Bring Your Emblems Along!
It's foggy, We can't see anything for miles!
Listen, Kau Lin Mountain is dangerous,
You could fall right off a cliff, hidden in the fog. Ask someone to lead the way.
Reverend, I hear the sound of horses!
But the sound bounces off, and I can't determine their direction.
Be on the alert!
- Reverend, are they robbers? - Not necessarily, but to avoid misunderstanding,
lets show our flag.
Shaolin of Songshan
Yi Yang-zi, where is yours?
Our flag?
What for ? It is just the two of us.
It's different for you, as your group is larger in numbers!
Show the flags. Go and take a look.
They are coming, ask first, don't mess up.
Oh, they are Shaolin monks from Songshan.
It's Kongtong martial arts school of Hanbei. Don't worry.
Luckily the Shaolin guys didn’t miss the timing
We are short in time, I don't want to cause any trouble.
Right, we want to avoid a fight at all costs.
Who are these two men? They don't seem to be your students.
This is the Taoist Yi Yang-zi, The master of the Diancang School,
And his disciple Ma Jun-wu.
Diancang School? We rarely hear that name around here.
What ?! Have you come to the congregation without your flag?
Master, I think we'd better make a flag.
How can you fall over so easily ?
- That's not the question, but in the martial arts world... - But how do we make a flag?
This piece of rag will do.
Got anything to write on it with ?
Use blood, it symbolizes sincerity.
- Won't it be too messy? - No.
What are you doing?
Use your blood!
- Who said that? - Don't humiliate us.
Master Chang-guan, let's hurry now.
- Yes, don't waste time. - Let's go.
See that astonishing team! Could we possibly be their match ?
But we can't miss it, it's a meeting summoned by the court.
There is turmoil in the martial arts world, we have to carve our territories again.
So the 9 martial arts schools gather to make their claims.
If we don't appear there, our territory will be taken over by others.
I don't know why you insist on maintaining our school?
Our mountain is poor of resources .
You should inform all our disciples, that we’ll be closing down the school!
So they can do as they please- become bodyguards or street performers...
All our students are having family burdens. Don't keep them in this bad situation.
Don’t be so pessimistic, maybe you should consider more optimistically.
What? But I always consider alone!
Well, you still owe me some money you should return ASAP
If we lose our territory,
then we will have to part ways.
There’s a chance we will lose touch. It's good to be a farmer, why should I learn martial art?
Have you finished?
Why do you insist on me calling you master?
It's not always easy to take an advice, but I haven't finished yet.
So windy!
Look up, what is that?
My God, that is one big bird!
Somebody is riding it. Somebody ?
Chase the crane, let's see what the deal is
Wait for me master, don’t leave me behind!
Damn it!
Go!
Stop fooling me!
They go forward and you back. You’re unpredictable.
Here’s some water.
The horse refuses to go and the well is dry. Just like I expected.
Calm down...!
Damn horse! I’ll beat you to death if I catch you.
How can I run faster than a horse?
Wait! Wait!
It's a cliff! Hold it!
I am shit-scared.
Delicious! I haven't been good like that. Wish I had a stock
Where do these leaves come from?
You are... The one who rides on the big crane?
Yes.
You are the first man I have ever seen. I am called Cloud.
Don't tell anybody about me.
An angel! I'd better worship him now.
I must tell everybody that I met you... Goddess.
Angel's leaves.
Jiuzhou Town
Keep Yourself Safe - Calm the Riots
Songshan of Shaolin
Xiyue of Huashan
Saihua of Kunlun
"Closed until the end of martial arts congregation"
Listen!
Keep your weapons hidden!
Try to avoid any trouble.
The slogan of the meeting is: "We're family; protect the martial arts world together."
"We're family..."
"Protect the martial arts world together."
Yes of course, one big family.
Stop bluffing me!
Where does this pig come from? Get rid of it..!
Master, you can't cook here.
It's a nasty world, the food might be poisoned. So we cook our own food.
Wen, forget about him, let's cook! Yes!
Jun-wu!
They said there’s no reservation.
Kidding? We have no reservation?
Apparently, the big schools have already occupied everything.
Master, it’s been such an exhausting day...
You deserve it! Who asked you to bring all that stuff along anyway?
Ever considered they’ll inspect it? On this trip, I’ve learned we have little rep.
You are not a respectable master.
Ok, would you please cut the crap?
Wait up while I talk to our host.
He'll know what’s to know.
