TSUI SIU-KEUNG

Zhao Wuji, you shouldn't have come today.

Why's that?

You're getting married today. There's no need to die.

If I am to die, then there's no better day.

I don't want my fiancée to become my widow.

Throw your sword away.

Why didn't you kill me?

We had a duel here today,

because you wouldn't believe that my sword could beat you.

There is no feud between us.

Besides, I'm getting married today. I don't intend to kill anyone.

Farewell.

Congratulations on your son's wedding!

CHING MIAO Thank you very much.

My son, Wuji, is getting married today. Thank you for coming.

I sincerely hope that we can entertain you well.

NG HONG-SANG The Sichuan Tang Clan's master is here.

Shangguan Ren, did you send them the invite?

I did not.

CHIANG NAN You invited people from the martial world.

But why didn't the famous Sichuan Tang Clan receive an invitation?

The Tang Clan makes a lot of poisons and concealed weapons.

Forgive us for not seeking any connections with you.

But Master Tang Que sent a generous gift anyway.

There are 10,000 taels of gold here.

Master Tang Que wants to buy the head of Dafeng Hall's master with this gold.

If anyone can deliver Zhao Jian's head to the Tang Clan,

another 10,000 taels of gold will be waiting for him.

Wait!

Go back and tell Master Tang Que

that if my head ends up with the Tang Clan someday,

at least my eyes would see the Tang Clan destroyed!

- Xiaofeng, send these guests away. - Yes, sir.

This way.

- Don't tell Wuji what just happened. - Yes, sir.

Young Master is back!

- Young Master! - Did I make it in time?

Yes, sir. Hurry.

ls the bride ready? It's almost time.

HSIAO YAO The young lady is ready.

- Uncle Xiaofeng, where's my father? - Wuji!

- Wuji! - What's happened?

LILY Ll Father...

Father!

Who was that Master Zhao earlier?

- WONG CHING-HO - Master Shangguan...

TANG CLAN

Master Shangguan has arrived!

- Master Shangguan, please have a seat. - After you.

Master Tang Que, Master Shangguan is here.

Did you bring Zhao Jian's head?

KU FENG I wouldn't have come without it.

Good. Tell Tang Yu to come in.

Master Tang Yu!

DEREK YEE

- What is it, Tang Que? - We have Zhao Jian's head here.

- Go confirm it. - Yes, sir.

Your Triple Soul-Pursuing Sword is worthy of its reputation.

What's the meaning of this?

I must test your martial arts skills first to see if you're really Shangguan Ren.

Zhao Jian is already dead.

I'm not interested if it's his head, but if you really are Shangguan Ren.

Master Tang Que, the head is indeed Zhao Jian's.

And indeed, Shangguan Ren stands here before me.

"A fine fowl chooses a tree to perch on, a talented subject chooses a lord to serve."

Shangguan Ren, you shall enjoy glory and wealth here in the Tang Clan.

ZHAO RESIDENCE

WANG HSIEH

- Why are you here? - Come forward.

Dafeng Hall's 18 disciples wish to go with Wuji to avenge Master Zhao!

- Revenge! - Nonsense!

Dafeng Hall is the center of the martial arts world.

If you all go and the Sichuan Tang Clan takes advantage of this opportunity,

who will stay to protect Dafeng Hall?

If Dafeng Hall falls...

and the evil Tang Clan rules the martial arts world, what would we do?

Wuji, originally I didn't want you to go.

But the killing of one's father is absolutely irreconcilable.

I couldn't stop you from going even if I wanted to.

No matter how dangerous it may be, I shall find Shangguan Ren.

Your father once told me

that we have a spy named Xi Shi watching Tang Clan's Tang Que.

Xi Shi?

Even I don't know his real identity.

But he'll contact you when the time comes.

And there's another thing I must tell you.

Your father had a confidential document hidden in a jade tiger.

Shangguan Ren took that jade tiger, too.

That's why you must retrieve it from Shangguan Ren before you kill him.

A jade tiger?

A jade tiger.

Fengniang, no one knows if I'll succeed or fail.

If I don't return by next year...

...when the flower wilts, you must stop waiting for me.

Consider that I have failed you in this lifetime.

Even if the flower wilts, the flower remains.

I shall wait here for your return together with the wilted flower.

"Even if the flower wilts, the flower remains."

I promise.

Even if I die, I shall still return.

Not today, Dugu Sheng.

You're not the one man I want dead.

Zhao Wuji, you're mistaken.

Not all in the martial arts world seek fame and wealth.

I don't intend to fight today, nor am I carrying my swords.

Why are you here, then?

You have a long journey ahead of you.

We might not meet again.

That's why I prepared some wine today to see you off.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

How I wish that this was the blood of Shangguan Ren.

I came here today not only to bid you farewell,

but to tell you that, since you spared my life,

you may call on me if you need my help.

It's time to say farewell. Until we meet again.

CHAN SHEN

Hey, it's not yet dark. Why are you striking the gong?

I'm not striking the time-signaling gong, but the gut-wrenching gong!

The gut-wrenching gong?

Someone's heading towards their death. What other gong should I strike?

