Cold is the sword, its beam breaks the night sky

Tear is a song, its melody doesn't go with a hero

Dignity mirrors the world, as snow reflects light

As unstable as snowflakes, the future is under mist

Alas my love, alas no love

Why to fall in love when love is impossible

Why go into the dark when light is unavailable

Tear as blood, both are hurting

All that matters, is a clear conscience

A conscience brighter than the stars and moon

A conscience that lets you tread alone

Tear is a song, its melody doesn't go with a hero

Longing as a song, its melody sung by a hero

Master, what is it that you want from me

...at this early an hour?

Something serious has happened

It's the biggest inexorable doom in a 100 years

Hence I need you to go downhill right away

The story goes like this:

My eldest apprentice Xiao Daishi...

before his death had cast a Tear-stain sword

But when the sword was unsheathed

It brought with it an unresolved omen

On his deathbed, he told me; on this sword...

would appear a date of the sad inscription

It's the time the world would face a crisis

This morning my worst fears came true

That's why I called for you

Take with you the sword down the mountain

And remember...

Be it a good sign or an evil omen

You have to settle it with this sword

To settle the most dangerous crisis of a 100 years

Yes, Master

But, before you go...

I need to inform you

of the present condition out there

At present, the most skillful man is the head of

The armed escort union

Sima Chaoqun

He is an honored man, nicknamed The Unbeatable

He is a true hero

But he's not the smartest person

The cleverest man and the most learned

ls the top aide of Sima Chaoqun

Zhao Donglai

He is a man of strategy

He has contributed a lot...

to Sima Chaoqun's rise to fame

Though Sima Chaoqun is nicknamed The Unbeatable

Still he has his counterpart

And that is Zhumeng of the Hall of Braveheart

Not only is he a man of honor, very skillful

But he's also very good with art; loves perfection

Dancing is his second life

it was said that he once met a lady

named " Graceful "

Together they have danced for three whole days

This has become a romantic legend

So, out of the three

Which one is the most skillful at present?

None of them

The most skillful one...

is a man you'd come across mostly wearing grey

With a wooden box on his back

Master, how'd you suggest I deal with this crisis?

It's all up to fate, I don't really know

How about this?

Sima Chaoqun and Zhumeng

Are already in conflict

This could be the start of the crisis

In a few days time...

is the enrollment ceremony of Sima Chaoqun

You go to the Changan Armed Escort Company

Changan Armed Escort Company?

Are you all fully prepared?

Yes

This grand ceremony is open to public

That means anybody can come in

Yangjian

...is one of the four top aides of Zhumeng

This time he has betrayed him

And instead joined our camp

Zhumeng will not let him go easily

He will try every means to kill him

I reckon you all should split up into different groups

Watching carefully each different corner

Understand?

Yes

Suntong, Zhengcheng

Yes

Have you sent someone to watch over

The front and the back, high and low?

The east and the west? Or the far and close?

It's all covered

Wangchao, Majin

Yes

Every setup ready inside and outside of the city?

And in every street big and small?

They are all ready

Good. The four of you come with me

Yes

Good morning, Chief

Good morning

Regarding tonight's ceremony

How is the preparation?

Everything is ready to go

We've arranged the 180 top fighters

To be divided into eight groups

Each group will watch over one area

Another thirty superb martial arts heroes...

are selected specially to deal with three men

Three men?

You need thirty guys to deal with three men?

That's right

Because one of the three happens to be Hanzhang

The other is Mull

Just these 2 men have killed over a hundred people

And surprisingly no one has ever seen them

How come?

Because those who have seen him, were killed

The third one is the strangest of the three

His name has never been heard of

He has just arrived here two days ago

He carries with him a sword wrapped up in cloth

You're right

Mull and Hanzhang are too famous

They carry with them an air of a killer

And is easily detectable

It will be hard for them to take action on Yangjian

Zhumeng only sent them here as a cover

The one to take action could be that young man

So it's left to me

To watch him closely

Donglai, you knew everything

And it seems that everyone

is within your control

Thanks

Your enrollment ceremony will be held tonight

I will send someone as a cover

Please

Come on

I remember a long time ago you said that...

You don't want to get hostile with Zhumeng

Yes. I've heard that he is an upright man

Very loyal

Then why take his betrayer as your follower;

And even set up an enrollment ceremony?

Donglai mentioned that The Hall of Braveheart

...is the only one that did notjoin our union

Of which I'm the chief

Hence I agreed to do this

I mean, just to show him my authority

But in this case

It would infer treating him as an enemy

That's what Donglai meant

Did you notice that...

In these few years, you've devoted a lot of time

to calligraphy and painting

You've gained enough vision in fine arts

But not in martial arts

Moreover...you're not the same Union Chief

As you were in the past

Because no matter what

Everything is arranged by Zhuo Donglai

Everything big or small, Donglai did it for you

That's right

Because Donglai is really a clever man

Smart, and is very able

The Chief arrives

Greetings to you, Chief

Greetings to you all

The enrollment ceremony of Sima Chaoqun

Union Chief of all 39 Armed Escort Companies

is about to begin...

