From hence on, I bid farewell to all loneliness Cong ci gao bie suo you ji mo

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

Teacher, I'll be leaving now.
You must find out the truth.
Third Brother.
Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I will find the culprit and avenge you.
Members of Ziwei Branch, hear my orders!
Hurry to Mt. Wangpan and set up the saber exhibition.
Inform Bai Cuishou that I'll be right behind.
Yes! Let's go!
Since Wudang Sect and the Dragon Gate Escort are fighting,
I can save the effort of doing it myself.
The skills of Wudang Sect are indeed amazing.
You, Du, who gave you so much escort money?
My third brother's limbs were still fine at Lin'an.
Fifth Hero Zhang, the money is rightfully ours. We've already had terrible luck on this trip.
I do not know who's the culprit.
The one who gave you the payment must know who injured my Third Brother.
Tell me the truth now. Otherwise I'll sever your limbs!
Du Dajin, what is all this?!
I will find out the truth.
If you people are behind this,
I will wipe out the entire Dragon Gate Escort!
Chief what should we do?
Send someone to Shaolin and ask Teacher to send people to protect the escort agency.
Yes!
Lin'an has fallen to the enemy.
I wonder where Second and Seventh Brothers are right now?
Dragon Gate Escort?
I wonder if Du Dajin has returned yet?
Is the Chief Escort Du around? Anybody home?
Zhang Cuishan!
The Seven Heroes of Wudang are considered to be reputable heroes.
Why did you commit such a diabolic act?!
Reverends, please state your titles.
I am Yuan Yin, and this is my junior brother, Yuan Ye.
So you are reverends of the Yuan rank from Shaolin
I'm just as surprised as you are by these murders.
You accused me of murder without even investigating the matter.
What evidence do you have?
Me! What evidence do you have?
I saw it!
I am the witness!
Senior Uncles,
when night fell, this villain came in here and killed everyone in sight.
I watched him kill Senior Hui Guang with just one strike.
He left after killing everyone here.
After a short while, he came back again,
and this time he was looking for Chief Escort Du.
I really did not commit these murders.
It was you! I recognize your outfit!
You insist that I am the killer just on the basis of my clothes?
Isn't that a little too hasty?
Come over and take a good look at me.
Don't think that I don't dare.
So, did you take a good look? Was it me that you saw?
Seems like... yo-you re not...
Hui heng!
Zhang Cuishan, how dare you kill him!
Zhang Cuishan, you're the killer after all!
You--
Stop there!
Don't you dare escape!
We must go after the real killer!
Zhang Cuishan, I caught you in the act. How dare you deny it?!
My eye, my eye! I can't see!
Junior Brother, are you all right? My eye, my eye! I can't see!
Zhang Cuishan, you are despicable! How dare you use a sneak attack!
I would never do that!
Zhang Cuishan, drop the act!
Reverends, I really wasn't the one! Zhang Cuishan, drop the act!
Stop denying it!
We may not be able to take our vengeance today,
but Senior Uncle and the two abbots will not let you off!
Let's go!
Reverend!
Get out of my way. Reverend!
Who is the master that has secretly aided me?
Please show yourself!
My dear friend, since you were in the mood to visit the lake at midnight,
why not... come closer?
This...
I'm afraid that I might intrude upon your mood, Sir.
I don't mind.
So you are a lady in disguise, Miss.
Please pardon my offense.
Young Master, you have keen eyes. Please take a seat.
Thank you.
The spring breeze gently sways the moonlit lake waters;
and the candle light flickers with the delightful melody.
Perhaps it's a meeting of soul mates?
I'm Zhang Cuishan of Wudang.
Is it possible to ask you a few questions, Miss?
Young Master, please speak up.
There is no need to be so formal.
Miss, I still don't know your name yet.
My surname is Yin.
Miss Yin, forgive me for being presumptuous.
But do you know my third brother, Yu Daiyan?
