Is Magic Swordsman Qi Rufeng home?

I'm Qi Rufeng. Please state your purpose.

Are you Qi the Master Swordsman?

You are too kind.

I have a letter for you...

from brigand chiefs, Ma and Xu, of Huainan.

Poisonous incense!

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

You people are such rats!

This is for meddling in our affairs

Today we will make you regret.

If I were you, I'd step aside.

The master has been poisoned.

Take him in and give him some medicine.

Yes.

Uncle... Open the door...

Open up, uncle.

Coming...

Uncle... Open up.

Uncle... Open up, come on.

What is it? What happened?

What's the matter?

My father is fighting with some thieves.

Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng.

Master, you've raised me...

and taught me martial arts since I was little.

It's my honor to die for you.

But...

But, my son is still young...

Father...

Don't worry, Fang Cheng

I'll take your son under my wing.

You mean...

I'll make him my disciple,

and treat him like one of my nephews.

Come lad, thank the master.

Master.

I'm your teacher now.

I'm grateful, master.

Father...!

Don't you feel cold?

I'm chopping firewood.

Please don't touch me. I'm sweating all over.

Why are you chopping firewood?

You aren't one of the servants here.

Miss, you told me to chop firewood.

Well, now I'm asking you to stop.

Come, practise the sword with me.

I have already practised.

I know, but practice with me again.

Go get your sword.

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

with the other two brothers,

or they'll detest me.

Why do you always address me as "Miss"...

but not by my first name?

He doesn't deserve it. Just let him be,

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

It's none of your business. Fang Gang.

His father was a mere servant.

He's only good for chopping firewood.

It's his ploy to win our teacher's love;

so that our teacher will scold you...

for treating him like a servant.

Stop there...

I'm older than you,

It's my job to supervise you...

understand?

Teacher never said anything like that.

You refuse to obey me then?

We should obey senior disciples...

when the teacher is out. How dare you?

As an older disciple, you should treat,

all brothers fairly and love them all.

I actually don't like you fawning on Pei-er,

while bullying other brothers.

Father.

Teacher.

You're back.

Teacher.

You again asked Ah Gang to do the chores?

I...

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

Pei-er and Sun Hao supervise me practicing.

Why don't you wear the new clothes?

I'm afraid they'll get dirty.

Go change your clothes and then practice.

Yes.

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

Be more considerate.

The world doesn't revolve around you.

-It wasn't Pei-er's... -Shut up.

You think I don't know your behavior.

Your rich father sent you here...

because he knows I'll discipline you.

Sun Hao, what did you do just now?

I...

Your father is the famous Swordsman Hebei.

He could teach you martial arts himself.

Why did he send you here?

Your father didn't want to spoil you.

Don't you ever think I'll be lenient with you...

because your father was my best pal.

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

so as not to let my friend down.

You're my disciples,

I'll teach you martial arts,

and you'll learn to be righteous men.

I won't just let you be.

He just favors Fang Gang. That's all.

Fang Gang is cunning.

He poses as a nice guy...

in front of our teacher.

We get rebuked every time because of him.

He even dared to fight back today!

I swear I'll fix him.

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

We have to be patient,

and wait until mid-night.

Then we ask him to meet us at the woods,

and punish him.

Great idea.

He can only fool our teacher.

He...

You pretend to be nice in front of teacher,

to please him.

You don't respect your elder brothers and Pei-er.

Meet us in the woods at mid-night.

You must come. Be there...

if you still have courage.

Whoever reports this to our teacher...

is a brazen rat.

Okay.

It's late. Return to your room.

You think it over carefully

Rufeng, Pei-er is our only child.

Don't be too harsh on her.

Fang Gang is no doubt a good lad;

but he's too stubborn sometimes.

Pei-er is right. He's arrogant sometimes.

True, Fang Cheng died for our family,

but we've raised his only child,

and never one day has he been starved.

You've spoiled Pei-er.

Actually, I have my own plan.

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

Do you know why I went out today?

Why?

I heard Smiling Tiger Cheng Tianshou...

is in the neighborhood.

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

So I checked around.

There isn't anyone suspicious though.