Yangjian from the Hall of Braveheart, kowtow

Protect Yangjian, go to the secret room

You might be able to make it

But now it's too late

Don't worry

Nobody can enter there to kill

Because it is a concealed room

Well, I know of someone who can

Who?

The man with the wooden box

So he's here?

I saw him

Open the door, open the door

Did anyone come in?

No

- Open the door - Yes

This is the result of being a traitor

Yangjian?

You see

The man with the wooden box

I've already told you

There is one person that can kill in here

Who exactly are you?

I'm here to watch killing

How did you know about the wooden box man?

Because I saw him

How do I know that you weren't sent by Zhumeng?

Because I am not

Good. I trust you

If you have to go, you can go now

But, before you go

Let me see your sword

My sword only shows its face when it's time to kill

Just now I didn't kill, so I didn't unsheathe my sword

What if someone wants to kill you?

You can try

Not me. It's up to our Chief to decide...

whom to kill

Because only he is the truly unbeatable

You can leave now!

I will inform you of the location and time later on

By then I will get to see your sword!

Good!

Nailed Shoe

The head of Yangjian is here

Yet the man with the box is nowhere to be found

Lock up all the city gates

Yes

Go, quickly...

Master, the head of Yangjian is here

Did he say anything?

Anything?...He said only one thing

That he has repaid all your kindness now

After that he left with his wooden box

Right. He's a man of his word then

At least we've planned it right this time

Zhuo Donglai, Zhuo Donglai

Everyone said that you're Zhuge Liang reborn

But this time, I'm the ultimate winner

When you were in Changan, did you get...

Not really

But when I came in here

Zhuo Donglai is searching everywhere

He also said that every exit will be heavily guarded

Don't you worry, I can come in and out as I wish

Hey, when can we go out of the city?

I don't know

It's really disgusting

What happened today?

No one is allowed to go out of the city

Because of what happened yesterday night

Whoever passes by has to be searched

According to my spy

Zhumeng will pass by here today

I'm Suntong, the Head of Guard here

The spy from the Hall of Braveheart reported that

Zhumeng will pass by here before noon

Now it's already past noon

That means Zhumeng is already here!

I'm declaring war on him, one to one

But, if he's too chicken to show his face

Then...

I'll just randomly pick up ten people to kill

So that the whole world knows

Zhumeng is the cause for their deaths

Who are you?

I'm Zhumeng

I'll now fight with you, one to one

Don't you try to kill the innocent

I'm more than willing to have a match with you

But, you're not Zhumeng

How do you know?

Because you didn't bring with you Yangjian's head

But I brought along my sword

Didn't you say one to one?

So you've set up all the ambush

If you place your trust in a man of the world

Then you are a fool

Listen, Zhumeng, this man is innocent

He's the first one to die for you

Go on

Hold it there!

I'm Zhumeng here; ls there anyone who dares?

Zhumeng's head is here, come & take it if you dare

Young man, you're upright and kind-hearted

I admire you

I would like to befriend you, how's that?

Good

What's your name?

I'm Gao Jianfei, you're Zhumeng

Of course I'm Zhumeng

You're pretty skillful

So are you

You're a nice guy

Let's make a bond as brothers, how's that?

Good!

How old are you?

Of course I'm older than you

So you're big brother

And you're little brother

Big brother, you go first, leave this to me

Bullshit!

We've vowed already

We should stay together in life or death

By the way, if I die today, and if you have the

Chance of meeting a lady named Graceful

Tell her not to wait for me

Zhuo Donglai?

Zhuo Donglai?

Everyone here is a top fighter from our union

I do want to witness how you can leave here

They said that Zhuo Donglai is not easy to deal with

So it's better to see you in person to prove that

If I let you go

Am I still Zhuo Donglai?

Gao Jianfei? How come?

How did you get messed up in this?

Maybe I'm still naive

So I still believe in justice

Then hope you won't die in here!

Coz you have an appointment with our Chief

I need someone here!

Yes

Take these two men down

Yes

Hold on

It's not two, it's three

I may not be good enough to swear with you

But at least I can die with you!

How nice!

Another innocent death?

Master Zhuo, look

Look, Master Zhuo

Don't panic, Master Zhu

No one can touch you while I'm here

Let's go

Good

Hold on

Big brother, this is where we part

What? Aren't you coming to Luoyang with me?

Didn't you hear what he said just now?

I still have an appointment with Sima Chaoqun

Is it the usual veggie noodle?

Yes, the usual one

Q kaY

A bowl of veggie noodle

My last name is Gao, Gao Jianfei

I know

Yangjian is killed by you?

You knew that?

Your noodle is here...

I'm leaving. Coming along?

So you've waken up

Why did you bring me here?

