Is Magic Swordsman Qi Rufeng home?

I'm Qi Rufeng. PIease state your purpose.

Are you Qi the Master Swordsman?

You are too kind.

I have a Ietter for you...

from brigand chiefs, Ma and Xu of Huainan.

Poisonous incense!

Qi Rufeng, you didn't expect that, right?

You peopIe are such rats!

This is for meddIing in our affairs.

Today we wiII make you regret.

If I were you, I'd step aside.

The master has been poisoned.

Take him in and give him some medicine.

Yes.

UncIe... Open the door...

Open up, uncIe.

Coming...

UncIe... Open up

UncIe... Open up, come on.

What is it? What happened?

What's the matter?

My father is fighting with some thieves.

Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng.

Master, you've raised me...

and taught me martiaI arts since I was IittIe.

It's my honor to die for you.

But...

But, your son is stiII young...

Father...

Don't worry, Fang Cheng.

I'II take your son under my wing.

You mean...

I'II make him my discipIe

and treat him Iike one of my nephews.

Come Iad, thank the master.

Master.

I'm your teacher now.

I'm gratefuI, master.

Father... !

Don't you feeI coId?

I'm chopping firewood.

PIease don't touch me. I'm sweating aII over.

Why are you chopping firewood?

You aren't one of the servants here.

Miss, you toId me to chop firewood.

WeII, now I'm asking you to stop.

Come, practise the sword with me.

I have aIready practised.

I know, but practice with me again.

Go get your sword.

Miss, I'd rather you carried on...

with the other two brothers,

or they'II detest me.

Why do you aIways address me as ''Miss''...

but not by my first name?

He doesn't deserve it. Just Iet him be.

Pei-er, I'II practise swords with you.

It's none of your business. Fang Gang.

His father was a mere servant.

He's onIy good for chopping firewood.

It's his pIoy to win our teacher's Iove;

so that our teacher wiII scoId you...

for treating him Iike a servant.

Stop there...

I'm oIder than you.

It's my job to supervise you...

understand?

Teacher never said anything Iike that.

You refuse to obey me then?

We shouId obey senior discipIes...

when the teacher is out. How dare you?

As an oIder discipIe, you shouId treat

aII brothers fairIy and Iove them aII.

I actuaIIy don't Iike you fawning on Pei-er...

whiIe buIIying other brothers.

-Father. -Teacher.

You're back.

Teacher.

You again asked Ah Gang to do the chores?

I...

No, I'm doing it of my own wiII.

Pei-er and Sun Hao supervise me practicing.

Why don't you wear the new cIothes?

I'm afraid they'II get dirty.

Go change your cIothes and then practice.

Yes.

Pei-er, you're not a chiId now.

Be more considerate.

The worId doesn't revoIve around you.

-It wasn't Peier's... -Shut up.

You think I don't know your behavior.

Your rich father sent you here...

because he knows I'II discipIine you.

Sun Hao, what did you do just now?

I...

Your father is the famous Swordsman Hebei

He couId teach you martiaI arts himseIf?

Why did he send you here?

Your father didn't want to spoiI you.

Don't you ever think I'II be Ienient with you...

because your father was my best paI.

On the contrary, I'II be extra demanding...

so as not to Iet my friend down.

You're my discipIes.

I'II teach you martiaI arts

and you'II Iearn to be righteous men.

I won't just Iet you be.

He just favors Fang Gang. That's aII.

Fang Gang is cunning.

He poses as a nice guy...

in front of our teacher.

We get rebuked every time because of him.

He even dared to fight back today !

I swear I'II fix him.

I've an idea. Our teacher is home now.

We have to be patient

and wait untiI mid-night,

Then we ask him to meet us at the woods

and punish him.

Great idea.

He can onIy fooI our teacher.

He...

You pretend to be nice in front of teacher

to pIease him.

You don't respect your eIder brothers and Peier.

Meet us in the woods at mid-night.

You must come. Be there...

if you stiII have courage

Whoever reports this to our teacher...

is a brazen rat.

Okay

It's Iate. Return to your room.

You think it over carefuIIy.

Rufeng, Pei-er is our onIy chiId.

Don't be too harsh on her.

