Original subtitles

Good deals here!

Everyone get inside the house.

Hurry!

Chief, please.

Stop pretending. Give it to me.

Sir, have a pancake. They're only a penny.

Wu Dao-tong, do you want to give it to me or not?

Pancakes are the only thing I can offer.

What else can I offer you, sir?

The Black Iron Token.

Stop playing games.

You have Xie Yan-ke's Black Iron Token.

You better give it to me now.

Then you can stay alive.

If you were dead,

the Black Iron Token would be meaningless.

Right, I suppose if one dies then everything becomes meaningless.

Go.

Black Iron Token...

Little brother.

Did you see a group of people go that way?

Thank you.

The Black Iron Token.

Little brother, don't be afraid.

Where did you get this Black Iron Token?

Black...?

Right.

- What you're holding is the... - Black Iron Token.

Xie Yan-ke?

That's right, it's me. And it was me who killed Wu Dao-tong!

But I didn't get the Black Iron Token from him.

Even ifl had, I would not give it to you.

I'm afraid you have no choice.

Brother Bai, Brother Wen, Brother Feng, Sister Hua.

Good to see you — please don't fight over the Black Iron Token.

The Xueshan school clearly sent this guy to solve all our problems.

Everyone knows that the owners of Xuansu Manor

sent their son to study with the Xueshan school.

This insolent bastard!

Everyone stop fighting.

The Black Iron Token has been rightfully claimed by its owner.

Xie Yan-ke!

There's no need for you all to worry right now.

You still have two years before

I begin issuing rewards and punishments, as I do every three years.

Now, all of you should leave.

Ifl am provoked, I will kill you all.

Brother Xie, please wait.

When you allowed the Black Iron Token to circulate out in the world,

everyone knows that you made a promise connected with it.

That is true — whoever possesses my Black Iron Token

can ask me to do one thing for them.

No matter how difficult the task, I will always keep that promise.

It is because you made that promise

that everyone is fighting for the Black Iron Token today.

Well, now I have taken it back into my possession.

You no longer have to squabble and fight.

Brother Xie, you took the Black Iron Token

from the hands of this little brother.

According to your promise,

if this little brother asked you for a favour,

you could not refuse him.

Little brother, please ask this master

to stop issuing his rewards and punishments.

Every three years he kills many people.

Brother Xie, please keep your promises.

You can't hurt the one who returns the Black Iron Token to you.

This is a rare opportunity for every school and gang he targets

to survive in the future by stopping Xie Yan-ke from killing.

But...

Brother Bai.

When did you come to the Central Plain?

It wasn't only the four of us who came here to the Plain.

What happened at the Xueshan school?

Our martial arts school has produced a monster.

He raped Brother Bai's beloved daughter.

He then maimed several of his brothers and escaped from us.

We have been ordered to return him to the school.

You're not talking about our son, are you?

Yes, he is indeed your precious son — Shi Zhong-yu.

It's true that we spoiled him a little.

But he surely isn't capable of such evil things.

I doubt that this is true.

Not true?

I don't think that my daughter would have seduced him.

She just turned fifteen.

She committed suicide after that devil raped her.

When did all this happen?

A month ago.

Don't worry — please tell the chief of Xueshan

that we will go to the ends of the Earth

to find our son and return him to you.

The Xueshan school will find the truth and punish him.

I only have your word for that, Brother Shi.

And I'm afraid that this Xueshan school search party

won't retire until we find that monster.

Fine.

Okay.

You could ask me not to run so fast.

You'll die of exhaustion if you keep going like this.

I didn't ask you to stop.

You chose to stop.

You're a little beggar. You could beg to me.

I will give you money.

No.

My mother always said, you'll get what you deserve.

There's no use in begging for what you don't deserve.

Let's go.

This is where I live.

What is your name?

My name is Mongrel.

Nobody has such a name.

I don't know — that's what my mother always called me.

Mongrel is an awful name.

Do you want me to give you a new name?

No, my mother called me Mongrel.

She would be upset ifl changed my name.

Do you have other family members?

Only my mother — I live in the mountains with her.

I never meet any other people.

A few months ago, I woke up to find she was gone.

I came down from the mountains to look for her.

But now I'm lost and can't find my way home.

Do you want to know who I am?

No.

Well, these are the Sky-scraping Cliffs.

And I am known as the Skyscraper Master.

When people hear my name, they're so scared

that they can't eat or sleep.

Why would they be scared?

