Quick

Move it quickly

Lets' say if one of you had Twin swords and were...

...confronted by this technique what would you do?

Then I would surely die with pierced guts

Master

Follow me

Master, we were lucky to accomplish your mission

Brother Wang gathered the darts and hid the money

Have you seen Lei Li who uses the Twin swords?

Yes. Excels at skills with both the long & short sword

In less than a year...

he has already made a name for himself

But then, his arrogance and inexperience...

will lead him to a trap

You've carried out my instructions

Yes

We've killed Chieftain Ho's brothers and...

sent the bodies back to Yuan Sing Security bureau;

Along with a word that while dying they said...

Lei Li robbed and killed them

Cheiftain Ho had sent Lei Li a letter...

and asked him to meet at the Black Forest

Master, once you show yourself

...he'll never appear in the martial arts world again!

Master, you are number one in the martial arts world

No one can match your fame

I am here. Yet, why the hell be so pusillanimous!

What is it? Speak up

Friend Lei, your skills have rocked the martial world

I little expected you to turn out a robber

...and stoop so low

If you have been robbed and desire to seek my help

I promise I'll get the goods back for you

Two friends brought back our dead brother's body

They said our brother told him before dying...

that the robber used twin swords

So who else could it be?

Nonsense... I'm not responsible for the robbery

I suggest you go look for Cheng Giu

Halt!

I'll teach you a lesson

You are such a pain in the neck

Attack

Lei Li, you robber and plunderer. You...

However reckless, you can't equal my twin swords

Master, some people are fighting over there

Hero Lung

Well well... Chieftain Ho, what's up?

He... he is a robber

You be the judge, Hero Lung

You are still young

Why use your martial art skills

...to commit such vile deeds!

Who are you?

Lung Er Zi

Oh, so it's chivalrous Hero Lung

Your fame precedes you

That's kind of you. And your good name?

Lei Li

Your name is not new to me either

But you haven't been righteous

Considering your age I'm prepared to spare you

...provided you repent your ways

That's sheer nonsense

Or do you refuse to heed my warning?

Let's see how good your skills are

Well... newborn calf not scared of the tiger, huh!

I'm prepared to try out some moves with you

If I lose, I'll cut off my right arm and...

retire from the martial arts world

I'll do the same if I lose

Why come to such an extreme decision?

You are young

lt'd suffice if you just amend your ways

Bull shit

I'll let you attack first

Who are you to decide?

Well... I'll make the first move then

Son, the more experienced the better

I have lost!

Don't attach too much importance to winning and losing

Here is your knife

You may forget what you have promised

A man ought to keep his word

I'll cut off my arm and retreat

The arm shall remain here

...and be a reminder to evil-doers

Don't chase, let him go

I'll make it my responsibility to get back

...your money pouch

Chivalrous Lung, you are a true hero

Today, if it weren't for you...

I'm afraid we'd all be dead

Go back please, everyone

I'll send forth the lost money once I find it

Our sincere gratitude

You're welcome

Please escort chieftain

...and his men back

You two remain here and help me trace the lost goods

Yes

We take your leave

So where have you both...

hidden the money from Yuan Sing security bureau?

Master

Chieftain Ho must announce this matter...

then your fame will be even greater

Yes, it would add to your heroism...

to have rid of an arch enemy

This Lei Li fellow;

A few more years in the martial arts world...

and his fame would have soared higher than yours

Where is the money hidden?

Master, for our hard work

...can we please have it?

No one knows about this anyway

Teacher, we'll do whatever errand you give us

You both are actually trying to coerce me!

No, we don't dare

Master

You should know

Last year I took your two brothers...

to victory against the Bai Fa Swordsman

How come they have never returned, huh?

No idea

You're like them

Master...

We don't dare ask for money anymore

The money is hidden at the Tiger Mansion, we...

Because you have only one arm

I've taken you in out of pity

You must speed up your work

Don't think because it rains there'll be no customer

Go to the kitchen and have the noodles...

ready for serving

I have never come across...

such a silent man!

Lei Li, we have customers

A bottle of wine and a plate of beef, quick

On the double

Boss Li, turn up the lights

When are we going to be served?

You've hired a cripple

A lot of money you'd have saved

Yes

What the heck!

It's been raining heavily these days

Hey, people say you won't speak unless it thunders

Is that true?

If it's like that...

then he should transform into a tortoise

Damn, the table is dirty

Do you take us for fools?

Do it quickly

Boss Li, look

A cripple is useless

He has to remove the plates to wipe the table

Just do it

Just ask your mother to grow you one more arm

Please order whatever you desire

Although he is handicapped

...he is quick and diligent

Brother Lei

I'll do it

Miss, we put it on your father's tab as before, right?

Sure

It's raining heavily, I'll accompany you

Okay

Won't you have a drink with my dad?

Lei Li, you're always being bullied

Like those thugs you also should keep...

a sword at the waist

Maybe they'd lay off then

Dad often remarks that...

you must have known kung fu before

Is that right?

Is it true?

Ba Jiao, you go carefully. I'll head back

Hero Fung

Who are you?

