You've been sentenced to life imprisonment

for the attempted murder of an officer.

The victor always becomes the king, while the defeated are named the enemy.

I have nothing to say now, underyour capture.

I'll be honest with you.

Wolf's Teeth Island is surrounded by crags and infested with sharks.

The Official ship only comes by every 3 months

to deliverfood and prisoners to the island.

I'd advise you not to even think about escaping.

Stop your crazy ideas,

and just be obedient here for the rest of your days.

Then, it'll be all up to you to take care of me.

Thousand Hands, lock this convict into your cell.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Just go a little lightly with the whipping.

This is the wife of Liu Dai Hung, the General of the western boundary.

You people are so ungrateful that you kill your old master.

Bastards, you all deserve to die.

You've been having nightmares all night.

You kept shouting several names and calling for revenge.

Just let it go! Who wouldn't have resentments coming to a place like this?

Who in here would bear no grudge?

Take me as an example.

My husband was forced into crime to pay off exorbitant taxes and levies.

He got caught and executed by the judiciaries.

After that, I lowered myself to becoming a pickpocket.

I became infamous and was known as "A Thousand Hands".

After all that, I still got locked up in prison.

Now, I am the warden of this cell.

Hurry up!

I've been worried for you. Now trouble seems to be stepping in?

Am I pregnant?

Yee-Mei, are you alright?

With the child taking vengeance for his father,

my sacrifice does not matter.

Yee Mei.

Show it to her.

It's a girl.

It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy;

I have finally given a child to the Liu family.

Her father died with his name not cleared.

I will bear this shame.

I just hope that she can live a peaceful life.

Her life will be filled with grudges and hatred.

Without this girl, I would die with regret.

If no revenge is taken, I will die with even more regret.

It seems I will not be able to leave this Wolf's Teeth Island alive,

but this child will be let go.

I sincerely beg of each of you...

to pass this duty of vengeance to my child.

Sister, wait until she reaches adulthood and

tell her of my tragic fate and profound hatred.

Have her take revenge for me.

This was how the story goes...

Hold it.

Who's this?

Zhao Cai, Dou Qi, Hao Shi and Wen Jiu

You four ungrateful wretches

I've treated all of you well. Why would you all turn against me?

We have a new master now. You should know this without us having to say it.

The Sixth Prince's most favorite, Chou Kui. Is that right?

Yes. Since you always go against him,

he wanted to use all means get rid of your post.

With the kind of person you are, if you don't disappear forever,

the Sixth Prince will not be relieved.

Dear husband!

We were ordered to kill Liu only.

She has always made me crazy with desire!

You are an accommodating woman.

If you serve me well, you might have a chance to live.

Help!

Grab her.

She tried to murder me for my money.

No, he killed my husband and tried to rape me.

Who are you?

I am a General Hao, underthe Sixth Prince.

Due to his strong support in the courts,

I had no chance to state my case there,

so I was banished to this island.

Those enemies of mine

are named Zhao Cai, Dou Qi,

Hao Shi and Wen Jiu.

When my child grows up,

I beg you to tell her to take revenge for mother.

I beg you.

I beg you, madam.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you so much.

Yee Mei!

How hard it is for this child!

Her parents died unjustly,

but I don't want this child to do as her mother says.

Please take care of her and teach her Buddhism,

so that her parents will be reincarnated.

(Buddha.)

You are doing the right thing. Our fate is predestined.

If we always incriminate others and seek revenge,

then this vicious circle will never end.

Leave the child to me.

Thank you, Master.

The child is so delicate; She is still completely unpolluted by the world.

Since she is like the lotus that grows from the dirt,

I will name her Jie Lian (Pure Lotus).

May peace be will you, Master.

Hold it.

It's overfor now, we have a winner. No need to continue.

I want to win completely; I need get in another punch.

Martial arts are practiced for self-defense and fitness,

not for defeating others. Next group, please!

Yes.

Jie Lian has learned Kung Fu well.

Her kung-fu is very good, but she is too aggressive.

