♫ 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

Everyone,
did all of you come to Guangming Peak to do battle against the enemies,
or to cause trouble for me?
Yang Xiao.
You're unwilling to nominate a leader.
Do you think that I don't understand your motive?
If we are without a leader,
as the Left Ming Envoy, your position is the highest.
However, though your post is high,
it's useless if no one follows your orders!
Can you command the Five Elements Factions?
Will the Four Guardian Kings do as you say?!
We, the Five Wanderers, are even harder to control!
You are nothing to us!
Today, there are enemies assaulting us.
I, Yang Xiao, have no time for arguments.
If you'd rather wash your hands regarding the survival of the Ming Cult,
then please leave Guangming Peak!
You!
If I am still alive.
I will pay everyone a visit in the future!
Left Envoy Yang, you don't need to get angry.
The six major sects are attacking Guangming Peak.
Anyone who is a member of our cult bears the responsibility of defending it.
It's not your affair alone.
I'm afraid that there are those who hope that the six major sects kill me,
hence getting rid of the thorn in their flesh.
Who are you talking about?
Everyone already knows.
Do you need me to go on?
Ar-Are you talking about me?!
As the saying goes, even brothers in discord will unite against an outside threat.
We should be discussing ways to fight the enemy.
Reverend Peng indeed sees the greater picture.
You are absolutely right.
All right then.
Since Reverend Peng can see the greater picture,
then I suppose I cannot be narrow minded.
Today, we must settle the matter of our leader!
That's right!
In my opinion, the Bat King is the most appropriate choice!
Yes. that's right!
The blood-sucking Bat King is intelligent, and his martial skills are powerful.
No one in the Ming Cult is a match for him!
That's right!
I'll gladly accept then! I'll gladly accept!
Seems to me that it would be better for Zhou Dian to serve as the leader.
Oh, great!
At the moment, the Ming Cult is completely divided.
So, Leader Zhou, please turn everything upside down and inside out.
Wouldn't that be for the better?
You! You're farting nonsense!
You scoundrel, take my attack!
Go on over.
Quick, go there.
Fight! Hght!
You're gloating at such a time?! Fight! Fight!
Stop it!
The six major sects are nearly here! We must stop fighting amongst ourselves!
Bat King Wei, make them stop fighting!
Stop fighting! Bat King Wei. make them stop fighting!
Stop fighting! Let's not cause further dissension!
Zhou Dian, you're no match for Left Envoy! Let's not cause further dissension!
Don't lose your life!
Stop it!
Keep fighting!
Keep fighting?! Keep fighting!
The six major sects are upon us!
Bat King, stop causing more trouble! Stop it!
Left Envoy Yang, please be merciful!
We're all brothers!
Stop fighting!
Brother Zhou's really stubborn!
Get out there! Brother Zhou's really stubborn!
Go help out!
I'm not fighting! Go help out!
What do we do?
Let's attack together!
Fine! Let's attack together!
So the exponents of Ming Cult are all hiding here, fighting over the position of leader.
Yang Xiao! What skill is this?!
It looks to me like it's the Great Universe Shift!
Congratulations on inheriting Leader Yang's skills, Envoy Yang!
We've no evil intentions! Please cease the fight!
Yes, that's right.
Let's stop fighting!
We must unite our strength to fight the enemies! Let's stop this foolish fight!
If we're to protect Guangming Peak, we must fight against the six major sects!
Brother Zhou, just admit defeat.
Left Envoy Yang received Leader Yang's guidance.
What's left for you to say?
All right, I'll admit defeat!
But I don't acknowledge him as our leader!
Bat King!
Five Wanderers!
Let's release at the same time, so no one gets hurt!
All right, All right!
I don't believe you! You release first!
You can't let go!
Once you let go, you will get injured!
We will all be injured!
Trust me! I'll release first!
One, two..
The Left Ming Envoy certainly lives up to his name.
You've taken two blows of my Illusionary Yin Finger, yet you're still conscious.
Who are you?
Why do you commit such a despicable act?
Attacking us from behind!
My name is Yuan Zhen.
My teacher's monastic title is Kong Jian.
The six major sects are attacking the evil cult,
and all of you will die at the hands of my disciples.
