The Iron Armour is the most mysterious among all the techniques of Kung Fu.

He who masters it it can even

withstand swords and stabbings from spears.

One is invulnerable.

The conditions to achive this are extreme concentration

and a perfect breathing technique.

It is the most difficult of all techniques.

In the human body

there are 108 pressure points.

36 of these can be paralyzing

and will cause fatal injury.

If you want to learn the Iron Armour,

you begin with breathing exercises to obtain the perfect control over your body.

There are 8 levels of breathing techniques.

Whoever masters the oxygen supply, can then take control over the

air circulation within the entire body,

and thus building up a protection

making you invulnerable.

But one point must always remain open, the breath gate.

That is a part of the body

that will always remain unprotected.

The Eagle Claw was invented by Ju Feng during the Ming dynasty.

It has 108 handles.

These were developed from 50 basic attacks.

This fighting style focuses on the bones,

sinews, muscles and the more fragile joints.

The whole strength of this technique lies in the fingertips.

The touch needs to be soft and hard at the same time.

The Eagle's Claw waits until the opponent pauses between 2 actions.

At that point, he will change his breath control.

And that gives the Eagle's Claw an opening in which to strike.

The Eagle's Claw is the most deadly of all Kung Fu techniques.

Let's get that sword! Attack!

My name is Chow Wu Fung, and I've lived here for 8 years.

But during that time, I have never seen anyone fight as good as you.

Therefore I would like to know your name.

My name is Hu, Hu Lung.

- I'm pleased to meet you! - What is going on here?

- What do you want? - General Chow, forgive me.

I did not immediately recognize you, I'm sorry!

- Turn around. - Yes!

Let's go!

General, I'm just a simple farmer.

I doubt that.

I saw how good you are. That is the technique of a Kung Fu master.

And it is just something a simple farmer don't learn.

It takes years of training.

You have my respect, good sir.

There is a favour I wish to ask you. If you will give me the time.

And If you'll allow me to.

Please let me look at the sword you have with you.

Sure.

General Chow, please.

It's a beautiful sword.

Excellent.

It is a first class sword.

Far too good for it's owner.

General Chow, thank you for your hospitality. I must go now.

Good bye!

Wait a minute!

l am the first security officer for Minister Lu.

l recruit his assistants.

Minister Lu?

Is that the same commander, who once won the big battle

over the Japanese?

That's him.

At the time he is seriously concerned

for the safety of the Ming government.

Therefore he has asked me to recruit a group of skillful fighters.

And after what I've seen,

how well you handle your sword,

I think that you're just the man i'm looking for.

Thank you, thank you!

So let's drink up!

For the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty!

To the Ming Dynasty!

Show your respects to Minister Lu.

It is a great honor for me, my Lord!

I'm flattered. Get up, get up.

My Lord...

All these elaborate Ming ceremonials.

It's really one of our failings.

Hu Lung is the man of whom I spoke of earlier.

Ah... l see.

Excellent, he's really good!

It has never happened before that an opponent was faster than me.

We need such men in order to protect the emperor.

We would be unbeatable. Yes.

Tell me, how do you know of my fighting style?

Well, that was very easy for me to see,

Minister Lu.

After just those few attacks?

The style that you used, is one of the 32 Ming Sung styles

and belongs to the classic techniques.

It's the same style I studied since I was 6 years old,

so that's how I knew it.

But your style is not one of the 32 Sung styles.

As opposed to you, I used Si Sen style.

It's more effective.

I see. You're better than I am.

Please tell me which one of all these styles is the best,

in your opinion.

I would prefer to keep the answer to myself,

if you don't mind.

Your answer will not please Minister Lu.

I think you ought to reply.

Each fighting style has its own advantages and disadvantages.

None of them is perfect.

The Lu Cheng strike technique is for example unsuitable for defense.

And Lee Wang's kicking style is inferior to the Eagle Claw.

Therefore, it is the wisest to combine the best of the various styles,

so their strengths cancel out all their weaknesess.

If one develops his own style,

that benefits from Si Sen and all other styles combined,

it will make you a human fighting machine.

An expert in defense and attack.

Yes, you're right. Now I would like to test out your skills.

Let's go to the courtyard and practice.