I didn't bring you here, you followed me

You said your name is Gao Jianfei

That's right

The mountain that you live at, is there a spring,

An old pine tree, and an old man?

How do you know?

Because a while back I inspected your sword

There's a tear stain on it

So it's because of this sword

That you tried to bring me here

You can say that

Who exactly are you?

Why did my Master say that

You're the most fearful man of the world?

Why did you kill Yangjian?

Because in my entire life

I've been saved by two persons

One of them is Zhumeng

I killed Yangjian to repay his kindness

But that has nothing to do with...

In that case, you acted all because of this sword

Correct

Because all my life I was looking for this sword

And the person who carries it

Why?

Come with me

These are all the precious treasures of the world

As well as the most dangerous weapons

And this is the legendary mysterious wooden box

It contained the essence of thirteen weapons

At the blink of an eye...

It can turn into a weapon that can be used

As thirteen different weapons

No wonder that day at Zhuo Donglai's secret room

it looked as if more than 10 guys had a fight in there

Why are you telling me all these secrets?

Because I want to leave everything here for you

But, only upon one condition

That is, unless I die, otherwise

You have to stay here forever

Why do you want me to stay here forever?

Because I'm trying to gamble with fate

Somebody told me that

Since the day I was born

I'm destined to be killed under this sword

I don't quite believe that

So, I want to make this deal with you

Don't you worry; I've no intention to kill you

Moreover, you're much more skillful than I am

It won't be easy for me to kill you

But, fate is the will of God

It's something beyond our anticipation

So I want you and this sword to stay here forever

No

I won't stay here

Because when I left

My Master told me

To bring this sword with me, so as to deal with

The most serious crisis in a hundred years

No matter it's life or death, good sign or an omen

This is a crisis of the world

It has to be settled by this Sword of Tears

Tears...tears...

Is this really the will of God?

Anyway, thanks for your kindness

Good bye

Hold on

I forgot to tell you one thing

Whoever comes in here...

Cannot go out alive

Why?

Because I gave everybody a fair chance

One of the two bottles of wine here is poisoned

Unfortunately

Everybody chose the poisoned one

So I can go after drinking it?

Of course

Why did you choose that one?

Because just now I saw you...

drink from the other bottle

So I chose this one

Strange

I'm still alive

Why don't you choose the same one?

That's the reason they died

You must have taken the antidote before you drank

That's why you won't be affected

In fact, this one is the poisoned one

You're really clever

Maybe this is the will of God as well

You little slut, how dare you take my thing?

Give it back to me

Who says I wish to keep it

But now is not the time to return

Why?

Because there is someone...

who wants to return this to you in person

Who is it?

If you want to know

Then come here tonight!

Tonight?

The jewellery you wanted

is all in here

You are...

I'm Gracie

And also the little slut of this morning

Please

Why do you want to see me?

Do we need a special reason to be friends?

Or could it just be...destiny?

Am I ugly?

No

On the contrary, you're very charming

Thank you

Have you ever heard that...

It's best to see the moon next to this lake

Really?

There is also this legend

A poet has built a house here

Just for the sake of seeing the moon

All the way until his death

But...

Worldly people do not have this luxury

Are you okay?

I've stumbled into this wooden chair, my chest hurts

Let me see

A mingled dream in a starry night

Two thorny paths where the ends won't meet

Gracie

Gao Jianfei, first of February

The ruins of Han nobleman, Zhuo Donglai

Gao Jianfei is truly a man of his word

I even thought that you've left with Zhumeng

Zhumeng and I are not closest of friends

We've just met

And I'm not a member of the Hall of Braveheart

Why should I flee?

Moreover, I've made a promise with you

How could I go back on my word?

Very nice! Please

No offense

The Sword of Tears is really amazing

Who is that man in grey?

He is the killer of Yangjian

Always carried along the legendary wooden box

Mysterious as well as terrifying

Master Xiao, since you've rescued me

You haven't said one word

Why is that?

Also...

What should I do to thank you

The reason I rescued you...

is because I will pass everything of mine to you

So I can't let you die

Regarding thanking me

That's not necessary

Because in my life

I have three missions, besides looking for you

The other one is to repay Zhumeng's kindness

Concerning the third mission;

I don't even know when I should carry it out

Because I'm waiting for the red smoke to come out

Red smoke?

That's right

When the red smoke appears, then it's time for me

To perform the last mission

By the way

The other day

Didn't you make a brotherly bond with Zhumeng?

I've heard that his Hall of the Braveheart...

is all destroyed by Zhuo Donglai

While he was away

It happened like this

Zhuo Donglai had bribed Caichong

One of the four favorite aides of Zhumeng

So when Zhumeng secretly stole into Changan

During which time he asked me to kill Yangjian

Caichong took this opportunity to team up with

The spy sent by Zhuo Donglai and launched attack

In one single night, they killed almost everyone

in the Hall of Braveheart

Greetings to you, Chief

He is Caichong, one of the four favorite aides

...Of Zhumeng

He is also a talented man of our time

Talented?

