You crossed the line

I'll break your leg

I dare you to cross the line

What if I do?

What insolence!

Come on, do it

Damn you...

Go to hell...

Damn you...

Go to hell...

Did you think such out-dated gimmicks

could have adverse effects on me?

And did you think your lousy tricks

could give me bad fortune?

Yes!

You pig!

Let's see what you have up your sleeve

...to cross the line even one step to my side

Bai Yu Tong, let's see what you've got...

to cross the line even one step to my side

Stop him...

Stop him, hold him there

Don't let him come over

Don't let him come over, stop him, hold him there

Go on, stop him, hold him there

Stop him...

Don't let him come over, stop him, hold him there

Don't let him come over

Don't let him come over

Draw your swords

See, mighty sharp

Put the sheaths back in

What are you looking at?

Draw your swords

See, exceedingly sharp! Put the sheaths back in

Each sword is made of pure steel

Are you blind?

Ours are much better

So?

Sharp, seamless and no joints

It's the greatest

Treasured sword...

Mine is indeed... a treasured sword

What's so funny? What are you laughing at?

I've won

Pick up the sword again

Pick up the sword again

Hit him

Brother, hack him

This is a real treasured sword

No, this one is

Damn you

What...

Come again...

Is it broken?

What are you looking at?

What?

Let us see it

You let us see it

You first

We'll show it together

Yours is chipped

Yours is broken

Broken?

We've won, that's great

What's the noise?

Stop it

Mother

This...

Cheung Ping, who made this sword?

Don't get angry, it's not worth it

We haven't lost

Haven't lost?

What's the big deal? We're even

Not even, we have won

Sister, brother has won

You...

Brother, use more strength

Hold on to him

Hold on to him

Do you think you could hold me?

One knot

One knot

You've crossed the line

Tie him up...

Tie him up quickly...

I've tied you up

No, I've tied you up

You're bluffing

Come here...

How many knots?

Brother, he has many knots

How many knots?

I have lost count

I have lost count

Well? Speak

I have lost count also

I've won

Stop

Did I win...

No...

It was more like an even score...

An even score, I don't believe it

Let's ask teacher, come on

We've won

Count it, we've won

What's the big noise out there?

Don't they know I'm doing calligraphy?

Teacher...

Please be a witness...

Be a witness? Come in, you lot

Teacher, please open the door

Teacher

Mind my beard

Our rope darts

Rope darts... they are tightly tied

Teacher, who has more knots?

Watch the 'longevity' character

Do you realize I've written these characters to

celebrate the birthday of the prefectural magistrate?

Teacher...

Shut up, you want me to ascertain

who has made more knots, right?

Yes

You want to hit teacher?

Teacher, there are 3 in front

4 at the back, and below...

Stop arguing

Teacher, his knots...

Now there are no more knots

Teacher, you're good

You've untied all our knots with a few moves

Of course

Teacher is afraid you might lose to me

...that's why he did it

You...

Well?

I...

Bai Yu Tong

Teacher, do you know that my move just now

Luckily I ducked fastjust now

My plants...

Then I kicked...

and tied him up

Bai Yu Tong, you...

I have also tied you up

You animals, my 'longevity' character

Right, that's a the way to tie him up

You...

Jien Chiu, you didn't tie up well

Says who?

Says who? I say so...

See this?

What are you doing? It's a mess

Stop it

Do you know you've ruined that 'longevity' character?

Yes

Come here

You too

Who's better of the two?

Brother

Come here both of you

Come on

Brother

You want to get away?

When are you two going to...

stop competing?

Beat him...

Right

Beat him at what?

I tell you both

Your kung fu is more or less the same

Right

No

No, I disagree

My brother is better

I also disagree

My brother's kung fu is better than yours

You don't believe it?

Come then, fight again

Fight again if you don't believe it, fight...

Stop quarrelling

You must know who is better, right?

Yes

Right then, there is only one way to find out

How?

Fight again

Stop, I'm not asking you to fight with each other

but to fight with me

Fight with you?

That's right, the one who can beat me

is the winner, come on

Brother, don't let him take advantage, don't fight

Don't fight, or you'll lose to Jien Chiu

What?

It's immoral to fight against one's teacher

Come on... fight

Don't you want to see who wins?

You've won?

Go away, all of you

I said I have won, who would know?

You've lost? This kills me, you're so useless

No matter whom we lose to

we cannot lose to that Jien Chiu

You have shamed our ancestors

Look at you

Namo - Blessed be to Amitabha!

Why have you deserted me?

Let us win

Use more strength, lazy bone

Aunty

What is it?

We haven't lost

It's just a draw

Go to hell

Come here

Yu Tong's kung fu should beat his

My son's swordsmanship

and such punching skills, how could he lose?

