[Cangzhou]

[Greater China Trading Company]

Stories and dramas persuade the world,

choose the Middle Way when there are three paths.

All deeds come to a karma,

gossips and vanity ends the world.

It was said that the great villain Jin Tian Bao...

slaughtered the whole Bai family.

His martial art skills are unpredictable.

And he has a pair of cruel hands.

A total of 18 lives...

of the poor Bai family were lost.

The large and deep manor of the Bai family...

turns into a living hell.

Jin Tian Bao was like a ghost risen from death,

bringing lives back to the heavens...

with his bloody hands.

[The Master of Baji]

[Zhou Xin Wu, disciple of Fourth Master Li]

For what happens next,

-stay tuned to the next episode! -Excellent!

[Sun Zhan Peng, son of Sun Wan San]

-Nicely said! -Nicely said!

You told a wonderful tale!

Nice narration, sir.

Thank you, mister.

-Greetings, Third Master Huang. -Greetings, Third Master Huang.

[Third Master Huang, Cangzhou City]

Good.

Third Master Huang is indeed our town's most dignified...

and respected man.

[Zhang Wen Qing, disciple of Fourth Master Li]

He gave the storyteller one dollar for a tale.

Zhan Peng's family is rich too! Come, Zhan Peng.

Give him a dollar too!

My father never speaks to Third Master Huang.

We can't learn from him.

-Come, let's go. -Let's go.

Let's go.

-Hey! -He gave one!

-So generous! -Thank you, young master!

Come after me!

[Shuang'er, Zhang Wen Qing's sister]

Don't run!

Say, that Jin Tian Bao...

is such a sinful person.

How can he be at large like this?

If I meet with Jin Tian Bao one day,

I'll subdue him and take him to the police!

A good riddance for us!

Carry on with your big words.

If I meet Jin Tian Bao,

I'll use my Drifting Fist...

and Baji Fist!

Xin Wu, with this Baji Fist Manual...

you bought...

from the painting stall with a few pennies?

What a great bargain!

How nice will it be if I get to learn the Baji Fist.

See?

Another dreamer.

Brother!

About that...

Xin Wu,

let's get serious.

For the birthday banquet tonight...

of Zhan Peng's father,

shouldn't we prepare something?

If you bring only your mouth,

-I'll not let you in! -That's right!

I'm going back for training.

Remember to come tonight!

You two mocked him knowing he has no money!

Wait for me, Brother Zhou!

Hurry, hurry! We're getting late!

Lower your voice.

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

-Zhan Peng! -Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Uncle!

Uncle!

What happened, uncle?

Where's Zhan Peng?

Uncle!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Master.

I found this from Zhan Peng's father,

Sun Wan San's neck.

This needle is coated with poison.

[Fourth Master Li, Zhou Xin Wu's master]

His father's neck was swollen in black.

Impossible.

Could it be...

Him?

Who is that, Master?

Jin...

Tian...

Bao!

Jin Tian Bao?

That Jin Tian Bao...

who slaughtered the whole family of the wealthy Bai Yun Tian...

and disappeared more than ten years ago?

That's right.

This needle...

is Jin Tian Bao's one of a kind hidden weapon,

the Lethal Black Needle.

This needle is extremely poisonous.

The victim struck with the needle will collapse within 15 minutes.

With zero possibilities of survival.

Master.

Have you seen the real looks of Jin Tian Bao?

Those who saw his true looks...

are all dead.

What?

The Sun family was massacred?

Yes, Master.

Besides the missing Young Master Sun, everyone in the whole manor...

were murdered.

Alright.

I know.

-Stand down. -Yes, Master.

Jin Tian Bao?

Seems like I have to visit someone.

[Notice]

The Great Villain Jin Tian Bao showed up again.

He killed the whole family of Sun Wan San for a total of 23 lives.

[Cangzhou]

He robbed plenty of valuables,

which was an ultimate sin to commit.

If anyone caught Jin Tian Bao...

or provided actual clues to the police,

a great reward awaits!

My friend in the police station said...

that Jin Tian Bao might still be here in Cangzhou.

I wish they can catch this madman quickly.

It's easier said than done.

This Jin Tian Bao is hard to track down.

He's full of unpredictable evil skills.

The people in the police station...

-might not be able to catch him. -That makes sense.

What are you talking about?

Go away now! Go away!

Go!

