ln Ming Dynasty, 22nd year of Emperor Sun.
There was a civil war in Japan among the generals.
One of the generals, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
United Japan.
Some generals decided to rebel.
They left their hometown
and gathered in South China,
while awaiting for an opportunity to attack.
They also helped the local rebels in their battle
against the local government.
- Announce my order. - Yes.
I represent the imperial court.
The arms they stole were by the imperial court
from Holland.
If they return the arms,
I can beg the emperor to show them mercy.
- Otherwise, they will all be killed. - Yes, sir.
This is the message from his exellency:
The arms you stole belong to the imperial court.
You'll be exempted from capital punishment if you return them.
Otherwise, all of you will be killed.
Have you finished?
How can you talk to me like that? How dare you?
I'll teach you a lesson with my Dutch battleship!
Who sent the signal?
My battleship!
Hong!
Who is it?
Invincible East.
Invincible East!
Master.
Send the signal.
Master, we've got a signal from Hattori.
Chimp! I'll send you to negotiate with them.
If they wish to join me, spare their lives.
- Otherwise, - Chief...
- Kill them! - Yes, Chief.
Chimp, let's see who is faster.
Senior...
Senior, watch out
You're drinking while riding.
I'm afraid you'll crash onto a hill one day.
Bull shit! Just watch out for yourself.
After this hill, we'll reach our destination.
You said the same thing when we passed by the last two hills.
Are you really sure this time?
I don't know. There are so many hills!
We'd better keep on riding.
Flying skill!
Don't block my way!
Sword energy?
Get away!
Senior!
Don't be afraid, just stay claim.
Oh God, my wine!
Senior! Wait for me!
Hey, you have spilt my wine. You'll have to pay for it.
Or at least, apologize.
Go down and negotiate with the imperial troops.
Leave this guy to me.
Yes, sir.
I am very powerful. Aren't you afraid for me?
You nearly got me killed and I'm now without wine.
Tell me, should I value my life or my wine?
What an alcoholic! Ha!
Oh, he just ran away!
I thought there's a chance he would compensate me!
You only care about your wine.
lsn't my life more valuable?
You know martial arts, but my wine doesn't.
Be understanding.
Oh my horse.
My poor dead horse.
You've always endured hardship without complaining.
You are not involved in the conflicts of the world, but you still died so tragically.
Where is justice?
It's not easy being a human. But being a horse is worse.
Sigh, dear horse, you spent your life getting whipped,
but now you finally get your well-deserved rest.
You seem quite comfortable.
I may end up like you one day...
or even worse.
- My body might be left in the open...or might not even be found. - Stop...
Well, who knows?
Don't talk about something impossible.
Oh, no more wine.
How can I sleep without wine?
You still want to sleep?
Stop, Senior. Be serious!
This horse is an old friend of ours...
and yet you don't seem to feel sad about his death.
What old friend?
Your horse threw you down a few days ago...
and you wanted to get rid of him.
You almost wanted to sell him.
That's in the past.
You have no empathy.
I understand. Men drink wine, horses eat grass.
lnstead of incense, let's burn grass to feed him in heaven.
Do you mean it?
Sure! Horses don't drink wine.
Otherwise he would get drunk!
Let's take the dry grass, they burn faster.
They will reach heaven sooner.
Dinner time, brother.
Senior, you are fooling around again.
- Junior, - I'm not talking to you.
Well, just listen.
We have been separated from our sworn brothers for a year.
All of us have been looking for a suitable place for our retreat.
I do not know how they have been getting on.
Luckily, we found Ox Mountain.
We can go into retreat there and live in seclusion.
Wind and snow, why force us?
Heroes do not last forever.
The outside world is so ugly.
We won't come back anymore.
Ever-lasting heroes?
Well, some lullaby for you.
Tomorrow we'll hurry to the Miao territory.
to meet with our sworn brothers.
I wonder if they are already asleep now.
Can you play something else?
'Laughing at the Ways of the World'
Your mind is still on that Miao girl?
Sigh...
It's always the same old song, same old tune...
I don't really care whether we live in seclusion.
As long as I am with you.
Why do you keep saying that?
''The seas laugh, lashing on both shores.''
''Canned in the waves, we have only here and now.''
''The heavens laugh at the troubled world.''
''Only they know, who is to win or lose.''
''The earth laughs, no more solitude.''
''The waves wash away all the beauties in the world.''
''The wind laughs, loneliness comes.''
''Our aspiration overcomes the moon.''
Chief!
Chief,
I was at the hills but could not any sounds of horses.
I think Ling won't come tonight.
Blue Phoenix.
I've got it, we'll keep on waiting.
That's good.
Wait!
It's been a year, you people play this song every day.
You're making me dizzy!
When Ling reaches here, I'll ask him to play the song too.
To make you all dizzy. Smile!
No matter how powerful you are.
You are still a woman.
What did you say?
Oh... er, listen carefully, Chief...
I think I hear horses.
Come up.
Oh no!
Chief.
You are not allowed to speak for three days.
If you speak...
You will lose your tongue.
Have some wine.
You like wine, don't you?
I know you'll start talking nonsense after a few drinks.
Then I'll cut off your tongue and mix it with my wine.
Why don't you drink?
Show me your tongue.
Put your tongue in the wine gourd.
Your tongue will eventually get cut off. So you should get used to it.
Put your tongue back into the wine gourd.
