FLYING DAGGER LI

NONE THROWN IN VAIN

Young Master, we were doing well
outside the Pass.

Why did we come back?
It's been ten years.

Could it be that you still can't forget her?

No. I came back because I heard
that the Plum Blossom Bandit

appeared in the Pass again recently.

Yes. But what does that have
to do with us?

The Plum Blossom Bandit
was a villainous martial arts expert

who dominated 20 years ago.

He had amazing martial arts skills,
and injured many people.

I wanted to find him ten years ago,
but he suddenly disappeared.

This time, I'm afraid
he's returned in search of me.

But if you know he's looking for you,
why are you going back?

If he wants to find me,
he'll go to my former home.

Oh...
Are you afraid he'll harm Miss Lin?

Young Master,
if you love her that much,

why let her be with Long Xiao-yun?

I know he saved your life,
but I've never seen anyone

who gives his fiancée and all his assets
away just to repay a favor!

That was ten years ago.

I'd almost forgotten about that.

Why did you mention it again?

Hey, aren't you cold?
Do you want a sip of wine?

DEREK YEE

Hey, are you deaf?

So, you're not deaf.
Have a sip of wine, then.

- I can't afford it.
- It's my treat. No need to pay.

I don't accept things I can't pay for,

and I don't drink anything
I can't pay for.

Is that clear?

- I heard you.
- Go, then.

Very well, I'll go.

But when the time comes that you can
afford wine, will you buy me a drink?

- Sure. My treat.
- Good.

RENHE INN

Here, come in, come in!

This way, this way.

Come on, sit here.

Young Master, here's your sorghum wine.

Young Master, men from the Jinshi
Security Escort are also staying here.

They must be back
from beyond the Pass.

Hey, remember encountering
the Four Taihang Tigers on Mount Taihang?

Of course. How dare the Four Taihang
Tigers touch the Boss's goods that day!

Do they think their blades are quicker
than the Boss's sword?

LEE SAU-KEE

Are you Swift Wind Sword,
Zhuge Lei?

Forgive me for not recognizing you,
but who are you?

You think you're qualified
to request our names?

If you leave the goods you brought
from beyond the Pass, we'll spare your life.

Leave your swords,
and we'll spare your lives.

KEUNG HON

Are you two
the Black and White Snakes?

You recognize us,
so at least you're not blind.

Since you want this,
you can have it if you want.

So we have a martial arts expert here.
We almost missed you.

Are you after this package, too?

If your sword proves swifter than ours,

not only will we give this to you,
but we'll offer you our heads, too.

And how much
would your heads be worth?

Were you the one
who spoke just now?

Yes.

It's a shame that my head is priceless.

That's too expensive.
I only want 50 taels.

Very well. If you can kill me,
I'll give you 50 taels.

Where are my 50 taels?

You can have it.
You can take it all.

FLYING DAGGER LI

NONE THROWN IN VAIN

So it's you...

I now have money.
I'll buy you some wine.

Fine.

- Waiter!
- Coming!

I'm picky about where I drink
and who I drink with.

I hate drinking in crowded places.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Based on your looks,
you could be a very famous person.

Being famous is definitely
not a good thing.

- My name is Li Xunhuan. And you?
- My name is Ah-Fei.

- Ah-Fei?
- That's right.

I have no parents.
I grew up in the wilderness.

I envy the birds flying freely in the sky,
so I named myself Ah-Fei meaning "flight".

What a strange name.
Drink up.

I heard you shouldn't drink
if you have a cough.

Yes. I shouldn't.

Why are you drinking, then?

Have you faced many unfortunate events
in your past?

Have I asked you any questions
you don't want to answer?

No.

- Why did you ask me, then?
- Fine. |won't ask.

But you'll have to wait
to ask me anything,

because I think we have company.

Right. There's a man in the tree
on my left.

And four men in the old temple.

And one behind that tree.

"Flying Dagger Li.
None thrown in vain"?

What a joke.

Hand over the package,
and we'll leave at once.

The package stays with me.

Right, I'm leaving.
One more toast.

After him!

Wait here for me.

SHEN LAO
Who are you?

Li Xunhuan.

- Ah, you're finally here.
- You were expecting me?

A man called Ah-Fei
killed a lot of people.

But he left one alive,
and told me to wait for you.

- Where is he?
- Here.

- Why are you here?
- This is the only place around.

After getting the package,
I had to stay here for the night.

But who knew I'd bump
into your young friend?

Sir, have some tea.

Thank you.

Sir, what's the matter?

- I'm not used to drinking tea.
- Have some wine, then.

- Do you have any?
- Yes, sir. I'll fetch some.

Hey, Master Li,
I'll give you the package.

Then, will you release me?

What exactly is in this package?

You really don't know?

The Plum Blossom Bandit
has reappeared.

And this package contains a unique treasure,
the impenetrable Golden Silk Armor.

- No wonder.
- Sir, here's your wine.

Thank you.

