(Token)

Where did you get these?

What did you do to my family?

What I did doesn't matter.

Think about what you should do.

You're the only one who can save the Xiao family now.

Xiao Qiushui, just give him the token already.

- Give it to him. - Yeah, please.

- Give it to him. - Yeah.

- Give it to him. - Just do it, okay?

I really don't know where the Hero Token is.

He says he doesn't have it.

Then think harder and tell me

what happened after you met Madam Wu.

Prepare to die if you can't recall anything.

(Tang Sect's Seven-Step Deadly Array.)

(Could it be the Tang Sect who took Xiao Qiushui?)

I knew we shouldn't get involved.

- Yeah. - None of you listened.

I say we break all his arms and legs, too,

and make him talk.

Absolutely.

My leg.

Guys, even if you dismember me,

your injuries won't heal.

It's all your fault.

At this point, we have to work together

and find a way out of here.

My sister Xiao Xueyu is a brilliant physician.

I'm sure she can heal your injuries.

Xiao Xueyu?

Alright.

Wait, you're not being kind out of goodwill.

To be honest, I'm not a kind person.

But think about it.

Liu Suifeng is ruthless.

Do you think he'll spare any of you?

- No. - No, he won't.

So, we're in the same boat now.

We must unite and cooperate

to escape from here.

In the same boat...

So we're Five Punks now?

Five Punks?

Five.

- That's right. We're Five Punks. - Five Punks.

But... what if we escape,

and your sister refuses to cure us?

- Yeah. - Yeah, what then?

No way. My sister is kind-hearted.

You'll be my saviors if you save me.

She'll definitely help her brother's saviors.

I don't believe you. You're lying.

Even if you don't trust my sister,

you've heard of the Tang Sect.

They have remarkable bone-setting techniques.

I also have a friend named Tang Fang.

Though she's quick-tempered, bossy,

and maybe a bit unreasonable,

I still believe

she'll heal you if you help me escape.

- That works. - Alright.

Alright.

Donglin, give it a try.

M-Me?

You're the chubbiest.

Ram the door open.

- Hurry. - I need tools.

- Just go. - My leg doesn't move.

Come on.

Liu Suifeng.

Xiao Qiushui, what's going on here?

I thought you were...

I had no choice then.

It's complicated.

I'll explain later.

You lied to me?

No one in the martial world dares to deceive me.

And you dare cage me.

You must be his "kind-hearted sister."

Yeah.

She's clearly the bossy Lady Tang.

Shut up.

L-Lady Tang...

You have one chance to explain.

I can't put you in danger.

I'd rather die than let you get hurt and let Rou down.

You can talk outside.

Yeah.

If Liu Suifeng comes,

you'll be locked up with us, Lady Tang.

Yeah.

Liu Suifeng? You saw him?

Yeah, we did.

- Look at my leg. - He broke my arm.

That's right. Feng Lang is Liu Suifeng.

The target's not here. Retreat.

I knew something was off during the breakout.

As a skilled martial artist, Song Mingzhu shouldn't have feared him.

But if he's Liu Suifeng, then everything makes sense.

And the arrangement here...

What's his connection to the Tang Sect?

We're in grave danger here.

Let's escape first.

- Yeah. - Yeah, let's get out first.

Let's get out.

Half the mechanisms here are disabled.

You four, guard him well.

Get Mr. Xiao out,

and I'll cure you.

- Alright! - Lady Tang.

We have a deal, Lady Tang.

Young Master, your array is broken.

Someone rescued Xiao Qiushui.

Someone broke my Tang Sect array and saved Xiao Qiushui?

Could it be her?

(Fang, does he truly mean this much to you?)

Let's go.

Donglin.

Step aside.

The poison has corroded your meridians.

Antidotes won't suppress it anymore. Take this.

Thank you.

It's a vicious poison. This pill can absorb ant toxins.

Only you can save yourself now.

Thank you.

Lady Tang, you're as great a physician

as that sweet and kind-hearted Xiao Xueyu.

Yeah.

You know Xiao Xueyu, too?

No, we don't.

He told us about her.

Yeah, that's right.

He said you're quick-tempered, bossy,

- and unreasonable. - Yeah.