I've helped a lot of people in my life,

but also made many foes. I'm concerned about.

Smiling Tiger's older brother Long-armed Devil.

I'll be 55 next year,

I've informed all my disciples...

to gather here on my birthday.

I'm going to choose a successor amongst them.

Then I'll withdraw from the martial-arts world.

I have only one daughter...

who is unfortunateIy spoiled and

far less skilled than me;

nor good enough to be my successor.

I've many disciples,

but none of them talented enough...

to learn all my skills and swordsmanship.

I consider Ah Gang to be quite capable.

I wish him to be my successor...

as well as my son-in...

You want Pei-er to marry him? I'm afraid...

Judge by what happened today...

Our teacher is strange.

He favors a servant's son.

I don't like the idea of...

treating a servant's son as brother.

Teacher, you've been most kind to me.

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

make things difficult for you. I must leave.

I hope I can repay your kindness someday.

Teacher...

Brother Sun...

Fang Gang has left.

Let's go.

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

Pull out your sword.

I'm here to clear things up with you,

and say good bye.

I'm not fighting with you.

Say goodbye?

I know you don't like me.

My staying will only hurt everyone's feeling's.

Therefore I've decided to leave.

You betray our teacher?

We can't let him go just like that.

Let's punish this traitor,

on behalf of our teacher.

Brother Sun, don't force me...

to fight back.

Brother Sun.

Our teacher is famous for his swordsmanship

You will only disgrace him...

with such paltry skills.

You had the chance to learn from Teacher Qi.

I urge you to do your best.

Stop there.

You think you're the only one...

who has learnt all my father's expertise.

Teacher Qi brought me up.

I won't fight with you, Miss.

Don't call me "Miss"

Your father died for the sake of mine.

Why would you leave without saying goodbye...

if you're that grateful to my father?

I won't let you go...

if you don't fight with me.

Let's fight with bare hands if you insist.

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

It's too dangerous.

You're afraid of my father's swordsmanship?

We both learned our skill...

from your father.

Okay, let's fight with bare hands.

Miss, I'm sorry.

You... you hurt me.

I told you not to fight.

Qi Pei-er, you...

Pei-er, you acted so quickly.

Pei-er, don't worry.

You cut off his arm, so what?

He won't come back anyway.

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

Teacher is coming.

Teacher...

Father!

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

How dare you kill Ah Gang?

No, we didn't...

What's this?

It was all his fault.

He dared to fight with Pei-er.

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

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

are not his match.

Tell me the truth,

or await the punishment.

Father, I forced him to fight with me.

He defeated me with bare hands.

I pulled out my sword and cut off his arm.

Where's Ah Gang?

He left.

Come along and help me look for him.

You'll be responsible for him.

Grandpa Wang.

Grandpa Wang.

Xiaoman, what can I do for you?

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

Who is it?

He's a stranger.

He has suffered serious injuries.

His arm has been cut off.

Please save him.

Ah Shun.

Help move the injured man from the boat.

Bring me a pillow.

I'll prepare some medicine.

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

Who are you? Where am I?

My name is Xiaoman. This is my home.

You've been unconscious for 7 days.

My right arm...

What am I going to do without my right arm?

My sword... where's my sword?

Here.

No, not this one.

Then... is it this one?

But it's broken!

Father, you were a servant your entire life.

You died for your master.

I just wanted you to be proud of me.

but I'm getting nowhere now.

I am maimed.

Miss Xiaoman, didn't mean to scare you.

You didn't.

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

Thank you for saving my life.

I just lost my control. I'm sorry.

Please don't be scared.

I understand it must be hard for you.

Where is your family?

I'm an orphan.

You took care of me for 7 days...

when I was unconscious?

Please lie down. I've cooked some porridge.

Let me get you some.

Xiaoman... Come here.

Look, I can fish.

I can fish with my left hand.

Great. It's a big fish.

But I can't manage a lot with my left hand.

You can learn how to use it.

You work so hard.

I don't want to burden you.

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

You're still weak.

I know you feel sad because you can't practise.

...martial arts without your right arm.

Well, where has martial arts got you so far?

If your teacher wasn't a swordsman...

your father wouldn't be killed by his enemies.