You're not blind.

Who says so? Look.

If I'm not blind, what am I?

The Tang Clan's thunder ball? How are you related to the Tang family?

Not just me, but us...

What we're striking now isn't the gut-wrenching gong...

...but the soul-ending gong!

I'm Liu Sangeng, the Killer Watchman.

Wherever the sound of the gong reaches, people die.

Zhao Wuji, you've been poisoned by our Seven-Night Cold Star.

You think you can escape from us?

- Who's that? - Some kid in red.

- Holding a red lantern and red umbrella. - Him?

FANNY LEUNG Hey, why do you want to kill him?

Let's go.

Who are you?

You're awake?

Master! Master! He's awake!

SHIH CHUNG-TIEN

- Where am I? - A non-human realm, the Feudless Market.

- Who are you, then? - We are nameless people.

Another one of the Tang Clan's tricks.

impetuous, aren't you?

The people here may be nameless and won't kill anyone,

but no one can kill them either.

Because they're all heroic martial arts experts.

They have moved beyond the conflicts, the fame and gain of the martial arts world,

and so they keep their identities hidden and live as normal people.

My disciple went out to relieve himself and unintentionally saved your life.

You are the legendary master of the Feudless Palace, Carriage Maverick?

That's right.

I forbid any killing, and I always sit in my carriage.

I had no idea. Let me pay my respects.

You are seriously wounded.

I was hit by a concealed weapon.

But the more serious wound is in your heart.

From your eyes, I can tell that your heart is full of hatred.

- You're right. - But hatred is the most serious illness.

- It's also the illness that kills the most. - Why?

The poison inside your body can kill only you.

But the hatred in your heart can kill a hundred or even a thousand people.

You won't understand what I am talking about.

Forget you heard it.

One day, when you're over the feuds and conflicts of the martial arts world,

come and find me.

I believe I may not have the opportunity to come again.

I heard I was poisoned with the Seven-Night Cold Star.

I will live for seven nights only.

Oh, I almost forgot. Tell the Living Dead to come in.

COFFIN OF THE LIVING DEAD

Living Dead, this young man was hit with the Tang Clan's concealed weapon.

HAO Ll-JEN Go to Lake Yanpo.

Find two people dressed in white, and tell them I sent you.

Lake Yanpo?

"Ten years forging swords and meeting noble visitors.

"How many years does one's youth last?"

SHIH SZU

"When one writes poems in old age, half of them convey sorrow and hatred."

YUEH HUA "Wandering the world,

"even if my hair turned white, I don't think I could become a duke."

- Well said, well said. - Not bad yourself, either.

Who are you?

- What are you doing here? - I... I'm a dying man.

But I can't die yet. I must avenge my father's death.

- Are we the ones who killed your father? - No.

You two will save me.

- And who says so? - The man... in the coffin.

Master?

The Seven-Night Cold Star.

Don't misunderstand. My brother isn't trying to hurt you.

The Seven-Night Cold Star is an unparalleled poison.

He hit you to expunge the poisoned blood in your organs. Look.

L.-

You... What were you doing?

I am sorry. I didn't know she was a woman.

It was unintentional. Never mind.

Please take this medicine and rest for a few clays, then you'll recover.

Forgive me, I haven't asked your names yet.

There's too much gratitude and resentment in the martial arts world.

All we do is use nature to express our lofty ambitions and sentiments.

We choose not to interfere in the conflicts of the martial arts world.

So, there's no need to repay us.

And we have no wish to know your name either.

I must go. I am indebted to you for saving my life.

Thank you.

DRIED GOODS AND SEAFOOD

SHUM LO Sir, what would you like to buy?

I want four taels of beef, ginseng, and sugar.

Please come in.

This way.

- Boss! Boss! - Why did you summon us so urgently?

- Master Tang Yu is here. - What? Master Tang Yu came personally?

Master Tang Yu!

Liu Sangeng... So, the three of you made it back alive.

Master Tang Yu, we almost killed Zhao Wuji,

but we encountered the disciple of Carriage Maverick, that killer Red Child.

- That's why... - Oh?

You're afraid of the Red Child, but not of the Tang Clan?

No!

But he's been poisoned by my Seven-Night Cold Star.

- I believe... - Silence!

Are you not aware that Zhao Wuji is traveling past here tomorrow?

- What? He's alive? - That's right, he's alive.

That's why the three of you must die.

Bring the wine!

Don't even think about running.

If I simply put the poison in the wine, I couldn't call myself Tang Yu.

I coated the poison on the outside of the wine cup.

You touched the wine cup, so you don't have long to live.

Tang Yu, do it. I violated the Tang Clan's rule.

- I won't blame you. - What?

Have you done something wrong? Why, I have no idea about that.

I can be very forgetful sometimes, I can forget some things almost immediately.

Listen. Zhao Wuji will pass by here tomorrow.

I want to kill him in the Lion Forest Tavern.

I was there only this morning.

There's only one entrance, but multiple exits.

However, at every exit,

we'll position our men, and they can pretend to be customers.

Once he enters the tavern,

we'll offer him a seat at the table in the middle.