As you wish.

I'm sorry, I didn't expect to strike so firmly!

Come on, get up!

Assassin!

- Minister Lu! - It must've been General Chow, get him!

The assassin fled, get after him!

What are you waiting for?

- Don't just stand there! - Silence!

Minister Lu treated you like family, even made you the head security officer

and in return for his kindness you killed him!

Take this man down!

General Wei, you're committing a big mistake!

This is yet to be figured out.

Bring him to the courthouse!

Sir!

- Get off me. - Move on!

I'll take him in to custody.

By the orders of the Minister, I will deal with this man.

Why is that?

Because he is the murderer of Minister Lu,

and for this crime there is only one sentence. Death!

After him! This way!

Spirits of my ancestors!

They have sentenced me to death because they think I killed a man.

They want to kill me and the real murderer has escaped.

Help me find him, wherever he might hide!

Help me catch Hu Lung, and so to avenge the death of my Lord!

Punish these men, they have betrayed my trust!

- Off with their heads! - Yes, sir!

Lord, show mecy! Please let us free!

Mercy, my Lord! Let us go!

- Take them away! - Please, set us free!

It is clear that General Chow murdered Minister Lu!

The second best killer in our country.

And therefore he must die!

Send messengers to all provinces!

General Chow is to be arrested and executed immediately.

And those who would help him will die with him!

Call Sheng Yu here!

Now, Shen Yu. Do you have any idea where Chow might be hiding?

My Lord!

I'm assuming that he is an agent of either the Rebels or the Japanese.

His actions indicate that he is revolting to destroy the state security.

So he has either fled to the Japanese in Chin Chan,

or to the Rebel forces in Tai Hu.

Once the wanted posters have been set up throughout the country,

he will no longer be like the rat who avoids getting caught.

To all authorities in the provinces,

The traitor General Chow and his assistants Hu Lu

murdered Minister Lu.

Their escape route leads to Kun Lung.

They are believed to be heading towards the mountain regions to meet their accomplices.

There are a variety of people I hate to death!

Traitors, rebels and troublemakers!

Look at this medal.

It was a gift from the Emperor, because I have served him faithfully.

Now I must bring him the corpse of Chow,

or I'll fall from grace. That would be the end of me.

l want to help catching Chow! Please instruct me.

You are the best fighter of all my bodyguards.

Only you are a match to General Chow's Kung Fu.

So ride off and bring me back the head of this traitor!

I will see to that you will get very well rewarded and promoted.

I need no reward, my Lord!

Stand up!

My Lord, I was raised with Minister Lu's own motto.

Loyalty.

And he was like a father to me.

I shall catch his killer for his sake!

And not because of any reward.

Well said, I admire the size of your heart!

Well then, just remember this.

General Chow must be killed!

Your horse will be ready at dawn.

No, I will ride out tonight.

Yes, yes, I'm coming!

- Tsu Cheng! - Who are you, what are you doing here?

Tsu Cheng!

Tsu Cheng!

Stop this nonsense at once!

This can not be true! It's General Chow. Come here, we have to apologize to him!

General Khan spoke on my behalf many years ago and saved my life.

If he had not helped me that time, you'd been a widow today!

Stand up please, I do not want you to kneel before me!

Tell me, have you recently seen

a Kung Lung fighter passing by here?

Yes, there was a stranger here. He called himself Hu Lung.

He came here not long ago from the capital.

Before he left he boasted that

he would return there soon as a rich man.

General, I have to warn you!

A squad of soldiers are hunting for you.

Please come in and have a rest!

Shit!

Listen to me, soldiers!

Hu Lung is the killer, I have nothing to do with this!

Don't worry, I will spare you today,

but one day I will have my revenge!

My friends, it's done. Let's toast!

- I'll drink to that! - Cheers!

For our success!

Hu Lung, I hope that you won't forget about us.

We could make you an official in the capital!

Do not worry, when General Chow is turned in,

we will all live like kings!

I hear that General Chow is coming after me?

Is that really true?

Yes, it's true. He is on his way here.

But you don't need to worry.

We have planned something for him.

Some good friends of ours have set up an ambush.

There will be no escape for your general.

We just need to sit here and wait for the news

of his death.