Chief

Talented doesn't always mean skillful in martial arts

It could refer to someone smart and worldly

Not only have I come to place myself at your service

But I've also changed my name following Master Zhuo

Now my name is Zhuoqing

Zhuoqing, tell the Chief about...

The present state of the Hall of Braveheart

The Hall of Braveheart is no more

The only regret is...

Zhumeng has escaped

So where is he now?

I've no idea!

Could it be the man in grey?

Master

You're here

Yes, Master

Did you bring the opium?

Of course

Good, very good

Gracie

Yes

What's the matter, dad?

Put the opium in a safe place

Yes, dad

I've heard the Sword of Tears has surfaced again

That's right

It's now with someone named Gao

So the secret they talked about is true

What secret?

Xiao Daishi is a father not only to Xiao Leixue

But also to an illegitimate son

When he gave the sword to my third fellow apprentice

He gave him also a purse

Could it be that, it contained...

The date of birth of Gao

It's destiny, really

What destiny?

Master, think about this

If both of them are sons of Xiao Daishi

Then they will both be under the curse of the sword

Zhumeng is now a useless man

And Sima Chaoqun is within my control

A 100 years inexorable fate of martial arts world...

would fulfill amongst the four of them

That's right

Master, when I become the ultimate winner

And get the seal

You'll get more opium

I'm no longer interested in...

what's happening out there

My only interest is in the opium

By the way, Master

Did you once mention that Xiao Daishi

Had given you a Death Warrant?

And with that Death Warrant...

It can order Xiao Leixue to kill anybody

That's right

Can I take a look at it?

Of course

This is the Death Warrant

Whoever's name I put in, will be killed

This is the red smoke needed to inform him

I see

I'll disturb you no more

I should get going

Please enjoy your opium

Good

Please

Zhuo Donglai

What's up?

Five years ago

You used opium to trick my dad to come here

You want him to help you in conquering the world

I think now it is about time

When will you let us go?

Don't you like it here?

You think it's good here?

My dad is heavily indulged in opium

He doesn't care about anything anymore

We are no different with being under house arrest

You are pretty smart

Okay!

I promise you

After I've attained success, I'll let you go

The first thing I need to do now...

is to get rid of Sima Chaoqun

Isn't that enough to ruin the Hall of Braveheart?

Why must I kill Zhumeng?

As the saying goes: cut the weeds and dig up the roots

Moreover, the man in grey has shown up again

If you don't inspect the site in Luoyang in person

I'm afraid trouble will spring up again

The horses are all ready

I am going

Didn't you go along with Master?

That's right

We went with him till the Red Flower Market

Go...go...

What are you doing in here?

Nothing, just because the Chief is away, and

The Union still needs to operate smoothly

So I'm here to get the seal and the arrow token

Who is here in such a broken house as this

I'm here to look for Zhumeng

Him again? You're too late

He's dead?

No, he won't die

Even though the cunning Sima Chaoqun used

all the dirty tricks trying to get rid of him

Yet our brave lion won't die that easily

Regretfully, our Nailed Shoe

Got killed by that cunning bastard

Who is Nailed Shoe?

Nailed Shoe?

He's the giant of our Hall of Braveheart

When our Master came back from Changan

He immediately fell into the trap...

set up by the traitor Caichong

Master was surrounded by almost a 100 fighters

Beside him is only the skinny and tiny Nailed Shoe

Still, Nailed Shoe used his life to protect Master

Not only was he hacked several times, but...

he even swallowed his nose that got chopped off

At last, he died in the battle!

But his sacrifice

Has aroused the spirit and loyalty of the others

When Master was saved

He hanged the only pair of nailed shoes he had...

at the place where he sacrificed

So that everybody knows that

The Hall of Braveheart has such a loyal fighter

Why should I force the death of Nailed Shoe?

Why would I drive Zhumeng away?

No

It's not me that wanted all these

It's Donglai, he planned everything

That's right. Where is Zhumeng now?

I've heard that Zhumeng brought with him

The last surviving ten fighters or so

And went to Changan

As what I've expected

The Hall of Braveheart wasn't so united at first

The blood of Nailed Shoe has united them again

Where are they now?

In the secret chamber of the brothel

Master, let's kill them

Let's kill all the way to their headquarter

Yes, all the way to their headquarter...

We can come in, but cannot go out

Why?

At first I thought Zhuo Donglai is a bumpkin

Now I know that I've made a gross mistake

If I'm right this time

The moment we came in

They have already surrounded us out there

So you guys are here at last

We are here

It's you?

That's right. I'm Zhuoqing, greetings to you, Master

Your last name is not Zhuo in the past

I've put my past behind me

Sometimes you should learn from me

When you try to recall what you shouldn't recall

At the wrong time is suffering indeed

Bastard

How come I trusted you in the past

Even though I'm not so loyal, but I'm worldly

So, in case the Hall of Braveheart

does defeat the Union one day;

Maybe I'll place myself at your service again

Bullshit...!

