SORCERER

DHAMMA

Chief Li has arrived!

Chief Li, what business brings you here to the Sorcerers' Hall this time?

- Where did they go? - They've disappeared!

Master Tit, do you remember the second chief

from when the Boxers was established?

You mean the renowned Lui Gung?

Correct.

Lui Gung was sent to Yunnan three years ago

to establish a branch of the Boxers.

Then the Boxers is getting more and more powerful?

No!

He disbanded the Boxers in Yunnan.

According to the rules of the Boxers,

rebels are to be drawn and quartered and their entire family killed.

Lui Gung had a plan from the start, to overthrow the Boxers.

He wants to prove spiritual boxing, sorcery, and Maoshan

are all deceptions,

and it cannot withstand foreigners' firearms.

If the Empress Dowager comes to know of this,

then we'll have it!

Even if Lui Gung had superb ability, it wouldn't matter.

I've decided to send spiritual boxers, Maoshan, and sorcerers,

all three acting individually and in secret.

Even if he hides at the edge of the world, we must seek him out!

- Good, I'll lead all the sorcerers-- - No.

Right now, too many people might stir up the Boxers.

The fewer men, the better.

Yes.

Whoever goes to execute Lui Gung, regardless of success or failure,

must commit suicide so there is no future trouble.

- Yes. - To err on the side of caution,

I want to see you make the decree with my own eyes.

Sorcerers should risk their lives for the cause.

Good.

We have confirmed that Lui Gung is hiding in Canton.

But you must remember:

Lui Gung is old,

but his martial arts training has reached the level of transformation.

Chief Li, does Lui Gung have other traits?

Yes.

Lui Gung has a bad habit of showing his skills unconsciously.

He's well versed in 18 styles of martial arts.

Tit Hau!

Anyone with these 18 styles of martial arts... kill them!

Rally to worship!

Chief Li, were you startled?

I wasn't startled.

Your intention of coming here to our Maoshan circle

was long known to us.

Lui Gung cannot escape us, the Maoshan circle.

GOD

Rally to worship.

Invincible powers.

The spirit comes.

Invincible sorcery.

Bring the firearm troops.

Invoking spirits.

Guns are ineffective.

Fire.

Try again.

- Master. - Wait!

You've practised your invulnerable sorcery for a long time!

Chief Li, our sorcery will succeed.

Succeed?

So why has the Yunnan branch of the Boxers been disbanded?

This only concerns Brother Lui Gung, it has nothing to do with the circle.

Then do you know that we have fewer and fewer Boxers?

It's because Lui Gung, who disbanded the Boxers branch

knows too much about our rituals.

Chief Li!

- Temple of Earth. - Decree received!

TEA

CANTON

Thank you, guest.

Guest, have a seat inside!

- I'm going over there. - OK.

Guest, come in and have some tea.

Guest, what tea would you like to drink?

We, in Canton, are famous for Lychee Black Tea, Pu'er, Longjing,

- Shui Xian, and-- - Whatever.

- Where are you from? - Make the tea, quick.

- Yes. - Guest, please have a seat.

- Please have a seat. - This second uncle's outrageous.

Haven't seen him after waiting so long. Is he hiding?

There's no reason for it.

I wrote clearly in my letter that we meet at the teahouse.

Waiter,

- how long's that guest been here? - That guest--

For a long time.

No, I'll go look for him!

Sorry!

Don't be so nervous. Have a seat first.

He'll surely come.

Come, sit down first.

Hey!

Hey!

You want my toy figurine?

Good. Come get it if you can.

It's free for you.

Come and get it.

Come on! Come and get it!

Everyone, please stop.

Don't be afraid.

This old man has been retired for many years.

I've such a benevolent look,

how could I kill anyone?

This guy is even combing his beard. How arrogant!

That's right. How pretentious!

'Ah' what? Don't you remember my name?

Yes, Master Mo.

Which inn are we staying at?

You're so stupid. Don't you know I have many enemies?

We can't stay at any inn.

- You idiot! - Yes.

Let's go!

Come in, have some tea.

- Where's the person who sat here? - I don't know.

Waiter.

Which inn in this city accommodates the most people?

Fuk On Inn.

FUK ON INN

Guest, I'll keep your horse for you.

Guest, please come in and sit down.

Please enjoy.

Guest, what's your name?

My surname is Tit. Call me Hau.

- What do you do? - I am a messenger.

So you're a postman.