Well, I'm going to lose my tongue anyway. So I'm prepared to die.
Chief, tell Ling that you like him.
Ask him to stay with you, and you will not be lonely anymore.
I've finished my speech.
He wants to go into seclusion.
But I'm still involved with the conflicts of the world.
He can give up everything, but I cannot.
A lot has happened in the Sun Moon Sect lately.
My father has disappeared.
How can a Chief like me just leave like that?
I smell danger.
Chief!
Alert everyone!
Sound the alarm.
Go up the roof.
- On guard, everybody. - Right!
Come in at your own risk.
Attack!
Watch out!
- Flying weapons! - Right!
Japanese ninjas!
Here they come, watch out!
They're coming our way.
Spread out, we have to change our strategy.
You send me scorpions and I'll give you snakes in return.
Come back.
Who are you?
You want to hide?
Come out!
Good work.
''The Whirlwind Blow''.
Sword energy?
''The Slaying Sword.''
Watch me!
Good skills!
''The Slaying Sword.''
''The Recoiling Whip.''
Who are you? What do you have against us?
Spit it out.
''Twin Swords.''
''The Flying Bomb.''
Chief.
- Blue Phoenix! - Come this way.
You better walk fast.
''The Flying Bomb.''
Looks like Ying's whip.
She must be in trouble, let's look for her.
Right, I'll go the other way.
Who is it?
Oh, it's you.
Why are you still with me? I thought we agreed to spread out?
We nearly injured each other.
Yes, I'm afraid we would accidentally injure each other.
So, to prevent that,
We'd better use a secret code from now on.
ln case anything happens...
We can avoid any mishap.
What's the secret code?
If you are in danger,
- say your own name. - Good, that's too easy!
Ha, what kind of plan is that? Ha, she's pretending to be more experienced than she really is.
Get away!
Why didn't you say your name?
That was our agreed code.
I panicked and forgot my name.
Why were you screaming?
I saw a few dead bodies over there.
Dead bodies?
Where's your sword?
I left it at the horse's grave. We're going to live in seclusion, aren't we?
Follow me.
It's over there.
There are indeed many dead bodies.
Scorpion!
It's perfect for my wine.
It would make my wine very strong.
Go in.
Fighting's still going on down there.
Take this, don't come down unless I say the code.
Where are you heading?
The Hua Mountain Swordplay.
Watch out.
- ''The Dragon Returns to the Ocean''. - ''The Seven-Star Rotation''.
- The Hua Mountain Swordplay? - Right.
Who are you?
I'm Ling.
Ling? That's the secret code!
''The Flight of the Star''.
Wait a minute.
It's a mistake!
Another attack!
We're all on the same side.
Get up, they are our sworn brothers.
Good thing your skills are not very good,
Or there would be more dead bodies here.
Buck-tooth, Scum Bag and Luke, you're here.
Our own people fighting each other?
Wear your shoe.
She is a few inches taller now.
She can't fit into our pants now.
Stop growing taller!
Shrink a bit!
- Taller... - Shorter...
My turn now!
I can see that, it's not your turn.
Luke, was this place already like this
when you arrived?
Yes, but the was still smoke.
Looks like the assault was just before Invincible East.
Where is Chief Ying?
We did not see her body. She must have been kidnapped.
Big brother, look at this weapon.
This is not a Chinese weapon.
Look at this, it doesn't look like a sabre or a sword.
There is a horde of Japanese soldiers in the vicinity.
Do these belong to them?
Brother, this belongs to the Sun Moon Sect.
Chief Ying must have been kidnapped.
lt's feud between the Sun Moon Sect and the Japanese.
We can't get involved all the time.
Chief Ying is our friend.
We should help as much as possible.
lt's a never-ending story!
Ok, stop. Let us get something to eat first.
There must be food in here.
- Let's cook a meal. - Fine.
Kiddo...have you seen her?
She seems to be in the toilet.
She must be upstairs.
Always calling me Kiddo. Don't I look like a girl?
A lady usually buns up her hair.
Where is Kiddo?
Kiddo, where are you?
I'm coming.
Such a nuisance!
Hold on, don't fall over.
Have you seen Kiddo?
Are you blind?
Help!
My foot hurts.
I haven't seen you people for a year. Why have all of you become crazy?
What wrong with you?
What happened to her hair? She now has three heads.
Don't say that, you'd be in trouble!
What's up?
Look at me when talking to me.
Forget it, nothing.
Nothing...
She doesn't behave like a male or a female.
She's too used to wearing our trousers.
She is pitiful!
Chilli pepper!
When we were young, she used to lend her trousers...
to you too.
Stop mentioning the past.
Too spicy?
This smells like flowers.
Flowers?
Miao flowers?
That's rouge.
It belongs to Kiddo.
Where did it go?
Hide it, quick!
All gone?
Replace it with chilli powder.
- What's up? - Nothing.
- Good. - What's the matter?
Are you sure?
Really sure?
Really, are you alright?
Fine.
They are weird!
Hey, what about those two who went hunting in the nearby village,
why aren't they back yet?
There are bunnies and pheasants.
- Someone's coming. - Let me see.
Soldiers!
Sir, there is an inn ahead of us.
Brother...
What's the matter?
There are soldiers approaching.
What should we do?
Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything wrong.
Well, how do you explain the dead bodies?
Can you explain?
What should we say?
The soup is boiling!
The soup is boiling, and we're in trouble!