Master Zhu, you can kill me anytime you want

But before you kill me

You better understand why I came

What do you want?

This crook is here today to invite you

On behalf of our Master Zhuo

To have a drink at the headquarter

By that time...

You will see the one that you've been looking for

Graceful?

You're so impolite to your guest

What? You've killed Zhumeng

Now you want to kill me

First of all, I didn't kill Zhumeng

Secondly, I'm not here to kill you

On the contrary, I want to invite you and Zhumeng

To have dinner with me tomorrow night

By then...

You will see the one you've always wanted to see

So you are here!

Graceful

Graceful

Gracie

Gao, why are you here?

It's no wonder Zhuo Donglai said that...

over here, I'll meet with the person

That I most longed to see in my whole life

Oh, and why did you leave so suddenly that night?

Graceful, look around and see who else is here

Zhumeng, how come you are here?

Because he said if I come here, I'll see the one

That I've been looking for in my whole life

But you'd never have imagined that...

The woman in your life

ls also the woman of your brother!

I've never dreamt that

Zhuo Donglai, you're so treacherous

What? You've wronged your brother

And you put the blame on me?

Gao

Zhuo Donglai, you're so shrewd

You knew that Zhumeng loved to dance

So you tried every means to arrange our meeting

And asked me to dance with him three whole days

And then later on to leave him quietly

Let him look for me

Later, you made an excuse and said you wanted to

“check ii Gads sword is the Sword of Tears

And asked me to dress up as a beggar

Arranged our meeting in a starry night at lakeside

Everything that you did had a hidden agenda

And all that was meant for tonight

Correct

Heroes are likely to get caught by beauties

The old sayings must have some ancient wisdom

That's what life is all about

The most beautiful thing in our life...

Usually is the most ugly thing when turned around

Graceful, why did you do this?

Gao, you don't need to know the whole story

You only need to know that...

The other night at lakeside

I do love you

So we better not see each other again; If we're

destined to live apart, why fell in love together

Just leave here!

Whatever remains is between

Me and Zhuo Donglai

But if anything does happen

So, do it for my sake, just leave!

Zhuo Donglai, whatever I owe you

I believe it's all repaid now

Because I know, from now on...

I don't mean anything to you

But, I want to ask you something

Go ahead!

In order to reach one's goal, does he have to try...

every means to achieve it including devilish tricks

No

Not everyone can do that

Only the cleverest man can do that

Shit...!

You...

Thank you

I remember that we had...

Danced together for three whole days and nights

You had also remarked that...

You liked my legs

Yes, they are beautiful

Very elegant dancing steps

Miss Graceful, Master...

This is the leg that you liked; I'm giving it to you!

From now on I won't dance again

Miss Graceful, Miss Graceful...

Master, Mastermtake a look, Master...

Graceful, Graceful...

Master...

Graceful...

How can you let them go

Why don't you kill Zhumeng right away?

We don't need to kill Zhumeng. It makes no difference

With a dead man, when his heart is dead

Will he still strive for fame and power?

Then...what about Gao?

Gag?

I've already sent someone to kill him

The way you drink will easily kill you

If you really want to die

You don't have to do it yourself

Because someone wants you to die

Who? Zhuo Donglai?

No, it's me, Xiao Leixue

You didn't have to wait till now to kill me

Turn around and look

Did you see the red smoke rising at lakeside?

What happened?

This is Blood Fire, a smoke signal

Once it appeared, death is sure to come...

To a very important person

Why?

Because along with this Blood Fire

Comes the Death Warrant from my departed father

Whoever's name is on it...

I've to kill that person

And my name is on this Death Warrant

Correct

So, today I have to kill you

Have you seen clearly

This is the Sword of Tears that you've talked about

You said you will die under this sword

So, I don't know today who is killing who

That has to be left for fate to decide

Your wooden box is really amazing

Thank you

No wonder, my Master said that...

The most terrifying person is you

But, before you die

Can you tell me one thing

What?

When you left

Did your Master mention anything to you...

about the purse?

What purse'?

Aren't you aware of the relationship

...that you have with me?

What is our relationship?

My father is the maker of this Sword of Tears

He had two junior fellow apprentice colleagues

The first- Xiao Gongzi, a strange man but

Also is the most skillful one in martial arts

Lately nobody knows where he is

The second one is your Master

He is a kind man, cares not for worldly treasures

So my father not only gave him the Sword of Tears

But also told him the biggest secret of his life

The biggest secret of my father's life...

is that he has an illegitimate son

So, your Master is the only person to know

Who my brother is

And I've always thought that you are my brother

I surely can't be your brother

because my parents are still living in the village

Then... upon your departure

Did your Master ask you to bring any letter

Not really

But the night before my departure

My Master did ask someone

to take a letter to my uncle

Uncle?

Strange enough !

This Death Warrant is given to me by him

My name is written by Zhuo Donglai

Look

This is his note to me, asking me for a match

Zhuo Donglai?

