There's a kind of man in this world.

They've got righteousness and pride in their veins.

They fear no death.

Their virtue is unparalleled.

Only a man like that can be a hero.

Can you really find a hero like that in this world?

Who was he?

He was your father.

Hu Yidao.

[Hu Yidao, The Hero of Liaodong]

There was something your father used to say.

"Hu is my last name.

I swear to kill everyone who does evil things

with a stab."

That was why he was given the name Hu Yidao.
(Yidao means one stab in Chinese)

13 years ago, your parents brought you back

to your hometown to pay respect to your ancestors.

Their enemies soon found out about your return.

All their enemies gathered at Batong Inn.

[Batong Inn]

Hero Hu was a great martial artist.

He was able to fight against the other 100 martial artists

and roughed up all his enemies.

They were no match for him.

That was when he ran into his most powerful rival.

The invincible Golden-face Buddha.

[Golden-face Buddha, Miao Renfeng]
Miao Renfeng.

I am Miao Renfeng.

I'm here to ask for your guidance.

I am Tian Guinong.

- I was...
- You're the invincible Golden-face Buddha.

[Leader of Tianlong Sect, Tian Guinong]
You're already the best in the world.

You don't need my help.

I'm not the best in the world

before I get to compete with you.

They were both the best martial artists in the martial arts world.

They were going to have the most important match in their lives

at the small inn.

Your kid's wailing

must have distracted you.

You should probably take care of your kid first.

We can always have a match on some other day.

Your father thought

Miao Renfeng was an upright person.

[The Adoptive Father of Hu Fei, Ping Si]
Therefore, after you recovered from your sickness,

they decided to have a martial arts contest at Cang Mountain

to find out who was better between the two.

The fight lasted for five days and five nights

and they couldn't decide on a winner.

They were both outstanding martial artists.

After a dayslong fight,

they managed to memorize each other's skills and techniques.

On the last day of the fight,

they swapped their weapons before they continued with the match.

Your father picked up the Miao's sword techniques,

and he taught his opponent the Hu's saber techniques in return.

Who won the contest?

Your parents died at Cang Mountain.

It was Miao Renfeng who killed my parents.

[Episode 1]

[Shang Fort]

You need to be fast and steady.

You need to avenge your father's death,

so you have to work harder to perfect your martial arts skills.

[The Old Madam of the Shang Fort, Old Madam Shang]
Again.

[The Tablet of Late Husband, Shang Jianming]

Jianming,

it's time to take revenge.

[The Tablet of Late Husband, Shang Jianming]

Hu Yidao. Large Spine (dazhui)!

Miao Renfeng. Crooked Pond (quchi)!

[Miao Renfeng]

Who's there?

[The Young Master of the Shang Fort, Shang Baozhen]

Smart boy. You were really agile just now.

I've seen all these tricks

when I played hide and seek as a kid.

As a kid? Have you grown up now?

[The Young Hu Fei]
Of course, I have. I'm 13 this year.

I consider myself a seasoned martial artist.

[The Daughter of Ma Xingkong from Feima Escort Agency]
Fine. A seasoned martial artist.

[Ma Chunhua]
Let's see how well can you do.

[Escort Agency]

[The Leader of Feima Escort Agency, Ma Xingkong]

Do it now.

First Master is not here yet.

What's wrong with that?

How can we let this perfect chance slip by?

We can't do anything before First Master is here.

Ma Xingkong is a skillful martial artist, too.

I've sent out the pigeon post,

but I don't know if First Master has received it yet.

How long have you been here?

Why are you acting so secretive?

Look at who's talking.

Why do you bother fighting with him?

You might not even be able to win against me.

Little rascal, I'll beat you up.

You're an adult. You shouldn't bully a kid.

[The Eldest Senior of Feima Escort Agency, Xu Zheng]
I won't show you mercy if you keep doing this.

We don't know who the bully is yet.

Little rascal!

I'm only giving you a courtesy reminder.

Do you think Master will let you go

if he finds out that you taught him these?

I dare you to rat me out.

