Dynasty, the Qing took over China.

The Ming General, Cheng Shen Kung, fled

to Taiwan, where he carried on the

battle. mustering an army to lead

against the Qing. In

retaliation, the Qing sent out troops to

capture him. Led or alive?

Method. You may get

it. Everything's ready as you are. The

army is ready to move out tomorrow. Good.

Very good. If we are able to

beat Cheng Cheng Kong this time, I will

most relieve and you'll be

suitably rewarded. Thank you, Lord.

My Lord, the generals are all outside.

They're waiting for their orders. Since

we're ready, let's go.

We've assembled a great army, Commander.

I don't think Ching Ching Kung will be

able to match you. All right.

And all right. I'm confident this time

you will return in triumph. That's

right. Yes, my Lord.

You were born here. You know the

coastline well. What do you think?Is an

army of 100,000 strong good enough?

Do you think that I'll beat it?

No. Are

you saying that Chang Chang Kong's got

more men?No. Chang has just had a hard

battle with the Dutch. He's had no time

to reinforce his army yet.

Then why do you say that I can't defeat

him?Because it's not a question of

troops. The people are on Cheng's side.

You'll be going into hostile country. How

dare you?Right then. I

haven't finished yet. Very well. Go on.

Lord Tom. Surely you know his men won't

fight even if the Marshall dies before

the battle. What's that?Lock him up.

The marshal died before battle commenced.

We have no choice. You are going to have

to assume the command.

I order you to take over and

attack, but I will be defeated.

HmmNow the marshal is dead and

his murderer has got away. The soldiers

will have no heart for fighting.

Is that so?If you want my

opinion, we should capture the murderer

first. That will give the troops the

confidence to win. Hmm

All right. Give my permission to

take over command.

I don't need soldiers, sir. To get the

killer, I only need the services of one

man. Who?

Captain of the guard, Ka Yi Ki.

The cream piss

The

somersault.

The long sweep.

You have to be the best fighter we've had

in a long time. No

one's ever on top of long in this life.

HuhSince your Kung Fu is so powerful,

is there anyone who could beat you?There

is Sun Sen in the north and the man

called Ching Kuei in the South. Though

they're young, they're both expert. And

the man who assassinated the Field

Marshal was Shun Ching Kuei.

He is a very dangerous man. The Field

Marshal was surrounded by bodyguards,

but still they couldn't stop him. He's

getting ready to go to Taiwan to join

Chang. Are

all the company chiefs for a meeting,

Sir. Are you OK?Yes, Sir.

Go go straight away. See that all the

roads are blockaded and the men on

maximum alert. Zhong Jingwei mustn't

escape.

I have summoned you to me to

keep you informed of the progress we

are making into solving the murder of the

Marshall. Lord Tow is in charge. Chou

Kulab is an excellent choice. He's

just the man for the job. You came

to see me last time. If

I had listened to you then

about uncovering the traitors in the

army, Lord Tao would not have been

murdered. There's no need for you to

blame yourself. But if Cheng sent someone

to assassinate the Marshall, why don't we

pay him back the compliment?Well,

what do you think?

hmm Can you handle the job?I would like

to try. Hmm

You're to carry this pendant with you.

I wish you all success.

Lord Ty's dead and his killer's still at

large. But every coastal vessel has

now been confined to port by imperial

order, and from

information we also

know that Tsung has reached for

Pien and already attempted

to get a sea passage to Taiwan.

If Tsung does get away from us this time,

we can never hold up our heads again,

and we'll be lucky if we're allowed to

remain in service.

His imperial majesty has

put me in charge. As the first step, you

will all change your clothes. You will

travel to Fokien disguised as

civilians. If any of you come

across Shung, kill him

immediately. Don't hesitate.

So you have brought us the head of Lord

Tar. Yes, Sir.

My friend. You are a brave man. Penetrate

an army and kill its commander, then find

your way back here. That needs a

considerable degree of... Your mission's

a success. As soon as General Chen knows,

you'll surely be promoted.

I don't care about a reward. I am

Chinese. Just so long as

I'm able to fight for the cause of my

country, then I'm a happy man. It

is the duty of all of us. Nothing should

stand in its way. Even if they send a

whole army against me, I won't be

deterred. I'm ready to give my life for

my country.

Umm My job was to kill Lord Tar. What

happened to me didn't matter, but I

survived. Since all ships are

confined to part and Qing soldiers are

everywhere, my situation's desperate.