[Jin Tian Bao]

[Missing Person Notice]

-Stand there! -Retreat!

Master!

Kneel.

You caused trouble outside...

and brought them home?

Master, I...

You can't even complete such an easy task.

Why should I pay so much money to hire you all?

If you can't kill Zhou Xin Wu,

I'll hire someone else.

Xin Wu.

I know.

My guidances are limited.

I can't satisfy you anymore.

No, Master!

That's it.

I know as well.

That you've admired the Baji Fist.

I'm not an old-fashioned person.

It's good...

for people to thirst...

for knowledge.

Master.

Do you know Li Shu Wen?

One who kills in one move,

the God Spear, Li Shu Wen?

He never takes any disciple.

I wanted to learn from him before.

But he rejected me.

However,

with a different affinity,

you have a different outcome.

You shall go to him tomorrow.

But Master,

if I call him my master,

wouldn't I be betraying you?

[Li Martial Club]

[I have my arrangements.]

[But to benefit the martial world...]

[and pass over the skills,]

[you have to carry some burden.]

I, Li Shu Wen,

never take any disciple.

You can go back now.

Master, you didn't eat for a day.

I caught a pheasant.

I've cooked it for you.

So fragrant!

I'm full.

[If you don't learn the skills,]

[you basically learn nothing.]

[Though you've learnt martial arts,]

[but you're weak in the basics.]

[Unsteady lower body,]

[fragile upper limbs,]

[and weak waist.]

[Baji Fist is a strong move.]

[If you can't master the basics,]

[your effort will be fruitless.]

[Young man,]

[you're gifted and willing to suffer.]

[You impressed me.]

It's been half a year.

Why can't you find Zhou Xin Wu?

Zhou Xin Wu disappeared...

from the town suddenly without a reason.

We're looking for him in all might.

Besides,

a lot of people are looking for us.

We can't act in public.

Zhou Xin Wu!

Master!

-Master! -Uncle Li!

Shuang'er.

Uncle Huang.

What happened to Uncle Li?

Fourth Master Li...

was murdered.

How can it be?

Where is Brother Zhou?

I heard that Zhou Xin Wu was banished.

His whereabouts is unknown.

Shuang'er.

Hurry home.

A girl like you...

shouldn't be here.

Third Master.

Hold this.

Buy Fourth Master the best coffin.

Use the remainder...

for a grand farewell to Fourth Master.

Learning martial arts...

requires a benevolent heart.

You mustn't have rage.

If not, you'll harm...

everyone and yourself.

Remember that.

Remember.

I heard that something has happened...

in the city of Cangzhou.

It's related to you.

Go down the mountain and have a look.

[Wanted]

The culprit, Zhou Xin Wu,

betrayed his master and ancestors.

He killed Fourth Master Li.

Crucial evidences are found.

He also committed the crime of...

[Cangzhou]

slaughtering the whole Sun family,

He's also related to Jin Tian Bao.

Those who know his whereabouts...

and report to the police...

will receive 15 dollars as a reward.

A whole 15 dollars?

What an evil bandit!

I hear Young Master Sun Zhan Peng...

was his best friend.

He killed his buddy and master for money?

How can a person like this exist?

[Li Martial Club]

Raise your chest! Tuck your tummy!

Go!

Master!

[Uphold ethics for martial arts]

This needle...

is Jin Tian Bao's hidden weapon,

the Lethal Black Needle.

[Jin Tian Bao!]

Gosh!

Shuang'er.

It's really you, Brother Zhou.

Shush!

Where's your brother?

Brother Zhou.

I have no other option.

You left for such a long time.

You didn't leave any trace.

And my brother...

Are you nuts, Zhang Wen Qing?

-You dare to smoke opium? -Xin Wu!

Xin Wu, let me go!

Let me smoke two more times.

Let me smoke two more times.

Shuang'er, what happened?

I don't know.

He told me nothing.

And he's groggy all day long.

Now he's addicted to opium.

A few days ago,

someone from the opium den came.

They said this property...

was mortgaged for opium.

My father...

got so angry.

He passed away a few days ago.

You!

Shuang'er.

Where was my master buried?

Third Master Huang was kind.

A coffin was made for him.

He's buried in the cemetery at the southern part of the city.

[The Tomb of Beloved Master Li Tian Heng]

Brother Zhou.

My brother is addicted to opium.

You're being pursued.

