Run, the Japanese are coming

Let's go quickly...

What's the matter?

Please give it back to us

Have mercy on us

I beg you

Sir, have mercy

Sir, have mercy, I beg you

Please give it back to us

Give it back to you?

Sir, look at my hands

I have spent tens of years picking ginseng

I do it to make a living

Now you are taking away my ginseng

do you want to see us starve to death?

Starve to death?

Old man...

You bastards are too cruel

How could we go on living?

I'll fight with my life

You sell to them

This is our old customer

I have always dealt with them

New rules now

you must sell your stuff to Marutani Corporation

Whose rules are those?

Ours

Your mayor has agreed

If you don't comply, look

If you keep grumbling

you'll end up like those two

We won't sell to the Japanese

Stop

If you don't sell to us

then don't come to town

Let's go to the mayor

We can't be bullied by the Japanese...

What's the point? Give in a little

No way

Sir, tell us if this vicinity belongs to the Chinese

or to the Japanese?

The Chinese of course

Then why are they so unreasonable?

They are like robbers

The Japanese are powerful, bear with it

No way, we'll fight to the death with them

Right, as long as we unite

I don't believe we can't beat them

Right, fight

Everyone, pipe down

don't be rash

Being rash would only ruin things, stop...

Why couldn't we fight?

It's precisely because those Japanese want to fight

that they have set up a fighting ring

We are not scared

We could get Ping Bai from the Jixian School

and level their fighting ring

Right...

Gu Lan is a master and Ping Bai isn't his match

Mayor, we can't just let them do as they please

Don't be rash, preserve your lives

I can't take this

I'd rather leave this place

Right... leave

Where to?

Come with me to the mountains if you have guts

Let's go

"Jixian School"

What are you doing here?

Some people came to town and caused trouble

and injured our men

Are you so useless?

Isn't it your responsibility?

Sir, he runs a martial arts school

If it weren't for him

how would the people be so bold?

We Chinese are amicable

you must have bullied them

Fang Ping Bai, are you tired of living?

What do you want?

Let's fight at the ring three days from now

What happens if you lose?

Your call

All you Japanese will leave here

Let's go

Go

Dad

Tie Wa, hide up this manual

Yes

Old Wang, if I lose

take Tie Wa to the mountains to look for Gin Chi

so he could look after him for me

Ping Bai...

Don't worry, maybe I could win

Of course I hope you would

Old Wang, take Tie Wa with you quickly

No, I want to fight with dad

Never mind me, just go

No, dad

Dad

Tie Wa

Chase them quickly

Chase...

Let's go quickly

But what should I do with the manual?

Guard the corpse

Tie Wa might come to see his dad

Yes

The others are searching the town

we must rid the problem completely

Yes

Well?

Nothing

Look over there

Check over there

Quiet

Feng Niou

Brother Tie, what has happened?

Feng, Tie Wa has to leave this place immediately

Go outside and see if there are any Japanese

Yes

No one here, go quickly

We're safe here

Sister Feng, please do me a favor

Bury my dad for me

I have a kung fu manual at home

Please hide it for me

Don't worry, I'll take care of it

If you succeed, I'll wait for you

You'll really wait for me?

Definitely

Thank you

Come on, the Japanese will be here any moment

Let's get out of here quickly

Feng, I have to go

Dad, I keep missing

Let me show you

Good

Tie Wa is here

The Japanese have killed Ping Bai

Uncle, you have to avenge dad

Tie Wa, we promise you

Stay here for now and practice hard

Die Er, take Tie Wa inside for a rest

Brother Tie, you should call me sister

Come on, don't be so vain

Tie Wa was easy on you

Dad, you are always on his side

You are no match for him

I don't believe it. C'mon, let's fight again

Come on

Brother Tie, do you yield?

Yes, you're good

This way I can teach you better

Come, again

Get up

Are you fighting for real?

Sorry...

I don't want to practice anymore

Sister Die...

Sister Die

How are you? Does it hurt?

I'm bleeding, what do you think?

What's on your mind?

It's nothing

Don't pretend, I know you're thinking of Feng Niou

This handkerchief was given to you by her

She has already been married to Da Xiong

why should I still think about her?

But you still cannot forget her

Sister Die, by now you still don't understand me?

How would I understand your feelings?

I only have eyes... for you

What's the latest situation inside the mountains?

Uncle Gin is leading everyone

to pick ginseng and practice martial arts

Tie Wa's kung fu is almost ready

We hope uncle Gin would come from the mountains soon

Feng Niou... come here...

Sit... make yourself comfortable

Do you recognize Old Wang?