Amita Buddha (Buddha be praised!).

There are several ways of phrasing the 10 precepts of Buddhism.

Brahmajala Sutra names it the 'Ten endless precepts"

or 'Ten great precepts":

Do not harm living beings; do not take things not freely given;

no sexual misconduct;

Abstain from false speech, intoxicating drinks,

and do not cause others to commit the precepts.

Thou shall not commit libel or curse.

Thou shall not show anger or speak against Buddhism.

Another scripture has a new interpretation

on the 10 precepts...

Before I was halfway through the lecture,

I realized that Jie Lian was gone.

This was not the first time. She does this almost every day.

Some say that she often skips class to practice kung fu on the hills.

Although we, the Three Tigers of Chien-Nan,

will kill in the blink of an eye,

we are gentle towards the ladies.

Don't be shy. We'll take turns after we let our big brother give it a try.

Why don't you speak up? Are you mute?

Scorpions are naturally poisonous,

and must feel sad if they cannot use their poison...

Now is the perfect time for you to use all of your poison.

Jie Lian, come with me.

Jie Lian, you are fated to carry aggression.

In the past twenty years, I've done all I could to lead you on the right path.

You violated the principle of no killing.

From this day forward, you don't belong here.

You will have nothing else to do with Buddhism.

However, if you can turn over a new leaf,

you're always welcome to return.

Thanks, Master

I have one last question.

What is it?

You said my fate carries a lot of aggression.

Can you explain that to me?

When you leave from the mountain, you can go ask your godmother.

Is anyone in here?

The door is unlocked. Please come in.

There's rice in the kitchen; Help yourself to a bowl.

What bad luck to see a nun coming in during a game of pai gow.

Godmother.

Why, it's you, Xiao-Mei!

Xiao Mei, no. No... I shouldn't call you Xiao Mei now.

I should be calling you...

The Buddhist nun, Miao-Qing, named you Jie Lian, right?

Yes. That's right. Come, come.

I have a question for you, Godmother.

What is it?

Is there some secret regarding my origin?

That... there's nothing much to say about that.

The abbess, Miao-Qing, mentioned that my life is full of aggression,

and she told me to ask you about it Godmother.

I don't want you to know about those things.

That's why I sent you to the nunnery.

But I have been evicted by the nuns

due to all of this aggression I carry.

Even though nobody ever told me about it,

I realized early on that there was hatred within me.

Godmother, where does this hatred come from?

This hatred has been here these last twenty years

and has yet to disappear.

That is why I want to know the whole story.

Please tell me, godmother.

Both Nun Miao Qing and I didn't want you to pursue this path.

But in the end, you are...

Perhaps this is the will of God.

No. It must be your mother's soul in the afterlife

that is giving hints to you.

Would you like another bowl, sir?

No thanks. My appetite hasn't been so good lately...

That'll be enough.

Sorry, sorry.

I'm sorry about this.

I'll treat for the meal today.

How much is it altogether, including his bill?

The total is 8 taels and 7 pence.

8 taels and 7 pence.

Thank you, sir.

Thanks for the meal; sorry

It's fine. I should be the one apologizing.

Here's your change.

Fans! Fans! Fans for sale!

Sir, this fan was painted by a famous artist.

Go away!

How about this one, sir?

This erotic picture was painted by Chou Shi Zhou.

Fine art guaranteed at a fair price.

How much is this fan?

This is an heirloom. It's my grand-grandmother's trousseau.

Actually I didn't want to sell it.

But since you seem so passionate about art,

I will reluctantly sell it to you

for 500 taels of silver.

This fan for 500 taels of silver?

If you don't want it, forget it. I don't want to sell it now anyway.

I'm sorry. A Scorpion!

Don't move! I'll take care of it.

It's fine now. Nothing to worry about here.

Thank you, Miss.

Scorpion!

You still haven't changed.

Master.

The is Jie Lian, the girl I have often mentioned to you.

I think we will hit it off well with each other.

You're doing pretty well. I only taught you

how to be a pickpocket for fun.