Maybe he knows where uncle is

I found out that a lot of people

Are like the chess pieces in your hand

Manipulated by you

You're really a clever man

How did you manage to pass through...

my thirty six setups and enter here ?

Don't you forget that

I've killed Yangjian

In a totally concealed secret room

Twenty years ago

I've made a contract with someone

I think you knew that

Of course I knew that

I was the one to fill in the name

You're pretty honest

I only tell the truth

But, it would be difficult to lie to me

I've something else to ask you

Go ahead!

Where's the one that gave you the contract?

Come with me

Master

Someone is here to see you

Uncle

Uncle, you...uncle!

Master

Where is the purse?

What purse'?

The one my father left behind, with my brother's info

I don't know

You've killed your Master

How come you don't know where's the purse?

Who said I killed him

If it's not you...

who else can get close to him and kill him !

Given the superb skills that he has

Moreover, if you haven't killed him

How did you obtain the Death Warrant ?

Tell me quick

What's your secret motive in killing your Master?

Why should I tell you my secret?

Because your life is in my hand

Once I open this box

It'll be too late for you to regret

Then give it a try

This is the boldest thing I've ever heard

in my whole life

Master Zhuo, Master Zhuo...

Zhuoqing

Did you see clear enough?

He is the legendary man

with the terrifying wooden box

It was said that once he opens the box

Someone will die

But unfortunately, he can never open it again

Maybe you've heard me mention this

It takes the right moment to kill

Otherwise everything will not be the same again

He has picked a wrong moment to take action

Xiao Leixue

Have you ever heard of the "scent of gentleman"

Gentleman's friendship is as tasteless as water

Without color nor odor, this poison is severe

Just now I've put the poison

All over my Master's clothes

When you touched him

You've already been poisoned

I fought with you just to buy time

I kept you fighting until your hands turned black

Otherwise I won't be defeated by you

that quickly

5K0 P

I have a certain hobby

I like to watch a hero in his final days

He's poisoned, his four limbs are stiff

He can't use any strength now

Even if he takes the antidote

he'll lose all his martial arts skill in five years

Xiao Leixue

Actually a gentleman is not that trustworthy

A lot of times they are more treacherous

than the others

Xiao Leixue, Gao and Zhumeng belong to the past now

Now we wait only for our Master Sima

And so I'm here

Chief, you're back

Get the wine

It's okay

Please come in

I'm too tired for a drink

By the way, how's the weather in Luoyang?

Very good

Better than here

The blood that was spilled dried faster over there

Spilled blood has got to dry sooner or later

It makes no difference as of sooner, or later

The way of the world is all the same

Unfortunately for us mortals

Coming back a few days earlier or later

Makes all the difference in the world

Oh, is that so?

Zhuo Donglai, come with me all by yourself

We'll face death sooner or later

Just like what you said just now

The blood will get dry sooner or later

Still, there's a difference as of when you die

If I die earlier than my enemy

Then how can I kill him

You're right

Because killing needs the right timing

At a different moment...

Everything will not be the same again

So I said you're always right

Timing is really important

You've arranged for me to take on Yangjian

Attacked the Hall of Braveheart during the ceremony

Tricked me into going to Luoyang...

upon the appearance of man in grey

So you knew of all my plans!

Can I not be aware of them now?

I'm so surprised

How can I be caught unaware by my own aide!

This has been the truth of the 'shifting of power'

ever since ancient times

And you... are no exception

By the way...

How come you're so clear about everything now ?

Because I've thought about everything carefully

So as to decide what I should do

So what should you do now?

I've thought about it thoroughly

As you said, killing takes the right timing

If not...

Everything's changed, and nothing is right again

Sima Chaoqun, in the past you gained the upper hand

But not today

Why?

That again is the question of timing

Because today you're blinded by hatred

So although you have the best weapon

You can't win over my two swords here

You people

They are all talented people. Go!

Sima Chaoqun is still Sima Chaoqun

Haven't you always wanted to know...

What will happen if we have a one to one match?

That's right, especially today

Good! All of you listen

No one is allowed to interfere; whoever does so...

I'll kill him first

Please!

You...

Didn't you say they can't interfere?

Can my word be trusted?

To be honest, saying that is the only way

To keep you off guard from them

Come on...

Now you all see this

There's no such thing as 'unbeatable' in this world

The question is how

Hold on

He's not dead yet

There's not much difference anyway. He has failed

And thus he's no longer Sima Chaoqun

Like Zhumeng, they are both useless men now

Take h I m away!

Yes

Mister

It's raining so hard!

Please take a seat inside

No, I'm here to get some dry food

Come in, come in

Don't argue

Listen, the most skillful man in the world

Is it Sima Chaoqun?

Right!

I've heard that he's a smart and able man

Never failed in any match

You're all so correct

What's more, he's actually a relative of mine

There's one time when I saw him with my own eyes

Beating up fifty-eight men all by himself

A punch here, a kick there, and a slap

Three postures and he killed all of them !