Hey, Doctor!

Those needles, what can they cure?

He is a master of acupuncture.

Ah, then I could indeed have use for his services!

Listen! Do you think you could cure me?

Ofcourse. I am sure that I could provide you with some relaxation

if your travels have made you too tired.

That's what I would like. Let's see what you can do.

Alright, if you'll just wait for a moment.

- That's it. - Thank you, thank you!

Alright, take it off.

Bad luck to be me, the needles are too big!

I have sworn an oath to not kill.

But it seems you're forcing me to!

You had an easy time taking care of these amateurs.

Now you'll have to deal with the boss, you rat!

Speak or die!

I will only ask this once. Where is Hu Lung?

He's on his way to Kun Lung.

Who's there?

I won't kill you.

I'll just bring you back to the court.

Chow Wu Fung, you really are a devious killer!

- Now we will settle this matter! - Back off!

Who are you?

I am the man who will kill you.

l come on the behalf of the Minister.

Ah, so you're in this together!

Why did you let him go?

Who is he?

You helped him, so don't play dumb.

He's the one you've hired to kill Minister Lu!

Who are you?

Or are you ashamed of your name?

I'll say it again,

I am your executioner sent by the ministry.

Shen Yu.

I've heard of you.

But I never thought that the famous Shen Yu

would work as a shabby killer.

It seems like the great General Chow

is not only a killer, but a slanderer too!

You planned well, you and Hu Lung!

To kill Minister Lu, and now me.

Because I'm the only one who knows of the secret that can destroy you.

Stop pretending. It won't be of any help to you!

This man is my prisoner.

Get out of my way, you can't have him.

Who says so?

You will let me have him!

I warn you!

If you try to interfere,

I will not take your age in account.

We'll see about that.

It's been 2 weeks, and we haven't heard a single word from Shen Yu!

My Lord, Shen Yu always completes such things alone.

I have heard rumors that General Chow is still at large and was framed.

Do you believe in these rumors?

I don't think so.

We have all the evidence pointing at his guilt.

But I have my suspicions since things are not going according to plan!

- You go to Kun Lung to investigate. - Yes, sir!

- Teacher! - I disowned you. What do you want?

- You failed me! - Teacher!

I beg you, help me!

You have been expelled from the clan.

Nobody knows you anymore!

Teacher, you have to help me! Teacher, you must!

Nobody else except you can beat him!

- Who are you talking about? - Chow Wu Fung.

Then I've already saved you once.

Really?

It seems that there is more than one man looking for you.

- Hello there! - Yes, what can I do for you?

Could you give me some water?

Sure, come in!

- Here you are. - Thank you.

- Are you sick? - Just a bit of a headache.

It's not so bad. Say, do you live here alone?

No, I live here with my sister,

she's gone to the market.

Ah well, I'll go again.

Is your sister at home?

No, she's still shopping.

Shopping?

I hope for your sake that you're telling the truth!

Now, listen well!

I am attending to marry your sister today.

You and your family should consider yourselves honored that i chose you.

That's entirely up to my sister.

Right. We'll be back later.

Sister!

Shi La, I've been looking for you.

I have prepared everything for our wedding today.

Tan Ku, the fact that your family is so rich

makes no impression on me. So get out of here!

You hear that?

Shi La is not interested in my generous offer.

Hey, you! You can have her.

But only if you manage to defeat me with 10 blows!

10 blows? I don't think that you can stand even one!

If you can't do it, you'll have to leave her alone from now on!

Fine, but don't blame me if you start to cry.

Come on then!

Brother!

Come on!

Get him!

Now go home to mom!

Not bad, you bastard! And now you will learn something from me!

Namely, that I never keep my promises, no matter to whom I have given them!

Take her!

Get out of my way!

Stop it!

What do you want?

For a lousy rat like you, I have since long crossed the road!

Beat him up!

Quickly, get out of here!

Thank you very much for your Help!

Please let me know your name!

It's okay, no need to thank me.

- My name is Chow. - Oh, Mr. Chow, You fight well!

You defend yourself well!

That technique, it's Iron Armour?

Exactly, my grandfather...

He just speaks nonsense.

- I must go. - But why?

