1
00:02:00,363 --> 00:02:02,363
Fight for yourself for once.

2
00:02:02,363 --> 00:02:03,676
No death, no rest.

3
00:02:04,539 --> 00:02:05,826
Are you willing?

4
00:02:07,807 --> 00:02:11,783
There are swords that don’t kill people.

5
00:02:12,849 --> 00:02:18,250
You will not escape from the impenetrable Net Trap!

6
00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:28,520
You may be gone, but your sword mustn’t be.

7
00:02:31,306 --> 00:02:37,147
Episode 3: Burning Words

9
00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:23,304
What great weather for killing and gaining achievements.

10
00:03:40,012 --> 00:03:42,012
You also work for Net Trap and the Empire.

11
00:03:42,012 --> 00:03:44,012
Then how are you any different than Tian Mi?

12
00:03:44,839 --> 00:03:46,839
The Empire aims to destroy the Peasant School.

13
00:03:46,839 --> 00:03:48,400
You’re their accomplice,

14
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400
yet you brazenly call yourself the Xia Kui.

15
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:54,000
Have you never worked for Net Trap, Uncle Shengqi?

16
00:03:55,229 --> 00:03:58,931
Uncle Wu Kuang, you were ordered to work undercover for Net Trap too.

17
00:03:58,931 --> 00:04:00,931
You even heavily wounded a Xia Kui.

18
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,365
But now you’ve been accepted back into the Peasant School.

19
00:04:03,365 --> 00:04:05,310
How do you plan on defending yourselves?

20
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:07,310
Aren’t you the same as Tian Mi?

21
00:04:07,991 --> 00:04:10,261
Ah Yan, I will only ask you one question.

22
00:04:10,261 --> 00:04:12,974
Did you kill my big brother, Tian Meng?

23
00:04:14,251 --> 00:04:17,596
Second Uncle, he was my father.

24
00:04:17,837 --> 00:04:20,002
How could you possibly suspect me?

25
00:04:20,002 --> 00:04:22,665
My big brother died quickly and uncannily,

26
00:04:22,665 --> 00:04:24,665
and you were working for Net Trap.

27
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:26,911
I...I have to suspect you.

28
00:04:27,445 --> 00:04:30,680
How do you explain the sword that you’re holding?

29
00:04:31,346 --> 00:04:34,499
Your sword was the murder weapon that killed Tian Meng.

30
00:04:34,881 --> 00:04:37,676
This sword belonged to my mother,

31
00:04:37,962 --> 00:04:39,962
as did the clothes that I’m wearing.

32
00:04:40,191 --> 00:04:42,411
Ah Yan, that—that is...

33
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:44,790
Your mother worked for Net Trap too?

34
00:04:47,069 --> 00:04:49,837
My mother was the former Jing Ni.

35
00:04:51,011 --> 00:04:54,849
But after overcoming many hardships, she escaped from Net Trap.

36
00:04:55,575 --> 00:04:57,959
That’s all in the past.

37
00:04:58,304 --> 00:05:00,304
Let’s let bygones be bygones.

38
00:05:00,304 --> 00:05:03,864
You...You’ve completely lost me.

39
00:05:04,087 --> 00:05:05,483
Second Uncle,

40
00:05:05,483 --> 00:05:08,718
I’ll tell you all about the past in detail some other time.

41
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,827
In any case, you must understand that we’re family.

42
00:05:13,998 --> 00:05:16,355
Of course we are.

43
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,299
Everything that has happened here

44
00:05:19,299 --> 00:05:21,519
is an internal matter of the Peasant School.

45
00:05:22,195 --> 00:05:24,854
With the support of the Six Halls, I’m now the new Xia Kui.

46
00:05:26,033 --> 00:05:28,033
As the new Xia Kui,

47
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:31,568
I ask that our two friends from Ghost Valley stop meddling.

48
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,840
You caused so much trouble,

49
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:36,717
yet you want to stop others from cleaning up
your mess by calling it an internal matter?

50
00:05:36,718 --> 00:05:37,620
Wei Zhuang,

51
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:39,620
this is unquestionably an internal matter of the Peasant School.