That's right, there is no reason for teacher to say

my kung fu and Jien Chiu's are more or less the same

Your damn teacher is favouring Jien Chiu too much

That's right

What?

Mom, teacher asked me to fight with him

if I win, that'd tantamount to beating Jien Chiu

Then did you fight him?

No

Why?

It's Cheung Ping's fault. He said if I fought teacher

Jien Chiu would mock me as being immoral

That's right

Cheung Ping

Yes?

Do you know what it means to be

better than the best?

That is to beat teacher

Beat teacher

Yu Tong

Yes

Beat teacher

Come

You've improved

Teacher, do you admit to losing?

No

Have you lost yet?

Who's losing?

I haven't lost, I have merely put down my sword

So you're not fighting anymore

No, I am waiting for you

You didn't get me

You missed again

Bai Tong, no need to kill yourself even if you've lost

When have I lost?

Bai Yu Tong, you can't win me

I can beat Jien Chiu

I told you before

You kung fu is similar to Jien Chiu's

You are siding with him

I taught you both

Wouldn't I know better?

Can't you see the point?

Yes, I can't beat you, I'll beat Jien Chiu

Then take my sword

Right, I'll go

Ready, here I come

1,2,3,4

That's not counted

Of course it is counted

Brother Bai, what's up?

I'll kill you

Come on

If you want to fight

Set a time and place

What is this?

I just fought with teacher

You did?

Yes

Look at you, you must have been defeated

Right

Teacher beat me, now I've come to beat you

Wait

What is this strange weapon you use?

Teacher used this sword to fight with me

Now I use it to fight you

Bai Yu Tong, I'll show you no mercy today

Must be beaten

Hit him, beat him up...

Teacher's sword

Brother, hit me, quick

You can't retreat

Have you finished?

Brother, why put down your sword? Fight him

Go on, fight

Can he beat me?

Come on

Brother, don't lose to him

you must win

Hasn't he lost yet?

Be careful

Take it

Careful with your hands

What a good sword teacher has given me!

What are you afraid of?

My brother is not afraid of you

You and get your weapons

Stand still

I, Bai Yu Tong...

never take your rusted swords

Take it...

Come, take it

Now it's a fact you can't beat me

Jien Chiu, do you admit you've lost?

I didn't realize your kung fu has improved markedly

This time, I admit...

I've lost

Nonsense

My brother is only pitying you

because you had a hard time from teacher

My brother is letting you off easy

You bitch, what rubbish are you saying?

Teacher gave me a hard time?

I tell you both

teacher was teaching me

Brother, don't show him any mercy

Hit him...

Hit him...

Don't move, stand back

Brother

You can't beat his nine-ringed sword

You know your place

Though you are my senior

when it comes to kung fu, I'm better than you

Brother, look at him

Teacher, you're so committed... teacher

The nine-ringed sword is so effective

Yu Tong, this time teacher is fair

you've won with the nine-ringed sword

We've won

Goddess of Mercy, you are really...

The answer to our prayers

You're so merciful

Teacher

Teacher

My greetings to you

A dried up leafless tree; there's always a difference

Since there is a difference

Why should we be treated...

differently?

Jien Chiu, though paint brushes have different weights

Don't my paintings...

all have brilliant colours?

Yes, I agree

teacher's paintings have different colours

but I don't understand why

brother Bai has the nine-ringed sword

What don't you understand?

Pull out my paint brush

That's it? Aren't you going to hit me?

Come and get it

Is it easy?

Yes

You understand now?

You want to paint?

Get my brush again, come on

Thank you teacher

Bai Yu Tong, watch out this time

Are you trying to defeat my nine-ringed sword

with that broken spear?

What broken spear? Teacher gave it to me

You're in trouble, teacher gave you such a thing

so you could lose again

He crossed the line

Come on, fight

You've lost

You're scared

I am sure to win

Brother, I've got skills, right

Damn you

What happened?

Teacher, what a great technique you've taught me

Your teacher is ruthless

What do you mean?

Using the spear to defeat your nine-ringed sword

How ruthless!

Defeat my nine-ringed sword?

I don't believe it

Can't move, right?

How can you beat my nine-ringed sword, fool

Did you forget what the teacher said about weapons:

The longer the better?

Yes, the spear is longer than the sword

Why don't you pull it out?

Teacher has to beat you up to teach you kung fu

Teacher really loves me

Teacher didn't hit me...

yet he taught me how to defeat the nine-ringed sword

Damn teacher...

Fifth brother

What?

Still fighting?

Of course

There are only 3 rings left

Only 3 rings

I don't want it, damn

Adding a few more rings it'll be a 9-ringed sword

Brother, your temper will kill you

Brother, never mind him, you've won

The Jien family has won

We've won...