Master Li, will you release me?
I'll give you everything in the package.

I have a grandmother
and three young children to care for...

Seems I'm not the only one
who wants this package.

Are you here for the package, too?

Before you drank the tea,
I didn't dare say anything.

But now you've drunk the tea
that I poisoned,

I just need to sit here for two hours,
and watch you die.

I didn't know!
I have nothing to do with this!

Who are you?

CHING Ll
I should let you see who killed you.

What a beautiful woman.

I'll be more careful
if we meet again.

If we meet again?

Of course.

You knew the tea was poisoned,

but you're not aware that I spat it out
when I coughed earlier.

Get him!

Your flying dagger technique
is incredible.

You shouldn't have fought them.

After using your true qi,
the poison activates more quickly.

That woman forced me to poison the tea.

But the poison in the wine
was all my doing.

- There was poison in the wine?
- Did you not taste it?

You are...

I'm the most despicable
and shameless one

among those called the Seven Marvels
of the martial arts world, Hua Feng.

- So, it's you...
- I'm different now, though.

Now, I'm the richest man
in the martial arts world,

because I own the Golden Silk Armor.

You, you...

As the saying goes, "While two dogs fight
for a bone, the third runs away with it."

You...

Young Master! Young Master!

- Chuan-jia...
- Young Master!

- Chuan-jia!
- Young Master!

Help me up to chase after Hua Feng.

There he is.

He's dead.

- Maybe he has the antidote on him.
- Be careful.

He might have other poisons on him.
Don't cut yourself.

I understand.

It's not on him.
There's nothing here.

I knew it.
I wouldn't be that lucky.

Tasty wine! Tasty wine!

WANG SHA
This is a fine jar of wine!

You drunkard!
Let's see how far you get!

You took our money, but got drunk
instead of treating the patient!

What's the meaning of this?

Don't you know, I have a certain rule
when treating a patient?

What rule?

Listen, I never treat a patient
when I'm drinking.

Damn you!
If you don't treat him, I'll kill you!

You'll kill me?
Then I won't be able to treat him at all.

Let's discuss this.
Why kill him?

Why are you interfering
in my business?

How dare you strike me!
You won't get away with this!

You won't be able to escape!
Stay right there!

This world is full of madness!

He who's running away so fast is telling
others who aren't running away not to run!

Do you know who I am now?

- Forgive me, I haven't inquired yet.
- Oh?

- So, you didn't save me to treat you?
- Why would we ask you to treat us?

Your master was poisoned
with the Hanji Powder I concocted.

Aside from me,
no one can heal him.

Someone stole the Hanji Powder
a year ago.

I didn't expect that
you'd be poisoned by it.

Come on,
drink all your sorrows away.

Being drunk is better
than being a duke!

Let's have a drink first.

Doctor Mei, you said you'd heal him.
Why are you drinking?

Life and death are trivial matters.

Why put off drinking for such trivialities?

Besides, if you don't drink with me,
I shall refuse to heal you.

- Young Master...
- Come on, come on.

You know he has only four hours to live,
but you won't give him the antidote.

- You want to heal him after he dies?
- Ah?

If I tell you that I've already
given him the antidote,

will you still call me Doctor Mei?

I've already healed him!

The poison was in the wine.
The antidote is in the wine, too.

Thank you, Doctor Mei!

Hey, what do you want?
What are you doing?

Why are you back again?

Al FEI
I'm Tian Qi.

My two friends offended him earlier.
I came here to apologize.

I like that!

However, a man has been injured
by the Plum Blossom Bandit's palm.

- I hope you can treat him at once.
- Is he seriously injured or what?

Fortunately, he only grazed
his shoulder.

Ah, since it's not a serious injury,
why do I have to go?

Just take him the medicine.
Where is he?

At the Xingyun Villa.

- Who is he?
- Long Xiao-yun.

ELLIOT NGOK

- Xunhuan?
- That's right, it's me.

Xunhuan, are you really back?

I have brought
Doctor Mei's medicine for you.

The Plum Blossom Bandit
has reappeared.

That's right.
He's in Baoding City now.

And he's injured a lot of people.

- Where did he make his move?
- At the Lengxiang Cabin.

In the plum forest behind our backyard.

Why is it always
at the Lengxiang Cabin?

Because Lin Xian-er lives
in the Lengxiang Cabin.

Who is Lin Xian-er?

She's acknowledged by everyone

as the most beautiful woman
in the martial arts world.

Countless men in the martial arts world
have fallen for her.

However, what does Miss Lin
have to do with you?

Why does she live
in Lengxiang Cabin?

You don't know?

I heard that Miss Lin's father was killed
by the Plum Blossom Bandit.

That's why she announced

that she'll marry whoever can kill
the Plum Blossom Bandit

whether he's poor, rich, old, or young.

And today, she has chosen to meet
with heroes of the martial arts world.

That's why she resides
in the Lengxiang Cabin these days.

Master Long.

Master Gongsun and dozens
of martial arts heroes are outside.