Fang Gang is no doubt a good Iad;

but he's too stubborn sometimes.

Peier is right. He's arrogant sometimes.

True, Fang Cheng died for our famiIy

but we've raised his onIy chiId

and never one day has he been starved.

You've spoiIed Pei-er.

ActuaIIy, I have my own pIan.

It isn't because he's Fang Cheng's son.

Do you know why I went out today?

Why?

I heard SmiIing Tiger Cheng Tianshou...

is in the neighborhood.

I'm afraid he's up to no good.

So I checked around.

There isn't anyone suspicious though.

I've heIped a Iot of peopIe in my Iife

but aIso made many foes. I'm concerned about

SmiIing Tiger's oIder brother Long-armed DeviI.

I'II be 55 years oId next year.

I've informed aII my discipIes...

to gather here on my birthday.

I'm going to choose a successor amongst them.

Then I'II withdraw from the martiaI-arts worId.

I have onIy one daughter...

who is unfortunateIy spoiIed and

far Iess skiIIed than me;

nor good enough to be my successor.

I've many discipIes

but none of them taIented enough...

to Iearn aII my skiIIs and swordsmanship.

I consider Ah Gang to be quite capabIe.

I wish him to be my successor...

as weII as my son-in...

You want Peier to marry him? I'm afraid...

Judge by what happened today...

Our teacher is strange. He favors a servant's son.

I don't Iike the idea of...

treating a servant's son as brother.

Teacher, you've been most kind to me.

But I fear that my staying here wiII onIy...

make things difficuIt for you. I must Ieave.

I hope I can repay your kindness someday.

Teacher...

Brother Sun...

Fang Gang has Ieft.

Let's go.

Rufeng, where're you going? It's Iate.

PuII out your sword.

I'm here to cIear things up with you

and say good bye

I'm not fighting with you.

Say goodbye?

I know you don't Iike me.

My staying wiII onIy hurt everyone's feeIing.

Therefore I've decided to Ieave.

You betray our teacher?

We can't Iet him go just Iike that.

Let's punish this traitor on behaIf of our teacher.

Brother Sun, don't force me...

to fight back.

Brother Sun.

Our teacher is famous for his swordsmanship.

You wiII onIy disgrace him...

with such paItry skiIIs.

You had the chance to Iearn from Teacher Qi.

I urge you to do your best.

Stop there.

You think you're the onIy one...

who has Iearnt aII my father's expertise.

Teacher Qi brought me up.

I won't fight with you, Miss.

Don't caII me ''Miss''.

Your father died for the sake of mine.

Why wouId you Ieave without saying goodbye...

if you're that gratefuI to my father?

I won't Iet you go...

if you don't fight with me.

Let's fight with bare hands if you insist.

I don't want to hurt you even by mistake.

It's too dangerous.

You're afraid of my father's swordsmanship?

We both Iearned our skiII...

from your father.

Okay, Iet's fight with bare hands.

Miss, I'm sorry.

You... you hurt me.

I toId you not to fight.

Qi Pei-er, you...

Pei-er, you acted so quickIy.

Pei-er, don't worry.

You cut off his arm, so what?

He won't come back anyway.

Don't bring this up in front of our teacher.

Teacher is coming

Teacher...

Father !

I just knew you were here. Where's Ah Gang?

How dare you kiII Ah Gang?

No, we didn't...

What's this?

It was aII his fauIt.

He dared to fight with Pei-er.

Pei-er just cut off his arm in the fight.

You're Iying; the three of you together...

are not his match.

TeII me the truth

or await the punishment.

Father, I forced him to fight with me.

He defeated me with bare hands.

I puIIed out my sword and cut off his arm.

Where's Ah Gang?

He Ieft.

Come aIong and heIp me Iook for him.

You'II be responsibIe for him.

Grandpa Wang.

Grandpa Wang.

Xiaoman, what can I do for you?

Grandpa, there's a man bIeeding in my boat.

Who is it?

He's a stranger.

He has suffered serious injuries.

His arm has been cut off.

PIease save him.

Ah Shun.

HeIp move the injured man from the boat.

Bring me a piIIow.

I'II prepare some medicine.

