“Chou”

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm looking for someone.

- Who? - Chou Hu.

Did you hear that? He wants to see Master Chou,

and he thinks he can call him by that name.

Is Chou Hu here?

He must be begging for death.

Is Chou Hu here?

Master... Master Chou is on that street.

Catch it.

Welcome my friends.

I have traveled to this great land of yours.

Because we're low on travel expenses now, so, if you can, please lend us some support.

I'm both underprepared and under-practiced.

So for parts that I don't do well, be generous and bear with me.

So, bear with me. Please.

Next, I'll be performing a new skill.

Master, that girl's not bad looking.

Enjoy youthful pleasures while you're young.

Whoever comes up here can hit me three times.

If I die we'll blame it on my bad kung fu, and that will be it.

But if I'm still standing afterwards, spare me some change if you will, friends.

Thank you, thank you.

I wanna try!

Okay, come over here please.

Thank you... thank you...

You are too kind.

Not so fast!

Excuse me, my friend. Your name is?

Who said he's your friend?

Listen! This is Chou Hu, famous across Jianghu.

Oh, the great Chou Hu. I apologise.

You have good kung fu.

Our master wants to try it out.

You're too kind.

I'm just making a living here.

No need to be so polite.

As you said before, we'll bet on three hits.

Bet on three hits?

If you don't fall,

I'll make you a rich man.

But if my fists bring you to the ground...

Master Chou, what are you asking for?

That your daughter will become my wife.

Master Chou, you're just joking, right?

My daughter is too young for this!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Old man,

now you know that I wasn't joking.

Get up!

Master Chou, I'm begging you! Please!

Master Chou, I'm begging you!

Father!

Get her and bring her back to me!

Excuse me. Did this girl do something wrong?

Stay out of other people's business, kid.

Our Master Chou is not to be trifled with.

Which one is your master?

Chou Hu, Master Chou.

Chou Hu?

His name is Master Chou!

This kid has a lot of guts. Kill him!

Yes, sir.

Now calm down!

You're just a kid.

Don't you know who you're dealing with?

Chou Hu, you haven't changed at all.

Still so savage.

You...

Chou Hu, do you remember saying,

"a beheaded weed will return if you don't rip out its roots"?

Who... who are you?

Father... father...

Attack!

Attack!

Father!

Thank you. But I can only return the favour by...

Father!

giving you my daughter's hand...

in marriage.

You can't die.

Father... father!

"Chou"

"Hu"

"Fang Bao"

You haven't gone to bed yet?

Please let me thank you for what you did.

Please stand up.

Have a seat please.

Miss,

I didn't kill Chou Hu to help others.

To be honest, I came here from far away

for the sole purpose of getting revenge.

You...

When I was six years old,

it was late one night when my parents

were brutally murdered by five assassins,

and Chou Hu was one of them.

Yun Chung-chun.

I knew this day would come.

Chang Shan-gong, we're here again.

Chou Hu, Liu Xiang,

you've murdered over 60 innocent people of my family.

You're merciless.

Chang Shan-gong,

give us the Spirit Chasing Sword,

and you'll never have to see us again.

You did all this just because of this sword?

And because we want to kill you!

Yun Chung-chun, I've hid this sword for years.

You know best that I've left the past behind,

and there's no bad blood between us.

Now because you desire the Spirit Chasing Sword,

you've caused a massacre today. You...

Chang Shan-gong, stop with all this nonsense!

I've come again for your Spirit Chasing Sword.

Fine then!

Master... Master...

What's wrong?

Quick, Ying-jie is inside...

Mother... Mother...

Master, take your son.

Chang Shan-gong.

Chang Shan-gong.

Back down!

Surely you know our pond's depth.

Fight me!

The Four Devils Strike!

Go over there.

Big brother, a beheaded weed's roots must be ripped out!

Let him live!

Big brother, a beheaded weed will return if you don't rip out its roots.

Let him live!

Later that day my father's fellow apprentice

saved me by taking me north to Qilin Valley.

