♫ Heroes of Huaxia(Hua Xia Ying Xiong) ♫ DENG CHAO
When all started in the heaven Dang yi qie kai shi zai tian
When all were no longer silent Dang wan wu bu zai shi shen mo
Who gave me a dream containing a slice of blue sky Shei gei wo yi ge meng, meng zhong you yi pian tian kong
Telling me the color of life? Gao su wo sheng ming de yan se
From hence on, I bid farewell to all loneliness Cong ci gao bie suo you ji mo
Only waiting for sunrise and sunset everyday Deng dai mei tian ri sheng ri luo
When fresh blood covers the sky Dang xian xue yan gai le tian
When the country is seeking real heroes Dang hua xia xun zhao zhen de ying xiong
Who will give a sword pointing the way out Shei gei wo yi bai jian, jian zhi xiang yi tiao chu lu
Telling me to march forward with a smile? Gao su wo yao xiao zhe zou guo
Committed to saber and sword for life Dao jian xiang yue yi sheng
The butterflies can never fly across the blue dome of sky Hu die fei bu guo cang qiong
As the meteor passes by, life changes in a flash Deng dai liu xing hua guo, cang hai sang tian
On the banks of the icy lake of tears Bing lei hu de an bian
Helplessly, the saber and sword flashes by Wu nai dao jian hua guo
My beloved left me with a thousand years of longing Yi ren liu xia qian nian de si nian
Far away at the ends of the earth, someone is singing Zong ran yuan gu tian bian, shei zai ge chang
A tune that mourns the lingering loss of a lifetime Ji nian yi luo yi shi de chan mian
With eyes longing Ning wang de yan shen
For love Ai lian

Mr. Chang...
We are about to jump. Will you save us?
Mr. Chang, you will save us, won't you?
Yes, I will. Jump!
Please catch us, Mr. Chang.
Here we go.
- Jump. Let me jump first. Dodge. - Jump!
Here comes another one.
Chi-Yeuk, let's go.
- Mo-Kei. - Uncle, Chi-Yeuk hasn't come yet.
- Save yourself first. - Uncle.
Jump!
Ching-Shu.
You alright, Ching-Shu?
Thank you.
Jump...!
Merciless Nun.
Master Fu told me that.
I didn't make it up.
Did you tell him that?
Yes, he did.
Tell what?
That you and I are...
Yes, he did.
Did you say that or not?
No, I didn't. He said it.
Cut your crap. Answer me honestly!
He told us that.
You mean guy.
I'll throw your senior onto the ground.
Senior.
What's going on?
Jump right away, ma'am.
Or it'll be too late.
You monster!
Don't shed crocodile tears to me.
Get out of my sight!
Alright. I'll go.
You wait for your death then. Goodbye.
You alright? You've suffered a lot.
Not at all.
If it weren't for you,
all of us would die here tonight.
I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't do my duty well.
Don't say that. Let's save the others.
Master...
Let's leave here, master.
Are you OK, master?
I'm fine.
Man-Kwan. Ching-Yuen. Leave with all our members.
Let's leave together, master.
I'll take a rest first. You go first.
- Master. - Move!
Well, master...
We're leaving.
Come on. Let's jump one by one.
Why don't you go ahead?
Unless you go with me, I won't go, master.
What do we do now? Shall we jump or not?
We can't wait anymore. Let's jump.
Look! The flame has grown bigger. Jump!
Let's leave here together, master.
It's an order. You go first.
Unless you go with me, I won't go.
- Our sect relies on you from now on. - Master.
Let's jump together, master.
You jump first. It's an order. Now!
Miss Chow.
Chang Mo-Kei. I dare you to touch her!
Chi-Yeuk.
Master...
Chi-Yeuk, stop crying. From now on,
you're the new lord of our sect.
You mustn't go back on your words.
You really want Chi-Yeuk to take over your position, master?
Right.
Master. I'm not capable enough to be the leader.
Chi-Yeuk.
You want me to die with regret?
Master...
I'll stick to your words, master.
Good. Our sect relies on you now.
I'll die without regret.
What're you doing here?
Ma'am. I'm here to treat you.
Keep back! Go away!
I'll take you back to Emei right away, master.
Let's talk about this after you recover.
Chang Mo-Kei.
