I never thought that Mighty Chin would come here.

Damn it! How did you know I was here?

Except for you, 'Hercules' Mighty Chin,

who else could possibly bring this pair of stone lions weighing 800 catties here?

Fei Fei, the Magic Hand Thief, is never empty-handed.

Now that he's been to Chang Pai-Wan's house,

the night pearl handed down through Chang's ancestors

may not bear the surname Chang now, right?

Since Mighty Chin has come here,

I think this night pearl should now be named Chin.

It can't be named Chin yet.

What? Are you trying to steal from me?

I wouldn't dare.

I heard that Hercules has a disposition to gambling.

I want to gamble with Mighty Chin.

Use my head to bet for that night pearl.

Good. What's the bet?

The bet is whether I can move this pair of stone lions back to the front gate.

You?

Although your head is useless to me,

the tiny size of you…

If you can really move the pair of stone lions back to the original place,

not only will the night pearl become yours,

my head as well!

All right! As you say.

Lion, lion, see how arrogant your gestures are.

How come you can't even guard the door?

Letting thieves go in casually.

Would you say you deserve to be beaten up or not?

Yes or no?!

I just said I'd move the stone lion back,

I didn't say how it would be moved.

Will you insist that I move them back one by one

before you're willing to give in?

No need! When I meet an iron-handed stone monkey,

I should have admitted defeat before even making a bet with you.

So… should this night pearl be surnamed Shih?

Yes, yes, of course it should!

Damn! I was tricked by you!

If any of you can catch up with me, I'll give up.

The Shadow Whip?

Who should this night pearl belong to now?

It's yours.

You don't want it?

We don't want it.

Then I'll have to accept it.

If the three of you aren't convinced,

I'll wait for you with the shadow whip anytime.

How did we happen to come across him?

Because we've been so unlucky all year round.

It's him.

Last time, our convoy was robbed.

If it weren't for Hero Mei's help,

we brothers would have been bankrupt and killed.

All those in Mighty Escort are forever grateful to this hero.

We won't forget this hero's benevolence. These are our humble offerings.

Let's go.

We know we did something wrong.

We don't need Hero Mei to take action, nor do we dare ask you to take action.

Very good, you finally arrived on time.

I also brought the ransom.

What did you bring today? Can it redeem another year of your life?

Please have a look.

This must be Chang Pai-Wan's night pearl.

You have really good eyesight.

If it weren't a priceless treasure, I dare not present it to you.

- Have you killed anyone this year? - No.

Have you committed misdeeds?

No.

Then I will let you live one more year.

Thank you, Hero Mei.

I'll pay in full for my misdeeds and become a good person.

If you're being deceptive, I'll not spare your life.

The friend behind the tree, please show yourself.

Is this the priceless night pearl?

Can I have a look at it?

It's no problem to look at it, take your time.

You won't dare kill me. Kill me and you'll break the promise.

You also won't be able to avoid being killed.

I know I can't kill you, but you ruined my ransom.

- I want you to pay! - Of course I'll have to pay.

Can you afford such a precious jewel?

I don't have this kind of night pearl.

But I brought some beads; the worst one is better than yours.

I won't be paying you.

Of course not, it's him you have to pay.

As long as Hero Mei utters a word,

I'll immediately offer these beads with both hands.

You'd never give them to me for no reason. What do you want?

I want to see what's covered in this iron cauldron.

You really want to see?

I really do, to broaden my horizons.

With this skill, a straw can also kill people.

The ability to kill people is not a skill; the ability not to kill is.

- This is the famous Killer Meteor? - Correct.

The legendary Hero Mei's killer meteor is feared in the martial world.

Amazing power, incredible.

Have you ever heard of anyone who has seen his formidable power?

I haven't.

Not only have others never seen it, I've only seen it twice myself.

Used once, someone gets killed. Except for you.

Two people who have seen the true power of the killer meteor are already dead.

Did you know

that someone who shouldn't die is about to die at your hands?

Who?

- Me. - You?

If I cannot invite you to Meteor Mansion before the 15th day of the seventh month,

I will die.

Although it isn't you who'll have killed me,

I shall die because of you.

- Who wants to kill you? - Another meteor in the martial world.

'Immortal Meteor' Hua Wu-Ping.

Hua Wu-Ping?

Who else but him?

I've wanted to see this man for a long time. I'll go with you.

I won't! I'd rather live to see a ghost and never see this person!

Hero Mei, excuse me!

Having the ability to scare Shadow Whip like that,

Hua Wu-Ping really is fearsome in the martial world.

Hero Mei, if you please.

