Manager wang.

You're all early. I am slightly late today.

Has the young master summoned us yet?

Not yet. Not yet.

You've come at a good time.

- Please sit. - Take a rest.

Yes. Let's all sit down.

Has the young master not come out yet?

He's out already.

Look, he's in the hall.

Golden wheel facing the sun

I've practiced all these skills. But what's the point?

For what?

The golden blade...

The golden blade...

Lu feng

you all know that the old master made his name with this golden blade

before the qing regime.

The yuan golden blade is well-known in the martial arts world.

But even if I have inherited the old master's skills,

what am I to do with them now?

What's the use of kung fu when you are facing guns and cannons?

There's another household in town, the guan family,

who also practice martial arts and run a security bureau.

But they don't have much business either.

That's because with the invention of trains and steam ships,

no one needs bodyguards to escort goods anymore.

That's right. That's how things are now.

Kung fu...

Kung fu...

Forget it!

- Call them in! - Yes, sir.

Young master calls for manager qin from the bank.

That's me.

Mr. Zhang from the pawn shop!

Yes!

Starring: Yu taiping, Yang xiong tan zhendu, wang taohe

- manager zhuo from the silk shop! - Yes.

lei da, wang han-chen, shen Lao

- the restaurant manager, wang! - Yes.

young master has said there will be no more meetings for today.

Please come back tomorrow.

Hello, chief li.

Prod. Asst.: Liu qing-peng script supervisor: Liu Jin-jue

Business...

Business...

What a bother!

Young master is so talented.

Other people couldn't manage such a large business like you, sir,

you do it so well and effortlessly.

Everyone in town admires your brilliance in managing the business.

Speaking of which, there's something you need to keep an eye on.

Guan's security bureau is right between our bank and the silk shop.

It's very obtrusive.

I've instructed qin fu and zhuo bing-nan to buy off the security bureau.

That way, all our shops will be in one area.

Very well.

But the old Mr. Guan has passed away and his son has a bit of a bad temper.

I know. That's why I'm asking you to keep an eye on it.

No problem. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

It's a small matter. We'll surely resolve it.

Is young master in the mood for some entertainment today?

What? Are there fighters coming?

That's right!

The martial artists outside have nowhere to earn a living in this day and age.

When they hear of yuan's golden blade, they're like flies drawn to blood!

Who are these fighters?

They are all young men dreaming of success in this world.

But their families have little status.

I instructed for them to be brought here after your previous visitors.

Please, sit down.

There are seven in total.

One is called chen qing from the chen family in nanyang.

And there are five brothers from the meng family in cangzhou.

Meng long, meng hu, meng bao,

meng biao and meng jiao.

The last one is lei Jin. He's from the lei family in guangdong.

He might possess the best kung fu skills of them all.

- Bring me the golden blade. - Yes, sir!

- Chief li! - Sorry to keep you waiting.

Young master yuan will be with you soon. Please sit, please sit.

- This is our young master yuan. - Greetings, sir!

Master, this is Mr. Chen.

This is Mr. Lei.

And the meng brothers.

Please sit.

Your fame precedes you.

We know you're a successor of the hero of the golden blade.

It's an honor to meet you.

Chief li says you are seeking positions.

Yes, we heard that the yuan family is recruiting top martial artists.

Not exactly.

I just want to find friends to practice kung fu with me from time to time.

The golden blade was passed down to me from my late father.

- I'm sure you must have heard of it. - Of course.

Old master yuan used the 49 techniques of the golden blade to make his name.

- Every martial artist knows this. - That's right.

I would like to witness your kung fu skills.

I'll only make one strike on each of you.

Whoever can parry it will be our yuan family's honored guest.

The first golden blade technique is "golden wheel faces the sun".

Who will challenge this move?

- I'll have a go. - Ok. Mr. Chen, this way, please.

Make your move, Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan, even though chen failed to defend himself against your strike,

you didn't have to kill him!

I didn't even make a second strike.

