Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 47 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Du'e, Dunnan, and Dujie set up the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation. Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo joined forces to confront them. They were a perfect match, cooperating tacitly. The Vajra Subduing Demon Formation was exquisite, like an impenetrable fortress. The two sides fought an inseparable battle. Zhou Zhiruo used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, coupled with Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Skill, and quickly broke the indestructible grand formation.
The iron chains in the hands of the three eminent monks snapped instantly. Du'e, Dujie, and Dunnan used Shaolin unique skills, surrounding Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo. They also showed no weakness. Zhang Wuji used the Qiankun Great Shift combined with Zhou Zhiruo's Heart-Shattering Palm, shaking the three eminent monks, making them stumble back a few steps to their original positions. Kongwen Abbot arrived in time to stop their fight and publicly exposed Yuanzhen's trick.
Yuanzhen poisoned Kongwen, causing him to lose his internal power, then put him under house arrest, and coerced Kongzhi to send out hero invitations far and wide, gathering all major sects to Shaolin, attempting to wipe them out in one go. Immediately after, Kongwen asked Zhang Wuji to rescue Xie Xun from the dungeon.
Before Zhang Wuji could react, Zhou Zhiruo had already seized Xie Xun and threatened to grind Xie Xun's bones to dust in front of all the major sects to eliminate a scourge for the martial arts world. Zhang Wuji desperately pleaded with her to let Xie Xun go, willing to exchange his own life for Xie Xun's.
Zhao Min immediately stepped forward and publicly exposed Zhou Zhiruo's crime of poisoning people and stealing the Dragon Slaying Saber on Spirit Snake Island. Zhou Zhiruo was enraged and humiliated, furiously charging at Zhao Min. Zhang Wuji selflessly blocked in front of Zhao Min. Suddenly, a melodious zither sound came, and five white-clad women flew down from the sky. The leading Yellow-clad Woman gently flicked her slender fingers and froze Zhou Zhiruo in place, unable to move.
She hated Zhou Zhiruo for her numerous evil deeds and wanted to eliminate a menace for the people. Xie Xun, disregarding past grievances, proactively interceded for Zhou Zhiruo. Zhang Wuji thanked the Yellow-clad Woman for saving his life twice and asked for her name, but the woman did not answer directly, only saying, "In Mount Zhongnan, the Tomb of the Living Dead. The Condor Heroes, vanished from the jianghu."
She further left a message reminding Zhang Wuji to do his best to help the Beggar's Sect, then she drifted away with her four disciples. Zhang Wuji immediately unsealed Zhou Zhiruo's acupuncture points. She, overwhelmed with shame, turned and left. Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the crowd. Xie Xun immediately recognized it as Chengkun's voice. Although he could no longer see, Chengkun's laughter was deeply etched in his memory.
Everyone looked at each other, unable to guess where Chengkun was. Kongzhi quietly left the crowd. Zhang Wuji hurriedly chased after him and tore off the mask from his face. Unexpectedly, Chengkun had disguised himself as Kongzhi. Chengkun, going all out, ordered the Shaolin disciples to kill the Demonic Sect members without mercy. Kongwen loudly refuted him, calling him a Shaolin traitor, but Chengkun argued with all sorts of excuses.
Xie Xun wanted to settle scores with Chengkun and publicly recounted Chengkun's heinous crimes of slaughtering his entire family of thirteen. Before Xie Xun finished speaking, Chengkun attacked Xie Xun violently, and every move was lethal. Zhang Wuji was at a loss, anxious, but he could not step forward to help. Chengkun took advantage of Xie Xun's blindness to launch a sneak attack. Unexpectedly, he was instead stabbed blind in both eyes by Xie Xun. Chengkun screamed in pain.
Xie Xun used the Seven Injuries Fist to knock Chengkun to the ground, then he crippled his own martial arts and publicly declared that all grievances with Chengkun were completely resolved. Xie Xun knelt on the ground, admitting his mistakes to the various sects, allowing them to dispose of him as they wished, and forbade Zhang Wuji from seeking revenge. The Six Major Sects separately condemned Xie Xun's crimes, but none laid a hand on him.