If not for martial arts...

your arm wouldn't be cut off.

I've practiced martial arts...

since childhood.

I know nothing besides that.

I could be a bodyguard...

if my arm wasn't cut off.

Or I couId teach martial arts.

What can I do now?

You're still a robust young man.

You may not be a swordsman,

but you can learn to farm and fish,

depending on your commitment.

Mother left me this house and the field.

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

If you decide to lead an ordinary life...

we can farm, fish and weave...

to support ourselves.

Xiaoman, you've been nice to me.

How come you have never told me...

your last name?

It's not like that.

The truth is I don't know it either.

Look.

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

in this small village.

It's a pity!

She's with a cripple with only one arm.

Ah Gang, don't pay attention to them.

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

with his only arm.

Mind what you say.

Come home with us.

We can hug you much better than the cripple.

Ah Gang.

Let him go.

Come and fight.

Stop it.

Teacher.

Master Cheng.

Miss Xiaoman, I'm sorry.

These two idiots behaved outrageously.

I'll punish them. Please forgive them.

Get out of here.

Sorry... Goodbye.

Ah Gang.

Leave me alone.

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

Don't you dare stir up trouble.

My older brother told me,

to watch out for Qi Rufeng.

Tonight.

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

which can restrain Qi's sword.

If you spoil my brother's plan...

you know his temper.

Ah Gang.

You haven't slept yet?

You've seen everything.

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

but it breaks my heart to see your sorrow.

You may find it useful.

Xiaoman, where did you get this?

It's a long story. I told you earlier...

that I don't know my last name.

All I remember is one night,

when I was little,

my father came home bleeding all over.

I was scared and cried.

Hide this book in a safe place.

When Xiaoman grows up...

Father...

It's all due to this...

Heartbroken, Mom threw it into the fire,

When she regretted and picked it up again...

the book was burned down to less than half.

Mother brought me here after that.

She bought the field, built this house...

Two years later, she passed away.

She didn't tell me what my last name is,

nor my father's name.

She said reprisal only breeds reprisal.

Besides, most contents of the book...

were burnt away.

On the left hand side is just what remains.

I keep it in memory of my parents.

I thought even if I know who I am.

I may not be able to get revenge.

On the contrary I might be killed,

if my enemy finds out about me.

So I decided to lead my life farming.

You happened to lose your right arm,

but this might be useful for left-hand training.

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

Uncle.

Stand up.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang...

Yes.

Explain it to them.

Yes.

You learned how to fight with one sword?

Yes.

Brother Ba.

This is Qi's golden sword.

All Qi's disciples...

have a sword like this one.

We got this from...

Qi's disciple that we killed

It's 3 and a half feet with a thin blade.

Study it carefully.

You use this sword and fight with me.

Do your best.

I will.

Come on.

If you were Qi's disciple...

you would be dead now.

Our teacher fought with Qi for 2 days.

He memorized all his moves.

There are 64 moves in total.

Our teacher created this sword lock,

which has 64 tactics too.

The lock is purposely designed...

to lock Qi's sword.

The size and design are just perfect.

We'll surely defeat Qi Rufeng...

with this sword lock.

I understand the concept now.

But I still have to learn...

how to use it from you, brother.

You two must work hard,

and don't let your uncle down.

Yes.

You practise the moves with your brothers.

Do not show it to anyone.

We want to take Qi by surprise.

You mustn't leave the house with the lock.

Or you know how we'll punish you.

I wouldn't dare.

Brother.

Brother.

Anything special over Qi Rufeng's side?

The fifth day of July...

is Qi Rufeng's fifty-fifth birthday.

He has invited all his disciples to a party.

Reportedly, he's going to choose his successor,

and withdraw from the martial arts world.

Great. We'll seize the oppotnity...

to destroy them thoroughly.

Qi Rufeng has many disciples.

There's not enough of us to eliminate them all.

We can't let someone slip through...

Lest he come for revenge some day.

Tonight, we'll teach you,

all 64 moves of my sword lock.

You practise it with Guo Sheng and Qin Dachuan.

Tomorrow morning, Ding Peng and Ba Shuang...

will come with me to ambush Qi's disciples.

