1
00:00:00,959 --> 00:00:02,460
Everyone's severely wounded.

2
00:00:02,711 --> 00:00:05,672
But we've only lost two people

3
00:00:05,755 --> 00:00:07,340
fighting against
so many of them and Ci Zou.

4
00:00:07,424 --> 00:00:09,968
The mountain people are amazing.

5
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:13,888
Once we kill the enemy's general,
we will have gotten this in the bag.

6
00:00:14,597 --> 00:00:17,434
Bi, will you be okay without rest?

7
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:19,644
After going through all of this,
who wants to rest?

8
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:21,312
Am I right, Bi?

9
00:00:21,896 --> 00:00:23,189
Precisely.

10
00:00:25,442 --> 00:00:29,154
We just need to get through this corridor
to get to the main hall.

11
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:33,742
The mastermind, Jiao Cheng,
is in the main hall.

12
00:00:36,619 --> 00:00:37,537
Xin, listen up.

13
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:40,081
I'm counting on you.

14
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,296
<i>Are you ready, Xin?</i>

15
00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:47,255
Of course!

16
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,554
<i>I will kill Jiao Cheng!</i>

17
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:57,766
<i>Ancient China.</i>

18
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:02,896
<i>After the end of the age of sages,
human desires were unleashed.</i>

19
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:06,316
<i>Endless raging wars
and turmoil ravaged China for 500 years.</i>

20
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,360
<i>Over 100 countries were eliminated
with only seven remaining.</i>

21
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:15,116
<i>Now, a historic wind of turmoil sweeps
over the State of Qin in the far West.</i>

22
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:20,038
<i>This is the story of a nameless boy
and a young king who survived</i>

23
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:22,123
<i>the Warring States period.</i>

24
00:03:06,561 --> 00:03:09,230
There seems to be a commotion outside.

25
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:12,609
Could they have clashed
with the mountain people?

26
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:23,161
It's rare to see you panicking like this.

27
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:25,330
What's wrong, Minister Jie?

28
00:03:26,831 --> 00:03:31,336
The mountain people
are not here to form an alliance.

29
00:03:32,128 --> 00:03:35,423
The 50 people who entered the city
have gotten past Zhugui Gate

30
00:03:35,506 --> 00:03:40,094
and are now fighting Shi's soldiers
in Gonglong Square.

31
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:41,429
What?

32
00:03:41,971 --> 00:03:43,097
This...

33
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:44,474
That's not all.

34
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:50,480
Zheng Ying was seen
among the mountain people.

35
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:56,402
What?

36
00:03:57,403 --> 00:03:59,322
You mean the king?

37
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:01,366
What's going on?

38
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:03,952
How can the king
be among the mountain people?

39
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:05,119
This is ridiculous.

40
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:09,082
Could the king have joined forces
with the mountain people

41
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:12,252
to take back the throne?

42
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:14,087
Calm down.

43
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,756
They will not come here.

44
00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:33,856
Really?

45
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,150
Is he still alive?

46
00:04:37,193 --> 00:04:38,236
Zheng Ying.

47
00:04:39,904 --> 00:04:41,322
<i>Not only is he alone without support,</i>

48
00:04:41,406 --> 00:04:45,368
<i>but he has come with those lowly monkeys
to take back the throne?</i>

49
00:04:45,493 --> 00:04:49,038
I wouldn't be surprised to think
he would make a cheap move like that.

50
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:55,712
But does he really think
that he can take the throne back from me?

51
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,879
How foolish.

52
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:03,177
I hope death will teach you something.
You are not fit to be king.

53
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:08,099
I am the king of Qin.

54
00:05:19,944 --> 00:05:21,404
Listen up, everyone!

55
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:23,448
Your Highness.

56
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:25,575
Everyone.

57
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:27,702
Keep your spirits up.

58
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:29,829
Victory is before our eyes.

59
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,665
Victory is before our eyes?

60
00:05:32,874 --> 00:05:35,001
This is my battle with Jiao Cheng,

61
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:37,754
as well as Jie,
the mastermind behind the plan

62
00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:41,424
to take control of Qin.