What should we do? They're coming our way.
The soldiers will treat us murder suspects.
We cannot let them identify us.
Let's mask ourselves and fight out way out.
What nonsense!
Stop!
Didn't we decide never to get involved in conflicts again? We shouldn't talk about killing.
Pack up and escape through the back.
I know, bring more wine.
Fetch it, quick.
What about the soup?
Take the whole pot with us.
- Where is Scum Bag? - He is bathing.
What to do?
Such a nuisance, I'll get him.
Hurry up.
Sir.
There's smoke. Someone must be inside.
Please give your orders.
We've been surrounded, Scum Bag.
Let's go.
- My pants! - Forget them, run for your life.
They're coming in, should we wait for Scum Bag?
Let's lie down and play dead.
OK, hurry up.
Sir, I hear the sound of horses outside.
Perhaps this is an ambush.
- Leave two men here to check for survivors. - Yes sir.
- The rest of you, follow me. - Yes sir.
We've checked, there're no survivors.
Definitely no survivors!
They're gone. Get up!
I need to check on my horse. I can't let them take him away.
The soup is delicious, but oh, my poor foot!
- Go after him! - Yes.
Inform the troops to stop that man.
Hurry up, he's ahead of us.
Big brother!
The soldiers are after him, let's help him.
Get yourselves armed.
Can anyone lend me a sword?
- Where's my sword? - Hurry up.
- There's a sword here. - Hey, it's mine.
I can lend you my trousers but I can't lend you my sword.
We'll take turns using it.
What's wrong?
Ling must have gone to save Ying.
- Let's go. - He's an alcoholic and a womaniser!
What's wrong?
what strange weather!
Here it comes again!
Ok, I'll join in the fun.
With the Sacred Volume,
I'll rule the world.
''The Wavering Sword''.
Hey, my wine.
What does that mean?
You're feeding the fish with my wine?
Good.
Excellent wine.
Perfect wine!
Good wine deserves to be drunk by connoisseurs like us.
My name is Ling.
Miss, what's your name?
Miss, do you have your reasons for not telling me your name?
Ok, I'll give you a nickname.
Like...
Miss, are you trying to catch a fish too?
Let's chat a bit more.
You babble too much, youngster.
You are trespassing in my territory.
I'll spare your life if you show your face and explain your reasons.
That man is highly-skilled. He can speak from afar.
It's too early to tell if he is a friend or foe. Do you know who he is?
That man seems to be after me, stay away from this.
When I come back I'll give you a nickname.
Hi, I'm here.
Unlike you, I can't speak from afar. Can you hear me?
Can you?
1 , 2, 3, looks like he can't hear me.
Miss.
She must have sneaked out to play by the beach.
You've been with me for so many years,
but it's only today that I notice how ugly you look.
Don't worry, I won't abandon the old.
I've got another gourd to keep you company.
You won't be lonely from now on.
So many dead animals? Let me roast one of them.
Where does the smell come from?
Who is it? Brother!
What a coincidence, all of you are roasting birds too.
Fortunately we are here.
I guess there has just been a heavy shower.
The birds have been washed down by the rain.
Big brother.
Close you eyes! We have no clothes on.
No big deal!
I've even seen someone without trousers.
Oh...your ass has lost its value!
You've even seen him naked.
You are worse than a lecher!
You are now neither a woman nor a man!
You can be a tranvestite.
Why are all of you here?
Kiddo said you've gone to save Chief Ying.
He's always thinking of that Chief Ying!
Since we're all sworn brothers, we must go together.
But aren't we going to live in seclusion?
We can try to save our friend without resorting to violence.
But what if we're attacked, do we flee?
If we cannot flee, we have to fight.
This means we have to fight.
This means violence.
OK...We'll be forced to use violence.
Ok, let's all go to save Chief Ying.
But everyone must swear that
this will be the last time you fight.
Or, we'll not go.
I swear!
Everyone has made a vow, so no one can break his word.
Or you'll get a boil on your butt.
lt's chilli pepper!
- lt's spicy! - Ha, she's putting on make-up!
I haven't tasted the food of my hometown for so long. I missed it.
We can't be defeated by our enemies!
Your general Kai was a military genius.
But he wasn't appreciated by your stupid emperor.
lnstead, he was demoted and later died of illness.
There are now no capable men in the imperial court.
It's silly to send small fry like you,
To challenge me.
I think the reign of the Han Chinese is coming to an end.
How dare you, a Miao dog,
criticize the imperial court in front of me?
Ha, you dare call us dogs in front of us?
Look up. Can you see our military banner?
It'll soon be placed on top of your emperor's head.
Are you starting a rebellion!?
Yes, we are.
Including the Miaos, there are a total of six minority tribes.
The Han Chinese always bully us.
Throughout history, the birth of every dynasty has been due to rebellion.
Don't think that
by allying with the Japanese,
you can rebel against the imperial court!
We've an agreement with the Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyoshi
To fight against you.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi?
Haha, he is busy fighting the Koreans.
He can't come on time to save you.
By the time he arrives, I would be the new ruler here.
I will then fight him.
Shoot!
Help, I don't want to be a Han Chinese!
Even worse than a Miao dog.
You are still so stubborn.
I want you to repeat after me. The Miaos have the right to rebel.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous?
Oh, I missed.
Never mind! We have a lot of ammunition.
- The Miaos have the right to rebel! - Chief.
