Father, do you have a name for this sword?
It's called "The Ultimate Sword,"
the best sword I've made in my life!
Which is better - martiaI arts or a good sword?
A good sword can...
help a novice
And make an expert really powerfuI
But most important is who is using the sword
Cloud, remember:
Kindness is invincible!
Lord Conquer has led Conquer's Clan
to the strong position it is today
Mud Buddha, you are praising yourself
You are in charge of the geomancy here,
and if we do well, so will you
I hope so
Jester, you are Lord Conquer's right hand
Truly a servant of one, master of thousands
It's a dangerous way of living
We always envy each other
His Lordship has been waiting all day
Greetings, Lord! Greetings, my Lord!
You've come
You know me well
How will I do in my dueI with Sword Saint?
My Lord's martiaI arts skill will find no match in the world
Neither No Name in the south nor...
Sword Saint in the north
are worthy opponents
Mud Buddha,
you talk like Jester
Lord, I didn't teach him to sweet talk
If I can defeat Sword Saint,
Conquer's Clan will rule the world
But I can tell you, my Lord...
You may have to wait ten years for the dueI with Sword Saint
Why do you say that?
The time has not yet come
My Lord, a gift for you
What is it?
"When the Wind and Cloud combine,
the Fish with Golden Scales becomes a Dragon"
These two birth charts
are of the two disciples you will have
one is named Wind
The other is named Cloud
Wind and Cloud?
The wind is formless
The cloud is unpredictable
As to...
how to find them,
that depends on your fate
And after I find them?
You will be invincible for the first half of your life
And the last half?
Find Wind and Cloud first
Jester
Yes, my Lord
Use whatever means necessary
I must find Wind and Cloud
Yes, my Lord
This is a Persian treasure,
it is called the Ying Yang Magic Box
It has 108 CelestiaI Stems and TerrestriaI Branches
My Lord is so intelligent,
if you can find...
the correct combination
the box will open
It holds the answer to the second half of your life;
I will
then be able to give you an explanation
Do not use force to open this box
If you do...
the box will explode
and all will be destroyed
Good!
I, Conquer, can certainly open this box
out of my way! Go away!
"By order of Conquer's Clan,
all boys with the listed birth chart
must become disciples of Conquer's Clan"
Master!
Master...
Conquer's Clan seeks boys with young master's birth chart
Do not let them know of Cloud
Yes, sir
Cloud
Come here
Wind, did you memorize the Blizzard Rhyme I taught you?
Don't worry father, I remember
"When river reaches Buddha's knee, Burning then will Cirrus Cave be"
Father, what does this mean?
This river floods all the time
Legend says, when the Buddha's knees are flooded,
Cirrus Cave up in the mountains will catch fire,
and the villages will be flooded too
Wind, I have carried you a long time
Why don't you get down and walk with me
I like the feeling of being carried by you
Father, will we see mother on this trip?
Who told you, Wind?
I am already ten, no longer a child
Promise never to mention your mother again
All women are trouble
Conquer, I have retired for many years
Why must you force me?
Fire Unicorn in the south, Ice Blizzard in the north
My goaI in life is to gather the World's Ten Greatest Weapons
For you to posses the Blizzard Blade is a crime punishable by death
I have already buried it in the hills
If you want to fight, we'll use bamboo
But if I win...
I'll choose between Blizzard Blade, or your wife
If I loose today's dueI...
You can have the Fire Unicorn Sword
You must pay for your madness!
Whispering Prince, you're using bamboo today
It is only the first round
I'll give you two years
Bring Blizzard Blade to me then at the Cirrus Cave
I'll take your wife for now
Wind, wait here for Father
Father, I hope you'll bring Mother
Its been sometime...
You're alone?
Ying
Husband
How have you been?
Very happy
Whispering Prince, don't you understand?
Ying wanted to come with me,
I never forced her
Ying!
Didn't you notice?
Ever since your retirement to the countryside...
I have never smiled
I want a man to be celebrated hero
I want your humble visitors...
to adore me
Now I understand...
only by robbing you of your love
I can make you fight back
I shall force you to use the Blizzard Blade
I'll tell you a secret
I only used her
to vent my desires
I never loved her
Conquer, you are despicable!
Mother!
Wind! Mother, I miss you
We will fight to the death,
but I have one request from you
Speak
I have only one son, Whispering Wind
If I die, please let him live
Yes, I promise you
I have dishonoured you and your father
Mother!
Mother! Don't!
Mother...
Father!
Father...
Father!
Wind, run! Don't worry about me!
No, I won't run away!
Run! Hurry! Father...
What have we Stridings done to you?
Why do you destroy my homestead?
It is our Lord's order
Hand over your son and the Ultimate Sword
Give it to Conquer's Clan and we will spare you
I'd rather die than surrender!
We'll find the sword
after we kill you all
I have hidden it
Even if you find it,
you cannot use it without it touching my blood or that of my son's
There's a child
Is he Striding Sky's son?
Perhaps not, he isn't crying at all
Take the child and all the swords
Yes
Where is Father? Where is my father?
Calm down!
My father brought you here
or you would've been eaten by wolves
Curious? This is Conquer's Clan
I'm Charity, daughter of Lord Conquer He's Frost
You've fainted for two days
Have some tea I'll take you to eat later
Isn't it too hot?
My Lord's brilliance will
unite Heaven and Earth...
These three years, the Clan has gone far
We are the greatest Clan now
I am naming heirs to further strengthen us
Frost,
Cloud and Wind will be my closest disciples
With their Frost Fists, Cloud Palms and Wind Kicks
Conquer's Clan shall dominate the martiaI arts world
My Lord's brilliance will
unite Heaven and Earth
"Unable to meet in battle
DueI to death in ten years. Sword Saint"
Mud Buddha, you are a true prophet
Why didn't you attack with your full force?