What should we do?

Wait for me.

What?

Where are you going?

Wait till I master the Baji Fist,

I'll come back and avenge them all.

Master.

I've been drifting around outside for my whole life.

Besides, I'm a carefree person.

Therefore I never take any disciple.

Xin Wu.

You're a talent for martial arts.

You have an upright mind.

And you're determined.

You...

passed my evaluation.

But there's one thing...

you should remember.

I...

am not your master.

The two of us...

are just people with affinity...

to the Baji Fist.

You're my master.

I swear...

to practise well.

I'll never embarrass you.

[Baji Fist...]

[is strong.]

[And it needs...]

[to break,]

[to shake...]

[And to push!]

[Baji Fist projects its force from the shoulder,]

[elbow,]

[fist,]

[and the leg.]

[When using its force,

[you must be taut like a drawn bow.]

[Send blows like thunder.]

[Merge your stance with your mind.]

[Be quick as lightning.]

[Emphasize on your strength.]

[Fists like meteors.]

[Eyes like electricity.]

[Waist like a serpent.]

[Feet like drills.]

[Keep your tailbone aligned for the energy to flow in you.]

[Connect your whole body in strong and soft circles.]

[Loosen up your body but solidify your spirit.]

[Your body will be light and agile if you feel light-headed.]

[The Yin and Yang change swiftly.]

[The source of life is in the region of the waist.]

The Tie Shan Kao is indeed formidable.

Thank you, Master.

Martial arts...

can be used to kill people.

But if you can't master it,

you'll be killed.

Yes, Master.

Master, let's have a spear fight today.

Master?

Master!

[For Xin Wu]

[Tao Te Ching]

[Xin Wu.]

[I've taught you the entirety of the Baji Fist.]

[The master teaches the trade,]

[but the apprentice's skill is self-made.]

[From today onwards,]

[if you want to excel in your skills,]

[you'll have to practise on your own.]

[You're a honest person.]

[But you're inexperienced.]

[You can't see through people's mind.]

[The Tao Te Ching on the table,]

[do read more about it.]

[A martial artist...]

[must have a great vision.]

[A broad mind.]

[A great goal.]

[So that one can earn credits,]

[make a promise,]

[and shape one's personality.]

[Remember.]

I'll remember...

your guidance, Master.

I have to avenge...

for my dear friend.

The great villain Jin Tian Bao...

must also be killed.

I'll kill Jin Tian Bao...

and return peace...

to the Cangzhou people.

[Cangzhou]

Let me go!

Brother!

Let go of me!

Stay still!

Stay still!

-Brother Zhou! -Let her go.

I'll kill her if you come closer!

Who are you?

Zhang Wen Qing owed the opium den 20 dollars.

If you want her to be safe,

give us 20 dollars!

One more thing.

Hurry and take Zhang Wen Qing away!

If he stays,

we'll show him what we got!

Let's go!

Let's go!

I'm going to save my sister...

How can you save her like this?

You have to be tied up...

if you can't quit from opium!

Stay still right here!

I'll find a way to redeem Shuang'er back.

Who are you guys?

Why do you want to kill me?

We're hired to do the deed.

Every debt has its debtor.

I'm not hurting the innocent.

Ask your hirer to meet me.

Hurry and leave!

Let's go.

Zhan Peng?

Is it you, Zhan Peng?

Wen Qing.

You're still alive.

Zhan Peng.

You're really alive!

Your face...

Of course I'm alive!

You wanted me dead.

But I have a strong life, so I didn't die.

What do you mean by that, Zhan Peng?

Look at the moment!

You're still unwilling to show your true nature.

Good brother?

A good brother who killed my entire family!

Impossible!

Are you out of your mind, Zhan Peng?

I am.

From that night onwards.

Grandfather!

Who is that?

Zhan Peng!

[The Manual of the Drifting Fist]

What do you have to say?

Isn't that Drifting Fist Manual...

yours?

Zhan Peng.

When your family was murdered,

I haven't left my house.

Besides, how can I manage to kill everyone?

We were all poisoned when you arrived that night.

We couldn't even move.

You were late that night because you poisoned us, right?

And perhaps Fourth Master Li...

Fourth Master Li found out that you're the murderer,

so you assassinated him.

Then tell me what's my motive.

Didn't you always admire...

-us rich young masters? -Sun Zhan Peng!