Old Wang

You've grown

I heard you both were married

I haven't congratulated you yet

Thank you

Thank you...

What are you doing...

I beg you...

Don't take my things, Sir...

Kneel...

Sir, I beg you

Please have pity on me

Sir, I beg you

Please ask them to leave my stuff alone

Who is that Japanese?

He is Gu Gang, just returned from Japan

Sir, I beg you

Let's go

Sir

It looks like his kung fu is better than his dad's

sooner or later I have to fight with him

Da Xiong, don't be rash

That's right, be patient

When everyone has left the mountain

we'll think of a way to deal with him

I am going back

I won't accompany you

Those Japanese ronin are ruthless bullies

our people find it more difficult to live day by day

especially since Gu Gang's return

Who is he?

He is the son of Gu Lan, have you forgotten?

You fought with him when you were a kid

Tie Wa, go quickly to save Da Xiong

he is about to be killed by Gu Gang

Da Xiong

Fight with me if you have guts

Tie Wa, you want to die for him?

Da Xiong...

That's him?

He is now the leader of the ronin

I've heard that in the past ten years

he has acquired great skills in Japan

Master, I want to go down the mountain

Me too

What for?

To help brother Tie fight

Stop your nonsense

I know you are impatient

This is not the time, Tie Wa

we cannot fight them head on

It's advisable for you to test their strength first

and let sleeping dogs lie

Yes

Pack up and go

Stop

Now attack me all together

Why use so much force? You've injured them

None of your business

we are fighting with the Chinese

we must practice harder, come on

Look

He's gone

Who is this man?

Gin Gang

Yes

Find out for me

Yes

Come on

Bravo

Da Xiong, don't you recognize me? I am Tie Wa

It's you

You're back, let's talk inside

Alright

Feng Niou, look who's here

Have a seat

Tie Wa is here

Tie Wa

How are you all?

How are you?

Thank you

Have a seat

We think of you often

I had wanted to see you earlier

Feng Niou, go get some food and wine

Damn, I can't bear it any longer

We are shorthanded

wait until teacher and the others come down the mountain

How long do we have to wait?

Not too long

Da Xiong, do you know where is

my dad buried?

Yes

I want to pay my respects tomorrow

Right, Feng Niou, I have some business tomorrow

why don't you accompany Tie Wa

"Tomb of Fang Ping Bai"

My dad died two years after you left

I was alone and bore much suffering

I was determined to wait for your return

Then Gu Gang completed his martial arts training and

returned from Japan; He forced me to marry him

I would rather die than agree

He accosted me but Da Xiong helped me each time

Finally I couldn't refuse Da Xiong's good intentions

Sister Feng, stop

I haven't blamed you, you should marry

I know Da Xiong will bring you happiness

I came here today for the manual

You wouldn't understand a woman

I have kept the secret manual well

as you instructed

Even Da Xiong has not seen it

Even he hasn't seen it?

Be quiet

Stop, or I'll kill her

You're all useless

you can't even defeat one person

Get out

Sir

Have you lost again?

Tie Wa's kung fu is good

How does he compare to Da Xiong?

He's much more powerful

The two of them together could be a real problem

I have a plan

What is it?

Go out

Yes

I know about their personal matters

Tie Wa and Da Xiong's wife are very close

we'll capitalize on this relationship

Let them fight against themselves?

Okay, I'll leave this with you then

I'll take up this matter

Lai Zi, come

Mister

This kid is way out of line

Yesterday he went to the grave with Feng Niou

he was so affectionate with her...

These days it's hard to say

one can't tell who's honest by his looks

So what happened afterwards?

I can't even bear to say it

You saw it with your own eyes?

If it hadn't come from madam Chang I won't believe

She said she saw it herself, could there be a mistake?

So shameless

This guy has been cuckolded and doesn't even know it

isn't this a joke?

Yes

If you keep talking rubbish I'll kill you

Paper can't contain fire, you'll soon find out

This scarf has been with me for many years

I'll return it to you now

You are really determined to fight with Gu Gang?

It's fortunate you kept the Thunder Fist manual for me

I'll give it to you once I get home

If I learn dad's kung fu

I'll surely win

This kid is way out of line

Yesterday he went to the grave with Feng Niou

he was so affectionate with her...

What should I do?

This woman, her heart is unfaithful

and is with Tie Wa

Does her husband know?

He is sure to be a cuckold

Who are you referring to?

I didn't mention any names

You fail to have a leash on your wife, yet you hit me?

Right, if you have guts go and hit the adulterer

I just passed by your home

and saw them together

Do you think they could be up to any good?

That's right

Da Xiong, where were you just now?

You two are so close

Speak, what is this?