Ma'am.
Listen up!
If you dare touch my dear disciple Chi-Yeuk,
my spirit will come back to take your life.
- Master... - Ma'am...
Master... Don't do this to us.
We'll take you back to Emei right away.
Master...
Let's go back to Emei. Move!
Mo-Kei...Are you OK?
Are you OK, Mo-Kei?
I'm fine.
I'm just a little worn out. I'm OK.
Alright. Gentlemen, listen!
Let's leave for the west gate.
The soldiers will be here soon.
We must leave this place right away. Move!
Right.
On my back, Mo-Kei.
Let's go. Hurry!
Those soldiers didn't expect we'd take this way,
so I don't think they can catch up with us.
We'll be safe for a while.
You're right.
But to avoid the soldiers,
we still have to take the lanes.
What do you think?
Good idea. Let's discuss it with Mo-Kei later.
You feel any better, my lord?
I'm fine now.
Just a little worn out last night.
By the way, Mr. Wai,
I want you to go to Beijing to see if the Emei people are safe.
They are not with other warriors. I'm worried about them.
After you've got the news,
meet us in the obsolete temple outside the city.
Yes, my lord.
See you, Wai. Get going.
- Amitabha! - See you.
Gentlemen.
If it hadn't been for Mr. Chang and his men,
we people from the six main sects would have died in the fire.
We took the Parseeists as our enemies before.
But Mr. Chang repaid injury with kindness and saved us all.
Let's write off our old grudge at one stroke.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chang.
Not at all, gentlemen.
We're out of danger now.
Let's say goodbye here.
See you...
Later, we'll contact all of you
to discuss how to revolt the government.
It's all your call, my lord.
- Mo-Kei. - Uncle. - Come over here.
Your uncles are waiting for you.
Come on.
My lord.
Please be seated, boys.
Are you OK, Mo-Kei?
This is not far away from the city.
We escaped from the Temple of Grace last night.
Prince Chaghan won't let the matter rest.
We'd better leave here as soon as possible.
Right. We haven't fully recovered yet.
It's not the right time to fight the soldiers.
We'd better avoid them.
You feel any better, Uncle Sung?
I feel much better now.
Have you recovered from the sword cut?
Yes, I have.
Mo-Kei.
Did you lead the Parseeists to save us?
Right. Well...
I'll explain this to you later.
How do you feel now, Mo-Kei?
How did you become the leader of the Parseeists?
Well, that's a long story.
Do those men obey you?
You must be careful with their evilness, Mo-Kei.
Don't worry, uncle. I can handle it.
Glad to hear that.
Mo-Kei. If you have time,
go back to Wudang to see your great master.
He will be very happy to see you.
Right.
Well. I've been to Wudang days before
and have seen great master.
When?
It's a long story.
I have an emergency for now.
I'm afraid I can't tell you the details now.
After my work is done,
I'll go back to Wudang to see you and great master.
Alright. We'll be waiting for you.
Do remember to come back to see us.
Whatever you'd become,
you'll always be our nephew.
That's for sure.
Mo-Kei, you're kind and honest.
Those Parseeists are no simple men.
You must be careful with them.
Don't worry, uncle.
My lord, we'd better get going.
See you, uncles.
Take care.
Take care, uncles.
Mo-Kei.
If you need any help, let us know.
We'll try our best to help you.
- Take care. - Take care.
Ladies. Master is gone and I've succeeded her rank.
As the new leader of our sect,
I should escort master's ashes back to Emei.
But master left me an important task,
and I have to go back to Beijing to deal with it.
Ladies, please go back to Mt. Emei first.
Something bad may happen soon.
Our reputation is now at stake.
Wai.
Good work.
What news?
How are things with the Emei people?
I just returned from Beijing.
They've gone through the pass safely.
Those nuns might have gone back to Emei.
- Good. - Uncle Yeung.
I have something to discuss with you.
Please go ahead, my lord.
Miss Chiu asked me for the Dragon Sabre.
She said she just wanted to take a close look at it.
I know she has some motive.
But I've promised to do three things for her.
This is the first one.
Ifl turn her down,
I'm afraid she'll come up with some worse idea.
Besides, as a man, I must keep my promise.
So...
- Your call, my lord. - Your call, my lord.