There's a boss in the capital

who's asked me to deliver a letter to someone.

- Lui-- - Don't read it. You know him?

- I don't. - Thanks.

Guest, you take up the room on the top floor.

- Shing, serve our guest. - Right.

- Guest, what are you in the mood for? - Whatever, just a few dishes.

OK.

Fried beef with bitter melon!

Scared me to death!

You young fellows are so agile.

Be more careful.

Get up.

So careless!

What's wrong with you?

You almost hit the young fellow behind.

Sorry, guest.

I've had it. Get the bill for me.

Right!

Sorry, guest. I'll change these for you.

Guest, that'll be four dollars and five cents.

- Put that on my account. - OK.

Have some tea.

ROOM A

Guest, the guests in this room just left. It hasn't been cleaned yet.

Will the guests in this room come back?

I don't know.

Then... I'll stay in this one.

OK.

- What's upstairs? - The attic.

Attic?

- What is it for? - Putting odds and ends.

- What is it, guest? - There's someone up there.

Someone? It can't be.

It's just old, unused items. There can't be anyone.

How come there's noise?

- It must be a cat catching a mouse. - Cat catching a mouse?

There, guest. See? I've said it's a cat catching a mouse.

Fire!

- Weird. Why's there smoke in the attic? - Why's there a fire?

Why did a cat jump down?

Sorcerer?

YUE LOI INN

- Do you know this person? - Sorry, I don't.

Do you recognise this person?

- I don't. - Thanks.

Guest, take your time. Please...

Guest, please come inside!

- Half a chicken. - OK.

- Let me tell you the total-- - Hey!

- And half a catty of liquor. - Sure.

Quickly!

- Took a total of 15 piculs. - I think that's all.

Right... In total, it is two dollars and four cents.

Lui Gung, you've appeared at last.

- Here is two dollars and four cents. - This is genuine Peking rose wine.

Thank you, sir.

Uncle Yu, our firewood isn't finished yet.

- Really? - You needn't bring any tomorrow.

I'll bring some to you in two days, then.

OK.

Uncle Yu, what's wrong? Are you OK?

Uncle Yu, are you all right?

I'm fine!

Thanks.

Chu, why are you so careless?

- No, it wasn't my fault, it's-- - Chu, how do you go about things?

It was me who accidentally bumped into you.

- It was you? - Sorry, sir.

It's all right.

Uncle Yu, I'll carry the firewood for you.

No need. I'm more comfortable doing such things myself.

Sir.

Guest, please come in. Please...

- Haven't seen him? - No.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Sir.

Uncle Yu's firewood is cut so neatly?

Yeah, more than neat.

Don't mind his trembling hands.

That load of firewood weighs 300 catties.

He's famous here for hacking firewood.

Kit!

You all right?

Uncle Yu!

- You all right? - I'm OK. Look.

Nothing's wrong?

The mosquito net has fallen.

- How could that have happened? - Won't you pick it up, quick!

Kit, let's roll it up.

Come on.

There's a ghost!

- Don't be scared, it's a gust of wind. - Gust of wind?

It's sunny, where's the gust of wind?

Could it be that Uncle Yu has gone crazy?

Uncle Yu, you've gone crazy?

Nonsense. He's saying that the wind had come from me.

You must have sorcery.

- I have sorcery? - You must be Lui Gung!

- Me, Lui Gung? - Right.

Stop joking!

He's gone mad!

No, he's scared.

Young man...

Hey kid, don't you fear Lui Gung?

- What Lui Gung? - Thunder from heaven.

Uncle Yu, what's your surname?

My surname is Tin. I'm called Kung-Yu.

- Tin Kung-Yu? - Yeah.

Uncle Yu, who taught you spiritual boxing?

Spiritual boxing?

Young man, how do I know such things?

Who used the wind to escape?

Who? Was that a ghost?

It was me!

You again!

Pal, don't waste your hidden weapons.

Flying hook. What were you doing at the inn last night?

What were you doing?

- Looking for someone. - Me, too.

For Lui?

- Yes. Lui Gung. - Calling the spirits.

- Power of the spirits. - Spiritual Boxing circle?

- Where you from? - Headquarters in the capital.

You took the decree?

Sorcery circle.

You took the decree and came to Canton to act?

Calling the spirits.

Our fan.

Lui Gung, you can't go far.

- Who was that person just now? - It's my uncle.

The Spiritual Boxing circle sent you both here?

Yes.