He is so old...
Hey! You're stepping on my book.
The Analects of Confucius, the Doctrine of the Mean...
Sir, the master of Diancang School would like to see you.
Ask him in!
This is the host, General Cao Xiong.
- Sir. - How are you?
I am Yi Yang-zi.
Don't worry, I will see to your lodging problem.
Thank you.
Yes, Sir.
School territories are divided like this. Diancang School is right here.
Round it up.
Dragon Clan?
Yes. A newcomer-school.
The master is called Su Peng-hai. His most powerful weapon is money.
He’d bribe several members of various schools.
His influence grows rapidly.
So the schools hate him a lot.
But it's not so easy to resolve matters.
It’d be the people who’ll suffer if Jiang Hu goes haywire.
If the negotiations fail,
there will be much bloodshed.
Your school took over a small territory.
It’d be wise to renounce.
I put you there...
Go away, the table belongs to Huashan School.
It's full! We can't get any seats.
At last, there’s some room.
Miss, would you please let us stay for a while?
I will leave right after my master returns.
I am too tired.
Doesn’t the leaf of Shansu flower smell nice?
The book dropped!
Miss, you seem to have forgotten...
Nice looking?
I'm afraid you would get cold.
No.
You wanna get to know me more "intimately"?
So, let me see yours too.
What are you doing? It's embarrassing.
Do you really want to take a look? OK, up to you.
No way!
Saw it again!
Heroes, please come and have a look.
Where are you coming from? You are so brave!
Move over, the soldiers are here to maintain order.
What’s that look?
Troublemakers will be given a hard time.
Who dares bothering our Dragon Clan?
What did I just say?
Right! Go and eat now.
If you want a fight, go outside.
OK.
Make way, let me pass!
That is bad luck!
How dare you oppose the Dragon Clan?
Go to hell!
Let me teach you a lesson.
Red! White!
Yellow!
Green!
I’ll get you!
I can make it.
The Goddess?
Stop fooling here, your martial art is too poor. Let me teach you the "Flash Steps".
"Step on the 2 poles, gold and wood position will give you power"
"The phoenix dances on the water".
Go inside.
Come in!
"Your body in the 1st and 2nd divine diagrams"
"Your mind focused".
It's working!
Lets make it happen again!
I have got it.
It's working!
Stop playing tricks!
"All back to normal, the earth connects north and south".
"The legendary Flash Step"
Don't let him gain!
Come back!
- Have you got it? - What?
Master?
What’s gotten into you ? I have been looking for you!
By mistake only.
Go! Dragon Clan members are apprehending people.
Freeze!
You should obey the government.
The Yanyun troops are right here.
We’ll arrest anyone who makes trouble.
How dare you?
Why are you so cocky?
Arrest me right now.
You...
Shameless!
This stance is really hard to resist.
Lady Jade Flute,
Your brother is the master of Dragon Clan.
But you fool around in public.
Aren’t you afraid he’ll lose face because of you ?
Are you scared?
Useless!
You guys...
If you’d have it on a platter you’d deny it
but you’d pine over things you cant have. It's crazy!
Do you agree, Mr. Hero?
You too, brother!
Master, Lady Jade has been fooling around again
What's it this time?
She... She’d undress publicly...
Isn't it funny?
She is too much.
Remember, who dares touch my sister,
Will be castrated by me.
And their arms and legs will be chopped off.
So they can never touch my sister again.
Su Peng-hai,
Please don’t embarrass me anymore. Let's discuss it at tomorrow's congregation.
Cao Xiong,
Your martial art isn’t famous in the martial arts world.
And your status is zero.
Even though you are protected by the government., you’re still nothing but shit.
All you want from this is fame,
You’ll forever be a screw-up. No matter if I’ll show respect or not.
Go.
Gentlemen, I am staying in room #1.
If you dare, come meet me.
We better go back to our room.
Master, everything fine with our room ?
It's comfortable anyways.
It's a long way!
The warehouse?
It's not bad, at least it's quiet, right ?!
It will make others jealous if we stay in a luxurious room.
You are not even demanding!
Lady Jade Flute.
Cloud?
What are you looking?
I am looking at the cloth.
and you, what are you looking?
The dye.
Where’s that sudden interest come from? Must be your influence.
So much money?
You always said our mountain is infertile.
Business loan from General Cao. Return it to me.
Business? Is he your relative?
No, he’d lent me money because I’m honest.
Honest? Are you?