I revere him for he is my master,

yet I still haven't forgotten about

my parents' deaths.

I made an oath to myself

that one day I had to find Yun Chung-chun,

including Chou Hu, Bao, Shi, Xiang.

I'd kill them all.

Sir, you aren't afraid they'll try to kill you?

I stopped worrying about death years ago.

Miss, I'm indebted to your kind and loving father.

He entrusted me with you, yet I have to fail him

because I haven't finished getting revenge.

I don't know if I'll die on this mission,

So...

Sir, do not worry about me.

I, Yang Ming-chu, may only be a lowly street performer,

but I can still tell right from wrong.

I may not be able to fight alongside of you,

but I won't let myself hinder you.

My only hope is that I'll see you again.

Stop!

I, Fang Bao, am looking for master warriors,

not worthless weaklings like you!

Yes, sir.

Whoever can beat me and my one hand,

he'll be rich and be this manor's martial arts master.

Whoever has enough skill, step forward now!

Let me have a try.

Fang Bao, it's been a long time!

Brother, have we met before?

Only just met?

In fact, I have something of yours.

Something of mine? What's that?

Think.

What is it?

Can't remember?

Okay then!

Fang Bao, this is yours.

What's wrong? Don't you recognise it?

You're... Tsai Ying-jie.

That's right. I am Tsai Ying-jie.

And I return this to you!

"Fang Bao"

That scoundrel!

Get him! Go after him!

Attack!

Stop.

Hey, young man!

Who are you?

I'm here to stir up a little more trouble.

Get outta here. Who in the hell are you?

I came here to watch you all die.

Over here!

You dirty scoundrel. How did you do that?

Take off that hat right now,

so someone can claim your dead body later.

Hurry up!

Fine!

Tsai Ying-jie, your skills truly are extraordinary.

You're much too kind.

I'm indebted to you for your help.

Thank you.

No need to be so polite. I admire you,

and have come from afar to see you.

"The World's Finest Sword"

Your words carry much weight.

As we all know, you're the unrivalled Black Dragon warrior.

Not true.

The world's best martial artist will be determined by our swords.

Your bravery is unequalled.

I concede defeat.

Tsai Ying-jie, I want a sword fight.

I haven't gotten revenge yet. I can't.

Please forgive me, brother.

Then I won't force you to fight me,

but you must promise me one thing.

What is your demand, brother?

That I can wait for you until you have had your revenge.

Well...

I will obey your wish.

- That scoundrel is coming. - What? That fast!?

Did Fang Bao get away in time?

Same as Chou Hu.

He was killed, too.

Ah! Is this boy really that fierce?

I don't think we can wait any longer. Let's talk this over with Brother Yun.

Okay!

Brother Yun!

You two must be exhausted. Have a seat!

The thing about Tsai Ying-jie...

We should deal with it immediately.

This scoundrel is absolutely merciless.

The only way to defeat him is for us three to unite.

That's right.

I fear that even with us three together we won't be able to defeat him.

Brother Yun, why have you been acting so timid lately?

You don't think three of us can defeat him?

Brothers, we've taken too much from him.

Perhaps it's time for this debt to be paid.

Huh? What are you talking about?

You're saying to just wait until he kills us?

We can get the upper hand by attacking first.

Brothers, I won't agree to a new lifelong conflict.

Now if you'd be willing to hear me out...

No! We can't listen to you.

Since you fear him, we'll go our separate ways!

Brother Yun, let me remind you that the more you fear him, the more he wants to kill you!

Say no more. We're leaving!

We'll just carry out our own plan then.

Sounds good!

Brother Chou, It'd be better for you to come with me

into the mountains to see Master.

No, I want to wait until the sword fight.

There's nothing between you and Tsai Ying-jie. Why bother?

If I can't be the best, I'd rather lose with dignity.

You are a man of heroic deeds and actions.

"Peace Inn"

Brother Chou, what do you think is going on over there?

- Tonight, we might get to watch a good show. - I see.

"Peace"

Here's your rice wine.

Waiter!