Stand up.

Who're you?

Don't you know me?

Tell me your name and be killed.

So you're that Long-armed Devil.

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

My teacher defeated you once.

Now, along with your disciples...

you're here to ambush me.

You're not my match.

I'll challenge your teacher.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang...

Yes.

My disciples will fight with you.

Fair enough?

Stop...

You mind leaving this tree alone?

If you keep practicing a few more days...

You'll tear down my house...

My palm technique is almost perfect,

but I still have to practise my swordsmanship.

Where's the book?

In the house.

The sword is auxiliary,

so it should be shorter.

My sword is too long.

It doesn't go with the moves.

I got it.

Teacher, it's a bit dull...

to try this on a dummy.

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

You can't leave the house with the sword lock.

Did you forget your uncle's words?

No.

Keep practising, I'll return to my room.

I am bored to death.

I hear there'll be a temple fair tomorrow.

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

We just have to leave the sword lock here.

Good.

You haven't slept yet?

The broken sword is just perfect.

I've learnt something new as well.

I don't understand,

why are you so happy?

What's so good about martial arts?

I could protect you like the other day,

and no one can hurt me.

It'll bring troubles with it too.

If my father didn't learn martial arts,

he'd not inherit this book from his teacher,

and wouldn't eventually die for it.

My Mom and I wouldn't have suffered.

When you learn everything in the book...

you will leave me,

and lead a swordsman's life.

No, I won't leave you.

I know you're good to me.

You just say that. Who knows!

That's a promise

I'll only use it to protect us,

and won't mind other people's business.

Can't you see it?

Pei-er actually likes Fang Gang.

Shut up. Thinking back...

we shouldn't have treated Fang like that.

Let's go.

Pei-er, cheer up.

There is a temple fair today.

Let's check it out, shall we?

Look, over there.

Have you been to a temple fair before?

No, I've been busy practising swords.

We never thought of going to one.

Grandpa Wang, Shun.

Has the young fellow recovered?

Yes, thanks for treating him.

Let me introduce, Grandpa Wang and Shun.

They saved your life.

Thank you.

Don't mention it. So long.

Look at those two kids.

Aren't they cute?

Masks galore.

Look.

Masks. Buy one for two cents.

Come on, masks for sale.

Good...

He took my mask.

I'll buy you another one.

Hi kid, come here...

one for two cents, come on.

You're too old to rob from a child.

Shame on you.

Those three who just passed by...

were my brothers and Pei-er.

I don't wish to be seen.

Come on...

Hi girl, don't you like it?

How can you do this?

I do what I like. Can you stop me?

It's Buddha's birthday.

How dare you molest the girl!

Buddha's birthday or not. Damn you.

Don't fight.

Let go.

Don't fight...

Damn.

Don't fight...

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

You're not their match.

Come on, put down your stake...

We are not their match. Please help me...

bring Shun home.

Alright...

Grandpa Wang, what happened to Shun?

Master Cheng's disciples teased Mrs Zhang

Shun told them to behave themselves,

and was beaten by them.

Ah Gang.

Grandpa and Shun saved my life once.

It's not meddlilng in other's business.

It's my chance...

It's you, the maimed, again?

The pretty girl is here too.

You can't take care of her,

and want us to help?

Mind what you say.

Why did you beat Shun?

You're at our mercy too,

so mind your own business. Come on, girl.

They deserve it

Stop

You stirred up trouble again. Go home now.

You did a good job...

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

We're in Qi's neighborhood. Don't cause trouble,

or your uncle will kill you.

Teacher, look.

Pei-er, let's go over there.

Teacher, I believe...

they're Qi's disciples.

Who could that girl be?

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

Let's try the sword lock on her.

But we haven't brought it with us.

We can't try it here anyway.

Let's kidnap her.

Let's go over there.

Miss Qi.

How do you know my name?

Your father is the famous Magic Swordsman.

I see your golden sword. I hear Swordsman Qi,

passes on all his skills to his only daughter.

That would be you, I bet.

May I ask your name?

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

I have some important information to tell you.

I Iive nearby, would you kindly come with me?

Let me tell you everything.