To him, Jiang Hu is troublesome . and inhospitable to regular folks.
This congregation is held for matters of negotiation.
We are a small school, with limited power.
Our voice has no weight, wouldn't you agree?
If we didn’t try to make an effort...
we wouldn’t find out about our status.
There is no progress without making the experience
There’s so much to learn about the martial arts world.
When my master took me there, I adopted this point of view.
But what’s the result ?
The more you want, the more you may lose.
Ok, don't threaten me like that
- Are you my master? Or is it vice versa? - Return the money you owe me!
I'm going to take a bath, then I’ll return to our mountain.
You want to bail?
"The master of the Crane is at Jiuzhou".
Ignore what the Dragon Clan said. The Crane Master will appear in Jiuzhou.
"To my mother Green Butterfly"
- Are we leaving now? - Yes, hurry up!
Get ready.
I am living in room #1, if you're a man, meet me there.
Why don't you show yourself?
- Businessman! - Are you calling me?
Master, they are dining, isn't it embarrassing to leave now?
Forget about it. Let's dine first.
They haven't prepared our food.
- Anyway, I am hungry. - That's right.
Heroes,
2 hours ago, the Dragon Clan has retreated from Jiuzhou
In order to prevent any poisoned food or water,
You better be alert.
Will they all join the naked women’s side?
What are you scared of? The 9 schools are all there. If word gets out, it will make everyone nervous
You are too ignorant. Let's go.
Pack up... Where are you going?
Do you want to run off?
Master, their eyes are full of hatred.
Yi Yang-zi, where do you think you’re going?
Do you want to leave?
Yes.
No... I decided to quit. So now I’ll return to my business.
Why is that all of a sudden?
Did the Dragon Clan pay you off?
We're not involved with the Dragon Clan. They have no use for the likes of us.
They must be bribed by the Dragon Clan.
Shut up, listen!
Listen!
Go and take a look. The noise is that way.
Bats! Run for your lives!
The Dragon Clan’s bats are poisonous.
Go now...!
The bats!
Master, run for your life! I'm running!
Close the door!
- Jump into the tub! - I've just taken a bath.
The big crane!
I was lucky to kill 2 bats.
Many people are dying,
take the medicine!
- Reverend. wake up! - Take this hibiscus.
Go take a look after the others. Yes!
This medicine is useless.
Cloud.
You are the host. It's you! Who asked us to attend this congregation.
Now the people from the 9 schools are all poisoned, Did you conspire with the Dragon Clan?
My men are poisoned as well, Would I still be here if I was involved?
You fear your plot will be uncovered, and there won't be anyone to turn to anymore.
Stop him!
Stop quarreling! It's useless to kill him now.
We'd better save the poisoned people first.
Jun-wu!
What a coward! He escaped!
Master, I want to report something bad!
All our bats are annihilated.
Who did it?
A big crane did.
The one Blue Butterfly is after?! So it's true!
And Cloud?
"The Fire Tortoise of Thousand Years, The Secret Scroll of the Universe"
Cloud!
Do you want me for the antidote?
"The Fire Tortoise of Thousand Years"
What’s that?
It's the "Sacred Scripture". A mysterious medical reference book.
"Sacred Scripture"? Why do I not know that one...?
- Are you going to rebel? - Catch that betrayer!
Stop it! We are all in one boat, the big martial arts family.
Aren't you listening to me?
"I am asking the heavens with laughing tears"
"I passed through the field with wood on my back"
"I planted the flowers at daylight"
"And I spend my time watching the stars at night".
Stop fighting, we are one family!
- OK, just cuff him now. - What? Cuff you!
Master, I’m coming!
"All back to normal, the earth connects north and south"
"The legendary Flash Step".
- Master, I’m going to get the antidote for them. - Where from?
The angel who gave me the leaves.
It's not related to us!
Don't be that puzzled, just taste it.
Don't let them kill each other. Or it's pointless to get the antidote.
That'd be a waste of my efforts.
Master...
Jun-wu?
Master...
Angel's leaves?
You betrayed us?
Don't tear out my crane’s feathers!
How do I control this crane?
Just whistle.
I teach you how to control it.
Won't be necessary. I might not be having the opportunity again.
Watch out.
How do I stop?
Just ease off with your hands, and it'll stop.
Ease off?
Well, I will hold you.
That's what friends are for.
What did you say?
Nothing. I grew up in the mountains.
Other than my master, I haven't met anyone.