Alright. I'll go back to the city then.
Wai, I want you to go to the south,
gather the Water Banner,
hire a boat and load it with enough food.
Meet me on Dinghai Port at Qingyuan Road.
We'll sail out together to fetch my godfather.
Don't worry, my lord. I'll take care of it.
Alright. See you then. Yah!
Got you! What're you doing?
I'm sewing a coat. It's not done yet.
What took you so long, Brother Mo-Kei?
Well, I went around the city.
Brother Mo-Kei.
Brother Mo-kei.
What're you thinking about?
Siu-Chiu. I'm leaving for a distant place,
and I can't take you with me.
But I've found a new house for you.
You can live there.
Are you leaving me, Brother Mo-Kei?
You want to get rid of me, don't you?
Siu-Chiu. I'm leaving for a distant place.
I don't even know when I can come back.
Ever since I met you on the Bright Peak,
I've been determined to serve you forever.
I'll stick to you all my life.
Unless you kill me, you can't get rid of me.
Are you fed up with me, so you want to get rid of me?
That's not true, Siu-Chiu. I like you. You know that!
How about this?
I'll come to see you as soon as I come back, OK?
Brother Mo-Kei. I don't care how dangerous this trip will be,
but please take me with you, OK?
To tell you the truth,
I'll launch out with Chiu Man. It'll be a very dangerous trip.
I don't want you to take the risk.
If Miss Chiu is going with you,
I must go with you.
Why?
She...She is a crafty and cruel girl.
Who knows what she'll do to you again?
So I must go and take care of you.
Alright. You'll come, too.
Don't be happy so early.
Don't complain if you may suffer seasickness.
Absolutely not! Ifl do that,
you can throw me into the ocean to feed the fishes.
Why would I do that?
Let me help you change your coat.
What're you sighing for?
You care about too many girls.
First, Miss Chow of Emei.
Then Miss Chiu, Prince Chaghan's daughter.
Maybe many others.
But I'm just nobody to you.
Siu-Chiu. I know you care about me.
I'm not an ungrateful guy.
I'll repay you.
I'm not asking for anything from you.
As long as you let me serve you all my life,
I'll be very happy.
Turn around.
Come on.
We have to do it again.
You want to lock me with it, huh?
By the way, tomorrow, when we see Miss Chiu,
I'll borrow the Heaven Sword from her
to cut off the iron chain on you. OK?
Great! Thank you very much, Brother Mo-Kei.
Not at all, Siu-Chiu.
Dodge. Make way!
Yah...
There're too many soldiers here.
Let's avoid them.
Yah! Make way! Yah...
Let's go. Hurry!
Lady, would you like to make a stopover or to lodge?
Sir, I'm here to look for someone.
Look for someone? Who're you looking for?
Excuse me.
Is there a Mr. Chang lodging in your inn?
He may have used a fake name,
but he's about 20 years old and a little tall.
Lady, you got me.
We have many young men at about 20,
but we don't have many under the name Chang here.
- Thank you all the same. - Not at all.
It's about time, Mr. Chang.
Brother Mo-Kei, you go ahead.
I'll wait for you here.
Alright.
Sorry for the offense last night, Miss Chiu.
My father's concubine was coquettish.
I hated her to the bone.
I should thank you for getting rid of her.
My mom praised you for that, too.
As for those outlaws, they were no use to me.
They wouldn't obey the government anyway.
Did they thank you for saving their lives?
I suppose nobody in the martial world
enjoys more prestige than you do now.
Come on. To your outstanding skills!
Cheers!
- My lord. - Your highness.
I'm here to say goodbye to you.
Good for you, Master Fu.
You fooled me all the time.
My real name is Fan Yiu,
2nd Deputy Chief of Parseeists.
The government wants our sect erased.
I wormed myself into your mansion just to get information.
You've been nice to me, your highness.
For that, I feel grateful.
Cut your crap. Just leave!
You may not like this.
But from now on, you're my enemy.
I need to make this clear to you.
After all, I owe you much.
Mr. Chang.
I wonder how you made all your men so loyal to you.
We people live for the poor and for justice.
The first time I met Mr. Fan,
we both felt like we had known each other forever,
and we respect each other whole-heartedly.
You had my words, my lord.