Sun Moon Sect! Long live the Sun Moon Sect!
We have been given the divine mandate.
I have been granted supernatural powers. Just like the sun rising from the east, I'm the Invincible East!
- Master Hattori. - Yes.
Eunuch Hong.
Gold?
Invincible East!
What kind of games are you playing? Please come straight to the point.
We gave a box of gold to Eunuch Hong.
But he decided to put his own head in it.
As for you, take half of the gold
and give the remainder to your superiors.
Try to cook up a story to explain to the imperial court
about the arms we stole.
Actually,
we've already bribed most of your officials.
Go back and wait for my orders.
If you do not obey me,
be aware that the Sun Moon Sect has many powerful members.
You might get beheaded in your sleep.
You don't have much choice anyway.
Leave.
Chief, take a look.
Someone has sneaked inside.
Attack!
Your pulse is now under my control.
If you move, you'll be crippled.
Chimp, we've an agreement!
You help me to power.
And I'll help you against Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
So that you can regain power in Japan.
I thought you have been loyal.
But obviously you have other motives.
I know that there's a martial arts manual in China -
It's called the Sacred Volume, and it's with you.
I want to read that manual
and see what it's all about.
Very well, but don't regret after you've read it.
Agreed.
Chief!
- Please don't lose your temper - No one knows that I have hidden the Sacred Volume under your clothes.
Who are you?
I come from the Kyoto.
Me too.
Really?
So we came from the same place.
What did he say?
Go ask him yourself.
Have you found Ying?
I can't understand their language. How can I find out more?
Watch out!
What have your discovered?
That we've been discovered.
- What'll we do then? - Let's go.
Where are my friends?
Anybody from the Kyoto?
Brother, he is tailing us. What do we do?
Take him somewhere and finish him off.
Stop talking, let's go
The Japanese is gone.
Are we walking too fast?
Should I go back for him?
Ok, you go.
Go! Hurry up.
Wait for me! Wait!
Where are you from?
What next?
I came from Kyoto.
Me too.
We came from the same place, go ahead.
We came from the same place.
Get into our sword formation!
Han Chinese swords?
''Rotation of the Stars''.
Sword energy!
Separating Sword.
Great swordplay!
Dragon in the sky?
- What's this? - Swaying sword.
Breaking sword.
Attacking sword!
Stop...
We're both using Han Chinese weapons.
You aren't Japanese.
Was that the swordplay of Hua Mountain Sect?
Don't tell him.
He is so evil looking.
Let's confuse him.
''The seas laugh.''
''Lashing on both shores.''
How do you know this song?
I'm from the Sun Moon Sect.
Are you?
Have you come to look for Chief Ying?
She's looking for her father and she is still in the Miao territory. Follow me.
- Big brother, beware of lies. - Let's play it by ear.
Oh dear, we've really found her.
Ling?
- Ling? - Blue Phoenix?
Go and see the Chief now.
She'd be very happy to see you.
Ying.
Ling?
Let me!
Sister Ying, we haven't seen each other for a year.
We all miss you!
You have lost weight.
Kiddo why are you so affectionate today?
Blue Phoenix!
- Me! - I am not Blue Phoenix.
No difference.
No, it's different.
What's the feud between the Sun Moon Sect and the Japanese?
Why are you risking your lives by staying near the Japanese?
After my father disappeared,
My uncle, Invincible East, made himself the Chief.
Invincible East is allied with the Japanese. They stole arms from the imperial court.
We're now wanted by the imperial court.
If my father was indeed kidnapped by Invincible East.
I think he'd be guarded by the Japanese.
The soldiers from the imperial court discovered us in the inn.
They probably thought we are from the Sun Moon Sect.
If Invincible East had planned to seize power.
I'm afraid that your father, Chief Ren, has already been killed.
No, my father has many faithful followers.
Invincible East is keeping my father alive so that he can control them.
And then kill them one by one.
Many members have disappeared or committed suicide.
We'd have to find Chief Ren as soon as possible.
Or else after Invincible East has killed all the loyal followers,
He'll kill Chief Ren.
It's another story of power struggle.
Listen.
Someone is coming. Sing...
ln order to find Chief Ren...
I disfigured my face and infiltrated the Japanese ranks.
I've checked so many places.
But I could not find any clues.
Maybe he is not here.
I recently found a well-guarded place.
But I can't break in on my own.
He is hinting that he needs your help. Don't fall for it and don't promise him anything.
Big mouth.
We can't always help everyone.
We'd better leave.
We've sworn never to meddle in the conflicts of the martial arts world.
But this is considered our last mission.
We're still in.
We'd only go into retreat when we reach Ox Mountain.
So should we get involved?
Outsiders should not interfere with our sect affairs.
One year ago, we parted and promised to meet again today.
Now that you have arrived,
You can happily leave.
There is no need to feel sorry for us.
Leave!
Blue Phoenix, go after her.
Senior, what do we do?
There are too many of us and we'll be easily discovered.
You guys leave first. I'll go with Zen to look for Master Ren.
Senior, you're breaking your oath.
We all made an oath, didn't we?
You all did, but I didn't!
- You fooled us! - Brother.
I just go an take a look.
I will definitely leave for Ox Mountain tomorrow.
If I break my word, I'll get two boils on my butt.
Zen, let's go.
He'll definitely get the boils on his butt!
Invincible East's men recognize you.
Zen and I will investigate. It's less likely for us to be discovered.