Why not stay here for a few days?

I'm afraid the men could come back again.

Sister, Mr. Chow is sick, he was taking herbs.

Mr Chow, if you would give us the honor,

we would be happy to let you stay here.

Excuse me!

Mr. Chow, please stay with us!

If you tell me who your grandfather is, then I'll happily stay.

- But... you'll keep it a secret? - OK.

His name is Kung Si Sen.

What? He is one of the 3 pupils of Iron Armour Chen!

Who is also known as the Iron Lord.

Yes, that's right!

Yes, he was killed.

It remains a mystery to me, how he was defeated.

His killer was never found.

Hey, listen!

- I'll learn from you, and you'll learn from me? - Agreed.

Teacher, Teacher! Sit down!

Who paid you for the killing of Minister Lu?

That I can not tell you, I have taken an oath.

If I tell you, I'm as good as dead!

You don't have to speak.

I've written 2 Names on my palms.

I will show them to you, don't speak. Just look me in the eyes

when you read the right name!

So it was him!

Brother, this time you've really gone too far!

My God!

Hu Lung, I'm leaving,

but you stay here.

Don't leave the house, otherwise you're a dead man!

Good!

That was first class!

- Let's take a break. - Yes.

Remember, it is mainly your attitude that matters,

- and not just your skill. - Aha.

When I am grown up,

I would like to be an upright fighter like you.

Very good, you be upright.

There is a saying in our village:

You must sing to keep out sorrows.

A horse that remains in the stable, will soon be paralyzed.

Sharpen swords to keep off rust.

And look out for the women, then you'll remain a man.

Brother Chow, yesterday evening you told us the story of a man who was

pursued by misfortune. Shi La says that the man is you.

She's a very smart girl.

She says you're a good man.

So I'm gonna teach you the art of the Iron Finger.

The Iron Finger?

The only technique

that can crack the Iron Armour!

My sister said we should teach you how to use it.

Oh?

We should start right away.

People! This monkey is a famous sword fighter!

Nonsense!

People, this was the highlight of our event.

I hope you enjoyed it.

What you don't know is that

this monkey is already over 60 years old.

Ever since I was 10,

I've been on the road with my little friend, visiting fairs.

And thanks to this herbal wine, I have preserved the strength of his youth.

My wine heals muscle aches, Fever, rheumatism...

Yes, folks, there is almost nothing that it can't heal.

- Will you try someone? - Yes, I will.

I was, beaten green and blue by my wife. Do you see that?

Your wife? I don't believe that.

Well, you're right. I had an argument with a drunk.

He seems to have not been too drunk.

For who ever made that bruise could have easily killed you.

Do you understand? You only get such bruises from the blows

of a Kung Fu master.

And if that's the case, you can consider yourself very luck!

What nonsense! You're just saying that because your medicine is no good!

Who says it isn't?

That's all. Well?

I have no more pain!

Well, maybe this juice is too good.

- Pay up. - Give it to me!

And now pay for the wine!

Now it hurts again!

Quick, let's get out of here! - Come on!

You're here?

Chen Yu, you have a job to do!

What are you wasting time here?

Tell me first, why are you here?

By orders from our ministry, I'm here to keep an eye on you.

- Whether you like it or not. - I don't!

Here i can mind my own business, you're only interfering!

I have orders, so I'll stay.

Well then, see if you can keep up with me.

Well, have you collected your reward yet?

Help me!

This is the murderer General Chow! Help me!

Shi La! There is a man looking for brother Chow outside.

- Oh? Ask him in. - Fine.

This is my sister.

Please sit down, I'll make tea.

Is Chow here?

He's not. But i think he'll be back really soon. Do sit down.

- Have some tea. - Thank you.

Are you here because you are a friend of Chow's?

No.

You're relatives of him?

Oh, no.

He just helped us when a man from the city turned up here

who wanted my sister and insulted her.

Chow has taught me Kung Fu.

He has a very special style.

He told us that he's on the lookout for a man who is hiding,

because that man is the killer of Minister Lu.

- Who is it? - Hu Lung.

Chow says he's a dangerous killer, and he needs to bring him in.

- Brother Chow, your friend is here! - You?

You see, I can find you anywhere!