The names Skyscraper (Motian) and Mongrel are similar.

They are not that scary.

Do you not see my power?

You're very powerful. You can't be human!

What?

You seem more like the gods up in heaven.

I know you must already have a great master as your teacher.

Ancl you still want me to teach you martial arts?

If you ask me, then I will teach you.

Why would I want to learn martial arts?

I'm not going to ask you to teach me martial arts.

I wish to teach you even if you don't want to learn.

If you insist, I'll learn anyway.

Don't be angry.

How do you feel?

Like I'm in a fireplace.

Don't worry, I'll teach you how to remain cool.

Your body is full of yang energy.

Now you have to learn to generate yin energy.

Follow the places I touch and generate the energy.

You're a foul-smelling boy, but I can't just kill you myself.

But I can teach you how to generate internal energies

without telling you how to properly harmonise them.

Conflicting energies in your body will kill you.

Then I can say that I had nothing to do with your death.

Boy, you'll die soon.

Brother Bei, he looks like Chief Shi.

Let's go inside and take a look.

His body is as hot as fire.

Rubbish, he's as cold as ice.

He is using a superior method of generating energies.

But he has no idea how to use them — he's clying.

What can we do for him?

Do you think they call me "doctor" for no reason?

I can help him survive for a few more clays.

Let's take him with us.

Yes.

Brother Yu.

Brother Yu.

At last, you've woken up.

Someone's coming, I'll see you later.

Chief, you're up!

- Me...? - I'll tell Brother Bei.

Wait.

Brother Bei, this guy looks excatly like our chief.

But he doesn't know how to practise martial arts properly...

I think we should keep him alive until that devil Xie Yan-ke arrives.

Messages sent from the Yangtze River indicate

that Xie arrived at the Tie-qiang gang's base

with the intention of killing 137 of their men.

Their chief refused to interfere or to protect them from Xie.

He killed all 137 of them.

If Xie came here,

there might be three to five hundred names on his list.

They would all be killed.

- Including us, Brother Bei... - Xie Yan-ke might be a devil.

But he also promised that

if the chief is willing to sacrifice himself for all of us

then the rest of us will live.

Well, now we've found a fake chief who can redeem us.

So no need to be afraid, right?

The three of us must agree to keep this secret.

Brother Bei, the chief has woken up.

Chief.

Thank goodness. Chief, you're awake.

- And you three are...? - Your subordinate, Bei Hai-shi.

- Your subordinate Zhu Heng-ye. - Your subordinate, Qiu Shan-feng.

I don't deserve such treatment.

What did you call me?

Why am I your chief?

Chief, your name is Shi Zhong-yu.

You've been the chief of the Zhang-le gang for two years.

Is that so?

I'm not Shi Zhong-yu, my name is Mongrel.

I've been on the Sky-scraping Cliffs for the last two years.

Chief, you obviously aren't feeling well.

Please get some rest, we're leaving now.

Wait a second.

I'm confused — I thought I was on the Sky-scraping Cliffs.

How come I am...?

Sister, please come over.

You want me to come over so you can put your hands all over me?

What do you mean?

You are pretty.

Who are you?

You don't recognise me?

I'm Shi-jian, a maidservant.

A maidservant? What does that mean?

Stop pretending.

I'm telling the truth. Really, I'm not your chief.

I'm going to tell them.

Please lie down.

Now you believe me.

All I believe is that you can't remember.

How could I forget everything?

It must have been the way that old man taught me to harness energy.

Chief, Zhan-fei wants to see you.

Chief.

Rapist, you deserve this!

Brother Zhan, you...?

He raped my wife! I'll kill him!

Your Kaibei Palm is very powerful.

Is the chief dead?

I couldn't kill him. His energies repelled me.

What happened?

I don't know what happened.

I feel better now — my body is neither cold nor hot.

You rapist! You defiled my wife!

Defiled your wife?

Why would I defile your wife?

You just hit me with your palm, right?

You hit me with your palm and now I feel great.

No more hot and cold. Ancl no pain either!

Congratulations, Chief Shi.

Zhan's Kaibei Palm is very powerful.

He struck you at the Shanzhong acupoint on your chest.

It helped you to harmonise your yin and yang energies.

Now you've attained supreme martial power.

Supreme power?

Chief, Brother Zhan has clone a great thing for the gang.

Please don't punish him. Let him go unharmed.

He made me feel well. Why would I harm him?

I'd like to thank him.

And I am not your chief.

You have the wrong person. So, goodbye for now.