He has his own incompetence to blame for not being able to block a strike.

If you don't think you can handle even my first strike,

it's not too late to back out now.

The five of you can attack together if you like.

I shall only strike each of you once.

That's five moves for five of you. Not a single extra move, I promise.

- How's that? - Let's do it.

If we don't dare handle his one strike, how will we ever face others?

Good. That sounds like a true hero talking.

Mr. Yuan, make your move.

I'll use the "five clouds worship the sun" move, consisting of seven strikes.

The first strike is "cloud from the nine heavens"!

"Cloud lifts from the feet".

"Cloud over an angry sea"!

"Cloud out of the wind".

"Clouds open to meet the sun".

Mr. Yuan's technique is remarkable and very powerful.

But your way of fighting is too cruel!

Nonsense! Did you see me use one move too many?

I admire your kung fu skills.

But why did you have to kill all five meng brothers?

Killing one or killing five, what difference does it make?

With such poor skills, how could they dare to try to earn money from us?

Nowadays, there is no future for martial artists.

But the golden blade hero was known for his chivalry and kindness,

so how could such cruel words come from one of his descendents?

I do not care whether I take after him or not.

No one outside will know what happened today.

Is that so? You seek to silence me as well?

That depends on whether you can deal with my strikes!

This is the sixth strike of "five clouds worship the sun".

It's called "rotations of the sun wheel"!

Good. You got away with it, surprisingly.

But after what you just said,

I must make an exception and strike once more.

Look! This is "sun shines on everything".

Wu wei security bureau

yuan's pawn shop

yuan's bank

get out of here!

Lo meng

I won't sell!

Mr. Guan, young master yuan wants to buy your failing security bureau.

- It's for your own good! - I don't think so.

He wants to annex the ancestral land on which my bureau stands.

No, definitely not.

It's because...

Because of what?

Just tell him what he said. Othennise, he'll beat us to death.

Alright. Indeed he wants to annex your land.

You... you...

Your stubbornness will force young master yuan to come himself.

Then the tables will be turned!

Everyone is afraid of him. But not me!

If he shows up here, I'll make him change his surname to fang.

And I'll beat his head into a square.

Then I'll beat it back into a ball again!

Young master.

- So, you're this yuan fellow? - Why, you...

I told you, my bureau is not for sale!

Just name your price, whatever it is.

Alright, I definitely won't sell, but I'll exchange it for one thing.

What is that?

That head of yours looks quite good... I'll take that!

Excellent! I was itching for a fight.

Brother!

Liao an-li

mother is asking for you.

- Brother. - Fine!

You're lucky this time!

What are you looking at?

Ming xiang restaurant

Sun chien

wang li

chiang sheng

You seem to be lucky today.

In this restaurant, the manager and waiters are all small and skinny.

They won't beat you too badly.

Let's go.

Sir, one yuan and 43 cents in total, please.

- Somebody, help! - What's the matter? What's wrong?

- Eating without paying! - Beat him!

Philip kwok

- Stop! Put it all on my bill. - Stop beating him.

He fei, something's wrong.

Feng jia-ji should have been beaten by now.

Yes! I'm getting hungry again.

Naughty belly! You're always hungry!

Get lost!

I can't believe they beat him so badly!

I know we didn't pay, but there's no need to use such force!

Forget it. We deserved it.

You even complained that one of the dishes was over-cooked.

They used wooden Poles to beat me.

Had someone not helped me, they might've used their kitchen knives!

Who helped you?

I didn't see him clearly.

I only heard him say to stop the beating and put everything on his bill.

- Waiter, the bill, please. - Coming.

There you go. Two yuan and eighty cents in total.

One yuan and four cents are from the other guy's bill.

- I said you could put it on my bill. - Alright.

- Come on! - You... manager, over here!

- Another trying to eat without paying! - Beat him!

Murder!

You can't pay, and yet you say you'll pay for others? Beat him!

Hey, it's not my fault you guys can't kill me.

Careful! Whoever touches this pole will die.