Let's talk outside.

Over there.

No, not here!

In case we fight, I will not want the boy to see it!

I want to know if you have found Hu Lung?

If so, I'll take you both with me.

If you've got him, I'll be a witness,

because he's the murderer.

You come with me!

I'll have to say goodbye, at least.

Well, you do that.

But remember, try to fool me

and you're dead!

Don't move, the game is up!

What do you want?

This is a wanted man

with a big reward on his head!

If that's what you want, then you cuff me.

- Give these to him, quickly! - Yes.

Chow! Brother Chow!

You forgot these!

Thank you!

I must go, but I will come back.

Let's take a rest.

Do you want a drink?

He will be brought to justice!

I want his head. It's easier to carry.

- Get out of my way! - I will not.

He'll be interrogated, and if killed he will speak very little.

You are violating your orders! You are supposed to kill him!

- So do it! - I spit on these bogus orders!

I've come here to avenge my old teacher.

And in order to do that, I need to learn more.

You can't stop me, I'd rather kill you myself!

You traitor!

Wait! Leave him alone!

With that sword of his, he can't harm me!

I'll dismember you!

Want to try it again?

You can attack me 10 times. If You're lucky, I'm dead.

And you can share the reward with him.

If not, then I'm free to go.

Damn you!

Come on!

That's your 9th attack. You only have a single strike left to win!

And then I shall leave you.

That's it! Good bye.

Hold it! You will not disappear so easily!

Give me just 3 days and if I'm still alive,

I will bring you Hu Lung.

I promise.

Very well! I trust you.

- You have 3 days. - You can rely on me.

The Iron Finger was especially developed to break the Iron Armour.

The whole body strength is concentrated in the fingertips.

It's used to attack the pressure points of the body,

and to interfere with the opponents breath control

thus, revealing his vulnerable point.

Strike!

Good evening, my Lord. I'll unlock.

- Wake me up early in the morning. - Yes, my Lord!

I wonder who put this plate here.

What does it all mean?

Brother!

I've been waiting for you. You've been working so late.

Yes, I have to earn my pay,

no matter how late the hour.

That's why the hermit Tao refused to become an official.

Brother! I'm so worn out

by all these heavy duties, and I have decided to retire at last.

But I do not think you can do it.

At least not any time soon.

You still have a great case to clarifiy.

The murder of Minister Lu.

I have sent out orders to the officials of all provinces

to catch general Chow Wu Fung.

Do you really believe that he is the killer, brother?

I really hope you're not being careless in this case.

The killer certainly has a teacher who will help him

and it could be very dangerous.

Why did you let yourself get involved?

I have no fear.

His master can not be stronger than me.

You can never know!

The course of time can change a lot.

You can't always trust your luck.

Listen!

In your place, I would not take any chances

and try to arrange some deal in the affairs to come.

Hmm, so what do you want?

I would like to be one of the great lords of the country.

No problem, that can be arranged very quickly!

However, remember what our teacher said.

You will get nothing on this earth for nothing.

Ah, it will be easy for us to reach an agreement.

Let's meet early tomorrow, say around 11 o'clock.

And I'll hand over Hu Lung.

Hu Lung? Is he not in Ku Lung?

I know exactly the hiding place of Hu Lung at the moment.

Do not worry!

And when I leave here, I shall go directly to him.

I will deliver him to you, rely on me!

- Teacher! - How dare you disobey my command,

- and leave the house? - I'm sorry!

But a friend came by and told me that my mother is seriously ill.

And I assumed that if you would've been there,

you certainly would have given me permission

to leave the house.

Of course! You're always thinking up excuses.

Teacher. Why are you here?

- Because of you. - Because of me?

The Minister's intention is to arrest you tomorrow morning.

Teacher, Teacher! Save me!

He and I were both pupils of Iron Armour Chen.

But he was too strong, I was never able to defeat him.

And now he has learned a new technique.

He has mastered the Eagle Claw.

Idiot!

Do you imagine that you could run away now?

He will find you anywhere!

Let me go then, I'll kill him.

Are you crazy?

General Chan has always staid out of my way.

And he dominated the Iron Armour!

It is twice as strong as ever.

Noone can beat him so easily.