I, Zhou Xin Wu, am frank and forthright.

I never did anything against reason and nature.

The villain who slaughtered your family...

was Jin Tian Bao!

This is his unique hidden weapon, the Lethal Black Needle.

My Master, Fourth Master Li,

was also killed by Jin Tian Bao.

I found this needle at home.

I, Zhou Xin Wu, swear.

I'll find Jin Tian Bao...

and avenge your family!

I don't care about Jin Tian Bao...

or the Lethal Black Needle.

I trust what I saw. Hand over your life!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhou Xin Wu!

If you spare me today,

I'll kill you after this!

Zhan Peng!

Wen Qing.

Were you suspicious of me?

That day,

we were both at the scene.

The tracks...

and the steps...

are all like yours.

I even think that...

you followed me to the banquet...

after you killed them all.

So that I...

can be your alibi.

So, you were so depressed that...

you took opium to relieve yourself?

Am I right?

I...

[Jin Tian Bao!]

[After I save Shuang'er,]

[I'll come for you!]

Sir, I want pawn everything here.

A dollar...

for all these?

I want twenty.

Twenty dollars?

I counted extra for you...

to have this one dollar.

Saw that?

It's from Song Dynasty.

If you have something like this,

I'll give you 50 dollars.

Zhan Peng.

Your family is so rich.

Isn't this ugly vase...

pretty low class?

Ugly vase?

My father spent 100 dollars for it!

It's from the Song Dynasty.

Sir, who pawned that vase?

This...

It's been a long time, so I forgot about it.

We have so many patrons every day, how can we remember?

-I can't remember. -Sir.

Please think closely.

I'll give you this dollar.

I really don't remember.

I forgot.

Have you heard?

Third Master Huang of Juying Martial Club...

is having a championship.

If anyone can win this Noshiri Kumaji,

there's a 20 dollars prize to be won!

How much was it?

Twenty!

Twenty dollars?

Say, I have such a small business...

and I barely earn a dollar a year.

Why didn't I practise martial arts?

[Juying Martial Club]

Come.

I'll kill you.

-Go up! -Go up!

Kill him!

Kill him!

-Beat him up! -Kill him!

Listen.

This land belongs to China.

You have no place to act rudely here, foreigner.

How dare you insult a Great Japan samurai?

Then I'll beat you up till your Emperor...

can't even recognize you.

Good!

-Good! -Show him some colours!

-Good! -Show him what you got!

Great! Nice fight!

Baji Fist!

Zhou...

Zhao Xin Wu!

Thank you, everyone!

Xin Wu.

Sharp, Third Master Huang.

You know it was me...

and you didn't report me.

You believe that I didn't kill my master.

Thank you for your understanding.

Xin Wu.

I know your character.

Only foolish people will believe that you did it.

Here is 30 dollars.

Third Master Huang, isn't it 20 dollars?

Have you made a mistake?

Xin Wu.

I was named Third Master Huang...

because of the city folks' favour.

If you call me that way,

I don't feel really comfortable.

Let's do it this way.

Just call me Uncle Huang.

Uncle Huang.

Good, good!

Have a seat, my good nephew.

Xin Wu.

I have a presumptuous request for you.

You're now accomplished with good skills.

Why don't you join my martial club...

and teach Baji Fist?

The extra ten dollars...

can be counted as my token of appointment.

Besides,

I can guarantee you.

If you join me,

I'll use what I have...

to clear your name.

Thanks for the favour, Uncle Huang.

But I merely graduated for a while.

I'm not so well-versed in Baji Fist.

I can't be a teacher. Besides,

without Master's consent,

I can't teach Baji Fist...

to anyone else.

Don't rush over it.

Xin Wu.

You're desperate for money now.

Hold this first.

My Juying Martial Club...

will open the doors for you anytime.

Thank you, Uncle Huang.

Your kindness...

shall be returned.

I have something on.

I'll pay you a visit next time.

Sure, my good nephew.

Go get busy.

Then, Uncle Huang.

I shall take my leave.

By the way, Uncle Huang.

Do take care of your health.

Compared to days before,

you looked slimmer.

Really?

Sure!

My good nephew.

Take care.

This is your first time, mister?

Hurry inside!

I'm here to redeem someone.

Here's 20 dollars. Where's Shuang'er?

I want 50 dollars now.

What?

We have to count the interest too, right?