Jien Chiu, good, I'll look for teacher tomorrow

and learn something else to defeat you

Fifth brother, it's no use

Why?

You learn from Teacher to defeat Jien Chiu

Teacher will teach Jien Chiu to defeat you

You have a point

Then the result will still be a draw, right?

So what should we do?

I have it

I have a sure-win plan

What is it?

I'll make teacher teach you all he knows

...in one single night

All that he knows?

Right

My beard...

Who? Who is it?

Bai Yu Tong, you two again?

That's right

What are two up to...

all dressed in your gear?

To wish you well

Good, go and rest

Moustache

It's been cut

Too bad

My moustache

It's here

You cut it?

No... he did

You bastard

Hit...

Good move, remember it

Yes

My moustache, Bai, you're a bastard

Do you know how long I've grown it?

I'll kill you

My ass

Get up

Cutting my moustache!

Remember, Serial Palm strike

Serial Palm strike

Teacher, continue

I'll kill you

You want to escape?

Kid, you want to escape?

He won't, he's waiting to be beaten up

Waiting to be beaten up?

Yes

Teacher, get a big knife

Get a big knife

Go on

Hit me

Sword

How about the axe?

Is this good enough?

If not, then get a big forked implement

Here, catch it

C'mon, catch...

See if the Lui Po spear is good enough

Which is it?

The one with the plume

Right?

Yes

Teacher, take it

All bruised

Are you alright?

Don't use so much force, it's hurting me

Fifth brother, this is hard training

Indeed, so hard on me

Be patient

I can't, I can't take it...

Bastard

Enough?

Teacher, you're a hero and an upright person

when you see people you've got to...

smooth your moustache to create an air about you

Now it is cut

how could you face people from now on?

You must beat him up to ease your anger

You must beat him up...

Okay...

Hit him...

Hit him...

It's painful

Madam

lt'll be dawn soon, aren't you sleeping?

Yu Tong, what are you doing?

Aunty, haven't you slept?

What are you doing?

Come out

Is Yu Tong not feeling well?

No, he is practising kung fu

Practising kung fu?

I am practising kung fu

Why are you making such noise?

Madam, fifth brother has just returned from

training with teacher tonight

How did it go?

Fantastic

Teacher taught him all his skills

Is that right?

Yes, I learned everything

Great, Jien Chiu will be in trouble

Cheung Ping, give my orders to...

challenge him to a dual tomorrow at the Rainbow Bridge

This quick

Strike the iron while it's hot

Waited long?

That damn rat hasn't shown up yet?

Sister, we've been had brother Bai this time

It can't be; the challenge letter...

clearly asked us to bring the complete set of weapons

This is precisely the problem

Look, our men are heavily laden by the weapons

Brother, maybe he's scared of you

Not really

They're here

You...

Who are you?

Bai Yu Tong

Really? Why do you cover your face?

Are you an impostor?

What? Who else could he be?

Who am I?

Sister, he says he is Bai

He is Bai Yu Tong?

Why so shy?

Why are covering your face from others?

Just like a bride

Fifth brother, people will laugh at you

Cheung Ping, tell Bai Yu Tong

he has the option to admit defeat

That's right

Why ask a freak to come?

What did you say?

Freak, I won't fight you

If you won't, who will?

We'll not fight, sister, let's go

Halt

If you don't fight, you'll have to admit defeat

What nonsense, you...

You are...

You have to hang on...

What happened to you?

Brother Bai, who...

Stand still, don't come over

Don't be angry, I'll avenge you

Damn you, hit him

Teacher did this

Teacher?

Cheung Ping, why is half your moustache missing?

Why don't you shave it all?

Ask him

Brother Bai

Yes?

What wrong have you done

that teacher beat you like this?

Nonsense, teacher was in fact teaching me

Look how much effort he put into this

Still, it's somewhat overdone

What would you know, this is hard training

Right, and you're qualified for it

Each man has his good fortune

Then has teacher taught you everything?

Of course

Are you afraid?

If you are, then admit you've lost

That's right

Admit you've lost

Admit losing?

If I have to admit losing...

Nonsense, we haven't fought yet

it's not been decided who has won or lost

That's right

He doesn't admit to losing

Jien Chiu, get the weapons

Brother, I'll get them for you

Brother

Bai Yu Tong, why don't you grab a weapon?

Isn't this a weapon?

Right, sister, step aside

No, you must grab a weapon

Bai Yu Tong, you're disadvantaged

Disadvantaged?

If you don't grab a weapon

mine will hurt you

Brother

His moves are exactly like yours

He's finished

Fight

Fight

Brother

Fifth brother, are you alright?