The person who hired the Dragon Gate Escort to bring him to Mt. Wudang...
could that be you, Miss Yin?
I will definitely repay your kindness.
Kindness and resentments are hard to tell apart.
Miss Yin, may I ask one more question?
At the foot of Mt. Wudang, my third brother was brutally attacked again.
Do you happen to know the full details?
I feel really bad about this matter.
I also feel regret.
All the people of Dragon Gate Escort were slaughtered tonight.
Do you know who the killer is, Miss Yin?
I once told Du Dajin,
that they must escort Third Hero Yu safely to Mt. Wudang.
If there were any mishap along the way...
You will slaughter everyone at the escort agency?
They have only themselves to blame.
They didn't protect Third Hero Yu properly.
Everyone at the Dragon Gate Escort...
Yes, I killed them all.
And the Shaolin monks?
I killed them all too.
Originally, I had no intention of making them my enemy.
If not for them injuring me with their hidden weapons first,
I would have held back.
Why do they accuse me as the killer instead?
Make a guess.
Did you plan this all along?
So what if I did?
There is no animosity between us. Why did you do it?
Zhang Cuishan!
Our clothing is the same! No wonder they mistook me for the killer.
Fifth Hero Zhang, please have a seat first.
No need.
Miss Yin, there's no feud between us. Why did you shift the blame to me?
Do you recognize these darts?
Those are plum blossom darts of Shaolin.
That's right
And the darts are poisoned.
Shaolin is an orthodox sect. They never poison their hidden weapons.
Besides, I've never heard of Shaolin disciples using poisonous darts.
How long have you been injured?
Over twenty days.
I've been using medicine to suppress the poisons effects.
But I'm afraid the poison might still be lingering and may spread in my body.
It's already been over twenty days I'm afraid...
I did what I could.
I couldn't get any antidote from those monks tonight.
Perhaps... my arm may be lost for good.
Miss Yin, do you trust me?
Though my inner strength is not strong, I believe I still can help expel the poison in you.
You're willing to save me?
Never mind.
I better clear up your doubts and suspicions first.
After you know the truth,
you may regret your decision to save me.
Oh yes. How is Third Hero Yu now?
We're still uncertain whether Third Brother can survive the month.
May he be blessed with fortune, and be able to recover fully.
Otherwise...
Thank you for your kind thoughts.
But why did you dress up like me when you killed them?
I saw that you looked good in that outfit.
Would you have come here if I had not worn the same clothes?
So the Shaolin monks mistook you for me.
I didn't purposely dress like you to put the blame on you.
But you shouldn't have killed so many people.
They were all innocent and they had no feud with you.
My original plan was only to ask for the antidote.
But not only did they refuse me the antidote, they even set up ambushes.
They brutally attacked me as soon as I entered.
Was I wrong in killing them?
The one who injured me with the darts was also from Shaolin.
There are thousands of Shaolin members, spread across the country.
Are you planning to kill all the Shaolin disciples just because you were hit by three darts?
I don't need your lecture!
You're known to be a chivalrous hero, while I am a ruthless person.
I never intended to be your friend.
Just go now.
Miss, please raise your arm.
I don't want your help.
You have delayed treatment for too long.
Any longer, I'm afraid...
I'm afraid it will become impossible to treat.
It's best that I die since you are the culprit anyway.
Why am I the one to be blamed now?
If I hadn't traveled to escort your third brother, would I have run into those six villains?
When they kidnapped your third brother, if I had not gotten involved, would I be injured?
If you had arrived earlier to help me, would I have gotten hit by the darts?!
What are you doing?
None of your business!
This was all my own doing. It's none of your concern!
I have never seen such a stubborn and unreasonable girl like you before.
Well, you've seen it today.
Just leave!
I won't quibble with you. Do you still want to live?
My third brother owes you. It has to be repaid.
You're saving me only to repay your third brother's debt?
If I hadn't escorted him, then you wouldn't care if I died tonight, right?