Then, we'll set a trap for him at the table.

Master Zhao... we meet again.

Concealed weapons!

- Who are the men below? - My four friends.

WINE

LION FOREST

So, it's you?

I, Dugu Sheng, always find a way to pay back what I owe.

Who told you to come and rescue me?

It was...

It was him who told me about it.

Master Dugu! Master Dugu!

- Who are you? - I'm his cousin, Dugu Hong.

Tang Yu... why did you kill so many of your own men?

To gain Zhao Wuji's trust.

- Waiter! Waiter! - Coming!

We're in a hurry to leave. ls the congee ready?

- Yes, I'll bring it right away. - Hey...

- Are these the horses we rented? - Yes, they're yours.

- Sir, your food is here. - Place it there.

- ls the guest next door awake? - He got up earlier.

He told me he'd be back after shopping.

Please tell him to come and eat when he returns.

Very well. Enjoy your food.

When he returns, he might eat the rice first.

Or he might eat the meat first.

If he doesn't eat either...

...he'd probably drink some water.

If he's in a hurry and not even drinking water...

...he'll get on his horse.

If he gets on his horse, he'll die an even worse death.

What do you think?

Tang Yu doesn't attempt anything without the assurance of success.

- Hey, waiter! Waiter! - Coming, coming.

- I want to settle our bill. - Then, I'll buy a coffin.

Got what you needed? Have something to eat before you leave.

No. I don't have time to eat.

- Are we in such a hurry? - No, we're not leaving today.

Waiter! We don't need the horses anymore.

Why aren't we leaving?

Because tonight, the God of Fortune of Dafeng Hall

will hand me a list of important names.

What list is this?

A list of the names of our spies embedded in the Tang Clan.

It's still early. Let's eat first.

Hey! I just tasted that, it's not good. Let's have some soy milk outside.

By the way, I want you to do something for me today.

What is it?

The Old Book Town is the last leg from Dafeng Hall to the Tang Clan.

Our branch is in the Xiesheng Store.

There are two branch masters.

YANG CHI-CHING One is Fan Yunshan, an honest man.

He has been there for 30 years.

The other one is Ding Qi.

Al FEI A youth with great martial arts skills.

Been here for three years.

Lately, we discovered that one of them sold out Dafeng Hall,

because our information keeps leaking out from here.

In order to keep my presence here a secret from the Tang Clan

and to keep the God of Fortune's list from falling into their hands,

we must kill the spy before tonight.

- Do you know who it is? - No, only you can tell me who it is.

- Why me? - Because he won't recognize you.

You can pretend to be someone from Dafeng Hall headquarters,

and talk to them about the God of Fortune coming here tonight.

- Sir, what would you like? - I'm not here to shop.

Oh?

- Then, why are you here? - I am from Dafeng.

Chief, what is it?

God of Fortune will be in the Temple tonight.

You must leave once you've spoken with them.

Whichever one is the spy will go and leak the news.

We'll be on the rooftop across from them.

When he comes out, we'll kill him at once.

XIESHENG STORE

So, it's him.

GOD OF FORTUNE TEMPLE

Fanshan, it's already midnight, isn't it?

- Yes, sir. - Look there.

- Where are you from? - I'm from Dafeng.

- Do you have the list? - I do.

- But who are they? - They're our men.

One is the branch master here, Fan Yunshan.

The other is my savior.

You were wrong. I'm not your savior, but your killer.

- Who are you? - I'm Tang Yu.

Fan Yunshan, you...

Zhao Wuji, you killed the wrong man today.

As soon as I saw Master Tang Yu, I knew something was wrong.

That's why I asked Xiaoding to spread the news.

I didn't expect you to fall for it, though!

- So, you're a spy. - That's right.

He has been taking money from the Tang Clan for almost ten years.

What else do you want to know?

Nothing.

Then, you can oblige me by dying now.

I can't do that.

I still want to see your face when you see the list.

"Tang Yu, you're surrounded. Zhao Wuji."

GOD OF FORTUNE TEMPLE

- Who's he? - A dead man.

Quickly!

A sprung knife and a little blood...

- How do you know he's not a spy? - Didn't you say it yourself?

A real spy would recognize men from the Tang Clan.

Why would he be willing to show himself?

When did you know I was Tang Yu?

From the start.

Because if you were Dugu Hong, you would only kill Liu Sangeng.

There's only one reason to kill Qiao Wen: to silence him.

And while I was with you, there was far less trouble along the route.

Because you're Tang Yu, the Tang Clan didn't give me a hard time.

Then, why didn't you make a move earlier?

Because I wanted to use you to find the spy.

You're no fool, Zhao Wuji.

You're quite smart yourself, too.

But because you're too smart, you look down on others.

Tang Yu, where else can you go?

I can go wherever I want.

Indeed, men of the Tang Clan have incredible skills.

You flatter me.

- Well, do you have another sword? - Of course.

I knew you'd have another sword.

I never suspected your stick would contain...

Now, it's futile even if you did have another sword.

I may not have a sword, but I do have... a bomb!