I'm fine

Teacher didn't fight like this

But I knocked off his sword

didn't I? Didn't I?

Right...

Nonsense, my brother's sword has already

stabbed your chest

Right?

Right...

Stop that noise

It's a draw, grab your weapons again

You're still empty-handed?

Right

Did teacher really teach you that well?

It goes without saying

Brother

Fight

You bastard

Have you forgotten those moves?

I do, but they don't work

See?

Without weapons you're disadvantaged

Remember those moves, fight

Bai Yu Tong, grab your weapon

Sister, weapon

Brother

Are you alright?

You got hit?

A hit on each side

Fifth brother, still a draw?

Is there a flaw in what teacher taught?

I don't think so

Try again, fight

Bai, you're sly to use this technique

Grab your weapon and fight again

Here, catch it

C'mon, catch...

Brother, are you alright?

I'm fine

Surprise tactic wins, teacher has taught well

There you go

Luckily our steel sword has been tempered well

or it would have been broken

Right, luckily ours is the real thing

or it would have been broken

Stop fighting

Stop fighting? Are you nuts? I must fight

Still want to fight?

Yes

Alright, grab your weapon

You bastard

Brother

Fight

Fight... hit him

Beat him up

Fight...

Brother, fight quicker this way

Beat him up

Fight...

Help him over

Alright...

Come, be careful

Sister if I knew this would happen

we should give some leeway to Bai Yu Tong

No

Bai is so arrogant

even if you can stand him, I can't

You're right

Why has teacher taught him

by beating him but not as...

effectively as last time with the nine-ringed sword?

Brother, it must be that you have improved

It can't be, teacher has not taught me

I say he has not taught you anything at all

I'm really very hurt

So damn pissed off...!

Look at yourselves

all beaten up

I say your teacher intended to

help Jien Chiu beat you up

And I deliberately let him beat me

Cheung Ping

Yes?

The more you get beaten up the more you learn, right?

Yes

Mom, it's him again

Cheung Ping

Madam, don't be angry, I have a plan

What else could we do?

Ask fifth brother to question teacher

and ask for an apology

what if he doesn't apologise?

Then we'll not learn from him anymore

Good idea

My poor baby

Teacher

Teacher

Come out

If you don't well come in

Teacher, you're already unfair to me

now you hit me with a broom stick

I will not learn from you anymore

I'll practise on my own

I'm determined to beat Jien Chiu

Hear that?

Hear that?

Why are you still pushing the door?

Didn't you say you'll leave me? Rebel!

Teacher

Get out, now

It's me, teacher

It's you, Jien Chiu

It's so late, what do you want?

Teacher, I...

What do you want?

I want to see you

Good boy

There's no need to come and see me anymore

Why?

Don't ask, go home

Yes

Goodnight, teacher

Teacher

Teacher, you have a toothache?

Look at you

why don't you let me get some medicine for you?

That will help you calm down

Go...

Let me have a look

Teacher

I don't have a toothache

Teacher, why is your moustache

cut like this?

That's right

Teacher, you look funny like this

It's all because of that bastard Bai Yu Tong

Teacher, why don't you let me cut it for you

It's all because of you two

your rivalry has caused this... ade me ugly

No wonder when we fought today

his kung fu hasn't improved

you didn't teach him

but only hit him, right?

He not only cut my moustache

but also said he won't learn from me anymore

He's learnt enough

No, teacher, I haven't learnt enough

Jien Chiu, I teach you both kung fu

but you don't use it properly

and all you care is to fight with each other

You disappoint me so much...

I let you fight...

I'm so angry...

Don't be angry

Fifth brother...

don't be angry, have some wine

No

Listen

How can I not be angry

I have no face at all now

Calm down

What reason is there to drive me out?

Precisely

Don't bother me

Stop it

Wait

I'm so bored

Master

Stop bothering me

Give them some silver and have them on their way

Go... go on...

Leave... quickly

Get lost, all of you

Fifth brother, let it be

Don't lose your temper

You'd lose your temper if you were me

What reason is there to drive me out?

Blatant, reckless

Ask who he is?

Shopkeeper

Who is he?

Him?

Never mind

Do I still need to learn from teacher?

No

Look

I am well-trained in kicks and punches

More than adequate

In regard to my jumping skill...

Am I not good?

You're really good

Great skill

Why bother to learn from your teacher?

It's me, be careful

Go...

Wait

Who can fight with me?

That's right

Hero...

What insolence, you dare belittle me?

Is my jumping skill not as good as his?

Why do you hold me back?

Don't you think I could jump over?

Master, it's our first visit to Jiang Nan

and we're strange to the environment

so you'd better not show your skills

Master Huang, you're tired

you should rest at the tavern

Oh!

