Thunderbolt Fantasy (Thunderbolt Fantasy -東離劍遊紀)

Thunder. Lightning.

Our story begins with that which shakes the heavens and earth.

Like a thunderbolt in a blue sky, a startling fantasy begins to unfold!

Run! Dān Fěi, run!

Brother!

After them! Don't let them escape!

Foolish little girl...

Know now the price of opposing the Xuán Guǐ Zōng!

I won't let you!

To think that your ancient Hù Yìn Shī blade is so weak...

You make me laugh!

You underestimate the techniques of the Dān, you cur?

Dān Blade Technique:

Flying Red Cloud Rush!

So you've dodged it. But...

There will not be a next time!

Precisely...

There will not be a next time.

All life is a prelude to death.

To serve me until you are a corpse,

or to be cut down and become one.

Your have two options at the end of my sword.

Sēn Luó Kū Gǔ...

Miè Tiān Hái!

What madness brought you to our sacred ground?!

I have already told you what I'm after.

Now, give it to me.

I know that you two always have it with you, and never let it out of your sight.

We'd never hand it over to a villain like you!

Handing it over while you still live,

or prying it from your corpses...

That makes very little difference to me.

But I'm sure the difference is much greater to you!

My duty carries more weight than my own life...

If I fail in it, then there's no difference between life and death!

Fool! I warned you there would not be a next time!

Then face this!

Dān Blade Technique: Yang Sunrise!

Demonic War Force: Total Annihilation!

Brother!

Dān Fěi... you need to leave me and run...

Brother, I couldn't!

If even one of us siblings survives, the Tiān Xing Jiàn sword will be protected!

Go!

You won't escape.

Go, Dān Fěi!

Brother!

Damn them!

Is that...?

That girl should have the guard that belongs to this handle.

Find her, and leave no stone unturned.

I will be returning to Seven Sins Tower.

Yes, sir!

Find the girl!

Search everywhere downstream!

Episode 1 "Code of Umbrellas"

A truly wondrous journey does not require horses to carry you over great distances,

or a luxurious carriage,

but enough time to stop and aimlessly enjoy yourself.

One man, fully aware of this,

sits under a tree to stay out of the rain, in no hurry at all.

Near him is a Buddha statue with a broken roof...

But the statue is shielded from the rain by an umbrella someone has left.

But who left this umbrella, and under what conditions?

Damn it...

If I'm getting this wet,

I might as well be swimming through a river!

Well, it's my lucky day!

Hey, you there. Traveler.

You don't plan to steal that umbrella, do you?

What? Is this your umbrella?

No, but it appears that someone took pity on that Buddha statue and left it there.

That makes it an offering.

If the statue were clay or wood, sure,

but a stone statue will suffer no harm by getting wet in the rain.

I, on the other hand, will catch a cold.

If you don't like the rain, come sit under this tree.

I don't know how much time you have on your hands, but I'm in a hurry.

It appears that you care very little for the divine,

but I'm sure even a ruffian like you has some sense of virtue.

Are you prepared to repay your debt?

My debt?

Yes. You just borrowed an umbrella from that Buddha statue.

You don't plan to skip out on this, do you?

What are you trying to say?

In your travels,

no matter who it may be,

show the first person you see some compassion, in place of the Buddha.

If you swear to do that, I will bother you no more.

Man, you're annoying. All right, fine.

I'll show some compassion or whatever.

Remember, no matter what.

What a strange guy.

What the hell was that? Me showing compassion in Buddha's place?

Do I look the type to do that?

The way she's walking... Does she have some internal injuries?

Hey, you there. You having some kind of trouble?

Yeah, all right. None of my business, I guess.

Huh?

We've got you now, little girl! Surrender!

What the hell do you guys want?

Hello?

How about before you go swinging those nasty things around,

you tell me why you're doing that?

Why are you chasing her?

This has nothing to do with you. If you interfere, you'll get hurt!

Well, you see...

There's a Buddha back there that's getting drenched in this rain,

so I've got to save that girl.

What are you talking about?

Don't ask me! Well, anyway, that's just how this goes.

You fool! You dare get in our way, knowing we're the Xuán Guǐ Zōng?

Huh?

Do they call guys who chase around girls

the Xuán Guǐ Zōng around here?

What?!

Whoa, there.

Don't get angry. I'm not from around here.

So I'm not very aware of what goes on around here.

But...

Since you're all getting mad with no explanation,

that must mean that you guys don't care much for reason or logic.

Enough! Kill him!

Oh, damn it!

Retreat!

Hey! At least pay for my damn umbrella!

Damn it...

She's not hurt too badly.

This should do...