I only have thirty of them.

Just tell me.

Are you letting her go, or not?

I'll tell you.

No if you can't give me fifty.

Anyone!

Beat him up!

Spare me, mister!

I'm being ignorant.

Enough of the nonsense. Take me to Shuang'er.

Alright!

Shuang'er!

Brother Zhou.

Brother Zhou.

It's fine, Shuang'er.

I'll take you home.

Alright.

How many families...

did the opium caused...

to be reduced to poverty and ruined their lives?

Wait for me, Shuang'er.

You can't burn them!

Don't burn them!

Save them!

Yes!

If your opium den...

sell harmful things like this again,

I'll burn them every time I see them!

Let's go!

Hurry and tell Big Boss!

We must show this kid some manners!

Yes!

Xin Wu.

My sister is coming back.

I'm such a shame.

Do you have shame when you're smoking opium?

Brother Zhou!

What's the matter, Shuang'er?

Brother Zhou.

You must leave now!

Calm down, Shuang'er.

What happened?

I was buying groceries.

Someone said that...

the opium den reported you to the magistrate.

And the guy you defeated from the match.

The guy named Noshiri Kumaji?

He died shortly after he was down.

They said you killed him with brute force.

The police are hunting for you now! Leave!

How could that be?

I didn't hit his vitals.

Don't mind about that.

Hurry and run.

No way.

What happens to you two if I leave?

The opium den won't let you two off easily.

Never mind. Follow me.

Be gentle, Zhou Xin Wu!

Why don't you throw me to death?

Where are we, Brother Zhou?

This is where I learnt Baji Fist...

from Master Li Shu Wen.

I think no one knows about this place.

There's half a sack of rice here.

In the backyard,

we've grown some vegetables.

You two...

shall stay here nicely.

I found some clues about Jin Tian Bao.

I intend to return to town and investigate.

Release me. I'll follow you.

I have to take care of you if you go with me.

Brother Zhou.

The whole city is hunting you.

It's too dangerous for you to return.

Some matters...

must be ended by me.

[How can his lips turn black...]

[if he died from internal injuries?]

[He was obviously poisoned.]

Mister.

Do you remember me?

Please spare my life, good man!

That vase...

That was Huang...

Third Master Huang's servant came to pawn it off.

You mean Third Master Huang of Juying Martial Club?

That's the story.

That Third Master Huang...

must be the great villain, Jin Tian Bao.

I'll go to the Huang Residence...

and meet Third Master Huang tomorrow.

Don't persuade me.

A true man...

will never hide...

if something happens.

I'll quit.

I'll quit opium.

[Brother Zhou.]

[I know I can't persuade you.]

[You must be careful.]

[You must come back safely.]

Brother?

Grandfather.

I'll definitely kill Zhou Xin Wu.

I'll avenge the Sun family myself.

Wen Qing?

Master.

We searched the whole town.

Zhou Xin Wu...

might have hidden himself elsewhere.

Master, why don't we tip Zhou Xin Wu off...

to the police when we find him?

We'll make use of them to get rid of him.

-No need. -But why?

He smashed our opium den and burnt our opium!

He even said if we continue to sell them,

he'll burn every time he sees!

Master, he broke the chains of our income!

Lower your voice.

Do you want everyone to know...

that I'm the mastermind of the opium den?

Zhou Xin Wu...

I can handle him myself.

Just find him.

I've admired Baji Fist...

for a long time.

But that old fox Li Shu Wen refused to teach me.

If Zhou Xin Wu is willing to teach me,

and follows my lead,

I'll spare his life.

Zhan Peng, are you nuts or did your brain crashed?

How can you be so sure that...

Zhou Xin Wu killed your family?

I saw him myself!

Saw him yourself?

Didn't the murderer cover his face?

Just because he looks like Xin Wu,

or he used the Drifting Fist,

you pinned such a great crime onto Xin Wu?

He even took away his Drifting Fist manual!

Let me ask you, what if the murderer intended to frame him?

Impossible!

Zhan Peng.

You're blinded by vengeance!

You're prejudiced to think that Xin Wu is the murderer.

We grew up together.

Think about it.

Will Xin Wu kill your family...

just for money?

Xin Wu found the culprit.

I'll take you there right away.

What great mood, Third Master Huang.

Won't you give me a cup too?

Xin Wu.

Why did you return?

The police are hunting for you in town.

