Chief,
four people have barged into Dayi Fenduo
and are creating havoc there.
The overseer can't hold them for much longer,
so he asked me to go
seek reinforcements from Daren Fenduo.
Who are these intruders?
Three women and one man;
the man is rather rude, too.
Only four...
and you are unable to resist them?
Looks like we won't be able to have that drink.
My brother,
shall we go take a look?
Sure, Big Brother!
Let's go.
Elder Bai!
Elder Bai,
the Chief wishes to discuss something urgent with you.
Please come quickly.
Where is the Chief now?
He is on the boat at the shore of the lake.
Please show me the way.
Yes, sir.
Brother Jiang, why are you also here?
The Chief summoned me to discuss something urgent.
I wonder what's so urgent
for him to have summoned both of us.
Surely there can't be new developments in the meeting
with the people from Xixia?
We'll know when we get on the boat.
After you.
Elders,
the Chief has been waiting.
Please come aboard.
Leave first!
Capture him!
Capture him alive!
Yes, sir!
Bai Shijing, you--!
Sit down!
Elders,
I'm sorry for the offense.
Today is the day the Beggar Sect inducts newcomers.
In order to make sure you two don't act without knowledge,
I must ask you to endure this imposition for the time being.
I will personally ask for your pardon later.
But first, I must inform you...
In the event you try to escape,
these ships
have been laden with explosives.
My subordinates will be watching.
If anything goes wrong,
they will light the fire.
If that happens,
don't blame me
for not being being friendly.
If you'll excuse me.
You lowlife!
Let me go!
My master, Sir Mu Rong,
has gone to Luoyang to see your chief,
but your members have come to Wuxi instead.
You're making my master go on a wild goose chase!
How will you repay this debt?
Did Sir Mu Rong
have an appointment with Chief Qiao?
With or without one, it's all the same.
Insolence!
Such insolence!
Ms. Wang!
You came too?
Yes,
I came too.
Good day to all my brothers!
Respects to the Chief!
You must be Chief Qiao of the Beggar Sect.
I am Bao Butong.
I believe you know my name well.
So you're Bao the Third.
I have heard of your good name.
I am honored to meet you!
Not at all!
What good name would I have?
Just a dirtied name in the martial arts world, perhaps.
Everybody knows that
I love trouble
and offend people with my words.
But Chief Qiao,
how could you just come to Jiangnan like this?
That makes you at fault.
I've always heard that Jiangnan's Bao Butong loved to brag.
I guess the rumors are really true.
They say that a smelly fart makes no noise
and silent farts aren't smelly.
That dog fart just now was both smelly and noisy,
so it must have been made by the Fourth Elder of the Beggar Sect, right?
You know that the Fourth Elder is here,
and yet you still dare speak nonsense?!
What,
you itching for a fight?
Bao the Third just loves to fight!
You love to quarrel;
I am the one who loves to fight.
Fourth Brother Feng!
You came too?
Let me see what you've got!
Fourth Brother!
Fourth Brother, how are you feeling?
Fourth Brother Feng!
I-It's... nothing...
Fourth Brother!
A fight, huh?
Then let me go up against the hero from Gusu!
Fourth Brother!
Elder Chen,
you'd better give Feng the Fourth the antidote.
This man challenged us and
is strong in martial arts.
We might regret it if we save him.
That may be so.
But we have not yet met the master and
we've first injured his subordinate...
That just will not do.
We should take a step back for now.
Deputy Ma
definitely died by Mu Rong's hands.
They should pay for it with their lives.
Give him the antidote first.
We'll discuss this later.
Yes, sir.
My Chief is merciful,
so here is the antidote.
Thank you, Elder Chen!
Thank you, Chief Qiao!
Elder,
how should we use this antidote?
After drawing out the poison,
you apply it onto the wound.
If the poison is not completely drawn out,
the antidote will only make things worse.
Thank you!
Wait!
What's the matter?
Women must not draw out the poison!
Why can't we?
This poison is strong in Ying,
and women are of Ying properties.
With Ying and Ying,
the poison will increase.
Third Brother!
Stop fighting!
Come save Fourth Brother!
I will draw out the poison for Feng the Fourth.
Big Brother, let me do it!
Apply the antidote.