Oh, it's really you, we're saved

Everyone knows that...

your twin swords are matchless

You've detained me just because of this?

Oh no, we're running for our lives

From a distance we saw your gait

...so we ran up to you

We've really met our saviour

Hero Fung, we have been robbed

Please help us

Right

Where?

Just over there at the slope

We fought for our lives and escaped

This is a dangerous road

Yesterday too someone was robbed

It must be done by the men at Tiger Mansion

Yes, Tiger Mansion

Our money has been robbed by Chieftain Chan

Okay, I'm headed towards Tiger Mansion anyway

I'll remember your request

Many thanks

Hey guys!

They didn't say which treasury house!

Never mind, for sure this fellow

...will go to Tiger Mansion anyway

The top guys of Tiger Mansion are at the tavern

Let's go and have a drink

No, teacher has forbidden us

...to consort with their folk

Why is that? Teacher himself...

Shut up and go

Hero Fung will be here soon

We'll be in trouble if he runs into us

Let's go

The wine is good here

Hey, get us another bottle

Be quick

This kid sure has some skills

Yes

You see, a cripple has to think of alternate ways

You needn't speak on his behalf

How long have you been here?

Almost 2 years

You studied martial arts?

Look at me when speaking

Lei Li

Miss Ba, you want to buy wine?

Yes

Let me help you

Miss, he can do it pretty fast

...you needn't show sympathy

You should pity us, we're drinking alone

Why don't you drink with us?

Look, the lad objects to it

Where is she from?

She... she's the daughter of blacksmith Ba

So I see

Pretty girl, we need to have a lot of work done

Please ask your father to come up with you

...to our place

Good food and wine; it'd be real fun with us

What else would you both like?

Damn kid, mind your own business

Gentleman

Please ask the good sir to let him be

Shut up or you'll have a hard time too

Damn, the lady has run away

Now you get her back for me

Do you hear me?

Bastard, you want to be a hero

Be careful, he knows kung fu

You know kung fu? Very well

That's too cautious... here, watch me

Hear that, bastard?

Get the girl back

Didn't you hear?

Hey

I'm here

Please don't bully him anymore

Come, drink with us

You...

Let her go

Let go of her

Who are you?

Just a passer-by

You're the twin-swords hero Fung?

That's right

Listen, brother...

Hurry, let's go

Why didn't you fight back just now?

I don't know what you're talking about

Come out

Who were those two thugs a while back?

They're the top guys at Tiger Mansion

Your swordsmanship is great

Those two fellows...

could also take on many at a time

Who is that one-armed youth?

He is the helper here at Boss Li's eatery

Don't pretend to be a hero

Why don't you just let them have their way?

Look at you now, all beaten up!

I run a small place. Rather not have any trouble

Miss Ba, your dad awaits the wine

You go back

Brother Lei

Please go

I'll come again...

to give you something

My friend, you...

If there's something you need...

please let us know and I'll make it

People say real fighters don't show their strength;

But I don't understand...

I don't know what you're talking about!

Chief

Before Fung comes to Tiger Mansion

...why did you fight with him?

Chief, we didn't want to

He unexpectedly turned up, we had no choice

Look at you nincompoops!

Hero Fung's swordsmanship is exceptional

If he came charging in, I'm afraid...

Give the order to tighten security

Yes

Master Chan, please come in

Yes

Your men had a fight with Fung?

Yes

The two leaders of the Mansion have been wounded

How are their skills?

Reasonably good

According to them Fung's skills are excellent

...and out of this world

Alright, have invitations sent out...

to martial artists within a few hundred miles

Have them all meet at this place

Brother Lung, we must lure Fung here

...to get rid of him

It isn't advisable to leak this out

Oh, come on. I have my own ideas

Have our names on the invitation

Yes

And send one to Fung too

Set the date at five days from now

Those who serve the invitation must be highly skilled

Brother Lung, I still miss the point

Tiger Mansion is mysterious to the outside world

Nobody knows what we have done

I want Fung to come in...

and defeat him in front of everyone;

Thus forcing him out of the martial arts world

A superb plan indeed!

Dad

Yes dear, what is it?

I think you have something on your mind

You approached me so many times

...yet you won't speak up

Dad, don't you have a good sword hidden away?

You said, unless it is a great swordsman...

the sword's power cannot be brought forth

And also that it has a peerless edge

Yes. Why have you brought this up?

I want to give it to Lei Li

Give it to him for what?

He is a good man, but bullied by many

If he had a sword

...it'd perhaps be better

Nonsense

The poor fellow has lost his right arm

Naturally he'd be bullied

Know this, presently he is only pushed around

Say if, how good a sword he may have...

he will surely die by another's sword

He can practice swordplay though; it's better...

he died in a fight than be trampled upon like this

That's utter rubbish

Do you know how I came by that sword?

It was 20 years ago; even before you were born

On an evening just like this

A young hero barged into our place

He had this sword...

and a sword stuck in his guts, bleeding profusely

I hid the sword

Not until much later I found out that...

he was a famous swordsman of the time

Alas... what good did the sword do!

However strong one is, there'd always be one better!

Keep the wind bellows going

Jiao dear, have you gone to bed?

