Zu was a range of mountains in the ancient Bazu region of Western China.

Today it forms part of Sichuan province.

Bazu was of great strategic importance in ancient China,

and was always the first place of unrest in times of war,

and the last to be subdued in times of peace.

In Chinese legends and folklore, Bazu also had a mysterious side.

There were mmoured to be immortal heroes and legendary swordsmen

living amid its numerous exotic peaks and ancient temples.

This is where our story "Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain" begins.

It is the fifth century.

China has been suflbring from decades of civil wars and unrest.

Get me the scout!

Advance scout reporting back, commanders.

Where are the Yellow Forces?

Defeated by our advance party, sir, and have fled in total disorder.

They went into Sam-Jeung Creek.

Wonderful! We'll continue to attack by river, and wipe them out!

Sir, they're already disorganised, and Sam-Jeung Creek is very populated.

Many innocents would die.

Then we'll continue attacking by land.

You lead the way. Spare no-one.

Yes, Commander.

The land route is too dangerous and risky.

Dik Mingkei, I want you to lead us by the river as planned. Let's go!

No. By water will take too long and they will escape.

By land. Let's go!

How dare you!

No, by land.

By water. Dik Mingkei, who are you going to obey?

- Both of you. - That's insubordination! I'll kill you!

- Then, neither of you! - Kill him!

Kill him!

That's not what I meant. Don't attack me! I'm one of you!

There's a boat.

Take me across!

No.

Why?

The sword behind me says so.

Out of the way, boatman!

Western army?

Eastern army.

This isn't a battlefield. Let's not fight.

Fine. Drop your sword.

- Drop yours. - You first.

Look, gentlemen. No need to argue. l'll count three-two-one.

Then you both put your swords down together.

Are you ready?

Three...

You said you weren't going to fight.

Four generations of my ancestors were killed by Eastern soldiers. I want revenge!

Big deal! Six generations of my ancestors were slaughtered by Western soldiers.

How do you make up for that!

By the sword!

I'm tougher than your sword! We'll do it your way!

- l slash! l slash! l slash! - I block! I block! I block!

You're in trouble. My back-up is here.

How do you know they're yours? They could be mine.

That's easy. Check the colour of the arrows.

You go get one.

You didn't bring one in. How do you know the colour?

I can detect it by touch.

Yeah, right!

If you don't believe me, look.

Right. You look first!

They're from neither side.

It's the Yellows.

- Bow or stem? - Stern.

Get them!

Don't be afraid.

I'm tired of fighting - I've fought too much in the past few years.

I don't want to fight you. I'm off.

I don't want to fight.

- Hey! - I'm not fighting!

You forgot your water bottle, you idiot!

It was really my water bottle.

You all right?

For a big guy you scare easy!

With your stony face, I didn't know if you were a good or bad guy.

Where are you from?

A small village left of Sam-Lei Pou in East Nanan.

Really? I'm from there too, but the right village.

No wonder you look familiar.

You're easy to get along with.

Of course we get along. Even though we wear different colours, we're just people.

Everything's a mess now because the country doesn't work for the people.

The atmosphere between us would be different if we were on the battlefield.

Here they come again!

Kill!

Kill!

What a mess! So many colours!

Forget colours. Pretend to fight. They won't see us.

Why are you fighting for real?

I said we're pretending.

Don't fight so hard.

Are we still fighting?

You front, me back, and then we'll try to escape.

Move, then.

Stop showing off, stupid! Let's leave!

Stupid, you're fighting hard again! Oops!

That showed him.

I'm over here!

Don't worry! Help is on the way!

Us three against him!

You're mistaken! I'm on your side! Get him!

It's us six against three!

Chase them!

It's us nine against six!

It's us fifteen against him!

Let's slash!

Let's get out of here!

Let's pretend we're dead.

Don't move. Let them fight it out.

When do you think they'll be finished?

Pretty soon, I hope.

You're pretending to be dead too!

The Yellows again! Get going!

- You, soldier! - Yes?

Don't let the Blue Shirt get away!

Catch him!

You go. I'll hold them off.

We bonded in battle. I can't leave you!

Don't be silly! One dead is better than two dead. Run!

Get going!

Who pushed you down there?

Mother, rescue me!

Rescuer, please don't leave!

Is there something you want to say?

You must know the world is now plagued with destruction, wars and death.

