Zhang WuJi! How dare you impugn the royal Court!
Are you rebelling?
I am a rebel. Didn't you know?
I came to chat, not to fight.
I won't argue with you.
Little beauty.
I'll unseal your acupoints
but don't make a sound.
You...!
Don't blame me.
Blame your own lust.
Hear my true name.
Ming Sect Right Envoy, Fan Yao!
If I kill you now, I'd be no hero.
I'll spare your life.
Feel free to find me for revenge.
Thank you for this antidote.
Zhiruo, I know this is abrupt, but I trust my decision.
Teacher. I'm young and inexperienced.
I won't be a competent leader.
I'm sure you can escape. I...
Don't take it off!
Teacher!
Do you dare defy my command?
But I'm not capable.
Zhiruo...
It's not from bias that I chose you over your Seniors.
It's because an E-Mei leader needs outstanding kungfu
to stand among Wulin heroes.
My skills lag behind my Seniors.
They've reached their limits
and won't improve further.
It's natural ability
that nothing can change.
You may be inferior to them now
but your potential is unlimited.
Unlimited...
Right, unlimited. That's it.
You're now E-Mei Leader.
There's a great secret I must tell you.
Do you know the origins of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre?
I don't.
E-Mei founder, Guo Xiang, was Guo Jing's daughter.
Great Hero Guo Jing had two consummate skills,
military strategy and kungfu.
To pass his skills to posterity,
Yang Guo's black steel sword was melted by a craftsman
and forged with gold into Dragon Sabre and Heaven Sword.
A Military Manual was hidden in Dragon Sabre.
Two kungfu manuals were put in Heaven Sword...
'JiuYin (9 Yin) Zhenjing'
and '18 Dragon Subduing Palms'.
Yang Guo hoped someone would master the skills
and uphold justice for Heaven.
But people only see Dragon Sabre as precious,
equalled by Heaven Sword.
No one knows why they're revered.
A pity I was tricked into giving up Heaven Sword.
It fell into Ming Sect hands.
Heaven Sword was seized by Miss Zhao.
She's in league with the wicked Ming chief!
Master Zhang isn't wicked.
Are you defending Zhang WuJi?
I have a reason for passing you the leadership.
I, a respectable leader, fell into the hands
of despicable people.
This humiliation dishonoured me.
I brought shame upon E-Mei.
I don't want to leave this pagoda alive!
Teacher, no...!
Hear me out.
That evil Ming chief has designs on you.
He won't harm your life.
Pretend to get close to him, then seize Heaven Sword!
Dragon Sabre is with Xie Xun.
Numerous people tried in vain
to make Zhang WuJi divulge Xie Xun's whereabouts.
But only one person can persuade him
to get Dragon Sabre.
That person is you!
Teacher, I can't!
Defying my order is betraying your Sect.
Teacher, I will obey you...
and do all you ask of me...
except plot against Zhang WuJi.
You have feelings for him?
You still won't tell the truth?
I admit...I feel something for him.
Zhang WuJi is a kind man
who has never done me harm.
He helped me many times.
If you insist I hurt Zhang WuJi,
I'd rather die.
Thank you for bringing me up.
Zhiruo!
Why must you do this?
I didn't say to kill yourself!
I don't wish to defy you
nor harm Zhang WuJi. I'd rather...
Alright. Forget it.
I see your other side now. You seem gentle and obedient
but you have strong character.
Teacher.
Alright.
Child, don't cry.
Child...
It contravenes chivalry to seduce a man for the Sword
but consider that trivial.
Heaven Sword is with Zhao Min.
Dragon Sabre is with the great villain Xie Xun.
If Zhang collaborates with them
and gets Guo Jing's manuals,
disaster will befall the people
with countless lives lost and families broken.
It will be even harder to drive out the Mongols.
Zhiruo, this is painful for you.
I'm reluctant to let you bear the burden alone.
But why else did we train?
Child, for the common people,
I beseech you.
Teacher, please...
I'll kneel till you agree.
Please don't force me.
You're right. I'm forcing you.
I'm begging you.
Teacher, in this short time,
you asked me to vow three hard things.
First, never fall in love with Zhang WuJi.
Next, be your successor.
After that, trick Zhang WuJi
into getting me Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre.
Even if you gave me ten years, I'd be in a bind.
Yet you give me little time to accept.
Teacher, it's too much to bear.
I.....
Zhiruo...
- Which one? - Here.