Quickly!
Fourth Brother Feng!
Thank you, Sir Duan!
Thank you
for saving my life!
It was nothing, don't worry about it!
My life may be a small matter for you,
but for me, it's a big deal.
Here is your antidote.
Chief Qiao is merciful,
so no wonder he is the Chief of the best Sect in the martial arts world.
I am impressed.
You give me too much praise!
I lost today.
I, Feng Boe, admit defeat.
The next time we meet,
let's fight again.
I won't fight you anymore today.
It would be my pleasure.
You, Song!
Let's see what you've got!
Fourth Brother!
Don't fight anymore!
You haven't recovered your strength yet...
I won't forgive myself
if I don't engage in an available battle!
BLUEMAX
Assemble the Dog Beating Formation!
Assemble the formation!
Third Brother Bao,
Fourth Brother Feng,
stop!
You won't be able to penetrate the Dog Beating Formation of the Beggar Sect!
Let me fight some more.
When I can no longer withstand it,
I'll stop.
Let me down!
Wait!
Stop!
It's the third stance of
Dragon's Claw Snatches Pearl.
Third Brother Bao,
his left hand is going for your chest.
The right hand is going for your waist,
then the left will attack your air seal point.
This skill is called Abundant Rain!
Abundant Rain, indeed!
Sister Wang,
what use are your words if they come at the wrong time?
Tell me sooner
so I can be prepared.
He's too quick,
and I need to think.
I can't speak any quicker.
We have lost today.
We have humiliated the House of Swallows.
Both of you,
please leave.
Chief Qiao,
my skill cannot measure up to yours,
but I'm not too happy with my loss just now.
I wish to try again.
All right,
please go ahead.
This is the skill of Dragon Capturing?
There really is...
an amazing skill like that in the world...
I've only just started learning it.
I must have embarrassed myself.
Chief Qiao, you are too kind.
Feng Boe
can never hope to defeat you in his lifetime!
Farewell.
Let's go!
Third Brother Feng,
I heard the master has gone to Shaolin Temple.
There are many people there,
so maybe there will be good fights, too.
I'll go look around first.
You guys can follow later.
I'm off!
Go, go!
"Not measuring up to someone
and completely losing face.
Train for ten more years,
and lose again!"
I'm not fighting anymore!
Deputy Ma's tragic death has not been avenged yet,
so how can you let the enemy go so easily?
We came to Jiangnan
for the express purpose of avenging Deputy Ma.
But these few days,
I have been carefully thinking it over.
It may not have been Mu Rong Fu
who killed Deputy Ma.
What evidence does the Chief have?
I am merely guessing.
I have no evidence.
I don't know how the Chief could make that supposition.
Your followers would really like to know.
Deputy Ma died under his own Throat-lock Skill.
At the time, I thought of Gusu Mu Rong's
Skill-to-Skill Countermove.
I thought that other than Mu Rong Fu,
no one else could have killed Deputy Ma with his own skill.
That is right.
But these past few days, I have thought about it carefully.
There is something else hidden beneath this issue.
Surely the Chief intends to reveal it?
Where are Elders Chuangong and Zhifa?
I have not seen the two Elders today.
Zhang Quanxiang,
why is your Elder not here yet?
I-I don't know.
You don't know?
Have you already killed him?!
No! No!
Elder Bai is healthy and unharmed.
He's not dead!
This has nothing to do with me!
I didn't do it!
Who did it?
What has happened,
four Elders?
This Sect is under my leadership.
We are all brothers.
Our standing in the martial arts world today
is not only due to...
Now,
it's not too late for you to confess.
Zhang Quanxiang!
Here!
Take some people to invite Elders Zhifa and Chuangong to join us.
Do as l say,
and your punishment will be reduced.
Everyone else, stay where you are.
Without my say so, you are not to move!
Senior.
Senior,
what weird thing are you doing this time?
I'll beat your backside!
Xiaojuan...
Xiaojuan,
it's you!
Have you... have you
been well lately?
I'm fine.
You again!
You've been well?
Xiaojuan!
Xiaojuan,
I finally received your letter
after all that waiting.
Senior,
it was the Beggar Sect's Elder Xu who asked us to come.
He said there was trouble in the Beggar Sect...