Don't you think eating here is fun?

Is this always how you've lived your whole life?

What's wrong with the way I live?

I eat when I'm hungry and sleep when I'm tired.

More carefree than anything.

There is a bed in the inn, and you prefer to sleep in the wilderness.

I regard the sky as the blanket and the earth as the bed.

Why live in an inn?

There are many things to eat in the restaurant,

yet you prefer to cook and eat by yourself.

The earth produces tens of thousands of things.

There are at least more than 3,000 things to eat.

I can eat anything edible, why go to restaurants?

This is forced logic. I can actually guess why you do this.

You don't live in an inn because you worry people will discover your whereabouts.

You cook your own food out of fear that others will poison you.

Although you don't murder people,

I know there are at least 700-800 people in the martial world who want to kill you.

You're incorrect.

The actual number of people who want to kill me…

is only 491.

You've worked that out clearly.

The most regrettable thing

is that there isn't anyone with the ability to kill me.

Those who dare to provoke you, a Killer Meteor,

80% of them are tired of living.

Don't exaggerate how good I am.

Perhaps it's you who wants to kill me.

I dare not mess with you.

It's true that I want you to do me a favour.

What… do you want me to do?

I can't stand this way of living.

I want you to accompany me to the restaurant to drink a few swigs.

Right, I'll make an exception and accompany you for a big meal.

Good.

- Nine…! - Seven…!

Six…!

Five…!

Guests, the dishes are here.

Guests, here comes the wine!

I spent 3,000 taels of silver and 20 jars of aged good wine

in exchange for this sword. What do you think?

It really is a good sword!

I don't think it's up to much.

Your sword is better than mine?

My sword won't match up to yours.

There is one man whose sword does.

What man's sword?

It's the honourable guest we invited today:

Wan Fang, the Lightning Swordsman.

Wan Fang?

My swordplay can't be compared to his,

but I don't believe his sword is better than mine.

You may be speaking the truth.

Perhaps his sword isn't comparable to yours.

But don't forget,

even if it's a piece of broken iron, its value will differ in his hands.

That's right.

How many swordsmen in the world can be compared to him now?

Hero Wan is here.

Hero Wan is here! Excuse us for not coming out to greet you.

- Not at all. - Please sit here.

- Sit down, everyone. - All right…

Two…

five…

- Two… - Six…

Six… five…

Your disciple didn't know you were here.

All right. Don't be troublesome.

- Go join your friends for a drink. - Yes.

Hero, what is the name of that man? Why do you respect him so much?

Are you worthy to ask this senior man's name?

Am I worthy of asking your name?

In front of you, my name is worthless.

Why did Wan Fang, the famous Lighting Swordsman,

call you a senior man?

Why must you ask?

Even if you don't say, I'm able to guess.

You are his master and uncle. The most admired person of Wudang.

The famous swordsman in Tsing Yi, Liu Ch'ing-I,

who defeated three heroes with one sword.

That was ten years ago.

What's changed now?

Now I'm nothing more than a slave for the Hua family.

Slave?

How would the famous Liu Ch'ing-I become someone else's slave?

Hua Wu-Ping isn't like anyone else. Hua Wu-Ping is Hua Wu-Ping.

What kind of person is he?

You'll know when you meet him.

If you don't meet him, you'll never know.

Hero Mei should await me to report to the inner hall.

As you please.

Hero Mei.

Mr Hua is burdened with illness and can't personally welcome you.

Can Hero Mei come inside, please?

Please wait.

Your subordinate was fortunate not to fail your order.

Hero Mei has come at long last.

You're Mei Hsing-Ho?

If I weren't Mei Hsing-Ho, why did Hua Wu-Ping invite me here?

If you weren't Hua Wu-Ping, Mei Hsing-Ho wouldn't have come.

It's a pity that Hua Wu-Ping is ill.

Even though Mei Hsing-Ho came,

Hua Wu-Ping still can't get up to welcome his guest.

How can Hua Wu-Ping be ill?

Rich people all like to pretend that they're poor.

People who are ill all claim not to be.

Many things in the world are like this.

Makes sense.

So what did you invite me here for?

What for?

I invited you here to take your life.

Good skill!

All of you retreat!

I hadn't expected that this move

still couldn't force the killer meteor out of you.

Forgive me.

You want to kill me, but I don't want to kill you.

Killer meteors cannot easily be deployed.

I didn't actually want to kill you. This is because I want you to save me.

By merely withstanding this sword move,

you've capable of undertaking the task that will save my life.

What if I couldn't defend it?