Yuan feng restau rant

he fei, this morning, we've passed through three towns and eight restaurants.

You won't let me enter any of them, and now you say this one's also a no-go?

If you don't want to see me killed by that fat guy with the big knife...

No, every time it's his turn to take a beating,

he comes up with all sorts of excuses.

Alright, this one, then.

Anyway, if! Get killed, it'll only benefit you guys.

- What benefit? - You can then cook and eat me.

Look here, here and here.

There's quite a lot of meat to share.

He fei, if you won't take a beating, then pawn your swords for some money.

- Not going to happen! - It seems nothing works for you.

Zeng qiao, I'm telling you, don't ever ask me to pawn my swords again!

I may be poor, but these swords have been passed down from my ancestors.

Hey, forget it.

Forget it? My belly won't forget about it, though.

Fine, fine, fine! Let's eat at this one.

I'm resigned to my fate.

What do you think? Not bad, right?

These people won't be easy to deal with. Let me cover for you.

What do you mean? We agreed to take turns.

I can't take advantage of you.

See? Feng jia-ji is more of a friend than you!

- You... - Hey!

Go wait for me at the door.

- Waiter! - Coming!

Sir, in total, that's...

There's no need to add it up.

Beat me up, then.

Wait here, I'll bring the manager.

Manager, it's him!

So, you don't have any money to pay?

Stop with the nonsense. Come on, beat me.

You can walk away without being beaten, even if you can't pay.

What? Did I hear that right?

Yes, but you can't leave by these stairs.

You have to jump from this window.

I see. There'll be people down there waiting to beat me with their weapons.

Nobody's going to beat you. Just jump.

I've been to many places but I've never heard of such a good restaurant.

I'd rather take a beating. I ate, but didn't have money to pay.

Let's settle this physically, then we don't owe each other anything.

Come on... hit me!

You must be too full to think straight.

Our boss says that good martial artists,

unless they're truly desperate, would never eat without paying.

- Yes. - He also respects those with great skill.

- That's why you have to jump. - I haven't eaten for free!

I let you beat me, but you refused! What's the name of your boss?

Oh, it's yuan ying-fei, the well-known golden blade master.

Alright, thanks. I might be back.

Those fried shrimps I ordered weren't bad actually.

Thanks for your feedback.

- What's that all about down there? - Well...

If you have real kung fu skill, it should be nothing to worry about.

If you don't, and you hurt yourself badly, that's your own doing.

- He fei? - All my bones have been broken.

Ouch! Don't touch me! Those broken bones are so painful!

He fei, it's my fault. I shouldn't have forced you into that restaurant.

I should've taken your place.

At least I'm stronger than you.

It's good you still have a conscience.

Why, you...

I was lucky, that restaurant doesn't beat people.

Why don't we just stay? Live here and eat there every day?

He fei!

I tell you, the boss of that restaurant told me...

Temple of god of chivalry

We ate without paying.

If we'd got beaten up, at least we wouldn't owe them anything.

The owner of the restaurant respects martial artists.

If we return, we're less than human.

Right. We still owe them this meal.

I can't get it out of my mind.

Let's go again tomorrow.

You think I'll eat without paying again?

I'll pawn these swords, and we'll pay for today's meal as well.

Not willing to part with them, he fei?

To be honest, though my axe isn't worth much, I wouldn't want to lose it.

We're all from prestigious families.

You're a zeng, the mountain axe family.

He's a feng, the iron leg family.

My family also ran a security bureau, back in the day.

My father was the chief when he was alive,

and he achieved much success with these swords.

As the junior chief...

I grew up with nothing but some kung fu skills.

But now it's all about guns and Cannon.

Kung fu has become useless.

Yuan's pawn shop

How much do you want?

- Twenty silver coins. - They're not worth that much.

- Fifteen, then. - Not worth that much.

Then how much would you say they're worth?

Thirty cents for this pair of rusted swords.

Take a closer look at them! They are a family heirloom!