Hey Shenlao, that's too exaggerated!

Believe it or not! He used only three postures

Otherwise how can he be The Unbeatable

Bullshit...

He's an idiot, a big idiot

How dare you insult Sima Chaoqun in front of me?

You know who is he to me?

He's my cousin's father's uncle's daughter's...

Cousin's uncle's friend

Insulting him means insulting me

Say quickly: Sima Chaoqun is a big hero

Sima Chaoqun is not a big hero

How do you know?

Because...I'm Sima Chaoqun

How dare you pretend to be him !

Master, forget it. Master, let him go!

He's just a drunkard

He didn't intend to offend you

Okay!

Next time if you get drunk again, at least...

Don't pretend to be my relative Sima Chaoqun again

Sure

Let's drink again, come on...

Thank you

Gentlemen, it's okay now...

Have a seat...

Have a seat...

It's okay

Chief, you...

Who are you?

I'm Ah Gen

The spy from the Union that was sent...

to The Hall of Braveheart

I recall now

It was said that later you really betrayed us

And turned to the Hall of Braveheart

Because later I found out that Zhumeng

is a good man too... so I can't bear to betray him

So you must know where he is now

I know. He's at the ruins of the Hans royal palace

Taking care of the dying Miss Graceful

Master, someone is here to see you

Who?

Sima Chaoqun

Let all the torches be lighted

Let everything that can be burned, burn

Yes

You're Sima Chaoqun

Do I look like I'm Sima Chaoqun?

You don't look like

The Unbeatable Sima Chaoqun

But I know you must be him

Why?

Because only he...

will come to see me at this time

I've always imagined that our first meeting...

will take place in Luoyang

You have your sword, and I'm on my horse!

But instead...

when both of us were completely defeated

You're still Sima Chaoqun, I'm still Zhumeng

Everyone in the Hall of Braveheart has vowed

To behead you before we will go back

I know. That's why I come today

I'm here to repay my debt

How can you repay it?

Still, I have to

Chief, Chief...

Nice saying

Brothers, he is Sima Chaoqun

The one who has destroyed our Hall of Braveheart

It's him

How many of our brothers were left unburied

How many of our sisters became widows

And our childs, for the sake of living

Have become beggars, prostitutes

It's all because of him

Come, you all have weapons in your hands

You can go up to him

And chop him up into pieces

Go, go to him, chop him up

What's the matter with you all? Why don't you move?

Don't tell me you forgot how to kill

Bull, you are such a hunk

You never hesitate in killing

How come...

You can't even hold your sword now

Master, I've always wanted to kill him

Even in my dream

However

Now...

Now what?

Now...

lfl killed him like this, even if I have my revenge

How can I face the other heroes

You...can you use just any sword to kill

Sword is for killing

Then you better kill me first

Because...even though

I owe the Hall of Braveheart a heavy blood debt

Even though I admire you as a hero

Even though I can't kill you

But I hate to say that I do have to fight with you

Good...very good

Be it that you can kill me

Or that I can kill you

I have no regret whatsoever

Why? Aren't we friends?

What happened?

Looks like you're drunk

It also seems you haven't slept for three days

You do get it right

Now you do look like Sima Chaoqun

Otherwise how can I kill Zhumeng

Master

Master...

Miss Graceful can't stand it any longer

Zhumeng, Zhumeng, where are you?

Where are you?...

I'm here, I'm here

I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid to go alone

The path to the netherworld is so long

Don't go. Stay with me, can you?

Sure, I'll stay with you. Don't be afraid

I'll be here with you

It's so strange

I feel like nothing strange has ever happened

There's no hatred, no grudges

Only a little bit of faint memory

If you have a chance of seeing Gao

Please say goodbye to him

...for me

Okay, Okay

Very good

Seems like the wind has stopped

A love unfulfilled, a path of no-return

A butterfly carries no burden

A butterfly carries no hatred

This is the invitation card from the Union

Inviting all of them to be here at the Moon Festival

To take part in your inauguration ceremony

Zhumeng of the Hall of Braveheart

The Unbeatable Sima Chaoqun

Xiao Leixue with his wooden box

And Gao are all things of the past

Heroes of the world

When there is no more enemy

It is indeed lonely

Master Gao, Master Gao

So Gao is not dead yet

He's waiting for you in the living room

Gao Jianfei is still alive?

You've been waiting here for long

It's okay, I can wait

Once I've waited for a camellia to bloom

Guess how long I've waited?

How long?

Three days

You waited for three days for it to bloom

And then to pluck it

No, I just wanted to look at it

But I didn't pluck it

It's like I've waited for you here

But not to kill you

I want to place myself at your service

Because the whole world

ls now under your control

I want fame and riches

Seems like this is the only way, how's that?

Good, from now on

All thirty-nine sections of men are yours to control

If anyone complains

I'll kill him first

Very good. And what's your condition?