Look, if she wasn't the most
beautiful woman in the world,

so many distinguished guests
would never come

even if we held banquets here daily.

Now, go and clean
the east Wing's guest room.

Yes, sir.

You must be very tired
after traveling for so many days.

Take some rest in the guest room.
I'll introduce you to everyone later.

It's red plum blossom season again.

I wonder how the plum blossoms are
above the Rain Pavilion.

EAST GARDEN

"Plum blossom petals fall like snow,

"so heavy that they cannot
be swept away."

I've been gone for ten years.

I wonder if the plum blossoms
have changed.

CANDICE YU

You're back.

It's been ten years.
Do you still drink like before?

Ten years is very long.

And very lonely.

It's harder to live each day
if I don't drink.

Did it ever occur to you
who told you to do this?

It was me.

Why?

Because I owe him my life.

To repay his favor,
you acted crazy,

drank like there was no tomorrow,

flirted with women,
and lived in debauchery.

That's right.

I wanted you to give up on me
and marry Long Xiao-yun.

But by doing that,
do you think I would be happy?

After you left...

...| found out the truth.

I thought of committing suicide.

But then,
I thought about living on.

Because if I stayed alive...
I would meet you again.

It's a shame that things
are different now.

The past is gone.

Those days are over...

My sister-in-law...

- Where's Master Li?
- He's here.

Master Li, heroes from all over
have gathered.

Master Long is asking you to go
to Lengxiang Cabin at once.

This way.

Come, let me introduce you.

This is my god brother, Li Xunhuan.
Wudang's senior, Li Ning.

- Nice to meet you.
- Vajra Hands, Deng Lie.

Huashan's Golden Palm,
Wang Chen.

- Iron Sword, Tian Qi.
- Pleasure to meet you.

This is Master Gongsun,
who's famous in Tiannan.

Nice to meet you.

You were famous
in the martial arts world a decade ago.

- And today, I finally get to meet you.
- You're too kind.

That's the young master
of Cangjian Villa, You Longsheng.

YUEN WAH
He's proud and aloof.

And his swordsmanship skills
are profound.

But he's devoted to the most beautiful
woman in the world, Lin Xian-er.

I believe he's the one who wants
to kill the Plum Blossom Bandit the most.

Master Zhao has arrived!

KU FENG

- Master Zhao.
- Please forgive me for being late.

- It's fine.
- It's alright.

Master Zhao, why did you bring
so much gold?

As the ancients say,
"Everyone should desire to kill traitors."

I detest the bad apples
in the martial arts world.

Aside from coming here to eliminate evil
for the sake of the people,

I have also brought 100,000 gold taels
for whoever kills the Plum Blossom Bandit.

By the way, where's Miss Lin?

- Miss Lin.
- Miss Lin.

Please be seated.

My father's been killed,
and I want to take revenge,

so I have borrowed Master Long's home
to talk to all of you personally.

Anyone who can kill
the Plum Blossom Bandit,

I, Lin Xian-er, will promise to marry him
whether he's poor, rich, old, or young.

GU WEN-ZHONG

Miss Li,
you're sacrificing yourself

to eliminate evil
for the sake of the people.

- I, Zhao Zhengyi, admire you.
- You're too kind, Master Zhao.

Who is this?

He's the god brother I mentioned,
Li Xunhuan.

No wonder his flying dagger technique
is so incredible.

You've met?

Not only have I met him,
I've offended him, too.

May I speak to Master Li
in private?

Of course.

Now, you finally know why I need
that Golden Silk Armor so much.

As protection against
the Plum Blossom Bandit.

- Right.
- Is that all?

If you wish to know more,
come here at midnight.

I'll tell you everything in detail.

Two people died in here once.

One was the twin brother of Iron Flute.

The other was Zhao Zhengyi's only son.

- They both died at midnight.
- Why midnight?

Legend has it that the Plum Blossom
Bandit always appears at midnight.

Where is he?

Are you the master of Cangjian Villa,
You Longsheng?

That's right.

- Why do you want to kill me?
- Because someone ordered me.

- Come on!
- Inside!

- Over there!
- Inside! Take a look!

- Master You...
- Someone's there!

- What's going on?
- Who told you to come here?

- Miss Lin did.
- Nonsense!

Miss Lin already left at dusk.
I personally saw her off.

That's impossible.
I talked to her here earlier.

Besides, why would I come here
if she hadn't invited me?

- Huh! You came here to kill.
- Kill?

That's right.

"At midnight, the Plum Blossom Bandit
will appear at Lengxiang Cabin."

At midnight, Master You died
by your hand.

Get him!

You're mistaken.
I've been tricked, just like you.

- Let's go outside and discuss this.
- Why would I speak with you?

It seems like you all
intend to kill me tonight.

Don't come near me!

That was only a warning.

Next time,
I'll aim at your throats.

Zhao Zhengyi.

Didn't you say you wanted to eliminate
evil in the martial arts world?

Then, why aren't you acting?