I'm coming! It's great to see you again!

Bring me a pot of rice wine! A plate of spiced beef, too!

We're going to need your table, my friend!

Are you deaf, can you not hear me?

So you'd rather be punished than submit now?

So stubborn.

Fine, let's see if you move now!

Since you won't move, I'll just do it myself.

Back down!

My man doesn't understand how things work.

- I apologise if he offended you, my friend. - It's fine.

Would you mind if we put our tables together, so we can all have a drink together?

I don't want to trouble you.

It's fine. Let me move the table myself.

No need to do all the heavy lifting.

Please sit.

Please have a seat.

Delicious!

Have some. Have some!

Don't let him get away!

Tsai Ying-jie, escaping from here won't be easy.

Yin Shi, Liu Xiang.

What I want to see is how you'll get away.

Attack!

Open the door!

After him!

We should do something, brother Chao.

You want to save him?

How can I not?

Hold on. Why?

You'll know why one day.

So many people fight against one. How is that fair?

If one is not enough, I'll kill you too, you nosy woman.

It's Flying Swallow!

Miss.

You've returned, Uncle.

Is this warrior doing any better?

He hasn't woken up yet.

His face doesn't look very good.

I'm not sure how long it'll be until he wakes.

Swallow, he'll never wake up again.

But...

He was hit by Xiang's Spirit Killing Dart.

His poison has no rival. Very few survive it.

Brother Chao!

So...

If he's not awake in 7 days, he's dead.

So what are we going to do?

There's nothing that I can do.

But Brother Chao!

Only one person has that poison's antidote.

Who is it?

Go back.

Master, I'm begging you.

Hurry up and get going.

You two are causing trouble everywhere.

How can I call you two good apprentices?

Master, I...

I can't just not save Tsai Ying-jie.

Please give me the medicine. I'm begging you.

He's the orphan of a family my father hated.

For years this conflict has been unsettled.

We searched for him for years

because my father's intent was to...

Say no more.

I know the Tsai and Yun families' enmity.

You aren't afraid that in the future he'll...

I'm not.

Because he's the family's orphan,

and that's why I saved his life.

I yearn for this conflict to come to an end,

so I must save him.

Master, I'm begging you!

This truly is your intent?

I have no other intention.

Swallow.

Swallow.

Brother Chao!

Brother Chao!

Swallow, seeing how well you've taken care of him,

he should recover in few days.

After all, you saved his life.

My only fear is that you wasted your time.

What do you mean, Brother Chao?

For years I've yearned to see his Spirit Chasing Sword.

So sooner or later I must challenge him.

So, you...

Please tell Tsai Ying-jie

I, Chao Chi-lung, is waiting for him.

You two have no bad blood. Why must you fight?

Your sword skills are unrivalled, so why do you need to...

No. My greatest enemy is Tsai Ying-jie.

As he becomes more renowned, my desire to fight him grows even more.

Swallow, take good care of him. See you soon.

Brother Chao!

Master Tsai... Master Tsai...

Master Tsai...

You're awake!

Master Tsai.

"Yin Shi"

Miss, thank you very much for saving my life.

I was glad to. Are you feeling any better?

Much better. It was like having a bad dream.

Sir, you keep resting,

while I go make something hot for you.

Thank you.

"Yin Shi"

Sir, I think it'd be better if you lay down.

Miss, why did you save me?

And why have you taken such good care of me?

I don't have a reason.

The Tsai Family is indebted to you.

How can I thank you?

Don't say all that.

Take care of yourself.

Do you know who I am?

You are the great swordsman, Tsai Ying-jie.

Who doesn't know that?

But, who could ever know...

what happened to the Tsai Family 18 years ago?

It's been 18 years, but not a second goes by

when it doesn't torture me.

I've searched everywhere for my enemies.

Sir, you know how hatred grows deeper with time.

Why reignite the fire of tragedy?

"Yin Shi"

"Liu Xiang"

"Yun Chung-chun”

Yun Chung-chun...

Yun Chung-chun.