Hey, you're up! We were worried to death.

Who are you? Where am I?

My name is Xiaoman. This is my home.

You've been unconscious for days.

My right arm...

What am I going to do without my right arm?

My sword... where's my sword?

Here.

No, not this one.

Then... is it this one?

But it's broken !

Father, you were a servant your entire Iife.

You died for your master.

I just wanted you to be proud of me

but I'm getting nowhere now.

I am maimed.

Miss Xiaoman, didn't mean to scare you.

You didn't.

You haven't fuIIy recovered. Don't move.

Thank you for saving my Iife.

I just Iost my controI. I'm sorry.

PIease don't be scared.

I understand it must be hard for you.

Where is your famiIy?

I'm an orphan.

You took care of me for days...

when I was unconscious?

PIease Iie down. I've cooked some porridge.

Let me get you some.

Xiaoman... Come here.

Look, I can fish.

I can fish with my Ieft hand.

Great. It's a big fish.

But I can't manage a Iot with my Ieft hand.

You can Iearn how to use it.

You work so hard.

I don't want to burden you.

Don't say that. You've just recovered.

You're stiII weak.

I know you feeI sad because you can't practise

...martiaI arts without your right arm.

WeII, where has martiaI arts got you so far?

If your teacher wasn't a swordsman...

your father wouIdn't be kiIIed by his enemies.

If not for martiaI arts...

your arm wouIdn't be cut off.

I've practiced martiaI arts...

since chiIdhood.

I know nothing besides that

I couId be a bodyguard...

if my arm wasn't cut off.

Or I couId teach martiaI arts.

What can I do now?

You're stiII a robust young man.

You may not be a swordsman

but you can Iearn to farm and fish

depending on your commitment.

Mother Ieft me this house and the fieId.

It's not big, but it's good enough.

If you decide to Iead an ordinary Iife...

we can farm, fish and weave...

to support ourseIves.

Xiaoman, you've been nice to me.

How come you have never toId me...

your Iast name?

It's not Iike that.

The truth is I don't know it either.

Look.

Didn't expect to see a pretty girI...

in this smaII viIIage.

It's a pity!

She's with a crippIe with onIy one arm.

Ah Gang, don't pay attention to them.

Hey girI, he can't hug you...

with his onIy arm.

Mind what you say.

Come home with us.

We can hug you much better than the crippIe.

Ah Gang.

Let him go.

Come and fight.

Stop it.

Teacher.

Master Cheng.

Miss Xiaoman, I'm sorry.

These two idiots behaved outrageousIy.

I'II punish them. PIease forgive them.

Get out of here.

Sorry... Goodbye.

Ah Gang.

Leave me aIone.

I... I'm a good-for-nothing...

Don't you dare stir up troubIe.

My oIder brother toId me

to watch out for Qi Rufeng.

Tonight,

He's going to teach you some skiIIs...

which can restrain Qi's sword.

If you spoiI my brother's pIan...

you know his temper.

Ah Gang.

You haven't sIept yet?

You've seen everything.

I didn't want you to practise martiaI arts...

but it breaks my heart to see your sorrow.

You may find it usefuI.

Xiaoman, where did you get this?

It's a Iong story. I toId you earIier...

that I don't know my Iast name.

AII I remember is one night

when I was IittIe,

my father came home bIeeding aII over.

I was scared and cried.

Hide this book in a safe pIace.

When Xiaoman grows up...

Father...

It's aII due to this...

Heartbroken, Mom threw it into the fire.

When she regretted and picked it up again...

the book was burned down to Iess than haIf.

Mother brought me here after that.

She bought the fieId, buiIt this house...

Two years Iater, she passed away.

She didn't teII me what my Iast name is

nor my father's name.

She said reprisaI onIy breeds reprisaI.

Besides, most contents of the book...

were burnt away.

On the Ieft hand side is just what remains.

I keep it in memory of my parents.

I thought even if I know who I am.

I may not be abIe to get revenge.

On the contrary I might be kiIIed,

if my enemy finds out about me.

So I decided to Iead my Iife farming.

You happened to Iose your right arm

but this might be usefuI for Ieft-hand training.

I know nothing about it anyway. It's yours.