How wonderful! A life without worries.
You are so lucky!
Really? I don't know.
Did your master tell you?
What?
Last time you kissed me Now I want to kiss you in return.
So, you kiss me, I kiss you.
Kiss and kiss, it's a never-ending story...
We've arrived.
Perfect.
- Let's go together. - So high?
"Focus, concentrate"
Cloud, there is nothing remotely looking like a plant
Only stones. What is the antidote?
It's not a plant, it's a thousand years old tortoise.
Tortoise? Don’t tortoises live in the water?
Those tortoises can't dilute the poison.
My crane should have spotted the tortoise by now
It's impossible to see something, we’re up way too high!
And it's so hot around here, wouldn’t the tortoise simply dry up.
I have to scare it up using my "sound wave".
- You better go up. - Up again?
But don't strangle its neck.
- I know. - Alright, go.
Watch out!
Finally you show up!
It’s so big!
Yeah! it's really funny!
What's wrong?
Stop playing, stop!
Affairs of Two Generations Who Am I?
You are not Lan Hai-ping.
My master hasn't come.
So, you must be Cloud.
I have always avoided Jiang Hu,
so how come you know my name?.
I have known your name for over 20 years.
Well, you are...
The tortoise’s bile...
If you wanted to take it back, ask Lan Hai-ping to see me.
- What else do you know about me? - Everything.
Who is she?
I don’t know, but she knows a lot of things.
A friend?
There is a ship.
Will she be there?
Wait for me right here.
"The magic crane disappears with the flying cloud"
"The miraculous needles shine under the moon".
Cloud,
if you are a human being,
come and pay respect at your mother's shrine.
You lured me here, so you better tell me who you are.
I am Blue Butterfly.
Blue Butterfly?
He didn't tell you my name?
He is really too kind with you.
25 years ago, he wanted to save you, the princess of a falling empire,
So he dumped me and my mother.
Since that time,
my mother and I suffered much, and we’d look everywhere.
All we wanted was to get this heartless crane rider.
My master?
Your dad?
A falling empire? What empire?
Who am I? Who are you?
How pitiful!
You are as pure as white paper!
In these 25 years, you were unsoiled.
"To my mother Green Butterfly"
Fine, if your family was destroyed because of me...
I will bow 3 times in front of your mother's grave.
Not so easy!
Cloud...
Do you think 3 bows can make up for 25 years of hatred?
That's too easy.
I want you to repay what you owe me now.
What are we gonna do?
Listen to my song.
Then, take the tortoise's bile to get your fame.
It’s that simple?
Alright, lets play it.
That's not the way.
Cloud, come on! I’ve got the tortoise’s bile.
How dare you?
- Miss! - Watch out for her sound wave!
Let's go to Jiuzhou now.
Xuen-yu, go back to look for my master at Nanhai Peak.
- Miss, you are severely hurt. - Don't let others know it.
Miss...
Master of Dragon Clan arrives.
Watch out for Dragon Clan!
Don't panic lovely ladies... My purpose here, is to invite...
Miss Blue Butterfly
to visit the 9 martial arts schools.
The crane rider has been hurt by me.
You will be the leader of the martial arts world for sure.
Miss, I can tell by your voice that you’re sick.
Aren't you?
My master is going to get changed, please leave.
You pervert!
Miss, let's play together.
I am not interested in the 9 schools of Jiang Hu.
So I won't go to Jiuzhou.
How about Cloud?
I've made sure she's in Jiuzhou now. so I come to invite you now.
Why are you so worried? Aren't you really hurt?
If you have guts,
come and try!
Usually, "to try you" means that kind of thing...
How dare you fucking bastard!
Shit, my martial art...
"Killing Whirlwind Sword"
To me, it's just a minor trick, don't you feel ashamed?
Our Madam won't be paying any attention to it.
I think Miss Butterfly is alright.
- Good. - OK.
If Cloud is in Jiuzhou, I will go with you.
Miss, please take the sedan chair.
Miss.
I am sorry.
I am afraid I won't be able to comply anymore.
Don't cry.
After my dad had dumped mother and me, I swore I’d never cry again.
"The magic crane disappears with the flying cloud"
"The miraculous needles shine under the moon"
I Am Friendly With Everybody Yet Nobody Stands By Me.
Reverend, you're sweating.
You said your student is going to get the antidote from an angel.
Why hasn't he come back yet?
He lies, other than us,
who else is that powerful in Jiang Hu?