I'm going to need your help if I'm to get

back to Taiwan safely. What the

head of Lord Tar?General Cheng must

receive it soon. We'll try our

best. You're right, it is dangerous.

You're no longer safe here. I'll arrange

for a sea passage to Taiwan for you.

I've also heard the Ching have sent Lord

Toku Lam out after you. He's already near

here. He's given all his ought to be

killed on sight. So Toku

Lam's come?Since Toku Lam's the best

fighter that the Chings have got.

Killing him will do our cause good.

My friend, Toko Lam is brilliant at

gongfu, and he's not stupid either. I

wanna have a try. Be careful.

It's my duty for my country.

Huh

Hey, get up now. Get up. Is that all you

do?Stuff yourself by day and sleep at

night?HuhNow get up and do some work.

Come on. You just can't sleep. What would

the master say?Don't you feel any shame

at all?Come on, get up. Oh, what

do you mean?Haven't I got a ride to my

food and sleep?Can't you leave him out

alone?Or he's asleep.

My friend, you can't take it easy.

Everybody's got to do some work around

here. Aren't you ashamed?Hey, you'd

better be more polite. Everybody here is

a friend of Mr. One. Just like them. I'm

a guest here. Are you really?Well, all of

the other guests here happen to be famous

Kung Fu fighters. They are each expert in

their own particular field. What aboutyou?

I'm a magician. Magician. I can

make a horse come out of thinner. If you

can, you're a miserable little worm.

Okay, let's see, shall we?

Huh

All that nice.

This guy's been staying in your house,

enjoying your hospitality, and now he

beat me.

I am sorry. I didn't know someone so

important was staying here. If they've

been rude to you, I'll apologize on their

behalf. Master Wayne, please think

nothing of it. I'm not staying here as

your guest. This man's the one you mean.

Lucky he wasn't recognized by Lord Tar,

or else he would be dead.

Nonetheless, allow me to apologize for

their rudeness. Oh, I am still

figuring. How to make him into a horse?

If I can't do it, I'll be a miserable

worm. Master Worm, surely you should

know that no matter who a

man is, no one should be allowed to call

another person a

miserable worm. I mean, it's just not

nice. It's so rude.

That

ain't good. See you later.

General Shung, that man's a Qing, a

secret agent. His Kung Fu is equal

of mine. General Shung,

if he really is a Qing secret agent, then

it could be dangerous for you.

If I could penetrate their army and kill

their field Marshall, why should I be

afraid of a spy?But what

about you?You're the one who should take

care. You've so many of your people here.

They are all my friends. I can trustthem.

I am confident they won't let me down.

Mister, have you come to stay the night

or to gamble?Oh, do you really have

a gambling saloon here?

Father, I've won again. Oh, you are

lucky.

She's a lucky girl. Well,

let's open

the gambling.

All right, I'm going to try the big

number. I'd

like to have a go. My money

here. How come

it's so hot in here?

Mr. Have you forgotten to place your bed?

2 fives.

Banquet.

I won again.

All right, that's all for today.

Oh, see, you're just as well. You know, I

was.

Yes.

Hey, did you see those dice?

No, no, no, I didn't. Did you

see the dice?That's right. No, no, I

didn't see that. You're

quite right. She's a beautiful woman,

don't you think?Yeah, really big. Yes, I

know. Maybe we can see her later

after that.

HuhThe guys were loaded.

Come on. We're

going to

get away with that.

Lady, where do you think you're going?

You wouldn't try to skip out with that

money. You wouldn't do that.

Yes, mister?What can I do for you?

I'm not asking for much.

Just that you split it fairly.

70 for me, 30 for you.

Well, mister, I really appreciate

that money's hard to come by,

all right?

What do you suggest that we do?

Not bad at all.

Very good. A fighting lady. Don't I get

any other favors?

Shung Chin Quay has arrived and right now

he's staying at Wan's house.

ohh ohh

Do you know where Shengchengwei has gone?

You better tell me. I

don't know.

Mr. Shone, my parents died while I was a

child. I had to work to stay alive.

I tried singing, but it wasn't enough.

I've never asked anybody to give me any

help. I've had to learn to survive

by stealing, lying and cheating.

Anything at all that will give me a

living in this world.

Mr. Shone, you shouldn't blame that man

for trying to steal from me. I just

cheated some old fools at the casino. All

he wanted was kind of the proceeds. You

mean you know who he is?I don't know,

but he sure seems to handle himself well.

Perhaps he's a well-known fighter. I

think he's no ordinary guy,

Mr. Shaw. I don't live very far from

here. If it's all right with you, I'd

like you to stay. You could teach me Kung

Fu. Then no one could try to get the

better of me.