So maybe we don't have to beg you,

and you'd still help us?

Yeah.

Is this what you told them?

Keep spouting nonsense, and I'll break your limbs.

That's not what I meant.

So lame.

This is yours. Keep it safe.

Qiushui, I have another presumptuous request.

This is called the Golden Swallow.

An old friend left it to me.

That friend was the once-dreaded Supreme Master of Martial World.

Yan Kuangtu?

He studied under Master Wubei

and inherited the Book of Oblivion.

His sect brothers

kidnapped his young siblings out of jealousy,

forcing him to surrender the Book of Oblivion.

But after he complied, they broke their promise.

Yan Kuangtu spent ten years searching for his siblings.

Clues finally emerged,

but the Wastelanders sent assassins for my son at that time.

Mr. Yan stopped his search right away

and rushed to save my son,

losing track of his siblings again.

The world calls Yan Kuangtu arrogant and unbridled.

However, he actually possessed such chivalry.

After that, Mr. Yan searched tirelessly,

only to find his brother's corpse.

He slaughtered sects seeking vengeance,

nearly succumbing to madness,

and thus became that dreadful monster.

His obsession

with finding his sister plunged the martial world into carnage.

It led to the siege at Mount Wuxing,

where he fell into Nantiandang.

But no matter what,

Mr. Yan saved my son and served the nation.

My family owes him big time.

He gave me this Golden Swallow and left in a hurry.

What about his sister?

I've been searching for her over the years.

But it's been a long time, and the martial world is vast.

I don't have much time left.

I wish to entrust you with this Golden Swallow

and ask you to look for Mr. Yan's last surviving kin.

Madam Wu, I'll spare no effort in this search.

Lady Tang.

Lady Tang, excuse me.

Lady Tang.

- Lady Tang. - Lady Tang.

Lady Tang.

This Bone-Setting Balm.

Apply it evenly on the joint, and you'll be able to move temporarily.

But you'll still need proper treatment from skilled physicians.

Here's the Recovery Powder.

Have it and it'll gradually restore your sealed internal energy.

Stop it.

My leg. Give me one. You're crushing my leg.

Stop it. Get up.

Give me one.

Qiushui, what happened?

How did you...

come back from death?

Give it to me.

Perhaps Qu Hanshan's palm strike temporarily stopped my breathing.

Ouch.

It made me appear dead.

Here.

Too much. That's enough.

Give it to me.

I'm glad you're fine.

Stop it.

What's your plan now?

Let me do it.

Yeah, here.

- Let me do it. You don't know. - Gently.

The Sword King and Liu Suifeng.

Let me do it.

I barely managed to keep them occupied.

Now I must hurry back to Huanhua.

I hope Yiren has arrived there.

- Let me do it. - Give it to me. Come on.

Let them apply the medicine, and we'll leave.

Alright.

- Xueyu. - Xueyu.

- What's wrong? - Are you fine?

I'm fine. We must keep moving.

- Let's go. - Young Master.

Young Master, Mr. Kaiyan and Mr. Zuoqiu remain missing.

Young Master. Good news.

Mr. Qiushui is alive.

What did you say?

Did you hear about it or see him?

Someone claimed to have seen Mr. Qiushui.

So I investigated along the trip

and confirmed his survival.

What a relief.

Qiushui is alive.

Thank goodness. Qiushui is probably

heading straight to the Sword Retreat.

- Xueyu. - Yiren.

- Xueyu. - Xueyu.

Xueyu.

Snake venom.

How did this happen?

She didn't say anything so that we'd keep going.

She might die if she keeps walking.

But they really need us...

I'll stay and cure Xueyu.

Yiren, your top priority is saving your parents.

You two stay. The rest of you, follow me.

Understood.

My leg is healed.

- My arm is healed. - My leg is fixed.

I'm cured.

- Marvelous. - My leg is healed.

Thank you, Lady Tang.

- Thank you, Lady Tang. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Why did you hit me?

I can't control myself.

You were fighting for the medicine.

Maybe you didn't apply it well, and your meridians are messed up.

- Donglin. - I-I...

I told you not to rush. Why did you fight me?

What did I do?

Liu Suifeng, you just wouldn't let go, huh?