Why not.

Pei-er, we don't know him.

Nothing to be afraid of.

I can see he's nice.

Besides, he has something to tell me.

You beat those two rascals.

They deserve it...

I believe they'd have some ulterior motive.

It's not our business.

She cut off your arm,

so couldn't count as your saviour, right?

Please have a seat over there, young men.

Take a seat, Miss Qi.

Your tea.

What have you done to Pei-er?

Don't worry.

I just made her fall asleep.

We won't kill her.

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

so we made her slumber off for a while

What toy is that?

This is it.

Then why're you showing it to us?

We're going to try this on you.

How can we keep it from you?

But don't worry.

You have no chance to talk about it.

Now that we've fallen into your trap.

Just show us your toy.

Wait a minute.

This must be some martial-arts master.

May I ask your name?

I'm Cheng Tianshou, nicknamed Smiling Tiger.

I've heard your name before.

You should square accounts with our teacher,

but not us. I'm afraid...

It's no use.

Of course I won't fight with you.

My disciples will.

It would be one-on-one fight.

Is it fair?

Come on.

But...

Brother, don't talk to him.

Let's fight with them.

Who's first?

Me.

Brother.

Brother, death before dishonor.

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

We surely will beat Qi Rufeng,

with our secret weapon the sword lock.

But it wouldn't be wrong to be careful.

We keep her as our hostage.

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

She treated me badly,

but she is my teacher's only child.

Ssh, I'm here to rescue you.

What if our teacher finds out?

She'll still be our hostage,

after we do this to her.

Miss Qi, we're here to...

keep you company.

If you do what we tell you to...

we'll get you out of the cellar.

It's you again.

Why are you wearing a mask?

Who wouldn't recognize you're the maimed?

I let you go earlier.

I won't spare you this time.

You bully me because I'm maimed.

Now you know what it feels like!

You jump up first.

Fang Gang, I cut off your arm.

Why did you rescue me?

You recognize me.

I'm familiar with your voice.

Besides, you have only one arm.

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

I should not rescue you, but I...

I understand you've always liked me.

That's why you kept your distance.

I did keep my distance from you.

You rescued me tonight.

I won't treat you as a servant.

You don't have to keep your distance.

Xiaoman? Xiaoman

I rescued you, but you put me in trouble.

What am I going to tell her?

She's just a country girl.

The night you cut off my arm...

she saved my life.

To be honest with you, you're wrong.

I never liked you

That's not the reason that...

I kept my distance from you.

I rescued you today.

because I owe it to your father.

But I've aIways loved you.

Loved me?

You tried your best to torture me.

You cut off my arm.

Because you were arrogant.

I don't want to hear about it.

It's late. Your father would be worried.

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

You live with that girl?

Yes, go home.

You won't come home with me?

Father misses you.

I rescued you today and that's it.

We won't see each other again.

You prefer a country girl to me.

Yes.

Xiaoman.

Xiaoman.

Xiaoman.

You should go home with her.

What're you doing here?

You've only heard her part of the tale.

I never liked her.

I told her that just now.

Why did you rescue her then?

She asked me the same question.

I owed it to my teacher, her father.

My teacher is heroic swordsman.

I can't let her...

be the cause of his ruin.

Had she been assaulted...

How could my teacher face anyone?

My Mom always said...

she'd rather marry a farmer,

and live happily and peacefully,

than marry a swordsman;

Because they'd die for...

the reputation of their teacher.

My father sacrificed himself...

to protect the book,

that he inherited from his teacher.

My Mom said they act heroically.

They appear righteous and courageous.

Girls always fall for them.

She told me not to be fooled.

Ironically, I...

Xiaoman, I am maimed.

I don't wish to be a swordsman anymore.

I just toId Pei-er the same thing.

I rescued her and repaid my teacher's kindness.

We would not meet again.

I'd like to stay with you and become a farmer,

if it's okay with you.

You mean it?

Yes, I mean it.

We must leave now.

I suppose Pei-er will tell her father...

that she saw you.

Your teacher might come looking.

But you have your house and field here.

It's okay. Mother left me some money,

which can support us for a while

I'll ask Grandpa Wang to sell the house,

and the field, and send me the money.