Honourable Sir, with your fighting skills, you must help the people.

This is an era of strife and civil war. Everyone is living in unstable times.

But man has brought misery upon himself.

Men slaughter each other without respect for human life.

I don't know what the world's come to. We cannot change human nature.

Human nature is totally corrupted.

While you are still good, why not retreat to the mountains and live in peace?

Please don't say that, Honourable Sir. If we all try, I'm sure we'll find peace.

How young and upright you are. You're teaching me.

The times are against you. Get out now or you'll end up like them.

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

These heroic types always appear and disappear unexpectedly.

Maybe he's testing me.

Okay, I'll just sit here and wait for him.

I waited and you finally came.

You're waiting for me? Idiot!

It's dangerous. The King of Hell's waiting for you!

King of Hell? Oh, I see...

That's why there are so many skulls. There must have been a big battle.

Not a battle. The skulls bear the mark of the Evil Sect.

They needed to sacrifice many children to make their black magic work.

- These are young boys' bones. -Young boys' bones?

Now you know why I wanted you out of here.

Because I'm a male virgin?

That was close.

Wrong. It doesn't matter if you are pure or not.

The Evil Sect will not let you live.

They wouldn't believe you were pure, anyway.

Tell me...

Why did you wait for me?

- I want to be your disciple. - I never take disciples.

Now's your chance to change bad habits.

Teacher.

Teacher?

Teacher!

Teacher!

- I'm not your teacher! - Teach me martial arts!

Once I've learnt from you, I'll help the poor and protect the innocent.

I'm not taking you on.

Teacher!

Teacher!

- Teacher! - Keep that up and I'm gone!

Okay, I'll stop saying it.

It's the Blood Crows! Strike!

Stars shine in the heavens.

The moon lights up the earth.

The Evil... The Evil...

They're on our side.

Hiu Yu of Kwan-Leun.

Ding Yan of Nam-Hoi.

Ding Yan.

Reverend Hiu Yu.

- So your surname's Ding? - None of your business!

It's been ten long years.

Did Cheung Mei ask you to come?

My dear monk...

He was afraid you'd have difficulties with things here so he asked me to assist you.

If two Blood Crows rattle you,

how will you cope with the Blood Demon?

Damn you! Praise Buddha!

The Blood Demon's powers have increased lately.

It's wiser that we team up. What do you say?

We Buddhists are peaceful. The Evil Sect is based at the Sek-Lam Ancient Temple.

Even Buddha would be angry. How could I not be?

For three years, my idiot student and I have been tracking them.

Now their trail leads us to you.

Evil chi is so strong here, there's more than a few evil disciples with us.

What do you think?

Don't bother asking. I work alone.

Each man for himself. You go your way...

You stubborn fool!

"I go my way, each goes his way."

Yat Jan!

- Yes, Teacher! - Boy!

-Yes, Honourable Sir? - To the temple!

To the temple!

What kind of monk is he?

A very emotional person.

Hey, friend...

Boy...

Who, me?

- Want to look inside? - Sure!

- Yat Jan, come here! - Yes, Teacher!

You stinking scholar! Stand aside! I can't be responsible!

Worry about your own safety. Being vegetarian makes you weak.

Damn you! Buddha bless you!

Teacher?

Careful!

Come on!

The Evil Disciples welcome their honoured guests!

How did you get up here?

It was nothing. Just watch.

Monk, this place is dangerous. Why are you down here?

Even if you didn't provoke me, I'd come down and help you.

Who the hell are you? Who dares trespass on our Altar of Evil?

We are not ordinary people. We walk fearlessly towards danger.

Today we're here on behalf of goodness to seek out and destroy all evil.

Who are those guys?

They're the bad guys. We're the good guys. Understand?

Those who attack evil and are against us...

Kill!

- Those who are righteous... - Kill!

- Those who save people... - Kill!

Those who oppose the Evil Sect... kill!

Kill!

Who do they spare then?

Those who are with us, we spare!

Monk, even if you win the argument, do you think we won't have to fight tonight?

If you save your breath, you'll still have a chance to fight.

You're right, you stinking scholar.

Allow me to make you a corpse.

Use water to put it out!

It's too strong!

I can't handle it!

Monk, do you need help?

Strike!

Return!

Let's go!

I can't believe that after all these years of hard work, we let him get away.