Here, have a seat.

Should I call you Third Master Huang,

or Jin Tian Bao?

Xin Wu, what's the matter?

Don't you know who Uncle Huang is?

Third Master Huang.

I found a vase...

lost from the Sun family...

in a pawnshop.

Your servant was responsible to pawn it.

My servant?

You should ask him then.

I found this on Noshiri Kumaji's body.

Your hidden weapon.

You should recognize it.

This belongs to Jin Tian Bao.

How can it be mine?

You have such clever words.

This...

is undeniable from you, right?

This is your personal accessory.

How can it be in the hands of the dead Noshiri Kumaji?

Jin Tian Bao.

You committed murder and robbery.

You did monstrous crimes.

Selling opium to poison the people,

killing my friend's family,

and killing my master.

Today,

I'll get rid of you for good.

By yourself?

You want to get rid of me?

Today,

perhaps you can leave here alive...

if I'm in a good mood.

Zhan Peng? Wen Qing?

Why are you two here?

Xin Wu, I'm sorry.

I...

Stop being sentimental.

We'll calculate the scores after this.

Right.

Let's avenge the Sun family and Fourth Master Li first.

You three want to avenge the Sun family and Fourth Master Li?

Three ignorant babies.

The three of you...

shall not leave this place alive.

Before you three meet your end,

let me tell you three a martial world secret.

The truth is, Jin Tian Bao...

is not a person.

Your father, Sun Wan San.

Your master, Fourth Master Li.

And me.

We're all Jin Tian Bao.

Jin Tian Bao is just a code name.

Nonsense!

Enough.

You want revenge?

Just come at me!

Xin Wu!

Xin Wu!

Xin Wu, come back!

I want revenge!

Let's go!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Go!

Zhan Peng.

Hang on, Zhan Peng.

Hang on there.

Zhan Peng.

Zhan Peng.

Here.

-Zhan Peng. -Zhan Peng.

Xin Wu...

I'm sorry.

I'll hold you up, Zhan Peng.

I'll take you to a physician.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

-I'm listening. -I know I'm going to die.

But I'm happy today.

I'm happy...

that you're not a murderer.

I'm happy...

-that we're still brothers. -Zhan Peng.

We're always brothers.

Listen to my advice.

Don't look for Third Master Huang again.

Don't sacrifice yourselves in vain.

Zhan Peng...

Zhan Peng.

-Zhan Peng. -Zhan Peng!

-Zhan Peng! -Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

-Zhan Peng! -Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

Zhan Peng!

[The Tomb of Sun Zhan Peng]

Zhan Peng.

I promise you.

I'll definitely quit opium.

I'll live like a human again.

If I can't make it,

I'll come to your tombstone...

and end my life here.

Xin Wu.

It's ladylike to have a hunger strike.

How do you avenge Zhan Peng if you collapse?

Brother!

[Yes.]

[I have some vengeance to solve.]

[It's a bloody feud.]

"All things under heaven sprang from it as existing,"

"that existence sprang from it as non-existent."

"The movement of Tao by contraries proceeds,"

[Tao Te Ching]

"and weakness marks the course of Tao's mighty deeds."

The movement of Tao by contraries proceeds,

and weakness marks the course of Tao's mighty deeds?

Brother, where is Brother Zhou?

"Stretch a bow to the fullest, wishing you stop in time."

"Temper a sword-edge to the sharpest, and find it soon grows dull."

Temper the sword sharp,

and find it soon grows dull?

"Baji Fist is strong."

"But it'll break if it's too strong."

I have to show its strength and hide its weakness.

I understand your intention now, Master.

Thank you, Shuang'er.

[Be obstinate in one's notions.]

[Pugilistic art contains plenty ways.]

[The law of heaven and earth.]

[The law of nature.]

[Merging pugilistic arts...]

[merges the yin and yang.]

That's nice.

How's it? You don't know?

I'm second in martial arts,

-first in cooking. -That's it.

-Let's eat. -Sure.

Xin Wu.

I've quit opium.

I'll never smoke it again.

That's great.

But I have a new problem now.

It's time for my sister...

to get married.

Yes.

Get married.

I'm frustrated.

Xin Wu.

What do you think about my sister,

Shuang'er?

Shuang'er?

-She's nice. -Nice, right?

Nice, Shuang'er! See?

He said you're nice, Shuang'er.