Then you're worthless to me. Why should I care if you live or die?

At least there's one good thing about a devil like you.

You're very frank.

That's why I don't deserve to die yet.

How do you want me to save you?

By killing someone who deserves to die.

Who?

My wife.

You are ill, you really are ill.

Otherwise, how would you ask others to kill your own wife?

Originally I was not ill, and now I am.

It's because of a bowl of ginseng soup I drank.

It was the ginseng soup stewed for me by my wife herself.

The soup was poisoned?

Why did she want to poison you?

Because she likes men, all kinds of men.

Then…

why are you not dead yet?

She still wants to exploit me.

Hua Wu-Ping has tens of thousands of wealth

and unparalleled martial arts skills.

As long as I'm not dead, no one would dare hurt her.

If I don't want to die, I mustn't let her die.

I don't understand the words you're saying.

Hero Mei.

Only she has the antidote.

Given once annually, it can only extend his life for one year.

In begging her for the antidote annually,

I have to do anything she asks of me.

Life's not very easy for you.

Only you can kill her and get the antidote.

Because she likes men.

You are a prominent man.

There are all kinds of men around her.

Are they all good martial artists?

Each of them is highly skilled.

Four of them are her favourites.

They guard the antidote day and night.

The first is called Star-studded Sky;

good at using plum needles,

and he never misses.

One is called Soul Captivator;

he has amazing suction power in both hands.

No need to check if they're all stuck in the eyes.

Not bad. What a skill you have.

Let's cook them well. It'll be a snack for us to eat.

Black Lama is an expert in using sorcery.

Ghost Taoist is extremely cunning and scheming.

These four people are all evildoers; nothing is beyond them.

No one can handle them because of their skills in martial arts.

I've heard of them.

Is it right that these four men need to be removed

before getting the antidote?

These four men aren't the most terrifying.

Who is?

My wife, Madam Hua-Yü.

- I can imagine. - Will you dare to go?

I haven't yet encountered something that I dare not do.

You're willing to save my life. I'll never let you down.

No need. I'm willing to go, but not for you, Hua Wu-Ping.

Then why are you willing to go?

Because I'm happy.

Hero Mei.

What is it?

You don't want to make friends with me?

I, Mei Hsing-Ho, rarely make friends.

You have many slaves by your side. None of them are friends.

Whether you regard me as a friend or not, I still have a secret to tell you.

Please come here.

I will hand him over to you. At your disposal.

Yes!

Come on, let's go…!

Who's that?

- Stop! Who are you? - What's the matter?

- Why are you walking at night? - Because I'm happy.

Did you have a fight with someone?

How come you're so badly beaten?

Because I'm happy.

Look at you, you must be up to no good.

- Take him back! - Yes!

Go.

WU WANG HALL

KEEP YOUR NOISE DOWN

- All cleared? - Yes.

- 63 in total were moved to the basement. - Good.

BASEMENT | NO. 2 CELL

Hey, you need to be careful. I'm going out now.

Yes.

Summon Li Wang!

Lowly Li Wang drops in to see the Great Master Ch'i.

Have you done what you've been asked to do?

Dear Master Ch'i, there are 63 prisoners in total.

I've moved them all to the basement. All but the one newcomer.

How serious were his injuries?

The injuries look serious.

It's all from punches and kicks, the internal organs aren't hurt.

I understand.

Can you guarantee that no one else knew about this matter?

All 63 people drank the poisoned tea.

There's no way they'll wake up before dawn.

This lowly person personally oversaw the poisoning.

There's no way anyone else will know.

Well done.

- Yu Shang. - Yes.

- A reward is bestowed to Li Wang. - Thank you, Master Ch'i, for this.

Open the door.

You suffered this time.

Does suffering… still bother me?

Bring the wine.

Hua Wu-Ping beat you up this time.

This is truly gratifying.

I came here especially to toast you.

Here.

I got a beating from someone, yet you came here to congratulate me?

Why aren't congratulations in order?

- All of you go down. - Yes.

Your beating from Hua Wu-Ping is proof that he has complete faith in you.

He wants you to undertake something big but doesn't want others to know.

That's why you got beaten up.

This is a trick to deceive the enemy.

Zhou Yu used it during the Three Kingdoms period.

Master Feng Ch'i is truly observant.

It's no wonder you're commended in the martial world for your wit.

You're not bad either.

I can't imagine in my wildest dreams

that Hua Wu-Ping wants me to kill his wife.

Kill Madam Hua-Yü? Why kill her?

He said it was to save his own life.

Madam Hua-Yü has many skilful subordinates.