Reverend, it was my fault. If it wasn't...

Little Brother, don't feel sorry.

He's right, young sir. It's a blessing that you're alive.

When will we have the pleasure of meeting again?

I hope I never give you that pleasure.

I hope we never meet again.

It's because of you that those demons managed to escape.

You're full of hot air and completely out of order.

Fine. North, east, south, west.

- Pick a direction. - The moon is full tonight.

- I'll go north. - In that case, I'll go south.

Good. From this day on...

May our paths never cross! Praise Buddha!

- Yat Jan! - Yes!

Let's go!

Youngster...

Take care of yourself.

See you again some day.

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

Honourable Sir!

He's disappeared again. He doesn't even take me into consideration.

I ask you to save the world and all you do is disappear.

Why did you learn Kung Fu, then?

You're just a coward, no wonder the world's a mess.

Evil is everywhere.

You said "Man brought it on himself." You are also responsible.

So be it!

I don't need you! I'll do it myself!

You people, don't bother coming back!

You're back?

I said we weren't going to meet again! Why are we meeting here?

We agreed you go north and I go south. Why change direction without telling me?

Why are you talking so much?

Our weapons have been sucked away! Do something!

What's going on?

Not sure, but I've never seen my Teacher so worried in all our years together.

What's going on over there?

Strike!

- Honourable Monk! - Teacher!

Return!

Let's go!

Monk...

First time we team up, disaster strikes.

Stop talking!

- What are you doing? - I'm giving you Chi.

Don'tjoke! The enemy's nearby.

Joke? I couldn't laugh even if you wanted me to.

Yat Jan, Master Ding's gone mad! Stop him!

Yat Jan!

- Teacher? - Make him stop!

- Master Ding? - We must heal him now.

- Teacher? - Don't disobey me!

- Master Ding? - Silly boy! Get off your knees!

Go outside with him and stand guard. Call me if there's a problem.

Ding Yan!

Fool! The Blood Demon will take advantage and attack!

- Yat Jan! - Teacher?

- Go! - Right!

- Come back! - Go!

- Come back! - Go!

Where did Monk Yat Jan get to?

Don't you dare come out!

I've been saved again.

It can't be possible. I've been so unlucky recently.

What are these things? Why are they sticking to me?

Who are you?

I'm Cheung Mei, founder of the Ngo-Mei School.

You, founder of Ngo-Mei School! Why are you here?

I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

Are you a good guy?

Of course I'm good. Do bad guys wear white? Look carefully!

Don't touch my moustache!

Why is it stuck to me now?

Don't touch my moustache.

- What'll I do? - Why are you still touching? Don't touch!

- Hey, kid... -You mean me?

Of course. Am I calling myself? Give me two rocks.

- Here. - Bigger than that.

Follow me.

To throw or not?

Only throw the rocks when I tell you.

You good people are much too weak.

I, the Blood Demon, have taken advantage of your weakness.

The monk has been poisoned by me.

My poison will spread to his heart in ten days and he will be consumed,

to become an incarnation of I, the Blood Demon.

Evil will always vanquish good!

What was that?

I've trapped his essence.

What do you mean?

Though I removed the essence from his body, it's still alive.

He's protecting himself with young boys' skulls

so he can resurrect himself later.

Grab my legs!

Even the Sky Mirror can't completely vanquish this power.

We're in big trouble this time.

What'll we do?

I'll do my best for the time being.

The Sky Mirror will hold him for the moment,

but when the stars shift in 49 days, the Sky Mirror will lose its power.

When that happens, I don't think we'll be able to hold him any longer.

And then what?

It'll be up to you.

What do you mean up to me?

Of course it's up to you. Do you think I'm going to take over?

The new generation must step up and take the place of the old.

The Ngo-Mei School has two swords - purple and green, the Twin Swords,

taken by Lei Yikkei the Wonder Girl 18 years ago to a Tin-Ngoi-Tin cave

where she practised with the swords and meditated.

Only by finding these swords can one kill the demon.

How do I get to Tin-Ngoi-Tin cave?

You'll enter by Tin-Dou Peak.

You must set off immediately. If you're late, and the resurrection begins,

nothing in this world will be able to stop the Blood Demon.

- Is that clear? - What about you?

Stupid! Ifl leave, who's going to withstand him?

Now, get going!

Not gone yet?

