lt's up to you whether or not you want to eat. Anyway, you have already eaten.
Duan Lang, l can't take it.
No
Wan Mei, no.
Hold me.
Brother, l think you had better stay here and wait for us.
Yes, my emperor.
l don't think you should go in.
Stop trying to persuade me out of it. lt's important to rescue Yu Er.
Let's go in.
The Dali Duanshi brothers
request an audience with Master Zhong of the Valley
Who are you?
You, who are of the Duan family, have actually come to the valley. Why did you
destroy the entrance to my valley?
The emperor is the leader of the land.
How can he be expected to crawl through your pathetic tunnel?
lt doesn't matter what your ranking is.
As long as you come to my valley,
you'll have to follow the rules of the valley.
Wanli, don't be disrespectful
Zhong Wan Chou, where is my son?
Hurry and hand him over.
lt's a pity but you're too late.
We have already killed him.
l'm afraid we've fed him to the dogs.
l'm talking to Master Zhong.
Not you, slut!
Dao Bai Feng, you slut,
prepare to die!
Stop it!
Feng Huang, stop fighting
Duan, prepare to fight!
l'll deal with him.
Scumbag, you are suicidal!
l'll finish you off first
and then take care of that Duan fellow
Wan Mei,
hurry and kill me
or l will
Duan Lang, l want you
Miss Mu, l have done what l have promised you.
Are you pleased
with this Yin Yang He He San?
lf you don't do what husbands and wives do after eating this,
your seven orifices will bleed and you will die.
Even if you are the gods
you will not be able to prevent this.
Who exactly are you?
Face Retribution for a Life of Crime
Duan Lang
Are you alright?
Hit me, knock me out cold, Wan Mei.
Hit me unconscious.
Sister Mu, Brother Duan,
so you have been imprisoned here!
Zhong Ling, it's you?
Sister Mu,
l overheard what that evil man was saying.
l will definitely rescue you and Brother Duan.
That's good. Hurry and find the antidote for us.
l've already used my internal energy to seal up my blood vessels.
My condition is about to erupt again.
What kind of medicine is that?
Dear sister, that medicine is called Yin Yang He He San.
Hurry and save us.
Alright, sister. Just wait for me.
l'll be right back.
Feng Huang, don't be so harsh!
Even now, you're still on her side!
lf you so much as touch a hair on my Duan Lang's head,
l'll kill you
Duan Lang , are you alright?
Are you trying to kick me to death?
Duan Lang, does it hurt?
Are you alright?
Duan Lang, are you alright? Does it hurt?
Are you alright?
Duan, you gigolo with a beard!
You need the help of women in a fight.
How disgraceful is that!
Watch out for my blade!
l'll help you.
BLUEMAX
Which idiot
is making so much noise that l can't sleep?
Are you sick of life?
Are you that stupid bastard?
You dare call me a stupid bastard?
You must be sick of living.
Yu Er, are you here? Yu Er!
Who are you?
Are you here to save Brother Duan?
Yes, do you know where he is?
l am his uncle.
l am here to save him.
He has been imprisoned in that stone house.
Where is the stone house?
Can you take me there?
We'll rescue him together.
No, l can't. lf l bring you there,
my father will kill me.
Who is your father?
My surname is Zhong. My father is the Master of the valley.
He's your father?
For the sake of rescuing Brother Duan,
l will bring you there.
l don't know if you can overcome that ugly creature.
What ugly creature?
l had better bring you there after all.
Once you see him, you will understand. Let's go.
That's him. He's the one who brought Brother Duan here
and imprisoned him in the stone house.
So Yu Er locked up in this stone house?
Please, excuse me
lf you refuse to move, l have no choice but to force my way through.
Duan Lang, kiss me.
No, l can't. l can't kiss you.
No, l want to kiss you.
l probably won't bleed to death with the eruption of my arteries
l can't let you die either
Yi Yang Finger Skill.
You are?
Are you Duan Zheng Ming or Duan Zheng Chun?
l am Duan Zheng Ming
You are the current emperor of Dali country.
That is correct.
Your skill against mine. l wonder who the winner will be?
You excel in your martial arts
but if we were to go head to head seriously,
l will defeat you.
That's true. l am, after all, a cripple.
l didn't think that
you would maintain your skills after you became emperor.
Duan Lang
Wan Mei
Yu Er, what's wrong?
l'm coming to rescue you soon!
Brother Duan
That fellow has a lot of perseverance.
He can still withstand the Yin Yang He San
What poison is that?
lt's not poison, it's an aphrodisiac.
What are you up to?
l want to fulfil his desires.
There's a woman in there with him.
lt's his very own sister
Sister?
Yes.
Duan Zheng Chun and another woman had a daughter together
Why aren't you defending yourself?
l would be glad
to die at your hands.
