5 p.m. on the 19th day of the 9th moon,
At the Maple Wood outside Luo Yang.
Yan Shi-san, so you got here.
Did you all get my message?
5 p.m. on the 19th day of the 9th moon,
bare your throat, and bring your swords.
Is your "Killing Thirteen Sword" invincible?
I want to find that out now.
There are six of us. Who fights first?
Let's draw straws to decide.
No need, you can all fight at once,
I want to kill you all within 13 blows.
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
Three more blows.
Eleven, twelve, thirteen!
Friend, please come out from the tree.
Yan Shi-san's "Killing Thirteen Sword"...
...really lives up to its name.
Yu Mian brothers, were you invited?
No.
Then why do you carry swords?
To kill you.
But not today.
Why not today?
I know you've another one to kill.
Mu Rong family's young lady of Jiangnan.
Have you heard of Supreme Sword Mansion?
Of course I have.
What about its Third Master?
I have heard about him, also.
They say his sword...
...is invincible.
But Yan Shi-san's "Killing Thirteen Sword" has no equal.
Did you kill those six to prove...
...you're the No.1 Swordsman?
I brought them here for a duel...
...because I was challenged.
I don't believe you can kill Third Master...
...because his nickname is "God of Sword".
Hundreds of men are killed by him each year.
Including some of the Mu Rong family?
Yes, 46 of them.
So you want me to kill him to avenge them?
That's right. If you don't go,
you no longer may call yourself the No.1.
Because I still feel that...
...Third Master's sword will win.
Supreme Sword Mansion's at Green Water Lake.
Is this the Green Water Lake?
Yes.
Can you take me to Supreme Sword Mansion?
It's opposite.
Are you the only one who ferries...
...people to Supreme Sword Mansion?
Yes, but for single journey only.
Why?
Because no one...
...has ever come back.
Sometimes men have to...
...do things in spite of themselves...
...including killing.
- Sir, you are... - Xie Wang-sun.
Are you the famous swordsman...
...who once rocked the entire underworld?
Yes, that was 20 years ago.
Now I'm only a caretaker at the mansion.
I heard you're here to kill Third Master.
Didn't you say men have to do things...
...in spite of themselves?
I've heard...
...you're the "Spirit of Sword" of our times,
but Third Master is "God of Sword".
Do you want to kill him because of that?
No, I don't want to kill him,
but I have no alternative,
Only he can prove...
...my sword's invincibility.
As only I can show...
...if he is the "God of Sword".
So you're dedicating yourself to the sword.
Bravo... This way please!
Our Third Master died half month ago.
Hurry up, Mute!
Throw the slops into the back lane, quick...
Mr. Zhou, come again tomorrow!
- Wil I will! - You must come again tomorrow!
What a coward!
Sneaking out the back door!
Damn Mute, why did you give my rice to him?
I'll slap you...
Stop!
I'll pay for it.
Have you gotten any money?
No.
Then how are you going to pay it?
I'll work for you.
Go quickly! I'm damn tired!
So you've slipped out?
How about you?
Look... That youngster's good looking,
is he a newcomer?
Tell them your name?
I'm Ah Ji.
He's not too talkative.
That's an advantage.
When I have no clients at night,
you can sneak in. I'll attend to you, free!
You're not dare?
- What a chicken! - He's embarrass! Look!
Stop wordy, let's give him a taste of it here.
- Sure, come on! - Don't do that...
Sis Dan Feng...
Sis Dan Feng, leave him alone.
He's new, don't tease him!
- You're really good for nothing! - Yes!
- Forget it. Let's go! - Never mind him!
Let's go...
He's really hopeless...
- We'll call him "Hopeless Ah Ji" ! - Yes...
Why couldn't you even take off his pants?
They were tightly belted!
- Yes... - Ah Ji's really hopeless...
Thank you!
You'd better keep the food for yourself!
Hopeless Ah Ji, bring water!