63
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:47,055
Besides these two,
there's no one else behind this evil coup.

64
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:50,850
As long as we get rid of them both,
our enemy will fall apart.

65
00:05:51,392 --> 00:05:54,228
The main hall where they are
is no longer safe for them.

66
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:56,773
Our other unit is headed
toward the main hall

67
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,399
and will kill the two masterminds.

68
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:02,403
We have to persevere.

69
00:06:03,237 --> 00:06:04,280
Persevere...

70
00:06:04,363 --> 00:06:07,116
Even if you lose your swords, your arms

71
00:06:07,366 --> 00:06:09,869
and even your blood,
you have to persevere.

72
00:06:10,745 --> 00:06:11,746
As long as we persevere,

73
00:06:12,747 --> 00:06:14,082
we will win.

74
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:17,502
Yes!

75
00:06:30,848 --> 00:06:33,267
Bi, are we there yet?

76
00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:35,019
Almost.

77
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:36,479
We're halfway there.

78
00:06:37,146 --> 00:06:38,898
Only halfway?

79
00:06:48,282 --> 00:06:49,367
Captain.

80
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:54,413
Maybe we should let that guy rest.
He's going to cave in and die.

81
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:57,375
He was the one who wanted to keep moving.

82
00:06:57,708 --> 00:06:59,001
I won't stop him.

83
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:04,132
Even if he dies because of that,
it's okay.

84
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,009
What are you talking about?

85
00:07:07,635 --> 00:07:10,680
Captain, how could you say that?

86
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:12,432
He-liao.

87
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,060
Jio Ba's right with what he said.

88
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,186
Bi.

89
00:07:18,187 --> 00:07:19,856
What we do will affect everything.

90
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:23,484
From the lives of the king
and the ones fighting,

91
00:07:23,568 --> 00:07:26,320
as well as the 3,000 people
waiting for us outside

92
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:28,489
for the outcome of this battle.

93
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:31,242
Everything is depending on us.

94
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:35,288
He's moving forward
because he understands this.

95
00:07:36,038 --> 00:07:38,708
And he'll keep going
until he runs out of energy.

96
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:58,936
We're almost there.

97
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:00,771
Let's go.

98
00:08:01,939 --> 00:08:02,773
Xin.

99
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,819
Kid, don't do that. It'll slow you down.

100
00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:09,739
Shut up.

101
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:47,485
<i>There was once a person called Piao.</i>

102
00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,239
He was an orphan like me.

103
00:08:54,242 --> 00:08:57,203
We were brought up together like brothers.

104
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:06,295
Well, I say "brought up",
but we were slaves.

105
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:11,926
They said he looked like Zheng.

106
00:09:12,718 --> 00:09:15,388
But come to think of it, I don't think so.

107
00:09:18,432 --> 00:09:22,019
Piao was an optimistic guy
and always smiling.

108
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:24,814
But Zheng is so gloomy.

109
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:34,782
Many people have died because of Zheng.

110
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:36,492
Piao is one of them.

111
00:09:37,618 --> 00:09:40,621
It seems like
the place we're now headed for

112
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:43,541
is where the real enemy is.

113
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,634
Do you have any siblings?

114
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:57,054
Well, I guess you can't answer me now.

115
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:11,068
Look, we're almost there.

116
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:13,988
This is where it all began.

117
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:24,373
Xin.

118
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,542
Are we too slow?

119
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:28,753
Okay, let's hurry up.

120
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:30,338
Xin.

121
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:33,799
That guy...

122
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:36,385
What?

123
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:40,181
Is dead.

124
00:11:05,414 --> 00:11:06,248
Get out of my way!

125
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:12,046
Who were those guys?

126
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:13,756
They were not soldiers.

127
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:15,674
They work in the main hall.

128
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,636
Everyone past this point is unarmed.

129
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:20,888
That means the main hall is close by?

130
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:23,140
It's not just close by.

131
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,851
It's literally before our eyes.

132
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:45,621
It's over, you bastards!