Oh, both of you...

Chief, please get some rest.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Get some sleep.

I hope I understand all of this when I wake up tomorrow.

It's you.

I am dreaming again.

Come.

Come.

I have prepared food and wine for you.

I heard that you have completely recovered.

The members of the Zhang-le gang are very happy about this.

Lady, who are you?

Why are you being so nice to me?

You don't know who I am?

I don't.

You've forgotten what you told me before?

Me?

I've never told you anything before.

Well clone.

This is my grandpa.

Grandpa, how are you?

Ding-dang, your lover is an idiot — I don't like him.

- Grandpa, you... - This kid...

You do have sharp eyes.

Grandpa, please come over.

Take a seat.

You take a seat, too.

Kid, what's your name?

My name is Mongrel.

Do you know who I am?

You are this young lady's grandpa.

Why do you address her as "this |ady"?

Because that's who she is! This lady!

What is this all about?

Grandpa, he's been practising his skills too much — he's confused.

I'm Ding-dang. You used to call me Ding-ding Dang-dang.

Ding-ding Dang-dang?

My grandpa is a cold killer.

So don't get funny with me, Brother Yu.

Right, your grandpa is Ding Busan.

I kill exactly three people every single clay.

Ancl I haven't killed my three today yet!

You grabbed my hand when you first saw me.

You wanted to kiss me.

I wouldn't do such a thing.

I was anxious and bit you on the shoulder.

You were bleeding.

You've had a scar on your shoulder ever since then.

You didn't bite me and there's no scar there.

Dang, what a bite! Let's go home.

Go home?

Of course, let's go home.

This kid is my grandson-in-law.

I don't think he wants to be.

But my granddaughter clearly bit him there.

He can't deny it.

How am I supposed to face anyone if you don't marry this kid?

Go.

Let's go.

Go.

Subordinate yourself to heaven and earth.

Kneel down.

Offer respect to the elders.

Come on.

Husband and wife, bow to each other.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, I'm not Shi Zhong-yu.

I'm just Mongrel, you're making a mistake.

Don't blame me later when you find out I'm not your guy.

You're a scoundrel trying to escape!

Now, kneel down!

I am Bei of the Zhang-le gang. I pay respect to Master Ding.

We are here to reclaim our chief.

DonT“.

Stop it! They are fighting because of me! I have to explain this mistake to them.

Okay! Everyone stop.

Listen to me — you have all mistaken me for someone else.

Chief, stop kidding around. We have important things to do.

The Xueshan school has dispatched many of their top fighters to find us.

Chief, you must come with us and resolve this problem.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, I don't want to leave you.

But you've made a mistake.

If I stay with you, you will live to regret it.

It's better for me to go with Brother Bei.

Mongrel — do you really want to leave?

Grandpa.

Chief, leave now.

ZHANG-LE GANG

The Zhang-le gang is a famous gang.

Why doesn't its chief come out to meet their guests?

Our four most senior men have already gone to find the chief.

Please, just wait a moment.

I've heard that the Zhang-le chief is just twenty-years-old.

Well, it is not rare to meet a young hero.

His name is Shi Zhong-yu?

Yes, he is our chief.

Interesting — the Xueshan school has been searching

for a traitor for two years.

A man also named Shi Zhong-yu.

He would also turn twenty this year.

The chief is here.

Let's meet Chief Shi.

Chief, please take a seat.

You're all from the Xueshan school, right?

I've met this young lady before.

You sure have a flair for recognising pretty young ladies.

Shi Zhong-yu.

The same mistake again. I'm not Shi Zhong-yu.

Brother Bai.

Brother Wen — this man is my arch-enemy.

I can't just kill him with one stroke of my sword.

The Xueshan school may be famous and powerful,

but the Zhang-le gang isn't weak.

Gang members or swordsmen...

One can't just ignore our moral codes.

His parents sent him to study with the Xueshan school.

Parents? I only have a mother.

I don't know who my father is.

He raped his martial sister and killed his brothers!

Brother Feng is his uncle, and he would happily kill him.

This man doesn't deserve any support from you.

Listen — Shi Zhong-yu clearly did awful things.

But I am not Shi Zhong-yu!

You have made a mistake!

Our school has unique methods of swordplay.

Each stroke has six thrusts

and leaves marks like those you see on the wall.

Shi Zhong-yu — before you committed your crimes,

you upset me and I wanted to teach you a lesson.

I left six of these marks on your leg,

which left six scars.