I guess I have not wasted this life of mine!
The six major sects are the enemy of our Ming Cult.
They're fighting us face to face.
That is what a real man should do.
Reverend Kong Jian's chivalrous reputation is well-known.
I never imagined that he would have such a despicable disciple like you!
Well said.
This is called, seizing victory by surprise.
All's fair in war, as it has been since ancient times.
I, Yuan Zhen, would have personally eliminated seven exponents of the evil cult.
Isn't this most gratifying to everyone?
What?
You don't accept it?
How did you get up to Guangming Peak?
And how did you find out about the secret passageway?
If you can tell me,
I will rest in peace even if I die.
Indeed.
Guangming Peak consists of seven summits and thirteen cliffs, known to be a natural barrier.
Right?
But it's all ineffective against me!
Right now, I will extinguish your demonic fires,
and bury several hundred catties of gunpowder.
And then, I will..
This is called,
"Yuan Zhen eliminates the evil cult with a single finger."
"The Seven Demons perish atop Guangming Peak!!"
Yang Xiao.
I deserve to die.
I've let you down.
Though you're not a great person,
if you were the Leader,
it would be better than having no leader and getting all of us wiped out!
Me, the leader?
What abilities have I?
All of us were wrong.
We made a mess of everything.
How can we face the past leaders of the Ming Cult in the netherworld?
Yang Dingtian.
Back then, what were you like when you were the demonic leader?
So insufferably arrogant.
A pity that he died too early.
He got off easy!
No one can make him witness my annihilation of his evil cult.
Bullshit! Bullshit!
If Leader Yang was still alive,
everyone would follow his orders.
You stinky baldy could never have launched a sneak attack on us then!
Yang Dingtian is nothing.
In my eyes, he's no more than a lecherous scoundrel.
Something that s worse than dung!
You... You! Something that's worse than dung!
Now I can reveal the truth...
Bat King! Bat King, are you all right?!
Bat King, are you okay? Bat King!
Bat King! Bat King, are you all right?
Abbess!
We cannot underestimate the Five Elements Factions!
Why does the evil cult send only these minor pawns to die?
Where are their Ming Envoys and Guardian Kings?
That's right. Seems like we II only find them at the top.
Young man in the bag, you have to save us.
How?
I don't have the strength to untie the bag.
Stand up first. You understand what just happened.
I understand, but...
Please kill that evil monk first. That's the only way we'll live.
This...
If you don't kill him, we won't be the only ones to die.
You'll die as well!
Tens of thousands of our members will be wiped out too.
Killing this evil monk is a righteous deed.
No. A righteous deed?
I've heard that. those who are righteous, cannot take advantage of another's difficulty.
Right now, I cannot move... at all.
If you kill me, aren't you afraid of being mocked by others?
Stinky baldy.
Shaolin Sect is known as an orthodox and honorable sect,
yet you launched a sneak attack.
Do you think that the other heroes won't mock you for your actions?
Exactly.
Ming Envoy, Blue Winged Bat King, Five Wanderers,
you are all heroes of the pugilistic world.
How could you go back on your promises?
Reverend Yuan Zhen.
This is the best for everyone.
Forgive me.
Pardon my offense.
Right now, I cannot move at all.
I'm left with no choice but to let you do whatever evil you want.
Retract your hand!
Stinky baldy! How dare you be so unscrupulous!
The Ming Cult has been without a leader all these years.
The exponents in Ming Cult were fighting amongst ourselves over the position of leader.
In the end, some of us retired in seclusion.
Some set up their own sects and became the leader.
Once the discipline became lax,
the enmity between us and the orthodox sects worsened, resulting in the current situation.
Reverend Yuan Zhen,
my words are all true, right?!
It's indeed the truth.
How did he get up?
How did he recover so quickly?
Look at you. The lot of you.
The six major sects are about to invade your den.
Why aren't you all going?
The capable disciple of Reverend Kong Jian is indeed extraordinary.
But you have not answered my earlier question.
Or is there something shameful you cannot reveal?
If you don't know what's really going on.
all of you won't die in peace.
You want to know how I found out about Guangming Peak's secret passageway?