Yi Yang-zi, your student won't come back.
Take a good rest.
I did see him riding the big bird with the angel.
My student won't cheat me.
Go now, if my student won't come back,
they will go against you.
I haven't finished yet, you are not seriously poisoned.
Take this angel's leaf, it will cure your pain.
Try it. Put it underneath your tongue.
I wouldn't cheat you!
Now all our students are gathered here.
All our masters were being poisoned.
If we, the juniors, act united, the world of martial arts will be ours.
Not that easy, right? Can we tackle the Dragon Clan...
If we join forces?
No matter how, kill the old men first. Then, negotiate with the Dragon Clan.
We’re in it only for the money. If negotiations fail, we won't care.
We have more than thousand students here.
We have almost forgotten the Diancang School.
Yi Yang-zi, why not join us?
What a world! Filled with evil. I prefer joining the Dragon Clan.
You better have a good idea of the realities at hand!
Master!
Yi Yang-zi wants to eliminate all the masters; and take over.
Masters, don't you be manipulated.
Cao Xiong?
Yi Yang-zi, thank you for saving me. I’ll campaign for your leadership.
- Zhan Wan-jun! - Hear my orders!
You are to go and declare war onto Dragon Clan. Arrest all students of the 9 schools!
Kill everyone who tries to resist.
- Yi Yang-zi! - Reverend.
I can't imagine it's you who betrayed us.
I... Attack!
Damn it! I saved your life, and in return you set me up?
Yi Yang-zi, I’m here. Don't be afraid.
Watch out, don't bring demise to the world of martial arts!
Master!
Jun-wu, why don't you come back earlier? It's total chaos!
Master, this is the crane rider.
I didn't mean to shout and bluff you.
But after an entire night of severe fighting,
we finally have obtained the tortoise bile to save the masters of the schools.
That's great.
But the atmosphere is strange here.
You have fought for 3 days and nights?
No.
Cut the crap!
Most importantly I’ve invited this great martial art master to cure the masters.
Bravo.
What's the matter?
Be careful of Cao Xiong,
He is very cunning.
He’d almost drag me to death.
Cloud!
It's fine, let me persuade her.
How are you?
I was hurt by Blue Butterfly's sound wave stance.
If you want to save them, cure my internal injuries first.
Don't they know you're hurt?
Nevermind. Turn to page 10.
So muddy!
It's that book again!
What is it?
There is no hurry... Let's take action before they do.
If the masters are cured, there’s nothing we can do.
Do you wanna steal my tortoise bile?
Yi Yang-zi wants to rob the bile!
Nevermind them. Hit my pressure points
Give it to me. It’s hot.
Drop it!
How lucky!
Buddha bless you.
Stop stealing!
Up there!
Get the pot first!
Come down.
This is for you!
You are hit!
It's hot!
Yi Yang-zi, don't mess up!
The Dragon Clan?
Is everybody here?
Why are you holding a pot?
Don't let them know about our disagreements.
Su Peng-hai, the 9 schools come from different parts of Central Plain.
Each cook makes their own dishes.
It's a chance for us to share this cooking experience.
Really? but why are you holding the swords?
We have to protect ourselves from a bastard like you!
Yi Yang-zi!
Your food seems to be ready. Can I taste it?
Stop dreaming. You won't have a share.
We get something else for you! "the Buddha jumps over the wall"
Blue Butterfly!
She is hurt too.
Cure me first. The 9 schools can't defeat Su Peng-hai.
Another sound wave stance. Cover your ears!
Cloud!
Jun-wu!
Why do you keep hiding here?
Keep it down, master.
Cloud is hurt. We can't let anybody know it.
I play her flute to confuse them. To buy her the time to cure herself.
Give me the flute so you can cure her.
- Can you play it? - Of course,
if you can play, I can play too!
- Let's go on... - Do you want to cure yourself?
She is hurt.
"Get the Essence From the Opposite Sex"...
...Wrong.
"The Sacred Scripture".
It’s you again, bastard!
The fire Tortoise's bile!
"Endless Sea in the South, Transforming Universe"
What's up?
Master.
Lan Hai-ping.
Cloud, follow me!
You have forgotten the book.
Chase!
Jun-wu, go now!
Lan Hai-ping!
Master, do you have a daughter called Blue Butterfly?
Blue Butterfly?
You are hurt, but you wouldn’t admit it. Now you are suffering!
Let me kiss you.
