The Blood of Youth Episode 25 Recap
> The Blood of Youth Recap
At the same time, Xiao Yueli gathered 800 Tiger Cavalrymen to ride out of the city. The soldiers were full of fervor and fully armed as they rushed toward the gates. Lei Wujie had been waiting on the official road for a long time until the senior disciple, Lu Yuzhai, appeared. Declaring himself as a Qinglong Guardian, he drew his Heart Sword, blocking the opponent’s spear like a swimming dragon, while also using his silver tongue to buy time.
Lu Yuzhai’s spear technique and cultivation were inferior, and he was easily angered by Lei Wujie. After several exchanges, he failed to gain any advantage. Due to Lei Wujie’s overpowering sword energy, the swordfighters of Wushuang City were swiftly defeated—victory was clearly in sight. Yet at the critical moment, Song Yanhui descended from the sky and exchanged over ten moves with Lei Wujie in a match that ended evenly.
Lei Wujie rebuked Song Yanhui for losing his sword heart and forgetting the true meaning of drawing his sword. The swordsman who once bore the world in his heart and fought evil with righteousness was no more. Song Yanhui was moved by these words and suddenly realized that over the years, he had drawn his sword only to defeat Xueyue City, forgetting his original purpose. So he stepped aside and let Lei Wujie pass.
Chen Hu led the Luocheng army in a rapid assault but was suddenly blocked by a lone figure ahead—Sikong Qianluo, wielding a silver spear, the Zhuque Guardian of the South. She stood alone against thousands, her spear dancing like a dragon. One by one, steeds fell before her, and soldiers were thrown from their horses. Soon, hundreds of soldiers lay dead, yet Sikong Qianluo did not retreat an inch.
Just as Chen Hu launched another attack, Ye Ruoyi arrived with reinforcements. Upon seeing their general slain, the enemy soldiers fled in panic. Sikong Qianluo and Ye Ruoyi regrouped and set off together for Tianqi. Meanwhile, in Muliang City, Ji Xue—daughter of the Baihu-ranked Ji Ruofeng—encountered Sikong Changfeng and spoke about the reason Baixiao Hall reopened the Martial Rankings.
Sikong Changfeng noticed she was delivering a wine flask to Luo Qingyang and learned from her that Muliang was once a prosperous city. Unfortunately, climate shifts forced the residents to migrate south, turning it into a desolate place mockingly called "Melancholy City. " After gifting the wine to Luo Qingyang, Ji Xue left, and Sikong Changfeng couldn’t help but admire her—far surpassing her father as the heir to Baixiao Hall.
In contrast to the sunny or stormy weather in other places, it was constantly raining where Tang Lian was. Sitting in a teahouse, he sipped a strong brew called "Old Distilled Fire. " With the assassins of Dark River yet to arrive, Tang Lian gave a silver ingot to the teahouse owner and told him to flee. Sensing danger, the owner bolted in fear. On his way back to Tianqi, Xiao Se encountered the Furious Sword Immortal.
Expecting a fierce duel, he was surprised when the Immortal, seeing that Xiao Se had only just entered the Vajra Mortal Realm, deemed him unworthy of a fight. Before leaving, the Immortal left a challenge—when Xiao Se became a true master, they would duel for real. Xiao Yueli had waited outside the city for some time before finally seeing Xiao Se gallop in. The 800 Tiger Cavalrymen parted to let him through. Soon after, Ye Ruoyi and Sikong Changfeng arrived.
Seeing that they had protected Xiao Se from an earlier wave of enemies, Xiao Yueli chose not to obstruct them. Shortly after he left, Lei Wujie appeared on horseback. The three were reunited and believed Tang Lian, with his abilities, would surely reach Tianqi as well. Back at the teahouse, now in ruins with broken tables and chairs, Tang Lian laid out seven cups of "Starlight Wine. " With each sip, his aura intensified.
Though the wine could raise one’s cultivation briefly, it came with excruciating pain—drinking all seven meant certain death. After the sixth cup, all Dark River assassins lay dead—only Xie Qidao remained. But the intense battle left Tang Lian exhausted. As Xie Qidao summoned seven killing auras, Tang Lian unhesitatingly drank the final cup. With all seven Starlight Wines in his belly, he launched his final move, defeating Xie Qidao and emerging victorious. However, the victory came at a cost.
Severely injured, Tang Lian collapsed. Memories from his childhood to the present flashed before his eyes—waiting in vain for his parents to return, being taken in by Tang Lianyue as a disciple, and later apprenticing under Baili Dongjun.