And with your skill, you wouldn't even last 5 minutes.

Tell me, does that mean I have to die?

- No, because I know where he is vulnerable. - Where?

In his throat. That is the only place where he can be fatally injured.

We make it appear that you are tied up to 2 posts

and if he attacks you,

you'll pull out the two daggers from the quiver on your back

and thrust them in to his throat!

But there is one thing I don't understand.

Why is the Minister so unscrupulous and power hungry?

The Emperor is already weak.

And the Minister wants his seat for himself.

He wants to be emperor and rule over our country.

But first he had to get rid of Minister Lu,

because Lu was too loyal to the Emperor.

Thanks to Lu, the dynasty remained in power.

But Minister Lu is dead.

Why kill the Minister and not the Emperor?

He is very careful in his plans.

He must make sure that you can no longer speak.

And once he has you out of the way, he's going to strike, I guarantee it!

You are the last obstacle in his path,

and this obstacle will be removed tomorrow.

Minister!

Hu Lung.

You look pathetic!

Did your teacher bind you firmly?

Your Lordship, please release me!

I'm sorry, you have to die!

You know too many secrets!

But my Lord, you gave me the order

to kill Minister Lu, and...

in return, you promised me wealth and power!

I promised? You fool yourself too easily!

You are a fool!

If your own teacher betrays you, then what can you expect from me?

You have lost!

You lying bastard!

Yes, I suppose I am. And now I shall do you another favour.

I shall strike you once with the greatest accuracy.

You will only suffer a second.

Stop it!

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. You were wrong.

You thought that my throat

is still the vulnerable part of my body.

But years of training has made me invincible.

There is no fighting technique today that could kill me.

Do not be so sure, you still have a weak spot!

I know you well enough.

Your weak spot will be found quickly enough!

Before you do, I will have already defeated you!

Look at that, what a coincidence!

You tried to hide your dirty plot to Chow,

but now he knows.

Brother. We fought our battles throughout 50 years.

But you have never managed to

defeat me even once.

You are a weakling!

You have no power!

You are a disgrace to the Shrine of the Iron Armour!

And you are full of envy!

I know what you want.

You begrudge me of being the master of Eagle Claw.

You want my rank.

So you want to see me dead!

You're a fool if you think you can defeat me!

You are mistaken, even at that point I am invincible!

Brother, you're just in time!

It's okay, we'll guard you!

Who are you?

We are rebels against Ming. I am the leader!

- Leave us alone! - Right.

You stay here. We still have a lot to discuss!

Look at that!

You are probably the playmates of the corpse back in the woods!

Brother, I wish to take him on first!

No, we'll draw for it!

As you wish.

4, 4, 1, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 3 ..

Don't bother. I'll take you both on at once!

What, he'll take us both on?

That would be too easy!

Exactly! So Go on! I start at 5, 1...

I won!

I have come because your 3 days have elapsed.

I know, I am your prisoner.

Who are you, and why are you meddling with our business?

Because you protect Hu Lung,

and because I can't stand watching dirty rats like you.

Go!

Thank you!

- I'm ready. We can go when you want. - Good.

But my job is not yet done.

- I also need the other one. - Who?

The man who you accuse. Hu Lung.

- Really? - I have to find out what really happened.

Where is Hu now?

- Leave us alone! - Fine.

- He has gone home. - Where does he live?

It can't be far off, probably in the next village.

Let's go.

Mama, Ma, Mama, I'm back! Mom!

Yes? Hu Lung!

It's me, I'm back!

Hu Lung, you came home!

Sure, here I am.

Ma, I brought you something from the city.

Here is a cake!

- A cherry pie. - Thanks, Thank you!

Mom, I have some good news. I will soon become very rich!

Yes, he told me.

- Who told you? - Your friend told me about it.

- My friend? - Yes.

You will find, Long Hu, that it would be for the best if you come with me now!

Don't let her hear this.

Right. We will discuss things on the way.

Do you have to have to go again?

Mom, I'll be right back.

You can choose how you want to die.

You do not have to kill me!

You are already as good as dead.

There he is!

We're too late.

You see? This was given to me by the Emperor as a gift.

This is the end. I have no hope left.

Put the cuffs on!