Ling!
Do you remember the song, 'Laughing at the Ways of the World'?
I told you that I'd wait for you to play it for me.
I'll wait for you.
Great!
Chief. after practicing the skills of the Sacred Volume.
Although you are a man.
your skin has become smooth and soft.
Why do you look at me so fiercely?
Don't mention my transformation again.
The Han Chinese have always looked down on us, the Miaos.
What we're doing now,
is for the future good of our people.
Forgive me, I do not have your vision.
You haven't slept with me for 6 months.
I thought that you have lost interest in me.
I thought that you've forgotten me, Cici.
I work very hard for our people.
But how many people will remember me, Invincible East?
All the people are ungrateful.
So why do you still work so hard for those ungrateful people?
Because the world is so beautiful,
many heroes are willing to sacrifice for it.
Do you think your chief, Master Ren
is imprisoned inside?
The one inside might be the terrible Invincible East.
There are many highly-skilled guards around.
We must split up.
Let's leave it to fate.
Sword, hammer, shield. Best two of three. Begin!
- Sword. - Hammer.
Hammer wins.
- Shield. - Hammer!
Shield wins. I'll go inside, you'll guard outside.
Hmm, didn't expect to lost to you.
I'll settle this with you next time.
Watch out!
There's an intruder! Go hide yourself.
Miss, so it's you?
I'm Ling, remember me?
I'm the one who wanted to give you a nickname.
Do you remember me?
Did I scare you?
Lots of thread.
lt's getting longer and longer. What do we have here?
This dragon is nicely sewn. The dragon matches the phoenix.
Let's see what else can be pulled out!
I've made a mistake. I'll help you.
Oops, there are two dragons now.
With two dragons together, the phoenix will be jealous.
I didn't come specially to look for you.
But actually, I do want to look for you.
Now that I've found you, I can come and look for you again in future.
ls this your room?
Don't tell me you're married?
Someone's coming.
We'll take revenge for Chimp.
Maybe Invincible East has discovered me,
and has sent his men to attack me.
I have brought danger to you.
lt's diffcult for me to talk to you in this situation.
Since it's dangerous here, why not allow me to take you out?
Let's split up and investigate.
Let's cover your face so that no one can recognise you.
Let's mingle with the crowd
so that no one can find us.
We've lost our pursuers.
Let's take a rest.
Now we can take our time to admire the moon.
I've brought along your wine gourd.
Why don't you speak?
Perhaps you are Japanese, you don't understand me?
Well, this might be a good thing after all. There are too many ways to cause misunderstands when people speak.
Some people do not speak from their heart.
That's the cause of all the conflicts in the world.
How do you know what I'm talking about?
We live in a troubled world.
Once we join this troubled world, we'll grow old in it.
Many people fight for power.
But I prefer to get drunk and be merry.
Maybe you will never understand what I'm saying.
Then we'll never be enemies.
If everybody is like us.
then there is no need for us to live in seclusion.
I'll handle him.
Chief, what's the matter?
I came from Kyoto!
What are you trying to do?
Miss!
Damn!
Time to eat.
Miss, is that you?
Don't talk or there won't be food for you.
Sun Moon Sect rules the world.
Long live the Sect.
Long live the Sun Moon Sect.
Long live the Sect.
Teacher, why don't you kill Ling?
I have my plans.
He came here to look for one person.
For her?
For you, teacher.
For me?
It's not moving.
Here's some meat.
Who are you? I'm Ling.
Master Ren!
I've finally found you!
Buddha, please help me.
Buddha is helping me!
How dare you play tricks on me! Go to hell!
I'm just kiddng, why are you so serious?
How dare you make fun of me? Go to hell.
Master Ren?
Master Ren!
Oh, this is terrible!
Don't be afraid.
Invincible East has locked my shoulder blades,
to prevent me from using my martial arts.
He only gives me water.
He keep me barely alive just to torture me.
Stop talking. I'll get you out first.
Master Ren!
Oh, you know him? That makes it convenient for us!
Kneel down, traitor!
Don't be afraid!
He's powerless.
His martial arts have been destroyed by Invincible East.
Capture him to get our reward!
Drag him!
Master Ren!
Ling, I'll kill Master Ren if you come closer.
The Energy Absorbing Skill?
We were forced by Invincible East to betray you.
Please spare us.
I want you to pay for it.
Please let them go.
I'm back!
- Brother. - Ling?
Father.
Welcome back, Chief.
Father.
Long live the Chief!
Zen.
Tell all my followers that
I'm back.
Tell them the truth and arrest the traitors.
Chief!
I'm afraid it'd be useless even if the truth is revealed.
Don't the people care about justice?
The people do not care about justice. It is power that determines what is right and wrong.
Some in the sect believe in justice.
like Yun,
His legs were broken by Invincible East,
and was thrown to Regret Cliff to guard the graves.
Bao did not approve of our alliance with the Japanese,
he was forced to admit his wrongdoings and was poisoned to death.
Tung disappeared over 20 days.
I think his corpse has been eaten by wolves.
Chiu was executed by having his body torn apart by horses.
His crimes were written on his tombstone, so that the sect members can mock him.
And Yang, your most loyal follower...
Yang?
What did they do to him? Tell me quick!
He was the first one to follow Invincible East.
He in now in charge of executions.
He keeps trying to find us.
Our followers are all afraid of him.
These two hooks,
were designed by him...
to incapacitate you.