She herself is also a first-class master.

If you accomplish this,

you'll certainly become Hua Wu-Ping's confidant,

thus bringing hope to our case.

Are you sure that Hua Wu-Ping was involved in that case?

No one else except him.

It's a pity that we haven't any sufficient evidence.

Even if you kill him, the case won't be solved.

You only need to find one of the seven exquisite valuables

stolen from the palace in his home,

then there's nothing he can do but admit to it.

This doesn't seem easy.

I invited you especially to handle this case.

It's because, even though Hua Wu-Ping may be smart,

he'd never consider that the Killer Meteor Mei Hsing-Ho

would be a secret agent for the Ministry of Justice.

Your identity has been concealed extremely well over the years,

hence you've been able to solve 19 big cases consecutively in three years.

It's a pity this time that I not only have to deal with Hua Wu-Ping,

but also Madam Hua-Yü,

who is pretty as an angel and poisonous as a snake.

People call Hua Wu-Ping 'Star of Heavenly Devil'.

With his Sword of Heavenly Devil, he rarely meets his match.

But Mei Hsing-Ho's killer meteors

are also unparalleled weapons in the world.

As long as he can trust you, you'll have a chance to overcome him.

Have you ever trusted anyone?

No. That's why I'm able to live till now.

Since you don't trust other people, why leave such an important case to me?

You're different! You're not other people.

You're the subordinate I'm proudest of.

Not only do I have trust,

but I also leave you one of my most precious possessions.

You must do your utmost.

Your chief has been transferred to the provincial capital.

I've already questioned this prisoner; there's nothing suspicious.

Detain him overnight and release him tomorrow.

Yes.

See who I am?

Feng Yüeh-Erh? Why are you here?

Surprised? You needn't be.

How can I not be surprised to see you here?

I am the thing that my father left for you.

His most precious and favourite was me.

I have always liked you,

but… I—

When I leave this time,

it'll be hard to know whether I can make it back alive—

Don't say any more.

I just want you not to forget me.

Feng Yüeh-Erh is your woman.

I love you.

You're clear now. You can go.

Of course I am cleared.

How on earth is it against the law to have been beaten?

Sir, spare some money.

I haven't eaten for three days. I'm starving. You can do a good deed.

I'm poorer than you right now.

You'd best lend two coins to buy me steamed buns to eat.

- Sir, stop joking. - Who's joking with you?

Spare me money.

- Don't bother me…! - Sir!

Sir, have pity on a beggar like me!

Go away…! I told you to go away!

Go!

I'm falling to my death!

Help! Help!

- Go and see what's there. - Yes.

Help…!

Scream or move again, I'll throw you into the river to feed the tortoise!

I won't!

I worry that Mr Hua has found the wrong person.

It turns out that Mei Hsing-Ho is such a useless person.

- Let him out. - Yes.

How odd. Why is it you? How was this task carried out?

I deserve to die!

- I deserve to die! - Why don't you get the hell out?

Are you waiting for me to skin you?

Yes…! Thank you, Miss Feng!

Who's that?

Over there!

Although I, Mei Hsing-Ho, am a useless person,

you, on the other hand,

are only a little prettier phoenix than other birds.

Who are you?

I'm the person you've been waiting for.

Madam Feng's darts are merely a few pieces of scrap iron.

Go!

Stay there! You're certainly no match for me.

Best you know your place.

- What do you want? - I know Hua Wu-Ping sent you to greet me.

Because Madam Hua-Yü always regarded you as a friend, but it's not mutual.

What else do you know?

What else do you think I should know?

You should know that I'm the only one who can take you to the Cave of Hua-Yü.

Only I can help you accomplish this task.

What's it to me if this task isn't accomplished?

Only a little to do with you.

If this isn't accomplished, you'll be a dead man!

I believe Hua Wu-Ping will definitely kill you!

So it seems that I ought to try and flatter you.

As of now, you will be my slave.

Because all the men around me are also my slaves.

So if you have one more slave by your side,

Madam Hua-Yü will never be suspicious.

If you want to go to the Cave of Hua-Yü, then you'll have to put up with it.

In order to save the life of Mr Hua, I'll have to be a slave.

Becoming a slave or not is your decision.

Rest assured, I will be your most standard slave.

Absolutely obedient.

If you don't listen to me, you won't get the antidote.

Inside this chest is the antidote that Hua Wu-Ping has been dreaming of.

Come, put it away for me.

Yes.

I already know that he'll send someone to rob it in the coming days.

You have to be extra careful.

If they dare to come,

I'll see to it that they enter normally and leave lying on their backs!