Say they're rusted again, and I'll see how sharp they are on you!

- Alright, twenty, then. Write the check. - Yes.

- Rusted... - What?

No, no, no. Twenty for the pair of precious swords.

They're good swords.

Who was the owner?

A young chap, quite fierce and aggressive.

He must be an exceptional martial artist to own such fine swords.

When he comes back to redeem them, introduce him to me.

Yes, I know young master likes making new friends.

That's why I brought the swords to you.

Very good.

Have you sent the gifts to miss guan?

Yes, but I fear the outcome will be the same.

Get out!

I'll break your legs if I see you again!

- We're just here to deliver presents... - Get lost!

Wow, what a bully.

Brother!

Get inside.

- Brother. - Quiet!

When those people see you, they're like dogs salivating over a bone!

Restaurant

What do you want?

I'm a bit confused.

How come this time he can walk out freely after eating?

- I'm full. Why can't I leave? - You should stay for a beating, of course.

Oh? Do we look like we ate without paying?

I can see you're exactly the types.

You better not use weapons.

Anyone who touches my pole will be history.

I don't think I'll die that easily.

- You... - These two aren't true friends.

They left you alone to take the heat. I'll beat them up for you.

Go on, then!

I'm hungry now. I'll deal with you lot after I've eaten.

Upstairs, please.

Come on, jump down. Jump and you won't need to pay.

- If I jump, I'll fall onto those spikes. - That depends on your kung fu skills.

There are consequences for eating without paying.

I told you, there are many people with special talents.

Even though they're too poor to pay for their food,

we should not look down upon them.

Keep an eye on them and report to me with any news.

Yes, sir.

Master, guan yun has no sense of appreciation.

- Don't rush things. - We can easily take over a failing bureau.

And what would you do aftennards? Would miss guan like me then?

Guan yun is the only obstacle.

You'd have it already if he weren't in the way.

That's true.

However... We can't confront him directly.

- Understood? - Yes, yes.

A few martial artists have arrived in town.

Some of them look like experts.

Keep an eye on the restaurants and pawn shops.

We've spent the twenty coins. What should we do tomorrow?

We should eat for free at the yuan restaurant again.

You might have the nerve to go, but I'd feel ashamed.

I think tomorrow we should pawn your swords for good.

- That way, we can get a few more coins. - No way!

- I'll surely find a way to get them back. - I wonder if they'd even accept them.

Since you look down on my swords,

I'll get thirty more coins to prove their value!

Redeeming your goods?

Twenty-two coins in total, including interest.

Oh, it's you.

- You've come to redeem the swords? - Yes.

My swords...

Yes, yes, they are fine. Bring them here.

- Please, take a look. - I didn't come to redeem them.

I... I want to sell them off.

They're good swords and must be worth more than twenty coins.

I know... I know...

Our boss said the owner of these swords must be a hero,

who wouldn't pawn them unless he was desperate.

He said that if you came back, they should be returned as they are.

He also said that if you were in need of money, to simply ask.

Keep the swords and pawn them for another thirty coins.

Thirty coins, here.

Count them.

- What's the name of your boss? - Young master yuan ying-fei.

Huh? It's him again.

Your belly sounds hungry. Here, take this.

You two, let's go in.

Ow! What's that?

What's wrong with buying you a meal?

After I fill my belly, I'll make you kowtow to me.

- With those skills? - Ah!

Yes. Precisely!

Touch my pole and you die.

Fine. A due! At god of chivalry temple if you have the guts.

- Whoever backs out is the loser. - Hey, I won't fight a hungry man.

Let's use weapons. It's more fun than kicks and punches.

No need. If you touch my pole, you die.

Feng jia-ji, fight or you're a coward.

If I had my swords, I'd make you kneel down and cry for mercy.

Let's see who'll cry for mercy!

Stop the fight.

Get lost. This is none of your business.

We're all friends in the martial arts world.

Why are we fighting each other?

Look, this gentleman here says he's also a martial artist.