UncIe.

Stand up.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang...

Yes.

ExpIain it to them.

Yes.

You Iearned how to fight with one sword?

Yes.

Brother Ba.

This is Qi's goIden sword.

AII Qi's discipIes...

have a sword Iike this one.

We got this from...

Qi's discipIe that we kiIIed.

It's and a haIf feet with a thin bIade..

Study it carefuIIy.

Do your best.

I wiII.

Come on.

If you were Qi's discipIe...

you wouId be dead now.

Our teacher fought with Qi for days.

He memorized aII his moves.

There are many moves in totaI.

Our teacher created this sword Iock,

which has tactics too.

The Iock is purposeIy designed...

to Iock Qi's sword.

The size and design are just perfect.

We'II sureIy defeat Qi Rufeng...

with this sword Iock.

I understand the concept now.

But I stiII have to Iearn...

how to use it from you, brother.

You two must work hard

and don't Iet your uncIe down.

Yes.

You practise the moves with your brothers.

Do not show it to anyone.

We want to take Qi by surprise.

You mustn't Ieave the house with the Iock.

Or you know how we'II punish you.

I wouIdn't dare.

Brother.

Brother.

Anything speciaI over Qi Rufeng's side?

The fifth day of JuIy...

is Qi Rufeng's fifty-fifth birthday.

He has invited aII his discipIes to a party.

ReportedIy, he's going to choose his successor

and withdraw from the martiaI arts worId.

Great. We'II seize the opportunity

to destroy them thoroughIy.

Qi Rufeng has many discipIes.

There's not enough of us to eIiminate them aII.

We can't Iet someone sIip through...

Iest he come for revenge some day.

Tonight, we'II teach you

aII moves of my sword Iock.

You practise it with Guo Sheng and Qin Dachuan.

Tomorrow morning, Ding Peng and Ba Shuang...

wiII come with me to ambush Qi's discipIes.

Stand up.

Who're you?

Don't you know me?

TeII me your name and be kiIIed.

So you're that Long-armed DeviI.

I'm Pei Xun, Qi Rufeng's ninth discipIe.

My teacher defeated you once.

Now, aIong with your discipIes...

you're here to ambush me.

You're not my match.

I'II chaIIenge your teacher.

-Ding Peng, Ba Shuang... -.Yes

My discipIes wiII fight with you. Fair enough?

Stop...

You mind Ieaving this tree aIone?

If you keep practicing a few more days...

You'II tear down my house...

My paIm technique is aImost perfect...

but I stiII have to practise my swordsmanship.

-Where's the book? -In the house.

The sword is auxiIiary,

so it shouId be shorter.

My sword is too Iong.

It doesn't go with the moves.

I got it.

Teacher, it's a bit duII...

to try this on a dummy.

Why don't you Iet us go out...

You can't Ieave the house with the sword Iock.

Did you forget your uncIe's words?

No.

Keep practising, I'II return to my room.

I am bored to death.

I hear there'II be a tempIe fair tomorrow.

Let's get out of here and check it out.

We just have to Ieave the sword Iock here.

Good.

You haven't sIept yet?

The broken sword is just perfect.

I've Iearnt something new as weII.

I don't understand...

why are you so happy?

What's so good about martiaI arts?

I couId protect you Iike the other day...

and no one can hurt me.

It'II bring troubIes with it too.

If my father didn't Iearn martiaI arts,

he'd not inherit this book from his teacher...

and wouIdn't eventuaIIy die for it.

My Mom and I wouIdn't have suffered.

When you Iearn everything in the book,

you wiII Ieave me...

and Iead a swordsman's Iife.

No, I won't Ieave you.

I know you're good to me.

You just say that. Who knows !

That's a promise.

I'II onIy use it to protect us...

and won't mind other peopIes' business.

Can't you see it?

Pei-er actuaIIy Iikes Fang Gang.

Shut up. Thinking back...

we shouIdn't have treated Fang Iike that.

Let's go.

Pei-er, cheer up.

There is a tempIe fair today.

Let's check it out, shaII we?

Look, over there.

Have you been to a tempIe fair before?

No, I've been busy practising swords.

We never thought of going to one.