I hope they send more people; the more the merrier!

Right! If one comes in, we'll kill one. If two comes in, we'll kill a pair!

- Let's have a great killing spree! - Yeah, we'll have a great killing spree!

I fear you might not be able to handle the person who comes.

What kind of talk is that?

Even if he has three heads and six arms, we brothers won't lose to him.

Right!

Don't be too confident.

Also, this is your day to rest. Have you forgotten?

As long as Madam is here with us,

it's all the same whether we have a day off or not.

Nonsense! Is it you who makes my arrangements?!

No…! Even if this slave had such courage, he dare not.

This slave just wants to make a request.

Madam has no such interest today. Stand down!

Yes.

I'm also aware that, unless I let you go find some women,

your hands will be shaky when you kill.

I will let you have your leave, as usual, this evening.

Madam.

Should someone try to snatch this chest, what do we do?

Snatch this chest?

Even if someone comes tonight,

they may be able to enter the Cave of Hua-Yü,

but they'll be unable to open these two iron cages.

Even if they can open it, there will still be me.

Are my martial arts inferior to the four of you?

Madam's martial arts are the best, unparalleled in the world.

Not necessarily.

In the event of an emergency, I can destroy this chest at any time.

Don't worry. Go and have fun.

Thank you, Madam.

This here is almost the Cave of Hua-Yü.

After getting there, it's up to you to get it right.

Yes.

I only know that the antidote is packed in a black iron box,

hidden in a heavily-guarded place.

It is guarded day and night.

If it becomes compromised, Madam Hua-Yü might destroy the chest.

Hua Wu-Ping would die for sure.

I understand, I must not let anyone destroy it.

It's getting dark.

Accompany me to the restaurant over there for a drink.

Restaurant?

How can a restaurant be opened in such a place and have customers?

This is a very special restaurant.

It doesn't care if there are customers or not.

Let me warn you first.

No matter what you see in there later, don't speak, let alone act.

Yes.

Everything depends on my signals. Listen to my command.

Yes.

I have my plan. Don't blame me if you mess it up.

Yes.

You're truly obedient.

I'm your slave, how can I not be obedient?

I want to ask Hero Mei, how does it feel to be a slave?

I feel…

that it's a blessing to be your slave.

I am willing and glad.

- Loquacious! - Yes.

- Let's go. - Yes.

FLOWER RAIN HOUSE

No wonder the magpies were squawking today!

It's because Miss Feng has arrived! Come this way…! If you please…!

Since when did you learn to speak a human language?

The dishes Miss Feng is fond of, I remember them all.

I'll tell the kitchen to prepare them.

I forgot, I'm a slave. A slave can't sit.

You better never forget in the future.

Yes.

I didn't expect Miss Feng would come tonight.

What's this? Am I not welcome?

Who said that? How criminal.

Miss Feng is welcome here to rest and have a couple of drinks.

This is truly a great honour. I couldn't ask for more.

Then why did you say 'I didn't expect Miss Feng would come tonight'?

Is it not possible for me to come? Or am I not allowed?

Who'd dare to say such nonsense?

But… as you already knew…

tonight, this…

You have a special guest who reserved the place this evening,

and I'm not allowed to drink here?

No… who'd dare say that?

It's just those living Yamas of Madam Hua-Yü are like wild beasts.

Your presence here isn't convenient.

I've seen these living Yamas.

I don't think they'd dare touch a hair on this madam's head!

Innkeeper!

Innkeeper!

Innkeeper, Madam's sedan chair has arrived.

- Hurry! Greet them! - All right!

Miss Hung, come in!

- Innkeeper! - Miss Hung.

I haven't seen you for a few days.

- Let's go over there. - All right.

Sit down…! No formalities.

- What do you want to eat? - I want to look. What should I have?

- I want to eat noodles. - Noodles?

I want to eat steamed buns.

Come out.

You go on and have fun, I'll pretend I didn't see anything.

Miss Feng is indeed a hero amongst the ladies.

'Pretend not to see anything.' This phrase is exceedingly wonderful!

- Go and entertain them. - All right.

I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you?

Sir, you haven't been here for a long time.

I wanted you to come. You not coming wouldn't do either.

Well?

It's no use me being here, I don't like you!

- You really only like that ghost? - What's this?

Is she not allowed to like me, the ghost?

You're a ghost, I'm a human.

I'm afraid of you. I'll let you first.

As you please.

Others wonder why I don't like anyone else,

but I like you as a ghost!

But, unfortunately, he is yet to be a ghost right now.