Liu Suifeng, you know the Tang Sect's array.

What's your connection to us?

Give up, Fang.

You can't stop me.

What did you call me?

I'm your friend Feng.

Feng, run.

Stupid girl. How dare you free the chosen one?

- Fang. - Feng.

Are you really him?

I would have revealed my identity in a better circumstance.

So you're from the Tang Sect.

If you're Feng,

why would you serve the Power Gang

and cause trouble for the Xiao family?

Do you remember how I joined the Tang Sect back then?

After my mother gave birth to me,

Tang Yaoshun returned to be the leader of Tang Sect,

leaving my mother behind in the Herbal Valley with me.

Yet that culprit Xiao Xilou led martial artists

to raid the Herbal Valley and massacre everyone there.

I barely escaped with my life.

I begged Madam Tang to avenge us,

but she turned a blind eye.

But the Herbal Valley produced...

The Herbal Valley produced Marching Pills

for the invading Wastelanders.

Mr. Xiao led the martial artists

to wipe out the Herbal Valley for justice.

You people deserved your fate.

- Yeah, you deserved it. - Yeah.

- You deserved it. - You deserved it.

Nonsense.

We stood aloof from worldly strife.

We didn't collude with invaders.

Wasn't it Xiao Xilou who coveted our elixirs

and framed our people to justify his brutality?

He wouldn't harm the innocent.

You're lying through your teeth.

I witnessed their atrocities with my own eyes.

Fang, since you know the truth, you shouldn't stop me.

Don't call me that.

You're no longer the person I once knew.

Now you're just Power Gang's tyrannical vice-leader,

Liu Suifeng.

Circumstances led me to Power Gang.

I'll explain everything one day.

But now, I must obtain the Hero Token

and find the Book of Oblivion.

Fang, I know you want that book, too.

Once I get it, I'll let you use it.

Why stay with him

and put yourself in danger?

No need. I did come for the book,

but not just that.

I know what to do and what not to do

in this martial world.

I seek what I want through honorable means.

I didn't save you from that abyss

so you could drag others down with you.

You can't stop me, Fang.

Master Liu, isn't it against chivalry to attack

someone who has lost all his power?

Well said.

(Liang Dou, Lord Liang, Devourer of Crimson Clouds)

I have brought my guards here.

You don't get to cause trouble here.

Lord Liang, why would you abandon your carefree life

to meddle in Xiao family affairs?

Xilou and Huishan are my friends.

I'd brave a flood

to help them whenever they need me.

Why are you still here?

Are you looking for a fight?

I hope our paths won't cross ever again.

Qiushui, how are you doing?

I'm fine now.

Thank you for saving me, Master Liang.

But Sword Retreat won't hold much longer.

Please lend us some horses.

We must hurry there.

Rest assured. I've prepared swift horses for you.

Ride back immediately.

Shaolin and Wudang leaders are heading there.

You're still badly injured.

I'll join them first.

Your kindness will be repaid, Master Liang.

Master.

Suifeng, where's the Hero Token?

Forgive me, Master. I failed to obtain it.

You're usually thorough.

How come you keep failing with Xiao family matters?

You know my loyalty.

You've been loyal to me all these years.

But you've failed your task so many times.

It undermines your authority even if I don't say something.

I'll claim the Hero Token

and prove myself.

Tang Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang

have been staying out of affairs of the martial world,

yet they're all helping the Xiao family.

Shaolin and Wudang?

My informants reported

that the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang were heading to Sword Retreat.

Intercept them. Kill them.

Understood.

(Tingtao Villa)

Young Master, confronting both Shaolin and Wudang at once

might be...

Might be what?

Master Liu, Tianzheng masters the Yang energy

that pierces through anything.

Taichan's swordplay flows like water,

(Plague Demon Yu Kuyu) which is unpredictable

(First Cave Demon Zuo Changsheng) and more powerful.

(Fist Demon Sheng Jiangbei, Flying Blade Demon Sun Rentu).

If they join forces,

they'll make a perfect team.

We won't stand a chance.

We must fight them

even if it means our doom since it's our gang leader's order.

Understood.

- Understood. - Understood.

However, confronting two major sects head-on this time

naturally carries great risks.

I'm not sending you there to die.