133
00:11:52,837 --> 00:11:55,589
How did you all get here?

134
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:58,801
Did Ci Zou fail?

135
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:05,975
Are you Jiao Cheng?

136
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,186
I'm surprised.

137
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:12,189
I thought you would be
running around crying.

138
00:12:12,273 --> 00:12:14,066
But you look pretty composed.

139
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:16,485
Have you been waiting for us?

140
00:12:20,781 --> 00:12:22,408
Death.

141
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:23,826
What?

142
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:32,251
The punishment for trespassing
on palace grounds is death.

143
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:36,422
You bunch of fools.

144
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:41,385
The punishment for breathing
the same air as mine is death.

145
00:12:44,513 --> 00:12:46,390
I see.

146
00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:50,603
I think your reaction is fit for a king.

147
00:12:51,604 --> 00:12:54,565
I almost forgot after spending
too much time with that guy.

148
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:58,652
How dare you address me like that?

149
00:12:59,111 --> 00:13:01,405
Are you out of your mind?

150
00:13:01,989 --> 00:13:04,950
Hey, I think you are out of your mind.

151
00:13:05,701 --> 00:13:08,037
The king of Qin is Zheng Ying.

152
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:11,248
You are nothing, but a traitor!

153
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:20,090
I won't let you die easily.

154
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:23,260
I will break your limbs.

155
00:13:23,677 --> 00:13:24,929
Do it if you dare.

156
00:13:28,516 --> 00:13:29,975
Lankai!

157
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:01,090
What the hell are you?

158
00:14:03,968 --> 00:14:05,052
My sword won't go through.

159
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:11,892
Xin!

160
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:17,147
What's the deal with this guy?

161
00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:19,942
Where is he from?

162
00:14:20,442 --> 00:14:22,444
He's Lankai.

163
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:27,741
Where's Teng?

164
00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:29,451
Yes, I'm here.

165
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:32,454
Have you checked the corridor?

166
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:34,748
Right, I was just about to go there.

167
00:14:35,082 --> 00:14:36,709
There's no need to.

168
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:40,671
I want you to go somewhere else now.

169
00:14:41,171 --> 00:14:43,090
Yes, understood.

170
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:45,342
Go now.

171
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:46,802
Yes.

172
00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:53,100
They're taking too much time.

173
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:55,269
What's going on in there?

174
00:14:56,103 --> 00:14:59,315
I know they told us to just be on standby,
but shouldn't we do something?

175
00:14:59,857 --> 00:15:00,816
You're right.

176
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,485
We can just go past the gate
and close it behind us

177
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,237
before those 80,000 soldiers
get to us, right?

178
00:15:05,321 --> 00:15:06,488
You're right.

179
00:15:14,872 --> 00:15:16,540
Don't jump the gun.

180
00:15:16,665 --> 00:15:17,583
Idiots.

181
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:20,336
Just be on standby
if that's what you are asked to do.

182
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,295
Idiots.

183
00:15:39,396 --> 00:15:42,483
Even the Captain and Tajifu
are no match for this thing.

184
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:45,653
How do I fight a monster like that?

185
00:15:58,207 --> 00:16:00,000
No one is allowed to interfere.

186
00:16:01,377 --> 00:16:02,419
Jio Ba.

187
00:16:02,878 --> 00:16:04,380
What are you going to do?

188
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:13,806
I want to temporarily return
to my previous state.

189
00:16:24,358 --> 00:16:29,196
Although I would like to listen
to the elders of the mountains,

190
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:32,116
I believe in our king.

191
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:34,410
I am with you on this.

192
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:35,828
But...

193
00:16:36,036 --> 00:16:39,331
The people inside are the elite.

194
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:46,213
The 40 people we have sent
are the best of their tribes.

195
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:48,757
It's the king of the mountains,
Duan-he Yang,

196
00:16:49,508 --> 00:16:51,885
<i>as well as Jio Ba.</i>

197
00:17:02,312 --> 00:17:04,398
Incredible!

198
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:06,358
The monster seems to be retreating.