The incredible Tang Yu...

Young Chief, you're going to pretend to be a friend of Tang Yu,

and carry his coffin to the Tang Clan?

What if they recognize you?

We've already captured Fan Yunshan and his affiliates.

I don't believe anyone in the Tang Clan would recognize me anymore.

I'm so exhausted.

TAIBAI INN & EATERY

- Hey, Master Tan. - Hey, Master Zhang, it's been a while.

Come have a drink.

- Sir, here's your drink. - How far are we from the Tang Clan?

It's about two days' travel. Are you visiting someone there, sir?

No. I'm taking my friend's coffin there.

Well, enjoy your food.

KU KUAN-CHUNG

Sir, please come inside. This way, please.

It's more quiet inside.

So unlucky!

LO LIEH Why am I so unlucky?

I saw a coffin in the middle of the road early this morning!

- Please have a seat. - So unlucky.

- What would you like? - I'm starving to death.

Prepare a chicken, some meat, and some sorghum wine.

- Hurry, I'm famished. - Alright.

- Be quick. - Coming right up.

- Who owns the coffin outside? - It's mine.

WANG HAN-CHEN

- I want this coffin. - Anything special about this coffin?

The coffin isn't special, but the man inside is.

This man, Tang Yu, killed 78 men of the Thunder Gang.

How do you know that Tang Yu is inside?

A textile merchant informed me.

What are you planning to do then? Take the coffin away?

- I'll kill you first! - Get him!

Stop!

Stop! We're trying to run a business here!

Kill him!

- Textile merchant, who are you really? - I... I'm just me.

I'm not a textile seller. I'm a scholar.

Don't believe me?

Allow me.

Who killed those men just now?

I did.

So unlucky, I saw a coffin and encountered a robber!

- Who are you? - I'm from the Tang Clan.

I came to escort you with Master Tang Yu's coffin.

Please wait here.

I heard you brought back Master Tang Yu's coffin.

Who are you, and why did you come here?

I was Tang Yu's friend. I came to bring his body back.

Where are the other young masters of the Tang Clan?

Hey, it's actually quite comfortable lying inside a coffin.

- You probably don't know who I am. - I don't.

My surname is Tang. My name is Tang Que.

Tang Que?

- As in Que meaning "wicked"? - Yes, that's exactly right!

Someone said that you were the most incredible of the Tang brothers.

Yes, that's exactly right as well!

Didn't you see how I killed those men with a handful of chopsticks?

- I did indeed. - Great!

Why didn't you ask me first how Tang Yu died and who killed him?

He's dead anyway.

It doesn't matter how he died.

The most important thing now is to know if you really were Tang Yu's friend.

If not his friend, then what am I?

If you weren't his friend, then you were his foe.

And the most feared among foes... is a spy.

- Then, when will you question me? - Right now!

Why did you strike my acupuncture points?

Because once I do that,

it's easier to kill you when I find out you're lying.

- Name? - Li Zhongtang.

Hometown?

Xitou Village, Wannan, 100 miles from here.

So far! Parents?

Li Yunzhou, mother's maiden name is Deng.

- Tang She. Check it out at once. - Yes, sir.

Master Shangguan has arrived!

Master Shangguan, what is it?

I heard Master Tang Yu had been killed. Who did it?

We don't know yet.

- Who is he? - Tang Yu's friend.

Why doesn't he turn his head towards us? Is he afraid I'll recognize him?

No.

I struck his acupuncture points, so he can't move.

By the way, I heard Zhao Wuji has already left Dafeng Hall.

- We must exercise caution. - Don't worry.

He may enter here, but I guarantee he won't leave.

- Very well, I'll go on ahead. - Please.

- Strike his acupuncture points. - Yes.

Until we verify your background, I can't trust you.

I won't kill you, though. You may stay in the guest room.

FROM XI SHI

"The report on Li Zhongtang's background will be revealed in three days,

"so move quickly in three days. Xi Shi."

- Halt! - Who is it? Halt!

- Hurry, he's there! - Stop him!

- He's there! After him. - Over there!

Halt!

- Where did he go? - There! Over there!

- Search over there! - Move it!

- Do you see him? - No!

- Find him! - Hurry, you two, go over there!

Thank you for saving me.

Don't make any moves.

So, it's you, Master Tang Que.

Next time, you should knock before coming in.

I wouldn't want to kill you by mistake.

I don't want to die today either.

I came here to bring about someone e|se's death.

Last night, a spy was here.

Who was it?

Zhao Wuji.

He's Zhao Wuji.

Though the Tang Clan's town is big,

we always notice when a new face comes to stay.

Only two people arrived yesterday.

One is you. The other is him.

So, if you're not the spy...

...that leaves only him.

Remember what I said.

I'd rather kill someone by mistake, than let him get away.

Didn't you say that you'd kill for 10,000 silver taels?

Here are 10,000 silver taels. Kill him for me.

I, Zhao Wuji, am not that easily killed.

But since I've fallen into your hands, I'll do it myself...

The sword may be broken, but you may not die.

Why is that?

Because you're more useful alive.

Besides, you're not the real Zhao Wuji.