This is Tie Wa family's secret manual

Why is HIS manual at your place? Speak

That's because...

I asked her to keep it for me ten years ago

Please don't misunderstand

Misunderstand? I know you're up to no good

I ask you, are you mine or his?

What are you talking about? I am yours of course

Mine?

You dare to say such a thing

Why haven't you told me about the manual?

You want me to be killed by Gu Gang?

Da Xiong, if you want to blame anyone, please blame me

She has done nothing wrong

Okay, since you want to stand up for her, I'll beat you

Da Xiong

Move away

Tie Wa

Da Xiong, you're way out of line

It's none of your business

I care not for your family's

lousy secret manual

Take it back

Da Xiong, I can take your beating and scolding

but not your insult on my ancestors

And for that I will not spare you

Fight if you have guts

Alright, if you insist

Let's go to the backyard

Da Xiong, stop fighting

you two grew up together

We're Chinese

Have you forgotten

how Ping Bai died?

Get lost

Tie Wa, do you want to destroy each other?

Don't forget who

killed your father!

Who did all this harm to us?

Tie Wa, go, please, I entreat you

don't come to our home again

Nine catties altogether

Again

Sir

They just brought it here

Is this red ginseng the cheapest?

I think it'd be good to buy it

Okay

Hey... I'll buy all your red ginseng

Thank you...

Go and thank master

Thank you

Sir, the business has been particularly good this year

and we've got so much stock

Sir

So much?

Let them be happy first

then kill them

Brother Tie

You're back

Anything the matter?

It's nothing

What's this?

The Thunder Fist manual dad left me

I followed uncle Wang to the mountain years back

and left it in Feng Niou's custody

You've seen her?

She's with Da Xiong and is doing quite well

You still think of her

When she handed the manual to me

Da Xiong saw it

He hit you?

It's nothing serious

but he misunderstood me

If that's the case

one day he would realize

I hope so

Let's go up the mountain

"Sheng Chang Shop"

I beg you, don't throw them

I beg of you

I beg you

Don't let them throw away my goods

Go to hell

It's your fault you haven't paid us protection money

Business has not been good

How's your kung fu?

It's only been a few days

Speed it up

Sister Die, you are still impatient as ever

I like to get things moving

same with practicing kung fu

It's best if training could be completed in 35 days

The we could leave the mountain

and seek the Japanese for revenge

Things could not be that simple

If I could complete my training in

a year or so I would be grateful

No, I can't wait

Why not?

Don't think the wrong way

I meant I need a year before I could seek the Japanese

No way

Then you want to leave at once?

Bring me downhill to have some fun

Why?

I fear you might get into trouble

I am just concerned for you

Concerned for me?

The Japanese are many

and Gu Gang's kung fu is deadly

You'll be in trouble if you met him

I am not afraid

You go back first

How about you?

I still have some things to do in town

If you don't let me go, I won't let you go too

Don't be naughty

If teacher knew, he'd blame me

If you don't let me go, I'll find a way myself

Please help me

Please, Sir

If you don't pay by tomorrow

I'll burn down your shop

I beg you, please...

Let's go...

What's the matter?

The Japanese wants protection money

How could we lead our lives?

Mom

Go to sleep, child

Dad, I'm hungry

If we don't pay, they'll take our daughter

Mom, save me

Dad

I told you to stop crying, you want to die?

What are you doing, bullying a child?

All you do is cry, damn

your crying brings bad fortune to our family

What's the use of scolding the child?

She's hungry

Money

This is my gambling money from the heaven

What? You still want to go gambling?

I now have money to gamble

You've lost all our money

You should set up a small business

Stop grumbling, it's not your money

Damn you

Who hit me?

Who dares hit you?

Where's the money?

It's here

You only know how to be decadent and depraved

This money is for our livelihood

You're all fools

Useless fools

The money's been stolen and you don't know it

It must be Tie Wa

Before he returned

nothing like this happened

I'll settle it with him

Sir

Why not challenge him to a fight and openly defeat him

then no one would dare to go against you

Good

Sister Die, how come you are here?

You're surprised, right?

Did teacher ask you to come?

No, I came myself

Then...

Is there anything to eat? I am hungry

Why do you keep staring at me?

You must have sneaked out

Even if you don't let me come, I have my way

Let's go

Where to?

Back to the mountain

No

Let's go

No way

You are in danger here

I'll take you back

I went through so much trouble to find you

now you want me to leave? No way

Please listen to me

When I fight with them again, I'll sure seek your help

Really?

Have I ever cheated you?

Why do you have to take me back?