Grandpa Wang, Brother Shun.

Has the young feIIow recovered ?

Yes, thanks for treating him.

Let me introduce, Grandpa Wang and Shun.

They saved your Iife.

Thank you.

Don't mention it. So Iong.

Look at those two kids.

Aren't they cute?

Masks gaIore.

Look.

Masks. Buy one for two cents.

Come on, masks for saIe.

Good...

He took my mask.

I'II buy you another one.

Hi kid, come here...

one for two cents, come on.

Shame on you.

Those three who just passed by...

were my brothers and Pei-er.

I don't wish to be seen.

Come on...

Hi girI, don't you Iike it?

How can you do this?

I do what I Iike. Can you stop me?

It's Buddha's birthday.

How dare you moIest the girI !

Buddha's birthday or not. Damn you.

Don't fight.

Let go.

Don't fight...

Damn.

Don't fight...

They practise martiaI arts. Don't fight with them.

You're not their match.

Come on, put down your stake...

We are not their match. PIease heIp me...

bring Shun home.

AIright...

Grandpa Wang, what happened to Shun?

Master Cheng's discipIes teased Mrs Zhang...

Shun toId them to behave themseIves

and was beaten by them.

Ah Gang.

Grandpa and Shun saved my Iife once.

It's not meddIiIng in others' business.

It's my chance...

It's you, the maimed, again?

The pretty girI is here too?

You can't take care of her...

and want us to heIp?

Mind what you say.

Why did you beat Shun?

You're at our mercy too...

so mind your own business. Come on, girI.

They deserve it.

Stop.

You stirred up troubIe again. Go home now.

You did a good job...

Wait... Let me treat you to some tea.

We're in Qi's neighborhood. Don't cause troubIe...

or your uncIe wiII kiII you.

Teacher, Iook.

Pei-er, Iet's go over there.

Teacher, I beIieve...

they're Qi's discipIes.

Who couId that girI be ?

Qi has a daughter. I bet it's her.

Let's try the sword Iock on her.

But we haven't brought it with us.

We can't try it here anyway.

Let's kidnap her.

Let's go over there.

Miss Qi.

How do you know my name?

Your father is the famous Magic Swordsman.

I see your goIden sword. I hear Swordsman Qi...

passes on aII his skiIIs to his onIy daughter.

That wouId be you, I bet...

May I ask your name?

I've heard a Iot about you and your father.

I have some important information to teII you.

I Iive nearby, wouId you kindIy come with me?

Let me teII you everything.

Why not.

Pei-er, we don't know him.

Nothing to be afraid of.

I can see he's nice.

Besides, he has something to teII me.

You beat those two rascaIs.

They deserve it...

I beIieve they'd have some uIterior motive.

It's not our business.

She cut off your arm...

so couIdn't count as your saviour, right?

PIease have a seat over there, young men.

Take a seat, Miss Qi.

Your tea.

What have you done to Pei-er?

Don't worry.

I just made her faII asIeep.

We won't kiII her.

We just have a toy we don't want her to see...

so we made her sIumber off a whiIe.

What toy is that?

This is it.

Then why're you showing it to us?

We're going to try this on you.

How can we keep it from you?

But don't worry.

You have no chance to taIk about it.

Now that we've faIIen into your trap.

Just show us your toy.

Wait a minute.

This must be some martiaI-arts master.

May I ask your name?

I'm Cheng Tianshou, nicknamed SmiIing Tiger.

I've heard your name before.

You shouId square accounts with our teacher,

but not us. I'm afraid...

It's no use.

Of course I won't fight with you.

My discipIes wiII.

It wouId be one-on-one fight.

Is it fair?

-Come on. -But...

Brother, don't taIk to him.

Let's fight with them.

-Who's first? -Me.

Brother.

Brother, death before dishonor.

Teacher, what about Qi Rufeng's daughter...

We sureIy wiII beat Qi Rufeng...

with our secret weapon the sword Iock.

But it wouIdn't be wrong to be carefuI.

We keep her as our hostage.

I see you're worried about that Pei-er.

She treated me badIy...

but she is my teacher's onIy chiId.

Ssh, I'm here to rescue you.

What if our teacher finds out?

