Swords of Legends: Heart of the Sword (古剑奇谭之琴心剑魄)

[the immortal Prince Changqin befriended a water serpent from Mount Yao.]

[The serpent cultivated itself into a dragon, ]

[triggering a great disaster at Mount Buzhou.]

[Prince Changqin was ordered to slay the dragon, ]

[Thus, he was punished—struck by five heavenly thunders, stripped of his immortal status, ]

[and destined to live each life in solitude, ]

[On his way to reincarnation, Prince Changqin lingered at Mount Yao.]

[Craftsmen of the Longyuan tribe seized his fate-soul]

[with a blood-sealing formation to forge a sword.]

[with the grudge of the three realms and forged into a devastating sword—]

[Fearing the sword would bring chaos to the mortal world, ]

[Nüwa sealed Fenji within the Wumeng Spirit Valley.]

- - Mother.

Yunxi!

Yunxi,

I failed to protect you.

I had to inject the sword soul into your body.

Guarding Fenji and protecting all living beings

will be your lifelong mission.

Mother!

Mother!

Yunxi!

Mother!

Yunxi...

I came too late.

From now on,

you shall be called Baili Tusu.

Master.

The evil aura within Tusu is connected to Fenji.

His and Fenji's fates are intertwined

with the safety of all under heaven.

Yes, I will protect it with my life.

Mother!

Tusu, you mustn't be consumed by the evil aura.

Fenji is about to awaken.

Since the people of Wumeng Spirit Valley were slaughtered,

Fenji has been sealed in Tianyong City.

Now the evil aura is rising again.

We must retrieve and reseal it as soon as possible.

As you are the Spirit Maiden,

only your Nüwa spiritual power can suppress the evil aura.

Qingxue,

go deal with it.

I...

Yes, Grandma.

The mortal realm is far more dangerous than Youdu.

Do not let curiosity lead you astray

and neglect your mission.

Grandma, don't worry.

I'll finish the task quickly

and return to Youdu to be with you.

Good.

As the Spirit Maiden, only Qingxue's

Nüwa power can suppress the evil aura.

Ever since Fenji emerged ten years ago,

I've known this was her destiny.

I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

Senior, if it weren't to suppress the evil aura in my body,

Master wouldn't have been injured and gone into seclusion.

If Sect Leader wants to kill me, I'm willing to be punished.

Master risked his life to protect you, yet you're seeking death?

When our master emerges, how heartbroken will he be?

Tusu, leave here immediately.

Demonic aura…

Please, please let me go.

I'm sickly, and my spirit is weak.

Please take someone else, I beg you!

Please!

Damn it, this is the third person today.

How many more must these monsters drain dry?

Shaogong, do something.

The Yuheng was originally an artifact of your Qingyutan.

Now you're having your spirit drained.

The Yuheng fragments have been lost for years.

I thought we'd finally found a lead,

but they've fallen into the hands of the Cloudveil Fortress.

Fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Please let me go.

Who's there?

Ooh,

finally a fine one!

This spirit alone is worth a hundred more!

Come on,

I can't wait!

As a mere half-demon, you dream of ascension?

You're just a mass of rotting flesh.

A demon!

The demon is here again!

Who goes there?

Release the old and the weak.

I'll fight you one-on-one!

Save us!

Let us out!

Save us!

Please!

Here are your belongings...

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you, young hero. - Thank you.

Young hero, please wait.

We haven't thanked you for saving our lives.

Our meeting today is but a chance encounter.

Don't worry about it.

Wait a second.

Young hero, I'm Fang Lansheng from Qinchuan.

This is my friend, Shaogong.

He is an excellent physician.

I'm Ouyang Shaogong from Qingyutan.

May I know your name?

Baili Tusu.

Slay the ghost aura and awaken the human soul.

A fine name.

You risked your life to save others.

I admire you.

That's true.

They say Jianghu warriors help the needy.

Today I see it's true.

- It's like saving people… - Shut up!

You're so noisy.

You're so rude.

You think I'm noisy?

I was sincerely praising you, but you don't appreciate it?

Is this how you treat people?

How could you tell me to shut up?

Bah!

The Yuheng?

This is the legendary Yuheng?

I found it on the leader of Cloudveil Fortress.

What is it?

To be honest,

this artifact originally belonged to Qingyutan.

It wasn't a demonic object,

but an ancient artifact used for the soul transfer technique.

Soul transfer technique?

That's right.

When I felt your pulse earlier,

I sensed another evil aura

awakening in you.

The soul transfer technique could dissolve it.

So he's got some strange illness.

No wonder he's so unpleasant.

With a complete Yuheng,

I could use the soul transfer technique

to draw out the evil aura.

Mr. Baili, since you roam the world,

would you like to join us in finding the fragments?

When I restore the Yuheng,

you'll be freed from the evil aura.

Since the Yuheng belongs to Qingyutan,

I'll leave it in your care.

I have urgent matters.

Please excuse me.

Mr. Baili,

we're leaving for Qinchuan tomorrow morning.

If you change your mind,

you can meet us at the dock.

Humph.

Excuse me.

I didn't mean to come here.

I didn't mean to peep.

Pardon?

Oh, I see.

You're the lecher Grandma warned me about!

I...

I'm not...

Grandma told me

many mortal men like peeping at women

I didn't think I'd meet one so soon.

Miss, you misunderstand.

A misunderstanding?

Miss, I didn't mean to peep at you.

Two eyes, one mouth...

What's so special?

Try my Cloud-Chasing Rope!

Miss.

I said I didn't mean to peep at you.

Why did you bind me?

Grandma said

lechers never admit their deeds.

Hmm… let me think.

How should I punish you?

This sword is mine now.

You...

Miss.

This sword is not a toy. Put it down!

How about this?

If you can catch me, I'll give it back.

What?

Xiang, go after her!

It's so novel outside.

Is it sweet?

Yes.

Don't eat too fast.

Let's go over there.

Have more drinks, please.

You're a good drinker.

Sir, it's settled then.

Brat, are you tired of living?

How dare you block my way!

Get lost if you don't want to get hurt!

How dare you act wildly in my place?