A man dies and turns into a ghost, and he isn't dead yet.

You…!

If you really like ghosts, I'll make him one, all right?

I want you to become a ghost first!

This one has become a ghost, do you like him?

Black Lama, I'll let you have a taste of my power, too!

Slave! Are you crazy?!

Are you crazy? Why haven't you made a move?

I'm not crazy. Only a madman would dare to fight the Killer Meteor.

So you've already recognised me.

Although you're called a ghost Taoist, you don't actually want to become one.

Slave! You forgot your promise to me!

I hadn't forgotten.

Sometimes a slave can do things that he likes.

What else do you want?

I want…

to give you a spanking.

How dare you!

- Let me down! - Great spanking…!

Let me down!

Do you want me to spank you as well?

I don't! No… no!

Although you're a ghost, you're also a clever one.

I want you to take me to meet someone.

Yes… yes.

I fear you'll flee.

Go and find a rope for tying. Lead the way for me.

A rope for tying?

Hey, why won't you go?

We've arrived.

CAVE OF HUA YÜ

Go.

Madam Ch'i Ping, there's someone outside who insists on seeing you.

- Who? - I don't know.

I only saw him holding the ghost Taoist with a rope

and Madam Feng on his shoulder.

This person must be interesting. Please invite him in.

No need to invite me, I'm already in.

I heard that Mei Hsing-Ho was beaten by Hua Wu-Ping.

It looks like you have been beaten up,

and you're now venting your anger onto others.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

You're smart.

Hua Wu-Ping thought he could exploit me into coming here

and cheat the antidote from you.

I asked your friend…

to lead me here.

She's not my friend.

She thinks she's a big beauty and would never treat me as a friend.

Completely correct.

Since you're here to cheat the antidote from me, why say so?

I heard that you looked beautiful.

I couldn't help myself just now and it slipped out.

How do you know I'm a beauty? You've seen me before?

I wanted to see, that's why I'm here.

Fine. I'll let you see.

The reality doesn't always live up to the reputation.

Because of those words you said, you'll never get that antidote!

Useless! Get out at once!

Don't let her flee!

Order the guard to take her down and force her to eat the pulveriser drug.

Yes.

Do you know why I wanted to kill him?

Because I'm a man and he's a ghost.

Indeed. You are a man amongst men.

But no matter what skills you have, you'll have no way of getting my antidote.

Really?

So long as I ring this bell, it'll destroy the chest with the antidote.

All lying down!

It's there.

What shall we do?

Let me.

Hercules, take a rest and leave it to me.

Stone Monkey, look carefully. Is it this chest?

The box is right, but it's locked.

Locked? I specialise in that. Allow me.

Look who's here.

Hero Mei, the antidote chest is here.

Right.

Consider me defeated by you.

The thing on your shoulder must be the renowned killer meteor,

also known as the world's number one weapon.

Not yet.

Before the light of the meteor appears,

it's just an ordinary stick with a ball on both ends.

So you only need to use this stick to deal with most people?

Correct.

Then when will your killer meteor appear?

When killing someone.

Is there anything in the world that is brighter than the light

and faster than the speed of a meteor?

I don't think so.

Therefore, no one has ever faced your killer meteor and lived.

Until now, no.

I really want to see your killer meteor.

I don't want to kill you.

But I know there is someone who'll never let me go.

As long as the antidote gets into his hands, he—

She knows that Hua Wu-Ping will deal with her.

The method used will be vicious.

So when she saw that we succeeded,

she must have taken the poison and committed suicide.

I've returned at last, alive.

Hero Mei.

I've brought you what you wanted.

Go down.

I knew that you'd come back for sure.

You saved my life. I'll never forget this.

Master.

What was the meaning of that?

It means that I don't want to be poisoned to death yet.

That was the antidote you wanted!

The antidote is poison.

That vicious woman was always on guard in preventing me from taking the antidote.

The antidote was poisoned long ago.

I know her too well.

Living or dead, she won't let me go.

Master, then the poison in you…

To continue menacing me.

She must have a genuine antidote put aside.

Therefore, I can still be saved from the poison.

Do you know where the real antidote is?

In this very chest.

She thought I didn't know the secret of this chest.

This chest has a secret too, and you know?

Although this box looks inconspicuous,

it is, in fact, the most precious of the seven exquisite valuables

that were stolen from the palace:

the Exquisite and Wishful Eight-Treasure Chest.

I haven't seen it before, but I know…

the shape and appearance of the 13 valuables in the world.

I know them all.

The antidote is indeed here!

The Exquisite and Wishful Eight-Treasure Chest…

how come it was in the hands of Madam Hua-Yü?