199
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,277
The situation has changed.

200
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:11,280
The captain is awesome.

201
00:17:14,742 --> 00:17:17,953
Although you are good,
it still feels really scary.

202
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:22,374
That thing is not human.

203
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:23,542
It's a monster.

204
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:25,335
Jio Ba?

205
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:27,880
The one who Xin calls Captain?

206
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,883
Jio Ba was a poor thing.

207
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:33,802
Once upon a time,
we launched an expedition

208
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,597
to unite all the mountains.

209
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:40,225
<i>When we were deep
into the west side of the mountains,</i>

210
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:43,187
<i>three guards disappeared.</i>

211
00:17:44,605 --> 00:17:48,692
<i>After searching, we found their bodies.</i>

212
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:54,156
<i>They looked like
they had been attacked by a beast.</i>

213
00:17:54,531 --> 00:17:57,409
<i>We thought there was a fierce enemy
we had yet to meet.</i>

214
00:17:57,993 --> 00:18:01,914
<i>We put together a team
of 20 men to search the area.</i>

215
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:06,335
<i>But none of them returned.</i>

216
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:10,380
<i>We felt something was wrong,
so all of us went out</i>

217
00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:14,301
<i>to search for the 20 people.</i>

218
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:21,350
Then, shortly after we started our search,
we found the beast.

219
00:18:21,558 --> 00:18:27,940
<i>And around him were 20 bodies.</i>

220
00:18:45,582 --> 00:18:49,628
<i>Jio Ba's tribe had been wiped out
a few years prior.</i>

221
00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:52,047
<i>He was the only survivor.</i>

222
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:55,717
After some years of living
in the mountains alone,

223
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:58,637
he slowly lost his humanity.

224
00:18:59,221 --> 00:19:02,307
We spent a lot of time
and energy to suppress him.

225
00:19:13,527 --> 00:19:17,865
If you want to continue being a monster,
we will finish you off here.

226
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:21,743
If you are willing to be human again
and loyal to me,

227
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,955
I will welcome you in as family.

228
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:36,508
<i>At the time, Jio Ba didn't understand
human languages.</i>

229
00:19:39,511 --> 00:19:42,639
<i>But he cried and bawled.</i>

230
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:48,187
<i>And so, Duan-he Yang
took Jio Ba in as one of us.</i>

231
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:52,441
Jio Ba slowly regained his human side

232
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:56,153
and learned to speak
and become a good warrior.

233
00:19:57,029 --> 00:20:01,950
But there's still a monster

234
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:04,286
inside him.

235
00:20:05,078 --> 00:20:08,040
If the monster is unleashed,

236
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:10,876
<i>he'll be invincible.</i>

237
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:17,674
Wow.

238
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:22,054
That's really fast.

239
00:20:45,118 --> 00:20:46,495
That's incredible.

240
00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:49,706
He's not letting go of the monster.

241
00:20:50,749 --> 00:20:53,627
Is Jio Ba showing his true colors?

242
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:56,171
Good job, Captain!

243
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:18,026
The monster is retreating.

244
00:21:34,751 --> 00:21:38,046
Lankai has been forced back by the enemy.

245
00:21:38,171 --> 00:21:39,172
Impossible.

246
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:41,508
How can that monster be defeated?

247
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:52,227
He won.

248
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:54,187
The captain is awesome!

249
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:56,356
He defeated the monster.

250
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:58,608
He's very strong.

251
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:01,695
All that remains now is Jiao Cheng.

252
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:03,822
Lankai.

253
00:22:04,698 --> 00:22:06,533
Who told you to take a break?

254
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:10,871
Why do you think
I would keep a monster like you?

255
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:12,998
I think I've told you before

256
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:17,085
that you exist merely to kill people.

257
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:19,379
Finish them off right now.

258
00:22:20,088 --> 00:22:23,592
Otherwise, I will punish you.

259
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:44,446
Move it!

260
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:46,782
Finish them off.

261
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:57,417
Captain!

262
00:24:31,386 --> 00:24:32,220

<i>Not bad.</i>