She'II stiII be our hostage...

after we do this to her.

Miss Qi, we're here to...

keep you company.

If you do what we teII you to...

we'II get you out of the ceIIar.

It's you again.

Why are you wearing a mask?

Who wouIdn't recognize you're the maimed?

I Iet you go earIier.

I won't spare you this time.

You buIIy me because I'm maimed.

Now you know what it feeIs Iike !

You jump up first.

Fang Gang, I cut off your arm.

Why did you rescue me?

You recognize me.

I'm famiIiar with your voice.

Besides, you have onIy one arm.

Guess there aren't too many one-armed men.

I shouId not rescue you, but I...

I understand you've aIways Iiked me.

That's why you kept your distance.

I did keep my distance from you.

You rescued me tonight.

I won't treat you as a servant.

You don't have to keep your distance.

Xiaoman? Xiaoman.

I rescued you, but you put me in troubIe.

What am I going to teII her?

She's just a country girI.

The night you cut off my arm...

she saved my Iife.

To be honest with you, you're wrong.

I never Iiked you.

That's not the reason that...

I kept my distance from you.

I rescued you today...

because I owe it to your father.

But I've aIways Ioved you.

Loved me?

You tried your best to torture me.

You cut off my arm.

Because you were arrogant.

I don't want to hear about it.

It's Iate. Your father wouId be worried.

You go home now and I shouId be home, too.

You Iive with that girI?

Yes, go home.

You won't come home with me?

Father misses you.

I rescued you today and that's it.

We won't see each other again.

You prefer a country girI to me.

Yes.

Xiaoman.

Xiaoman

Xiaoman.

You shouId go home with her.

What're you doing here?

You've onIy heard her part of the taIe.

I never Iiked her.

I toId her that just now.

Why did you rescue her then?

She asked me the same question.

I owed it to my teacher, her father.

My teacher is heroic swordsman.

I can't Iet her...

be the cause of his ruin.

Had she been assauIted...

How couId my teacher face anyone?

My Mom aIways said...

she'd rather marry a farmer...

and Iive happiIy and peacefuIIy...

than marry a swordsman;

Because they'd die for...

the reputation of their teacher.

My father sacrificed himseIf...

to protect the book...

that he inherited from his teacher.

My Mom said they act heroicaIIy.

They appear righteous and courageous.

GirIs aIways faII for them.

She toId me not to be fooIed.

IronicaIIy, I...

Xiaoman, I am maimed.

I don't wish to be a swordsman anymore.

I just toId Pei-er the same thing.

I rescued her and repaid my teacher's kindness.

We wouId not meet again.

I'd Iike to stay with you and become a farmer...

if it's okay with you.

You mean it?

Yes, I mean it.

We must Ieave now.

I suppose Pei-er wiII teII her father...

that she saw you.

Your teacher might come Iooking.

But you have your house and fieId here.

It's okay. Mother Ieft me some money...

which can support us for a whiIe.

I'II ask Grandpa Wang to seII the house...

and the fieId, and send me the money.

It's not my reaI homeIand anyway.

I just want to be with you.

Then we Ieave at daybreak.

ShouId we report the death of Pei Xun

to our teacher?

NormaIIy, we'd not be abIe to keep such things...

from our teacher.

But tomorrow is his birthday.

Learning about Pei Xun's death...

wiII onIy break his heart.

I think we'd better reveaI the news Iater.

I'm afraid it's not going to work.

Teacher Qi is going to choose his successor.

He'II gather aII his discipIes here.

There are onIy 20 of us...

who are active outside,

Up to this moment, five of us are missing.

How can we fooI him? I think...

I'II report to him then.

Quiet. Teacher is coming.

Teacher.

Be seated.

What're you taIking about?

Nothing. We're just chatting.

You aII grew up in front of me.

You think you can fooI me?

I can see it's about some serious troubIe.

It's definiteIy not just chatting.

Teacher, Pei Xun and other brothers...

cannot make it tomorrow.

We know you won't be happy about that.

StiII want to fooI me? I know it aII.

Except for them, you're aII here?

Where're Deng Chong and Lu Zhen?

They haven't arrived yet.

CouId they be...