Is there anywhere else I could see

someone with kung fu?

Yes, the Rainbow Bridge

Let's go now

Master Huang, you should rest first

Let's go tomorrow

Shui Sheung Piu (gliding on water)...

Chan Jien, your yelling

will scare all the fish away

I almost couldn't catch any

Shui Sheung Piu, come here

I have a way to make us rich

better than catching fish for the rest of your life

What is it?

I discovered a piece of treasured jade

just like the emperor's seal

It's so beautiful here

The Rainbow Bridge is really a rare sight

Come, men

Yes

Have you seen anyone with strange powers?

No

Let's go ashore and take a look

Master, let's stay in the boat

we can see clearer

What?

Yes, it's safer

See? Five fishes with one hook

Master Huang...

Protect the emperor

Is he there...?

Master Huang

Did you find him...?

Why hit me? I'm not Jien Chiu

you still want to run away?

I'll kill you

Come up

you still want to run away?

You can't get me

Don't forget they call me the Water Rat

You dare talk back?

I'll kill you

Bastard, see where you can run to

Come up

Got you this time

Cheung Ping

Come on, no more games, Let's have drink

Cheung Ping

Such a big stick, must have killed him

Where are you going?

Cheung Ping, come up quickly

Don't scare me

Come up quickly

Looks different, not this one

Cheung Ping...

Where are you going? Cheung Ping...

Hey, friend...

Wake up...

Have you seen someone

with a moustache like yours

except that it curls up

Speak up, please answer me

I'm tied up, save the emperor

Shut up, I am looking for Cheung Ping

have you seen him?

Fourth brother

Who are you?

Bastard, you want to cheat me of my profit?

Who cares for your profit? Is fourth brother there?

He's mine

You are just a nobody

how dare you fight with Master Bai?

You are not qualified to fight with me either

Give me his dragon jade

It's there, are you blind?

You've no business here, go away

You want a share too?

You take me for a thief?

No one dares to ask Master Bai to leave

Good technique

Where are you from?

You want to know my background? I'll tell you

I am master Bai Yu Tong

known as... The Rat

So, you're the pupil of Si Da Fu

Don't you dare mention my ungrateful teacher

Gone so quickly!

Hero

What is it?

Why don't you go after him?

None of your business, I...

I don't know how to swim

Come down if you dare

Of course I dare, come up if you have guts

What? You dare not?

I dare not?

Hero, jump in

Why do I need to listen to you?

I order you

I am telling you to jump in

I am asking you

Why should I listen to you?

Jump in...

Go on

You...

He's sunken

You want to get away?

While Water Rat is here, you're only second fiddle

Good

What a master

Keep your praises, you dare to move?

Shui Sheung Pui, have you got it?

What happened to you?

Chan Jien

Shopkeeper?

Let me

You dare to set an ambush?

No... hero

I have a ninety-year old mother

and... 4 wives

32 kids needing my support

Let me go...

Alright, leave

Go, scram

Fifth brother, I've got him

Now, who's the better of the two?

When it comes to the water, you're the best

Right?

When it comes to kung fu, I'm the best

See him off

Go on

Let's go

Go

Gentlemen

What is it?

Kneel down

What did he say?

I said kneel down

You ask me to kneel?

Yes, you have successfully protected the emperor

I want to knight you

Knight us?

Yes

Doesn't that make you Emperor?

Yes

Then who am I?

You're the emperor's boss, then

Go to hell

the Emperor

this is my jade seal

Look, this is my jade seal

You...

If you hadn't saved me, I'll...

wipe out your families

Your highness...

We're late, and deserve a million deaths

You fools

I have waited for you a long time

We deserve a million deaths

Arise

Than you, your majesty

Your highness...

Don't be afraid

With my skills, no one can come near me

Yes

But I met a gifted person here

Bai Yu Tong The Rat

Forgive me that your majesty has to condescend

...to stay here

Arise

Thank you, your majesty

Minister Huang

Your majesty

I'm travelling incognito in the South

My objective is to meet people with great skills

I planned to meet them at the inn

But my men advised

it'd be better if I didn't expose myself

So I'll stay at you place temporarily

I am greatly honoured by your stay

As to your itinerary...

my lips are sealed

Please don't worry

Minister Huang

Here, your majesty

Is there anywhere near here...

where heroes with great skills appear?

Sire, what kind of people are you referring to?

Fool, like me...

Be careful, your highness

Don't you think my hsing kung is good enough?

Of course we do

Sire, you refer to hsing kung? Yes, at Bamboo Slope

Really?