Kiki, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay.

I've got some urgent business. Well, I

only hope your business doesn't take too

long. I hope to see you soon.

You.

Shin Chin Quay, you're under arrest.

You're coming with me for a little talk

to Lord Turn. Don't try to escape. You

for a fact. Hot day. I treated

you like my own brother. Nobody's your

brother anymore. Get him.

Here!

Mr. Shong, I've been wrong. Please

forgive me.

Hey look!

What do you think you're doing attacking

my officers?You are taking a

grave risk.

If a man can take on the best prized

fighter in the Ching army, he must be a

very brilliant fighter indeed.

Do you think one day I might be a great

fighter?There is no need for

you to be so modest, Sun Sen,

but I don't understand.

Everybody says that Sun Sen has always

wanted to challenge the fighter from the

north. I never thought you'd let him go.

I never like fighting a man when he's

down.

Virtue, hero. But rather

foolhardy, 'cause now I'm gonna make you

pay.

Cut back.

Sun Sen, so we meet again. What

a pleasant coincidence. Young fellow,

you're not bad. Your kung fu is good,

and you're pretty smart. We need to have

people like you on our side.

Such kind words from Lord Tou to a humble

man is praise indeed. I must say I'm

flattered. Most of the fighting Jims in

the north have joined the Qing, but

you're the only one from the north with

such powerful kung fu. How would you like

to work for me?I got used to wandering.

Don't like being tied down. All right.

All right then. I can't force you. I

realize it's up to you. However...

I know you want Shung Chin Kuei.

Actually, I'm after him too. Good. Then

you and I have a deal.

I have a message.

It's from His Majesty. I've

sent a secret agent on a

special mission. She's a woman.

She's wearing a special pendant.

Inside it is my imperial seal. Whatever

she should ask for, you're to give it.

Long live, long live, long live the king.

Jamelin, you must be tired

after your long journey. My lord, there's

one thing His Majesty mentioned. I don't

quite understand. What's that?Tell

Tokulam to take good care of

me. And then His Majesty

made a sign. I don't

understand what it's saying. Do you know

what His Majesty means?I have some

idea. It's my guess. It's

something to do with payment. For my

service is rendered. You're right, eh

'Cause I'm desperate for the payment.

Your Majesty doesn't want anyone else

except me to know what

I'm out of guess before. KK is really a

spy. What are you doing here?

I think you know where someone is. Who's

that?Chung Chung Kuei. I don't

know.

Some people saw you carrying a wounded

man back here. That is why I've come

here.

Wait. You can search if you want

to, but don't get in my way. Let her go.

I said let her go.

You've recovered very quickly. I should

have guessed. I needn't to worry about

you. What do you want?Well,

now I've something to tell you. Well,

tell me. But I don't want to tell you

right now. Well, now you've come here.

You might as well tell me.

OK, if you want. But I think

you're being foolish. What did you

say?I said I think you're a fool.

Didn't you hear me the first time?Who the

hell are you?If you don't come clean with

what it is you want me to know, I'm not

going to let you go from here.

I don't care. If you want a fight, it's

all right by me. We'll see who's better.

I know now who you are. You must be

Sunset. Hmm

I will meet you in three days' time at

Chinling Valley. It's a

deal.

Brother Shung, this guy's good at Kung

Fu. He's always giving us trouble. Are

you sure he won't try to trick you?I'll

be careful.

You have arranged this meeting so you

could trap me. I've never had the time to

show you that I'm honest. I will settle

this with only one of you as you're both

on the same side.

Zhong Ching Kui, you have

shown such great daring in killing our

Field Marshal. We know that you're a

brave man. If you

agree to work for the Ching, I think

everything can be arranged. Talk to them.

That's enough talk. There'll be no deal

between us. You don't think you can

defeat me, do you?I'll

beat you down in less than 30 strokes.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Hot!

Hot!

Hot! Hot!

Zhong Jingwei, you are a very stubborn

man. You should consider your situation.

What use is it to be so loyal to the men?

You'll die in the end. Now let's see how

brave a man you really are.

Give a close eye on him. I'll have your

head if he escapes. Sir,

you want me to release Shung Jin Kuei?

I've been ordered by the Kung to conduct

a special mission. You've already

received his orders.

If it's on His Majesty's orders, I'll

release him immediately, and if

necessary, I will see that he has a safe

escort.

Yes,

man. You're lucky this time.