I pronounce you 18th leader of the Kwan-Leun School.

I bestow this on you.

These are the ritual beads of the Kwan-Leun leader.

Yat Jan, remember you're responsible for the entire School.

And for perpetuating its glory.

Teacher, you can't leave it like this!

Just leave me!

Look at me! I'm not cut out to be leader.

Where's the stone?

Teacher!

You think you can kill yourself?

-You must be cured! - I don't want to be!

-You must be cured! - I don't want a cure!

Just shut up!

Who did you think you were talking to just now?

I'm the leader, I can say what...

Teacher, I didn't mean to break it.

I'll re-string it.

The world is more dangerous than I first thought.

Originally, I wanted you to save us common men from ourselves.

Now, I'm not sure who's supposed to save who.

Today is the first of the remaining 49 days.

After I take the monk to be healed,

then I'll go after the Twin Swords.

I hope there'll be enough time.

CHUN-TING-TOI

- What's up? - There's fish.

There's lots down there.

You're trying to run away!

It tricked me!

You stupid fish!

That's an electric eel!

Youngster, I caught a fish!

Young Teacher...

Ever tried fish?

I was a monk for a few days once. I was told that eating cooked fish was okay.

It's not considered slaughter. Want some?

- Sure it's not forbidden? - Of course not.

Master Ding!

It's not my Teacher! It's the demon's double!

Where's the sword?

Behind you!

I can't tell who's who!

He's turned into a woman!

Return!

Be careful. Evil is all around.

We understand.

Yat Jan, what's that?

It's a fish. We caught it earlier.

I was about to release it for good karma.

- Now we must go to Yiu-Chi-Sin Fort. - Right.

Good thing he didn't see the fish was cooked.

Right...

Take the rest of it.

I'm sorry, but your trip here was in vain.

I cannot cure this monk.

You didn't even attempt a diagnosis. How do you know you can't cure him?

Unless the Lady herself comes out.

- The Lady of the Fort? - The Lady is still here?

She lives here in seclusion.

She won't leave seclusion, unless...

Unless what?

Unless fate decides.

The Immortal Ice Flame of the Fort burns once every day.

Sometimes for many hours, sometimes minutes. We never know.

If any patient sees the Lady before the Ice Flame dies,

then she will try her best to heal him.

I see the Ice Flame is dwindling, and the Lady hasn't shown yet.

It seems that you've not been sent by fate.

But... what's going to happen to my Teacher...?

This place has its rules. As we are guests here, we shall respect them.

I, Ding Yan, shall use all my powers to keep this Ice Flame alive.

Even ifl exhaust all my energies, I will not regret it.

As I said before, we should leave all to fate.

I agree, but what I'm doing now is preventing you from intervening in fate.

Look, it's that witch!

We've been tricked!

Youngster! Youngster!

Master Ding...

That'll teach you to call a woman a witch.

Master Ding, but she...

- She what? - She looked like the witch we saw.

Only as much as you look like her!

The evil one at Ting-Chun-Toi disguised itself as the Lady.

You were deceived.

Now you must stay alert.

- I have to open an energy channel. - Open an energy channel?

Huh? You're passing on all you know to him?

No thanks to you!

Teacher?

Teacher?

- Honourable Sir...? - Be quiet!

I'm transferring my energy.

We could both suffer irreparable damage if we're not careful.

What should I do now?

Concentrate. I'll do the rest.

Watch your step! My Teacher needs to stay pure!

Wow! I can't believe I'm so powerful!

Why are you doing this?

Don't you want to save this monk's life?

Are you cold?

Frozen.

With all them there, how can we get past to see what's happening?

What are you looking at?

She's so bossy, I think it'll be tough to get past her.

Maybe there's another entrance.

There must be another entrance! Let's take a look!

Hey!

Where are you going?

We just want to find somewhere to relieve ourselves. That's all.

No!

Strangers aren't allowed to wander around within the Fort.

In that case, we'll have to do it right here.

You dare!

Dare?

I dare you to try!

Try? You don't scare me.

You think you can embarrass me?

- Hurry! - Don't tell my teacher!

- Hiu Yu! - The Lady has been in seclusion so long.

The first thing she did was exhaust herself. She must now rest.

Now that the poison's been removed from the monk, you should leave.

Please.

Youngster, there's a hole!

Let's hide in it!