- Why are you so afraid of him? - I'm not.

It's just that our ways are different.

Different? Aren't you from the same circle?

No. I belong to Temple of Heaven. He's from Temple of Earth.

I don't care what temple you are. When I evoke spirits, don't you be there.

We'll see who's able to catch Lui Gung first, then.

Good.

- Take him to the top floor room. - OK!

- Top floor room. - Sure!

- Guests, please go upstairs. - Please go up!

Hey!

'Hey' what? Who are you calling?

Mr Mo.

You owe me 15 days' rent. Could you please settle it tonight?

Where's the banknote I gave you?

- The banknote wasn't cashed. - Not cashed?

Hence I say that my money is coming from Peking!

A boat, horse ride, and walking. Doesn't that take time?

Idiot.

Everyone's gathered here.

Mr Mo, come.

I went from a face full of beard to a five-piece one to a three-piece

to a goatee to a moustache, and now I have a face with no beard.

I've tried everything.

We've stayed in all the inns in Saikwan. We must leave tonight.

You guys are so full, you bastards won't be able to walk!

What's to fear?

- We've got a big business. - Yes.

Big business? Really?

Big business... What big business?

This business requires you to pretend to be--

- Someone's father-in-law? Grandfather? - No.

- A dutiful son? - No.

Then it must be impersonating a groom!

This time you are to impersonate a martial arts master.

Do I look the part?

You have to play a spiritual boxer,

invulnerable to guns, even!

That guy is your boss.

Are you crazy? I don't know such things.

- This business involves a lot of money. - Yeah.

I'm not doing it!

- If you can lure him out-- - How much more can I get?

Yeah, lots of money!

I won't do it. Doing this and that...

I'll be killed.

Don't worry.

Stay calm.

Isn't this enough?

I'll do it!

If this pulls through, jackpot!

SAFEGUARD THE EARTH, PEACE TO THE PEOPLE

Fresh duckbill pears. Refreshing and sweet.

Buy now. Fresh duckbill pears!

Fresh duckbill pears. Delicious!

Delicious!

Delicious duckbill pears.

Get stuffed!

Fantastic. He's still fine after all this.

Spectacular.

Magnificent.

Trick me? Pointless!

Come out!

Traitor! We've looked for you for years. Didn't expect you'd be hiding in Canton.

Bastard,

this uncle is so powerful.

Why should I hide?

I'll go wherever I like.

You bastard.

You aren't qualified to stop this uncle -- Lui Gung!

Kill him!

Go first.

- Lui Gung. Where is he? - He's gone.

Lui Gung!

- Lui Gung! - Come out!

Lui Gung, you come out here!

- Hey! - Come out!

Out of the way!

- Come out! - Hey, come out!

Lui Gung!

- Be smart and come out. - Come out!

- Or else I'll cut you to pieces. - Hey, Lui Gung!

- Come out! - Bravo! He's still alive.

Over there!

Bravo!

What sorcery weapons do you have?

Show me.

You're still here?

Don't force me to burn you to death with the Five-Thunder Fire.

Watch me evoke!

It's OK!

- Lord Kwan has been evoked. - You haven't seen this.

We're almost ten years older and seeing these was common, right?

My sword!

My--

- Who are you? - I'll kill you.

Damn it!

Not so much force. It's painful!

Good.

It's torn!

It's broken!

Come here!

That's amazing!

- Lord Kwan shooting arrows? - Yeah, why?

Hey, this isn't Lord Kwan, it's Hou Yi.

- Hou Yi? Who's that? - Husband of Chang'e, who shot the sun.

Chang'e, where are you going?

I shoot!

Oh, my God! Black dog blood!

He's finished if he sees black dog blood.

Dissolving his power.

Oh, no!

Blood! A lot of blood!

I feel terrible!

Lui Gung, still alive?!

How could I die?

Look! Intestines can be retracted!

He's really amazing! Fighting with his intestines put back in.

Let's see how you can kill me - Lui Gung!

I'm hurt!

- Incredible! - Yeah!

WASHROOM

You came.

Are you blind?

If I hadn't come, how would you see this blood?

Your blood looks a little thin.

Saying that my blood is thin?

It's fake.

It stinks!

- It stinks! - Water monster!

- Did anyone come? - No way.

I looked in all directions when I arrived.

No one followed me.

My buddies said your payment was late.

They're making a noise about it.

Pay up.

Hey!

Little Brother, I hadn't expected that you could act so well as Lui Gung.