52
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:41,346
We’ll take care of it amongst ourselves.

53
00:05:41,346 --> 00:05:43,181
If you could take care of it,

54
00:05:43,181 --> 00:05:45,346
would you have been fighting each other so desperately?

55
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:46,806
Even though we were fighting each other,

56
00:05:46,806 --> 00:05:48,669
it’s still an internal matter of the Peasant School.

57
00:05:48,669 --> 00:05:49,865
Before the sacred statue of Shennong,

58
00:05:49,865 --> 00:05:51,536
your presumptuousness won’t be tolerated.

59
00:05:52,157 --> 00:05:54,733
I’m not interested in your nonsense,

60
00:05:55,036 --> 00:05:59,067
but I will kill every member of Net Trap that enters my sight.

61
00:06:50,503 --> 00:06:52,282
The intelligence you gathered is correct.

62
00:06:52,283 --> 00:06:53,487
Naturally.

63
00:06:53,623 --> 00:06:56,144
Wang Li’s troops are almost fully deployed.

64
00:06:56,966 --> 00:06:58,966
They’ve completely surrounded Great Ze Mountain,

65
00:06:58,966 --> 00:07:04,489
and set up the powerful ballistae that the Gongshu family
provided in advantageous positions.

66
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:08,988
Wang Li has named them the Hundred War Mystic Ballistae.

67
00:07:09,715 --> 00:07:11,715
How powerful are they?

68
00:07:12,226 --> 00:07:14,226
They are giant mother-and-child ballistae.

69
00:07:14,226 --> 00:07:16,226
After every independent mother arrow is shot,

70
00:07:16,226 --> 00:07:19,516
due to the intricately designed mechanism within,

71
00:07:19,516 --> 00:07:23,080
it will split up into around twenty child arrows in midair.

72
00:07:23,848 --> 00:07:28,428
All the child arrows are full of sulfur, oil and fuses.

73
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:33,602
When they hit a target, the collision will cause them to explode,
dousing the surrounding area in flames.

74
00:07:34,410 --> 00:07:39,895
The timing of the splitting and detonation can be controlled by the machinery.

75
00:07:41,058 --> 00:07:45,062
Every two arrows can cover about one mu (667 square meters).

76
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:47,731
They're alarmingly lethal.

77
00:07:47,731 --> 00:07:50,579
How many of these ballistae did you say Wang Li deployed here?

78
00:07:51,653 --> 00:07:53,324
Two hundred.

79
00:07:54,691 --> 00:07:58,063
Qin’s forces are the best at using powerful long-range weaponry.

80
00:07:58,545 --> 00:08:02,658
They always initiate attacks with a combination
of ballistae, longbows and crossbows,

81
00:08:02,658 --> 00:08:06,000
which allows them to intimidate and kill their enemies from a great distance.

82
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,701
After that, their cavalry will charge with the support of their infantry.

83
00:08:09,701 --> 00:08:13,951
Two hundred Hundred War Mystic Ballistae are
nearly enough to cover the entirety of Great Ze Mountain.

84
00:08:13,951 --> 00:08:17,872
It seems that Wang Li aims to annihilate the
Peasant School without leaving a single survivor.

85
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:21,359
In the Empire, one can only be promoted with military achievements.

86
00:08:21,359 --> 00:08:23,853
There haven’t been many battles since the Seven States were united,

87
00:08:23,853 --> 00:08:26,292
so the generals of the Empire can’t climb the ranks.

88
00:08:26,497 --> 00:08:28,797
The 100,000 severed heads of the Peasant School

89
00:08:29,171 --> 00:08:33,409
will be the most brilliant feather in Wang Li’s cap,
allowing him to show off his feat.

90
00:08:33,655 --> 00:08:36,477
There’s no way he will let go of this fat piece of meat.

91
00:08:38,602 --> 00:08:42,934
The power and quantity of Wang Li’s new weapons

92
00:08:42,934 --> 00:08:45,621
are supposed to be highly-classified military secrets.

93
00:08:46,032 --> 00:08:48,252
How is your information so detailed?

94
00:08:49,438 --> 00:08:50,971
Is that important?