That's a hole?

Help!

Youngster, quickly! Save me!

Hey, wake up!

Tell me you're not dead!

Where am I?

- Can't you swim? - I never learned.

Flying swords!

Bitches! If you want us naked, you only have to ask.

Even mine has gone!

Now we'll take you to your Teachers

to show them what a disgrace you are.

No, Miss, I beg you. Please don't.

What is there to be ashamed of? Go ahead!

If my Teacher finds out I pulled a girl's trouser belt, I'll be in disgrace!

That's no big deal!

What?

Don't make her angry. Miss, I'll do whatever you ask.

Let's not make an issue of it, then everything will be okay.

Is that so?

Fine. Then slap each other until I stop being angry.

I'll be angry when you're not! I'd rather die than be humiliated.

Forget it!

You won't cooperate? Then I'll tell your Teachers.

They're not my Teachers anyway, so let's go!

No, no... Youngster... Go ahead and slap me.

- I don't hit brothers! - Don't think of me as a brother then.

I'm not going to slap you.

Then I'll have to slap myself.

You're supposed to be the leader of your School!

I was going to resign!

Good thing I still have some tricks up my sleeve!

As the Ice Flame has gone out, it's fate that we should part.

Lady, until we meet again.

If fate says we should part, why would we meet again?

If fate has run its course, why are you willing to see me?

I didn't come out to see you.

In that case, are you here to hit me?

You're right. You must pay for your insolence on the day of the healing.

Insolence? Have you become confused through over-exhaustion?

You fainted! I was trying to help you.

If that's molestation, then that's all I know. You teach me!

You, you, you... what?

You're too arrogant! You need to be taught a lesson!

Two moves don't make a lesson!

You've things to do. I'll let you go.

- Really? - We'll fight upon your return.

If you wait, I'll come back.

Good. That's agreed, then.

Yat Jan!

Yat Jan!

Okay, stay and look after your Teacher.

You can come out now.

I thought you might follow me here.

You're not even armed. What if something happens?

You've two swords. Give me one to protect myself.

I've been saving this for my student.

Teacher.

Don't misunderstand.

I'm not taking students yet.

Nevertheless, borrow it for now.

Take it.

It's better than nothing.

Honourable Sir...!

Someone's in trouble.

Honourable Sir...!

Is my complexion terrible?

No, I've seen worse.

I've temporarily stopped the spread of the poison,

but it's only temporary.

I'll take you back to the Fort immediately.

Dik Mingkei... do you really want to be my student?

Bow to me three times to become my student, and the sword is yours.

- Will you obey your Teacher? - Yes.

Promise me something.

If we don't get to the Fort within three days, then you have to kill me.

Do you hear me?

You must kill me!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

So he got poisoned too, huh?

Ask the Lady to come out, quick!

Only fate can decide whether the Lady comes out or not.

If the Ice Flame is not alight, she will not appear.

We live by the rules of the Fort.

- Rules? - Like when we brought you here.

Shut up! You're a disgrace to the whole Kwan-Leun School!

- The Ice Flame of the Fort? - That's right.

Hurry up and get a move on, then! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Lady of the Fort!

As a student of Buddhism,

how can you be so uncouth?

This is Yiu-Chi-Sin Fort, not Kwan-Leun mountain!

Get the Lady now, or you'll be sorry!

If you won't be polite, neither will we!

Don't you have anything better to do?

Hiding away here, making up strange rules?

I became a monk because of women like you!

I'm wasting my breath!

I dare you to come out!

If you don't have the guts, stay there forever! Spinster!

Hiu Yu!

We are guests here!

We can't force them.

The Lady and I agreed...

that I'd return one day.

I didn't think it would happen like this.

Teacher!

- Student? - Teacher?

You're now a Nam-Hoi student.

You must uphold the traditions of the Nam-Hoi School.

Destroy all evil, wherever it may lurk.

Quickly!

Quickly!

Mercy killing, the Ice Flame, fate...

To hell with it all!

You'd rather watch the Ice Flame than save a man? What Flame? What rules?

It's all lies! You're not with us! I'm not going to commit murder!

Don't stop me! Don't stop me!

Unhand me!

About time.

Gei Mou-Seung!

Lady?

We try our best and leave the rest up to fate.

- Understand? - Lady, you...

If things are meant to be this way, then so be it.