If you are not Shi Zhong-yu

then roll up your trousers and show us your leg.

I really am not Shi Zhong-yu.

I have no problem with showing you my leg.

Shi Zhong-yu, how do you explain this?

Chief, hit his Dazhui acupoint.

Where's the Dazhui acupoint?

Now, come along — and don't try anything smart, okay?!

Okay, I'll come along.

Let him go! Don't hurt the chief.

We'll return this little devil to the school.

Before we came to find the Zhang-le gang,

We asked Brother Shi and his wife to meet us here.

Should we wait for them?

The Shi family produce great swordsmen.

They have to follow our rules. They can't defend their son's actions.

Brother Bai — I thank you for the compliment.

MY Son!

Brother, no matter what has happened here,

please let us talk to our son before you do anything else.

No — and I've landed a blow on his vocal acupoint.

He can't answer you anyway.

Brother Bai — now that we are here

our son will not try to escape.

Please untie him and let him explain this.

No way.

But it is such a long way to Xueshan.

You can't just leave him tied up like this the whole way.

Brother Bai, don't worry.

If he escapes, we will be responsible.

Who knows what you're responsible for!

Do you know what this little devil has been doing?

He's chief of the Zhang-le gang.

I think you must know of them by reputation.

I'm not sure how that could have happened.

The Zhang-le gang has many powerful swordsmen.

Why would they choose him as their new chief?

Brother Bai, please untie him.

You're all going to fight again? I think it's better not to fight.

I hit your vocal acupoint. How is it that you can talk?

As this kind lady doesn't want me to be tied up, I'll get up now.

They torture people to get confessions!

We can't let them take our son away.

Fine, they're fighting anyway.

Son, let's go! They want to kill you!

They won't. I didn't do anything.

Why would they kill me?

Do you really want to kill me?

Old master, it's you!

How are you still alive?

You're a lucky man.

Old master, I don't understand.

Why is everyone calling me Shi Zhong-yu? Ancl "chief"?

And, honestly, it seems like I might actually be Shi Zhong-yu.

Ancl are you?

I don't know — I can't answer that question right now.

But you do want to tell me what's going on, right?

If you beg me, I'll listen.

If you don't want to listen, then I won't tell you.

Your body's yin and yang energies are harmonised.

Now you possess a most supreme level of power.

- No one is more powerful than you. - You're saying I have total power?

Let's go.

ZHEN-TIAN

Old master, what is this place?

The base of the Zhen-tian gang.

The Zhen-tian gang are great talkers.

But they're criminals who engage in dirty deeds.

Old master, what do they do?

According to my list of those to reward and punish,

the Zhen-tian gang has clone numerous evil things.

24 of them must die.

Should I kill them all, or will their chief die for them

and redeem them all?

Xie Yan-ke, you tyrant!

So, you and your gang intend to oppose me?

That's right.

You two!

- Son, Xueshan school accuses... - He didn't do it!

I didn't do anything.

You see.

Son, one has to face up to the things that they have clone.

Upholding your reputation is by far the most important thing.

You have to come with us to Xueshan — let's go.

Xueshan? Where's Xueshan?

Son, you...?

So, you two have made the same mistake.

You don't even recognise your mother?

Sure I would, if she was here.

Do you see what the Xueshan school has done to your son?

I'm his mother, and he said...

You must think I'm Shi Zhong-yu.

Right?

When that incident happened, back then...

Son, your mother needs to tell you something about the past.

Twenty years ago, you were just a year old.

Your younger brother had just been born.

We named him Shi Zhong-jian.

Your mother had an enemy, who was an evil woman.

Her name was Mei Fang-go.

She was the princess of an evil cult from the West.

Be good.

It sounds like this woman was very unreasonable.

Not only that.

The next night that evil woman...

- Mei Fanggu, you've taken Zhong-jian! - Back to you!

That evil woman killed your baby brother.

Zhong-yu — you are the only son we have.

It must have been very hard for you over the years.

But no matter what, your parents will take care of you.

I'm really not sure if that is what happened.

But I remember my own mother very clearly.

I am your mother. Call me mother now.

Are you sure I am your son?

I'm not - really, I'm not!

Zhong-yu — you must have had some great shock.

To the point that you can't remember anything.

Don't worry — we can treat him with medicine.

He will remember everything that has happened to him.

Heaven has shown mercy.

Now the three of us are together again as a family.

LAI'AN INN

What are you thinking?

The Zhang-le gang is famous and powerful.