Your sins would then have risen to another level
Who exactly are you?
l am Prince Yan Qing.
By right, l should be your cousin
l don't believe you.
Are you convinced now?
l, Zheng Ming, pay my respects to my senior.
l am your cousin, not your senior.
You are deliberately not acknowledging me.
Or are you still not convinced?
l am the king of a country,
Be in in my words or my deeds, l am most prudent.
l have no son.
Therefore my nephew
is very important to me.
l implore of you, senior, let him go.
What if l wish to let the Duan family's line
die out?
l, Duan Zheng Ming, cannot allow that.
l regret this.
After all, you are not the real culprit.
But you have usurped my throne.
Go ahead and call out your armed palace troops.
Even though my skills are far inferior to yours,
l am still easily capable of
killing Duan Yu.
What must l do before you will let him go?
You must go immediately to the Temple of the Heavenly Dragon and become a monk.
Give up your throne to me
and l will release him.
How can l simply give up my throne to someone else?
Then
you must let Duan Yu use the Ying Yang Finger Skill
to defeat me
and l will let him go.
Duan Yu hardly knows martial arts
and he has never learnt the Yi Yan Finger Skill
The heir to the throne of Dali country has not mastered the Yi Yang Finger Skill?
lmpossible.
From young, Duan Yu has studied religious teachings.
He has a kind heart and refuses to learn martial arts.
Another hypocrite.
lnstead of letting such a person become the king of Dali country,
it would be far better to kill him.
Uncle,
hurry and come in. Kill me.
Yu Er, have you done something to disgrace the family?
No, not yet.
But, l'm
not going to live for much longer
Life and death are fated.
Miss,
thank you for showing me the way here. l will reward you in the future.
Hold it,
Duan!
Today you did not see my wife.
Take it that you were lucky.
l won't trouble you anymore.
My wife swore
never to see you again.
Give it up.
But
it's a little risky.
lf she sees you, her old flame,
her heart might soften.
Get out of Wan Jie valley
and never return.
His Yi Yang Finger Skill is a match for Brother's?
Can he really be from the Duan family?
Do you still remember?
Ten years ago, there was a great upheaval.
The emperor then, Emperor Shang De
was killed by the traitor, Yang Yi Zhen
After that, with the help of the High Priest in The Heavenly Dragon Temple,
Emperor Shang Ming was able to put down the rebellion.
Emperor Shang Ming only carried out his duties for a year
before he went to the Heavenly Dragon Temple, gave up his throne and became a monk.
ln other words, nine years ago
the throne was passed down to me.
Brother, are you saying...?
Do you still remember?
Emperor Shang De had a son,
Prince Yan Qing.
While the traitor, Yang Yi Zhen was trying to usurp the throne the country was thrown into chaos and
Prince Yan Qing went missing.
Rumour had it that he was killed by the traitor Yang Yi Zhen.
That's right.
But what if he was still in the land of the living?
lmpossible.
Someone must be impersonating as Prince Yan Qing.
He might not be who he says he is,
but his skill is for real.
lf he really is Prince Yan Qing,
he is part of the Duan family.
Why does he want to disgrace the family name?
He is a cripple now
and his personality has changed greatly
Furthermore, l am now the emperor.
Brother,
for the long years that you have been on the throne
the citizens have enjoyed peace and prosperity. You are loved by the people.
Forget about Prince Yan Qing,
even if Emperor Shang De, himself, comes back to life,
you must not give up your throne.
This throne rightfully belongs to Prince Yan Qing.
lt is because he went missing
that Emperor Shang Ming inherited the throne.
By right, now that Prince Yan Qing has returned,
the throne should be returned to him.
Brother,
from way back, you have always
gone to the aid of officials.
Brother, even though you love Yu Er
you must not make such a huge sacrifice for him.
lf you do so, even if Yu Er safely returns home,
he will become the bane of Dali country.
Summon for the manual.
l hereby pronounce my younger brother, Zheng Chun
as the lmperial Brother.
Brother
Emperor
You are in the prime of your life and have done many things for the people.
The Heavens will surely bless you as the imperial brother.
Don't be too hasty.
You and l are brothers
and the land should be ruled by both of us.
l have no son.
You will be the imperial brother.
ln a way it's good to announce this to the whole country.
lt will allow Prince Yan Qing
to give up his ambition.
Brother Xian, you didn't come today just to
play chess with me, did you?
When my nephew Duan Yu
was just seven,
l carried him here to listen to you preach.
That child is amazingly perceptive
He was influenced by the scriptures from young
and was kind by nature
He was unwilling to learn martial arts as he did not want to kill living creatures.
lt is possible to kill without martial arts.
Those who know martial arts
may not necessarily kill
You are right.
l wonder if you remember someone called
Prince Yan Qing?