The condition is, you have to kill Zhumeng

And Sima Chaoqun at once

Killing Sima may be easy for you, but not Zhumeng

Because I know, at the Red Flower Market

You and Zhumeng have vowed a brotherly bond

Plus the affairs with Graceful

Seems like you owe him a lot

As heartless as a sword, the world talks no loyalty

Where's Zhumeng?

Sima Chaoqun and Zhumeng are both up there

How do you know?

Ever since I let them go to the headquarter

I've deployed someone to spy on them

I guess you knew that Graceful has cut off her leg

I know

So Zhumeng brought her here to await death

Why here?

There's a legend about an Emperor who died here

And later on became a fairy in the heaven

So a lot of people want to die here

And they would throw the body into this fairy lake

You may be curious as of why I didn't kill...

Sima Chaoqun and Zhumeng

Now, I can tell you honestly

I'm leaving them to you

Why?

Because I want you to become

Another Unbeatable

Like Sima Chaoqun

To be the idol of everyone

Very smart

You're cleverer than Sima Chaoqun

Because you know, to be the top of the world

ls the most tragic thing on earth

Then why don't we go up now?

Life doesn't offer very many chances for pain

Graceful is dying

Let Zhumeng enjoy this last moment with her

Anyway, you said you can wait

Graceful... Graceful...!

Graceful is finally dead

It's about dawn

They will take her body down very soon

We should get ready

Graceful is dead, you're all relieved now

So as to make it convenient for you all...

I will send you all to heaven from here

What? You are here to kill us too?

He... is the new star of our Union

And they are the ruthless killers

Zhumeng, you know, loyalty and friendship

can all be bought by money

The sword is merciless, and heartless is the hero

What are you waiting for? Make your move

I'm waiting for my settlement

I owe Someone, Someone else OWeS me

Now is the time to settle

Gao

Now is your chance to build up a name in the Union

And Sima Chaoqun, Zhumeng

These two heroes are waiting for you

Big brother, Mr. Sima, I'm so sorry

But now is my turn to show off

So please stoop down a bit today

I thought I met a man in the Redwood Forest

So it's only a dog

A dog and a hero at his end are both pitiful

You beast

Dog is a beast, you can't compare a man with it

You're not dead yet, nor are you defeated

Gao Jianfei, so I'm right about you

Earlier I didn't really believe that you'll turn to me

So you've waited for three days

For the moment of getting the sword just now

Correct, because when Xiao Leixue tried to kill me

I found out that the Death Warrant is written by you

So the planning for this day has been done before

Zhuoqing, what do you mean?

This must be a stunning surprise to you

Didn't you mention a while back...

That loyalty, friendship

Zhuoqing is truly a bastard among all of your men

He released me right away upon receipt of money

So now...Zhuoqing has no choice but to kill you

Zhumeng and Sima are not the same men as before

You've lost all of your inner strength

Gads Tear-stain Sword is in my hand

As for Zhuoqing, he's not a human being

So that doesn't count

Don't you all forget that I hold a special sword

But you too shouldn't forget that

My box contains thirty-seven different weapons

One of them is designed to cope with your sword

Gao, didn't your Master ask you to deal...

With this serious crisis

So I'll leave to you the task of...

Killing Zhuo Donglai and coping with the sword

Zhuo Donglai

You can calculate everything

Except this weapon

What Xiao Leixue just whispered to me...

is this very secret

How's that? Now the sword is in my hand again

But why do you still need this sword...

Since now you know it's useless?

It's exactly because it's useless

So I'm going to throw it away

Not to be seen again

Now the weapon is in my hand

It's my turn to kill you

You could never have dreamed of this, right?

I didn't truly want to throw away

The Sword of Tears

But I knew Xiao Leixue

Will not easily let go of the sword

He will let you save it

So when your focus is shifted

I grasp the chance and got your weapon

There's no such thing as top weapon in this world

Only the top man

Because weapon is only a tool for him

Gao, now's the time

Got it

What is this all about?

You know everything of the world

Except the secret of this sword

The bottom part is detachable

I specially made this weapon just to fool you

The only way to defeat the cleverest man of the world

is to make use of his own self

This is called cleverness may overreach itself

Strange

How come the tear stain has disappeared !

Didn't you say that, only when...

Xiao Daishi's son is killed by this sword

Can the tear omen disappear

That's right, the tear stain is genuine

And you've just killed Xiao Daishi's son

One night, Master suddenly asked for me

He told me that

He received the purse sent by Gads Master

It had a note saying I was Xiao's illegitimate son

I didn't want Master to spread this secret out

So I killed him at night

And stole his Death Warrant

Thereby goes the story of you killing young Gao

What? So you are my brother, is it?

However, I've never regarded you as my brother

A conscience that lets you go alone

Heroes do not shed tears that lightly

To the farthest corners, go awash their footprints

Heroic tears are not easily shed

Rippling to the farthest corners, go their tracks