Why would they want Zhong-yu as chief?

Zhong-yu has great power.

He deserves the position of chief.

I don't think so.

Right! This must be a result of the rewards and punishments.

You mean Xie Yan-ke?

Yes — the Zhang-le gang became powerful three years ago.

Its members have clone many evil things.

Bei Hai-shi is a cunning guy.

He wants to use our son to save the whole gang.

So, now we know what the Zhang-le gang has been planning.

Zhong-yu has enough trouble as it is.

He can't afford to have some more.

Should we flee to somewhere far away from here?

No, let's take our son to the Zhang-le gang's headquarters.

We'll explain to them that our son cannot be their chief.

Right.

Let's go.

That Shi Zhong-yu is really fortunate.

He has such good parents, and Ding-ding Dang-dang...

you're such a good wife.

What are you saying? Are you not Shi Zhong-yu?

Together we gave respect to heaven and earth.

But we never became husband and wife.

This situation is truly...

What kind of games are you playing?

He doesn't want you.

I should kill him at once.

Grandpa.

No nonsense from you.

If I want to kill a man, he won't escape from me.

Grandpa, you wanted me to marry him.

He doesn't even know who he is! I wanted you to marry Shi Zhong-yu.

Not some Mongrel.

Right, Ding-ding Dang-dang. Grandpa is right.

He's not right, he wants to kill you!

Grandpa, he isn't even fighting back.

It would be shameful to kill him.

Nobody stops him from fighting back.

He has great power, he doesn't want to hurt you.

You stupid girl! What are you talking about.

His inner power is greater than yours.

Why don't you fight back?

I don't even know martial arts.

Zhong-yu, I can teach you martial arts.

I bet you can beat my Grandpa after a month.

Oh, so now you have a husband

and you want him to fight your Grandpa?

You're trying to kill him!

Fine, tutor him for a month.

Then he can die with no regrets.

Have you really forgotten what you learned before?

I have never learned martial arts.

It doesn't matter — you have supreme powers now.

I can teach you anything within a month.

Then Grandpa won't be able to kill you.

Why does he even want to kill me?

Again!

Like this.

Where's that little devil?

Zhong-yu was with us.

We were taking him to the Zhang-le gang to resign.

Then we planned to take him to Xueshan to pay for his crimes.

But he suddenly disappeared.

- Only a child would believe this nonsense. - I never tell lies.

No matter what has happened to him,

Zhong-yu will return to the Zhang-le gang.

We should go to their headquarters and wait.

Fine, we'll go there and wait.

We'll wait for clays and clays!

Give that little devil some time to escape!

Brother Feng, if my son has committed these crimes

I will never forgive him.

Please trust me.

Fine — Brother Shi has promised to find his son and bring him to us.

And he will do that.

Fine, let's go.

What kind of martial arts is this? This kid is a dead man.

Go away! We haven't had our full month yet.

Fine.

You must practise — if you don't focus on practising

then I'll kill you before my Grandpa has the chance.

Fine, I'm practising.

Again.

More than eighty members of the Zhen-tian gang,

including their chief, were killed by Xie Yan-ke.

He also attacked the Fei-yu and Jin-long gangs.

He killed more than sixty people.

Xie Yan-ke is travelling down the river.

He will come to find the Zhang-le gang soon.

- Ancl Chief Shi is... - Still missing, I think.

Even if Chief Shi were here, there is something wrong.

Two years ago, he promised that if Xie came here to get us

then he would fight for us.

That's why we named him as our chief

and let him do whatever he wanted to do.

Now he's just a confused idiot.

You have made a mistake.

The one from Sky-scraping Cliffs is not Chief Shi.

Then who is he?

I just know he's not Chief Shi.

I put the scars on his body while he was unconscious.

My original plan was to keep him with us until Xie came for us.

Then we would force him to sacrifice himself for us.

But then he unexpectedly gained these supreme powers.

So, what do we do now?

We just have to find Shi Zhong-yu before Xie Yan-ke gets here.

You only have until noon, then your month is up.

Grandpa, can you give us just a few more days?

No — just a month. No delays.

Time's up!

Zhong-yu, don't worry!

Grandpa is no match for you!

Don't just defend, attack!

It's hot!

Zhong-yu, you win!

Grandpa doesn't want to kill me anymore?

He can't kill you.

You took his weapon.

He can't try to kill you again.

Forget it.

I imagine that Grandpa

will stay up in the mountains for at least the next ten years

to figure out how he can beat you.