I am yuan ying-fei.

I'd like to make friends with you.

Please come to my home where we can talk.

Oh, no problem! We all know you're very hospitable.

You have admirable rules in your restaurant.

If I were desperately hungry, I'd go there again.

But visiting your home? Sorry, but I can't.

You better invite those three.

Hey, do we look like we have lots of free time?

I only want to talk about our kung fu experiences with you all.

There's no ulterior motive.

I'm not so very different from you.

The only difference is that my late father left me an inheritance.

So, you know kung fu?

You're all martial artists, aren't you?

Haven't you heard of the yuan family's golden blade?

Of course I have.

The hero yuan possessed great wealth and invincible skills.

He was famous during the qing dynasty.

Five years ago, he passed away at the age of 80.

That's right.

This is the son of the hero yuan of the golden blade.

Do you believe he knows kung fu?

Bring out the golden blade!

See that?

As the son of yuan the golden blade hero,

you should be able to parry three strikes from me.

If you succeed, I'll visit your home.

Very well, I'll challenge your three pole strikes.

Strike one!

Good. Now strike two.

- If I hit you again, what would you do? - I certainly know what I'd do.

Strike three!

I'm homeless anyway. There's no harm in staying at your place for a few days.

Welcome.

Please come in.

These are foreign cigars. Please help yourself.

Young master said you should all take a bath first.

After you've changed, he'll welcome you with a feast.

Where's the bath?

The bath is over there.

What are you doing?

- What's the matter? - Those women...

- They're here to serve you in your bath. - We'll do it ourselves.

Tell them to leave.

Girls, out! Out!

This way.

Please, take a seat.

It's made of gold!

I was just messing around. I wouldn't dare.

This tableware is so delicate.

After the meal, clean a set and send it up to brother he's room.

Please sit down.

Please make yourselves at home.

Help yourselves.

I counted them at dinner. The whole set consists of 56 pieces.

Not a single piece can be left out.

There should be 120 pieces in a set. You miscounted.

These could last us for years!

My swords!

Damn, my pawn shop receipt is gone.

Seriously? You think master yuan would worry about that?

Master yuan, you are such a good friend!

I'll do whatever you ask.

Thanks. I just want to be friends with the four of you.

I have no intention of asking any favors from you.

You're so good to them, sir.

They just eat, practice kung fu all day and make a mess of the place.

Why are they still here?

And what about that cutlery set of over a hundred gold pieces?

If I treat them well, they'll do anything for me.

As for the gifts, let's just say they're temporararily in their keeping.

When the time comes...

They'll be mine again.

It's all for guan yun.

When should we ask them to pay him a visit?

We can't just ask them to go like that.

You should spend more time with them.

Let them know how I've been ill-treated by guan yun.

- Let them voluntarily seek justice for me. - Yes, sir.

Sometimes, it's strategic to play the victim.

Right, playing the victim, yes.

You...

That's strange.

Chief li, what happened to you? Are you alright?

Don't!

Eh? That's odd.

Humiliating the servant equals humiliating the master.

- Who beat you like this? - It doesn't matter.

But even our master has suffered injustice.

What? Who would dare do such a thing?

Not only is he an expert in kung fu, but his family is rich and famous too.

Master values his fame too much, he wouldn't allow us to seek revenge.

But there's no use talking about virtue and morality with those people.

- Of course there is. - That's ridiculous!

Stack them up, hurry.

- What's going on? - He...

Oh, it's this guy.

- Do you know him? - Met him before, quite the bully.

People are afraid at the sight of you. Isn't that enough?

Lackeys!

It's one-on-one now.

Your kung fu is quite good.

However, it doesn't compare to mine.

Brother! Brother!

I wasn't fighting.

- He's hen-pecked. - No, that's his younger sister.

His sister?

Mother told you not to cause trouble.

He's not afraid of his sister but afraid of his mother.

Life can't be easy for him.

Don't tell mother.

Mr. Guan, I'll allow you three moves in advance.