I never expected you to be so talented at it.

Don't forget that I am also your Goddaughter.

Ah Shu, Jie Lian has something that requires your help.

Yes, master. Please let me know how I can be of help.

Hope I can win this time.

Such a nice card.

It sucks.

Killed through.

How can you make pairs for such cards?

Lost again. I'm running out of luck.

You were almost there, Mr. Wong. Let's play again.

Perhaps you can break even on the next game.

Sorry, but can you lend me more money?

No. You already owe a lot.

Go on. Place your bets.

It's not like I won't return it. I just need to borrow a bit more.

I can't make that decision. I'll discuss it with my boss.

But if you don't have any collateral,

I doubt you can borrow any money this time.

Mr. Wong is asking for money again.

Boss Hao.

You've already borrowed quite a lot of money, Mr. Wong.

You haven't paid up yet. How could you...

Mr. Hao, you can have my land's deed as collateral. Please lend some more money.

Very well.

Thanks, Mr. Hao. Can I borrow two hundreds taels?

You must bejoking. How could we lend you more?

This deed is only to pay off the interest on the old debt.

People!

Boss Hao.

Get him out of here.

Boss Hao.

Boss Hao, we've caught a pickpocket.

Take him in.

Bring him inside.

This guy has stolen from 7 or 8 customers' purses already

in only seconds.

You have dared to offend me?!

I assume you didn't pry into my background.

I own this place, and I need all good men to respect it.

Mr. Hao, you've been mistaken.

I'm trying to lend some money to win all my money back.

I dare not to touch what is yours.

Tell me, what should I do now?

I failed to recognize a great person.

No need for you to beat me; I will beat myself.

- Throw him out and break his arms. - Yes Sir.

Let him go. I have the wallets.

I was the one who stole the wallets. Leave him alone.

If you have problem, you can come to me.

So the both of you teamed up?

We've lost a lot. We had no other choice.

How about this. We can play a round of pai gow.

If I win, you let us go.

If you win.

You can pay me some more money and I will be yours.

Alright. But you will definitely lose.

Today, you will sleep underneath me.

Let him go.

Please.

The third highest combination

the second highest pair

the best combination

I've lost.

Please go ahead.

You've cheated to purposely let me win the game.

You tried every trick just to spend time with me alone.

I am sure you are not here for money.

Tell me, who are you?

Why do you want to get close to me?

If you don't tell me, I will leave you here to starve to death.

I am afraid you will die before I do.

You've already been bitten by a scorpion!

Bring me the medicine!

No medicine can save you.

The scorpion is mine, And only I can get the poison out.

Let me out!

Damn it! You can forget it.

Release her.

Jie Lian.

This way.

Tell me, where are Zhao Cai, Dou Qi and Wen Jiu?

Run! The people outside have taken notice.

Let's go.

Hao Shi's funeral.

Why aren't Zhao Cai, Dou Qi and Wen Jiu here?

Excuse me. Is the deceased named Hao Shi?

I guess so. I'm not so sure either.

You're at it again!

Who is he?

Brother Hao, I came late.

We swore to partake in each other's joys and sorrows, weal and woe.

I'd never thought that you would leave before me.

Don't be so sad. Where are you coming from?

I am Chen Bang, a fellow villager of Brother Hao.

He wrote me a letter asking me to come and learn business with him.

But I neverthought I would travel such

a long distance for the sake of his funeral.

This is retribution for the evil deeds he has done.

I remember Brother Hao had a few sworn brothers.

How come they are not here?

We were unable to let them know.

Why?

Only his two bodyguards know about them.

They were killed at the same time.

Please tell me, who killed Brother Hao?

It was a man and a woman. But I am not sure where they were from.

The man is a pickpocket.

Pickpocket?

Run!

Get that pickpocket!

Ah Shu I will lure them away. You'd better run.

Alright.

Chase the man that way.

What would you like to order, sir?

I'll give you money. Buy me two set of clothes, and...

Who exactly is this Chen fellow?