Chief, Invincible East's martial arts have improved a lot.
I don't think we can defeat him.
Shut up!
Are you scared as well?
Chief. In order to find you,
Zen disfigured his face and ruined his voice to infiltrate the Japanese camp.
He also tried hard to contact me.
He did all these in order to save you.
I, Master Ren, has always been a hero.
I've never admitted defeat.
Invincible East, I'll kill you one day.
I'll cut your body into pieces, cut out your tongue and dig out your eyeballs.
I won't let you die so easily.
I want you to end up a cripple!
Ling!
What's the matter?
lt's our duty to kill villains.
We must work together
to kill the bastard!
If you promise me...
I can share my power and riches with you.
Master Ren, my brothers and I will be
going to Ox Mountain tomorrow. We intend to live in seclusion.
I don't think I can help you.
So it's true. People do not care about justice.
But our blood would not be shed for nothing.
Father!
I swear I will return these hooks to Invincible East.
- Someone's coming. - Watch out.
Dig...I want to rip out your eyeballs!
Rip out your heart, your lungs.
I've found it.
Who's it?
Come here.
The Sacred Volume!
Give it to me.
We're on the same side, Master Ren.
Same side? I was betrayed by someone I trusted.
Ling, you ask for it!
You troublemaker!
Our skills are almost even.
I might not lose.
We intend to leave tomorrow.
The affairs of your sect are none of my business.
I won't disclose your secret.
I can swear.
Brother, what's the matter?
Father!
Ling came to me at night
to ask for Ying's hand in marriage.
He has decided to stay,
so he is now one of us.
Kiddo, something's wrong.
You must be kidding!
Ying, won't go with me.
And I won't get involved in the conflicts of the martial arts world just because of her.
I will keep this joke of yours a secret.
Luckily, it's just a joke.
Master Ren, let's stop playing this game and let us retire for the night.
If you still don't trust me,
you can destroy my martial arts.
Destroy your martial arts?
Master Ren, you ungrateful guy.
Don't get close to me! He knows the Energy Absorbing Skill.
Very well! I'll destroy your martial arts.
Father, don't think that I'm fallen in love with Ling.
I'm only making use of him to help our sect.
I'm the Chief.
I'll kill myself in front of you before I agree to marry an outsider.
Don't be afraid, the joke is over.
Kiddo, since we can't sleep.
Let's pack up and sing songs through the night.
We'll leave at dawn.
I understand.
It's difficult to travel at night.
Ling, you'd better go first.
If I don't see you, I will not have the desire to make you stay.
I'll hope you and your brothers will leave safely at dawn.
- What happened just now... - I understand.
Sorry for offending your people.
Thank you for saving my father.
I won't see you off.
I understand.
Take care.
Chief...
Why don't you ask him where he is going?
He won't come back.
If you don't go after him, I will.
So you won't regret it in future.
Wine! I've forgotten my wine.
How could there be no wine?
I've got it! I'll go search for good wine.
He just left!
Chief, I've drawn a map.
To help you in your attack three days later.
I hope you will become our new emperor.
What have you become?!
Don't be afraid!
Why has your voice changed!
Is it because of The Sacred Volume?
No matter what I've become,
I will never forget you, CiCi.
What a beautiful world.
Heroes sacrifice for the world.
Now you finally understand.
Why I've stopped sleeping with you.
The Sacred Volume!
I will burn it.
Give it to me.
I gave you my most valuable possession, The Sacred Volume.
And you want to burn it?
What is going on?
The Sacred Volume!
So, you are just like all the people of the world.
You're all ungrateful.
Chief, I know I'm wrong.
- I'll follow you forever. - You won't.
Go now!
I was confused just now.
I'd rather die than be abandoned by you.
Who is it?
Ling!
Oh it,s you, and you can speak our language!
I'm bored so I want to have a drink with you.
But I did not expect this place to be...
What a coincidence.
I'm also troubled by this unpredictable world.
Since everything is so difficult to understand, let's forget about it.
Will leave here tomorrow.
And leave the troubles to the rest.
Are you willing to die for me?
There is no need for you to die. I want you to take my place and spend a night with Ling.
Life is like morning dew, it's hard for me to find a true friend.
Come on.
Don't let him discover that you're not me.
Let him remember me always.
I am coming in.
Where are you?
I am here.
- Wine, please. - Ling!
I didn't know your name.
Cici.
Cici?
You've crying.
Life is so short and unpredictable.
We're in the same boat.
It's just one night that I'm asking for, so why ask so much?
Long live...
I'm so glad that all the sect members have pledged loyalty to me.
Chief, your voice ...
I've fully mastered my supreme skills.
Our invasion of the North.
And the dream of our kingdom will come true soon.
Invincible East?
Master Ren, that old fox is useless now.
He'll ruin my plan only.
I've to kill him and all his followers.
Yes, sir.
I need to block my blood flow.
''The seas laugh, lashing on both shores.''
''Carried in the waves, we have only the here and now.''
''The heaven laugh at the troubled world.''
''Only they know, who is to win and lose.''
''The mountains laugh, the rain is affair.''
''When the waves grew old, the world still goes on.''
''The clean winds laugh, such a feeling of solitude.''
''My sentiments remain laughing still.''
''The earth laughs, solitude no more.''
Swordsmen treasure their swords more than their lives.
Why don't you treasure your swords?
We'll go into retreat tomorrow.