- Tang She. - Yes?

- Tell him who he actually is. - Yes.

You are Ding Qi, 28 years old,

the branch master of Dafeng Hall in Old Book Town.

You arrived here last night and stayed at the Fulai Inn.

As for your motive, that's unclear.

Actually, your motive is very simple.

The real Zhao Wuji is here.

In order to cover for him, he claims to be Zhao Wuji!

But I don't care if he's the real Zhao Wuji or not.

What I want to know is if you're from Dafeng Hall.

So, I'll leave him for you to kill.

Get on with it.

Don't even think about killing me. You can't kill me.

Otherwise, I'll say your real name out loud!

Who is he?

He is...

- He is... - Tell me!

He's... He's Zhao Wuji!

- Why did you sell me out? - Xi Shi told me to do it.

What?

- Go! - I can't.

Young Chief, take care.

Stop!

I've only realized who you really are at this very moment.

- Who am I? - You're not the real Zhao Wuji.

You fool. You think you can trick me?

You're a famous hero from Dafeng Hall.

Why would you betray the real Zhao Wuji?

Your cover is blown now, so you need someone else to die for you.

I don't know who he is.

But because you say that he's Zhao Wuji, then he's not the real Zhao Wuji.

- Take him away. - Yes.

If he hadn't been so foolish, you might've been the one who died.

Who exactly are you?

Li Zhongtang from Xitou Village, 100 miles from here.

Master, the messenger pigeon is back with information on Li Zhongtang.

- Show me. - Yes.

If I open this note, and that person doesn't exist in Xitou Village...

...you will die here right now.

Look.

SUCH A MAN EXISTS IN XITOU. BACKGROUND TRUE

Now, I believe you're Tang Yu's friend.

But it's very strange. Why haven't I seen you before?

Tang Que... I've seen him before.

- So, Tang A0, Tang 'we, you We back. -Yes, Tang Que.

Tang A0? Tang Yue?

You know him?

We met once at Lake Yanpo.

You never imagined I would be from the Tang Clan, right?

To be honest, you don't look the part.

Actually, Tang Ac and I don't like Tang Que's character,

so we always travel and rarely return home.

I see.

- ls your name really Li Zhongtang? - You don't believe me?

No.

I don't believe you're Tang Yu's friend.

Why not?

Because I knew what Tang Yu was like.

He was selfish and ruthless.

He would never have a friend like you.

Can you be honest with me about something?

About what?

Did you come here to avenge your father?

Did someone in the Tang Clan kill your father?

- No. - Swear on it.

I swear.

But I always remember that my savior is from the Tang Clan.

I can breathe a sigh of relief now.

I'm really afraid that there may be a deep feud between us.

Do you believe in fate?

Since our encounter at Lake Yanpo...

...| knew that we'd meet again someday.

Who is that?

Dafeng Hall's traitor, Shangguan Ren.

Stop!

I've been waiting for you to come for me these past few days.

How did you know I was here?

I knew the day you brought the coffin back.

- Then, why didn't you kill me earlier? - Because I want you to come for me.

Don't forget... You cut off my father's head.

It's precisely because of that that you can't kill me.

I even saved your life last night in the garden.

So, it was you?

And that messenger pigeon...

If I hadn't secretly made the switch...

...Li Zhongtang wouldn't exist in Yangliu Village.

Even though you saved my life, killing one's father is irreconcilable.

I shall still kill you today.

Before you do that, I think you've forgotten something.

And what is that?

The jade tiger.

- What's the meaning of this? - Remember Dafeng Hall's secret order?

My father wrote that document himself.

The most closely-guarded secret of Dafeng Hall.

It's inside the jade tiger.

Take a look.

"Master Shangguan was ordered to infiltrate the Tang Clan.

"|t's a secret and vital mission.

"Protect him at all costs.

"No harm must come to him. You must heed his commands.

"From Father, Zhao Jian."

A secret mission?

Over the past decade,

the Tang Clan has been making poisons and concealed weapons,

bringing harm to the martial arts world.

As the head of the martial arts world, Dafeng Hall has a huge responsibility.

Your father thought of a way for me to infiltrate the Tang Clan

and investigate their poison-making industry.

We shall attack from inside and out, and eliminate them all.

To earn the Tang Clan's absolute trust...

...he sacrificed himself...

...and cut off his own head.

The affairs of the martial arts world are terrifying indeed.

You could be right today... but wrong tomorrow.

This morning, you were still my father's killer.

Now, I must protect you instead.

Wuji, don't concern yourself too much.

You have a lot of things to accomplish.

Now, just as I did, you must first earn the Tang Clan's trust.

- Can I really earn their trust? - Of course.

Because you can ask to marry Tang Yue.

What? Master Wuji is marrying a daughter of the Tang Clan?

Yes. Our spy inside the Tang Clan sent news of it.

- Miss Fengniang! - Miss Fengniang, where are you going?

- I'm going to find Wuji. - Miss Fengniang...

To plan our revenge, Master Sikong is out coordinating with each group.

I think you should wait for him to come back.