Duan Lang
Wan Mei
The descendants of the Duan family
are suffering retribution.
l don't know what to do now
You are the leader of a country.
lt is not convenient for you to go head to head with him.
lf you send your subordinate to forcibly rescue him,
it would not be right either.
Senior is perceptive.
When it comes to martial arts,
the Heavenly Dragon Temple's high priest's level would suffice
but they come from the Duan family
and it is not convenient for them to take part in the clan's internal struggle.
That is correct.
Five years ago,
you proposed that l abolish the salt tax for the citizens
but at that time the national treasury was running low on funds.
ln addition, l was preparing to let Zheng Chun take over
and thought that he could do this service to his people in his time
so as to gain their favour.
However, l have now decided to act on Senior's suggestion.
Tomorrow, l will abolish the salt tax.
The Emperor has the interests of his people at heart. l am deeply grateful.
As for the matter of saving the crown price, l am glad to undertake this task.
600 steps towards the north from this point will be
the stone house where the crown prince is imprisoned.
This is not an easy task. Hurry and dig.
Alright, let's go.
lt's here.
Hurry
and dig.
Master,
the master of the valley seems to have deadly intentions.
lt worries me.
Don't be afraid.
Look closely. l am not a Duan.
Let's go.
Vertically and horizontally the 19 ways confuse many people.
Would you be interested in playing a game of weiqi with an old monk
Amituofo
Golden Finger Skill. Good move.
lt would be good
if you could give me a few pointers
BLUEMAX
Your martial skills are excellent.
l am sure your chess skill far exceeds my own as well.
Would you be willing to allow me to make four seeds first?
Master, it is unnecessary for you to be so modest.
lf we are to fight it out,
we should start off equally.
How about allowing me three seeds then?
Even if it is just one move it would mean giving way to you.
lt seems to me that your chess skills might be
somewhat limited.
ln that case, l will give you three seeds.
That is not necessary.
We will play off against each other first.
You are neither arrogant nor rash and are mysterious.
You are truly not an ordinary man.
You are the host and l am the guest.
l will make the first move.
No,
the strong does not bully the weak.
l will go first.
We will have to settle this by a guessing game then.
Make a guess.
ls my age this year
an odd number or an even number?
lf you guess correctly,
you will make the first move.
lf you are wrong, l will make the first move.
Even if l guess correctly, you may deny it.
Alright then. We'll switch to something that l cannot deny.
Make a guess.
When l am seventy,
will my toes be an odd number or an even number?
My guess is an even number.
Wrong. lt is an odd number.
l am 69 this year.
When l am 70 next year,
my toes will be an odd number.
That's right. Master, you may make the first move.
l will proceed.
At my right,
there lies a hidden danger.
lf l am to cover that
l will lose the offensive.
Counterattack. You will not lose the offensive.
l am of the same opinion
but it is hard to do so.
Thank you for your reminder.
Bystanders, should remain silent.
Real gentlemen must make independent decisions.
You gave me an aphrodisiac,
can you be considered a gentleman?
Disrespectful scum
l am not a real man either.
l am a real monk.
Continue digging.
We should be there soon.
Hurry.
lf we are too slow, the crown prince will be in danger.
Prince Duan,
how should l make the next move?
This chess strategy has seven successive moves,
if l say it out loud
the enemy will know and it will be ineffective.
Master's chess skill
has not reached this level yet right?
A game of chess is a battle of wits.
lf you were aware of my level of skill in chess
right from the start,
then wouldn't this game of chess be unnecessary?
Junior disciple, stand aside!
Master, you are taking such a long time with this move.
Are you thinking of admitting defeat?
You are a noble man, yet you have attacked my disciple.
Don't you think you are demeaning your status?
This should be the place.
So this is a cave.
Where is the antidote?
Miss,
don't make a sound.
We are here to rescue the crown prince.
No
No, that's not right. The crown prince should be over there.
Darling,
l think you still have sentiments for Duan Zheng Chun.
Why else would you stop me
from ruining his reputation?
What do you mean sentiments?
l hate him
That's great
But Miss Mu is my senior's daughter
Whatever it is, she's still one of us.
Why did you drag her in?
Your senior tried to release Duan Yu secretly
and was discovered by Ye Er.
She is now our enemy.
Why are you still bothering with her daughter?
My wife, the guests l have invited over today
are all well known figures in the pugilistic world.
You pretty much ignored them
and stared at them before walking off.
You're not showing me any respect.
What do you mean not showing you any respect?
Why did you invite those people here?
They have no close relations with us.
Furthermore, would they dare offend
the current Dali Emperor?
My wife, l invited them here not just for drinking
but for them to be witnesses.
After some time, l will open the stone door
and allow them to witness with their own eyes
Duan Zheng Chun's son
committing incestuous adultery with his daughter.
His glory will be no more and he will be dishonoured.
His bad reputation will be spread all over the land.
lsn't that good, my wife?