Then I will have a match

He is the emperor

The emperor's jade seal is worth much

Getting it will provide for us over ten life times

But the defence is stern; too risky to do anything now

Never mind, we'll not do it tonight

we'll wait for him at the woods

Halt, you're over-stepping the line

Cheung Ping, I want to ask

if my sister has been bothering you?

Your sister? She's gone to the Bamboo Slope

Bamboo Slope? What for?

How would I know?

Miss, if you do not leave here

I'll have to use force

And if you do not leave here

I'll also use force

Right, wait for me outside Bamboo Slope if you dare

I'll teach you a lesson after I finish my business

Right, then you leave first

I'll teach you a lesson after I finish my business

It's real a scenic spot here

You're leaving, you dare not fight any more?

Hey, what are you gang doing here?

Miss, this is a scenic spot

and we've come to enjoy the scenery

Go and make your tour somewhere else

and don't get in my way, I'm waiting for someone

Who are you waiting for?

Stand there

How dare you!

I wouldn't mind telling you

I'm waiting for that rat Bai Yu Tong

Bai Yu Tong? What is your relationship with him?

That's none of your business, he's my enemy

Enemy?

Has he bullied you?

Damn, it's somewhere near here

Who dares bully the sister of Jien Chiu?

Jien Chiu?

Who is he?

I don't know

You fools

you haven't even heard of

the great kung fu master Jien Chiu

Insolence

You dare to...

Step down

You're the sister of hero Jien

then your kung fu must be good

Of course, that's why I've asked you to leave

So that when I fight with Bai Yu Tong...

I'll not hurt you

How could I miss your fight

...with Bai Yu Tong?

No way

Leave now

Step down

Good jumping skill

Miss, let's see how good you are

If you could jump higher than me, I'll leave

Agreed

Majesty...

Is my jumping skill not as good as hers?

No

Step down

Protect the emperor...

Protect the emperor

Did Bai Yu Tong send you?

No, you used a trick

Who did?

You did

You did

Yu Lan

The jade seal is with them

Protect the emperor

Brother

Who are you?

Brother

Sister, be not afraid

You're Jien Chiu? Protect the emperor

Good kung fu

A great master

Sister, what happened?

Step down

You fools

See how others do a betterjob than you

Don't move

Why use a net to catch my sister?

You want a share too?

I'll give you a share of the jade seal

So you two are thieves

Excellent skills

Thanks

Sister, let's go

Jien Chiu, wait

What is it?

Kneel down

What?

I'm no thief and I don't want your seal

Put it away

I am the Emperor

The treasure of Yang Xi (the Emperor)

Sister, kneel, we didn't know, pardon us

Your majesty

Jien Chiu, you have successfully protected the Emperor

I knight you as the royal sword bearer

Thank you, your majesty

Arise

Thank you, your majesty

Go to hell

Wait

Your majesty, please forgive me

I know I am not competent for the post, I'll step down

Nonsense

You are a rare master and

more than eligible for the job

I just thought of another master

Sire, who is that?

Bai Yu Tong

Sire wants to knight him as...

No, this man is too audacious

and has nicknamed himself The Rat

He dared to touch my forehead

The Rat is so impertinent

With my skill, could he have touched me?

I'll arrest him at once

No, his kung fu is similar to yours

he is also a master, to me...

he has his merits

I can't knight him nor arrest him

I don't know what to do with him

Sire, you know best

Your majesty

Report

Your majesty...

Knight Jien Chiu again

Thank you, your majesty

I'll give you a royal title, the Royal Cat

Jien Chiu is made the Royal Cat?

So he really is...

Really is...

Really is the emperor

The emperor

Cheung Ping, Jien Chiu saved the emperor like I did

Yes

Now he is the royal sword bearer

That's right

He has been made the Royal Cat...

Why...

Listen

Never mind

If he is the Royal Cat, then I'm The Rat

The Rat pursued by the cat, damn it...

What are you looking at? Get lost!

Go away, scram

Get lost

Fifth brother

The Royal Sword bearer, our family is blessed

Fifth brother, are you alright?

Jien Chiu's swordsmanship commands respect

The Royal Cat's paw unifies the world in peace

Cheung Ping, tear it down

We can't do that

Why not?

It's been given by the Emperor, we'll lose our heads

I was wrong...

We're all done

Let's go in and enjoy the celebration feast

I was wrong...

- Master... - Fifth brother

Master, madam wants you

Mother I'm coming

My legs are weak and can't move, help me in

Help him in

Madam, the goddess statute has arrived

where should we put it?

Put your ass, throw it away

What?

Throw it away now

Yes...

You fool

You've lost a great opportunity

You could have been a senior official

now Jien Chiu has got the post

That damn Emperor

Kneel down, you make me so mad

What are you looking at? Are you crippled?