We shouldn't have any enemies that young.

Whoever he is, he is a member of their gang.

We have one more powerful enemy.

How did you find this place?

Did you think we wouldn't recognize you just because you changed your clothes?

I can track you to this place.

No matter how tricky you are, you can never get rid of us! Go!

What are you doing?

Now is the time for your penalty. Speak up!

Who hired you to do this? Where is he?

You might as well kill me.

Good! You have guts. I'll ask this old lady.

Beat her up!

Please don't! She knows nothing.

She doesn't know but you do. Beat her!

Wait!

Don't say it, please don't say it!

Oh, you are also brave!

Then, I'll give you something that will really hurt.

Stop it!

I'm the one you're looking for. Let go of those two.

And then you will just escape... You can't fool me!

I'm just an ordinary girl who is completely unarmed.

What are you big men afraid of?

Tell me now! Where is Zhao Cai, Dou Qi and Wen Jiu? Be quick!

Dou Qi is running a brothel in the town of Mei-Long.

What about the other two?

So...

It was you!

What do you mean?

So you really want to ask for trouble? Then, I'll gladly oblige to it.

Come on.

Damn it.

Thank you, elder.

You are welcome, young lady.

I admire you for the way you've dealt with these bandits.

May I have your name please?

I am Yuan Xing. A wanderer in the world of Jiang-hu.

Your kung-fu is very advanced.

I just can't bear unfairness.

Sir, these bandits killed my father. Do you have any advice for me?

My advice doesn't deserve much regard. I have to leave now.

- See you. - See you.

Why does he keep following me like a shadow?

Really strange.

Quickly, master!

This is Dou Qi's brothel.

Jie Lian, you really want to go in?

Godmother.

Please come again when you're free.

The old saying says it well: "How can one obtain tiger cubs

without entering the tiger's lair?" (Nothing ventured, nothing gained)

I just need you to pretend you are selling me to the brothel.

Then I can be one-on-one with Dou Qi tonight.

That's my big chance of taking revenge.

What if they ask you to see guests Before you have a chance to see Dou Qi?

Then, I will be the patron, I won't go in unless it is you.

That way, your safety is guaranteed.

Shut your dirty mouth.

But I have heard that Dou is a lustful guy.

He must try every new prostitute before they serve customers.

That's all?

It's not such a small amount.

I am exhausted after twenty years of raising funds for Officer Chou.

I still haven't got any official post.

What do you mean by saying that?

Officer Chou cooperates with the Sixth Prince for the great plan.

He wanted you all to leave the government

and raise funds through business. Now you're trying to pull back, are you?

You know Officer Chou's temper quite well.

Do you think he would give up just like that?

No, please don't get me wrong. It's been twenty years.

I'll certainly keep trying to raise funds.

Doing so is my gratitude to Sixth Prince and Officer Chou.

I heard about Hao Shi's death, And I am a little worried.

Officer Chou is not worried. What should you be worried about?

Boss, there's a girl outside here to offer herself for prostitution.

Things are quite lively around here.

Who brought her here?

Her mother.

Let me go check the quality of the goods.

Ok.

Please.

Girls from upstairs and downstairs Come and serve the guests.

Hello, boss.

So, is this the girl offering herself for prostitution?

Yes, boss. As you know, taxes are high,

and the harvest is bad this year.

We have no other way to survive, So I had to bring my daughter here.

- How much you want? - Me?

I heard from others they you can get

fifty taels for bringing a daughter here.

Rubbish! This girl is worth 50 taels?

Ten taels is more than enough.

Don't say it like that! If not 50 taels, she should be worth 40 taels, at least...

Stop rattling away! I can only give you 10 taels.

No more, no less.

Take it or leave.

Let's go, Godmother.

Our debt is too high, And 10 taels won't help much.

We'll try another place.

Wait. Wait.

You dislike the offer? We can sit down and discuss the price.

Take a look at this girl. What do you think?

Not bad. She's bound to be a money-making tree one day.

Yes, boss.