We'll rest here.

Tell me. If I were to kill you now, would you blame me for it?

You released me, saved my life.

Yet, I was not able to prove my innocence.

That is fate, I wouldn't blame you.

Well then, is there anything else you would like to say?

It is indifferent to me whether I have to die now.

But I hate whoever is behind all this.

l just hope that you will find him.

Do you have the slightest idea who it might be?

I have no idea. But you have to catch him!

- Go now! - What, I'm free?

- Don't ask any questions! - But why?

Go on, otherwise you'll be killed.

So go! And quickly!

But if you take me to court,

perhaps I could prove my innocence.

You would be dead before you got there.

As you wish, but how will you justify releasing me?

Leave it up to me, go now!

As a man of honor, I can not go.

I will not let you down.

I don't care about your idea of honour.

I just want you to go now!

I have no time to argue with you.

Either you go or I'll kill you on the spot!

You save my life a 2nd time. I will not forget this!

We'll meet again. Thank you!

The Minister's bodyguard!

I have now been reciprocated.

What do you want?

Well, the Minister has sent me.

He knew that you would probably take this route.

Is he here?

He's over there waiting for you.

Come on!

Your Honor.

Well, I heard that you captured General Chow.

That is why I sent for you.

It's true, I did succeed in taking him as a prisoner.

But I let him run again.

But why?

I have found out who the real killer is.

- Who? - I think you know already.

Well. Obviously you're a very smart person.

Therefore we can stop this charade now.

Who are they?

They are 4 of my most capable bodyguards.

They are very interested to see how well you can fight.

They might learn something from you.

It would be a shame if you made them wait for too long!

They come directly from training camp

and are so far unbeaten.

I think that even you will have some problems with them.

You are really good!

Your spear technique is admirable!

I did not want to kill them,

but I had to defend myself. I beg for your forgiveness!

No need for that.

A victor will never apologize.

You have not yet won, Shen Yu.

First you must defeat me!

It seems your skills are very sought for here.

Well, now we are only two left.

I guess it's between us now, my friend.

You have something to tell me?

Yes, I would like to see your medal again.

The one the Emperor gave you.

Oh, I don't have it with me. It's at home.

Ah, home.

Then what is this?

That shows me that you know everything.

I'm sure we can work something out somehow.

Join me!

And I will make you richer beyond your wildest dreams!

Stop it!

You imagine that everyone is as greedy as you are!

You're wrong!

Just the thought of touching your gold

makes me sick!

You talk like a truthful Ming supporter!

You should remember that your Emperor doesn't have much longer to rule!

I was born a Ming and I stay faithful to the Emperor.

You will never get me over to your side.

And traitors like you, I will always fight, where ever I may meet them!

l understand. Then I have no other choice.

I must kill you.

I'm sure you've already heard of my technique.

Yes, you are the master of Eagle Claw.

No, I'm much more than that!

I am also the unbeaten Master of the Iron Armour!

All right. No more talking!

Come here!

You see, now I know too!

Chow, you shouldn't have come here!

You saved my life, that is something I could never forget!

I followed you. I could not watch

you fight this beast alone!

General Chow!

Now you're finally here.

I have long desired to stand against you.

Well done! Now you too can get to know my technique!

Watch out for the Eagle's Claw!

This is the Iron Finger!

It matches your Iron Armour!

You did not expect that. Good!

Where did you learn it?

That you'll never know, certainly not from me!

I know ofcourse, that I can't break through your armour yet.

But I can find your weak spot

and then it's over!

There are 108 possibilities!

So it won't be that easy!

But of these 108 points, only 36 are lethal.

And you have reduced those to 5.

So I suppose the ones remaining are the forehead,

the temples, the throat, the armpits and your testicles.

One of those places.

Right, then have a look!

It's not the forehead or temples.

And it's not the throat.

Help me reach the armpits!

It's not the armpits.

I have absolutely no weak spot!

You lie! You need to have one!

Brother Chow, strike him in the testicles!

Who are you?

You think you're the only one who knows that technique?

Who the hell are you?

The relatives of a man you killed many years ago.

Kung Si Sen.

Our grandfather.

And now we have come to avenge him.

We have waited long enough for this moment!