I share the same mind.
You must be careful, my lord.
Miss Chiu is young, but she's very cruel.
She's no small opponent.
You're always too kind. Do be careful with her.
I will. Thank you, Mr. Fan.
Thank you for your compliments, Master Fu.
Goodbye.
You...
- You... - What's up?
Nothing.
She looks so much like an old friend of mine.
The signs of Emei!
Seems they've run into trouble again.
Mr. Chang. Why don't we go find out what's going on?
How did you know it was them?
Back then,
some of my men spent days following them in Tibet
and finally got that old woman.
So I'm quite familiar with their way of contact.
Alright. Let's find out.
By the way, I have one favor to ask.
May I borrow your Heaven Sword for a while?
You haven't lent me the Dragon Sabre yet.
Now you're borrowing things from me?
Don't you ask for too much! Take it.
Thank you.
- Thank you, master. - Thank you, your highness.
You're so lovely.
I bet your master favors you much.
The Emei people have gone toward the northeast.
Let's catch up with them.
Miss Chiu, your sword.
You're the youngest among our members,
far less capable than any of us.
You're not good enough to be our leader.
You're right, sister.
I'm the youngest among our sect members.
I'm neither experienced enough nor qualified to be the leader.
I once reminded our late master of that, too,
but she criticized me for that.
She even made me swear to never violate her last words.
Chow.
That day, on the top of the Temple of Grace,
we heard the conversation
between Master Fu and the Crane-headed Pen.
Then we finally knew who your parents were
and why master had favored you so much.
You can't be clearer about that, can you?
Ting.
I know you're not convinced about my leadership.
My surname is Chow.
My father was a boatman.
And my mother's surname was Sit.
Back then, Master Chang saved me and sent me to Emei.
Everyone in our sect knows it.
Master just passed away,
but you misbelieved others' nonsense
and even harmed master's fame. You're so rude.
I harmed master's fame? Are you judging me?
You are not yet our leader.
None of us support you.
But even under such circumstances,
you judged me as if you had all the authority.
You want to punish me, don't you?
Answer my question honestly, Chow.
As the new leader of our sect,
you're supposed to go back to Emei right away.
Master just passed away.
There're lots of affairs waiting to be dealt with.
However,
you came back to Beijing alone.
How do you explain this?
Before I left,
I had told you about my journey here.
Master left me an important task, an urgent task as well.
I had to come back here to finish it.
What task? There's no outsider here.
You can tell us the truth.
It's our sect's top secret.
Only the leader is supposed to know it,
so I can't tell you.
You think you can blindfold us so easily?
We are not three years old!
One more question.
The Parseeists are our sworn enemies.
They have killed lots of our members,
and in return,
master killed many of them with the Heaven Sword.
Master fell to death
because she wouldn't accept their leader's help.
But soon after master's death,
you secretly came here to see that licentious bastard.
How do you explain this?
Senior, tell us the truth.
Right. Tell us the whole thing.
Right. Senior.
Tell us the whole thing.
What should I explain?
Still denying?
You told us you needed to come back here,
but when we asked about the reason,
you couldn't give us a clear answer.
We sensed something was wrong,
so we followed you.
We knew you were looking for that licentious bastard.
You think you can blindfold us?
- You licentious bastard! - Hey...
I'm telling the truth.
We witnessed it with our own eyes.
Back then, on the Bright Peak,
master told you to stab that bastard.
But he just stood there and even smiled at you.
You made eyes at him
and then lightly hit him with the Heaven Sword.
The Heaven Sword is very sharp,
yet he survived the injury.
Obviously there was something between you and him.
That is not true!
I never made eyes at him. Stop defaming me.
You feel ashamed now?
What is done by night appears by day.
Remember how you asked about that bastard.
"Sir, is there a Mr. Chang lodging here? "
Ching-Yuen and I heard it clearly.
Ching-Yuen, say something.
Well...
So I brought all our members here
to ask you for an explanation.
Chow.
Back then,
Master Chang sent you to us.
And Master Chang is that bastard's great master.
God knows if you and that bastard are in some secret relations.
Sisters.
If our late master had known about this,
she wouldn't have made this bitch our leader.
Now, in name of our late master,
Iet's make Chow hand over the Iron Ring, the leader's token.