Follow me!
- What are you doing? - I don't need your help!
Blue Butterfly.
I think, there’s bad land ahead.
There’s no place to hide.
Jun-wu, where are we now?
It's so foggy, how would I know our position!
Catch those men and retrieve the Sacred Scripture!
Yes!
What energy! They must have replaced their horses.
We have to do the same.
Let's replace ours!
Shit, it's getting foggier. We have no clue where we’re headed!
It's all screwed. They’ve been on our tail for a whole day!
Our horses are exhausted. They’ll catch up sooner or later.
- Master, what'll we do with this book? - Tear it in half.
Not like this!
First, speak up!
What's the difference?
Whoever picks it up, won't know it's the "Sacred Scripture".
Give it to me, let's go separate ways.
- Master, where are we going to meet? - I’ll see you in Guacang Mountain.
Don't go dark, you still owe me money!
Master... Take care.
Run faster!
It's alright!
The Scripture!
"The Sacred Scripture"?!
It's over? That’s not funny at all.
I Want Revenge You Want Revenge
An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth.
This crime demands revenge.
Grow a deep grudge in order to avenge.
Wait for the right moment...
Are you a ghost? Why am I here?
If I were a ghost, I would be a nasty one coming to take revenge.
I heard you were up there,
so I brought you down here.
You have smooth skin,
young man.
Nice body.
I am a general, I wanna arrest you.
I’m down here for so many years,
I eat insects and rodents only. I go for anything that flies or walks.
I haven't tasted human flesh in a long time.
Today, I will have myself a human.
- No! - And an officer!
A monster!
But you have to go after your enemy. You must take your revenge.
Your martial art is great, Who are you?.
You must be your enemy’s prisoner.
Like yourself, I fell victim to conspiracy and was locked up down here.
If my death will make you happy, I prefer being killed by you.
What a pity that I am not your enemy.
Your enemy is now having a wonderful life up there.
I am the reverend of the Dajue Temple.
I am great in martial art, but I was too gullible.
My first student wanted to learn my holy martial art.
He chopped off my legs, and blinded me.
He urged me to teach him my secret martial art. But I refused.
That's why he locked me up inside this dried well.
Reverend, I will free you so you can take revenge.
- You are lying. - I am not!
- I won't trust you. - What would it take for you to trust me?
Eat the dirt from the ground.
Hurry up!
Eat!
Hurry up!
A big mouthful.
Isn't it delicious?
Yes, it is.
You are obedient.
Do you want to take revenge for me?
OK, I trust you.
I will fix your bones for you.
You must bear a deep grudge.
I want you to hate everybody.
Why should I suffer here?
Mom!
Lan Hai-ping?
I want to take revenge for my mother!
The Magic Crane And the Miraculous Needle What's Loyalty Worth Anyhow?
Your Highness.
Why didn't you search for your family?
When our city was seized,
I rushed into the palace. There were 2 cribs with babies.
I’d raise my weapon to make my way.
I could save only one.
I wished you hadn't saved me.
So Blue Butterfly wouldn't have had to wander around for 2 decades.
How can I make it up for her?
I deserve being killed.
Master!
But back then...
I was selfish.
In fact, I just wanted to save my daughter from the fire.
- Please forgive me. - Master.
You'd better search for Blue Butterfly.
Don't let her wander anymore.
I don't want her to be like me.
Despite all these years,
my memory...
is hopelessly...
clouded...
Your Highness, let me cure you first.
Master! Take this to save Blue Butterfly.
Blue Butterfly,
don't move. I’ll be curing you with my miraculous needles.
Lan Hai-ping! I won't allow that.
Blue Butterfly!
Don't move, some of your pressure points are still at risk.
They might never heal.
Keep your fake pity!
Be quiet! Don't do that, otherwise...
my martial art will crush instead of cure you.
I’d rather have saved you. But I saved the princess.
I was unfaithful and a bad father.
You lied, I want to sabotage your efforts.
I want revenge.
Do you want to kill Cloud?
Xuan-yu, don't!
Blue Butterfly!
Go up!
Dad...
I want revenge.
What is this? A secret book of martial art?
It's a map.
You are lying! You were kicked down here because of this .
- Right? - No, master.
No? If not, then eat this.
After eating this, you can never learn the secret.
What's the matter?
Are you poisoned?
Don't panic, I’ve come to save you.
Student... How are you?
How are you?
Now my power has gained...
What do you want?