This is Grandpa's blade.

It's very sharp. You can have it.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, I've been here for a month.

Mr Shi and his wife promised to take me to the Zhang-le gang...

Right, you will resign from being their chief.

I want to travel around with you and have some fun.

When Xie Yan-ke comes in, attack him immediately.

Don't even let him speak a word.

We will use a surprise attack.

Yes.

The chief has come back.

Chief, it's good to see you again.

We know that Xie Yan-ke is coming here soon.

He doesn't wish to lead the Zhang-le gang any longer.

Yes — I never even was the chief of the Zhang-le gang.

Chief, we all treat you well.

Now you have to keep your promise.

You've all been good to me, but I...

Mr and Mrs Shi and the representatives of the Xueshan school have arrived.

Mr and Mrs Shi are here! Mr Shi can explain for me.

Oh — but the Xueshan people are here to take me away.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, what should we do now?

What are you doing?

Son, where have you been?

I've been learning martial arts with Ding-ding Dang-dang.

Ding-ding Dang-dang's Grandpa wanted to kill me.

But he didn't manage it.

I realise that you have come a long way, but you must leave us alone.

We have something important to discuss.

We must talk with our chief now.

Brother Bei, he's just a kid.

How can he be your chief?

You can't use him as a scapegoat.

He made a vow before we elected him.

He promised to sacrifice himself.

Chief, isn't that true?

Is it true?

I don't remember.

Son — whether true or not, just say so.

If you made a promise, you have to keep it.

- I... I... - True or not, it doesn't matter.

He doesn't want to do it anymore.

Quiet!

Son, did you make this promise?

Someone made a promise, but he's not that person.

This one made the promise.

Not him.

Father! Mother! Please, help your son.

So, you are our son.

Mother, how could you not recognise your own son?

Ding-ding Dang-dang, you're here too.

So, you are Zhong-yu.

And you've been lying to me!

Shi Zhong-yu, do you recognise me?

Uncle Bai, why are you so upset?

You little devil!

Fine, call me names.

Call me a little devil, but what does that make my father?

We've been looking for you for two years — come with us.

And chief will decide what to do with you.

What crime have I committed?

They are accusing you of raping Brother Bai's daughter.

Who can really say what happens in a relationship?

It's her fault, if you ask me. I don't carry all the blame.

She jumped off a cliff. I didn't push her.

Be quiet, you...!

Mother, why is father so upset?

Son, if you hurt somebody then you should admit it.

It's really not my fault.

Quiet, all of you!

I don't care about your petty lives.

But don't try to stop me.

107 members of the Zhang-le gang are deserving of death.

I brought your chief back.

Will he sacrifice himself for all of you?

Or will you all die to pay for your individual crimes?

- Chief Shi, you promised us. - I made a promise — so what?

You think I'm so young and naive that I would die for you?

I'm not stupid.

- Son, a man keeps his promises. - Sure, but I won't die for them!

Calm down!

He is immoral and untrustworthy. I won't have a son like him.

We only have one son.

I won't just let him die.

If your chief will not sacrifice himself,

then I will kill all 107 of my intended victims.

Those of you who are not involved in this — leave now.

Old master, do you really want to kill these people?

Yes.

You should not kill again.

If you want me to stop killing people

then someone must sacrifice themselves for their crimes.

If someone does that, I will give them another three years to repent.

You've been chief of the Zhang-le gang for a few clays now.

If you're willing...

Fine, you can kill me. I'll be their sacrifice.

What a truly heroic act.

I'm not a hero. I'm Mongrel.

Sir, we...

I put the scars on your body. I intended to scapegoat you.

But you're so kind and virtuous. We're so... we're so...

Get up, get UP-

Everyone get up.

Old master, if you're going to kill me then kill me now.

I won't kill people who won't defend themselves.

I don't believe there could be such a fool in this world.

Mongrel, you're fighting as the chief of the Zhang-le gang.

- I won't be gentle with you. - I understand.

Watch out.

He's going for your legs!

Ancl now your head!

Old master, this is yours.

Brother Xie, you're a renowned martial arts master.

Your weapon has been snatched away by this nameless young lad.

Do you still want to fight?

How did someone still manage to get ki||ed...?

Sir, last time we met we took you for someone else.

We apologise.

It doesn't matter.

He really looks like me, no wonder you...

Chase him!

Zhong-yu, you're still running away?

Brother Bai, we must now take him to Xueshan.

Mother.