So our swords are useless to us.
Why don't you take the garlic and season the food?
Why the rush?
Drink less!
So that you will not delay your trip tomorrow.
Zen, is there anything that you find inconvenient to say?
No.
I just want to sing 'Laughing at the Ways of the World' with you till dawn.
Come!
Let's continue singing.
''The seas laugh, lashing on both shores.''
''Carried in the waves, me have only the here and now.''
I wonder, of all the people in this world, who can really stand by and laugh at the ways of this world?
Blue Phoenix!
Blue Phoenix, weren't you looking for Ling?
Blue Phoenix, go!
I hear something.
Father!
- I sense danger. - Danger?
Blue Phoenix is in trouble.
''The Slaying Sword''.
''The Whirlwind Blow''.
''The Flying Bomb''.
Trying to escape?
- Go out and have a look. - Where is Kiddo?
- He is outside. - Where is my sword?
The sword's so hot.
Leave with Blue Phoenix.
I know you are here, Invincible East.
Ren, we haven't met for half a year.
You must be mad at yourself for falling into my trap.
When you discovered that I'd got the Sacred Volume.
You were afraid that I'd master the skills in it.
So you decided to kill me.
Therefore, I decided to strike first
and usurp your position,
and then establish a kingdom for the Miaos.
I will be famous in history,
and it's all thanks to you, Ren.
I can tell from your voice that you are not Invincible East.
Who are you? Tell the real Invincible East to come out!
Supernatural power of The Sacred Volume.
Our swords!
There's a chicken on your sword.
It's done. We can eat now.
You've taken my sword by mistake.
- You said you don't want it anymore. - Take it!
How can you be so disorganised when facing your enemies?
You guys are useless!
Trouble ahead! Let's help Blue Phoenix.
Blue Phoenix.
She is seriously hurt! Let's carry her.
Chief!
Cici...
Ling?
Long live the sect.
''The Flying Bomb''.
''The Whirlwind Blow.''
''Energy Absorbing Skill!''
Zen.
Blue Phoenix, you're seriously hurt!
- Master Ren. - Luke, don't go there.
You Japanese, it's a mistake to follow Invincible East.
You were defeated by the Chief.
You are not qualified to challenge him.
Chief, I think Invincible East has come.
He may be nearby.
We cannot involve the Hua Mountain disciples.
Don't stay with us, leave quickly!
Let's go together.
Our feud with Invincible East runs deep.
We can't leave like you do.
Blue Phoenix is seriously injured.
Please take her with you.
You had better go now, find some herbs to cure her.
Or, it'd be too late.
Blue Phoenix, if you come back and find us dead.
You must avenge us.
Go! Hurry up!
Very well.
Let's go!
Take care.
''The Slaying Sword''.
Energy Absorbing Skill!
''The Flying Bomb''.
''Division''
''Energy Absorbing Skill''.
Timber.
Tell mes, where is Invincible East?
I won't say a word!
Invincible East, come out!
Kill! I want to kill...
Father! Stop! you've not yet recovered.
Chief! There's still time for revenge later.
For the sake of the Sun Moon Sect, please calm down.
I beg you!
I've endured enough!
Hurry up!
Master Ren, I'm coming.
Was she the one who attacked you?
I'll take revenge for you.
Take Blue Phoenix away, and don't let Ling come back.
Go! Kiddo!
I thought we are not supposed to be involved in this?
- Bull shit! Get into the Sword formation. - Yes...
Don't tell me this is Invincible East?
But Invincible East should be a man.
Scum bag.
You've been tricked! Master Ren has left.
Brother.
The inn is on fire.
Damn! Could Master Ren have done something to harm my brothers?
Cici, I'll come back for you at dawn.
I want to join my brothers.
I'm not going to Ox Mountain.
If you see Ling, tell him not to wait for me.
I've released my blood flow.
The poisoned blood is now running through my whole body.
I can't be cured.
I want to die together with Invincible East.
Blue Phoenix...
We can no longer sing 'Laughing at the Ways of the World'.
Blue Phoenix! Let's hurry!
I'll find a doctor to cure you.
I'll take you to Ox Mountain.
Let's live in seclusion.
Chief, I haven't left you.
I'm happy that you've returned.
Sing, let's sing!
''The seas laugh...''
My brothers!
You are now living in seclusion.
Goodbye.
Ling, you do not understand the ways of the world.
Your enemies are afraid that you will take revenge.
No matter where you run to, they will not let you off.
Invincible East!
Invincible East has 30,000 troops stationed at Blackwood Cliff.
They are waiting for his orders.
He wants to be the emperor.
We're going to attack Blackwood Cliff tomorrow. We might not be able to return.
Invincible East has mastered the skills of The Sacred Volume.
How powerful is he?
Brother Ling,
do you want to take a look at The Sacred Volume,
And see what it is all about?
Would you let me have a look?
Take it.
Sure!
When Invincible East and I got hold of
The Sacred Volume together,
I secretly made a
copy of it.
He never knew about that.
''In order to practise the skills of The Sacred Volume, one must first castrate himself.''
Self-castration...
Master Ren!
Invincible East is so smart and cunning.
He tortured me.
But in the end, he became a victim of his own ambitions.
In order to learn the skills of The Sacred Volume, he's willing to castrate himself.
He is no longer a man!
For this Sacred Volume. Our teacher betrayed us.
So, my brothers and I decided to live in seclusion.