Could it be she—

The antidote was actually poison!

Who's that?

You can't escape.

Better stand there obediently and surrender.

The Meteor Mansion's on fire.

Hua Wu-Ping inspired awe in the martial world.

Powerful and wealthy.

Lived every day like a god.

I couldn't have imagined it would end like this.

He saved my life with his kindness.

That's why I was willing to be his servant.

Although he was often very peculiar,

I always considered him a man amongst men.

I, Liu Ch'ing-I, owe my life to Hero Hua because he saved it.

I cannot repay him, truly the biggest regret of my life.

Regardless of whether they were a hero or an outstanding person,

there is always a sense of hollowness and desolation to see them end this way.

Hsing-Ho, you worked hard this time.

I was about to discover evidence of Hua's criminal activities,

but something unforeseen happened.

I had only left for a while and it burnt to ashes upon my return.

Although his body has turned to ashes, the evidence of his crimes is unequivocal.

What is the evidence?

This is his evidence.

I found it before you arrived.

I got this from Madam Hua-Yü.

Have you forgotten how Madam Hua-Yü is related to him?

Since Madam Hua-Yü stole it from him,

that's how he knew the secret.

This proves that this case involved him.

Just before I arrested her, she suddenly died from poisoning.

This colossal investigation of five years can finally be closed.

It's just that the price we paid for this was too great.

Not at all. It's part of my job.

Not only did you work hard for a number of years,

but this case impeded you a lot.

What happened?

You should prepare yourself for this.

I'm taking you to see something.

PRECIOUS DAUGHTER YUEH-ERH'S MEMORIAL TABLET

MEMORIAL

When did it happen?

Two or three days after you left.

- Where did she die? - Flower Rain House.

Flower Rain House?

Why did she go there?

She worried about you.

She kept arguing to help you.

I couldn't persuade her to listen.

She relied on the few skills she had.

You knew that child. I spoiled her since she was young.

I couldn't help her.

Was I responsible for her death, then? Why were you so foolish?

Fortunately, you killed those four wicked men.

She was finally avenged.

Yüeh-Erh.

Yüeh-Erh, I sincerely thank you.

You haven't died.

You will live forever in my heart.

Guest, come inside!

Guest, take a seat…

Feng Yüeh-Erh, how can I redeem myself to you?

Hero Mei, have a drink first.

- Are they still here? - All here.

Thank you for your hard work.

You must have not closed your eyes for several days.

The life of me, Fei Fei, belongs to you anyway.

The same goes for the three of them.

It's time.

I hadn't guessed incorrectly after all. You really didn't die.

I also predicted that you'd come back for sure.

How did you know?

Because I have a friend who is a thief.

He noticed for a while that there were secret mechanisms under the platform.

He also saw this Exquisite and Wishful Eight-Treasure Chest.

Why didn't he take it?

Why wasn't it taken?

They predicted that you'd surely come back.

To wait for you, they hadn't slept for three days and three nights.

The Cave of Hua-Yü is surrounded inside and out,

full of my people.

You are here!

All that waiting was unbearable for me!

You didn't expect this, did you? You're in trouble this time!

Fortunately, I am not Madam Hua-Yü.

Otherwise, I'd be dead for sure today!

Who are you?

Feng Yüeh-Erh?

Did you really think I was dead?

You were lied to.

Why lie to me?

To test if you really loved me.

That simple?

Can't a husband and wife share a joke?

What are you doing here?

My dad said there are still six valuables that can't be found.

He told me to come and look for them.

You're so familiar with this place, I'd say that you are Madam Hua-Yü.

No.

I'm Mei Hsing-Ho's wife, Feng Yüeh-Erh.

Maybe you have a dual identity.

You witnessed the death of Madam Hua-Yü.

I'm still very much alive.

You are smart, but you overlooked one thing.

What was that?

There is one other person who knows that Madam Hua-Yü isn't dead yet.

Come! Enter!

How come it's you?

It's me.

I'm not dead.

You didn't expect this, right?

It's true that I didn't expect this.

You think no one amongst the living knows that you're Madam Hua-Yü.

Isn't it strange that she didn't die?

You had my pulveriser drug and managed to survive.

It's so strange.

You forgot, isn't there an antidote inside this box?

I gave it to her to eat.

We grew up together.

I always thought you treated me like your real sister.

So I didn't hesitate to lie to Hua Wu-Ping.

You wanted others to stand in as you.

I went along with it and treated her as Madam Hua-Yü

so that it could fool Mei Hsing-Ho.