Ah Ji, you're really hopeless!
- Ah! - Bitch...
Sir, she's unwilling,
please let her go!
Who're you? If you want me to release her,
you must let me stab you twice.
Don't...
You may go now!
Go on!
Really...
Alright... Get more water, quick...
Water's here, clean up!
Good, now get back to work.
Let Ah Ji take a rest, quick...
Go back... Hurry up...
- Thank you, Ah Ji. - Forget it.
Why do you work here?
To earn money.
Who are you looking for?
The one who was stabbed several days ago,
but suffered no injury.
I'm looking for this man.
You mean Ah Ji, he left last night.
He even left the money I gave him to Mute.
- Where is he now? - How do I know?
Friend, are you unwell?
Are you hungry?
Come on... Have a bun, come...
How long you haven't eaten?
Three days.
Miao Zi, have you brought the money?
Yes...
Give it to me. What about yours? Give to me.
He's the nephew of the Tiger Society's chief.
Those following him are his hatchet men.
To do business here, we have to pay fees.
What's your name?
Hopeless Ah Ji.
Where do you live?
I have no home.
Where are you going to sleep tonight?
I don't know.
What will you eat tomorrow?
I don't know that, either.
Come on...
Boss, he's my brother.
Please find work for him.
Ok, go on in...
Thank you...
What happened? The flesh is rotting!
Ah Ji, don't go to work tomorrow,
take one day off to rest at home.
If I stop working, I shall starve.
Don't worry!
You can share whatever we have here.
Ah Niu, tomorrow you pick 2 more loads of rice,
and buy some meat for soup-making.
Yes, mother.
Go to bed early. You've work to do tomorrow.
Your mother's room is beautiful.
Anything beautiful belong to our princess.
The Miao princess?
No, my sister.
Mother adores her and call her princess.
She works with a rich family as a maid,
and gets more money than I.
She's not home often.
My sister's pretty,
I'm sure you'll like her...
...when you see her.
Well, go to bed now.
If you need anything in the night,
just wake me up.
Xiao Li!
Xiao Li, how did you know I was here?
I didn't come to see you.
I live here.
Princess?
They must have told you,
I work for a rich family and get a good income.
Does your mother...
...know you work for Mrs. Han?
She does, but she loves me.
She always covers up for me...
...in front of other people.
Are you disappointed in me?
I always know not everyone...
...is born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Are you also suffering?
For fame or for wealth?
For fame... I should say.
Man can do foolish things...
...for fame's sake...
...even unto deceiving themselves.
Actually one can live happily...
...whether one's an emperor or a beggar.
You're a princess and Xiao Li, in one.
Does it make no difference?
All the same.
You're a lovely girl, just the same.
Get going...
Keep away...
They're all in debt to Boss Yang,
that's why they been caught.
Keep away...
You've picked a few loads more,
Pay now!
I need the money to buy meat...
...to make soup for my friend.
Beat him!
Damnit!
Brother, how did you get hurt?
I slipped and fell at the pier.
From now on you must be more careful.
Well, take a rest.
Your mother knew that wasn't true.
Yes, but she never bothers to ask about it.
She knows it's routine for us...
...to get beaten.
Who on earth hurt you?
Men of the White Tiger Society.
Tie Hu, you brothers are fantastic.
You've caught up those people who owe me money.
Bottoms up!
Come on...
The girls are here.
Come on... Sit down...
Where's Xiao Li?
She has quitted.
Nonsense. I want that girl.
Yang Wu, go and fetch her.
Wait!
Tie Quan, you go with them.
What do you want?
We have not come to beat you,
and we are not looking for you either.
Who do you want then?
Your sister. Come on!
What are you doing?
What?
As long as she's a whore, she has to work.
Stop the beating...
Stop the beating!
Mother...
What?
Who are you looking for?
The one who was stabbed several days ago,
but suffered no injury.