Do you want to try her out tonight?

No need to wait till tonight. You can leave now.

Your mom sold you away. How could she forsake you?

Boss.

What is it?

Someone came from the provincial capital is here to see you.

I'm busy right now, tell him wait for me...

He said he has to deliver an important message to you.

I heard you.

Wait for me here, and in a bit I'll take you to a land of bliss.

Although she is a girl, she is well-trained in martial arts.

You should be extra careful.

Why does she want to kill me?

I bet you know that betterthan I do.

She may take action at any moment.

I don't think she is brave enough.

No. That girl is really fierce.

This is what she looks like.

Foster daughter of "A Thousand Hands".

That's her?

Doesn't that look exactly like the girl thatjust came here?

I knew it! She is already here.

Should we gather all the guards...

Don't move, boss!

She did that.

Should we gather all the guards...

It's not a good idea if we go get her now.

It might scare all the customers away.

Have the customers leave one at a time.

Have our guards act as customers.

Yes.

Boss is a careful and far-sighted man who will not make a mistake.

However, as I told you earlier, this woman is an excellent fighter.

I think you better ask for your brothers' help.

Good idea. That's what we'll do.

Hurry up! Go upstairs.

We have all prepared. Any other instruction, Sir?

Great! Deliver this letter to Officer Chou.

- You must keep it confidential. - Yes.

Alright. Don't worry.

Who are you?

Give me that letter.

It's you! You won't get it.

I will never give you this letter, even if you kill me.

Very well! Then I'll take your life!

Alright! I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you.

Damn it.

Don't move.

Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I'll give it to you.

"A Hero will not rob by force or steal by trickery.

Only a bastard would open and read this letter."

I will still escape even if you have an inescapable dragnet.

Why did you kill Hao Shi? What is your angertowards me?

Liu Da Xiong did not have any children. Who are you?

His child is now standing before you!

Miss!

- Young man. - Master Yuan.

Tell Miss Liu to concentrate all the power

of her kicks to aim at the enemy's arms.

She will able to defeat him that way.

Master Yuan said you can defeat him by powerful kicks

aimed at his arms.

Why is he always following me with help?

It's strange. Who is he, really?

That is not Yuan Xing. It is your enemy, Zhao Cai.

Miss!

Miss!

This poison is called "Seven Peak Poison", a terrible poison.

As far as I know, there is only one person

who has the cure for it.

Where does this person live?

There is a doctor who lives hidden in Qifeng (Seven Peak) Mountain.

What is his name?

Nobody knows his real name.

People have named him the Seven-Peak Wanderer.

Who is it?

Sir, please kindly save my daughter. I beseech you to save her life.

She has been poisoned and is at great risk.

You've got the wrong man. I'm no doctor.

If you don't give us the antidote,

I will bend my knees and kneel before you forthe rest of my life.

- Ouch! - Mother!

Oh, my goodness.

Sir, my mother just had a sip of water from the mountains.

The water is poisoned. She is in a lot of pain.

Please save her.

- Please kindly save her life. - I can't take it.

Get a bottle of medicine and give it to her to drink.

Thank you.

Oh, god. I'm dying.

The dark blue bottle, not the light blue bottle.

Hurry.

For mountain water poisoning, you don't need such strong medicine.

This old fellow has no human sympathy, refusing to give out his medicine.

What is so great about him?!

Master, please relax. I've got something for you.

Not bad.

Master, you took it too!

You have your trick, and I have my skills.

I just couldn't sit and wait.

Let's go.

Hua Yan Temple.

Master, let's hurry.

Sir. Your legs are pretty fast.

Still not as quick as your hands.

A man driven to desperation can do anything.

Please kindly let us go.

The three bottles you stole are not antidotes at all.

They are aphrodisiacs, understand?

Tell me, Why are you looking for this antidote?

What exactly are you using it for?

Old Bodhisattva, I have a Goddaughter who is dying from poison.

The poison is known as the "Seven Peak Poison".

Please show your mercy and save her. God have mercy on her soul.