And how I surmounted those natural barriers,
and came to this summit without anyone's notice?
Fine, I'll tell you.
I'll let you die enlightened.
It was your late leader, Yang Dingtian, and his wife who brought me up here.
What? What? Don't slander our leader!
The secret passageway is a huge secret of Guangming Peak.
It's a sacred and restricted place of Ming Cult's Leaders.
Only the leader is allowed to enter the secret passageway.
Why would Leader Yang bring an outsider into the passageway?!
If you really want to get to the bottom of this.
I'll tell you a secret that happened decades ago.
In any case, you won't be able to leave this place alive.
You won't be able to leak the secret.
Zhou Dian, you're absolutely right.
Guangming Peak's secret passageway is Ming Cult's sacred and restricted area.
Only the Leader can enter.
Else, it would mean breaking the most sacred rule.
But the wife of your leader has been in there before.
It's your leader who broke the rule himself.
He secretly took his wife into the secret passageway.
Bullshit! Absolute bullshit! He secretly took his wife into the secret passageway.
Zhou Dian, shut up!
That's not bullshit, It's the truth.
Nonsense!
Why would Madam Yang bring you into the secret passageway?
This happened a long, long time ago.
I'm already in my seventies now.
It's something that happened when I was in my youth.
I might as well tell you everything.
Do you know who I really am?
Before I became a monk.
I was called Cheng Kun.
My nickname was Primordial Thunderbolt.
The wife of your leader was my junior sister.
Cheng Kun?
He's the Primordial Thunderbolt, Cheng Kun?
The reason why Godfather goes berserk frequently and kills the innocent?
The reason why the other sects went to Wudang and forced my parents to their deaths?
The underlying cause of all these happenings,
it's all because of Cheng Kun's meddling!
I...I...
Young man, we're all on the brink of death now.
Everyone is suffering.
If you're a man, don't make any whimpering sounds.
My junior sister's family and mine have been long time friends.
We were betrothed to each other long ago.
We grew up together and liked each other.
But my junior sister's parents were greedy.
They couldn't withstand Yang Dingtian's enticement.
They rejected our betrothal,
and married her to Yang Dingtian!
After their marriage, my junior sister was not happy at all.
That's why she frequently met up with me secretly.
Therefore, we needed to find an extremely secluded place.
Yang Dingtian always gave in to his wife's requests.
When my junior sister asked him to take her into the secret passageway,
although Yang Dingtian was extremely unwilling,
he could not withstand her coercion and wiles.
Finally...
Finally, he brought her inside.
From then on the secret passageway became a place for our clandestine meetings.
I walked up and down the secret passageway more than a hundred times!
Nothing was easier during this trip up to Guangming Peak for me.
You...
Beast! Beast!
Why are you so upset?
Why so upset?!
I should be the one who's upset!
I lost my wife!
She was supposed to be my wife, but she ended up with someone else!
I will never forget this hatred, of how Yang Dingtian took my wife from me!
When he got married.
I secretly made a vow.
As long as I am alive, as long as there's still breath left in me.
I must kill Yang Dingtian and destroy the evil cult totally!
I made this vow more than forty years ago!
Today... Today...
Today I will soon succeed!
My lifelong wish is about to be fulfilled!
I can die without regrets!
Thanks.
Thank you for unraveling a huge question in my mind.
The sudden death of Leader Yang...
it was you who did it.
No, no.
If I had killed him with my own hands,
it would have fulfilled my wish.
And all of you wouldn't have to die today.
But he... he was a lot more highly skilled than me.
I was not his match at all.
Therefore... you secretly plotted against Leader Yang?
Either you poisoned him, or it was similar to what you've just done, a sneak attack!
My junior sister was afraid that I'd poison Yang Dingtian.
She warned me constantly.
If I harm Yang Dingtian, she won't let me off.
She said that as his wife, she was already letting Yang Dingtian down by meeting me secretly.
If I harm Yang Dingtian,
even the heavens won't allow it.
The heavens will not allow it!
Yang Dingtian... he...
He died on his own.
What?
One day..
My junior sister and I met in the secret passageway again.
I won't tell you.
Junior Sister, what's the surprise?
Tell me quickly.
Senior Brother, listen here. Listen.