If you can really help me lure out Lui Gung, I'll reward you again.

As it should be!

The intestinal fight just there, what we did was really good.

Big Snake Ming, pass it on.

Take it. Come on, take it.

What are you doing? Take it.

Hey, what are you doing? Take it.

What? Too little?

You... only deserve a dollar.

Wanna attack me?

Damn kid, the knife's broke!

This water smells foul!

The moustache has gone up your nose.

Who are you?

Your kind of sorcery isn't his; you're not Lui Gung!

Why are you impersonating Lui Gung?

Speak.

Why are you in a murderous pursuit of Lui Gung, then?

What grudge do you have against him?

- Why no expression when you speak? - Me?

You want to see expression?

This is just a little ventriloquism.

I'm guessing you were sent by the Sorcery circle.

Breathless ventriloquism.

Your Maoshan power is quite strong.

It's a bit late to realise that now.

Kid, why are you still here? Don't stop me waiting for someone.

You!

Hands off!

Hey, give it to me!

Hey, give it to me!

Give it back to me.

Where's Lui Gung?

You're covered in shit and unworthy of a fight with me.

Go take a bath first.

Pal, get dressed first or you'll catch a cold easily.

I've found it! Hey!

Try it.

It's not moving.

Damn it! So Vigorous!

- No. - Is it gone?

- It's not there. - It's gone.

We've made a lot of money this time!

A lot of money!

- Where's the money? - Hey!

- Where's the money? - Money?

Hey! Show me it!

- No. - Oh, no!

Oh, my God! All the money's dropped in the shit pit!

Oh, boy!

Look for it!

Guest, it's your meal.

Come in.

Guest, why have you ordered dinner so late today?

- Yes. - Please enjoy your meal.

- Uncle Luk. - Yes?

Mr Fong's account, please.

Mr Fong.

- Have you found your teacher? - Not yet.

Brother, you look bad. Are you sick?

Still 'delivering a letter' when you're sick?

Brother!

- Sir, I'll settle the account later. - OK.

Sir, are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm grateful to you, kid,

otherwise my load of firewood would be scattered.

Sir, it's my fault for bumping into you.

Little fellow, you're quite strong.

You flatter me.

Be careful.

The ground isn't even. You're not used to it.

I'll take it myself.

I have something to do. I'll take my leave.

Hey, excuse me!

Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu, my firewood is almost burnt out.

- Burnt out? - Yeah. You must bring some tomorrow.

You--

Do I look like this Uncle Yu?

Yeah, you do look like Uncle Yu.

But it's also because of my dim eyes that I made a mistake.

Sorry.

No problem!

Brother, where does Uncle Yu live?

You want to buy firewood, too?

Yes, yes.

He lives under the mountain.

If you walk down the hill from here, you'll find a bridge.

Cross the bridge and you'll see a big forest.

Then follow the path through the forest and continue straight down.

You'll see a big sepulchre; go past it,

- and you will see an isolated house. - Crazy.

- That's it. Goodbye. - Thanks.

BLESSING

Snake halberd.

BLESSING

The 18 Weapons of Martial Arts.

The 18 Weapons of Martial Arts?

How would I know?

You don't?

Then why do you have those weapons in your home?

Have you been to my home?

Not only me. Others have also been there.

To do what in my home?

Kill you.

Kill me?

You're really funny.

- You're very agile. - I--

They can't kill you.

I have no grievances with others, why on earth would anyone want to kill me?

Because you're Lui Gung.

- I'm Lui Gung? - Yes.

A few years ago, your kung fu made you the master of the auxiliary troops

- of the Boxers in Yunnan. - How can there be such a thing?

Later, Li Lin-Ying wanted you to train the Boxer troops

to achieve the sorcery of invulnerability,

so that the Empress Dowager could save large military expenses

in buying firearms.

Kid, don't talk nonsense. Do you want to be decapitated?

You know how powerful these foreign guns are.

Even if one's strong and tough as copper and iron, it can't resist.

You couldn't bear to sacrifice your own innocent students,

hence you disbanded the troops.

- I don't know what you're on about! - Hey!

Li Lin-Ying knows you're hiding here in Canton;

he's sent someone to kill you.

Is that true?

Like you, I object to Li Lin-Ying's inhumane behaviour.

Kid, I'm not Lui Gung.

They're coming to kill you tonight.

It's you?

Watch my dart!

Hey, be careful!