Why was she poisoned by Dou Qi?

Dou Qi killed her father, and she wanted to take revenge.

Then she was poisoned by him.

What's her name? Who is her father?

Her surname is Liu. Jie Lian is her given name.

She is the daughter of General Liu Da Xiong.

Please don't leave, Old Bodhisattva.

Is there anything we did wrong?

What's going on with you, Old Bodhisattva?

Tell me, please. Who are you, really?

I might as well tell you two:

I'm one of the enemies she is looking for.

I'm Wen Jiu.

What? You are Wen Jiu?

My memories of the past are as hazy as the clouds.

It's too late to regret the things I've done.

Feeling regret won't be of much help.

You can make penitence by saving her life.

You are right, Master.

Old Bodhisattva!

Let her sleep for a while now.

Who saved me?

Thank you.

She will be completely cured after she takes this bottle of medicine.

Thank you, Old Bodhisattva.

Oh no! I forgot to leave him some money.

Take this to him.

Dear husband!

We were ordered to kill Liu only.

Who is that?

It's you, Zhao Cai!

What were you doing in Hua Yan Temple?

I saved Miss Liu from poisoning.

Don't poke your nose into other's business.

You! A dog who betray friends for your own benefit.

You made use of Miss Liu's quest for revenge

and killed your friends by her hands.

Is that the only way you can get rewards from Officer Chou?

Rubbish! Still can't keep your mouth shut.

You cold-hearted dog!

Tell Miss Liu that I am the Zhao Cai she has been looking for.

I will be waiting for her at the Zhan-nan government office.

Tell her to come for me!

Zhao Cai is back!

Send him in.

Your Excellency.

You're back. So how was it?

Did you find out who killed Hao Shi and Dou Qi?

Yes. We've found out that it's a girl named Liu.

- A girl? - Yes.

With the martial arts skills of Hao Shi and Dou Qi,

how can they possibly be defeated by a mere girl?

This young girl is not as simple as you think.

I believe her final targets will be you and me.

I ordered you to take charge of this matter.

But you encouraged the assassin instead of apprehending her.

Are you trying to let her off then?

Of course not. I have set up a trap for her

and I'm sure that she will walk right into it.

Handling this girl is not a problem.

The problem is that the Imperial Courts have heard of our plans.

They sent their undercover agents to join us.

We must figure out a solution.

Please don't worry, Your Excellency. I've already found out who they are.

Please convene all the bodyguards that have come since I last left here.

(Hong)

He is the spy sent by the lmperial Court.

Kill him!

You!

You are also a spy from the lmperial Court.

(Chen Bang)

Get rid of him.

It's you.

I used chi-kung to hold onto my life at the

moment you chopped me with your blade.

I faked death in front of them by halting my breath.

They assumed I was dead.

Why did you take the risk?

You should have pretended to die earlier.

I almost got into trouble because of you.

Ifl let myself be easily defeated by you at that time,

it would have aroused their suspicion.

Your injury is not that serious, and should heal soon.

Let me check on their situation. You rest for awhile.

I'll be worried about you, going by yourself...

Don't worry about me.

You came to cause trouble again?

He is not Chou Kui.

A man who dares to rebel won't easily be assassinated by you.

A Rebel?

Right, Chou Kui has conspired for twenty years.

Sixth Prince had committed suicide by slitting his throat

because of his failure.

Chou Kui could not reconcile himself to failure

and tried to stage a comeback.

I am prepared to wipe them out all at once

with the help of the troop.

Your plans for revenge are causing us a lot of trouble.

You've finally said it yourself.

Zhao Cai!

Correct. I'm Zhao Cai, not Yuan Xing.

Brother!

You dog!

You were the murderer 20 years ago.

You still feel no remorse or regret about it!

Sixth Prince has set an example for you, Chou Kui.

You still have a chance to repent. Surrender now.

Nonsense. We still don't know who the victor will be.

General Liu Da Xiong knew too many of our secrets back then,

so I killed him.

You bloody traitor!