Senior Brother, you'd better leave quickly.
No, I don't want to leave.
The two of you...
Dingtian.
Slut!
How could you let me down?!
Dingtian, this is my fault.
As long as you let Senior Brother leave, I'm willing to bear all the punishment.
Dingtian, what's wrong with you?
Dingtian!
That was our Ming Cult's Great Universe Shift.
Yang Xiao, you've mastered this skill too, right?
Mastered?
How can I say I've mastered it?
Leader Yang thought highly of me in the past,
so he taught me some of the basics of the skill.
I've practiced for more than a decade, and I only got to the second level.
It's that difficult?
If it's so easily mastered,
how can it be considered the divine skill of the Ming Cult?
Reverend Yuan Zhen, how exactly did Leader Yang die?
I can marry you...
but I cannot get your heart!
Dingtian!
Dingtian, what's wrong with you?
He was practicing an extremely difficult skill.
He suddenly went berserk and his internal energy ran amok.
The noxious energy entered his heart. There's no way to save him
That's right.
He was practicing Ming Cult's divine skill, the Great Universe Shift.
Right at a critical moment,
he suddenly found out about us.
Although I did not kill him,
he died because of me!
Who's that?!
Junior Sister!
Junior Sister.,Junior Sister!
Junior Sister!
Why?
Why?!
I, Cheng Kun, vow that for the rest of my life,
I will do my utmost to destroy Ming Cult!
Destroy Ming Cult!
Yang Dingtian said he could marry my junior sister,
but he could not obtain her heart.
Although I could obtain her heart, I could not marry her.
She's the only woman I've ever loved my whole life.
If not because of Yang Dingtian,
how could she possibly marry someone twenty years her senior?
And she wouldn't have met with such a tragic end!
He may be dead, but...
His evil cult is still walking on this earth!
I made up my mind.
If I do not utterly destroy the evil cult.
I am not fit to be human!
Yang Xiao, Zhou Dian.
Bat King Wei, Reverend Peng, and Iron-Crowned Priest.
All of you...
All of you are about to die.
Of course I won't live much longer too.
But my wish is fulfilled and I'll willingly die.
I'm already a thousand, a million times better than all of you, right?
The one thing that bothers me is...
my most beloved disciple, Xie Xun!
Because of my vengeance,
he became my lifelong enemy.
Both of us cannot allow the other to exist!
After leaving Guangming Peak.
I came to the Central Plains.
I found my beloved disciple Xie Xun whom I had not seen for years.
I unexpectedly found out that Xie Xun was wearing a dagger around his waist.
It was a pair of Yuanyang blades.
It was Yang Dingtian's most beloved dagger.
I don't know when Yang Dingtian became close brothers with Xie Xun.
He admired Xie Xun's capability.
Not only did he give him that dagger,
he also pulled him into the evil cult,
becoming one of the Four Guardian Kings.
How... How I wished I could've torn him into pieces at that time!
But I thought it over.
The evil cult is deeply rooted. It won't be easy to destroy it.
The only way is to sow discord in the pugilistic world, and let them fight amongst themselves.
I became bold as my hatred and anger erupted from my heart!
To take revenge, I started with my disciple!
No!
Wuji! My son!
I killed all thirteen members of Xie Xun's family.
I know my disciple very well. I know Xie Xun hates evil to the core and he is hotheaded.
He definitely won't let me off!
He'll definitely seek me out for revenge.
When he can't find me,
he'll definitely use my name to kill the innocent and force me to appear.
Cheng Kun! Cheng Kun!
Cheng Kun, come out!
How would I show myself at a time like that?
"The best way to hide a misdeed is not to commit it."
Xie Xun made countless enemies.
Those blood debts will ultimately be pushed onto the Ming Cult!
And how can the good heroes of the pugilistic world tolerate his outrageous acts?
They'd definitely call for his blood.
That way, won't they start fighting against one another?
I can then sit back and watch the fight.
There's another thing.
When Xie Xun was being pursued by the pugilistic fraternity.
I'd sometimes protect him secretly.
Do you know why?
Let me tell you.
Because Xie Xun is my tool for revenge.
I still have to keep him alive for a very long time.