These hidden weapons are dangerous.

The Sorcerers is the Boxers' assassination troop.

You can see he's this ill and still wants to kill you, Lui Gung.

I'm not Lui Gung.

How come he--

I'll leave whilst he's in a coma.

Spiritual boxers, Maoshan Taoists, and sorcerers...

If they want to kill a traitor, they'll find him no matter what.

You should know that.

You insist that I'm Lui Gung?

You're the one who disbanded the Boxers in Yunnan, Lui Gung.

That was something in the past.

- But I'm-- - Living incognito,

putting to waste your previous efforts.

I didn't waste my efforts.

Kid,

after I disbanded the Boxers branch in Yunnan,

they all live and work in peace and contentment.

They're all like me.

Spending the rest of your life chopping wood for a living.

Do you know how many young people like him were possessed by the Boxers,

believing that they were invulnerable to weapons?

Only you know of its deceit.

So we need you to get rid of this superstition.

I've been in hiding for so long,

- everything is degraded. - No, you've got real kung fu.

With me and this young man, isn't that sufficient power?

- He'll kill me. - You can enlighten him.

Let him drink it.

Big Brother, it's been a long time.

Lui Yung, it's you?

Yes.

Haven't seen you in years.

I hadn't expected your spiritual boxing to have regressed so fast.

I've left the Boxers.

Spiritual boxing is no longer of any use to me.

It's because you refused to use spiritual boxing

to further the Boxers' power.

Look at you now.

You used to be the master of the auxiliary troop.

Admired by thousands of people; radiant.

Who'd have thought you'd betray the Boxers?

I couldn't bear to see my own students fighting foreigners' firearms barehanded.

It's because you knew too much about spiritual boxing.

- That was why Li Lin-Ying, Chief Li-- - Wanted to kill me.

Even you?

Yes. Our Maoshan circle has received the decree to kill you.

Then why don't you?

Big Brother... stop.

Although I took the decree, you're my brother really.

How can I bear to do it?

You've regressed in spiritual boxing,

but the foundation of your martial arts is still there.

So what do you want?

Before any of the others find you,

you'd better refresh your martial arts.

Uncle Yu, he's right.

Yung, how will you report to the Maoshan circle?

Big Brother, I know what to do.

You...

Uncle Yu,

I never expected Maoshan followers to have such a deep brotherhood.

Enough talking. Go prepare the medicine, quick.

Lui Gung.

You should take your medication.

Yes.

Young man, you're so ill, you shouldn't be out here.

Uncle Yu, you...

Don't catch a cold again. Let's help him in.

Uncle Yu, you live here?

Yeah, I live here.

- What about Lui Gung? - He--

- 'He' what? - Nothing.

You look very much like Lui Gung.

No wonder you're mistaken.

- Young man, what's your name? - My name is Tit Hau.

I'm Fong Siu-Hing.

That's enough chat. Let's go in.

Uncle Yu, try harder. Your hands won't tremble as much.

Uncle Yu.

Catch it!

Siu-Hing.

- Well? - Uncle Yu, you can do it.

Keep practising!

Uncle Yu, superb. Keep practising!

Tit Hau, why did you get up again?

You haven't recovered from your illness. You can't run around.

You'll catch a cold easily again.

Yeah, Tit Hau. Go and take some rest.

The 18 Weapons of Martial Arts?

They're all here. I'll show you.

Who the hell are you?

- I'm-- - The one who cured and saved you.

I know that. I'm asking him why he has the 18 weapons in his possession

and knows how to use them!

What's it to you if he knows how to use the 18 weapons?

Because the decree I received

is to kill everyone who knows the 18 weapons.

So you're going to kill me?

Uncle Yu, she's a girl!

Correct. I am a girl.

Why pretend to be a man?

I came far from Peking to find someone in Canton.

It's not very convenient for girls.

Such a great disguise!

Yeah.

Uncle Yu, you're a woodcutter.

Why do you know the 18 weapons?

I taught him.

So you know the 18 types of weapons?

Tit Hau, you even want to kill a girl?

I'm the same as you, seeking Lui Gung.

Right. Because so many people are looking for Lui Gung,

and that I look like him,

I don't want to be defenceless and get killed.

Hence I wanted to learn a little kung fu so I can defend myself.

Uncle Yu, don't be afraid, I'll help you.

You're really willing to help Uncle Yu?

Yes.

The medicine pot's broken.

That pot had medicine.

So careless! Go and boil it down again.