Cao Xiong, I am your master.
You haven't learned my martial art yet and you dare confront me?
You won't have to teach me now.
You promise to take revenge for me.
Take revenge for you?
They opposed you and you wanted to take revenge.
How about you oppose me?
I won't help you to take revenge.
I’m sorry, but I do want you to die!
Traitor!
Xuan-yu,
you are hurt too.
You can't take me back. Take this letter, written in blood...
to Cloud.
Go, hurry up!
Your Highness,
I've done so many bad things, I don’t deserve any more revenge.
I can't protect you.
And stand up for our country.
I deserve to die.
My daughter Blue Butterfly is going to hurt you.
Your Highness should try your best to stop her.
Don't sacrifice yourself but you can stop her from a big mistake.
Yours faithfully, Lan Hai-ping, right before I’ll leave this world.
Father...
Only a clouded memory for 25 years.
Why is there hatred between us?
I must end the hatred.
There is no need for another congregation.
Your masters are all dead.
The 9 schools will submit to my Dragon Clan.
Those who follow me... Speak up.
Speak!
The leader of the martial arts world.
Louder.
The leader of the martial arts world...
Jiuzhou is now part of my territory.
Inform all the store owners around here...
To have my flag fly and pay me taxes.
I will take over their stores, if they don’t comply.
Whoever wants to keep their businesses, better do as we say.
- How long will this go on? - Who cares, just take it easy.
Don't be lazy, hang it out!
We have lots of cloth for drying.
I know it.
Where is Cloud?
I have asked Master to return to our mountain.
Control the shops for flags.
It's hard to ask Jun-wu to return to our mountain. Without me around, he will be bullied.
Frankly, I am not mean at all.
He paid, lets put up the flag.
Lady Jade Flute.
Cao Xiong?
No one dares to touch you?
Do you?
Sure.
This is "cheerful drug". Try!
Master, why are you here?
And you, why are you here?
Don't ask why. Haven't you returned to Guacang Mountain?
- You'd better go back too. - I am busy.
Me too! See you in Guacang Mountain.
OK, see you there!
Master... Cao Xiong...
Brother...
Cao Xiong, you son of a bitch!
You'll regret this affront.
In front of the martial arts world leader, How dare you...
Leader? You!
Kill him!
How dare you touch my sister?
I am now showing you how. She has taken her "cheerful drug".
If no man makes love with her, she will die.
Cao Xiong!
I want it, give it to me...
Save me. Quick!
How?
Make love to me...
I'm so hot!
Alright! Let's go.
Lan Hai-ping?
It's so sad.
I can't imagine a great hero will be buried here.
I have to return the book to its master.
It can't be returned to Cloud.
Bring it to the grave!
Sudden rain.
Jiuzhou Town
The flute of Cloud?
Cao Xiong?
It's you who seduced me with Cloud's flute?
Right.
Nonsense.
Blue Butterfly, this is the "cheerful drug" of Lady Jade Flute.
If you generate all your power, the drug will kick in immediately.
Drag her out!
"All back to normal, the earth connects north and south"
"The legendary Flash Step".
It's over.
Miss! Puzzled eyes.
"Cheerful Drug"!
Miss...
Miss!
Chun-ngor.
My mother’s shrine.
Mom, I have punished the heartless man.
And Cloud.
Miss...
- Your face is so red... - Go now!
How can I leave right now? If I leave, who is going to save you?
You bastard!
I wanna kill you.
Do you want to kill me?
Miss Butterfly, take a rest.
Don't!
Why do you want to kill yourself?
I said I’d save you, so I keep my promise!
"To my mother Green Butterfly"
You...
Ma Jun-wu, I want you to save me.
Miss, it's useless for you to kiss me like this.
I have read a book.
It said, we’d have to ...
undress first,
Then touch each other... everywhere, to stimulate the desire...
Miss... Butterfly...!
"To my mother Green Butterfly"
You can now ditch the shrine that holds the hatred of 25 years.
You’ll have to kneel before the tablet to apologize.
OK.
Don't be impulsive.
You should be happy.
You've got everything you want.
Even your father was killed by you.
Cloud, please don't do that.
The oaths taken before this spirit tablet have all come to effect.
You won't need it anymore.
Take it back.
Blue Butterfly, your father's debt with you has been settled.
But what I owed him can never be compensated.
It's all your fault.
To thank him for raising me,
I want a duel to the death with you at Jiuzhou, in 3 days.