I...

Fei, come here.

Quick.

Fourth Uncle.

Let's go.

Dad, do we really have to depart in the rain?

Silly girl.

We'll need to compensate them once the escorting period ends.

And we have already taken two days off. It's still raining.

Even if someone's keeping an eye on our escort carriage,

they won't be watching us in the rain.

If we leave now, we will be able to catch them off guard.

Pack your things now.

You'll keep an eye on them, and I'll buy us some time.

How many times do I have to tell you this?

Don't expose our family's techniques.

I was just fooling around with Chunhua.

You can't do that either. It might cost you your life.

You're too young to know the cruelty of the martial arts world.

Have you forgotten about this? This is what Escort Ma fears the most.

He blinded the guy who tried to steal techniques the last time.

It doesn't make sense to me to steal techniques from Chunhua

- now that she's offering to teach me.
- Don't you get it yet?

I...

Fourth Uncle. Sorry, it's my fault.

Please don't get mad at me.

One day, you'll understand where Fourth Uncle is coming from.

Fourth Uncle...

Young Lady. Sorry.

Let me clean it for you.

What are you doing, pervert?

Stop now or I'll chop off your hands.

How could you hit me? You swore at me, too.

Me? A pervert?

Guys, come and take a look. Look at this young lady.

Not only did she hit me, but she also swore at me.

I didn't mean to do that.

You're the only one who knows whether you meant it or not.

I never argue with women, and I was just being kind to you.

However I look at it, he didn't seem to have done it deliberately.

Precisely.

Are you trying to bully him?

Let's go.

Ping Fei.

What are you doing?

I only left you alone for a while,

and you got yourself into trouble again.

When you're away from home,

you shouldn't act contemptuously.

You were lucky you ran into a kind man like me.

Do you have anything you want to say to me?

It was just a misunderstanding. It was just a misunderstanding.

When you're kind to others,

others will be kind to you, too.

She's too young to know anything, so please forgive her.

Go away.

- Protect the escort carriage.
- Protect the escort carriage.

Protect the escort carriage. Quick!

My name is Yan Ji.

Hero, you must be Ma Xingkong,

the Invincible Fist.

I'm flattered, but I don't deserve the compliment.

It's been a few days since we last ate.

Can Hero Ma give us some food?

Master, thanks for the compliments.

- Xu Zheng, give him 5,000 taels.
- Yes.

5,000 taels?

Do you take me for a beggar?

There are so many escort carriages here.

They're worth 300,000 taels at least.

I'll take half,

and leave you the flag of your escort agency.

That won't make either of us look bad.

I can't stop you if you want to put your life at stake.

Half?

This looks more like an act of revenge than a robbery.

Are there really so many people holding grudges against me?

I wonder where your mountain fortress is located.

It's none of your business.

Are you trying to write a book out of it?

- Brothers. Bring the horses.
- Yes!

- Bring the horses.
- Yes!

Master, they're a gang.

You keep an eye on them. I'll take care of this.

If that's the case,

you shouldn't trouble your apprentices.

You'll do what you're good at and escort the carriages,

while I'll do what I'm good at and rob you.

We'll each carry out our own jobs.

Here. It's just the two of us now.

Both of you. Go to the side.

Be careful, Master.

Please enlighten me.

Watch and learn.

You can only learn from a real fight where the participants put their lives at stake.

Yan Ji's punches seem odd.

I can't tell which sect he's from.

However, it seems like he's only practicing three techniques.

Three techniques aren't a lot, but it's more than enough if they work well.

Look at the three techniques he uses,

and look at how many fist techniques Ma Xingkong was forced to use.

From Check Fist, Ground Fist,

Tiger and Crane Fists, and 18 Tan Family's Kick.

- Dad!
- Master!

- Master!
- Dad!

What's the matter?

You need to pay your ancestor's karmic debt.

You have to put your life at stake

if you wish to eat.

Brothers, pull out the flag of the escort agency.

Yes!

- Master.
- Protect the escort carriage no matter what.