Let me do it.

LOYAL, KIND, AND COURAGEOUS

- Tit Hau. - Uncle Yu, have you finished practising?

Yeah.

- Where's Fong Siu-Hing? - I haven't seen her all day.

She wasn't practising with me.

Tit Hau, where are you going?

Uncle Yu, I've been here for so long, and no one has bothered you.

I don't think anything's going on.

Uncle Yu, thank you very much for taking care of me

and curing my illness.

Now that I've regained my strength,

I want to go and thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Lui Gung.

- You'll find him in the end. - Yes.

Uncle Yu, take care.

Tit Hau.

Where are you going?

You--

It's Fong Siu-Hing.

You're Fong Siu-Hing?

Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu, Siu-Hing... she looks different!

- Bald. - No.

She has two braids.

- Yellow robe? - No.

She's wearing a beautiful floral suit.

Strong body shape, steady footwork.

Neither.

She's still graceful.

Who are you?

There, isn't it her?

Uncle.

Fong Siu-Hing, you're here in Canton as well?

Yes, Uncle.

I very much agree with Lui Gung's disbanding of the Boxers.

So I will help him.

- You want to revolt as well? - That's right.

All of the spiritual boxing we learnt uses real kung fu as a smokescreen.

How can you resist foreign guns?

- What are you doing? - What are you saying?

It's you!

Lui Gung, prepare to be executed.

Master, you've got the wrong person. He isn't Lui Gung.

The Sorcerers is the Boxers' assassination troop.

It's shameful that even a man who cuts firewood as a cover

- managed to deceive you! - You practise spiritual boxing.

You and Lui Gung are from the circle, but Uncle Yu doesn't know anything.

How can you take him as Lui Gung?

You took the decree of the circle to kill Lui Gung, why didn't you?

Let me tell you, he and Lui Gung look very much alike.

However, he is certainly not Lui Gung. Besides, he saved my life.

Lui Gung, you're too cunning!

Uncle, revoke your decree, disband the Boxers with us.

- Uncle Yu, what makes her say that? - She--

Uncle Yu, don't worry. If she isn't enough, there's me.

- What if you're not enough? - How can a sorcerer lose to a boxer?

- Uncle Yu, go away. - Let me.

- You can't fight him! - My turn.

- I haven't lost yet. - You've used up all your sorcery weapons.

Fight? Your hands are trembling!

Uncle Yu, use your force and you'll stop trembling. Attack him!

Uncle Yu!

Teach some kung fu and lead him to his death?

Uncle Yu, good fight!

- You taught him? - Fight again!

Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu, don't run away, there's me!

Uncle Yu!

- No! - Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu, are you all right?

His Iron Head kung fu is quite perfect.

Yours, too! You lost because of stupid Tit Hau.

Be careful!

Uncle Yu, your skill is still there!

Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu, you won't lose.

- Don't move. - Uncle Yu, bring out your former glory.

Step back!

- Uncle Yu, your kung fu-- - Step aside!

Your Iron Head kung fu's not strong enough to resist my finger thrust.

How can you resist the foreigners' guns?

Good kung fu.

Siu-Hing, Uncle Yu's kung fu wasn't taught by you.

- He is-- - Lui Gung.

Grab him!

Spiritual boxing, Maoshan, and sorcery will make use

of all kinds of supernatural powers and various smokescreens.

It's not proper martial arts!

No! This is our Boxers' main amulet.

No! This is for attracting followers to the Boxers.

- But we're invulnerable to weapons! - But not foreign guns!

We can practise our sorcery to overcome guns!

Do you know how many students were sacrificed in vain?

Traitor!

I'm not a traitor!

I love my students. You're stubborn!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Tit Hau.

Uncle!

Uncle, go back and disband your Boxers.

He's deaf, can't hear anything.

I already understand what you've both said.

Uncle!

I'll go back to Shaolin Temple and face the wall.

Uncle.

No need.

Those who'll kill you are coming soon.

- Uncle Yu, he-- - Don't worry.

With his foundation in martial arts, he'll make it back to Shaolin Temple.

What about Tit Hau?

Let him calm down.

He'll come tonight for sure.

Uncle Yu.

Tit Hau, why are you still messing about with these things? Won't you come out?

Tit Hau, you...!

Uncle Yu, Tit Hau has brought a lot of people here.

No. The Sorcery circle often sets up this camouflage.

It's the assassin's mace.

- And Tit Hau? - He's inside.

