Martial Peak, Eps 3 and 4 stills still have Yang Kai beating scam artists at their own game

The ongoing GG Year-animated martial arts donghua Martial Peak, Episodes 3 and 4 have just received a slew of stills via the animation studio’s official Weibo account.

Those stills were released to remind Tencent’s VIP subscribers in China that Episode 5 is now available, while non-subscribers will have to wait a while.

The Martial Peak, Episode 3 stills have protagonist Yang Kai at the sect’s store picking up his cultivation points for the week, and then bumping into a mysterious veiled woman who looks at him curiously.

Meanwhile, the Martial Peak, Episode 4 stills showcase those superb scenes where protagonist Yang Kai heads into town to pick up some rice, and comes across two brothers who are attempting to shake down the store owner with a lie about the rice he sells.

As if that wasn’t enough, the young cultivator he had come across previously — the one who accused him of trying to steal his money bag — also shows up.

And, while his appearance may initially seem both innocent and possibly helpful to the situation, Yang Kai is suspicious.

As it soon turns out, he has every reason to be as he guesses the young man is probably in on the scam with the two nasty brothers.

Enjoy the latest Martial Peak stills above.

Unfortunately, Tencent is not making it easy to watch the latest episodes for non-VIP subscribers, as only Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are currently available on Yuewen Animation’s YouTube channel.

And, even when you can watch them, the English subtitles are quite poor. (Update: They have improved in later episodes).

You can, however, watch the trailer for Martial Peak’s Episode 4, 5 and 6 below.