Right,

you want Masters Tian Qi and Gongsun
to make their moves first?

Xunhuan! Xunhuan!

How strange.

All of you can't wait to kill me,
but you won't make a move. Why?

You're all mistaken. How can my god brother
be the Plum Blossom Bandit?

- Xunhuan, don't be impulsive.
- Xiao-yun!

Master Zhao!

Don't kill him!

What are you doing?
Please stop, everyone!

Spare him.

No matter how grave his crime,
I am willing to take responsibility.

- Master Long.
- We can't spare the Plum Blossom Bandit!

Xunhuan, why won't you tell them
you're not the Plum Blossom Bandit?

They've finally caught someone.
How could I dampen their enthusiasm?

Chuan-jia!

- Young Master, let's go!
- Chuan-jia!

- Let's go.
- Xunhuan!

Remember the day we met,

the Righteous Eight accused you
of killing their leader, Weng Tian-jie,

and I also wanted you to leave?

- Back then, what did you say?
- I told you I didn't kill anyone.

I said I wasn't leaving until we got
to the bottom of the matter.

Then, why do you want me
to leave now?

You don't believe
I'm the Plum Blossom Bandit, right?

They shouldn't harm you,
until they've sorted out this matter.

What do we need to investigate?
There's no mistake.

- He's the Plum Blossom Bandit!
- Silence!

Ah-Fei?

- Who are you? What do you want?
- Who are you?

- What do you want?
- I want to teach you a lesson!

My friend...

Nice stance you have.

Many heroes are such youngsters.

I'm the strict and impartial Zhao Zhengyi.

Tell me what your name is.
Can we be friends?

I don't have a name.
I don't want to be your friend either.

Your package.

- So, you killed Hua Feng?
- That's right.

I saw him holding the package,
and knew he was not a good man.

When I went back to find you,
you were gone.

Later, I found out that you were here.

- What exactly is going on?
- They think I'm the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Nonsense!
Come on, let's have a drink.

Wait!

My friend, we just want
the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Why do you want to interfere?

Who says he's the Plum Blossom Bandit?

I say he is!

- Shiyin...
- What's going on?

I don't know.

Now, tell everyone that
you're the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Are you mad? How can I be
the Plum Blossom Bandit?

This is the last time I'll ask you.

I won't repeat the question.
Are you the Plum Blossom Bandit?

Yes.
I am the Plum Blossom Bandit.

You heard him, everyone.

If what he says counts,
he is the Plum Blossom Bandit.

My friend, this is unreasonable.

This is how things work
in the martial arts world.

Reason is on the side
of the one with the swifter sword!

So... who else wants to have a go?

- Let's go.
- Wait.

How do you know that I'm not
the Plum Blossom Bandit?

I grew up in the wilderness,
so I'm like a beast.

I have an instinct that
can tell good from evil.

If I leave now,

won't these people insist even more
that I am the Plum Blossom Bandit?

Xunhuan is right.

We must get to the bottom of this
before he departs.

Master Long is right.

Very well, then.
You can find me in the old temple.

- Come if you need me.
- Alright.

Hey, Ah-Fei.

I have no need of the Golden Silk Armor.
You take it.

Understood. Farewell.

So you came for the package.

The Plum Blossom Bandit?

You've been hit by my plum blossom needle.
How can you still move?

Master Li realized that someone
would steal the Golden Silk Armor.

So, before I left,
he told me that I must wear it.

Incredible moves.

- Why are you here?
- I brought your things.

- You must go.
- Why should I go?

Can't you understand
that they want you dead?

I've long thought it strange.

Once I entered the Pass,

it felt like a conspiracy
was waiting for me.

The Golden Silk Armor...
Lin Xian-er...

And people insisting that
I was the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Who is trying to frame me?

If you know someone wants to harm you,
why won't you leave?

Have you ever watched a spider
spinning a web?

I have.

People in this world are
actually very like spiders.

Everyone is spinning a web.

Only they find themselves spun
in their own web once they're done.

Everything we've done in the past,

for affection, for love,

for a friend, for ourselves...

...it's all like the webs spun around us.

And we get stuck in the web,

with no way to escape.

Some call this web destiny.

Xunhuan...

- Why did you come back?
- Destiny.

Xunhuan? Xunhuan?

Shiyin? Why are you here?

She came to visit me.

Even though I treated
your acupuncture points that day,

I was still afraid you'd get injured,
so I prepared some medicine for you.

Thank you, Nae-yum.

By the way, Xiao-yun, you know
Xunhuan isn't the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Why didn't you clear this matter up
with them?

Don't worry,
we'll clear everything up soon.

They've already informed
Master Xinhu of the Shaolin Temple.

They will send someone quickly.

The Shaolin Temple
has always upheld justice.

They won't allow good people
to be framed.

- Master Long! Master Long!
- What is it?

Master Zhao says he has important matters
to discuss with you in the main hall.

What is this about, everyone?