Although Xie Xun did not kill Song Yuanqiao,
he killed Reverend Kong Jian with his fists, and injured the Five Elders of Kongtong.
He also defeated various pugilists from other sects on Mt. Wangpan.
Even his good friend, Yin Tianzheng, couldn't escape this calamity!
Xie Xun! My good disciple!
You have not let my hard work be in vain!
So this means your teacher, Reverend Kong Jian,
died because of your devious plots too!
Did you really think I'd sincerely accept Reverend Kong Jian as my teacher?
I just kowtowed to him a few times, and he paid with his life!
That's quite a fair exchange, isn't it?
Bea... Beast! Despicable!
Now that things have come to this, Bea... Beast! Despicable!
Reverend Yuan Zhen, can you let my daughter off?
Her mother, Ji Xiaofu, is from Emei Sect.
She did not join the Ming Cult.
Yang Xiao. Oh, Yang Xiao.
Have you heard of this saying?
It's called, keeping a tiger has its dangers,
and to pull out the weed by the root!
Cheng Kun! You evil fiend!
Die!
Don't you run!
Miejue, old nun, quit your rampage!
White-Browed Eagle King is here!
And I thought there were only small pawns in the evil cult.
So the big ones are hiding behind them.
Out of the Four Guardian Kings, you're the only one who came?
Just I alone am enough to deal with small fries.
Spare me your nonsense!
This is your bed. Have a good sleep.
Why am I lying on the bed?
Missy, you...
Ugly freak. Missy, you...
What did you do to me?!
Speak! What have you done to me?
The enemy is attacking us.
You must be a spy sent to Guangming Peak by the enemy, right?
I'm going to kill you today!
Stop!
Don't make a sound.
Brother Wuji!
Sister Buhui?
Release me.
Are you really Brother Wuji?
Yes.
You've grown up!
How have you been all these years?
I'm fine. How have you been all these years?
You?
What are you doing here?
It was Shuo Bu De who brought me up here.
That Yuan Zhen disappeared after running in here.
Is there another exit here?
What Yuan Zhen?
Who came into my room?
Let's not talk about this. Your father is injured.
He's at the hall. Go and look at him.
How did Dad get injured? I'll go over first.
You spy! I'm going to kill you!
Buhui! Don't!
Brother Wuji! Are you with her?
She's your servant girl, and it's the first time we've met.
How could I be on her side?
Since you don't know what's happening, then don't interfere.
This lass is my family's great enemy.
My father chained her hands and feet to prevent her from harming me
Now that the enemy is attacking us,
this lass is using the chance to take revenge.
Miss, tell the truth.
Were you planning to harm her?
I wouldn't dare.
You heard that?
She said she wasn't. Let her off.
Fine.
Since you're pleading for her, I'll...
Buhui! Buhui!
Missy.
You kept thinking that I wanted to harm you and Master.
If I wanted to kill you now, it'd be so easy.
But I have no such intention.
Here.
Are you all right?
I was right, wasn't I?
You were thrown off by my internal energy just now.
Are you all right?
I... I'll go and take a look at my father first.
Brother Wuji, wait here for me. We'll chat again later.
Sure.
Miss.
That Yuan Zhen ran in here and suddenly disappeared.
You're usually here. Do you know if there's another exit in this room?
You really want to find him?
That fiend has committed so much evil, and committed countless sins.
I'll chase after him to the ends of the world.
Miss, if you know,
please show me the way.
You saved my life.
All right, I'll take you there.
All right.
Come with me.
The secret passageway is under the bed.
Secret passageway?
Look.
Junior Sister.
Junior Sister...
Every time I walk this area.
I cannot forget everything that has happened.
Decades have passed.
But it feels as if you're still here with me.
I...
I'm going to blow this place up.
Wait.
Why have you stopped limping?
I was pretending to limp to trick Master and Missy.
Pretending?
That's the size of this place.
You're pretending to be hunchbacked too?
I've only come up to here.
There's still a way out in front, but I couldn't find the switch to open the door.
It's really strange.
Where could that evil man have run to?
This door can't be opened.
I've tried it many times but I can't open it.
Stand aside.
You actually opened it!
Come on!
Miss, here. Come in.