That's not necessarily so.
Miss Yin, even if I didn't owe you a debt of gratitude, I would still save you.
Fine.
You may save me, but you have to apologize first.
Apologize?
Wha-What have I done?
A moment ago you said was wrong to kill.
All right then.
Maybe I was mistaken. You weren't wrong to kill.
What do you mean by maybe? Wrong is wrong!
You aren't sincere at all.
All right then.
May Heaven and the lake spirit be my witnesses.
Today, I, Zhang Cuishan, apologize to Miss Yin...
Susu.
...sincerely apologizes to Miss Yin Susu.
Miss Yin, are you all right?
Here, this is the Tianxin Elixir.
Take it first.
How do you feel? Better?
My chest feels tight.
It's all your fault.
If only you had apologized sooner everything would have been fine.
When I channel my energy to you, please do not move.
Or else the poison may spread to your heart. Just relax and pretend to be asleep.
Don't worry, I'll just pretend that I'm dead.
You are such an unreasonable girl.
Whoever becomes your husband will certainly suffer his entire life.
Just relax.
Fifth Hero Zhang, I was being disrespectful a short while ago.
Please do not take offense.
What audacity!
Chief Li, don't be rude!
This is Fifth Hero Zhang of Wudang. He is treating my wounds.
Thank you, Fifth Hero Zhang.
Branch Leader.
Miss, your horse is ready.
Would you like to leave immediately for the Dragon Saber Exhibition on Mt. Wangpan island?
What?
Dragon Saber?
Third Brothers injury seems to be related to the Dragon Saber.
It's possible that Third Brother's attacker might show up at this exhibition.
Dragon Gate Escort is ahead.
Seventh Brother, take a look.
Second Brother.
Looks like we're too late.
If we weren't delayed for a few days by those vicious robbers in Jiangxi,
perhaps the Dragon Gate Escort could have been saved.
Teacher told us to protect the Dragon Gate Escort, but we failed him.
It's my first time away from home and I failed the mission.
How can I face Teacher?
Why don't I go and take a look?
The situation is complicated. Let's hurry back and report to Teacher.
All right.
Miss Yin, you've set up the saber exhibition at Mt. Wangpan.
Do you already have the Dragon Saber?
If there were no saber then you wouldn't have followed me here, right?
Please clarify the matter Miss.
I'm not clear about all the intricate details.
If you want to find out. just follow me to Mt. Wangpan.
All right!
Heroes of Jiangnan,
our Heavenly Eagle Cult has recently acquired a precious saber.
The ultimate treasure of the pugilistic world the Dragon Saber!
As our leader is on close terms with all the other chiefs here today,
we especially planned this saber exhibition,
to share the joy and glory with all heroes.
"The most exalted in the pugilistic world - the Dragon Saber."
"When it commands, none shall disobey."
All the heroes who are here today will have a chance to see...
I'm only here to investigate third Brother's incident,
but why are they all from heretic cults?
It seems like Miss Yin is someone important.
All the different sects are here, but where's White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng?
Yeah! Right! Yeah!
The leader of our Heavenly Eagle Cult, Yin Tianzheng, is unable to attend today.
His daughter, the Leader of Ziwei Branch, Yin Susu, will preside over this exhibition.
How can she be the one presiding? Outrageous!
That's right! How can she be the one presiding? Outrageous!
Reporting!
Leader of the Ziwei Branch, Miss Yin, has arrived.
You are the Leader of the Ziwei Branch, Yin Tianzheng's daughter?
That's right. You never expected that, did you?
We only just met yesterday.
Elders, I am Yin Susu, Heavenly Eagle Cult's Leader of the Ziwei Branch.
She has the Dragon Saber.
As instructed by my father, White-Browed Eagle King.
So she is Yin Susu. l'm here to pneside over the saber exhibition.
I'm here to preside over the saber exhibition.
Sorry to have kept everyone waiting.
Everyone, I present the saber!