Fine, take him away.

If our son had any of the qualities shown by this young hero,

I would be very proud.

Chief.

Please, take your seat.

No, I can't.

This time we are sincerely electing you as our chief.

Right — but I don't want to be a chief, I don't even have a name.

I need to leave and look for my mother.

Chief, don't worry.

We have good connections.

We can help you to find out who you really are.

Do you know where your mother lives?

I can't tell you specifically, it's a place only I know...

Ding-ding.

Why would you cut off half of my name and turn.

Ding-ding Dang-dang into just Ding-ding?

You found your Zhong-yu, but I...

You are a kind and righteous hero.

I agree with Mr and Mrs Shi and the men from Xueshan.

Every one of them praises you.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, what are you thinking?

I mistook you as Zhong-yu and I'm sorry.

And now you've found him.

SO what?

He has only a few clays to live.

How come?

Didn't you hear what the Xueshan people said?

They said he has clone something awful.

Ancl want to execute him in Xueshan.

It's all your fault.

Me...?

You upset Grandpa and he left me.

Otherwise, I'm sure he could have saved Zhong-yu.

I...

If Zhong-yu dies, I don't want to live.

Even if he deserves this

it's terrible that his parents will have to die too.

Why?

What do you mean?

He's their only son.

They won't just let them kill him.

They will try to save him.

There are too many of the Xueshan. They can't possibly win.

No, I have to go to Xueshan to help Mr and Mrs Shi.

They are not my real parents.

But they were kind to me.

You might not save them.

Even if you can save them, they may not want to leave.

Even the Xueshan people might not want to hurt them.

They might be in deep grief after their son dies.

They will probably jump off a cliff.

Don't say that!

Ding-ding Dang-dang, do you have any ideas?

I do have an idea, but you might not like it.

I Will do it.

You look like Zhong-yu.

If you said you were Zhong-yu, no one would know the difference.

That's not a good idea.

I can't speak like him.

He's very eloquent

I've planned ahead.

I can put a medicine in your throat.

You won't be able to speak.

People will think you have an open sore — they won't suspect.

Then I can take Zhong-yu and we can run away together.

Okay, 1'|| do it.

It will hurt when I give you the medicine.

Be patient.

Chief, it's a trap.

She wants you to be her scapegoat.

No — ifl can save Zhong-yu, I don't care what happens.

LETIAN INN

Mr and Mrs Shi are staying here with Zhong-yu.

They want to keep an eye on him.

They just want to be righteous heroes.

They don't care if their son dies.

At least they are here with him — that's not easy.

I have some sleeping incense.

Nobody will find us out.

What is this?

People will fall asleep when they smell it.

Come here.

What's this new trick you're playing?

Brother Bai, Zhong-yu's throat has an open sore.

He's not pretending.

Ding-ding Dang-dang, you're very smart.

Ancl that fool believed everything you said?

That fool looks exactly like you.

But I'm far smarter than him.

What he did yesterday really benefitted the Zhang-le gang.

I'll go back to them and pretend to be him.

Good idea.

I can be their chief. Come on.

We're fortunate to have you back as our chief.

I don't even know my name.

Maybe I'm not good enough to be your chief.

You do have a name, you are Shi Zhong-yu.

Shut up!

Shi Zhong-yu, you might fool the others but you don't fool me.

Old master, it's me.

Who are you?

I'm Mongrel.

Very good.

Do you know what Mongrel owes me?

He owes me his life.

That's none of my business, I'm Shi Zhong-yu.

Are you still a murderess?

Yes, so what?

- You kill people, too. - I only kill those who deserve it.

That's what you think.

The people you kill don't think they deserve it.

I will not argue with a little girl.

I have unfinished business with that Mongrel.

I won't be distracted by you.

Lets go

Shi-jian — how did you know that he was Shi Zhong-yu?

Ding took the real chief away.

What do we do now?!

Let's go and find the chief's mother.

We'll ask her about the chief's identity.

I'm sure we will find out where the chief is.

It's here!

What? Has your throat recovered?

It's here. I remember, it's here.

After walking this road,

this is the place where I live with my mother.

Son, what did you say?

I didn't say anything.

- You're not Zhong-yu. - Yes I am!

I am Shi Zhong-yu!

No, you're not. Why are you doing this?

Ding-ding Dang-dang asked me to.

Where is Shi Zhong-yu?

I don't know. Ding-ding Dang-dang took him away.

Don't worry — the world might be huge but I am sure we will find them.