No matter what you want
me to do,
l would gladly do it!
Xiaojuan,
did you know?
These past few days, I've been dreaming
about the times
when we were learning martial arts together.
I will never forget
how you looked back then.
Xiaojuan...
Xiaojuan!
Xiaojuan,
wait for me!
Brothers,
I am very happy now
because I've made a new friend.
He is Sir Duan Yu.
We get along so well
that we've already become sworn brothers.
Good brother,
come here.
Let me introduce you
to the important people in the Beggar Sect.
Elder Song.
Elder Song is
very well-respected in the Sect.
His Great Metallic Reversal
has existed in the martial arts world
since before you were even born!
I have heard of your great name, Elder Song.
May you remain in the peak of your health.
Elder Xi
is a specialist expert of the Beggar Sect.
Ten years ago,
I asked him to teach me martial arts.
To me, Elder Xi is half-master and half-friend.
We have a deep relationship.
I witnessed the greatness of Elder Xi's skill just now.
I am impressed.
No need for praise.
Great Sword Wielder, Elder Wu!
Elder Wu...
What's the matter, Chief?
Where is the traitor?
Capture that man!
I'll swallow him whole!
Everyone, calm down.
I have something to say.
Yes, sir!
Elders Song, Xi, Chen and Wu,
you had someone lock us up
in a small boat on Tai Lake.
What is the meaning of this?!
Well... we are good brothers
and we go back a long way.
Of course, we didn't mean any harm.
Bai Zhifa, for my sake,
just let it go.
You locked your good brothers up
in a fiery pit.
Elder Song,
do you mean to say that also constitutes "not meaning any harm"?
This...
Quan Guanqing!
We're all family,
just like flesh and blood brothers.
How could you be so rough?!
How can we face them now?
You! You tricked me onto the boat
by saying the Chief summoned us
and forging the Chief's edict!
Do you admit your guilt?!
I am of low status,
so how would I dare trick Elder Bai?
It's all... because...
You were ordered by Quan Guanqing?
Right?
Quan Guanqing had you forge the Chief's edict in order to trick me onto the boat.
Did you know that the order was fake?
All Beggar Sect disciples
are hardy heroes who dare to admit to their actions!
If you did something,
why don't you have the guts to admit it?
Yes,
Elder Bai is right.
I gave you the Chief's orders,
while knowing they were fake.
As for the reason, I dare not say.
Madam,
we're almost there.
I see.
Thank you for your help
during the journey, Sir Shan.
Don't mention it!
Before we left the city, Elder Xu of the Beggar Sect kept reminding me
to take care of Madam on this journey.
What's more,
this matter affects the Beggar Sect's reputation,
so of course, I will do my best.
Many thanks.
Brother Jiang,
who was the one who tricked you into boarding the boat?
When a man does something,
right is right,
and wrong is wrong.
Confess to what you've done!
Chief,
all of us have discussed
your removal from your position as Chief.
Elders Song, Xi, Chen,
and I have agreed to this matter.
We were afraid Elders Chuangong and Zhifa
wouldn't agree if they knew about it,
so we tried to imprison them.
Today, you have the upper hand.
We will listen to your punishment.
I, Wu Changfeng, have been in the Sect for more than thirty years.
Everybody knows
I am not someone who fears death.
Elders Wu, Xi, Chen and Song
have betrayed the Chief,
thus breaking the Sect's first rule.
Brothers,
tie up the Elders!
Yes, sir!
Cowards!
If we fought together,
there's no guarantee we'll lose!
But all of you
are afraid of Qiao Feng!
Brothers!
Everyone knows that
our good reputation
is the result of Chief Qiao's efforts.
Chief Qiao is kind in his dealings
and fair in his judgments;
we all are grateful to be under his care!
But someone wants to usurp his position!
Quan Guanqing,
do you admit to your guilt?
Overseer Quan Guanqing,
what have I, Qiao Feng,
done to betray
my brothers?
Bring out the evidence.
There's no need to be afraid,
and don't stand on ceremony.
Although you have yet to betray our brothers,
but you will do so in the near future!
Nonsense!
Chief Qiao's actions are always just and honorable!
You created this fiasco
based on false rumors
and thus betrayed the Chief!