As our acquisition of this saber may not be known to the pugilistic world,
we hereby declare ownership of the Dragon Saber!
How could the Dragon Saber fall into their hands?
Is that the real saber?
It looks real to me.
Really? It's real!
Why, does anyone have suspicions regarding the saber?
We have never seen the Dragon Saber before.
Besides, this is the first time the saber has been presented.
Unless you show the weapon's capability, how can we be sure this is the real Dragon Saber?
That's right! His words make sense! Let's have a demonstration!
To prove the saber's authenticity, we shall perform a demonstration.
The Dragon Saber is of legendary sharpness.
Everyone, do not make direct contact with it.
Mine, mine, the saber belongs to me!
The saber belongs to me! Mine, mine, the saber belongs to me!
It's mine! Out of the way'
It's mine! It's mine! Out of the way!
Out of the way!
It's mine!
Out of the way! It's mine!
Nonsense! The saber belongs to Haisha Sect!
You ambushed us and stole the saber, killing my father!
I will avenge his death!
How dare you just wildly accuse us!
Don't you know any etiquette of the pugilistic world?
No one is to disrupt the gathering.
That Dragon Saber belongs to Haisha Sect! No one is to disrupt the gathering.
That Dragon Saber belongs to Haisha Sect! Young Chief!
We are outnumbered! Calm down!
From what I see, revenge is just an excuse.
Your true aim is to snatch the saber!
Let's see who has the nerve!
Respected sir, please state your name.
I am Xie Xun.
My friends in the pugilistic world call me the Golden-Haired Lion King!
Hero Xie, may we know your purpose here?
What a fine saber!
Everyone, today I will take this Dragon Saber with me.
Any objections?
This...
You must be the young Chief of the Haisha Sect.
Yes, I am.
How good is Haisha Sect anyway?
Your martial skills are average, and you harm others with your poison salt.
Last year at Haimen, Zhang Dengyun's entire family was killed.
Earlier this month, Ouyang Qin was also killed in Haimen too.
You are the culprit, aren't you?
You.. You are the culprit, aren't you?
How did you know about that?
Go! Bring me two big bowls of poison salt!
Let me see exactly what this thing is!
Hurry up!
Come.
Eat it up.
No. What are you trying to do?
I want you, to have a taste of it too!
He died so terribly!
Bring it over.
Bring it over!
I always deal with matters fairly.
Since he ate one bowl, I'll also eat one bowl!
Elder Xie, please wait!
Who are you?
Elder Xie, I'm Zhang Cuishan of Wudang.
So you are the Silver Hook and Iron Pen, Zhang Cuishan?
Are you also here to fight for the Dragon Saber?
Elder Xie, my intention here is to investigate why my third brother, Yu Daiyan, was attacked.
That's why I came.
These scoundrels deserve to die. We don't have to lower ourselves to their level.
Hurry. Let's go.
Hold it there! Trying to escape?
You... You are the Leader of the Jujing Sect?
I am.
On the fifth month of this year, at the Min River Estuary,
you robbed a ship of the high seas.
You also gang raped seven innocent women until they died.
Isn't that outrageously inhumane?
Y-You are slandering us!
You're a lunatic!
In my life, I only kill those who are skilled in martial arts.
I detest those who take unfair advantage of the weak and the young,
and kill defenseless women and innocents.
Today, I, Xie Xun, will not let anyone off who has committed such atrocities.
Are you feeling afraid now?
How about this?
If you have enough skill to defeat me,
then I will spare your lives.
This, this...
Who can defeat him?
Elder Xie.
I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to say this.
Go on!
Elder Xie, if you were to use your superior skills to uphold justice, mankind will benefit.
What's so great about being chivalrous?
Being chivalrous is to uphold justice.
Thus, evil will be punished and good will be rewarded.
That's total nonsense.
If you lose, what will you do?
Lose? That's impossible.
If I lose, I will commit suicide,
but by any chance if I win please grant my request.