- Do you really have the skill to do that? - You have my word.

If you manage to kill me in three moves, I'll only have my overconfidence to blame.

Right, then!

Hey, he let you move first. Why do you have to use such force?

You outnumber me and want to stall me, while you deal with my mother and sister.

One killed is one less problem!

We outnumbered you earlier, if advantage is what we wanted.

You haven't killed me yet.

Very well, I'll allow you three moves in advance.

Not bad.

Brother!

Ah-yun!

Are you fighting again?

You...

It's not like that, mother!

These guys are my friends. We were just practicing kung fu.

Look, mother.

- We're all good friends. - How are you, auntie?

You rascal!

If they're your friends, invite them in.

Ah-xiao, go and see if there's enough rice.

Let's cook and invite them for dinner.

Mother, there's no need.

They're quite well-fed. Look how chubby they are.

We'll fight again tomorrow.

Deal. Where?

The temple of the god of chivalry. I'll see you there.

Let's go.

What a pity!

You allowed me three punches yesterday.

I allowed you three kicks, but you only made two.

Today, I'll allow you one more kick.

I can't win. There's no need to fight anymore.

Hey, even if you can't win, just keep fighting.

I'd love to see how you hold yourself in a fight.

Ready?

Yang zhui-feng, whose side are you on?

I'm deeply focused on observing the best kung fu.

But that's not you.

What weapon are you going to use?

He fei's swords are no joke.

Hear that? My swords are serious weapons.

So are my kicks and punches!

- Excellent swords! - You know your stuff.

I said excellent swords, not excellent swordsmanship.

You'll find out soon enough!

Excellent swords or not, they've had no effect on me so far.

Oh, really?

Watch.

"Two wings fly", quite a move.

We hold no grudge between us, and you were unarmed.

I just couldn't kill someone like that.

I don't think you could kill me that easily.

But let's finish for today.

It'll be your turn tomorrow. Deal?

Good!

Wait.

Listen to me...

Too bad we can't defeat guan yun.

It seems guan yun is quite a hero.

Yang zhui-feng, now it's up to you.

Don't touch that!

Or else instant death?

If you're still not convinced...

Forget it, you're still a decent man.

But when you stop behaving like one, I won't spare you!

Stop talking nonsense.

Let's eat.

Still acting like a poor man?

I'll save this for tomorrow, while watching you fight.

Give that to me.

Here, eat this and get more strength.

- I'm not a dog fed by the yuan family! - Well said.

He's actually insulting us.

Come on, eat.

I'm hungry. Let's stop for now.

I'll be back in the afternoon. Wait here.

You might've won if you'd continued.

Maybe, but fighting a hungry man isn't fair.

His family runs a security bureau. I don't think he'll go hungry.

But in this day and age, what business could a bureau have?

- Let me see your swords. - What do you have in mind?

Pawn them, no matter how much they fetch.

We can buy some food and wine to feast with guan yun.

You're out of your mind!

You two also think...

Guan yun's a good man. We should have a drink with him.

Master yuan has lots of food and wine. We can just bring some from there.

- It's got to be us treating him. - No way!

Alright, I'll do it myself. Let go!

I'll pawn them.

Come and have a drink with us.

We paid for the food out of our own pockets.

Please be our guest.

I bought this meal by pawning my swords.

If you don't appreciate it, hlfightyou!

No one invites a guest like that.

Alright, for the sake of you pawning your good swords...

- Let's drink. - Pour me some.

Cheers! Cheers!

This morning, we used kicks and punches. Let's see your skills with the pole.

- You're still fighting barehanded? - Of course, I never use weapons.

We had food and drink. Now, it's time to fight, right?

Come on, you two, fight!

Young master,

those four guys and guan yun seem to have become friends.

I expected that would happen.

Since those four guys are pretty useless, why don't we...?

They can still be useful.

Who said they were useless?

Swap this with Yang zhui-feng's pole.

If you're discovered, I'll kill you.