What happened?

The Lady almost used all her energies healing you.

If she tries to heal your friend, she may put her life in danger.

Ding Yan...

I used up all my energies on healing your friend.

And now...

- I'm too weak to heal you. - Life is in the healer's hands... so be it.

Lady... just kill me!

That's also what I was thinking.

I understand.

- I give up my life with a smile. - One blow to end all.

I've injured the Lady. Go save her. Quickly!

- Teacher! - Master Ding! Are you okay?

- Teacher! - Master Ding!

Ding Yan!

Teacher! Teacher!

See what you've done to him now!

Fine. Who's in charge here?

From now on, I'm in charge here.

If anything happens to him, I will be responsible.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

- What are you doing? - Do you really want to kill him?

Let go of me!

Let me go!

Come down first! Leave it to me!

Come down now!

Let go of me! Let go of me!

- Do you want to kill him? - Move, damn monk!

You'll have to kill me first.

Lady!

You must leave.

I have to seal the Fort with ice.

Lady, how will you get out?

Don't let Ding Yan out! Don't worry about me!

Why don't you kill him?

- We must leave now! - We must leave now!

- Why? - Why?

Lady!

Too late!

Teacher!

Teacher!

This is all your fault!

If you hadn't brought your Teacher here, my Teacher wouldn't be in this state.

Go rescue my Teacher!

The Fort is frozen over. Why are you still here?

Leave me alone!

Look, blood!

You can't trap me!

What's happening?

The falling ice will block this passage sooner or later. Let's go!

- This is the only exit. - What?

I tried this hole before. I don't know how to swim.

Go ahead! I'll find my own way.

Let's both drag him along!

No! No! I'll drown!

Help!

What's the matter?

I've never left the Fort before.

And now... I don't know where to go.

You're asking me?

I don't know what to tell you.

A man is at home everywhere.

You're just a weak woman. You're tackless, bossy and cry easily!

Maybe the answer is to become a nun.

I know it's a simple life, but...

it should suit you.

What? You'd better shut up!

Did I say the wrong thing? I say what I think.

15,16,17...

Why did you come over here?

Yat Jan, remember Cheung Mei told us to go to Tin-Dou Peak

to seek out Lei Yikkei and the Twin Swords?

We only have about two weeks left.

If we don't go now, it'll mean Doomsday for all mankind.

I couldn't even save those in the Fort. You're asking me to save others?

I was a soldier of the Western Zu army.

I found the death and destruction too much.

When we met our Teachers, I hoped they would save mankind,

but I was to be disappointed.

These so-called righteous men only argue

and refuse to unite against evil.

They only care about the welfare of their own Schools.

They talk of fighting evil and serving justice.

They talk of saving mankind, but they're not united.

If we follow them, forget about saving others. We won't even save ourselves.

You're right. The Blood Demon won because they wouldn't unite.

We must learn from their mistakes.

Where do we go from here?

Let us three immediately leave and join forces to ascend Tin-Dou Peak.

Tin-Dou Peak! It's so vast!

We only have two days left. How will we do it?

- That's right. - What's the matter with you two?

- We call out her name. - Call out her name?

Honourable Madam Lei Yikkei?

Get away!

Call her name?! Stupid idea!

Look over there!

There's an entrance down there!

Tin Dou is the best of Gong-Wu!

You people!

Why have you come here?

He must be Lei Yikkei!

Lei Yikkei's a girl, stupid!

You haven't answered my question.

You're so impolite! You don't know the rules!

Just now you almost stepped into Evil Territory!

Where we stand marks the boundary between Good and Evil Territories.

Good and Evil Territories?

Why are you chained here, old man?

Insolence!

I'm not "old man".

I am Tin Dou.

In this world, no-one can chain Tin Dou!

I chained myself.

Why chain yourself here when you know it's the Evil Territory's entrance?

Old man!

Stay back! I can take care of myself!

In the beginning, Heaven and Earth were whole.

But the Gods and Demons were always fighting.

Killing without end.

I've been here for over a century, trying to understand the logic of it.

But instead, the Evil Force has seeped into me and I am now weakening daily.

I've resorted to chaining myself down.

Between Heaven and Earth,

there is an Evil Force which is everywhere.

It is kept in check by the Good Force.

The Evil Force is forced to stay underground,

but masterminds all wars, disasters and evil that exists on earth.