- No, I'm leaving now. - Miss Fengniang, who will go with you?

I will! I will go with you.

TAIBAI INN

Please come inside. Please come in, sir.

- You're back? - Yes.

I asked around. The Tang Clan are just beyond the bridge.

We must be careful from now on.

Miss, your food is here.

- Who ordered it? - Eh? Didn't you order it?

- I didn't. - That's strange.

Who told the kitchen you were hungry and wanted food?

Hey, Qianqian.

Do you think your brother really is...?

There must be something fishy going on. My brother isn't that kind of person.

" Hurry! - Help!

Somebody help!

What happened?

It happened after they ate something.

The food!

These dishes were originally for you. The owner said it was a waste, so we...

The Tang Clan's gut-wrenching needle! Did you eat the fish?

I... I just ate... a little...

Qianqian!

- This food was originally for us. - That means they know we're here.

- Let's leave at once. - Stop!

WANG LUNG-WEI

Qianqian!

Miss Wu Qianqian, remember me?

I brought a gift the day your brother got married.

Tang She?

That's right, my name is very easy to remember.

I wonder who you're looking for in the Tang Clan.

Master Tang Que has long suspected that Zhao Wuji may not really be dead.

If I'm not mistaken,

you're both here to find Zhao Wuji.

- You... - Qianqian!

You struck her acupuncture points?

She's a fine woman.

Even finer in bed, eh?

- Where is Zhao Wuji? - I know!

FAN MEI-SHENG I know where Zhao Wuji is.

Zhao Zhong?

- You're from the Zhao family? - Yes.

I grew up in the Zhao family, I'm their loyal servant.

Why sell out the Zhao family, then?

Didn't you say earlier that this woman would be great in bed?

Zhao Zhong, you...

Before, she was the young mistress, and I was the servant.

But now...

Now, you're exchanging Zhao Wuji for her.

People do despicable things for a woman.

- Where is Zhao Wuji? - With the Tang Clan.

Why should I believe you?

What should I do to make you believe me?

It'll take two clays to travel from here to the Tang Clan.

And this poison will only take effect after three days.

If you're lying, you won't live after taking this.

Come on!

- Four! - Six!

Come on, drink.

Don't try moving. They've already struck your acupuncture points.

Stay still and let me do what I want.

Help me! Help me!

You haven't paid up yet, so why are you taking the goods?

Well, she'll be mine sooner or later.

Why are you being so serious about it?

Alright, consider this as my apology to you.

Come on. Let me make a toast to you.

- Cheers! Cheers! - Cheers!

Why aren't you drinking?

You drank this wine earlier. Are you afraid it's poisoned?

I drank it earlier, too.

The cup isn't to your liking? Have mine, here.

Use my cup. This is a toast to you.

That's more like it.

- Miss Qianqian... - You weren't expecting that!

While molesting me, you unintentionally pressed my acupuncture points.

What are you doing?

I'll kill this ungrateful bastard, even if I die!

Qianqian, you're wrong. He came to save us.

He intentionally pressed your acupuncture points earlier.

Stop.

When I lured you away earlier, Miss Fengniang poisoned the wine.

But you also drank the wine.

I told you already. I'm the Zhao family's loyal servant.

Zhao Zhong!

Zhao Zhong!

My father asked me to bring you back to devise a plan to find Master Wuji.

Who knew that when I came here, they'd outnumber us?

We surely can't defeat them.

That's why I pretended to offend you earlier.

- Please forgive me. - Zhao Zhong!

- Zhao Zhong! - No! Zhao Zhong!

Miss Fengniang, you're a good person.

When you see Master Wuji, tell him that I am dead...

...and that he must not fail you and Dafeng Hall.

Otherwise, I will haunt him as a ghost!

- Zhao Zhong! - Zhao Zhong!

- Zhao Zhong! - Zhao Zhong!

Bride and groom, bow to heaven and earth!

Who are they?

Wuji.

Who are you?

- I am Zhao Wuji's sister from Dafeng Hall. - Oh? Why are you here?

Miss Tang Yue is getting married today. I want to meet her groom.

What for?

Because I was told that the groom is Zhao Wuji from Dafeng Hall.

ls Zhao Wuji the one you seek?

Yes. The disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous Zhao Wuji!

Fengniang, go see your husband.

When I first heard that you were remarrying...

...| refused to believe it.

But now...

Miss, I think you must be lovesick.

I've never seen you before. And I don't have a wife.

If you're smart, you'll leave at once.

Otherwise, you'll die with no grave!

What... What did you say?

I told you, I've never seen you before.

And I don't have a wife.

- What are you doing? - I'm going to kill Dafeng Hall's traitor!

Who says I'm a traitor?

If you haven't defected to the Tangs to feed your greed for wealth,

why are you in wedding attire and refusing to acknowledge your wife and sister?

Stop! I'm rather confused now.

Is he Zhao Wuji?

- Or are you Li Zhongtang? - Of course I'm Li Zhongtang.

They must have been paid to ruin my wedding to Miss Tang.

Guards!

- Kick them all out! - Wait!

Why kick them out?