Quan Guanqing, you should kill yourself to atone.
Elder Bai, do not be impatient.
Let the Overseer explain to us
what happened from beginning to end.
Even Elder Song and
Elder Xi are against me.
No man is perfect.
What have I done wrong?
Please point it out to me!
Chief,
I wished to kill you, so that was my fault.
I will cut my own head off
to make amends to you.
Since the Chief has so ordered,
Quan Guanqing,
speak up.
I believe that Deputy Ma was killed
as a result of Qiao Feng's manipulations.
What?
You've always despised Deputy Ma,
for as long as he was around,
your position as Chief would be uncertain.
What nonsense!
I may not have had good personal ties with Deputy Ma,
but I would never harm him!
My deeds are out in the open
for all to see.
If I had truly killed Ma Dayuan,
then I would be willing to be stabbed by a hundred knives and cursed by all!
We came to Gusu to seek vengeance against Mu Rong,
so why did you, time and again,
ally yourself with the enemy?
These three are followers of the Mu Rong family,
yet you keep defending them.
That man is Mu Rong Fu's friend,
and yet you came to be his sworn brother...
Not at all, not at all!
I have never met Sir Mu Rong Fu in my life,
and these three ladies
are not Sir Mu Rong's subordinates either.
"Not at all, not at all!"
Bao Butong
is the caretaker of Mu Rong Fu's Jinfeng Manor,
whereas Feng Boe takes care
of the Shuangzhong Manor.
If you had not defended them,
we would have killed them already!
We have all witnessed these events.
How dare you
deny it?
It is true that I defended the three ladies,
but that is because I didn't want to dirty
the Beggar Sect's century-old reputation!
I did not want people throughout the world
to point at us and say that
the Beggar sect combined forces to bully three weak ladies!
Ever since our founding,
the Beggar Sect has been respected by all.
We do not depend on our numbers
or our skill,
but on our heroic deeds
and our sense of justice.
Even if you do not value the reputations
of the Four Elders or the Beggar Sect,
the other brothers still value it very much.
Chief,
Quan Guanqing is a slime ball!
Don't waste your breath on him!
According to our rules, he should be put to death!
If Quan Guanqing could convince so many people to turn against me,
then there must still be a more important reason.
Brothers,
what have I, Qiao Feng,
done wrong?
Please explain it to me!
Chief Qiao...
The kind of a person you are,
I cannot determine.
Please, just kill me!
Elder Wu,
just what did Qiao Feng do wrong?
This...
This matter affects the Beggar Sect greatly...
If word got out,
the Sect will never be able to
lift up its head in the world again!
We originally thought to just kill you...
Why?
Why?!
Just because I saved two people
who work for Mu Rong Fu,
so you think I am allied with him?
But don't forget,
your mutiny came first,
and only I saved lives after!
My brothers,
when I was on the road to Wuxi,
I met a good man...
Out of my way!
Let me pass first!
You let me pass first!
Get out of the way!
You get out of the way!
Fine,
we've already wasted two hours here.
I won't give way,
even if we waste another four hours.
As long as you don't care that the crap I'm hauling stinks,
then we can just continue this!
Fine,
fine.
You're the one carrying the crap,
so as long as you're not afraid of getting tired,
we can continue this all day.
You...
Old man,
who do you think will win
in a battle of patience?
You have won indeed.
So why don't you take these buckets
and I'll just stand here.
Then we'll see who wins?
You're right.
Give it to me!
Here!
What are you doing?
I'll hold it like this
and not change hands.
We'll continue in this fashion,
and whoever loses
will have to drink all of this up!
That was fun!
Fun!
This person had been dowsed with manure.
It would have been easy to kill the villager.
But he refused to brag with his skills.
I witnessed
this event personally.
Tell me,
was that man a good man?
Yes, he was a good man!
A pity the Chief did not ask his name,
to let us all know
there is such a good man in the world.
Elder Chen,
you just fought with this man,
and you even poisoned him.
It was Feng Boe?
That's right!
Elder Chen,
we consider ourselves the greatest Sect
in the martial arts world,
and you are
an important person in the Sect.
Your skills and reputation cannot be considered
on the same level with the Jiangnan warrior, Feng Boe.