Yes!

What are you doing? Stop being nosy.

Fourth Uncle, I'm not being nosy.

Didn't you see it?

They came prepared.

Even Escort Ma was no match for them.

You will only get yourself killed if you go.

Never let them pull out the flag.

Yes, Dad.

Ping Fei.

Chunhua, are you all right?

Wake up!

Who is this brat?

One should always stand up to injustice.

Great.

Let me help put you to your death.

Ping Fei!

Take him down.

Mom, who's that?

He is Miao Renfeng.

Kill him!

Young man, are you all right?

- Are you all right?
- I'm fine.

Let's go.

Are you a bandit now?

Hero Miao, I...

I swear I didn't know it was you.

Where is the kid?

Kid?

What kid?

Hero Hu's kid.

I swear to God.

I have no idea where the kid went.

I was only there to check on him.

I prescribed him some medications, too.

That was the only thing I did.

From where did you learn the Hu Fist?

I... I saved that kid.

Master Hu was grateful for what I did, and taught me three techniques,

so that I can use them for self-defense.

You saw it yourself.

I only know the three techniques.

I swear to God I am telling the truth.

You should never use the Hu Fist again,

because it's not your place to use it.

I'll kill you if you ever use it again.

Leave.

Hero Miao, please stay.

If it weren't for Hero Miao,

Feima Escort Agency would've suffered a great loss.

And no one would dare spend a night at my place again.

You saved two families.

Please come with me to the living room. Let me serve you some hot tea as a token of gratitude.

It's fine. I've got to go.

Hero Miao, you're an unparalleled martial artist,

but you need to think about your horse, too.

What if your horse gets injured and loses life during the journey?

It'll definitely hinder your progress.

If you don't mind, you can take one of the Shang Fort's horses.

Don't worry, Hero Miao. I'm not giving you my horse for free.

I'm lending it to you.

Thank you.

Hero Miao, this is the fastest horse in the Shang Fort.

Miao Renfeng.

Close the door.

What's the matter?

Have a seat.

- Do you know who the guy was who saved you just now?
- Who?

- He's Miao Renfeng.
- He's Hero Miao?

I didn't know Hero Miao was such a great martial artist.

When I grow up, I want to be a great hero like him too.

Little rascal!

He's not a hero.

Fourth Uncle, but he saved the escort agency and Chunhua.

He even injured Yan Ji.

How could he be a bad guy?

They're equally wicked.

None of them are good.

It was Miao Renfeng who killed your dad.

What?

- Is it really him?
- Yes, it is.

Back then, Miao Renfeng colluded with Yan Ji and his guys.

They poisoned the weapons and killed your parents.

This is bad. Something big has happened.

Miao Renfeng killed Hero Hu and Madam Hu.

He's going to eliminate us all.

We... We need to go now.

That's impossible.

Why not?

He poisoned the saber, and killed Hero Hu while he was distracted.

Madam Hu didn't manage to escape death either.

Stop standing there. Let's go.

Let's go before it's too late! Pack your things now.

- Pack your things now.
- All right.

[Fist and Saber Manual]

I need to get the saber manual and surrender it to Miao Renfeng.

Only then can I be spared.

Let go. Let go or I'll kill you!

Give me the saber manual.

I won't give it to you no matter what the cost.

Then, you shall die.

Over the past 10 years, I've been keeping you incognito.

I gave you a new name, Ping Fei,

and wouldn't allow you to show your martial arts skills before others.

I only did that because I hope that one day

you'll be able to retrieve the Hu family's saber manual and practice it well,

so that you can take your revenge.

[Live With No Shame]

- Old Madam Shang, I've told my fellow to send the silver on their way.
- Here.

I'll meet up with them after I recover from my injury.

Hero Ma, you're injured.

I've told my men to prepare a room,

so that you can recuperate here.

I've been practicing martial arts my entire life,

- and I lost to a nameless bandit.
- Here's medicine.

I'm too ashamed to call myself an escort again.

But this is not entirely a bad idea. After this,

I'll return home for my retirement.