I used to live up on this hill with my mother.

I still remember that this is the road up to the hill.

Now, you all go and look for Shi Zhong-yu.

I have to find my mother.

We don't know if you really are Mongrel yet.

We can't let you go.

- I... - Brother Bai.

Congratulations, Brother Bai.

Why?

Brother Bai — your daughter is still alive.

She was found by hunters. She's recovering now.

Brother Bai, this is really good news!

But I can't just forgive that little devil Shi Zhong-yu.

Good, everyone's here.

Son.

Mongrel, let's go.

Brother Xie.

This young man is a true hero.

Our son is not.

Why do you want to take him away?

I don't care if he's a hero or not.

But he isn't leaving here without me.

He returned the Black Iron Token to my possession.

He still hasn't asked me to do a favour for him.

If he's manipulated by one of you, that might make life difficult for me.

Mother.

Son.

Old master — now I want to ask you for that favour.

This man has clone many bad things.

That is because he does not have a good teacher.

Old master,

please let him come with you

so that you can teach him how to change his ways.

No, mother! Please don't make me go with him.

Good idea.

Brother Xie, this is a promise you cannot break.

Fine, if you and your wife agree.

Our son needs good discipline. We have trust in you.

Come here.

Mother!

Zhong-yu!

Let's go.

Zhong-yu!

I asked Brother Xie to take him away.

That way he can learn to be a good person.

Zhong-yu!

Son

Madam Shi...?

She's just worried and wants to say a few words to our son.

You have clone us a great favour, and yet we do not know who you are.

I want to meet your mother and find out

if she is who I think she is.

It might be better if my wife does not come with me.

We can meet at home later.

Brother Shi, I'd like you to come with me.

Fortunately, my daughter is still alive.

Ancl Brother Xie will now teach Shi Zhong-yu good discipline.

We can now leave and return to Xueshan.

Chief, we've finally caught up to you.

Do you still want to make trouble?

Brother Shi, the chief has clone us a great honour.

We deeply regret all of our past actions.

All of our members now only want to serve the chief

in the most sincere and honest way possible.

That's why we came here.

We want to find his mother and find out who he really is.

You're trying to do good.

I find that very admirable. Please, come with us.

Okay.

It's here.

This is where my mother lives, I'm sure of it.

Where did those strange houses come from?

Where's my mother?

Mother! It's Mongrel! I've come back to you!

If Mei Fang-go is here, I am Shi Qing of Xuansu Manor!

Please answer me!

Who are you people?

Why have you taken Brother Shi away?

I've heard that Mei is the princess of a western cult.

You three have flame symbols on your heads.

You must be the Three Guardians of the West.

You have sharp eyes. That's right.

He is Green Dragon Guardian.

This is Red Bird Angel.

So, you must be White Tiger Angel?

Exactly.

You kidnapped Brother Shi.

What do you want?

Our Princess is deeply in love with him.

She doesn't want to return to her palace.

So her father asked the three of us to come to the Central Plain.

First, we were to build this palace. Then, we were to get Shi Qing.

We were told to take him to the princess.

Mother!

Who's your mother? You mongrel.

This mongrel is the bastard son of Shi Qing and Guan Rou.

The baby I returned to you that clay was someone e|se's.

After all these years, my love for Shi has long clied.

Now, I just want revenge.

If you want Shi Qing back, then go to Xuansu Manor.

Take Guan Rou's head and bring it back to me.

Then I'll release Shi Qing.

Otherwise, I will take Shi back to my palace.

I will torture him, and then destroy Xuansu Manor.

I want to kill Guan Rou and every person inside that Manor.

Brother Bei — what is my mother talking about?

I'm a bastard? Guan Rou? I'm very confused.

Guan Rou is Madam Shi.

She said that you are Mr and Mrs Shi's son.

That's why you look like Shi Zhong-yu.

She wants you to kill Madam Shu before she will release Brother Shi.

I can't do this, Brother Bei. What do we do now?

Let's get inside and rescue Brother Shi.

Right, Brother Qiu! Let's do this now.

Why did you kill Brother Qiu?

The members of my cult do not just kill one person.

We have killed tens and hundreds of them.

It is common for us.

I will also kill you, Mongrel.

It's no big deal.

Only my mother can call me Mongrel!

You aren't allowed to!

You treat life so casually, you must really be an evil man.

I'm coming! Go and help Brother Bei!

Brother Shi — what should we do with Mei Fang-go?

Let her go.