95
00:08:50,971 --> 00:08:52,203
Of course it is.

96
00:08:52,203 --> 00:08:55,300
The accuracy of my intelligence is more important, isn’t it?

97
00:08:56,123 --> 00:09:00,565
The accuracy of intelligence depends on
the trustworthiness of the person who provides it.

98
00:09:02,331 --> 00:09:07,624
An informant needs to protect the source
of his intelligence above everything else.

99
00:09:07,624 --> 00:09:13,054
You’re not planning to kick the chef away
after you finish the meal, are you?

100
00:09:17,221 --> 00:09:19,084
Why are you helping us?

101
00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:22,778
On the contrary,

102
00:09:22,778 --> 00:09:26,438
I’m not helping you; I need you to help me.

103
00:09:26,755 --> 00:09:28,179
What do you mean?

104
00:09:50,503 --> 00:09:53,024
I already killed a few fake Jing Nis.

105
00:09:53,631 --> 00:09:57,524
Now that the real Jing Ni is here, how can I let you go?

106
00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:03,705
Sanniang!

107
00:10:06,950 --> 00:10:08,073
You villain,

108
00:10:08,073 --> 00:10:09,442
don’t hurt Aunt Mei!

109
00:10:09,663 --> 00:10:11,169
Ah Ci, stay back.

110
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,533
Aunt Mei is bleeding.

111
00:10:13,533 --> 00:10:14,902
He’s a bad man!

112
00:10:15,091 --> 00:10:16,432
Mr. Wei Zhuang,

113
00:10:16,433 --> 00:10:20,711
I don’t know why the Eldest Miss did this, but this is our business.

114
00:10:20,978 --> 00:10:24,569
If you must intervene, you’ll have to kill me first!

115
00:10:25,126 --> 00:10:26,989
I’ll kill anyone who stands in my way.

116
00:10:27,156 --> 00:10:29,458
Mr. Wei Zhuang, your aggression should be directed at me.

117
00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:31,458
I am the Xia Kui of the Peasant School, not her.

118
00:10:31,736 --> 00:10:32,968
Very well.

119
00:10:33,354 --> 00:10:36,781
I was afraid that you would be too scared to step up.

120
00:10:37,448 --> 00:10:38,350
Sanniang,

121
00:10:38,350 --> 00:10:39,993
thank you for your devotion.

122
00:10:39,993 --> 00:10:40,923
Step aside.

123
00:10:41,053 --> 00:10:43,053
Let me deal with Quicksand’s leader.

124
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:45,190
Eldest Miss, don’t do this.

125
00:10:49,694 --> 00:10:52,188
You’ve been wounded many times in the past two years.

126
00:10:52,188 --> 00:10:54,324
You were hurt by the internal force of a member of the Mohist School

127
00:10:54,325 --> 00:10:56,325
and the physical attacks of someone from the Peasant School.

128
00:10:56,925 --> 00:11:00,790
I assume the latter came from Uncle Shengqi’s sword, Great Destroyer.

129
00:11:01,219 --> 00:11:03,466
As for the person who caused the internal injuries,

130
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:07,085
by my estimation, it could only have been the Leader of the Mohist School.

131
00:11:08,156 --> 00:11:10,156
You also have a deep wound on your shoulder.

132
00:11:10,743 --> 00:11:14,335
It consists of both internal and external injuries,
and was caused by a sharp weapon.

133
00:11:14,712 --> 00:11:17,528
The power used in the attack is that of the Vertical and Horizontal.

134
00:11:17,528 --> 00:11:21,175
Did you and Mr. Ge Nie have a friendly scrimmage
as disciples of Ghost Valley?

135
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:23,833
But you certainly didn’t hold yourselves back.

136
00:11:24,848 --> 00:11:29,592
“The Art of Observation”, Tian Yan’s ultimate skill,
is indeed worthy of its fame.

137
00:11:30,144 --> 00:11:34,038
It seems that you became the Xia Kui because of your silver tongue.

138
00:11:34,327 --> 00:11:40,031
What you don’t seem to realize is that
only a sword can decide who lives and who dies.

139
00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:42,273
Launch your attack.