Despicable and shameless!
Despicable and shameless?
Who are you referring to?
Whoever is despicable and shameless
is despicable and shameless
There is no need for me to point it out.
Well said. Duan Zheng Chun is a lecherous man.
Who would have thought
that his own son and daughter would commit incestuous adultery?
Darling, aren't you referring to Duan Zheng Chun?
l'm referring to you!
lt's fine if you can't defeat the Duan family by yourself
and spend the rest of your life hiding in the valley
but you have chosen such a underhanded method
to deal with his son and daughter.
The heroes under the sky
will not be laughing at him
but at you! Despicable and shameless Zhong Wan Chou!
You're saying that l, Zhong Wan Chou is despicable and shameless?
l'm scolding you, l'm scolding you,
l'm scolding you, what about it?
lf you dare scold me, l'll hit you!
You want to hit me? You dare hit me?
lf you dare to, try it!
Why am l so unfortunate?
Why have l married a man like you?
l must be blind!
Don't touch me!
Don't cry, darling, don't cry.
l will kneel before you. ls that alright with you?
l'll be frank with you, this bad idea has not hatched by me.
Duan Yu was captured by the South China Sea alligator God
while Miss Mu was captured by Face Retribution for a Life of Crime
That horrible aphrodisiac Ying Yang He He San
was given to me by them.
l wouldn't have such a horrible medicine with me.
l am despicable and shameless,
is that alright?
lf you really know what despicable and shameless is
that would be good.
Wan Chou, if you don't support this idea,
we will let Miss Mu go.
Let Miss Mu go?
No!
lf that is the case, they will not be able to witness a good show
Witness a good show?
You want to witness a good show right?
Yes.
Alright then,
l'll put on a show for you.
What do you plan to do?
Think it through.
You are going to look for Duan Zheng Chun!
You are going to make me a cuckoo!
You are going to have an affair with him!
That's right! l am going to have an affair with Duan Zheng Chun!
Remember, you suggested it!
l didn't suggest anything, my wife!
Get up
l was wrong just now
l was talking rubbish.
Alright? My wife is pure and virtuous
lt's good that you know that.
Where is our Ling Er?
Look
That child, Ling Er really causes a lot of trouble.
She actually asked her father for an aphrodisiac.
She's so young
and l have no idea where she learnt of it from.
She's really not embarrassed by anything.
Stop uttering rubbish.
Why did you bring Ling Er to the great hall to greet the guests just now?
My wife, l had such a beautiful daughter with you
and l wanted to show off to those outstanding people in the pugilistic world.
Are you satisfied now?
Listen to me.
She's like the crane among the clouds.
Those ruffians keep staring at Ling Er and sizing her up.
You must be careful,
understand?
l need only be careful about my wife and that will be enough.
l have a wife who is as pretty as a flower.
Whoever sees you will
have designs on you.
Senior has been gone for so long,
yet there is no news from him.
Don't tell me Prince Yan Qing really is that powerful?
Brother,
what do you think we should do now?
Let's go.
We'll make another trip to Wan Jie valley.
Emperor,
why don't we bring along some palace troops?
We'll deal with Wan Jie valley in one fell swoop.
Until we have run out of options,
we will have to follow the rules of the pugilistic world.
This has been the teaching of the Duan family ancestors
for hundreds of years.
Dali Duan's family's leader Duan Zheng Ming is here.
l was wondering who it was?
ln fact, it's the emperor himself.
How are you?
Forgive me,
the master of the valley for not welcoming you earlier.
Have a seat.
Don't stand on occasion.
The leader of the Duan family has come to my valley.
l, Zhong Wan Chou have received a great honour.
My nephew Duan Yu has offended Master Zhong of the valley.
l am here,
firstly, to ask for mercy and secondly, to ask for forgiveness.
l hope that
Master Zhong will let off my nephew
on my account as he is ignorant.
l would appreciate it greatly.
Well said.
l have heard long ago that Dali Emperor Duan
lives by the rules of the pugilistic world.
He has lived up to his reputation.
This is the territory of Dali country,
All he needs to do is to send hundreds of troops down
and he will be able to free the man
but he has actually comes all the way here to word the request nicely.
Master Zhong,
whether or not you decide to release the person, depends on your word.
l will of course release him.
Why would l want to retain your son
here?
Master Zhong,
since you have already agreed to do so,
return my son to me.
lf that is the case bring him out and let mother and son reunite.
Of course.
Duan Zheng Chun,
you have such a beautiful wife
and a wonderful son.
Yet you are still so greedy.
Today, l will destroy
your good reputation.
Master Zhong, if you deliberately cause us trouble
l have ways and means
of making you regret it for the rest of your life.
Things have progressed to such a state
that l, Zhong Wan Chou will see it through
even if my family is scattered
and l am torn to shreds.
lf you want your son,
follow me!