I realize that you've come a long way,

but I'm afraid you're too late. That's

right. Otherwise, if you escorted Chung

Chung Quay, the reward would be yours.

I think that the Lord has some kind of

plan. This business so far seems

deceptively simple. Here, cause last

time, when Chung Ching Kuei met Sun Sen

at Chinling Valley, if we'd wanted to,

we'd have captured Chung quite easily,

you know. Mr. Sun Sen has turned up here

as well. That guy's always giving us

trouble. I know that he's good at kung fu

because he's fought against the Ching.

Oh, well, don't you think we should kill

him, huhRight, we're going to have to

kill him.

Chung Chin Chin Chin. You too keep a

close eye on Chung Chin Gwei to make sure

he doesn't get harmed on his way from

here. See ya!

Ai yi ki. How about those instructions

that I gave you?My lord, from

what we have heard, Kai Kei is the

daughter of a Japanese, but she grew up

in China. She has made her living

on her wits. Somebody else said she's

closely related to their royal family.

But what she is doing here, nobody knows.

Yeah.

Hey, Zoom. Yeah.

Why are you up so early?Go back to sleep.

I can't sleep. In case when I wake up,

you're gone. Come on, let's go back.

Brother Shung, I know that Lord Toh is

trying everything to locate you. I'm

afraid if he catches us that we won't

escape alive. Well, if he doesn't find

me, I'll go looking for him.

You must be patient or you'll be in grave

danger. Our country's struggling to

survive. You're one of our best fighters.

Our country needs you urgently to help

drive out the Qing enemy forever.

Toku Lam is the best fighter in China. If

I manage to defeat him, it will be a

great blow for freedom.

Well, what happens if you should get

killed?It'll be a great lust to freedom.

You mustn't do anything rash. I don't

care if I die in the attempt.

What about me?

All right, a ship will be arranged soon.

And I'll take you with me.

It's from His Majesty. I've

sent a secret agent on a

special mission. She's a woman.

She's wearing a special pendant.

Inside it is my imperial seal. Whatever

she should ask for, you're to give it.

Right.

Hey.

Why are you always following me?

Easy now.

Don't be so concerned. Nobody's here.

You're a stupid fool.

No one asked you to come, so why have you

come here?What do you want?May you

leave here immediately?

You're trying to protect him. I think

you want to marry him.

You're right. I want him to live.

We're leaving as soon as there's a ship.

You're the stupid fool, my dear. Don't

you know what danger you're in?What do

you say?Aren't you on a mission?You

should say it's completed first.

So then, what's got into you?

No use pretending. It's all over now.

You're the only one close enough to

Shung. Nobody else can carry out

His Majesty's orders.

But he never told me to do it.

Are you sure about that?Then why don't

you show me what's written inside the box?

All right, so you've caught my bluff. So

what is it you want?Oh, I think I know

what it is.

What do I want?

Don't you like me?

What do you think?

Smells good. Good taste too.

You are fierce.

We are born and we die, but who knows

what will happen in between?

I have left for Tainam Mountain to fight

with Toku lamb. If I

survive, I've decided to

leave and return to the capital.

I hope in future you and I will have the

chance to meet again for a fight.

But I found out K.K. is working for the

Ching. She was on a special mission.

The Ching were planning to send her to

Taiwan to kill General

Chang. I

decided to kill KK first.

I hope that you'll leave here and go to

Taiwan soon, and I'm sure that you'll do

all you can to fight for China.

I will be expecting news of your success.

Hold it there.

You're passing through my territory. That

makes you a trespasser. You know what

happens to them. Now

you stand there.

Don't do something stupid. I needn't talk

to you at all, but I'm asking you to

listen to me. Come with me.

Where are you?The

captain of the Royal Guard. Ay yi ki.

A chain meant die.

Yeah!

Sunset, how did you get this pendant?

I took it from off a dead body.

And where is it?Feeding the dogs?

Sunset, listen to me.

It's no time to make jokes. You'd better

tell me what's been going on and don't

try to get away.

Tokulam, you're a bit too high and

mighty. You might have fooled Chung with

that plan of yours, but you could never

have fooled me.

You and KK were in cahoots. You've gone

too far. You deliberately let Chung

escape so that KK could help

him and thus gain his friendship. And he

would take her with him to Taiwan to kill

General Chang. But finally, your luck has

now run out.

Good, goodYeah, clever. But

not clever enough, because now you will

die. I can't hear because you

don't scare me. A brave man.

And if I should fail to kill you and you

escape, then I vow to retire from

fighting. Hey.