I'm looking for him.
You mean Hopeless Ah Ji.
Why do you look for him?
Master... Your nephew was beaten.
Master, bad news!
Two young masters and your nephew...
...were beaten by Hopeless Ah Ji.
Really? Ah Ji hurt them?
Come out...
Are you Hopeless Ah Ji?
Where's your sword?
I have no sword.
You'll die faster then.
Who are you, after all?
I'm Hopeless Ah Ji.
But you fight like a swordsman I know.
Shut up!
You talk too much.
You're looking for trouble.
Who are you?
I've traveled all over looking for you.
Follow me!
Why should I follow you?
To know who I am, you must follow me.
To know who you are,
you still must follow me.
Please!
Madam, we have a guest.
Mu Rong Qiu-di?
Yes.
One who tried to kill you 46 times.
- It will be the 47th time today. - No.
Having failed 46 times,
why bother trying again?
I've traveled extensively looking for you...
...because I want to talk to you.
People say I'm the evil one...
...in the swordplay world.
What do you think?
It makes no difference.
I want to give half of the swordplay world...
...including myself to you.
The Mu Rong family is rich and powerful.
I should rule the swordplay world.
Now I need a swordsman like you...
...who cannot bribe nor Kill.
If we are united,
the whole world will be...
...in our hands.
I've become a wanderer only...
...because I've forsaken fame.
So thank you for your kind thought.
But now that your identity is exposed,
you can no longer hide.
Why not?
Because your only choice is to become either...
...our friend or enemy.
I thought you were a gentleman.
Next time you want to kill me,
better stay dressed.
You look ugly without clothes.
Come here...
Madam, what is it?
Get someone to kill him at once.
Chestnuts! Sweetened, fried chestnuts!
Please give alms.
Bring that chestnut vendor and beggar here.
Wait.
Alright...
What do you sell?
I sell fried chestnuts.
25 coppers per catty.
That's not expensive.
How much do you want?
One hundred catties.
I only have a few catties here.
With you added, it will make up 100 catties.
What are you doing?
Help, he's trying to insult a lady.
Some lady you are?
You're not a chestnut vendor either.
No one here is rich enough to...
...buy fried chestnuts.
Judging from your accent,
I knew you must be swordsmen.
Look...
Tell me at once, who sent you here?
The young lady of Mu Rong wants you killed.
Who else?
The Yu Mian brothers of Mu Rong.
What's your order, sir?
I want someone's address.
Where's the one named Miao Zi?
Strange!
So many people are looking for Miao Zi today.
Who else?
Does anyone here know Mr. Yang?
Why do you want Mr. Yang?
We have something to sell.
What is it?
Our four lives.
How much do you want?
100,000 taels.
What makes you think you're worth so much?
These swords.
Fast swords.
I hear Mr. Yang wants to hire someone...
...to kill Ah Ji. How do we compare with him?
You don't look human.
The Black Society 8 've taken over...
...Mr. Yang's business.
Our business,
no one can have a hand in it.
Help...
Let me go...
Don't...
Let her go. Two brothers fight for a girl.
Girl, don't run away...
Brother Mute, I'm really sorry.
Yesterday we offended Mr. Yang,
now I must ask you to let us...
...take shelter here.
Ah Ji, I don't understand.
Why a fighter like you...
...is afraid of him.
Come on, have some tea...
Thank you, madam.
Please sit down.
Thank you...
Mr. Yang's employed some Killers.
They've just wounded several men.
I know they'll take their revenge on you...
...for Tie Hu brothers.
Look here!
We've put you up for nothing,
better don't bring us any trouble.
Forget it!
It's not easy even to be a nobody.
Sit down, please...
I hear you did something sensational...
...when you arrived in town earlier.
Now everyone knows you.
There were 8 of you.
Where's the other one?
It makes no difference.
The seven of us...
...can make it.
It's the girl!
Run? You can't get away!