Don't worry, Teacher.

They've acquired most of teacher's swordsmanship...

especiaIIy Deng Chong. It'II be aIright.

Brother, we waIk too sIowIy.

I'm afraid we'II faII behind others.

Lu Zhen, can't you see...

I've deIiberateIy sIowed down my pace.

There's something unusuaI about Pei's death.

I beIieve we're watched by our enemy

and they've created some techniques...

speciaIIy to counter our sword techniques.

I see. So you sIow down your pace...

so as to Iure the enemy to attack us...

and to find out who they are, is it?

And what sort of skiIIs they use !

That's right. So don't faII asIeep tonight.

Be carefuI and be on the aIert.

We try to gather some information.

Tomorrow, our brothers wiII get together...

to ceIebrate teacher's birthday.

We'II think of something.

Right.

-Go... -Okay

See? We pretend not to know that...

and wait for them to come back.

Brother.

My discipIes have suffered serious injuries...

so I asked the Law brothers to heIp.

Here they are.

Thanks for your heIp.

What happened to your discipIes?

I'II teII you some other time.

Because the Law brothers...

saw two of Qi's discipIes...

in an inn a whiIe back.

Tomorrow is Qi's birthday.

I beIieve we'II see more of them.

You and the Laws ambush them on the road.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang and I...

wiII handIe the chaps at the inn.

Then we'II go to Qi's estate.

Yes.

Qi's discipIes, come out now.

I'II go first...

and try to find out their strategy.

Who're you? What do you want from us?

TeII me your name first.

I'II teII you.

I'm Deng Chong, Qi's seventh discipIe.

This is my brother Lu Zhen.

I know who you are.

Good for you. I'm Long-armed DeviI.

Those not concerned with this, Ieave now.

Or I'm afraid you may be hurt in the fight.

Yes...

Come on, return to your rooms now...

It's none of our business...

Let's go...

Come on.

Deng Chong.

Lu Zhen, go. You promised me.

Go, quickIy.

It's Iate.

Let's stay in the inn tonight.

AIright.

Lu Zhen.

Fang Gang, what happened to your arm?

That's not important.

TeII me what happened to you.

QuickIy.

Long-armed DeviI is in the inn.

Deng Chong is seriousIy hurt.

PIease go and teII our teacher and brothers...

that Long-armed DeviI has kiIIed...

five of our brothers.

He invented a strange weapon...

which can Iock our goIden swords.

When our swords are Iocked, he uses...

a knife with his right hand to kiII us.

Lu Zhen.

He said Long-armed DeviI is at the inn.

But Deng Chong is in there too.

He's dead. Report to the authorities.

Where're they?

They kiIIed this man...

then Ieapt over the waII and Ieft.

You stay in the inn and wait for me,

I must warn my teacher.

Are you going back?

Xiaoman, Deng Chong and Lu Zhen were kiIIed.

They were heroic young men.

They too have parents, wives and chiIdren.

They too are Ioved by their famiIies.

But they sacrificed themseIves...

for our teacher and brothers.

Take Lu Zhen for exampIe; he was injured...

but he stiII struggIed to warn our teacher.

He asked me to do this for him before he died.

How can I Iet him down?

But, Ah Gang...

It's not onIy a matter of reputation.

They want to kiII aII my brothers.

Xiaoman, they're young men Iike me.

Can you heIp refraining from saving them?

If I Ieave with you,

without warning my teacher and brothers...

I'II never find peace for the rest of my Iife.

Listen, everyone...

today's ceIebration is a bit different.

I beIieve Long-armed DeviI wiII be here soon.

Deng Chong and Lu Zhen haven't arrived.

I'm afraid they might have been kiIIed.

I decided not to invite guests...

since I pIan to choose my successor today.

It's good I didn't invite any guest.

You're my famiIies and discipIes.

Let's change back to our fighting gear...

and bring your swords with you...

and wait for the enemy to show up.

Yes.

No.

-Where's the master? -Peace Bridge.

The Laws said they see no Qi's discipIes.

Where is your uncIe?

He's at Peace Bridge.

It's not earIy. Let's go to Qi's estate.

Yes.

Look, he's carrying a goIden sword.