Seclusion?
If your children decide to learn martial arts,
and get involved in
the conflicts of the world,
Can you stop them?
The next generation? I've never thought of it.
As long as people exist,
there will be conflicts.
That is why there are always troubles in this world.
How can you get away from all these?
The Sun Moon Sect conquers the world.
Long live the sect.
Long live the Sun Moon Sect.
Long live the Sect.
Master Ren is going to attack...
Blackwood Cliff.
The guards have been killed.
They'll soon be here.
They are just small fry.
They have arrived.
I'm going to kill these traitors!
Those who go against me will die!
Swaying sword!
The "Nine Swords of Dugu?"
Attacking sword!
Cici!
Ling!
Are you Invincible East?
Yes, that's him!
It cannot be!
Ying!
Why don't you greet your uncle?
No, you should call her auntie.
The Han Chinese always bully the Miao people.
Now you bring Han Chinese to BlackWood Cliff...
to interfere in the affairs of the Sun Moon Sect.
How can you face your ancestors?
You allied with the Japanese to kill our followers.
And you dare even mention our ancestors!
If the Miaos can rule the Han Chinese,
I, Invincible East, will be famous forever.
There is no need to say anymore. If we can solve problems with words, then there is no need for us to fight.
But before the duel, I want to know one thing.
Were you the one who spent the night with me?
Senior, you...
You two slept together?
Laugh all you want.
We live in a troubled world.
Once we join this troubled world, we'll grow old in it.
Many people fight for power.
But I prefer to get drunk and be merry.
The Sacred Volume is actually a big joke.
Why don't you share the joke with all of us?
Senior, let me ask you. Is that person a man or a woman?
How could you have slept with her?
Ling, you know that this is the business of our sect.
Why you helping them to attack me?
I want to avenge my brothers.
Your brothers?
She's trying to delay us.
I saw you kill my brothers.
Actually, the Hua Mountain students are not involved in your conflict.
Yet they were killed for no reason.
You must pay with your life!
Be careful!
Energy Absorbing Skill.
Your dogs have been killed by you.
Be careful!
Chief!
Zen!
Watch my hooks!
I'll return the hooks to you!
You've become even more vicious after you turned into a woman.
If you're not careful, you might end up as a bee, and lose your life after you kill.
I may be vicious, but your Energy Absorbing Skill is worse.
My skills are meant to take your life. Unlike yours, which is meant to seduce men.
Ling already has Ying and Kiddo.
Even if he wants you, you'll be the third in line.
Traitor!
Father!
Energy Absorbing Skill.
Father!
Be careful!
Ling, my feelings for you are true.
I held back my attacks.
and yet, you went all out to injure me?
Why don't you answer your lover?
We are facing our enemy. We should stop arguing among ourselves.
Senior, why didn't you attack her weak point?
You were holding back too, didn't you?
Regardless of who you are, there can be no love between us,
only hatred and vengeance.
Ha!
Are you doing this for revenge, or for those two girls?
You ungrateful guy!
I want you to see the two girls die
in front of you.
The wall will collapse soon.
Hurry up, to the roof!
It is not safe here!
Invincible East!
The whirling sword!
Merciful hand!
Attacking sword!
The reversing sword!
Who can you save?
You ungrateful guy, why do you save me?
I just want to ask you...
Were you the one who spent the night with me?
I will not tell you, I want you to remember me.
I want you to regret this your entire life.
Cici!
- Cici! - Ling...
Tell me, you are Cici.
Sun Moon Sect will rule the world.
Long live...
Master Ren, our Chief!
Long live...
He's become another Invincible East.
- Hang Invincible East up! - Yes.
Please forgive us
- Yang, kneel! - Yuan, kneel!
- Lee, kneel! - Chi, kneel!
Seto, kneel!
Bring the followers of Invincible East here.
- And kill them! - Yes!
Those betrayed me will be killed!
- Zen! - Chief Master Ren.
Anybody else in the list?
Fan, Ching, Lin,
Lui, Hoi, Cheung,
Lee, Kan, Win...
Master Ren, Tung, Yang, kneel!
- Ling! - Ying.
Ling, you must leave now!
What's the matter?
You are on the list.
Father does not trust any Han Chinese.
He is now in power again.
He won't let you go.
I'll show you the way.
If you don't even trust me, who else can you trust?
Ling, follow me, quick!
Let's go!
The boat is leaving. Take the tea to the boat.
Ling, you can't go to Ox Mountain.
My father will never let you off.
You are also wanted by the imperial court.
If you want to live in seclusion, The only way is to go to Japan.
What? Japan?
Japan?
You gave me this lute.
I cannot play your favorite song for you in future.
Please take it back.
Ling!
Zen!
Ling, our Chief wants you back.
Otherwise you have to leave behind your head.
Let me handle it!
- Ying! - I'm fine.
Willow sword.
Ha, you let me win on purpose.
I'm honoured to be killed by a hero.
Go ahead!
I'm not interested in such games anymore.
Zen!
Ling, since I'm unable to capture you,
I have to hack off my arm to answer to Master Ren.
But I envy you, for you can leave here.
Go now! Someone's coming.
The ship is ready to set sail.
Please leave me alone and go!
Go!
Ying, let's go together?
Your father won't let you go if he knows that you've helped us escape.
But I am his daughter,
I have to stay with the Sun Moon Sect.
The ship has set sail, please let go.