Damnit (Japanese)
Since you're here,
Why not show yourselves, my friend?
We're not your friends.
We came to claim your lives.
They're the Yu Mian brothers of Mu Rong.
Use your brother to fight your uncle,
you're added to the image of the Mu Rongs.
Thank you.
Who is she?
Leave her out. She has no connection with us.
I only asked her to play a joke on you.
What a joke!
- With your present standard of Kung Fu. - How to Kill Ah Ji?
Are you looking for him too?
Yes.
We failed to find him...
...at Miao's home.
Am here.
All the members of the Black Society 've died before killing me.
I hear few will be survived...
...under the Yu Mian brother's swords.
You're right.
Do you bear me a grudge?
Not you personally,
only your sword and your name.
Where's your sword?
Is that your sword?
I've changed, and so has my sword.
Good.
Whoever wins this duel...
...will remain anonymous to the underworld.
You mustn't lose,
We brothers must not be defeated.
Everyone treasures his fame.
You're right.
As we said,
except for Yan Shi-san and Third Master,
We have no opponent.
Xiao Li?
Brother Miao Zi, Xiao Li?
Brother Miao Zi?
Madam.
You're back.
Where are they?
They went out shopping.
What happened when you met Mr. Yang?
His whole family have been killed.
This time we must leave here.
What about a cup of hot tea?
Thank you.
Who are you?
We're the 8 spirit-catchers.
We've come tonight to take your body.
What?
The tea you drank was poisoned.
I did this to save my husband.
You heartless fellow!
What do you want?
I did this to save you!
You heartless fellow! What do you want?
Why?
Why don't you let me go?
Whoever kills you...
...will be famous. Come on!
Ah Ji, are you alright?
I feel a bit dizzy.
Mute, is there...
...a reliable doctor near by?
We'll take Ah Ji to consult him.
You two fix things here.
Ok.
What happen?
Doctor, he was poisoned.
He's paralyzed.
Wake up.
Tongue.
Horrible Bone-racking Powder.
Bring me my knife and medicine.
Yes.
Roll up the sleeves.
I'll put it on your bone...
...most effective.
Now what had to be done, is done.
I feel better, much better.
Of course.
The chloroform has lost effect.
Chloroform?
Right, harmless chloroform.
Here's 200 taels of gold.
The amount I agreed to pay you.
Good!
What is this all about?
The whole story goes like this:
The Poison Lang Jun wanted to kill you.
He bribed his friend's wife into...
...putting chloroform into the tea.
Then he sent several men...
...to ensnare you.
Finally you came here to find death.
What do you mean?
I put the real Bone-racking...
...Powder into your bone.
Now that the poison's in your bone,
you only have three days to live.
Who are you?
Poison Lang Jun Zhou Yu-feng.
We can't rely on women to...
...kill the No.1 swordsman.
The time is right for me to do it.
Brother Mute...
Brother Mute, you shouldn't have done that.
Brother Mute...
Brother, you may be mute,
but I know what's in your heart.
Brother Mute...
After tomorrow,
my name will spread far and wide...
...because I've killed Third Master.
Unfortunately you've made a mistake,
it's the most fatal mistake of your life.
What is it?
You shouldn't have...
...given me 3 days to live.
It seems I have to do it myself.
Ah Ji!
Ah Ji, thank God, you're safe.
Where are brother Mute and his wife?
They're dead.
Why?
Because of me.
Sometimes one may get killed...
...despite not wanting to kill.
Ah Ji, who are you after all?
I may as well tell you now.
I'm Third Master of Supreme Sword Mansion.
Third Master?
Because of this name,
hundreds of people came to fight with me each year.
To prevent more men...
...being killed
I pretended to have died...
...and left the mansion.
I didn't realize...
...that once renowned, one can't live...
...an ordinary life any more.
Now,
I'm dying because of this name.
What did you say?
I have been poisoned.