Lu is the princess' guard. I dared not enter.
Prince.
What happened? Speak!
We got tricked by Ku Toutuo.
Ku Toutuo?
Master Ku.
Zhao Min sent you to kill us?!
Qingshu.
- Dad. - Step back.
Master Ku killed the guards. He won't harm us.
Hero Song, you're a worthy WuDang leader.
I'm Ming Right Envoy, Fan Yao.
Chief sent me with the antidote.
Might be a trick.
Take it or leave it.
I need to distribute the antidote.
Uncle, what if it's poison?
Captivity is worse than death. If it's an antidote, rejoice.
If it's poison, we'll gladly die sooner.
- Right. Let's take it. - Now.
Teacher, please rise.
Not until you accede to my requests.
You taught me and mothered me.
Teacher, you brought me up.
I owe you deep gratitude.
I should never defy you.
Zhiruo, you agree then?
Good.
Child, get up.
Good child, listen well.
On getting the Sword and Sabre, seclude yourself.
One in each hand, strike them together with internal energy
and they will break apart.
The secret manuals are inside.
It's the only way to get them.
It will destroy the prized weapons.
Do you understand?
Maybe you wonder why, over the past decades,
no one found out this secret.
The two weapons were so precious, nobody risked them.
This is E-Mei's greatest secret,
passed from one leader to the next.
Zhiruo, that's why I made you my successor.
Give the Military Manual to a benevolent patriot.
Make him vow to expel the Mongols.
Take the martial arts manuals and train yourself.
18 Dragon Subduing Palms uses male yang energy
unsuitable for you.
Learn the Nine Yin Manual.
I had two great wishes.
One is to drive the Mongols from our nation.
The other wish is to expand E-Mei's martial arts
to surpass Shaolin and WuDang and be number one.
They're no easy goals.
But follow my instructions
and you can accomplish both.
When you achieve success,
I, in the netherworld,
will be grateful to you.
So you're here.
Here's the antidote to 10-Fragrance Powder.
Take it now.
You people are a nuisance!
Why must I keep explaining?
I, Ming Envoy Fan Yao, stole this antidote for you.
You fiendish Devil Cult villain!
Why would I...
What joke are you playing? Get out!
Say no more! Exasperating!
You scorned my kindness,
nasty old nun!
If I still had the energy,
I'd slap you hard!
You...
Alright, you're smart
to see through my trick.
I came to fool you.
This is lethal poison.
Take it if you have guts.
It'll rupture your innards.
It gives you a horrible and terrible death.
Teacher! Teacher!
You take it too!
Don't harm her!
Teacher!
Quick, spit out the poison! Quickly!
No point. It's in her gut.
All Shaolin and WuDang masters took my poison.
You'll soon find out what Ming Sect is up to.
You...!
Heaven wants E-Mei's end!
Teacher...
Zhiruo, you took his poison.
All my efforts are wasted.
Heaven is destroying E-Mei.
Teacher...
You're getting drunk.
Do you care for me?
I care for all my friends.
Yes, I forgot. We're friends.
Miss Zhao, it's late.
Let me escort you home.
Won't you give a friend a bit more company?
Fine. I'll stay and drink and chat.
You're still unhappy?
No. I'm happy.
So why'd you sigh?
Sometimes I think, if I'm not a Mongolian,
and not a princess,
but a Han girl like Miss Zhou,
you might treat me better.
Master Zhang. Am I prettier or Miss Zhou?
You're prettier.
You really mean it?
I want you to say it.
I won't tease.
Master Zhang.
Do you like seeing me?
Would you see me whenever I invite you here?
Why won't you answer?
I won't be staying long.
Soon I'll go south.
South? Why go there?
You can guess. If I say it, you'll be angry.
Did you forget you promised to do three tasks?
I didn't forget. Ask and I'll do my best.
Now your first task is
to accompany me to get Dragon Sabre!
You won't do it?
Everybody knows Godfather has Dragon Sabre.
Master Zhang.
I didn't ask you to violate chivalry. You can do it.
Dragon Sabre belongs to my Godfather.
How can I betray him and seize it?
I don't want to seize it.
I just want to borrow it
for two hours, and return it after playing with it.
He won't refuse his godson.
And I won't use the Sabre for crimes.
It's not against righteous behaviour.
The Sabre isn't worth looking at.
It's just heavy and sharp.
Still, it's said...
"Precious dragon slaying sabre commands all."
"Heaven Reliant won't appear; who can compete?"
