Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 50 (Ending) Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Yin Yewang and Zhu Laosi had a big quarrel over Zhang Wuji's marriage. Fan Yao quickly stopped them. He supported Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min getting married. Wei Yixiao and Zhou Dian also had to agree. Zhang Wuji hurried to call Zhao Min, seeing her chatting and laughing with Yin Li. Yin Li personally handed Zhao Min to Zhang Wuji, repeatedly calling Zhang Wuji 'Zeng Aniu'. In fact, Yin Li had long recovered her memory.
The reason she deliberately feigned madness and always treated Zhang Wuji as 'Zeng Aniu' was to make Yin Yewang give up the idea of marrying her to Zhang Wuji, and also to help Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min fulfill their destiny together. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min accepted congratulations from the Ming Cult disciples together. Yin Yewang was also forced to acknowledge Zhao Min as the Cult Leader's wife.
Fan Yao and others immediately prepared a simple wedding for them, urging them to get married today. Zhang Wuji wanted to perform the heaven and earth worship with Zhao Min, but unexpectedly she left in a huff. Zhang Wuji hastily chased after her.
Zhao Min had long seen through the intentions of Yin Yewang, Fan Yao, and the others: they wanted to use their marriage to boost the morale of the Ming Cult and also take the opportunity to eliminate the Ruyang King. Zhao Min insisted on leaving, also reminding Zhang Wuji to be careful everywhere. Zhang Wuji earnestly pleaded with her to stay one more night.
Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min came to the river, cuddling together and gazing at the starry sky. Zhang Wuji suggested meeting the Ruyang King, hoping to persuade him to withdraw his troops. Early the next morning, Zhao Min brought Zhang Wuji and Fan Yao to meet the Ruyang King and the Little Prince, also specially bringing high-quality sorghum wine from Jiangnan. Zhang Wuji believed that the imperial court's incompetence and corruption led to the heroes rising in rebellion.
He implored the Ruyang King to consider the people of the world and temporarily cease hostilities. The Ruyang King immediately turned hostile before Zhang Wuji could finish speaking. Zhang Wuji was not discouraged and continued to explain the stakes to him, stating that the mutual slaughter would only cause the people to become displaced and suffer immense misery. He also swore on the spot that the Ming Cult righteous army would never advance another step.
Zhao Min also tried to persuade him from the side. The Ruyang King was deeply moved by his heartfelt words and agreed to temporarily withdraw his troops, but still intended to recuperate and completely eradicate the Ming Cult. Zhang Wuji felt that whether the Ming Cult existed or not was unimportant, as long as there was peace in the world.
The Ruyang King publicly announced that Zhao Min was free to choose and he would no longer interfere with her marriage. Zhang Wuji, Fan Yao, and Zhao Min were just about to leave the Yuan army camp when the Xuanming Elders suddenly rushed out and attacked the Ruyang King fiercely. Fan Yao fought them. The Ruyang King immediately stopped the Xuanming Elders, but unexpectedly, archers had already been ambushed there. They shot the Ruyang King with a volley of arrows.
The Ruyang King desperately used all his strength to tell the Little Prince to escape quickly. Zhang Wuji pressed Fan Yao hard for answers, and he had to admit that all of this was arranged by Zhu Laosi, who had also heavily bribed the Xuanming Elders to assassinate the Ruyang King. Zhang Wuji immediately rushed back to confront Zhu Laosi, but unexpectedly, everyone present knew about the matter, and only Zhang Wuji had been kept in the dark.
Zhao Min drew her sword, intending to kill Zhu Laosi to avenge her father. Zhang Wuji desperately shielded Zhu Laosi, offering to die to comfort the Ruyang King's spirit in heaven. Zhao Min couldn't bring herself to do it and left in a fit of pique. Zhao Min personally escorted her father's coffin back to Mongolia. Zhang Wuji caught up, promising to go to Mongolia to find her after completing the great task.
Zhao Min urged him to leave with her now, otherwise, he would eventually be killed by Zhu Laosi and his ilk. Zhang Wuji could not abandon the people of the world. Zhao Min angrily broke off their relationship, then pulled out her hairpin and threw it away. Zhang Wuji watched her leave, secretly vowing in his heart that he would definitely go find her. Zhang Wuji commanded the major sects to work together to eradicate the Yuan army.
The Yuan Emperor was forced to flee north. Zhang Wuji successfully brought peace to the land. He returned to Wudang to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday. Zhang Sanfeng advised him to go find Zhao Min. Before he left, Zhang Sanfeng practiced the Taiji Sword once more, hoping that Zhang Wuji would gain some insight from it. Zhang Wuji returned to the Ming Cult's main headquarters and saw that Yang Xiao had also recovered from his injuries and returned.
They unanimously supported Zhang Wuji as emperor. Zhang Wuji resolutely refused. Zhu Laosi worried that without a ruler, the world would sooner or later be exploited by opportunistic individuals like Chen Youliang, leading to great chaos. However, Zhang Wuji did not want to violate his oath made in Butterfly Valley. He picked up the Dragon Slaying Saber, swore an oath, and with a swift stroke, split the dragon throne into two.
He made Zhu Laosi and Yang Xiao swear together that they would assist the new monarch, bring prosperity to the people, and never act against the natural order. If anyone defied, they would be utterly destroyed, just like the severed dragon throne. Zhang Wuji bid farewell to the Ming Cult members and went to Mongolia to find Zhao Min. He searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Zhao Min.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, sweeping away the handkerchief from his hand. Zhang Wuji quickly dismounted to chase it. As he picked up the handkerchief, he suddenly saw Zhao Min right before his eyes. He was so emotional that tears welled up. Zhao Min was herding sheep with a whip in her hand. She had finally waited for the person she had longed for. The two embraced passionately, then rode horses together across the vast grassland.