Now I've only got three days to live.
When you have everything,
you don't appreciate its worth;
When you stand to lose everything,
your desire grows strong.
Do you want me?
Brother has gone to bury the bodies,
we're alone here now.
Xiao Li...
Xiao Li, I know I love you.
The reason I come back here...
...only to see you to the last,
but not to sleep with you.
I don't want you to be a widow in 3 days.
But I promise,
if I can return someday,
I'll never leave your side.
We'll live together and raise a family.
When will you be back?
I know of a descendant of Hua Tao...
...who can treat poison.
You wait for me for 7 days.
I'll come back then, either alive or dead.
No, I love you. I want you to come back alive.
I'll light the lantern every day.
I'll wait for you at the shore...
...until you come back to me.
If, by mischance, I should not come back?
Then I'll wait for you...
...in the hereafter,
then we'll be together again.
Xiao Li!
Sir, sit down.
Is Mo Chou Lake in this vicinity?
Yes, just go straight down from here.
Sir, what do you want?
Anything will do.
Fine, I'll place the order.
Confucius said, when Tao prevails in the realm,
then campaigns are all initiated by the emperor;
When the Tao declines in the realm,
then campaigns are initiated by the nobles.
Sir, the food and wine are ready.
Thank you.
I'd better pay first.
Sir, here are 10 taels of silver.
If it's enough, buy a coffin for me tomorrow.
Also,
give everyone here the best bottle of wine.
Why do you want to buy us drinks?
Because my money's useless to me.
What do you mean?
Would money serve a purpose to a dead man?
If you are like me,
had only 3 days to live,
I believe you would likewise...
...do something out of the ordinary.
A dying man's word is kind.
My friend, are you a scholar?
He's our teacher. He's well versed in...
...Mencius' and Confucius' work.
What would you do if you know...
...you'd die tomorrow?
I'd make proper arrangements for my funeral...
...before dying peacefully.
I ant you to speak the truth!
Alright... If I were to die tomorrow,
I'd go to a brothel and call...
...upon all the girls to sleep with me.
After that, I'd bet my all in a casino.
Sir, you...
I mean it. All my life I've been yearning...
...to go whoring and gambling!
Miss, who are you?
She is my daughter.
Her fiance died long ago before marry.
She's lived in chastity for 10 years.
That chastity arch was given to her.
Miss, if you were to die tomorrow,
What would you do today?
I...
What would she do but wait for death?
No. I would look for a man at once.
I heard that it is wonderful to sleep with a man.
Yu Zhen...
Father, I speak the truth...
Father, I've restrained myself for 10 years.
I'll beat you to death!
Father, I speak the truth...
It's true. Every living man wants to...
...do somethings he dare not.
Help...
Don't come near!
What are you doing?
What are we doing?
I like her, but she doesn't like me.
Who are you?
I'm Third Master of Supreme Sword Mansion.
Are you crazy?
Third Master!
Come on! Let's chop down this maniac!
Stop!
He bought me a drink just now.
Anyone wanting to kill him, must ask me.
Come on!
May I know your name?
If I revealed that as freely as you do,
I would not have lived this long.
Thanks for the drink and...
...my turn next year.
But I don't know where I'll be next year.
There are 4 still alive...
...and there are 3 on the roof.
It used to be that I saved others.
Unexpectedly, others are saving me now.
That's because you've been poisoned...
...and are a bit dizzy.
How do you know?
I didn't know...
...but I can see it from your face.
Someone at the lake...
...may save you.
But after saving you,
he'll be killed by you.
Who are you?
I used to be called Fu Hong-xue.
Swordsman Fu?
Now I don't carry swords...
...and am only a nameless woodcutter.
It's better not to be too well-known,
I might have shared your plight otherwise.
Is this boat yours?
Where do you want to go?
I want to find a descendant of Hua Tuo...
...on the upper reaches of the river.
He has already died.
Are you going to stay overnight here?