I want to see Dragon Sabre.
Master Zhang, you can guard me with one strike.
With your kungfu level, I can't sneak it away.
Will you agree?
Let me consider.
Zhao Min only wants the Sabre for two hours.
If she's up to mischief, I can stop her.
But Godfather said the Sabre has a big secret.
He couldn't unriddle it before he went blind.
Miss Zhao won't figure it out in two hours.
I saw Godfather 10 years ago.
He may have solved the Sabre's secret.
If you're unwilling, forget it.
But I can think up something more difficult.
Fine, I'll borrow the Sabre, but only for two hours.
If you run off with it, I must stop you.
Don't worry. The Sabre is too heavy for me to use.
When will you leave?
In a few days.
That's great. I'll get ready.
Let me know when we're leaving.
You're coming too?
Of course. Your Godfather lives on a remote island.
Why should you go so far to bring me the Sabre,
then travel back to return it?
That's unreasonable.
You're right. The North Sea is choppy.
Reaching Fire-Ice Island is uncertain.
I'm not confident I can make three trips.
Godfather has lived there 20 years.
I have no idea if he'd return to Central Plains.
So you'll take me along?
Miss Zhao, why risk your life on the merciless sea?
If you risk it, why can't I?
Will your father let you go?
He gave me full command
and never stopped me from travelling widely.
Prince Ruyang gave her full command?
I can't know when I'll return from Fire-Ice Island.
What if she destroys my Sect while I'm gone? Best be wary.
But if she's with me,
her subordinates might back down.
I'll have less worry.
Master Ku! Get down here!
Respects to Prince.
I won't come down!
I won't be a lamb for slaughter!
Damn you! Get down or I'll drag you down!
If you dare come up,
I'll throw down Lu and the concubine!
Master Ku! Set Han Shi free!
Sorry, Prince. I can't oblige.
Something's amiss!
Master He.
Ku Toutuo is stalling.
What's he up to?
Prince, Ku Toutuo stole Master Lu's antidote
in an attempt to rescue the rebels in the pagoda.
I get it!
Men! Set the pagoda on fire!
Yes!
Hurry!
Archers, shoot anyone who jumps!
Yes.
Prince! My Senior's up there!
Ku Toutuo won't hide forever!
He'll jump when it's on fire!
But he threatened to throw Senior down!
Please don't light the fire!
We can't let the Sect captives escape.
Who'll answer for the blunder!
I can't aid my concubine,
much less Lu Zhangke!
Set it ablaze!
No!
Master He, you dare defy me?
Don't start the fire! I want to save Senior!
Get him!
Yes.
Burn it!
Wang Bao Bao, you cruelly ignored your concubine?
Why are you so quiet?
Alright, I'll tell you before I set off.
Isn't that Wan'An Temple?
Oh no! Wan’An Temple is on fire!
Master Ku!
Miss Zhao, I must go.
Wait! I'm coming too!
The prince set a fire in disregard of your lives!
I must rescue the captives!
Is the poison neutralised?
Almost.
The Mongols set the Pagoda on fire! Flee!
Quickly!
Everyone?
Has everyone's strength recovered?
Amituofo. Thanks for saving us.
Yes.
Sorry we wronged you.
My apologies.
I'm only carrying out my Chief's instructions.
Wang Baobao set this pagoda on fire. It's beyond control.
We must find a way to escape.
Listen! Don't come nearer or I'll throw Lu down
into a bloody mess!
Master Ku! Lu and I were never your enemies.
Why do this to us?
Ku, if you want to save your old lover Miejue...
and your child Zhou Zhiruo, I won't stop you!
Just set my Senior free.
I'll honour my promise. I won't break it.
You dare utter rubbish!
Teacher!
Save your breath! Lu Zhangke is my hostage.
Who? Who uttered rubbish?!
Who?!
Priestess, it was Elder He!
Outrageous!
Teacher...
Zhiruo, are you alright?
You dirty mouth!
What rot are you spouting?
Priestess, talk to your... old friend.
Get him to free Lu.
I'll let your family of three go safely.
Family of three? Make yourself clear!
He said we're lovers, and Zhiruo's our child.
I don't mind this slur, since I'm thick-skinned.
But you're of high repute. Your chastity...
Shut up!
You devil! Get up here and we'll fight!
I'm not lying. Master Ku...
Who's that?!
Yang Xiao! A timely arrival!
Men, get him!
Shoot!