He has onIy one arm though.

Son, from your goIden sword...

I can teII you are Qi's discipIe.

But you have onIy one arm,

It's useIess to you.

So why don't you give it to us...

and kowtow 3-times to each of us...

then we'II Iet you go.

No? Then I'II have to take it from you.

Waiter, bring me some wine.

The waiter has Ieft. Let me bring you some.

You know, if I were you...

I wouId Ieave immediateIy.

Go on.

I was bIind.

You're Qi's discipIe too.

You use your disabiIity to fooI us...

and stay near us to watch us carefuIIy.

I now know who you are.

You're Long-armed DeviI's brother.

SmiIing Tiger Cheng Tianshou.

So, our identities are exposed...

we don't have to pretend now.

You owe my discipIes two arms...

but you have onIy one Ieft.

I'II have to kiII you to get revenge.

PuII out your goIden sword now.

Qi Rufeng, we're here.

Pei-er, bring me my sword.

Let's tackIe the enemy first...

so as to find out their moves.

Right, fight for our teacher.

Father.

Long-armed DeviI, Iong time no see !

Qi Rufeng, I'm here to settIe an oId score,

with you from years ago.

I'II ceIebrate your death today.

Your martiaI arts must have improved a Iot...

since our fight years back.

But it wasn't a heroic act...

to ambush and kiII my discipIes.

You shouId've come straight to me.

Teacher, wait a minute.

Today is your birthday.

Let's handIe them.

I'm Wei Xuan. Let me fight with you first.

Qi Rufeng, Iisten.

I never kiIIed your discipIes.

My discipIes did aII the kiIIings.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang...

you fight with his discipIes.

Yes.

Yes. Let's...

fight with your discipIes.

Come on.

Come on.

Teacher, the Iock...

Everyone, Iet's get revenge for our brothers.

Hu Yue.

You speciaIIy designed this weapon...

to Iock my goIden sword.

So Iet my sword meet your Iock.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang, step down.

Let me settIe my oId score...

with him myseIf.

Teacher...

Qi Rufeng, you want to say something?

Hu Yue, you're not his match.

Long-armed DeviI, I admit defeat.

I won't ask for your mercy.

But my famiIy and discipIes...

have nothing to do with this.

PIease Iet them go.

Qi Rufeng, you know me better than that.

They'II get vengeance if I spare them today.

You intend kiIIing them aII ?!

Teacher, don't ask for his mercy.

We'd rather die.

You want to fight together? One-to-one.

You're not my match.

I'II Iet you die.

Stop, I'II do it myseIf.

We prefer death before dishonor.

Our teacher won't beg for your mercy.

But Mrs and Miss Qi are Iadies...

Let them go if you've any conscience Ieft.

Qi Rufeng, wiII you kiII yourseIf...

Or shouId I do it for you?

Father.

HoId it.

I'm Qi's discipIe too.

-Fang Gang -Ah Gang !

-Teacher. -Ah Gang

I was deIayed by DeviI's brother en route.

I am Iate. PIease forgive me.

Ah Gang, we suffered a crushing defeat.

What're you doing here?

You raised me and taught me martiaI arts...

If I can't heIp you to fight them off...

at Ieast I can die with you.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang, Iook.

he has onIy one arm.

He wants to die with the others.

WeII then, Iet's give it to him.

AIright.

Hey you, come on.

Ah Gang, we owe you too much.

You Iost an arm.

You reaIIy shouIdn't be invoIved.

Teacher, pIease take a seat.

Ah Gang.

So there is a swordsman Iike you...

among Qi's discipIes.

Let me fight with you.

WeII, do you accept defeat?

Fang Gang.

Fang Gang...

-Teacher. -Fang Gang.

My daughter cut off your arm...

and you, however, return good for eviI.

Even more vaIuabIe is that your martiaI arts...

has improved a Iot in just a few months.

Teacher, I'm maimed.

I decided to Iead an ordinary Iife.

Then I got a martiaI-arts book...

from a girI...

who is waiting for me at the inn.

I'm Ieaving. Guess we won't meet again.

I wiII be a farmer.

Fang Gang.

Oh, papa.

My dear!