You little bastard, you are the death of me

Our family cannot produce an official

what a shame to our ancestors

Madam

You have another idea?

Yes

You don't want Jien Chiu to a royal official, right?

I have a plan that will achieve this

Really?

Really

Tell me

This plan of mine

can be the death of the Royal Cat

Cheung Ping, what plan have you got?

Draw him out

and I'll finish him

Brother, that's a direct confrontation

What's to fear?

Can he defeat me?

That's to fight him openly

Right, that dead cat's hsing kung

is no match for mine

To fight him directly is useless

You mean we can't beat him?

Jien Chiu will not accept our challenge

Why?

Sit down first

Look at his position now

He is a royal official

and one attending on the Emperor

Why does he have to fight you,

right?

You damn cat

It's me

Fifth brother

We would have made it rich

Jien Chiu's position should have been mine

but now...

Fifth brother

Why kill yourself?

Says who? I only want to spit

I have a plan

that will ease your anger

What plan is that?

We must fight wisely

Fight wisely?

When an emperor travels

how does he prove his identity?

His jade seal

Right

Jien Chiu has to protect the emperor

as well as the royal jade seal

Then that means...

Yeah, I will not only make Jien Chiu lose his position

but will also make him die a slow death...

A slow death

Protect the emperor...

Wow, what a master!

The Emperor sleeps soundly

why did he yell like that?

He always has nightmares

Nightmares?

Yes

He thinks about this all day long

Don't disturb him then

What is it?

Somehow I feel

something is wrong tonight

Let's step up our vigilance

Relax

Stop fooling around

Lover, stop it

Well, does the Emperor have nightmares still?

Yes

What's the situation like here?

Quiet

Still, be careful

Yes

Go, go on

Lover...

Protect the emperor...

Brother Bai

It's me

You traitorous lot

to betray me like this

Sire

Ba Yu Tong, why did you attempt to assassinate me

We didn't

we came for the royal seal

My brothers have deserted me

Then you...

They have left me behind

Brother, behead me

Brother Bai

Go on

Your highness

Your highness

He is the gang's victim

Bai Yu Tong, you're a hero after all

Your majesty, I have a request

Let brother Bai retrieve the royal seal

and atone for his wrongs

Well...

Your highness, I'll guarantee with my head

brother Bai and I will get the royal jade seal back

Alright, I give you one day

...to retrieve it

Thank you, your majesty

Thank you, your majesty

This is the Xian Kong Island

I often come here with the gang

so I know it well

Regardless of where they hide

I'll find them, don't worry

Careful, mind you don't fall

Okay

If we find them

we'll find the jade seal

Careful, it's deep, one could be drowned

Look, over there

It's dangerous

The rocks are wet and slippery

nor even a cat can secure a foothold

In front, to the right...

Turn ahead

Careful

It's okay

Careful here

Good... that's it...

Back a bit...

Stop...

What?

Stop, here it is

This is the dangerous Bottomless Pit

Let's proceed with caution

Careful, though it appears calm

there could be an eddy

A raft like this

could be sucked in

What should we do?

What do you mean?

Let's use ourjumping skill

What are you doing?

The Sky Rat is up there

Jien Chiu

The Water Rat is below

Hold him, don't let him come up

Hold him, don't let him come up whatever you do

Be careful he'll drag you into the water

He's a good swimmer, you can't win

I'm frightened, think for yourself

Pull me up

How can I, I'm frightened

Come...

Where is my officer's hat?

I keep it

Thanks

What are you doing up here?

What to do?

You fight below, I'll fight above

I fight below?

Fight, go down...

Jien Chiu, have a good fight

I'm above

I fight above

Alright, fight

Don't let him come up

Kill him, stab him...

Hack...

It's me

Why hold on to me? Help me fight

Am I not helping you?

Why hold on to me? Let go

I can't, I am afraid of the water

Let go...

I can't

I'll drown

Let go...

I'll drown, help

Are you nuts?

No, he's up again

Hit him, don't let him surface

You fight here, I'll go up

I'm going up now

Come on, bastard

You fat rat

Then what are you?

Don't run, I'm coming up

I'll go up

Right, I'll climb the tree

It's me, what's the matter?

Brother Bai, it's you?

Quick, there's an under current

He got my leg, pull me up

Wait, I'll get you...

Oh no... I am afraid of the water...

Grab me, don't let go

I don't know how to swim and it's deep

Don't let go for anything

What's going on behind?

Drive him away

It's okay, I'm on shore

Dive... dive

You bastard

We're the same team

How come I didn't hear you say that just now

I got one

Jump

Jump, go on, why don't you jump?

Jump

Can'tjump, right?

Brother Bai, also got one

Speak, where is the royal seal?