Yes, yes, sir.

Rest assured, master.

The fights go on and on, with no winner.

Your "killing" pole technique is useless!

Guan yun is a good man.

Competition is one thing, but one shouldn't injure others.

His crappy pole might not be able to injure guan yun anyway.

Let's see about it tomorrow.

Guan yun is a good guy to become friends with.

That's more like it.

Alright, I'll settle the score with you after I get my swords back.

It's my treat today.

Hey, how did you get the money?

You have things to pawn. Can't I do the same?

Alright! Come and eat. Come on.

Help yourselves.

It seems that your security bureau hasn't had any business for three years.

You're so stubborn.

If there's no business, just sell it. Why are you...?

Don't be angry, brother guan.

He fei's family also used to run a security bureau.

They sold it due to lack of business, and now he's adrift.

Losen

to be frank, my family also ran a security bureau, just like he fei.

Since I'm down and out now, I haven't mentioned it to anyone.

I never use weapons and always fight with my bare hands,

whatever the opponent uses.

There was no winner yesterday, even after a series of fights.

So use your pole techniques to the utmost today.

Don't feel you're taking advantage of me because I'm unarmed.

I have a few deadly pole techniques. I fear that...

Don't worry. Feel free to use them.

I won't blame you if! Die because I hadn't mastered kung fu.

Fine.

Let's move.

Please...

Is that one of the deadly techniques you were talking about?

.No...

Yang zhui-feng, you hid explosives in your pole.

No wonder you said it could kill at a touch!

I thought we were just practicing kung fu, but you...

No, I didn't do this.

My mother, my sister, I can't...

Stop!

Don't stop. Yang zhui-feng, you're a villain!

Careful, his pole contains dynamite!

Wu wei security bureau

My brother spent the whole night saying...

That the four of you didn't look like yuan's lackeys.

- He didn't see who you really were! - Miss guan...

Just kill me as well!

The yuans can dream on if they want me!

As long as I'm standing, they'll never get our land or property!

Yuan ying-fei has money.

He can afford to hire killers.

Brother!

How...

How am I going to tell our mother?

Miss guan...

Guan yun was not killed by us.

The three of us saw him as a good friend.

Yuan ying-fei must have hired Yang zhui-feng to kill him.

My child.

Mother!

My child.

Don't worry.

Your mother will take you to a place...

Where yuan won't be able to harm you.

Young master, do you know magic? How did you do that?

When the pole struck guan's stomach, there was an explosion!

It's not magic.

I made an identical pole,

carved out a hollow and stuffed it with dynamite.

With a strong enough impact, it naturally...

Now you've got rid of guan yun, you can...

There's something else I need to see to.

Once I take care of those three other fools...

You can tell miss guan that I have avenged her brother's death

and I will welcome her and her mother to live here.

Yes, sir.

Where's that murderer hiding?

Yuan ying-fei, what do you want?

I'm here to avenge guan yun.

If that were true, we'd carve our eyes out.

I must go see the guan family.

Yang zhui-feng, you...

Where are guan yun's mother and sister?

- You didn't even spare the women! - When I arrived, they were already...

Wait, where are zeng qiao and feng jia-ji?

How dare you mention their names!

Listen, I will find out the truth.

If you still think I am wrong, you can kill me, I won't fight back.

Mrs. Guan, miss guan...

Young master yuan has killed those men and avenged your brother.

Don't hide in the house in mourning, miss guan.

I've come bearing good news.

Master yuan has asked me to take you both to his home.

Hey, think about it. Mr. Yuan is wealthy, powerful, young and handsome.

Such an ideal man is hard to come by.

Miss guan...

If you won't come out, I'll have to be rude and come and get you.

It wasn't my fault.

It was my master's idea to stuff explosives in the pole.

My master asked me to switch Yang zhui-feng's pole

in order to kill guan yun.

It's you!

And you!

Do you think yuan ying-fei will find us here?

No, but he'll surely go to the temple of the god of chivalry.