Feng Boe can withstand humiliation
without batting an eyelid,
so how can the experts of the Beggar Sect
be less tolerant than him?
You are correct. I realize I was wrong.
Feng Boe knows right from wrong.
Bao Butong is free as the wind.
And these three ladies are kind and gentle.
These are either subordinates of Sir Mu Rong,
or his relatives.
"Birds of a feather flock together. You are defined by the company you keep."
My brothers,
we must consider this
calmly and carefully.
These are the people
who associate with Sir Mu Rong.
If they are so kind,
how could he be such a bad person?
The Chief is right!
He speaks with reason!
Chief! So according to you,
Mu Rong Fu was definitely not the one
who killed Deputy Ma?
We still have no idea
who the murderer is.
But if I find out it was indeed Mu Rong Fu who did it,
I will capture him
and avenge Deputy Ma personally!
But...
if we kill a wrong man
on the basis of wild guesses,
while the real murderer is scot-free,
laughing at the Sect's inability to find him,
then we would have
killed an innocent man
and tarnished our good name!
How could we ever presume to show ourselves
in the martial arts world again?
Chief,
we betrayed you
because we misunderstood you.
Thinking back on it now,
we really were foolish.
Elder Bai,
let us end our lives
with the Penalty Sword,
just as the rules dictate!
Brothers,
bring the Penalty Sword out!
Yes!
BLUEMAX
The Elders Song, Xi, Chen and Wu
have betrayed the Sect
because of rumors,
and have thus harmed the interests of the Sect.
They deserve death.
Overseer of Da Zhi, Quan Guanqing,
has roused the crowd and caused internal strife.
His sentence is to be stabbed to death by nine swords.
The rest of the betrayers
will be dealt with
according to their responsibilities
in the coup.
Chief,
I, Wu Changfeng, have betrayed you.
I shall take my own life.
I only hope that after I die,
you will forgive me!
Elder Zhifa,
untie me!
Wait!
Chief,
is my sin is so great,
that you not allow me to kill myself?
Fifteen years ago,
the Khitans came to invade our country.
When Elder Song received this news,
he traveled day and night,
without food or sleep,
to report this to the military.
The journey caused him internal injuries
so he was vomiting blood.
But finally, we were able to vanquish the Khitan dogs!
This is a great patriotic deed!
Elder Zhifa,
Elder Song
has performed many great deeds.
Please reconsider
and let him work to atone for his mistakes instead.
Chief, you speak with reason
in defense of Elder Song,
but the Sect rules state
that betrayal must not be spared,
just as good deeds must be rewarded.
Chief, your pleading goes against the rules.
We cannot bend the rules.
Elder Zhifa's words
are correct.
As Elders,
which one of us have not toiled for the Sect before?
If everybody gets to bring up their past good deeds
then no one will get punished!
Chief,
please let me end my life!
Forget it,
forget it.
For even daring to think of killing you,
I deserve to die!
Please,
kill me!
Chief!
Chief,
no!
Elder Bai,
the rules also say,
while brothers of the Sect cannot be spared if they go against the rules,
yet if the Chief wishes to extend his mercies,
he may wash their sins clean with his blood.
Is that not right?
Yes, there is such a rule,
but before you bleed for others, Chief,
you must consider if it is worth it!
As long as we do not betray our tradition,
it is worth it.
When Chief Wang
was captured by the five experts of Khitan,
they were pressuring us to surrender to them.
Elder Xi pretended to be Chief Wang,
was willing to die in his place,
and helped him escape.
This is a service to both country and Sect,
so I must pardon his crime.
Chief!
Chief Qiao,
we haven't been close,
and I've often offend you.
I cannot ask for your blood to spare my life!
Elder Chen,
I am but a big brute
who would rather drink strong wine and eat meat
with the first and
second class disciples.
Everybody knows of my temper,
but if you think that
I wished to get rid of you and Deputy Ma,
then you're wrong.
You and Deputy Ma were
always solemn and sober;
those are your good points.
I cannot compare to you!
A few years ago,
when the Khitans invaded in huge numbers,
their General died violently and
they were forced to retreat.
Thus did our country, Great Song, avert a disaster.
The one who assassinated the General Yelu Bulu
was none other but our Elder Chen!