Someone informed us that Master Xinmei
from the Shaolin Temple is arriving soon.

Oh? I'm glad he's coming.

But the bad news is that I found out
that Iron Flute is already on his way.

He's known for his retaliatory attitude.

Once he makes a move, we can't stop him
even if we all work together.

If he arrives before Master Xinmei
and kills Master Li,

how can we explain that
to the Shaolin Temple?

Also, Master Li's friend
is not to be underestimated.

- We must guard against him.
- Don't worry about him.

I have a way to deal with him.

What? ls your young master
in danger now?

I heard that someone wants
to kill him tonight,

and that man has
great martial arts skills.

- Where is he now?
- He's stuck in the woodshed.

Master Li!

The so-called righteous heroes
of the martial arts world ambush people?

I told you.
Don't interfere in this matter.

Get him!

Don't go after him.
He can't escape.

NORMAN TSUI

Iron Flute...
Are you injured?

- Have you been ambushed?
- You knew that already. Why ask?

I don't like harming people on the sly.

Well, if they don't make a move
on the sly, no one can harm me.

You're an arrogant fellow.

I didn't want to make a move,
as you're already injured.

But you're far too arrogant.
I must teach you a lesson.

You're injured, so I won't retaliate
for three moves.

Why are you walking away?

Because I don't want you to die here.

And why would I die?

Because no one can afford
to give me three moves.

Then, why don't you try?

Three moves?
No one could survive even one move.

I said I wouldn't retaliate for three moves,
and you've had one move.

You have two more moves.

Two... three.

Alright. That's three moves.

You are skilled indeed.

If I hadn't made a move on the sly,
it would've been hard to strike you.

I have learned something today.

I can't offer three moves
before I fight back.

And you should also learn one thing.

If you make a move,

you must make sure your opponent
falls to the ground.

- Iron Flute, did you meet that young man?
- I did.

And did you kill him?

No.

Because I came to kill Master Li.

Xunhuan...

How strange.

Why did they allow me out of the woodshed
and to come and drink here?

I heard that Master Xinmei
is arriving tonight.

You're going to the Shaolin Temple
tomorrow.

He's not going to the Shaolin Temple!

And why is that?

Because tonight, I'm going to kill him!

Iron Flute!

Why don't you ask me
why I want to kill you?

Asking you that
would only make me angry.

You wouldn't believe me if I explained,
so why waste my energy?

Whatever you say,
I shall kill you!

Iron Flute!

No wonder my brother died
by your hand.

- You are highly skilled indeed.
- Huh?

I killed your brother?

You'd better tell me
what your brother looked like,

so I can greet him after I die.

Nonsense!

YANG CHI-CHING
Lord Buddha be praised.

Master Xinmei.

Iron Flute, why are you
in such a hurry to kill Master Li?

I must avenge my brother!

I've heard that you're known
for your retaliatory attitude,

and that you never do anyone
any favors.

For my sake, I wonder
if you'd send Master Li

to the Shaolin Temple first
for an investigation into the matter?

Our sect leader does not believe
that Master Li is the Plum Blossom Bandit.

Very well.

With you present,
it'll be difficult for me to kill him.

However, if you find out that
he is the Plum Blossom Bandit,

you must allow me to kill him.

Blessings of the Buddha be upon you.

What is this place?

This is the guest room in my house.

- Did you save me?
- You fainted outside my home.

Where are my clothes?

I had to change your clothes
to dress your wounds.

- I feel so dizzy.
- Rest here for a while.

Zhao Long, what's the matter?

My boss said Master Li is to go
to the Shaolin Temple tomorrow.

Give the Golden Silk Armor
to your boss at once.

Tell him that Ah-Fei is injured
and resting here with me.

- I'll treat him with medicine.
- Yes.

Inform the Five-Poison Master
at Paradise Cave in the western region.

Tell him that Li Xunhuan
is setting off tomorrow,

and they should make their move
along the route.

One hundred thousand taels of gold
and five pearls will be sent to him at once.

Yes!

Li Xunhuan...
I want you dead.

Xunhuan, you must take good care
of yourself on the way there.

- Don't drink too much.
- I know.

Why didn't you attack his acupuncture points
and chain him up?

- Right.
- That's not necessary.

Aren't you afraid that he'll escape?

If Master Li intended to escape,
he would have already.

Chuan-jia...

Why are you here?

I heard you were setting off
for the Shaolin Temple today.

I came to serve you.

It's a long journey.
It will be very arduous.

I've been with you
for over 20 years.

When have I ever complained
that it's arduous?

Buddha's blessings upon you.

What a loyal fellow you are.

- Master Li, may we leave now?
- Yes.

- Hurry.
- Be quick.

- Waiter, over here.
- Hurry up.

- Don't neglect your customers!
- Coming!

- Coming, coming!
- Entertain the customers!

They don't have sorghum, which you like,
only the local wine.

Anything will do.

Stop right there!

- What is it?
- There's poison in the food.

How can you tell?

Look.