As long as it exists, there will never be peace.

I'm too old to fight against this evil.

I have no successor so I can only stand guard.

If the Evil Elements force their way into the Evil Territory,

the world is finished.

Isn't there anyone who can destroy the Evil Force?

No, the Good Force has become weak.

Even Lei Yikkei with the Twin Swords may not succeed.

Lei Yikkei?

Where is she?

This is the border between Good and Evil Territories.

Therefore all houses of Gods are here too.

She's in the far cavern of the Tin-Ngoi-Tin Cave.

So we found her at last?

- It's a shame it's too late. - Too late?

Do you mean she's dead?

Insolence! She'll outlive all of you.

I was referring to the fact I've weakened so much.

I've just noticed... an intruder!

Teacher!

Evil comes from the heart, and from the heart comes everything.

Gods come from Demons.

Demons come from Gods.

Good and Evil are the same thing.

Why would there be a division between Good and Evil Forces?

The Evil Force is supreme!

He wants to get in there!

To enter the Evil Territory, you must first pass me.

I bumped my nose!

Stop him!

The Chat-Gik Sword?

Correct. The Chat-Gik Sword.

Chat-Gik is a righteous sword.

I remember it well.

The sword has remained the same. It's you that's changed.

You are too naive.

Perhaps, but I'll do my best to stop you entering the Evil Territory.

Obviously, you haven't learnt your limits yet.

You're still so stubborn!

Youngster!

You have potential. Don't fear, I'm here.

Tin Dou. Your strength is waning.

Conserve what's left of your pathetic body while you can.

And concentrate on living a few more years.

Don't worry about my body. This is a battle of willpower.

One foe is still learning, the other fading.

You are no match for me.

Are you okay?

The suction is very strong. Don't come here!

Get out of here before it's too late!

Youngster...!

-Youngster, hold on! - Hold on!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Watch out!

Yat Jan!

Yat Jan, what are you doing here?

I've always been a coward.

I'm not fit to be the School's leader.

Here are my beads.

Please return them to Kwan-Leun mountain.

But you...

Youngster is in there. There's still a chance to find him.

Yat Jan, I'm going with you.

You're crazy! If we both don't get out, who'll find the Twin Swords?

I'll wait for you here.

Wait for me?

Ifl can get out, I'll be able to find you.

And ifl don't, what's the point of waiting?

Don't hesitate. Let's go our separate ways.

If you don't leave now, we'll be no good to anybody.

Leave!

Leave!

Why haven't you gone?

Youngster!

Hurry! Go rescue Youngster before he's sucked into the Evil Territory.

Yat Jan!

Youngster!

Catch!

Hold tight!

Don't worry. We'll be all right now.

I don't know how to get us out of here.

Tin Dou sacrificed his life to save us.

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Quickly, come up! I don't know how to swim. I can't save you.

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster!

Youngster, we're safe now.

It's all right.

Youngster, don't be like this!

Youngster! Talk to me! How do you feel?

Purple Sword!

Green Sword!

Do you see that? Do you see that?

Twin Purple Green Swords!

And there's somebody over there.

Lei Yikkei?

Yes, I am.

Hooray!

We found her at last!

What happened to you?

Take a look at you.

Abbess Lei Yikkei!

I know all about Cheung Mei.

You've come from far away. Every generation has heroes.

You have shown you are worthy

to be the next guardians of the Twin Swords.

Thank you, Abbess.

The Twin Swords were carved from the sacred rocks of Heaven and Earth.

The swords have absorbed Universal Energies.

A sword is controlled by man

and man is controlled by his heart.

As long as Heaven, Earth and man are united, they are invincible.

The Yin and Yang energies of the Twin Swords mustn't touch each other,

or else destruction will take place - if it is minor, the swordman dies.

If it is major, Heaven and Earth will be scarred and all living things will die.

However, the swords' power are at their strongest when united as one.

Damned if we do, damned if we don't?

I have no answer to the problem. Let me ask Cheung Mei.

Cheung Mei!

They found the Twin Swords!

Why does Lei Yikkei want me to be at one with her?

Why can't the Twin Swords touch?

The Twin Swords may only touch

when the swordsmen are of the same mind.

Beware, the time is almost up,

and soon my Sky Mirror will lose its power.

What is meant by "the swordsmen are of the same mind?"