It's not my real homeland anyway.

I just want to be with you.

Then we leave at daybreak.

Should we report the death of Pei Xun,

to our teacher?

Normally, we'd be able to keep such things...

from our teacher.

But tomorrow is his birthday.

Learning about Pei Xun's death...

will only break his heart.

I think we'd better reveal the news later.

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

Teacher Qi is going to choose his successor.

He'll gather all his disciples here.

There are onIy 20 of us,

who are active outside.

Up to this moment, five of us are missing.

How can we fool him? I think...

I'll report to him then.

Quiet. Teacher is coming.

Teacher.

Be seated.

What're you talking about?

Nothing. We're just chatting.

You all grew up in front of me.

You think you can fool me?

I can see it's about some serious trouble.

It's definitely not just chatting.

Teacher, Pei Xun and 3 other brothers,

can not make it tomorrow.

We know you won't be happy about that.

Still want to fool me? I know it all.

Except for them, you're all here?

Where're Deng Chong and Lu Zhen?

They haven't arrived yet.

Could they be...

Don't worry, Teacher.

They've acquired most of teacher's swordsmanship,

especially Deng Chong. It'll be alright.

Brother, we walk too slowly.

I'm afraid we'll fall behind others.

Lu Zhen, can't you see...

I've deliberately slowed down my pace.

There's something unusual about Pei's death.

I believe we're watched by our enemy,

and they've created some techniques,

specially to counter our sword techniques.

I see. So you slow down your pace,

so as to lure the enemy to attack us,

and to find out who they are, is it?

And what sort of skills they use!

That's right. So don't fall asleep tonight.

Be careful and be on the alert.

We try to gather some information.

Tomorrow, our brothers will get together,

to celebrate teacher's birthday.

We'll think of something.

Right.

Go...

Okay.

See? We pretend not to know that,

and wait for them to come back.

Brother.

My two disciples have suffered serious injuries,

so I asked the Law brothers to help.

Here they are.

Thanks for your help.

What happened to your disciples?

I'll tell you some other time.

Because the Law brothers...

saw two of Qi's disciples,

in an inn a while back.

Tomorrow is Qi's birthday.

I believe we'll see more of them.

You and the Laws ambush them on the road.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang and I...

will handle the chaps at the inn.

Then we'll go to Qi's estate.

Yes.

Qi's disciples, come out now.

I'll go first,

and try to find out their strategy.

Who are you? What do you want from us?

Tell me your name first.

I'll tell you.

I am Deng Chong, Qi's seventh disciple.

This is my brother Lu Zhen.

I know who you are.

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

Those not concerned with this, leave now.

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

Yes...

Come on, return to your rooms now...

It's none of our business...

Let's go...

Come on.

Deng Chong.

Lu Zhen, go. You promised me.

Go, quickly.

It's late.

Let's stay in the inn tonight.

Alright.

Lu Zhen.

Fang Gang, what happened to your arm?

That's not important.

Tell me what happened to you.

Quickly.

Long-armed Devil is in the inn.

Deng Chong is seriously hurt.

Please go and tell our teacher and brothers,

that Long-armed Devil has killed...

five of our brothers.

He invented a strange weapon,

which can lock our golden swords.

When our swords are locked, he uses...

a knife with his right hand to kill us.

Lu Zhen.

He said Long-armed Devil is at the inn.

But Deng Chong is in there too.

He's dead. Report to the authorities.

Where are they?

They killed this man...

then leapt over the wall and left.

You stay in the inn and wait for me.

I must warn my teacher.

Are you going back?

Xiaoman, Deng Chong and Lu Zhen were killed.

They were heroic young men.

They too have parents, wives and children.

They too are loved by their families.

But they sacrificed themselves,

for our teacher and brothers.

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

but he still struggled to warn our teacher.

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

How can I let him down?

But, Ah Gang...

It's not only a matter of reputation.

They want to kill all my brothers.

Xiaoman, they're young men like me.

Can you help refraining from saving them?

If I Ieave with you

without warning my teacher and brothers.

I'll never find peace for the rest of my life.

Listen, everyone,

today's celebration is a bit different.