We must employ strategies to counter

those martial sects.

You're a great strategist. Please guide us.

Our informants have been embedded in those sects for years.

Now is the time to activate them.

(Xiao Family's Back Mountain)

Baoxiang, easy.

(Mo Yanxia, Hengshan Sect Leader, White-Robed Guanyin)

White-Robed Guanyin Mo Yanxia.

Thank you for your help, Master Mo.

Eliminating culprits is our duty.

Fine, since you're suicidal,

we won't show mercy.

The sea of suffering has no shore.

Avoid bloodshed if you can.

(Tianzheng, Shaolin Leader)

Amitabha.

Master.

Your Wither and Thrive Finger lives up to its reputation.

You've accumulated heavy karma through these killings.

Lay down your weapons and repent.

Old monk, why must you meddle in others' affairs?

(Heart Sutra) Will you stay out of it

if I offer you this?

(Baoxiang, Longhu) The Heart Sutra.

That's right. Bodhidharma's handwritten Heart Sutra.

(Heart Sutra) This is a Buddhist treasure.

We wish to gift it to Shaolin.

If such a treasure were lost again,

it would grieve all Buddhists.

This is a precious sutra indeed.

But don't expect to buy our neutrality with it.

Then let it be destroyed.

- Alas! - You can't bear to see it destroyed.

The sutra is authentic.

Even though you placed gu bugs in it to kill me,

destroying it would be a pity.

So you knew all along.

(Heart Sutra)

These bugs are ferocious.

It requires significant energy to exterminate them.

Red Phoenix.

Master.

- Master. - Master Tianzheng.

I arrived too late.

Your Wither and Thrive Finger is quite something.

But I did manage to wound you.

That palm strike contained my full power.

Even you can't withstand that, old monk.

Amitabha.

Master, let me kill them.

- Baoxiang. - Baoxiang.

Your Yang energy is overflowing.

You'll risk energy deviation if you attack again.

Understood.

Master Tianzheng represents martial virtue.

If you kill him in broad daylight,

aren't you afraid of making Shaolin your enemy?

Afraid?

Soon, Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei will fear crossing Power Gang.

Are you trying to plunge the Daxi martial world into chaos?

Then let's see who rules the martial world.

Do you think we're scared of you?

Kill them.

(Master Taichan, Wudang Leader)

Taichan, you've come.

Excellent.

Tianzheng, how did you get hurt by some juniors?

You haven't improved much.

Old man, you're injured.

I'll guard you

while you recover, then we'll fight together.

I'm sure we can take down these juniors.

Amitabha.

But Master Tianzheng's internal injuries seem severe.

How can he recover so soon?

Others can't, but he can.

His martial skill allows him to kill with destructive power

and heal fatal wounds instantly.

Tianzheng, let me aid your recovery.

Then we'll fight them for some real fun.

So be it.

Lady Mo, please keep them in line.

Come on.

- Hyah. - Hyah.

Hyah.

(Xiao Residence)

You're quite something

to have survived my White Torrent sword energy.

Still, I suggest you leave without causing more trouble.

Wudang techniques excel in defense.

It would take me some effort to leave Tianzheng here

and kill you all.

But don't even dream about attacking

without the legendary prowess Yan Kuangtu possessed back then.

We know we're no match for you.

But thankfully, you're both poisoned.

Energy-dispersing powder?

That's right. This is Yu Kuyu's energy-dispersing powder.

This should prevent you from channeling internal energy.

Such underhanded tricks won't work against...

- Master. - Tianzheng.

What's happening?

The sutra.

I bet you killed the gu bugs

with the Wither and Thrive Finger.

Those gu bugs die and turn into algae.

When you killed them,

they became algae latched onto the sutra

and transferred to your hands.

They revived when you tried

to heal with your internal energy

and transformed back into gu bugs within you.

Then when Master Taichan aided your recovery,

the gu bugs went inside him, too.

We attacked relentlessly and sacrificed our own

to make you use your internal energy and activate the bugs.

Without your Wither and Thrive Finger,

our plan wouldn't work.

You're despicable.

So you anticipated my arrival

and set up this trap for me.

Amitabha.

Father. Mother.

Power Gang.

Qiushui.