It may be for a lifetime.
Splendid.
Why?
Not many can stay here for a lifetime.
Do you want to have some?
Is it tea or herbs?
Both.
Drink this bowl.
What about you?
I won't drink.
Why not?
Who boils tea doesn't have to drink it.
Things in this world are like that,
You're too young to understand.
Aren't you afraid it might be poisoned?
You may be scared...
...when I tell you this.
I'm a dying man...
...and I speak only the truth.
I know.
I've seen dead and dying men.
But with me, you can't die so easily.
Why is that?
Because you're taken my tea.
Do you want me to pay for it?
You can't afford.
You know what it was?
It was Wu Ma Powder.
It was Hua Tuo's secret prescription.
When he died, he did not leave it behind.
But someone made up his mind to...
...make a research of its ingredients.
He spent 17 years...
...tasting all kinds of herbs from all over the world.
He even used his wife and daughter...
...in experiments.
Did he made it?
Yes, he made it.
But his wife went berserk...
...and his daughter has gone blind.
Are you this man?
No, I'm not.
But he left the formula to me...
...before jumping into the river.
He's the man you were looking for.
Why did you let me drink it?
As I told you just now.
I've seen dead and dying men,
I knew you were poisoned.
That why...
That's why I gave you the herbs to test the formula.
Now your limbs should feel numb.
You'll feel nothing...
...even if you're stabbed.
I do feel numb.
Splendid.
Dreadful poison.
Does it hurt?
The poison's inside your bone.
Now I feel a bit numb in the head.
Go to sleep. You'll be well when awake.
Yes, I'll go to sleep now.
You've wakened.
Yes. How long has it been dark?
Three days.
What?
You've been in a coma for 3 days.
May I know your name, sir?
Many in this world are nameless.
I am one of them.
Why did you save me?
It was destiny.
We don't know each other.
I met you...
...when I was decocting the herb,
and was looking for someone to test it on,
instead I saved your life.
In this world,
some men are born lucky...
...Heaven-blessed.
You're probably one of these men.
But after saving you,
he'll be killed by you.
I owe him no grudge.
I won't Kill him.
Why don't you leave?
Is there anything I can do for you?
To tell you the truth,
there are many things I can do for you.
One year ago,
I would have needed your help,
but not now.
There's nothing else I can do.
Now I hate a man's name,
Who?
Yan Shi-san.
Had it not been for that name,
I wouldn't be in my present state.
Well, then, if I should meet him,
I'll kill him to avenge you.
Even if you can kill him,
it's no revenge.
Don't be surprise.
Many things in this world are inexplicable.
That's fate.
Maybe someday we'll meet again...
...facing each other crossed swords.
Who on earth are you, sir?
I'm a nameless man.
What? Is Third Master not dead?
No, someone saw him at...
...Wang Yun Pavilion nearby Mo Chou Lake.
How about Second Master?
He's still like a mad dog.
Wu Ya, let's go and find Yan Shi-san.
What do you want to see me for?
I won't ask for you...
...if it wasn't important.
Do I owe you anything?
No.
I'm giving you back what's yours.
This is your sword.
We picked it up at Green Water Lake.
Why?
Third Master is not yet dead.
Who says?
I'll take you to see him.
Why?
Because you're Yan Shi-san and...
...he's Third Master. Only one of you can live.
That's fate. When I wanted to find him,
they said he was dead;
Then "God of Sword" ceased...
...to mean anything to me,
now that I know he's alive.
Must I find him?
As a swordsman,
you must protect your image.
Why are you using the same tactic...
...3 times?
It was Third Master's fatal tactic.
Did you see it clearly?
Wait for him at Maple Wood...
...next month.
Will he show up?
He will, most definitely.
What are you doing?
We were sent by Yan Shi-san, come on!
What do you want?
Shut up!
Haven't you got anything prettier?
Isn't this pretty enough? Who is it for?