Not with me

No, Search

How?

Search yourself

Search all over, what about down below?

Nothing

Your ass

My ass

Nothing either

Nothing either

How about you?

Search me

Nothing either

Where is it?

It's with big and second brother

Big and second brother?

He's gone, brother come here

He's gone under water again, come over, quick

Cheung Ping, hook his leg

Stand still

I'm going too

Stop, don't chase

You've torn your pants

Are you hurt?

I'm fine

Oh, the officer's uniform is ripped

How come I'm not hurt?

Never mind, the case takes priority

Hero, where are you going?

You know the way?

Right, you lead

Right

put back your officer's hat

Okay

Brother, why haven't you guarded my hat?

I've not let it leave my hands

I don't know...

How can I wear it like this now?

You have to, you should look like an official

Look neat and suave

Let's go

What are you doing?

Still tied to the rope

I'm afraid of falling into the water, hold it

Careful

Look down, not up, he'll appear any time

So comfortable

Back again?

To catch the big rats

Why don't we go to the other side to catch them?

Even those two little rats said they don't have it

Why bother with them, look out

You big rats, hand over the seal

Quick, hand it over

Back, careful...

What's the matter?

Come up quickly

What are you doing?

Have they come?

You asked me to step back

I said be careful of your back

the Ground Rat will appear any time

if he gets you, you'll be in trouble

Follow me, stay near the wall

Look to your right, look to your left

Nothing

Brother Bai

I'm here

You're nuts. Down below!

Brother Bai, why did you hit me?

Are you crazy? I didn't

The Ground Rat

I'll save you

Step aside

You dare come out

Your face is covered in mud, wash it

Let me take care of them

1,2,3, up

Up

Listen

You hit me wrong

Fight...

Got it

See, you fools

How can you beat my sword?

Wait

You're frightened

Brother Jien Chiu, they fear my sword

No

Hang on, Bai Yu Tong is familiar with the surroundings

Of course, come on

Come on

How's the fight?

You're clean now?

We've won

You traitorous lot

Hand over the seal

And you're spared

I'll spare you

If you want the seal, follow us

Come on...

I'll chase you

Brother Bai

Brother Bai, You...

I'm not on this side

I will not consort with you again

Neither will I

Without you we each get a bigger share

I'll get your share

Right, give me a bigger share

Great

You traitorous lot

Do you know, my brother...

vouched the safe return of the seal with his head

Give it back...

So if this lousy cat cannot get back the seal

he'll have to give up his head

You dare insult the Royal Cat bestowed by the Emperor?

Brother, you are all messed up

You don't look like a royal guard

Fix your uniform

What are you afraid of? Beheading?

Why would I fear?

A cat has 9 lives

I can die a few times and not fear

What?

Brother, don't lose your temper with them

Are you returning the seal or not?

No...

We'll never give it back

Then I'll beat you till you do

Bastard, you hit my leg

Brother, I'll help you

Why do you fight?

When it comes to kicks and punches, I'm better

You?

Stand aside and watch

Don't let them get away

Yes, I'm coming

Rat formation?

I know this as well, asshole

I used to be the leader

Fifth brother, mercy...

Now you call me fifth brother

Watch him

You want to run away? Watch me

Brother, another one

Brother Bai, watch your back

Don't let him disappear into the ground, stop him...

Don't let him drill the ground

Still drilling

Don't let him go through the rocks

Brother, let's stop fighting

These years

we brothers haven't fought for real

now I know your kung fu is better

That's right

Brother, you are a man of reason

to preserve our fraternal bond

Give him the seal so he can at least save himself

Your brotherly love is deep indeed

Of course

Brother Bai

What?

Go back with me and get knighted

If I want to be knighted, it'll be me first not you

The sun is going down

you'd better hurry to keep your head

Farewell

How dare you!

I'm really pissed off!

The people always say cats are rats' bane

Nonsense

Rat brothers

When Jien Chiu sees the emperor

he'll immediately present the royal jade seal

How dare you, Jien Chiu

to bring back a fake seal to fool me?

Your majesty, the seal is a fake?

To deceive your Emperor means death

Mercy

The royal jade seal

That's right, your majesty

this is your real seal

Jien Chiu

The jade seal is here, return it

You're dreaming

How could an incompetent Jien Chiu be the Royal Cat?

This is the real royal jade seal

Hero Bai, I knight you as...

the Royal Rat bearing 18 styles of weapons

Bai Yu Tong

Then we'll have our way from now on

Bai Yu Tong The Rat

I'm the Royal Cat Jien Chiu

Jien Chiu?

I knew you had a plot

A cat ultimately thwarts a rat's treachery

Thanks for the royal jade seal and farewell