As you're not Zhao Wuji, why don't you just kill them?

Wouldn't that be better?

It's an auspicious occasion today. Why kill anyone?

It's easy to resolve this matter.

I know you, and I'm sure you know me, too.

Of course! You're the two-faced beast who beheaded my father, Shangguan Ren!

You'd better behave.

I want to ask you something.

If he really is Zhao Wuji, why would he infiltrate the Tang Clan?

To kill you and avenge our father!

That's easy.

If he kills me, then he's Zhao Wuji.

If he doesn't, then he's Li Zhongtang.

I am not Zhao Wuji. Why would I kill you?

Everything's clear now.

Indeed, you are Li Zhongtang.

But I heard you say before,

if someone offered you 10,000 silver taels, you would kill a person.

I'm now giving you 10,000 silver taels to kill Zhao Wuji's wife.

Master Wuji! Master Wuji! You can't do that.

You can't kill Miss Fengniang.

Zhong said before he died

that if you abandoned Miss Fengniang, he would haunt you as a ghost.

Master Wuji, come home.

Master Sikong is finding allies everywhere.

- We will soon avenge Master Zhao! - Silence!

Your old servant is spouting nonsense!

I don't know what you're talking about. Get out! Get out at once!

Master Wuji! I've served Master Zhao all my life.

I watched you grow up. You would never betray Dafeng Hall.

Get out!

Everything in life is temporary and unpredictable.

I don't care about the affairs of Dafeng Hall.

Today is Tang Yue's wedding. I don't want any killing here.

You'd better leave.

Wait one moment!

There's still one thing left undone.

Kill her for 10,000 silver taels.

Zhao Wuji...

Perhaps I shouldn't have come here today.

My presence here may affect your prosperity

in playing up to these powerful people.

However, I have no regrets.

Because I can see clearly how immoral and despicable you are now!

Don't come near me!

I am going to die. Without doubt, I am going to die.

However...

...| want to die under the sword of a son-in-law of the Tang Clan.

I want him to owe me!

Fengniang.

MEMORIAL TABLET OF LOVING WIFE WEI FENGNIANG

RIGHTEOUS BROTHER ZHAO ZHONG

MEMORIAL TABLET OF LOYAL SERVANT ZHAO QING

I am told that this river flows back to Dafeng Hall.

May you return home.

When I accomplish my mission,

I shall pay my respects and thank your loyal souls.

RIGHTEOUS BROTHER ZHAO ZHONG & LOVING WIFE WEI FENGNIANG

I didn't fail you.

In this life, our fate has ended. Let us look forward to the next life.

"A lonely grave far away won't allow me to tell my sorrows."

"The graveyard with small pine trees,

"shining under the bright moon, is what brings me sorrow each year."

My favorite lines from Su Dongpo's Lyrics to the Melody of a River Town.

Who are you making offerings for?

Your wife? Your friend?

You think you know everything.

Anyone would react if his wife or friend were to die in front of him.

You're still human after all, I can tell.

The resentment between the Dafeng Hall and Tang Clan has lasted over 100 years.

Many have lost their lives.

People died today. And maybe others will also die tomorrow.

I refrained from killing you today because Tang Yue is fond of you.

And too much blood has been spilt today.

Zhao Wuji, return to your home.

While your sword is unstained with the Tang family's blood

and while my sword still remains sheathed, go home.

I don't know if you're able to kill me, but I really don't want to kill you.

You avenge yesterday's feud today, and avenge today's feud tomorrow.

What will you do for tomorrow's feud?

Zhao Wuji.

There are two kinds of men in the Tang family.

One is a fool.

He thinks if he doesn't kill, others won't kill him.

That's Tang A0.

The other kind is me.

I don't care if others want to kill me or not, I'll kill them first!

Zhao Wuji, where will you escape to now?

You know as well?

When you killed your wife, I knew then.

Are you feeling a little dizzy?

How did you know?

The Tang family is famous for its poisons.

Before you entered, I smeared poison on your bronze staff.

Once you touch it,

the poison will travel from your palm through your whole body.

And then... you will die very quickly.

Tang Yue, you truly are a member of our family.

You're ruthless and vicious!

Earlier, I thought you'd be reluctant to do it.

Why would I be reluctant?

Today, one of us will die.

And women hate...

...being lied to by men!

Zhao Wuji, you never imagined being killed by a woman, did you?

Tang Yue...

On the outside, you appear so gentle.

But you're the most ruthless of them all.

You've learned your lesson, then.

Only the gentlest person can do the most ruthless things.

Because no one guards against them.

Tang Que, what about Shangguan Ren?

Oh, right, I should kill him at once. Clear away his corpse.

- Let's go. - Yes!

Wasn't I dead already?

I used the Soul-Breaking Incense from my master lying in the coffin.

It makes you unconscious and stops your breathing.

You'll be fine after taking the antidote.

So, you didn't intend to kill me.

If I'd intended to kill you, I would have clone so in the main hall.

Zhao Wuji... you must leave now.

Tang Yue, do you know why I came here?

Of course I do.

You used Shangguan Ren as a spy to help eliminate the Tang Clan.