You know this person?

I don't know him.

He led the group that killed my whole family.

I must find him personally,

and finally settle this debt.

Sir, Master Tsai, you're so cruel.

A true man repays kindness when helped,

and gets revenge when wronged.

Don't blame me for being cruel.

I promised myself

that I'd find Yun Chung-chun or die instead.

Miss,

I know that scoundrel, Tsai Ying-jie, isn't dead yet.

Liu Xiang,

save yourself by fleeing now.

Don't come back here asking to die.

I'm afraid you're the one who's going to die.

You all need to leave as fast as you can.

We're not going to let you off that easily. Attack!

Miss, we're not going home empty-handed.

Miss, this isn't between us. I won't fight you.

That scoundrel was hit by the darts, he won't live long anyway. Out of my way!

- I won't let you go inside! - Out of my way!

Don't move!

Liu Xiang.

You...

Ying-jie.

Liu Xiang, so you didn't die after all.

I came here to see you die!

"Yin Shi"

"Liu Xiang"

Ying-jie.

Do you believe hatred can never be purged?

Yes.

What's the point of passing on hatred from the last generation?

If the last generation did something wrong and the next generation repeats the mistake,

won't the problem’s roots only grow deeper?

Miss, how do you judge the right or wrong of the next generation?

Look!

Yun Chung-chun...

Ying-jie, is something bothering you?

You haven't eaten anything today.

Not hungry?

I'm not hungry.

Ying-jie...

No more questions. My heart's a mess now.

You're...

"Yun Chung-chun”

"Yun Chung-chun”

Swallow, give me the tablet right now!

Hurry!

Ying-jie, did you forget what you promised me?

I didn't forget, but...

But you've changed your mind?

Give me back the tablet. Give it back to me, now!

Ying-jie, listen to me.

- Please spare him! - Spare who?!

Yun Chung-chun!

No, I can't. I can't forgive him.

Give the tablet back to me. Give it to me!

No.

I don't want to see you kill for revenge again.

That's for me to decide.

- Stay out of this. - Ying-jie, you...

Stop talking and give me back the tablet!

Miss, are you okay?

What are you two fighting over?

Weren't you fine this morning?

Why are you arguing again?

Swallow, I'm sorry.

I... I didn't do that on purpose.

Swallow...

please forgive me.

Ying-jie, I...

I implore you to promise me one thing.

What is it? Please tell me.

I...

Tell me.

I'll do whatever you say as long as

it doesn't stop me from seeking revenge.

Swallow, what is it that's bothering you?

Ying-jie, for you, gratitude and hatred,

which one is more important?

Repay kindness when helped, get revenge when wronged.

Both are equally important.

It's an honour for me to be in your presence.

I am old now. Forgive me for waiting in here.

Thanks for the treat.

No need to be so polite.

Please have a seat.

Bring us some tea.

Yes, sir.

Here you are, Master.

- Please. - Please.

Pardon my manners.

Stop!

No starting any trouble.

Please don't be offended by his depravity.

You're too polite.

"The fearless attack, yet the fearful do not."

What's your opinion on this old saying?

Well, your bravery is unequalled.

You're worthy of being your father's son.

Your words flatter me.

I know the purpose of your visit,

I've been waiting for you for years.

Forgive me for being late.

When I think about back then and what I did

to obtain your father's Spirit Chasing Sword.

I caused a massacre

that I've regretted for many years.

Can you see how I now recognise my mistake,

and forgive this old man?

Can one forget about his father's death?

If so, does this world separate wrong from right?

I'll atone for my sins by cutting my arm off in front of your father's tomb.

It's too late for that.

Then... what do you want?

Sword against sword. An eye for an eye.

I've always known that this was karma.

It's unavoidable.

Please tell me when and where.

Tomorrow morning in front of Taiwu Temple.

Okay then. I leave you now.

Wait! Return the sword to its rightful owner.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

"Yun Chung-chun”

You're here.

Sorry about making you wait for so long.

I've already waited for you for many years.