If you feel wronged and want to vent, then just speak up.

Whatever you want to say, speak your mind and spit it out!

Hua Wu-Ping was fooled.

Mei Hsing-Ho was also tricked into coming here.

Everything happened according to your original plan.

How did you treat me at the end?

You always think that you're the smartest in the world, don't you?

Things have succeeded. You were going to kill me to tie up the loose ends.

Isn't that a little too vicious of you?

Shut up!

Since you grew up with me, you should have known my personality!

You knew that I hadn't seen Madam Hua-Yü,

so you had someone else dressed up as Madam Hua-Yü.

Besides, the poison was taken in advance and the timing worked out,

enabling the corpse to turn to blood.

Then there'd be no evidence for this.

What else?

Also that you'd have to fake your own death.

You would need to marry me if you hadn't.

Sooner or later, the flaws would become known.

Anything else?

I was going to test if Hua Wu-Ping knew that this Eight-Treasure Chest was fake.

Who would have guessed that he's been clever all his life

but was fooled this one time,

and an outstanding man of his generation would end up like this?

You too… are an outstanding man of your generation.

Your fate will be worse than his!

No one can decide the fate of Mei Hsing-Ho.

I can decide!

You are far too smart.

Smart people don't live long!

You're not stupid either.

How come you were able to live so long?

Because I'm the Great Master Feng Ch'i.

The great theft of the palace five years ago.

You're guilty of embezzlement and stole the seven exquisite valuables.

But as long as the case is unsolved, you can't clear your name.

So you need to find a scapegoat.

And it had to be a person known to others as someone capable of such a theft,

so you chose Hua Wu-Ping.

Go on!

You originally used a honeytrap.

Your beautiful daughter is no better than Hua Wu-Ping,

so you chose me.

Go on.

You used me to steal the antidote

and killed Hua Wu-Ping with the poison in it.

The Eight-Treasure Chest was used as conclusive evidence against him.

The case could, therefore, be closed.

You'd be at large forever.

Go on!

The factual evidence is now abundantly clear.

The respected Master Feng Ch'i is the mastermind behind the theft.

What else is there for me to say?

Not only is there nothing else for you to say,

but there's also no way for you to escape!

Go on!

The two of us, let's go out.

Is it because you want to show me your killer meteor?

- You must see it! - All right. If you please.

The killer meteor truly is powerful.

No wonder the treacherous Master Feng Ch'i ended up like this.

So it turns out you didn't die.

I'll be honest with you.

Five years ago, the great theft of the palace

was actually committed by Feng Ch'i and me.

But he didn't honour his words and sought to kill me after it was done.

Am I, Hua Wu-Ping, so simple?

He betrothed his daughter to me

and still couldn't find out where I hid the lost treasure of the palace.

She then used ginseng soup to poison me, and I saw through it.

So I pretended to fall for it, deliberately being threatened by her.

In fact, I didn't drink that bowl of ginseng soup at all.

I'm not sick at all.

I saw you with my own eyes get poisoned and fall to the ground.

What happened there?

You only saw me fall to the ground, not being pulverised.

I used people to distract you and set fire to the building

so that at least you and Liu Ch'ing-I could prove that I was dead.

As soon as I died, Feng Ch'i and his daughter

would reveal their true colours right away!

Feng Ch'i was known as the wittiest in the world.

I think you're 10,000 times more cunning than him.

Very strange.

You probably didn't have to tell me this secret.

I've always done things clean and tidy.

Now that the wretched have already died,

and you being the secret constable for this case,

I must let you know the full plot so that you won't die a confused ghost.

I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

I've had a taste of your martial arts.

You've already used and discarded the killer meteor.

I can simply stretch my hand and take your life!

I forgot to tell you one thing.

I've already found you a burial place.

If you've any last words, just say them when you have one final breath left!

Right. We'll see who that burial place is for.

Follow me!

No matter how smart you are, you still can't escape my tricks!

Accept your fate!

Have you forgotten?

My meteors come as a pair!

Hero Mei is leaving again.

The wretched are all dead now.

Even those who shouldn't have died are dead.

Is one of us going to die?

I don't want to die. Furthermore, you shouldn't die,

because there is still a lonely person in this world who needs your care.

Someone who will never forget you.

Who?

It was you who saved her?

After going through turmoil, everyone changes.

You should be able to see that she is no longer a phoenix.

Rather, she is a human. A very adorable person.

People will change, and the light of meteors will disappear.

In this world, only righteousness, truth, and true love will never change.

Since ancient times,

many heroes and martyrs have died to defend their existence.