Did you poison them?
Tell me!

Idiot. If he'd done it,
he would have been long gone.

- Would he really have stayed to watch?
- Right.

I know nothing about this.
My brother cooked it.

That's my brother there!

Master, what's going on?

How strange.
Who poisoned the food?

Look.

The Five-Poison Master

- from Paradise Cave?
- That's right.

You have many friends, but even
more enemies that want to kill you.

I heard that the Five-Poison Master
has 365 ways of poisoning people.

If he intends to kill someone,
then they will surely die.

That's right.
Unless you never eat!

- Master Xinmei, let's rest here.
- Fine.

- We'll rest here.
- Alright.

Master Li, you must rest a while, too.

- Master Tian, you must be hungry.
- Indeed I am.

We've had nothing to eat or drink
for three days.

My friend,
I'll give you ten taels of silver,

if you sell me these steamed buns.

- Ten taels of silver?
- Yes. Ten taels of silver.

Here you go.

Dearest! Dearest!
We have ten taels of silver!

Master Xinmei, look.
We finally have food to eat.

You can't eat those steamed buns.

Nonsense.

You just saw that man
eating them just now.

We can't eat them.

That man's not
the Five-Poison Master's target.

If they're poisoned,
why hasn't he died?

Because the antidote is in the soup.

You saw him drink the soup
before he ate the steamed bun.

How did you know
they were poisoned?

I also know that man has already left,
and the house is empty.

Steamed buns! Come get
your freshly-cooked steamed buns!

Freshly-cooked steamed buns!

Come get your steamed buns!

- You two are so disobedient!
- We don't want noodles.

- Stop it and eat your noodles!
- We want steamed buns.

I'll give you five taels of silver,
if you sell these to me.

Hey! Hey!

Ma'am, as your kids prefer buns,
I'll swap you for two bowls of noodles.

- How could I accept...?
- It's fine.

- Thank the kind man.
- Thanks, sir.

Come on, let's eat steamed buns.
Open the door.

So, we can eat these noodles, right?

This is ridiculous!

If the Five-Poison Master can predict
that those kids wouldn't like noodles

and that I'd exchange
the steamed buns for these noodles

so he poisoned them in advance,

then |'|| congratulate him,
even if I do poison myself!

- Eat up, men!
- Master Tian, you can't eat it!

I can't eat them?
I can see through your ruse!

You want us to starve to death,
so you can escape.

You can't eat it.
Think about it.

Apart from the inn, these are
the only buildings in a half-mile radius.

If I were the poisoner,
I would surely do it here.

If you don't believe me,
check that house.

The kids and the woman
won't be there anymore.

There's no one inside.

We're finally at the mountain
of the Shaolin Temple.

You monks make no sense.

Why did you insist
on my young master coming here?

We invited Master Li to come here,

because our secret
martial arts manual was stolen.

What's the link
to the Plum Blossom Bandit?

When the thief killed our disciple,
he left the Plum Blossom Bandit's mark.

You really think
he's the Plum Blossom Bandit?

No. Actually, I already have
a suspect.

I don't dare reveal their name
because I have no proof yet.

By the way,
if something happens to me,

please inform my abbot

that the suspect's name is
on the last page of my sutra notes.

The last page of your sutra notes?

Hold your breath! Don't touch them!

The frogs are poisonous! Let's go!

Chuan-jia! Chuan-jia!

- Chuan-jia!
- Young Master.

I think I've been poisoned by a frog.

It's the Five-Poison Master's people again.

You're right about that!

- Chuan-jia.
- Young Master...

I know I'm dying.
Please take care.

Chuan-jia! Chuan-jia!

Master Li...

People killed such rare poisonous snakes.
What a shame.

What a pity.

The Five-Poison Master?

CHIANG NAN
Yes, I am the Five-Poison Master.

I came here especially to wait for you,

because I promised someone
that I would kill you.

Watch out!

- Five-Poison Cold Needles?
- You know a lot of things.

Master Li, don't mind me. Just go!

SHENDIAN TEMPLE
MOUNT XUEYU

CHING MIAO
Wandering the world all your life,

swearing to diminish one's qi
with a flying dagger.

You have a graceful bearing,
Master Li.

You're too kind.

You're so well respected.
I don't deserve my reputation.

I've never had the chance to meet you.
It's such an honor to see you today.

Don't be so modest.

Xinmei is unconscious from the poison,
but you brought him here.

- I thank you for that.
- It's nothing.

CHAN SHEN
Master! He may have hurt Master Xinmei!

Be quiet!

Can't you see that Xinmei was poisoned
by the Five-Poison Master's needles?

KU KUAN-CHUNG
But poison is readily available.

Anyone can use it.

- Master Xinjian is right.
- Oh?

You think I was the one
who injured Master Xinmei?

- Well, only you know the answer to that.
- Not so.

- There's another who knows.
- Who?

Master Xinmei himself.

Why don't you ask him
when he wakes up?

It's time for dinner.