You didn't tell your friends to come help?

This is between the Tsai and Yun families.

We don't need other people getting involved.

Well, then please excuse my rudeness.

Please prepare yourself.

Please go ahead.

Impressive swordsmanship.

You're much too kind.

Are you... are you hurt?

I'm... I'm fine.

Please come down.

Okay, then!

In today's sword fight,

I, Yun Chung-chun, have been defeated by you.

You can now kill me in whatever way you wish.

You...

I'll die without any resentment.

But I, Tsai Ying-jie, won't kill anyone who's unarmed.

Please pick up your sword.

What's wrong?

I'm blind.

Attack me. Please make the first move.

Okay!

My sword's coming for you.

Stop!

Swallow, you...

Father.

Tsai Ying-jie, you... you can't kill my father.

Your father?

Yun Chung-chun is your father?

Yes.

Swallow, I order you to stay away.

You...

Father!

I'm... I'm your daughter!

Go back. Hurry up!

Father, you're hurt!

Get out of my way!

Tsai Ying-jie,

I'm begging you. Let him live for my sake.

Let him go!

But...

He's blind and about to die from old age.

If you don't kill him,

he doesn't have many years left to live.

I'm begging you, let him live!

No! I can't. I must get revenge for my father.

Tsai Ying-jie,

Repay kindness when helped and revenge when wronged.

The two are equal. You told me this before.

Swallow, the conflict between the two families happened first.

Your help came later.

I must avenge my dead parents.

After that, I'll do whatever you say.

Tsai Ying-jie!

Swallow, please get out of my way!

Swallow, this is none of your business. Go away!

Father.

Tsai Ying-jie...

Father, don't go to him. He'll kill you!

We will all die one day. My time is now.

I will help him do what an honourable son must do.

Father, you...

Out of my way! Li Bao, give me my sword.

- Master... - Hurry up!

Tsai Ying-jie, go ahead.

Prepare for my sword!

Ying-jie.

Ying-jie...

Look at him. He's been hurt badly.

Yet you keep trying to kill him.

You... You're merciless.

If I didn't save your life that day,

how would you still be living today?

I saved you.

In return, let my father live!

What I did for you... does it mean nothing?

Ying-jie, please forgive him.

I'll be your servant for the rest of my life

if you show kindness by sparing his life.

Ying-jie, forgive him. Please let him live.

Ying-jie, forgive him. Please let him live.

A beheaded weed's roots must be ripped out!

Let him live.

A beheaded weed will return

if you don't rip out its roots.

Let him live.

Ying-jie.

Ying-jie.

You...

Thank you so much.

Father, Mother, I'm a disobedient son.

I should die for not avenging your death.

I hope your souls find peace in Heaven.

Father...

Tsai Ying-jie.

I congratulate you on fulfilling your mission.

I didn't forget what you did. Thank you.

Ying-jie, do you know why I came here?

This...

Ying-jie, you didn't forget your promise, right?

I must go to the mountain to see my master.

Please forgive me.

Honour is very important to the martial world.

But I'm truly not your opponent.

Brother, the coming day would be long. We'll meet again one day.

You're not acting like a true hero, Tsai Ying-jie.

Then please tell me what I should do.

Meet me at Skull Bay in three days.

Okay.

You arrived first.

For over a century,

the Spirit Chasing Sword ruled Jianghu.

Today we fight to see who is superior,

and this fight is my life's greatest desire.

Tsai Ying-jie,

I'll use traditional Black Dragon techniques

to defeat your Spirit Chasing Sword.

Brother, you're very handsome.

Tsai Ying-jie!

Brother Tsai, my Black Dragon techniques have been defeated.

You truly are “The World's Finest Sword”.

You're too polite.

This fight can't determine who's superior.

Please forgive me, Brother.

I'm grateful you held back your full strength.

You truly are the Swordsman of all Swordsmen.

Even though I didn't avenge my father's death,

you helped me, putting yourself in great danger.

I'll never forget what you did for me.

Brother...

Brother Chou, take care of yourself.