140
00:11:42,455 --> 00:11:44,455
I’ve already predicted your first move...

141
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,840
...which will come from my left side!

142
00:11:51,965 --> 00:11:53,059
Sanniang, back off.

143
00:11:53,059 --> 00:11:54,153
I’ll deal with him.

144
00:11:58,291 --> 00:12:00,675
Nobody move.

145
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:04,620
It seems that I don’t have to kill any more impostors.

146
00:12:04,681 --> 00:12:06,681
I can see the aura flowing inside you

147
00:12:07,055 --> 00:12:08,863
and use it to predict your attack.

148
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:18,920
You were wounded. Gravely so.

149
00:12:19,203 --> 00:12:20,901
It can’t escape my eyes.

150
00:12:23,089 --> 00:12:24,376
My right side?

151
00:12:53,465 --> 00:12:55,163
Aren’t you a great guesser?

152
00:13:09,916 --> 00:13:12,492
You think you won’t die just because you can guess correctly?

153
00:13:21,658 --> 00:13:23,521
I’m a disciple of the Peasant School.

154
00:13:23,521 --> 00:13:26,399
Wang Li is planning to massacre my comrades in the Peasant School.

155
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:27,823
I have to stop him.

156
00:13:27,991 --> 00:13:29,497
Which hall are you from?

157
00:13:29,651 --> 00:13:32,584
Who’s your leader? Why have I never seen you before?

158
00:13:33,890 --> 00:13:35,369
Gonggong Hall.

159
00:13:35,550 --> 00:13:37,221
I’m sort of an entry-level disciple.

160
00:13:37,857 --> 00:13:39,857
I haven’t been in the Peasant School for long.

161
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
If you’re new to the Peasant School,

162
00:13:44,353 --> 00:13:47,834
why did you not run away when this catastrophe was drawing near?

163
00:13:48,468 --> 00:13:50,468
You seem more loyal than you should be.

164
00:13:51,306 --> 00:13:54,239
Running away was indeed an option.

165
00:13:54,309 --> 00:13:56,309
I often ran from threatening situations.

166
00:13:57,021 --> 00:14:00,750
However, I’m tired of running now.

167
00:14:01,436 --> 00:14:03,024
I don’t want to run anymore.

168
00:14:03,347 --> 00:14:05,018
You don’t want to run anymore?

169
00:14:05,539 --> 00:14:07,265
That’s your only reason?

170
00:14:07,685 --> 00:14:10,179
No, it certainly isn’t.

171
00:14:10,997 --> 00:14:12,997
It’s also because I saw the four of you.

172
00:14:13,482 --> 00:14:14,769
What do you mean?

173
00:14:15,252 --> 00:14:17,252
Did you set up a trap on purpose?

174
00:14:17,487 --> 00:14:19,899
Did you lure us here?

175
00:14:20,423 --> 00:14:24,000
Have you ever seen anyone so upfront while luring others?

176
00:14:27,017 --> 00:14:28,331
Just get to your point.

177
00:14:28,705 --> 00:14:30,540
Saving the Peasant School,

178
00:14:30,541 --> 00:14:35,560
or rather, saving 100,000 lives, isn’t something I can do on my own.

179
00:14:35,828 --> 00:14:39,255
But you’re all battle-hardened generals.

180
00:14:39,684 --> 00:14:42,945
If I can get your help, there will be a slim chance of survival.

181
00:14:43,945 --> 00:14:45,039
Why?

182
00:14:46,689 --> 00:14:50,060
The Six Halls of the Peasant School are completely divided.

183
00:14:50,338 --> 00:14:53,765
The Peasant School is known to be the largest school with over 100,000 members,

184
00:14:53,765 --> 00:14:55,536
but it doesn't have a leader.

185
00:14:56,542 --> 00:14:58,240
The four of you, on the other hand,

186
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,490
are all capable of commanding troops,
but you don’t have anyone to command.

187
00:15:02,950 --> 00:15:04,950
They’re soldiers who need a commander,

188
00:15:06,458 --> 00:15:08,458
and you’re commanders who need soldiers.

189
00:15:09,458 --> 00:15:13,050
Wouldn’t you and they make a perfect combination?

