy !req
186. Especially given how Sir Shāng
seemed to not be mindful
Copy !req
187. of the unparalleled danger
it posed to Dōng Li.
Copy !req
188. He means no harm, but he definitely has a
tendency to focus on the immediate future
Copy !req
189. without any concern for the bigger picture.
Copy !req
190. One might describe him as someone
a bit too unstable to be
Copy !req
191. in possession of such massive power.
Copy !req
192. That was the impression that
led me to remain at his side,
Copy !req
193. helping him in whatever way I could.
Copy !req
194. But after coming to Xī Yōu,
Copy !req
195. and hearing what General Wàn had to say,
my suspicions were confirmed.
Copy !req
196. The Sorcerous Sword Index should not
be in the hands of Shāng Bú Huàn,
Copy !req
197. but someone who would be more appropriate.
Copy !req
198. Exactly.
Copy !req
199. I have much to learn still about the
honorable Huò Shì Míng Huáng...
Copy !req
200. But if someone like you serves
him willingly, General Wàn,
Copy !req
201. I imagine he must be trustworthy.
Copy !req
202. Then what? You would seek to join
the Order of the Divine Swarm?
Copy !req
203. A foreigner such as myself couldn't
dare to expect such honors.
Copy !req
204. As it currently stands,
Copy !req
205. I only wish to do what I believe
is right and adhere to those beliefs,
Copy !req
206. as any person ought to.
Copy !req
207. What's your take on him, Sir Jūn Pò?
Copy !req
208. Sir Guǐ Niǎo of Dōng Li...
Copy !req
209. For the trouble that Shāng Bú Huàn,
brought upon your country...
Copy !req
210. As another native of Xī Yōu,
I would like to apologize.
Copy !req
211. Please, raise your head, General Wàn.
Copy !req
212. I would never judge all of Xī Yōu for
the actions of Shāng Bú Huàn alone.
Copy !req
213. I don't think we can get much
further following their footsteps.
Copy !req
214. Good grief! The Princess of Cruelty
was more suited to this kind of thing!
Copy !req
215. There's no need to rush at this point.
Copy !req
216. We can simply wait for our next opportunity.
Copy !req
217. That'll allow us to prepare
a more effective plan,
Copy !req
218. so that we can make sure to trap them.
Copy !req
219. Isn't that why you waited until
Shāng Bú Huàn's group was gone
Copy !req
220. to tell us of your
intentions, Sir Guǐ Niǎo?
Copy !req
221. It's no wonder you're
such a decorated veteran.
Copy !req
222. You have an intrinsic
understanding of strategy.
Copy !req
223. Was there another trespasser
in the Void Junction
Copy !req
224. besides Shāng Bú Huàn and the Enigmatic Gale?
Copy !req
225. What in the world is happening
in these Demon Spine Mountains?
Copy !req
226. There's something else still here.
Copy !req
227. But...
Copy !req
228. It doesn't feel human.
Copy !req
229. It feels more like a demon.
Copy !req
230. This sword!
Copy !req
231. A living demon's soul has
been sealed inside of it!
Copy !req
232. Damn them! Who would dare
commit such an outrage?
Copy !req
233. And... this presence.
Copy !req
234. It feels familiar.
Copy !req
235. It reminds me of my sisters.
Copy !req
236. Could it be...
Copy !req
237. Who is there?
Copy !req
238. Is that you, Zhèn Jiè?
Copy !req
239. I was right!
Copy !req
240. That was rough.
Copy !req
241. Good job!
Copy !req
242. Man, you held tough!
Copy !req
243. And we're almost to
Tiān Gōng Guǐ Jiàng's hideout.
Copy !req
244. That's some beautiful music!
Copy !req
245. So, look...
Copy !req
246. I'm gonna pipe down for a while, now.
Copy !req
247. Do not mention who sent you, okay?
Copy !req
248. Just present me, mention someone
is injured, and that should do it.
Copy !req
249. Keep your trap shut about anything else,
got it? You follow me?
Copy !req
250. Wait, what's this all about?
Copy !req
251. Quit messing around!
Copy !req
252. And who might you be?
Copy !req
253. Venomous fangs masked by rouged lips...
Copy !req
254. Alabaster skin that decides
the fate of a nation...
Copy !req
255. A smile that could topple a fortress,
Copy !req
256. and a sideways glance that
could send heads flying.
Copy !req