Plum Blossom Bandit,
you can't escape now!

What exactly happened?

You killed Xinmei to silence him
while we were having dinner.

- Do you still deny the truth?
- Huh? What?

Get him!

Stop!

Master Li, what exactly happened
to Master Xinmei?

It's obvious, someone killed
Master Xinmei to silence him.

- You killed him!
- You're wrong.

Master Xinmei told me
along the way here

that he had a suspect
for the sutra thief.

The name is on the last page
of his sutra notes.

SUTRA NOTES

The last page has been torn out!

This is very simple. The suspect could
tear out the page, then make up a lie!

However, how would he know
about these sutra notes?

Oh, you're back on your feet already?

Do you want the Golden Armor back?

No. I just wanted
to come out and see you.

I've always considered flowers to be
the most beautiful things in this world.

Only today, I have seen someone
prettier than any flower.

Do you find me beautiful?

Have you ever fallen in love before?

No.

Then, do you know about my past?

I know nothing about you.

This is the first time
I've spoken with you.

Then don't think too much.

Don't move!

What is it?

I just saw a poisonous spider
on your neck.

Thank you.

How strange to find such a creature
in this beautiful place.

A beautiful appearance
might belie something ugly inside.

I heard poppies are beautiful, too.

But you touched that poisonous spider
with your hand.

Weren't you afraid it could bite you
and kill you?

Right.
Why didn't I think of that earlier?

Ah, maybe it's because
I acted reflexively.

In this world, only one emotion
makes one disregard one's safety.

That is the love
between a man and a woman.

You'll learn to understand this.

But I shall always remember
that you saved my life today.

And I'll remember that
I received your favor once.

May I ask, do you have any news
about Flying Dagger Li?

Why must you get involved
in Li Xunhuan's business?

Because he's the only friend I have.

I heard that Master Xinmei
was assassinated.

The Shaolin Temple is holding
Li Xunhuan under house arrest

until they find the Plum Blossom Bandit.

If another Plum Blossom Bandit
appears now,

then it would prove that
Li Xunhaun is innocent.

Do you know any evil person
deserving to die?

Are you Shen Lao-san?

Do you know why I'm here?

Throw the net!

Shaolin Temple monks?

Master Xinjian, stop!

Why have you captured him?

He's the Plum Blossom Bandit's
accomplice.

- Why shouldn't we capture him?
- Master, my friend is innocent.

- I hope you'll release him.
- Who says he's innocent?

If you're the Plum Blossom Bandit,
that makes him your accomplice.

He's as guilty as you!

- Zhao Zhengyi, you've gone too far.
- What of it?

If you wish to attack someone,
it must come from a sense of justice.

You can't threaten someone
while they're tied up.

Master Zhao,
there's no one lying in ambush.

And there's no spy, only you.

What exactly do you want?

- To capture the Plum Blossom Bandit.
- And find the sutra thief.

What if the sutra thief is not
the Plum Blossom Bandit?

I promise you that
if we find the sutra,

the Shaolin Temple
will interfere no further.

But you must hand over the sutra
in three days.

Three days? That's far too long.
I need only one hour.

- Yuanfeng?
- Yes.

Bring men to search the rooms
in Dongning Pavilion.

Yes. Come with me.

Abbot, why search our rooms?

Because Master Xinmei told me
that the sutra thief is one of you,

and that the recently lost
Yi-Jin Sutra is still in the temple.

Abbot, we found the sutra
in their rooms!

Eh? Abbot, they must have planted it!
They must have!

YI-JIN SUTRA

Abbot, the Yi-Jin Sutra is here.
They planted it!

How did you know
where we hid the sutra?

Look, as they didn't steal it,
they wouldn't be able to find it.

Besides, even if we had planted it,

we couldn't have hidden it
in your secret drawer.

In fact, Master Xinmei told me
as we traveled here...

...that he had long suspected
one of you had stolen the sutra.

And the only ones
who can access the Library

are the senior masters
in Dongning Pavilion.

That was why I took the opportunity
to plan this trick.

If you'd acted in a calmer manner,
it wouldn't have succeeded.

- Don't move!
- I'll capture the Plum Blossom Bandit!

Nobody move!

Master Zhao, if you wish for fame,

why don't I capture him
and hand him over to you?

There are no greater hypocrites
than those who crave success,

the cause of so many feuds
within the martial arts world!

Wait!

I promised Master Xinmei
that I would capture the sutra thief.

And I always do as I promise.

Then let's see how you propose
to capture me!

Don't move!

Let's go!

FLYING DAGGER LI

Tell me.
Who told you to steal the sutra?

Who is the Plum Blossom Bandit?

What did he say?

He said it was me.

- What are you doing?
- I want to capture the Plum Blossom Bandit.

You fool.
One move and I'll kill you.

You... you...

Have you considered that
the Bandit may not be a man?

- If he's not a man, then what is he?
- If he's not a man, then he's a woman.

- A woman?
- That's right.