I am going to settle a score with the Japanese

This is something of everyone's concern

I stayed in town to avenge my father

"Jixian School"

Tie Wa...

Who are you looking for?

Tie Wa

What's the matter?

Our master wants to have a duel with him

Give it to me

Tie Wa, if you are a hero

fight with me tomorrow in the ring

Gu Gang

Feng Niou, the mere thought of our misunderstanding plagues me

To resolve it I will fight on behalf of Tie Wa

Da Xiong

What about him?

Is there really no hope?

I can't die like this

I feel sorry for Tie Wa

Tell Tie Wa...

Calm down, this is not good for your health

So strange!

How come the person in the fight ring isn't Tie Wa?

Who delivered the challenge yesterday?

He did

It was me

Did you deliver the challenge personally to Tie Wa?

He wasn't at home, Da Xiong took it on his behalf

Don't worry, he can't escape

Do it as you say

Step down

Da Xiong is dead

Go

Stop

Damn kid, you still wanna play tough at your death?

Today if you don't tell us

where your hideout is

I'll skin you alive

Go to hell

Wait

Come, men

Yes

Bring Feng Niou in here

Yes

Go in

Tie Wa

What happened to you?

You can't touch her, go quickly

Don't be surprised

The best is yet to come

Put him down

Yes

Tie Wa

What do you want to do with him?

Nothing much, just maim his right arm

You want him to be a cripple?

Feng Niou, isn't this a pleasant sound?

Look how Tie Wa's hand burns

what a lovely scream

You are inhuman

The best is yet to come

Dislodge his ligaments

Tie Wa... let me go...

Let me go

For the sake of our friendship

I'll give you one minute

Tie Wa, gather your spirits

Tie Wa, it's me

Feng Niou, how come you're here?

I'll save you

Don't fall for his trap, go quickly

I'll save you, don't worry

Time's up

I beg you, as long as you free Tie Wa

I'll do anything you say

please give me a bit more time

The minute I promised you is up

You cruel thing, you're not human

Tie Wa...

Feng Niou...

Everything's ready

Good

Well, enjoy yourself

You're exceptionally beautiful tonight

Don't worry, I wouldn't eat you

Now Da Xiong is dead and Tie Wa is crippled

there's only me left

What do you want?

The bed is ready

My dream will come true tonight

What's the matter with you?

I wouldn't force you

Are you yielding to me?

Or should I just kill Tie Wa?

Choose

Well?

Let Tie Wa go and I'll do anything you say

You promise?

Come, men

Yes

Release Tie Wa

Have him tailed

and we'll find their hideout

Okay

Master is letting you go

Get lost

Master Gin, big trouble

What is it?

Old Lui said that Feng Niou has committed suicide

Incredible

Why would she do that?

Hush, don't let brother Tie hear this

She yielded to Gu Gang to save Tie Wa

Sister Die

I have to kill Gu Gang

Brother Tie

Sister Die, she died to save me

I must avenge her

You couldn't win even when you were not injured

not to mention you're wounded now

That's right, even if you have to seek revenge

wait till your wounds are healed

After that you have to practice real hard

to defeat Gu Gang

Brother Tie, don't feel sad, take it easy

Brother Tie, you've succeeded

Sir

Have you found out yet?

I know where they're hiding

Take some men at once and fix them

Yes

Where are your men hiding?

Here

No need to chase

Go quickly

Let them die in town

If they go back, they will bring their men here

Wait

Your kung fu is ready

Your punches and kicks have real power

You don't believe me?

Come, let's try

I'm sure one kick from you will break this tree in two

Go on

Are you alright?

It can't be that easy

You can't treat it as a tree

Imagine it is Gu Gang

You must assume this tree is your enemy

He destroyed your home and killed your father

He also crippled your hand

Go on

Brother Tie

You've succeeded

Where are you going?

Tell dad to fight back

Sell your ginseng to our Marutani

Sir, the ginseng merchant refused to sell us the goods

they are fighting outside

They don't look like locals

Send more men

Dad

Look for Gu Gang

You dare come here?

If you want to see who is better

it would be fair to fight in the ring

The Chinese you killed before, was it also in the ring?

You've also killed many of my men in town

Right, I'll kill you in the ring tomorrow

Come here

Sir

His kicks are lethal

We must keep him from attending the duel

Yes

Wait

Do it at night

"Jixian School"

Who is it?

Your leg is wounded

You won't be able to win tomorrow

As long as I live

I won't let Gu Gang get away so easily

Gu Gang

Why did you send someone to hurt me?

Stop talking nonsense

I want you dead

Brother Tie

Brother Tie

I owe it all to your encouragement, I'd say

No, it's you who has saved the lives of us all!