He'd think we'd be too afraid to come here.

Yes. That's exactly what the young master thinks.

But I expected you'd come here, so I waited for you.

You... You're the restaurant manager.

I'm glad you recognized me.

I have served the yuan family since the old master's time.

I shouldn't reveal my young master's secrets,

but he has become a mad man.

He is obsessed with kung fu and kills for no reason,

only for the chance to show off his skills.

The old master had his son at an old age so he spoiled him rotten.

He taught him all the best skills,

thus making the young master quite arrogant since childhood.

The young master is quite smart and has mastered martial arts.

However, he has nowhere to employ his skills in this day and age,

just like many martial artists who also find their skills useless nowadays.

The young master used his resources to lay traps

in order to lure and kill martial artists for his own entertainment.

The restaurant is one such trap.

You must have surely figured that out.

The old master made his name by mastering the famous weapon

called the "golden blade".

The first technique was named: "Golden wheel facing the sun".

The young master has fully mastered his father's techniques.

There are seven moves in this set of blade techniques.

Each move contains seven styles, making a total of 49 styles.

The deadliest move is called: "Five clouds worship the sun".

The seven styles in this move are:

"Clouds from the nine heavens",

"clouds beneath the feet",

"clouds from the eastern sea",

"clouds out of the wind",

"clouds open for the sun",

"nine rotations of the sun",

"the sun shines everywhere".

I don't practice any kung fu myself, so this is all I know.

You are both martial artists,

so you might be able to decipher the hidden meanings in those names.

I can't bear to watch the young master kill more innocent people with his blade.

But there's only so much I can do to help.

What's the use of knowing the names of a few techniques?

Try to remember, what techniques did yuan ying-fei use?

I remember now!

The style he used to kill zeng qiao was: "Clouds from the nine heavens".

The style he used to kill feng jia-ji was: "Clouds beneath the feet".

- Only those two moves? - That's right.

The other styles he used don't match the names that the managerjust told us.

The two of us alone can't match him.

But his two bodyguards have just been killed,

and he won't have had enough time to find new ones yet,

so we might have a chance to fight him together.

We only have tonight to practice

and surprise him with an attack tomorrow morning

that will catch him off guard.

Let's make a start now as time is tight. Explain those two moves to me.

First, we tackle "clouds from the nine heavens".

Then we take on "clouds beneath the feet".

Considering how we've practiced,

we should be able to tackle those two deadly moves of his.

But we're not sure of his other five moves.

Based on what we know,

yuan ying-fei practices a hard-style swordsmanship.

That's correct, he makes fierce and big movements with the blade.

Our strategy should be to attack his weak spot at the right time.

We need to surprise him without giving him a chance to prepare.

Remember, we are here to avenge our friends, not compete in kung fu.

We'll take turns to attack him and wear him out.

We'll force him to use "five clouds worship the sun".

- That way, we can beat him together. - Understood.

Also, when I fought with guan yun, I held back three deadly moves.

They are life-saving moves in an emergency,

and they will complement your best moves.

Let's practice them now.

When I use the "tiger in the woods" move, throw the drum at me.

"Reverse-stance level strike".

"Tiger in the woods".

Throw it!

Young master, they're here.

I sent people looking for you, but it was all in vain.

I guessed you might come here by yourselves, and you did.

Don't worry. Come in.

There's no danger, except for the golden blade.

You know I've not found any more staff yet.

That's why you're here, right?

You're here to avenge your friends.

I haven't been able to find my match so far.

Let's hope you both turn out to be better than others.

I'll attack him first and you take care of those two,

in case they try any tricks at the critical moment.

"Golden wheel facing the sun".

"Clouds from the nine heavens".

"Clouds out of the wind".

You seem to know a lot about my techniques.

Try your luck against this: "Clouds open for the sun"!

Alright, now try against this: "Nine rotations of the sun".

"The sun shines everywhere"!

I won't need to worry about where to stay and eat tonight.

How about you?