Miss, are you being serious?
She reminds me of how I used to be.
Don't stand by me, just because we’ve had sex.
Thank you for saving me.
From now on, we’re even.
- If we have... - No!
My internal energy will neutralize your juice.
We won't be having kids.
So powerful
It's finished.
Jiuzhou Town
The third party is hurt!
Sir, we’ve been informed...
about a duel between Cloud and Blue Butterfly at Jiuzhou in 3 days.
Now many people are leaving town. They want to evade the sound wave stance.
All goes as expected.
Their stances are damaging, so I will use this bell to block their sound.
Cao Xiong must have a plot.
Dispute of Two Decades History Repeats Itself
Blue Butterfly... Blue Butterfly...
Don't fight with Cloud. Cao Xiong wants to attack you during the duel.
Can you hear me?
Where are you taking me to? Damn you, crane!
Cloud, don't fight with Blue Butterfly!
The tornado is coming!
Cloud, the power of your sound wave is weakened by the wind.
Blue Butterfly, in this duel...
I’ll have to fight both you and the weather too.
Let's settle the hatred of these 25 years.
The tornado!
Let's see who is faster!
Blue Butterfly, you didn't counter-attack,
Is that guilt for killing your father?
I pity you.
You were always indebted to others... my mom, me and now your master.
It's time to pay back!
Go ahead!
Don't make the same mistake in your next life, or you'll be in debt again.
Nothing is forever.
We'll die together.
You shouldn't mention the past.
The master is the stronger one!
You should look forward, don't look back.
Now, all that’s left is my voice.
Ma Jun-wu.
Go to hell!
I can't make it!
I can't make it again!
I can't stand helping anymore!
I am the supreme hero.
How lucky are you?
I will play with them after fixing you.
Go to hell!
Come and play with me.
I have numbed your pressure points.
You are mine.
The sound of the flute is horrible.
Make it sound nice!
Master!
Blue Butterfly, Cloud, stop the duel.
Lan Hai-ping is still alive.
Well, go to hell now!
Are you alright?
Come over here.
Lan Hai-ping,
I am going to kill them now, unless you drop the flute.
I know you've been guilty,
for 25 years you have failed them.
Now, I’m giving you another chance.
If you can save any of them.
Who are you going to choose?
He is so powerful, better come up with something.
Today is the ultimate challenge.
How do we defeat this evil?
So, drop it or not?
You first.
Your turn now.
- Father! - Master, how are you?
You want to save both. So it's your destiny to die now!
I don't know whether or not I’ll be able to repay my debt.
Master... It doesn't matter. Your safety is more important!
- I will crush your hand! - Stop dreaming!
Master!
Damn it.
I want to kill all of you.
It's blocked, come out quickly.
Throw it to them.
Catch it!
Come out, or else I’ll destroy it!
You deserve it!
I wanna die with you.
Come over here!
Cloud...
Look up in the sky.
With some arrogance.
The cloud can never block my way.
To fly higher than the magic crane....
Forget all the hatred and love....
And everything will become clear.
The world is still spinning,
Let's embrace it in our hearts.
Nevermind the world.
Let's walk the deadly path.
In this world, it's only me and you.
I walk the path with my best companion...
to see you smile.
I love your stamina and arrogance.
Let's walk the clouds together.
Get rid of all the Evils.
Princess!
Cloud!
I am sorry Blue Butterfly.
I don't know how to make this choice.
If you’d saved me 25 years ago,
you’d have felt the same remorse today.
Past, present, future... It's useless to think too much.
Go and look for Cloud now.
So you agreed she hasn't died yet?
Yes, I do.
If I find Cloud, I will bring her to you.
Are you saying, you’ll marry us?
- You mean it? - I think you mean it!
We are formidable at martial arts.
If there is a fight, can you handle it?
It depends.
Well, see you in Guacang Mountain.
Deal!
Her scent is still around.
Master...
Don't be so sad.
You’ll lose your virginity eventually.
Come on, let's return to Guacang Mountain.
I couldn't help following her. We should go that way.
The Road to the Gate The Master of the Martial Arts World.
Master...
Now that we carry such a big flag,
we won't have to be afraid of robbers anymore.
I got an idea for our business.
Let's sell flags.
Excellent! The schools rise and fall.
They’ll have to switch flags frequently.
- Along the road of Yang Gate... - Yes!
We’ll have a monopoly on flags. That's wonderful!
We can make a fortune.