Just then, Wei Yixiao arrived at Shaolin Temple with Yin Tianzheng and his son and brought battle reports from the front. Zhang Wuji hurried to find them to discuss military intelligence. Yin Tianzheng received intelligence that Ruyang Wang and his son were leading twenty thousand Yuan soldiers toward Shaolin Temple. Kongwen immediately sent someone to ring the alarm bell, gathering all Shaolin disciples, ready to fight at any moment.
Zhou Zhiruo publicly exposed that Zhao Min was Ruyang Wang's daughter, accusing her of infiltrating the martial arts gathering to pass on information. Zhang Wuji quickly stepped forward to explain that Zhao Min had already severed her father-daughter relationship with Ruyang Wang, hoping everyone would not make things difficult for Zhao Min. Zhou Zhiruo, however, was relentless. She even brought up the events at Wan'an Temple to provoke the various sects, and they all demanded to kill Zhao Min.
Kongwen did not want to implicate the various sects and advised everyone to quickly leave Shaolin Temple. Song Yuanqiao declared he would not flinch from the battle. Zhang Wuji proposed leading the Yuan soldiers elsewhere for a decisive battle to avoid destroying Shaolin, this thousand-year-old ancient temple. Ruyang Wang and his son, leading the Yuan soldiers, had already reached the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Wuji sent Peng Yingyu and Tieguan Daozhang to lead two banners of the Ming Cult as the vanguard to guard the vital passes up the mountain. He also sent Shuobude to use the Sacred Fire Token to divert the Yuan soldiers and ascend the mountain for support. Finally, he sent people to build fortifications. Chengkun sneered at Zhang Wuji, thinking he was simply trying to strike a rock with an egg, completely unable to contend with the Yuan soldiers.
Zhou Zhiruo determined that Chengkun and Ruyang Wang were colluding, deliberately luring the various sects to Shaolin Temple, then, with internal and external cooperation, wiping them out in one fell swoop. Chengkun then falsely accused Zhao Min of also being involved in the matter, and Zhao Min was unable to defend herself. Yin Yewang believed Chengkun's words and forced Zhang Wuji to apprehend Zhao Min. Despite Zhang Wuji's numerous explanations, they did not believe him.
At this time, the Yuan soldiers had already breached the Ming Cult's blockade, pressing directly towards the mountainside. The situation was extremely critical. All sects unanimously demanded Zhao Min be executed on the spot to dampen the Yuan soldiers' morale. Zhang Wuji, forced into a corner, had no choice but to imprison Zhao Min first, thinking of using her to threaten Ruyang Wang at a critical moment.
The Ming Cult disciples and Yuan soldiers fought a bloody battle, finally forcing them down to the foot of the mountain, temporarily alleviating the crisis at Shaolin Temple. Zhang Wuji explained the situation to Zhao Min and apologized to her. Zhao Min understood his predicament, feeling that she had caused him trouble. Zhao Min's greatest fear had still come true.
She could only watch helplessly as Zhang Wuji and her father and brother fought on the battlefield, while she was powerless. Zhang Wuji could only gently persuade her. Ruyang Wang decided to sneak attack Shaolin from the western cliffs under the cover of darkness. Wei Yixiao quickly scouted the movements of the Yuan soldiers. Yin Tianzheng wanted to lead the Sharp Metal Banner disciples to ambush on West Mountain to deliver a head-on blow to the Yuan soldiers.
Zhang Wuji wanted to send Wei Yixiao to lead the troops, as he was familiar with the enemy's situation, but Yin Tianzheng insisted on leading the team into battle. Zhang Wuji had no choice but to agree. Xie Xun, knowing his sins were grave, voluntarily converted to Buddhism. Du'e was willing to take him as a disciple, allowing him to practice with his hair, still named Xie Xun.
Zhang Wuji saw Xie Xun achieve great enlightenment, feeling an unspeakable bitterness in his heart. Just then, Song Yuanqiao came to report to Zhang Wuji that Yin Tianzheng had been shot dead by a volley of arrows from Yuan soldiers on West Mountain Cliff. Zhang Wuji immediately rushed to the quiet room, seeing Yin Tianzheng shot to a bloody pulp, already passed away. He was heartbroken and distraught. Yin Yewang, disregarding Wei Yixiao's obstruction, insisted on killing Zhao Min to avenge his father. Zhang Wuji desperately tried to stop him, but Yin Yewang was relentless.