From the beginning, the Plum Blossom Bandit
wanted to frame you and get you killed.

And those martial arts experts
who fought us are all men.

Only an utterly beautiful woman
could make so many men fall for her.

And only one woman knows
that I went to kill Shen Lao-san...

I heard the news
from the Shaolin Temple.

I knew you'd come for me.

Why are you intent
on killing Master Li?

- Because he killed my father.
- Who was your father?

My father was the Plum Blossom
Bandit's subordinate.

Ten years ago,
you killed him at Lake Tai.

That's why you've been working
with the Plum Blossom Bandit to kill him.

That's because Master Xinjian
had contacted me.

He said the Plum Blossom Bandit
wanted to help me avenge my father.

That's why we set up this trap for you
to come through the Pass.

We used those lecherous heroes
of the martial arts world

to assassinate Zhao Zhengyi's son
and Iron Flute's twin brother,

so that they'd kill you.

So, you've long known
who the Plum Blossom Bandit is?

I don't know. Master Xinjian was always
the one who contacted me.

But it doesn't matter who
the Plum Blossom Bandit is now.

That's because I'm going
to kill you right now!

Miss Lin, I suggest you stop right now.

Even with years of fighting experience,
you'd never be a match for Master Li.

That's my decision!

Miss Lin, has it occurred to you

that I killed your father
to eliminate evil from the world?

He was still my father!

Miss Lin, I received a favor
from you once.

I can't bear to see you die here.
You should leave.

Iron Flute, you heard
what she just said.

Your brother's real killer... was her.

- What are you doing?
- Avenging my brother.

You're gravely mistaken.
I wasn't the one who killed your brother.

It was the real Plum Blossom Bandit.

- Who'd believe you?
- Come on, then!

Spread out!

Iron Flute, today we shall determine
the victor among us.

Attack!

Stop!

Iron Flute... Zhao Zhengyi...

if it's revenge you seek,
then you must find the real killer.

- Where is the real killer?
- I know!

Shiyin!

Xunhuan, in fact you've long known
who the real Plum Blossom Bandit is.

Tell them.
If you won't, then I will.

Shiyin!

Spread out!

- Shiyin!
- Miss Lin! Miss Lin!

Shiyin...

Xunhuan...

Now, you know...

...that you've been wrong...

...for the past ten years.

Shiyin!

Wait!

Don't go after him.
I know where he is.

I shall deal with this matter alone.

- I knew you'd come eventually.
- Why did you kill Shiyin?

Because I have to kill everyone
who knows my secret.

Including you.

This fight was supposed to happen
at Lake Tai ten years ago.

However, I postponed it until today.

- Are you really the Plum Blossom Bandit?
- That's right.

You came to capture me
at Lake Tai ten years ago.

I knew I wasn't a match for you back then,
so I set a trap for you.

I pretended to save you.

I hid in the Xinyun Villa,

then used Xinjian to steal the secret
martial arts manual in the Shaolin Temple

and practiced in secret.

Now, I'm afraid it's not going
to be so easy

for you to kill me
compared to ten years ago.

So, you've never loved Shiyin?

Never.

To be honest,
I never saved you either.

Since that day ten years ago,

I've been taking my revenge.

It's just that I didn't use weapons,
but affection.

But to use affection,
you must be like me.

Cold and ruthless.

Otherwise, I would be like you,

who is controlled
by affection all your life,

living in pain and constantly
tormented by memories.

When Xinjian was dying, he told me
that you were the Plum Blossom Bandit.

I hid it for your sake,
because I couldn't believe it.

This is where you've failed.

You believe that people
have affection for each other.

So you easily cast away
the woman you love and your assets.

Of course, people would say
that you're sentimental.

Actually, you're just a fool.

Let me tell you again.

In the martial arts world,

a swordsman cannot be sentimental.

And what you wield...

...must be a ruthless sword.

Long Nae-yum. ....

Have you finished with your story?

I've long been finished.

It's very simple.

It's just the Plum Blossom Bandit's
story of vengeance.

Now... it's time for my story to begin.

I'd like to see how you dodge
my flying daggers!

"Flying Dagger Li.
None thrown in vain."

But you probably never expected me
to use a magnet.

Over the past ten years,
I have come to know you very well.

You do not carry more
than twelve daggers on you.

There's a sword behind you.

|'m not accustomed to
killing an unarmed man.

At first, I wanted to use
Lin Xian-er's desire for revenge

and the gentleman's so-called righteous
craving for success against you.

But I didn't expect that I'd have
to kill you myself in the end!

I told you I would kill you.

You're far too sentimental,
and my sword is ruthless.

Another man who believes in affection!

Don't move!

You didn't think that I'd be wearing
the Golden Silk Armor.

Wait!

You dare move an inch,

and I swear I'll pierce your throat
with this broken sword.

The magnet is out of reach.

But once you throw that blade,
I'll still have time to kill him.

You may be able to thwart
all man-made blades and swords...

...but you can't dodge an icicle
created by nature.