I have been feeling extremely disturbed by what happened at the fort.

No. This has nothing to do with Madam.

I'll compensate you with silver.

I won't let Madam spend unnecessarily.

Please don't do that.

My son will be more than happy

if Hero Ma can hang around for a few days.

My son is very interested in martial arts.

It would be our honor if Hero Ma

can teach him a thing or two.

I'm just an amateur martial artist. Madam, you're flattering me.

You are too modest.

Zhen'er! Come here.

Come and meet Hero Ma.

Hero Ma, I am Shang Baozhen.

Nice to meet you.

Master, when shall we depart?

I can't bear to turn Madam down.

- Let's stay here for a few days.
- Sure.

Here. Meet Old Madam and Young Master.

- Old Madam. Young Master.
-Old Madam. Young Master.

Master, let me help you to the room to get some rest.

Sure.

Madam, I'll get going.

This way, please.

Mother, let me send you to your room to get some rest.

Who is this?

Does Yichen, the King of Poison, live here?

Who are you?

Miao Renfeng.

Please tell him that I was here.

It was the invincible Golden-faced Buddha, Miao Renfeng.

Master is helping martial sister with her recuperation.

He is not seeing anyone now.

That's right.

- Brother Miao.
- Brother Hu.

I've hired a physician.

Boil this with water.

I have always been at odds with the Qing court.

I was wanted by the government for the past few years.

Yet, they couldn't find where I was hiding.

Eventually, they killed my brother and his wife.

Shang Jianming.

He's a martial artist,

yet he always abuses his power.

I must kill him.

I beheaded Shang Jianming...

with Miao's sword techniques.

Then, you can consider your revenge taken.

[Shang Fort]

This way, please.

[Shang Fort]
Hero Ma, thank you so much.

Shall we proceed with the lesson only after you have recovered?

I always make sure I repay the kindness I received.

Thanks for keeping me at the fort and taking care of me.

Of course, I have to do my best to show my gratitude.

As the saying goes, there's no day without a single line.

I can wait, but I don't want it to affect

the future of the younger generation.

My son is rather slow.

Please take good care of him, Hero Ma.

What's wrong?

Again.

It seems like your son will be a good apprentice

for a famous sect.

We're flattered, Hero Ma.

He knows nothing about martial arts.

The technique he just used

is probably evolved from a Bagua Sect's palm technique.

It's quite impossible for him to achieve this without proper guidance.

He was just copying what others did.

I see.

Mother, are you looking for me?

Did you accidentally show off our family's technique?

Did you forget what I told you?

That's impossible.

Bear in mind. He's the King of Invincible Fist.

He is well-versed with all fist techniques in the world.

He might not be as good a martial artist as those from famous sects,

but he never misses anything he sees.

I only showed a little of the Bagua Palm.

Yet, he noticed it.

He knew what it was.

What do we do now?

It's fine.

There are things we should come clean about sooner or later.

I suppose you agree with what I said, right?

Yes, Mother.

We should make friends, not enemies.

We should leave whatever happened between us and the Ma Family in the past.

- We don't have to...
- Fine. How could you say that?

Have you forgotten how your dad died?

Of course, I haven't.

Get on your knees.

I made a mistake.

After all, the Ma Family is our enemy.

I must take revenge against them.

Did you?

It's my fault.

I was being a terrible son.

Dad, look.

[Miao Renfeng]

[Hu Yidao]

Oh, no. We fell into their trap.

Pack your things now. We'll leave right away.

What is that?

It's a long story.

Let's go now.

The Tablet of Late Husband, Shang Jianming]

Mother, the letter is here.

What about the things I told you to prepare?

Yes, they are prepared.

God will always bless hardworking people.

This day has finally come.

Mother, it's just the two of us.

Do you think we can work this out?

Don't worry.

I told you to send the letters because I was asking for help.

I feel much more assured now that I've received this reply.

Kneel down before your father.

Thank God.

I managed to keep Ma Xingkong around.

Miao Renfeng will be here really soon, too.
