Transcript
Xiào Kuáng Juàn, Làng Wū Yáo, Xiē Yīng Luò, and Shāng Bù Huàn continue their fight. Xiē Yīng Luò is wielding the Seven Blasphemous Deaths, and Shāng Bù Huàn shields his eyes against the sword's charm. The Seven Blasphemous Deaths laughs as Xiē Yīng Luò lunges to attack Shāng Bù Huàn.

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: Don't look away, Shāng Bù Huàn. Show me your face. Look at me.

Shāng Bù Huàn continues to dodge and block Xiē Yīng Luò's attacks without looking at the sword. Meanwhile, Làng Wū Yáo is defending against Xiào Kuáng Juàn who has been enspelled by the Seven Blasphemous Deaths.

Xiào Kuáng Juàn: You can't have that sword! It belongs to me! I refuse to let anyone else have it!

Xiào Kuáng Juàn leaps and flips in the air to deliver powerful strikes that Làng Wū Yáo uses Líng Yá to block. The ground underfoot splits from the impact, and Làng Wū Yáo takes several steps back.

Líng Yá: Whoa, was this desk jockey always this tough?! He's like a whole different person!

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: Falling for my charms and entering my thrall draws out one's deepest efforts. It brings a warrior's full potential to the surface.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Watch yourself, Làng! Kuáng Juàn is fighting like there's no tomorrow!

Làng Wū Yáo and Shāng Bù Huàn continue their desperate fights against their opponents. Xiē Yīng Luò manages to cut Shāng Bù Huàn's leg with the Seven Blasphemous Deaths before he leaps away.

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: You should know that looking away could get you killed.

The Seven Blasphemous Deaths draws Shāng Bù Huàn's strength from his wound and channels it into Xiē Yīng Luò.

Xiē Yīng Luò: It was just a glancing blow, but this potency...!

Shāng Bù Huàn falls to one knee

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: That taste just now took three days of life force from him. It's rather impressive that he hasn't fallen over, really.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Damn monster!

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: Surely you must want to touch me. Anyone who would call themselves a swordsman would. The sweet scent of blood... the joy of wielding the strength that steals lives... take me from this woman, and it can all be yours.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Screw you!

Shāng Bù Huàn rises to his feet only to stumble and fall back down to his knee.

Xiē Yīng Luò: With this kind of power... I can beat Shāng Bù Huàn.

Xiē Yīng Luò moves in to strike Shāng Bù Huàn.

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: No. Rushing will bring a premature end to the festivities. Finishing him now would be so dull.

Xiē Yīng Luò: But...

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: This man regrets the spilt blood of others far more than his own. That way of thinking means he should die last after being forced to see the thousands upon thousands of lives lost because of his weakness. And then, once despair has seized his heart, we will take our time making sport of him before he dies.

Xiē Yīng Luò: I see... as you wish.

Seven Blasphemous Deaths: Let us continue the celebration for now! My thirst has not yet been quenched. I won't question their quality. Make a sacrifice out of everyone within my blade's reach!

Xiē Yīng Luò: Of course.

Xiē Yīng Luò departs with the Seven Blasphemous Deaths. Seeing this, Xiào Kuáng Juàn turns from his fight with Làng Wū Yáo.

Xiào Kuáng Juàn: Wait! Stop there!

Xiào Kuáng Juàn leaps to close the distance and attack Xiē Yīng Luò, knocking her down with one blow. He continues attacking her as Làng Wū Yáo goes to Shāng Bù Huàn.

Líng Yá: This is bad! Give the man some first-aid!

Líng Yá returns to Làng Wū Yáo's back. With his hand now free, Làng Wū Yáo touches Shāng Bù Huàn's back to channel qi through him.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

With some strength restored to him, Shāng Bù Huàn manages to stand up.

Líng Yá: So, what the hell's he doing?

Làng Wū Yáo and Shāng Bù Huàn follow Líng Yá's gaze. Xiào Kuáng Juàn is mercilessly hacking at a fallen tree. A tendril of smoke trails past.

Lǐn Xuě Yā: (off-screen) I see. That was the Seven Blasphemous Deaths.

Lǐn Xuě Yā is casually smoking in a tree nearby.

Lǐn Xuě Yā: I can see why you would clamp up now.

Líng Yá: You! Enjoying the show, huh?!

Lǐn Xuě Yā: Charming all who gaze upon its blade, robbing them of their reason, forcing them into conflict, and gaining more power with each drop of blood drained. It is indeed less a sword than a creature.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Oh, you had better not be thinking of stealing that thing!

Lǐn Xuě Yā: Sadly, it falls outside my realm of expertise. My preferred prey is more along those lines.

Lǐn Xuě Yā looks at Xiào Kuáng Juàn who finally tires himself out and collapses to the ground, unconscious. Shāng Bù Huàn and Líng Yá gasp. Lǐn Xuě Yā goes over to Xiào Kuáng Juàn and kneels next to him.

Líng Yá: What are you gonna do with him?!

Lǐn Xuě Yā: I'm still toying with him at the moment. If you want a turn, I'd ask that you wait until I'm finished.

Làng Wū Yáo: I won't let you get away!

Làng Wū Yáo rushes towards Lǐn Xuě Yā, but Shāng Bù Huàn grabs Làng Wū Yáo's shoulder to stop him.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Leave him! We need to go after the Seven Blasphemous Deaths!

Líng Yá: If we don't take care of him now, the Hunting Fox is gonna be on our backs again!

Lǐn Xuě Yā props Xiào Kuáng Juàn up.

Shāng Bù Huàn: And if you do that, you'll be making an enemy of Lǐn Xuě Yā! That's just going to make things worse!

Làng Wū Yáo turns away from Shāng Bù Huàn. Lǐn Xuě Yā has lifted Xiào Kuáng Juàn onto his back.

Lǐn Xuě Yā: There you have it. Now, if you'll excuse me...

Lǐn Xuě Yā meteor walks away with Xiào Kuáng Juàn.

Làng Wū Yáo: How are you going to manage this if you intend to be so soft?

Shāng Bù Huàn: What?

Làng Wū Yáo:I'm asking if you can actually fight against Seven Blasphemous Deaths!

Làng Wū Yáo smacks Shāng Bù Huàn's hand off of his shoulder, suprising Shāng Bù Huàn. After a tense moment, Làng Wū Yáo walks away.

Shāng Bù Huàn: Hey, where are you going?!

Líng Yá: Seems to me that everybody needs to cool off! Let's split up for now! Think of it as covering more ground in the search for the Princess of Cruelty!

Shāng Bù Huàn: Fine...

Shāng Bù Huàn watches the two of them leave and sighs.

Later, Lǐn Xuě Yā brings Xiào Kuáng Juàn safely back to his room at the Dong Li government office.