I believe Long-armed Devil wiII be here soon.

Deng Chong and Lu Zhen haven't arrived.

I'm afraid they might have been killed.

I decided not to invite guests,

since I plan to choose my successor today.

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

You're my families and disciples.

Let's change back to our fighting gear,

and bring your swords with you,

and wait for the enemy to show up.

Yes.

No.

-Where's the master? -Peace Bridge.

The Laws said they see no Qi's disciples.

Where is your uncle?

He's at Peace Bridge.

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

Yes.

Look, he's carrying a golden sword.

He has only one arm though.

Son, from your golden sword.

I can tell you are Qi's disciple.

But you have only one arm.

It's useless to you.

So why don't you give it to us,

and kowtow 3-times to each of us,

then we'll let you go.

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

Waiter, bring me some wine.

The waiter has left. Let me bring you some.

You know, if I were you...

I would leave immediately.

Go on.

I was blind.

You're Qi's disciple too.

You use your disability to fool us,

and stay near us to watch us carefully.

I now know who you are.

You're Long-armed Devil's brother.

Smiling Tiger Cheng Tianshou.

So, our identities are exposed.

We don't have to pretend now.

You owe my disciples two arms,

but you have only one left.

I'll have to kill you to get revenge.

Pull out your golden sword now.

Qi Rufeng, we're here.

Pei-er, bring me my sword.

Let's tackle the enemy first,

so as to find out their moves.

Right, fight for our teacher.

Father.

Long-armed Devil, long time no see!

Qi Rufeng, I'm here to settle an old score,

with you from 13 years ago.

I'll celebrate your death today.

Your martial arts must have improved a lot,

since our fight 13 years back.

But it wasn't a heroic act...

to ambush and kill my disciples.

You should've come straight to me.

Teacher, wait a minute.

Today is your birthday.

Let's handle them.

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

Qi Rufeng, listen.

I never killed your disciples.

My disciples did all the killngs.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang,

you fight with his disciples.

Yes.

Yes. Let's...

fight with your disciples.

Come on.

Come on.

Teacher, the lock...

Everyone, let's get revenge for our brothers.

Hu Yue.

You specially designed this weapon,

to lock my golden sword.

So let my sword meet your lock.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang, step down.

Let me settle my old score...

with him myself.

Teacher...

Qi Rufeng, you want to say something?

Hu Yue, you're not his match.

Long-armed Devil, I admit defeat.

I won't ask for your mercy.

But my family and disciples...

have nothing to do with this.

Please let them go.

Qi Rufeng, you know me better than that.

They'll get vengeance if I spare them today.

You intend killing them all?!

Teacher, don't ask for his mercy.

We'd rather die.

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

You're not my match.

I'll let you die.

Stop, I'll do it myself.

We prefer death before dishonor.

Our teacher won't beg for your mercy.

But Mrs and Miss Qi are ladies.

Let them go if you've any conscience left.

Qi Rufeng, will you kill yourself...

Or should I do it for you?

Father.

Hold it.

I'm Qi's disciple too.

Fang Gang.

Ah Gang!

Teacher.

Ah Gang.

I was delayed by Devil's brother en route.

I am late. Please forgive me.

Ah Gang, we suffered a crushing defeat.

What're you doing here?

You raised me and taught me martial arts.

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

at least I can die with you.

Ding Peng, Ba Shuang, look,

he has only one arm.

He wants to die with the others.

Well then, let's give it to him.

Alright.

Hey you, come on.

Ah Gang, we owe you too much.

You lost an arm.

You really shouldn't be involved.

Teacher, please take a seat.

Ah Gang.

So there is a swordsman like you...

among Qi's disciples.

Let me fight with you.

Well, do you accept defeat?

Fang Gang.

Fang Gang...

Teacher.

My daughter cut off your arm,

and you, however, return good for evil.

Even more valuable is that your martial arts...

has improved a lot in just a few months.

Teacher, I'm maimed.

I decided to lead an ordinary life

Then I got a martial-arts book...

from a girl,

who is waiting for me at the inn.

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

I will be a farmer.

Fang Gang.

Oh, papa.

My dear!