190
00:15:18,224 --> 00:15:21,130
As the largest of the Hundred Schools of Thought,

191
00:15:21,536 --> 00:15:24,496
the Peasant School will not take orders from outsiders.

192
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,993
Does conspiring with Net Trap not count as taking orders from outsiders?

193
00:15:28,993 --> 00:15:30,883
There’s never been any conspiracy.

194
00:15:30,883 --> 00:15:36,000
The Peasant School makes its own decisions
on who it will cooperate with or declare war on,

195
00:15:36,715 --> 00:15:40,718
regardless of whether they’re from the Empire or with the rebels.

196
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:45,441
You disregarded the Xia Kui’s vision for the Peasant School
when you sided with the Empire.

197
00:15:45,762 --> 00:15:47,762
I respect the former Xia Kui very much,

198
00:15:48,271 --> 00:15:49,997
but when he was in power,

199
00:15:49,997 --> 00:15:55,152
he never actually commanded the 100,000 disciples of the
Peasant School to rise up against the Empire.

200
00:15:56,883 --> 00:15:59,569
Although the Peasant School never rebelled,

201
00:15:59,569 --> 00:16:03,188
the Empire’s troops are moving to eliminate
the Peasant School as we speak!

202
00:16:04,728 --> 00:16:07,565
The Peasant School confronting the army of the Empire alone...

203
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,566
If the former Xia Kui were here,

204
00:16:09,566 --> 00:16:12,000
would he have watched the Peasant School fall without doing anything?

205
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:14,784
You have no right to speak on his behalf!

206
00:16:14,784 --> 00:16:17,113
Even so, it’s not a traitor’s place to speak on his behalf either!

207
00:16:18,718 --> 00:16:24,000
I’m only speaking for myself, as the current Xia Kui.

208
00:16:24,308 --> 00:16:26,079
In order to become the Xia Kui,

209
00:16:26,079 --> 00:16:29,890
every candidate has to be approved by the elders at the Tomb of the Six Sages!

210
00:16:30,127 --> 00:16:33,580
Uncle Shengqi, the only reason you can still talk

211
00:16:33,581 --> 00:16:35,581
is that you’ve already been to the Tomb of the Six Sages

212
00:16:35,581 --> 00:16:37,773
and restored your identity as a disciple of the Peasant School.

213
00:16:38,028 --> 00:16:41,482
This is our internal affair, so I’ll give you an explanation.

214
00:16:45,066 --> 00:16:47,423
Due to the disagreement on which path we should take,

215
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:51,399
the Peasant School has been divided, constantly brutalizing each other.

216
00:16:51,685 --> 00:16:55,770
As the Xia Kui, I must put an end to this tragedy immediately.

217
00:16:57,506 --> 00:17:02,031
At this time, Uncle Shengqi, if you still consider
yourself a disciple of the Peasant School,

218
00:17:02,334 --> 00:17:07,326
then please focus on our common enemies
and don’t let these outsiders boss the Peasant School around.

219
00:17:10,915 --> 00:17:13,767
Now, I ask that you leave Great Ze Mountain.

220
00:17:14,539 --> 00:17:16,539
Ghost Valley is an admirable sect.

221
00:17:16,913 --> 00:17:18,913
I promise you safe passage out of here.

222
00:17:20,097 --> 00:17:22,728
What if we refuse?

223
00:17:22,948 --> 00:17:26,649
Then you will be choosing to challenge the entirety of the Peasant School.

224
00:17:27,997 --> 00:17:29,997
You think you have an advantage in numbers?

225
00:17:30,122 --> 00:17:33,675
Do you really have the respect and trust of your 100,000 disciples?

226
00:17:33,675 --> 00:17:39,654
If I kill you right now, how many of them
do you think will risk their lives to avenge you?

227
00:17:39,994 --> 00:17:41,994
I won’t let you hurt my sister!

228
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,113
If we’re talking about a clash of swords,

229
00:17:48,113 --> 00:17:50,827
I’m willing to accept a duel from either of you.

230
00:17:51,302 --> 00:17:55,168
Alternatively, you’re free to attack me together.