Then we'll elect someone else,
someone more capable and stronger than Chow,
to be our leader.
I agree with Ting.
If Chow does have an affair with that licentious Parseeist,
she is unqualified to be our leader.
Right. The Parseeists are our sworn enemies.
Right.
The Parseeists are our sworn enemies.
Since master gave the Iron Ring to me,
I will never hand it out.
I never wanted to be your leader,
but I've promised master to finish the task she gave me.
So I mustn't fail her will.
I'm afraid you'll have to hand out the Iron Ring.
You longed for sexual lust
and betrayed our fellows.
You've violated the top sect taboos.
You're unqualified to be the leader.
Look, Chow is doomed!
Call me sister and I'll go help her out of the trouble.
No?
Alright. You go help her. I'm leaving.
Sister.
I can't hear you. Speak louder.
Sister.
Who's that? Come out.
What are you people from Emei doing here at such a late midnight?
What're you doing here, Elderly Golden Flower?
Where's your master? I want to see her.
My master passed away yesterday.
Don't tell us you don't know that.
What? Merciless Nun is dead?
Why?
When did she die?
How come?
When did she die? How did she die?
Answer me!
So far, I've only lost for once.
That was due to the Heaven Sword.
All these years, I've been looking for a sharp weapon
to fight your master again.
My efforts didn't go in vain.
Finally, I ran into one of my friends.
He has promised to lend his sabre to me.
I heard that your master was captured,
so I came all the way here to save her.
But still I came too late.
Where's your master?
Merciless Nun, come out!
I dare you to fight me again!
With your Heaven Sword!
I'll beat you down today. Come out!
Come out...
If my master was still here,
you'd only lose once again.
I dare you to say that again!
Good!
Old woman, you're asking for death.
Merciless Nun was a heroic woman.
It's so sad that none of her disciples is capable enough
to take over her position.
Ma'am.
I'm Chow Chi-Yeuk, the fourth leader of Emei.
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
Shame on you!
We never agreed to make you our leader.
Shut up! Miss Chow is a kind girl.
Last time, on the trip to the Bright Peak,
she took good care of me.
No one is more qualified than her to be your leader!
Who do you think you are? Listen!
If you dare to say rude to my grandma again,
I'll slap your face. I mean it!
Please don't, sister.
Ma'am. I apologize for my senior.
Obviously, none of us here is any match for you if we're to fight.
However, we are not to accept easy insult.
Good. Very courageous indeed!
You can be my student.
I might be young and weak,
but I will never give in for fear of death.
Very tough, huh? Merciless Nun selected a right person.
You're not strong enough,
but you're a woman of spirit. That's good.
You can enhance your kung-fu in future.
But a fox may grow gray, but never good.
Elderly Golden Flower.
Reactivate our leader right away,
or we'll fight you.
You think you can beat me?
Just your people here?
No way! I can kill you all with a thumb!
Miss Chow. Which style of kung-fu is better?
The Emei style or mine?
Of course the Emei style.
You once lost to my late master.
You forgot that?
The Heaven Sword gave her the advantage.
It was no fair fight at all.
Ma'am. Answer my question honestly.
If you had fought my master without any weapon,
who would have won?
I've no idea.
That's why I came here to fight your master again.
What a pity that she is already dead!
Merciless Nun is dead.
Without her domination,
Emei will be doomed.
Are you convinced, Miss Chow?
Our kung-fu is too profound and requires years of practice.
We're not your opponents now, but we're still young.
In time, we'll grow strong enough to beat you.
Nice talk!
Alright then. I'll come to save your fellows
after you've become strong enough. See you.
Please wait, ma'am.
Please save my fellows now.
Want me to save your fellows?
I can do that, but later,
whenever you see my disciple and me,
you must make way for us. What do you think?
You don't want to destroy your sect's reputation?
OK then. If you lend me the Heaven Sword,
I'll save them.
We were captured by the soldiers
and imprisoned in a high tower.
Someone has taken the Heaven Sword away from us.
I can't save your fellows for no reason.
Seems you'll have to give up your life for theirs.
Look. This is a severely poisonous pill.
If you swallow it, I'll save your fellows.
That's fake, jerk. I don't think that's poisonous.
Don't take it, Chow.
Shut up!