Wang Bao Bao!
Charge!
It's Chief!
Envoy Yang, I said not to come.
I was worried. Zhu YuanZhang's on his way.
Rebels of Ming Sect!
I'll kill all who dare come!
Envoy Fan! How's the situation?
Bad. We're stranded.
We can jump to our deaths
or be burned alive!
Charge!
Bat King?
Come with me to set fire to Ruyang Palace!
But what about...
If Ruyang Palace is on fire,
Wang Bao Bao will retreat to save Prince Ruyang.
It's a trick to distract the enemy!
We'll do it.
Let's go!
You devil! Come up here!
Come here!!
Priestess, why waste time with him?
I've been chaste all my life.
No-one will humiliate me in front of Sect leaders.
Isn't life more important than your reputation?
I'm ready to lose my life but not my lifelong honour.
Suit yourself.
Devil! Get up here!
Master Zhang! Hold it!
Don't hurt my brother.
Sister...
Put out the fire and free the captives, or you both die!
Prince, trouble!
What's the matter?
Ruyang Palace is on fire!
Go and protect Father!
Let's go!
Chief, it's safe now.
Elders! Jump down and
I'll catch each of you!
Is this a joke? We'll fall
with great impact!
No way Zhang WuJi can catch everybody!
Yes.
We've not regained strength.
Jumping down means death.
Don't be tricked by Zhang WuJi!
Right. He's tricking us into
falling to death in revenge!
Bullcrap!
Call yourselves righteous sects?!
You're misinterpreting his good intentions!
If he wanted you dead, would he send me with the antidote?
I should've poisoned you!
I'd rather die than submit to your evil Sect!
Yes.
Fine! I'll see how stubborn you are!
Seniors, if you don't jump,
you'll all be burned.
Decide whether to live or die.
Uncle Mo! The others distrust me
but you know I won't harm you.
Risk it! I'll just jump!
Seventh Brother.
I trust WuJi.
Uncle, he mightn't have strength
to cushion the great impact.
I'd rather jump to my death
than be burned alive!
WuJi, I'm coming down!
Brother!
Uncle, trust me. I won't harm you.
Here I come!
Qiankun Reversal!
- You're alright? - Yes.
First Senior!
WuJi used Qiankun Reversal!
Jump now!
Master Mo, watch them.
Yes.
Princess.
It's fine.
Now do you believe Chief Zhang means to save you?
Yes. Let's all jump.
My turn!
I thought you were proud
but you're just cowards!
Here I come!
Princess.
I won't see you out.
Master Mo, I leave it to you.
Don't worry.
Master Song.
Qingshu, jump.
Zhiruo, you jump.
Zhiruo, the fire's spreading...
I'll wait for Teacher.
Zhiruo...
JingXuan, let's jump!
Zhiruo, you wait. I'll go.
- Hero Song, hurry! - Qingshu, jump!
Father, you go. I'll wait for Zhiruo.
Hero Song...
Say no more. I'll stay till you're safe.
Hero Song, we'll jump.
See what my son's doing for a woman!
- Qingshu! - Dad!
Jump! Fast!
Dad.
Jump!
- Okay? - I'm fine.
Zhiruo! Zhiruo!
Qingshu, don't hinder WuJi.
Zhiruo. Jump fast, Zhiruo.
Miss Zhou, jump now.
The fire reached us!
It'll be too late to jump.
I'll wait for Teacher.
Teacher...
Zhiruo, forget me. Jump!
- Priestess! - Teacher!
Villain! I'll throw Lu off.
Senior!
Thanks for saving us.
See my palm!
Envoy Fan! Nun Miejue!
Miss Zhou! Jump now!
Teacher...
Zhiruo, I'm badly injured.
- You jump. No!
I'll only jump with you.
No. I must settle with him.
What must we settle?
Cut the crap!
I won't bother!
Chief, here I come!
Zhiruo, let's jump!
Zhiruo!
Teacher!
Zhiruo, remember what I said.
Get Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre for E-Mei.
Zhirou. Don't forget your vow.
Priestess!
Teacher!
Teacher! Teacher!
Teacher!
Teacher...
- Zhiruo... - Teacher.
From now, you're E-Mei leader.
You won't disappoint me?
I won't forget your orders.
Priestess, I'll check your injury.
Zhang WuJi, I warn you.
If you dare lay a finger on Zhiruo,
I will haunt you!
Priestess...
Priestess!
Teacher!
Teacher...