Tit Hau, Lui Gung disbanded the Boxers

because he didn't want to sacrifice so many students.

Besides, he also saved--

Uncle Yu!

Uncle Yu!

ROPE DART

Be careful.

Sorcery follower, you appeared so suddenly.

There's nothing special about the camouflage you've set up.

Show yourself!

Lui Gung, you're worthy of leading the Boxers.

It's a pity you're a traitor.

If a betrayal is meaningful, it's not to be feared.

- You can be like me. - Why should I be like you?

Your student was rational.

Lui Gung.

I hadn't expected my student, Tit Hau to have been subdued by you.

Not subdue! However, I didn't want to hurt that kid.

DOUBLE TIGER HOOK SWORDS

DOUBLE HAMMERS

Master?

You...

- Master! - Traitor!

- Tit Hau! - Master!

Tit Hau!

Tit Hau!

Why are you doing that?! Kill me if you can.

Follow the decree!

- Tit Hau. - You're here to kill me, not him.

This is a matter for our Sorcerer circle. Both of you are going to die!

BATTLE AXE

Master!

That's it, Tit Hau. Attack him!

Make a move!

SNAKE HALBERD

Don't change again, Master Tit.

Master.

Master Tit, thanks for sparing my life.

Lui Gung, I admire your martial arts training.

- We'll meet again. - Master!

Tit Hau, it's better that you stay here.

Uncle Yu.

Uncle Yu, will he come back to kill you?

If he really does come back to kill me, perhaps I'll already be dead by then.

Uncle Yu, get some medication for Tit Hau.

Uncle Yu, are you getting ready to go?

Are you afraid my master will try to kill you again?

No, there's someone waiting for me.

- So you have an appointment. - No wonder you're dressed up beautifully.

This set is my gown.

- Are you going to set up an altar? - No, I'm going to look for my brother.

Good. Then Uncle Yu and your brother can join forces to disband the Boxers.

Yes.

This time when I go to see Lui Yung, I can't tell who's going to die.

Why?

Because everyone from Maoshan Circle is heartless.

No! He even said to refresh your skill to deal with people wanting to kill you.

It's a scheme of his. Neither of you understands.

- Then Lui Yung-- - He's set up an altar, awaits me.

- Where? - Shing Wong Temple.

We'll go with you.

All right. It'll be a battle between my brother and me.

- Neither of you interfere. - Yes.

Siu-Hing, bring me the razor.

What do you want a razor for?

In accordance with Lui family rules,

cut off beard and hair before severing family relations.

Lui Gung, you're here.

I hadn't expected you to regain spiritual boxing so fast.

Uncle Yu, ignore him. A Maoshan message. Let's find him.

Tit Hau!

Siu-Hing. I haven't tried this trick for a long time.

- Yeah! - Lui Yung.

- Uncle Yu, he shaved as well! - Hey!

Lui Gung, I set up this Maoshan altar. Do you know what this means?

Of course I know. Why else would I have purified myself?

I put on the gown again to see my brother.

Learning Maoshan made us break up with our family.

You not only lost relations, but also had the foresight.

To strengthen the Maoshan circle's leadership in the Boxers,

you used Li Lin-Ying's decree

as an opportunity to do his dirty work and hunt me down.

Correct.

After you disbanded the Boxers in Yunnan,

why didn't Li Lin-Ying hunt you down right away?

Because he feared that your martial arts and spiritual boxing was too good.

Hence waiting years for me to have ceased spiritual boxing,

so that my martial arts would naturally regress.

- You then came to kill me. - Yes.

But I know that your martial arts are still good.

As long as you re-trained--

Spiritual boxers and sorcerers... who'd be your match?

And I can avoid direct conflict with them.

You...!

If you kill me, you'll be highly rewarded by Li Lin-Ying.

The Maoshan circle can lead the Boxers from then on.

Can you kill me?

If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have set up the altar and waited for you!

All right, show your skills.

Throwing a tantrum! Let me tell you. You've been beaten to pieces by Uncle Yu.

If you're not focussed,

you can't possess me with your Maoshan sorcery.

Lui Yung, you'd better show your real kung fu.

Both of you step aside.

Try to kill me again.

You're so slow. How can you kill me?

Finished already? Get up and fight again.

Let him save some strength to seek reward from Li Lin-Ying.

Say that you've killed Lui Gung.

Then he'll get the reward?

Let's go.

Brother!

Brother!
