MISSION 10: GREEN PHOENIX'S REVENGE
Everyone says Green Phoenix is the weakest but the smartest
among the seven Shadow Assassins.
Let me see if that's true.
We're going to find out now.
[dramatic music playing]
[growling]
[chittering]
Master?
I'm sorry.
I know I'm too late.
[young Green Phoenix] Master…
[Master] The broadsword he uses is called the Blade of Fear.
It causes hallucinations
as it alternates between feigned and real attacks,
which are hard to distinguish.
You must overcome your fears…
for any chance of victory.
[Green Phoenix] His right hand's been injured.
This must be a feigned attack.

SCISSOR SEVEN SHADOW DESTINY
I'm impressed. What a formidable strike.
If she wasn't a high-density, special alloy robot,
then that strike surely would have pierced through my body.
You've been hiding your strength all along.
Out of the Seven Shadow Assassins,
you're the strongest one.
Who would've expected that the leader of Xuanwu's Assassin Alliance
would use a robot servant from Stern?
[chuckles]
What a rare thing to catch Green Phoenix off guard.
Assassins can never be completely forthcoming in their missions.
It doesn't matter what means we take.
It seems that you already know about my weakness.
But too bad you just missed your only chance.
What makes you think that I don't have another trick up my sleeve
that can take your life?
Shut off your five senses and take an ultimate strike.
You've also calculated that my servant won't be able to interrupt your attack,
even if she charged at you the moment you make a move.
Worst case, we'll die together.
Doesn’t seem like any backup would come
after such an extreme move.
[Green Phoenix] Humph. Then try it.
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh no. Look at that poor girl.
Where's her master? Why won't he come save her?
Did you think that was going to affect me?
It was only a part of my plan to take her in.
I did it just so you'd believe
that I'm the successor of the Twin Blades Faction.
She's nothing but a pawn in my plan.
[wolves howling]
Although I am your master,
I won't have any mercy on you.
You have to find a way to save yourself when you're in danger.
You must have that awareness as an assassin.
The floral scent on her will dissipate in an hour.
In time for lunch for the snake demons.
With your flying skills,
you should have just enough time to make it.
I sense your thoughts starting to fluctuate.
You're losing focus.
[Green Phoenix] Enough chit-chat.
Make your move.
[dramatic music playing]
[coughs]
[chittering]
[breathing heavily, crying out]
[panting]
[coughs]
[woman giggles]
She's been poisoned by something called
"An Infected One Will Infect Them All."
If you save her, you'll be poisoned too.
Now that you're just mildly poisoned,
you can still stay alive if you put her down.
[chuckles] Wait.
Are you angry?
If you give me a kiss, I'll consider giving you the antidote.
[gasps]
[gasping]
What? You ruined my clothes.
Humph. That's an impressive move after being poisoned.
[wind whistling]
Master,
do you think I held you back?
[Master] Actually,
I had no chance of winning that battle.
But the leader was more afraid than I was.
He wasn't brave enough to bet
my revenge plan had failed,
and now countless assassins will pursue me.
But if you don't save me,
you can still get yourself out of here.
I have to tell you something.
[poignant piano music playing]
I was once the Prince of Greencloud.
I only joined the Assassin Alliance
to seek revenge against its leader. But there were always
other Shadow Assassins around him, whenever I had a chance to go there.
I couldn't kill him when they were around.
I just planned on creating an opportunity to battle him one-on-one.
That way, I'd have the confidence to defeat him.
I came up with this plan
when I saw the battle between Seven and Redtooth on Chicken Island.
When he arrived in Xuanwu, I took advantage of his trust in you,
planted the toxin from the Dark Frost Blade into his body.
While he was enraged, Seven would attract all assassins' attention.
That would be my best chance to kill the leader.
I was aware that in this way,
it would put you in danger.
That's to say,
I used you.
I took you in and taught you Twin Blades
just because I wanted people to be more convinced
that I'm the successor of the Twin Blades Faction.
And it was so I could conceal my identity
as the Prince. But that isn't my strongest skill.
Now, I'll teach you the most powerful sword skill of Greencloud,
the Greencloud Spring.
[Green Phoenix] Thirteen,
you have been training to use Twin Blades from the very beginning.
That's why you can't grasp the quintessence
of the Greencloud Spring now.
But I'm running out of time.
There's another person in Northern Xuanwu who can teach you.
[suspenseful music playing]
[menacing laughter]
[Green Phonenix] I've never lost to anyone in Go since I was eight years old.
Father and Master both praised me for being intelligent, level-headed.
Over the years, the only thing I miscalculated was
the human relationship.
You still have residual toxins in your body.
It's better not to use up your internal force.
He won't die that easily.
[suspenseful music playing]
Master, you're such a strong fighter.
Wouldn't it be a big loss if you sacrifice your life to save those people?
[Master chuckles]
Life is not a Go game. You can't calculate the outcome.