But let me tell you something.

The two of you won't be able to deal with Tang Que...

let alone the Tang family and the proud wanderer, Tang A0.

Zhao Wuji...

Before our love becomes stained with blood...

...you owe me affection.

When your sword is stained with the Tang family's blood,

then you owe me hatred.

Feuds and hatred in the martial arts world are usually paid for in blood.

When that time comes...

...you probably won't know what to do.

Forget all this.

I know you didn't intentionally lie to me.

However, I hope you remember this moment forever once you leave.

You failed someone once.

Uncle Shangguan, why are you here?

Xi Shi sent someone to inform me

that Tang Que has discovered our secret and is preparing to kill us.

That's why he stole Tang Que's token,

and told us to destroy the poison-making device at once.

What about Uncle Sikong and the other Dafeng Hall members?

They're at my home, lying in ambush for Tang Que.

Who are you?

I'm Sikong Xiaofeng from Dafeng Hall.

Why are you here?

I've captured the golden tiger,

now I'm preparing the bait to capture the golden turtle.

Is it done?

- Yes, sir. - Let's move!

- Master Shangguan. - These are Master Tang Que's orders.

- It's a matter of urgency that I enter. - Yes.

- Open the door. - Yes, sir.

No!

It's fine now.

Gloves!

Who is it?

It's urgent. I must gain entry.

Help!

Wuji!

Throw the net!

Kill them!

Tang Que, you fell for their trick to lure you away.

The Tang Clan is filled with men from Dafeng Hall.

Get them!

- Have you destroyed all the poisons? - Yes.

Right, to the main hall. Come on!

- Go to the main hall and help them. - Let's go.

Let's go this way!

I should've known Tang Yue wouldn't act like a member of our clan.

Why would she poison you?

Enough talking. Today is doomsday for the Tang Clan!

It seems there's only the three of us left.

Very soon, I shall be the only one remaining.

Careful, he has another sword!

You two, don't move!

I told you you'd die by my sword sooner or later.

Give me the sword.

You...

Have you heard of Xi Shi?

- Why, are you Xi Shi? - That's right.

I'm Dafeng Hall's spy.

But you grew up in the Tang Clan.

You murdered my father when I was a child.

- Hurry! - Kill her!

- Come on, kill her! - Stop!

- You can't kill her. - Why not?

Because she saved my life.

Wuji, as the ancients say, "Pull out evil by its roots."

- We must eliminate the entire Tang Clan! - But...

Tang Yue!

Don't come near me!

I told you, without the Tang Clan's blood, you just owed me affection.

Now, you owe me hatred!

- Have you lost your mind? - You're mistaken.

People of the martial arts world have lost their minds.

You always vie for power and eliminate any dissidents.

Today, they seek to eliminate us. I'm not the one who wants to kill!

Uncle Shangguan!

Uncle Shangguan!

Tang Yue, the Tang Clan is done for. Run and save yourself.

You say the Tang Clan is done for...

...but where do you want me to go?

Forget all this.

It doesn't matter how many people I kill today.

But, Zhao Wuji...

...you owe me too much.

You can repay me...

...in the next life!

Tang Yue! Tang Yue!

Master Shangguan, Master Sikong is in the main hall.

Let's go!

I regret saving your life at Lake Yanpo.

I also regret not asking your name at the time.

I don't kill people who are unarmed.

I only kill those who lack any conscience!

Tang A0, why must you kill me?

Because my surname is Tang and your surname is Zhao.

And one of us must die today.

Tang Ao, didn't you say that there's been too much bloodshed today?

- Why are you forcing me to fight? - I think it's strange, too.

Once, I saved your life, yet now, I strive to kill you.

But I'm not doing it willingly.

Don't you think that we're both rather pitiful?

We're like pawns at the mercy of those in the martial arts world.

Zhao Wuji, make your move.

- Uncle Shangguan! - Shangguan Ren...

His sword skills are unparalleled.

If I hadn't ambushed him from behind, we'd never be able to defeat him.

Uncle Shangguan, why must we kill them all?

It's for the sake of the martial arts world.

In the martial arts world, the rule is: kill or be killed.

All my life, I've detested all rules!

Tang Ag!

The Triple Soul-Pursuing Sword is incredible.

Tang A0! Tang A0!

As I told you, we're both mere pawns of the martial arts world...

...at the mercy of others.

Tang Ag!

Tang A0...

Wuji, who are these two memorial tablets for?

One is for my wife.

The other is for my savior.

It's a shame they're both called Tang.

That's why their names can't be placed in Dafeng Hall.

Hey, Wuji.

Seeing that Zhao Jian sacrificed himself,

and that you made a huge contribution to destroying the Tang Clan,

the elders want you to be the new head of the martial arts world alliance.

Dafeng Hall has emerged victorious.

Victorious?

Uncle Sikong...

Did Dafeng Hall lose more lives this time?

Or did more men die...

...in the Tang Clan?

I don't want any position.

Everyone I love is dead.

Almost all my friends are dead, too.

If there are any future feuds in the martial arts world...

...| have no one left to sacrifice.