Master's body is invaluable, I dare not
If I cannot handle your attacks,
then I deserve to die
Master Cloud,
His Lordship wishes to see you
and Master Wind
Bring the coloured stones to Charity
Yes
Come in
Charity, this is forbidden ground
We are not allowed to go in
To outsiders only,
but I'm Lord Conquer's daughter
This is the Sword Grave, our sword storage
If not forbidden, it may still be dangerous
That's why I asked you to go with me
I'll go in myself, cowards
You two go, I'll stand guard
See, you cherish me more
Let's go, Wind
Women are trouble
Look! Magic fire!
No, these are just firebugs
I'll take some home
Someone's coming. Let's go
Let's go
"With the unique powers of Wind and Cloud,
Lord Conquer has obtained supremacy and expanded his empire
With the strength of his martiaI arts,
Conquer has overcome all but one of his rivals - Sword Saint"
This prophecy is a gift from Mud Buddha
Together with another verse
I'll be able to find out my fate
That other verse is still locked in this magic box
I have been unable to find the right combination for ten years,
and Mud Buddha has disappeared for ten years
Frost, Wind, I have lost my patience
Go and find Mud Buddha
Legend says...
In order to find Mud Buddha, one must first seek the Fire Monkey"
Use this clue in your search
Aren't you coming with us?
I am only a watchdog
once I step outside these gates
I'll be doomed. Very fragile,
I can't take hardships
Jester!
Wind, your Wind Kick lacks practicaI experience
Therefore, on this journey
be carefuI and obey Frost
I understand
Cloud,
You have a different mission
I await your orders
Fong in Unchallenged City wishes
to become our ally
I told him
I wanted his Unchallenged Sword as a token
It's his birthday, so go to Unchallenged City
I will bring back the Unchallenged Sword
I want more than that...
Bring back Fong's head
Can you do it?
Yes, Master
You have achieved 70% of your power with your Cloud Palms
You can succeed,
with Hawk's and Bat's help
Father, I want to go, too
Charity, what is it?
If they can go, why can't I?
I see...
Would you like to go with Wind, or Cloud?
You are going to kill, leave me out
Wind, I'll go with you
We're not going to play
Neither am I
We'll help out the weak and be heroes
These are not the teachings of the Clan
Jester, be quiet
Prepare to leave tomorrow
Yes Yes, Master
Charity, stay
Cloud
Have you been to the forbidden Sword Grave with Charity?
Yes, but please don't tell Master
Chase me, Grandfather!
Little Pigtails, don't run!
old Man, we'll be fighting here Leave quickly
Surround him!
I respect you as a Shaolin monk
Give me the Fire Monkey!
What a pity
No one can turn down
an order from the Unchallenged City
"To find Mud Buddha, first seek the Fire Monkey"
Why do you want to find Mud Buddha?
It is my father's 60th birthday
I want Mud Buddha to wish him well
and tell him he will live for a hundred years
Life is determined by fate
If Mud Buddha were to tell him
he will die on his birthday,
then what?
Nonsense!
Unchallenged City is at its strongest
Together with Conquer's Clan, Father will rule the martiaI arts world
Soon, even you Shaolin monks will have to let us have our way
Fire Monkey belongs to the Shaolin Temple
Mud Buddha stole it, so he must return it
If you refuse to hand it over, you might not return to Shaolin!
I am Whispering Wind Pardon my interference
Let's go
They're about to fight. Let's go
old Man, stay and watch what happens
You don't know what is out there
It may be more dangerous
Who dares to be so arrogant?
What a pity
Wind Kick, Frost Fist
Don't you recognise the Masters of Conquer's Clan?
I thought you are all one family
Sometimes, quantity doesn't mean anything
We'll soon...
be one family
Why fight among yourselves?
Don't talk nonsense
Don't associate yourself with us
All of you against one monk?
You can't possibly be good men
You're saying we take advantage of our numbers?
Frost, have we gone too far?
I don't think so I've only disabled their powers
Buddha have pity!
Your Holiness, this is my first quest
Please make it easy on me and lend me Fire Monkey
I promise to return it in a month
I told you it belongs to the Shaolin Temple
If you must take it,
then how are you any different from those people?
Without Fire Monkey, we can't find Mud Buddha
What shall I tell my Master?
You too are looking for Mud Buddha?
You have no respect for me!
That's right!
Shut up!
Your Holiness, please help us We need Fire Monkey
I'm sorry but I cannot oblige
Then, excuse us
Excuse us
Firey!
You can insult me some more if you want
Now that I have Fire Monkey. I'm leaving
Wind!
Forget him
Why?
We only needed the Fire Monkey in order to find Mud Buddha
Now that he is already here,
why bother?
Sir, please do not disguise anymore
So you recognise me
I know you're a famous master of disguise
To keep clam
in the face of such chaos...
you're no ordinary man,
and when the innocent girI
cried out to the monkey,
we knew
Grandpa, where are they taking Firey?
Don't worry, they won't hurt him
I revealed too many secrets about the future
and was punished by heaven with boils all over my body
only Fire Monkey can suck out the poison
and ease my pain
Please bring it back to me
Don't worry, sir. We'll try our best
That's good to know
Let's go
Lord Conquer must be anxious to see me
After you
Master Fong, you are a great man
3,000 advisors LoyaI subjects everywhere
You have all good things one can desire
on this birthday
your only son Ming has given you
a 3-day banquet,
but why is he not here celebrating?
He's out...
looking for Mud Buddha
Has Conquer's Clan sent anyone?
Not yet, Master
Young Master, mission complete
Master Fong looks very happy
Everyone from Unchallenged City is there,
except his only son Ming
We'll strike at 4 a. m.
Yes, sir!