I give you my word.
How are you fighting him? Are you confident?
Hard to say, I'll try my best.
If things don't work out, we should escape while we can.
It's better than dying without a fight.
Elder, let's start.
Go on!
Fifth Hero Zhang of Wudang's lightness skill is really something!
I've long heard of Fifth Hero Zhang's skill in calligraphy!
But I never thought he'd be able to write on a rock cliff!
Great!
What internal strength!
Look, look!
Look, he's quite something!
Everyone knows about the lightness skill of Wudang, Cloud Stairs!
"The most exalted in the pugilistic world - the Dragon Saber."
"When it commands, none shall disobey."
"If Heavenly Sword does not come forth, who can be its match?"
That's good! Really good!
"The most exalted in the pugilistic world - the Dragon Saber."
"When it commands, none shall disobey."
Fifth Hero Zhang, your skill is indeed ingenious, I couldn't write like that.
You've lost. Don't you deny it!
Fifth Hero Zhang, your martial arts is intertwined with the art of calligraphy.
You are the pioneer of this art. You have my admiration.
You flatter me, Elder.
Just tell me your request.
Elder, I'd like to ask you to take the Dragon Saber, and spare the people on this island.
You can make them swear not to divulge the secret.
I'm not that dumb to trust their vow!
You gave your word to do as he says if you lost the duel!
I, Xie Xun, will honor my word.
Hurry and tear off some cloth to plug your ears.
Then cover your ears tightly with both hands.
If you want to live, follow my instructions.
Elder, Elder!
Miss Yin, we are in a dangerous situation. We should take every precaution.
Miss Yin, are you all right?
Elder Me, where are you sailing this ship to?
I want to find a quiet place and figure out the hidden secret of this saber.
Since you want peace and quiet, why not send us back?
Let you return?
No way!
When you return to the Central Plains,
my whereabouts will be known.
Those people who want this Dragon Saber will come looking for trouble!
Day after day, they will keep coming to steal it from me.
I don't want to be bothered by them.
Elder Xie, so what plans do you have for us?
What to do with you?
What do you think?
Both of you will have to put up with it,
and spend some carefree days with me on a deserted island.
Elder Xie, what if it takes you ten years to find out the saber's secret?
Then you will keep me company for ten years.
If I can't figure it out during my lifetime, then you will stay with me all your life!
Since both of you are so compatible and fond of each other,
you should become husband and wife on the island,
and have children.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
Elder Xie, please stop talking nonsense.
Why don't we do this, Elder Xie?
We can both swear vows never to disclose your whereabouts.
Swear vows?
I'll never trust your vows!
When I was 28 years old, I made a vow.
During that year,
the person who I honored and respected the most, shamed me,
and made me lose everything.
I lost my parents, wife, and children overnight!
Henceforth, I swore a vow on my severed finger,
that I will never trust anyone as long as I live!
Elder Xie.
You must have taken revenge already.
No.
The one who harmed me is very skilled in martial arts, I'm not his match.
Someone better than you? Who could that be?
I don't feel like saying his name.
If it wasn't for this deep hatred,
there would be no reason for me to take this Dragon Saber!
There would be no need to figure out the hidden secret of this saber.
So vengeance is your only reason for taking the saber.
In my opinion, the saber is just a heavy and sharp weapon unaffected by fire.
What secret could it have?
"When it commands, none shall disobey?" That's utter nonsense.
I'd say that this saber is just the leader among all the weapons of the world.
If that's truly the case,
then the three of us will live on the deserted island...
for the rest of our lives.
Elder Xie!
Elder Xie. Elder Xie!
Stay with me on the island for the rest of your lives!
Fifth Hero Zhang,
what if we do have to live out our lives with him on the island?
We have to find a way to escape.
Let's join forces and kill him.
We must not act so hasty. His martial arts are better than ours.
We still might not be his match even if we join forces.
It seems like we have to play it by ear.
