About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by Ya Yu against mythical creatures in Chinese mythology.

Ya Yu is down… but what’s coming next is even worse—a nine-headed monster and a deadly giant serpent. Can Yi actually defeat them both?... History is the record of the ruling class.