It's when the two swordsmen agree and speak simultaneously.

Man controls the sword, and his heart controls man.

When two people are one, the Twin Swords will become one.

This will change everything and Heaven and Earth will become one.

For Heaven and Earth unite,

two people must achieve a state of perfect union?

Purple represents Heaven; Green, the Earth.

The Twin Swords, Heaven and Earth unite.

- Abbess Lei? - Abbess Lei?

Abbess Lei?

- Teacher! - Teacher!

Don't be sad.

- Are you tricking me? No. - Are you tricking me? No.

It was me.

I've merged the three of us into one.

Are we still men?

Of course.

I haven't changed you physically.

To unite Heaven and Earth, you two must achieve a state of perfect union.

You can achieve this through me to unite your hearts and minds.

You're the successors. The position of the seven stars are shifting.

Quickly go help Cheung Mei at Ngo-Mei Mountain and kill the Blood Demon.

Yes, Teacher!

Eastern Army losers!

You won't get away this time!

Western Army losers! Last time we lured you to Sam-Jeung Creek,

we waited half a day but we didn't see you cowards!

Oh, no! The seven stars are shifting.

Stop fighting! Look up!

Can you hear me?

Western Army, we will destroy you!

- Where's the Commander? - We can't fight without him!

Everybody, stop fighting! Your Commanders are here!

That's strange! How did our Commanders get up there?

You must flee.

The Evil Reincarnation on the mountain is about to happen. Leave or die!

What's she going on about?

Look over there.

Look out! It's trying to suck us in!

What kind of demoncraft is it, Yat Jan?

Quickly, follow me!

Quickly, follow our Commanders!

They're flying so quickly! How can we keep up?

It's Ding Yan!

He has our swords locked in.

- Yat Jan, be careful! - Youngster!

Supreme Demoncraft is the enemy of the Good Force.

Yat Jan!

Why is it dark!

The Blood Demon absorbs light!

Try to stay upright!

I can't let you get out!

I can't let you destroy the light!

- I'm being crushed! -You're crushing me!

Why aren't the Twin Swords here yet?

- Don't push me! - I'm not! The ground is tilting!

Why are you still pushing me?

Wow! It's a cliff down there!

- Hold tight! Don't fall down! - How can I ifl can't even stand?

Don't push me!

Don't push me, you!

Hold on to one another! It's the only way to stop falling!

Okay, let's hold on to one another.

Be careful, or we'll fall in!

Don't hold on so hard, my strength is failing!

Oh, my neck!

- Don't let him lock up our swords. - Okay, let's turn them into shields.

Demoncraft has no limits! You cannot defeat me!

Youngster, where are you?

Youngster, where are you?

Yat Jan? I'm over here!

Yat Jan, are you all right?

I'm all right.

I'm okay, too. I can't see Ding Yan. He's somewhere between us.

To break his Demon Barrier,

we have to join together and keep him between us to fight him.

How can I fight him if I don't know where you are?

With our minds as one, we must be able to find each other.

Really?

Time is running out. We must unite the Twin Swords.

Right.

Trying to unite?

He's trying to exhaust our energies!

You and the Twin Swords are beginning to join together,

but your spirits must be as one, or else, when the swords touch,

the swords and you will be destroyed.

We're at the final stage! We can't be distracted! Concentrate!

Unite the swords now! I can't hold it!

Yat Jan, you weren't concentrating, and almost destroyed the Twin Swords!

Youngster, I'm coming. Let's become as one.

He's blocking us!

Become one? The end of the Good Force is nigh.

I can't function any more. My historical role is almost over.

The Blood Demon resurrects!

By the Gods, I can't look any more.

Ding Yan, the poison has almost run its course.

I shouldn't dwell on it. Our time is up.

On this green mountain, I make one strike to end it all.

One line is all that divides good and evil.

The Lady of the Fort sacrificed herself for a great deed. Praise her!

Quickly unite!

You're dead this time!

Look! What's that? Something's falling...

It's three people...

Greetings to you, Cheung Mei.

There really are heroes everywhere. Each generation is better than the last.

I'm leaving!

Fat guy!

Fat guy!

Even though we are apart, our hearts are as one.

By the time I give you back this gourd, I hope everyone will get along.

When all wars have ended and peace reigns on Earth.

It'll be a brighter day for all.