Then let's talk more about Shuang'er,

right?

I'm sleepy.

Xin Wu?

Xin Wu?

Xin Wu?

[I've not taken the revenge.]

[I have no time for personal relationships.]

[Shuang'er,]

[I'm sorry.]

[I know as well...]

[that you admired Baji Fist.]

[I'm not an old-fashioned person.]

[My guidances are limited.]

[Li Martial Club]

[I can't satisfy you anymore.]

[I've admired Baji Fist for a long time.]

[But that old fox Li Shu Wen refused to teach me.]

[I wanted to learn from him before.]

[But he rejected me.]

Master?

Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou.

You played every part of them.

It's a pity that...

you didn't act in plays.

Today,

I'll tell you...

what exactly happened.

Jin Tian Bao was created by Third Master Huang,

Sun Wan San and me.

Ten years ago,

we killed the entire household of the wealthy man, Bai Yun Tian.

We took 18 lives and plenty of fortune.

But,

the two jerks,

Huang San and Sun Wan San,

wanted to take my life.

We shared the fortune together.

But I was assaulted and got injured.

I fought to run away.

Though I was able to walk...

in two years' time, but...

I lost all my internal energy.

Martial arts without internal energy turned me into a simple decoration.

I can only earn a living by taking in some students.

It took me ten years.

Ten years!

That I recover my internal energy.

With all that money,

their family prospered.

They remained ignorant about me teaching martial arts,

thinking that I'd be grateful if they gave me some sustenance.

But I hate them.

They deserve to die.

They got married and had kids.

But I'm all alone.

They caused me this!

So I...

killed them one by one.

Then,

I disguised myself...

as the respected Third Master Huang.

All fortune...

belongs to me.

This whole household belongs to me!

And no one suspect me.

Are you pleased...

with this answer?

You killed Sun Wan San.

Third Master Huang went to you.

You took the chance to kill him.

You...

-You! -That's why I found the poisoned needle.

You disguised yourself and lied to everyone.

You even lied to the police.

Everyone is gullible.

But the drug testing police were not easy to fool over.

However,

everything can be done...

with a mere 20 dollars.

You pushed all the blame onto me.

Then why did you send me to learn Baji Fist?

Xin Wu.

You're a born talent.

You're filial too.

By driving you to a corner,

you'll strive hard...

and master Baji Fist.

Then I can walk past Li Shu Wen...

and learn this unique skill. Then,

I can do better in my opium business.

Besides,

I have to banish you from my wing...

to make people believe that...

you killed me...

in spite of anger.

But...

all of these injustices...

can be wiped clean.

As long as you heed my word...

and listen to my orders.

Master.

The opium den...

This property...

Baji Fist...

Are all these...

so important to you?

Those who block my path to wealth...

shall die.

So this is how...

the Baji Fist is.

My disciple.

I...

shall send you to the elysium today.

Xin Wu.

I've lost.

For the sake of our mentorship,

end my life quickly.

Don't let me...

suffer any longer.

So what if you have learnt the Baji Fist?

In front of a veteran like me,

you're just an amateur.

[Tao Te Ching]

If someone is blinded by...

money and vengeance,

he'll lose plenty of valuable things.

These things...

can never be exchanged with money.

-Xin Wu! -Brother Zhou!

Are you hurt?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Master.

This is the last time I'm calling you my master.

Though I hate you,

but you taught me martial arts.

I'll never forget your guidance.

[The Manual of the Drifting Fist]

Xin Wu.

This is for you.

[The Manual of the Drifting Fist]

In this life of mine,

perhaps...

I'll have a Grand Master as a disciple.

Go!

Stories and dramas persuade the world,

choose the Middle Way when there are three paths.

All deeds come to a karma,

gossips and vanity ends the world.

From the previous episode,

after Zhou Xin Wu defeated the great bandit Jin Tian Bao,

he dived into research of the Baji Fist...

and brought honour to the traditional martial arts.

Good!

[Taoism...]

[and his actual experiences was merged into one.]

[It then shaped into a unique skill,]

[namely the Zhou Baji Fist.]

[It was widely imparted to his disciples.]

[Hence forming a complete system in pugilistic art.]

[It made the Zhou Baji Fist's content,]

[training method,]

[works,]

[utilization and style...]

[unique in its own way.]

[Zhou Xin Wu eventually became...]

[a Grand Master.]