A bride.
Getting married. No wonder you're choosey.
The bride must be very beautiful.
Yes, very beautiful indeed.
I'll light the lantern every day...
...wait for you.
Xiao Li!
Xiao Li...
Yan Shi-san!
Yan Shi-san, brother Miao Zi...
Quiet! I'm waiting for Third Master...
...to tell him Yan Shi-san kill Xiao Li.
What?
The heads of the 30 branches are here.
What are your orders, sir?
You three arrange the funeral.
You three bring my sword and armour.
The rest go and find Yan Shi-san.
Yes, Third Master!
Third Master, please.
I've tried hard to be a common man.
But once renowned, one can't live...
...an ordinary life any more.
Third Master can be no-one but Third Master.
Now I regret ever having been Ah Ji.
Bring my sword and armour!
Goodbye!
Madam, they've already checked it.
It was Yan Shi-san who saved the Third Master.
What? Yan Shi-san.
Brother, what's the matter with you?
Do you recognize me? I'm your sister.
Madam, the Second Master may be a superb fighter...
...but he's insane.
He may kill the wrong man.
We've no other choice.
Come on!
Move my brother to the Maple Wood.
Yan Shi-san...
So you're waiting for me here.
Two swordsmen under the sun...
...will meet sooner or later.
When we meet, one of us will be killed...
...by the other's sword.
By which sword do you want to be killed?
Whichever one that can kill me,
I'll choose that one.
Why don't you fight then?
Are you going to stand there forever?
Forever...
Your voice sounds familiar.
It makes no difference.
I would kill you today...
...even if you were my saviour.
It's you?
The one who saved my life is Yan Shi-san.
And you're Third Master.
That's why you sound familiar to me.
Why did you kill Xiao Li?
Who killed Xiao Li?
I, I did.
Because I want Third Master to fight again,
and also the only way to get...
...Yan Shi-san to die here.
Save your arrogance.
Your killer is here.
Have you heard of the...
...young master of Mu Rongs?
Mu Rong Jin-long?
Didn't he go insane and died...
...practicing the art?
That's right...
...but he didn't die.
He went insane through practicing the art...
...the wrong way.
Luckily he came to, advanced in Kung Fu.
Even the combination of your skills...
...cannot equal his.
It is probably the will of Heaven.
Our generation may rule...
...the swordplay world.
Brother, kill them!
After you kill them,
our family will dominate over all.
Mu Rong Qiu-di,
you've already driven him mad.
Now you ask him to give up his life for you.
Shut up! Anyway you must die today.
Brother, kill them!
Kill them, and our family...
...will dominate everything.
Brother, kill them!
The Mu Rong family that dominated Jiangnan...
...ils no more.
I heard your caretaker say,
men of the underworld do many things...
...in spite of themselves, including killing.
Do you remember...
...I said I hated one name?
You said you hated Yan Shi-san.
Right.
Had it not been for this name,
I could have left here...
...and we wouldn't have had to fight...
...in front of the dead.
Why do we have to fight?
You're Third Master, I'm Yan Shi-san.
In the swordplay world,
Only one of us should live.
Forget it!
I can't and I won't kill you.
I'll give you the title of No.1 swordsman.
From now on I'll be known only as...
...Hopeless Ah Ji again.
Can you?
Can you be Hopeless Ah Ji?
You're still carrying a sword.
When I saved your life,
you said you would do one thing for me.
That's right.
Then you should have a fair fight...
...with me now.
Why?
Why do you want me to do it?
All my life I've been wanting an answer.
Which of us is the No.1 swordsman?
If I can't find out this answer,
I'll be ashamed, no matter alive or dead.
Well then.
Today is my last duel.
Yan Shi-san, now you'll have the answer...
...you've been wanting all your life.
Then I needn't feel ashamed, no matter alive or dead.
Goodbye!
Third Master's still the No.1 swordsman.