Yes, father

I suggest you go...

to the town and find suitable lodging

What, are you turning me away?

No, it's just that our place is not very appropriate

Mr. Boss

You're wrong there

One's body isn't even 7 ft. Could settle down anywhere

Am I right?

Friends, they say wine makes the heart sadder

But better bend one's conduct than to keep kowtowing

Come, drink with me

Sir, you are drunk

Only a real hero, a brave man

can transcend above everything else, like you

Whyever...

You...

Lei Li, don't offend customers

Lei Li? You are Lei Li?

Lei, my friend

Please don't follow me

Boss Li

Where's that chap...

who wounded some people here?

Is someone looking for me?

What do you want with me?

Fighters within 500 miles...

will meet at the Tiger Mansion in five days

Here is the invitation from Hero Lung

Hero Lung?

Yes, Hero Lung Er Zi

Why would he consort with the folks...

at the Tiger Mansion?

Tiger Mansion is famous

What's so strange about Hero Lung...

having a relationship with Chieftain Chan?

Right, I'm going up there anyway

Let's have the invitation

Come on, what's to fear?

There's a little something I want to know

Yes, please ask

Tiger Mansion is known for heroism & justice;

Yet discreetly indulges in unlawful activity

The 2 recent robberies... who all were involved?

There has been no such incident

Hero Fung, we're here to deliver the invitation

...with good intent. Please don't hurt us

Go tell Chan Chun Nam

I'll be there in 5 days

Ask him to be prepared to greet me

And yes, my regards to Hero Lung

Let's go

Lei Li, Lei Li

Brother Lei

See what I've got for you!

What is it?

A blade... a good sword

Tuck that sword in your waist cloth

Whoever wanting to bully you...

will have second thoughts

Thank you, but I won't use it

I... I can't, please take it back

You are willing to be bullied?

Ba Jiao, you don't understand

It's useless even if I carry it

I did have a sword once, I...

Kindly take it back, I don't want

No, once I've brought it I won't take it back

I'll leave it here. It's up to you if you want it

Ba Jiao!

Truly rare... wonder if I can ever be like him!

Abandoned his twin swords!

This girl is a tender sweetie pie

We both can enjoy her

You're injured more. Naturally I'd go first

Oh, that doesn't matter

Sure

Ba Jiao!

Lei Li, whom are you chasing?

Men from Tiger Mansion

They... they took Ba Jiao

Please don't cry

If Lei Li had not come after you...

you would have ended up at Tiger Mansion

Lei Li?

Yes

I think he wanted to return you the sword

...and saw you were abducted

Why doesn't he want the sword?

You may not understand

Tell me. Perhaps I would

He had great skills before

Maybe even greater than mine

But he was defeated...

and lost an arm

Now he just wishes...

that he'd forget he ever knew Kung Fu

Unknowingly you might have made him suffer more

...by giving him the sword

I see!

Brother Fung

Brother Lei

I am a helper at the tavern

I'd rather not talk about the past

You still treat me as your friend

I treat you as my brother

Brother Fung, come along

I'll cook something delicious for you

Sure

Yes, go ahead, you two... just forget about me!

Come, grab my sleeve

Lei Li, I have never seen you smile

Until noon, there won't be customers

I'll keep you company

Don't mind me, carry on with your work

Lei, the customers are waiting

Brother Lei, I admire you can do that

I simply envy you

Come on, quit kidding

Think I'd joke with someone of your experience?

You had better not go to this meeting...

at Tiger Mansion

I must, I think Hero Lung, too...

has been tricked by those men

I have to reveal their treachery

Hero Lung? Lung Er Zi

I shouldn't have mentioned him

That's fine

I lost to...

his three-sectioned staff

Hero Fung, there is one technique...

specially designed against twin swords

I lost because of this technique. This...

It's okay. You've long stopped thinking about kung fu

I won't fight with him either

So why talk about such things?

Brother Lei, I have decided

I'll retire after this meeting

We'll take up farming at Tai Wu lake

What are you laughing about?

I don't know for sure if Ba Jiao...

will leave her father to go along with you

Don't give up, not everyone knows kung fu

Those who do might not be that much happier

Brother Fung

I haven't been happy this past year

I torture myself daily

Only until now I can realise in my heart...

that I have no more pain

Thank you for coming, we're honoured

- Please - Thanks

Brother Lung

Do you think Fung will come?

He certainly will

I have seen too many of such young heroes

Yes, many of them...

have been defeated by you...

over the years

But brother Lung...

why do you never kill them?

That's why I'm known as Chivalrous hero Lung

Our Jin died at the hands of Fung;

You think that would make him change his mind?

Don't worry

He'll think I'm on his side and that I'm here...

to uphold the justice

Right there and then I'll decide what to do

I'll be back before the sun sets

Brother Fung, if you fight with Lung

...you must guard against that special technique

He is a famous swordsman

Why would I fight with him?

If he is a famous swordsman...

why would he be with the gang of Tiger Mansion?

Most likely he has been deceived

I'll sort it out

Well, I hope so too

Brother Fung, I'll await your return

Right on

That sword is still with me. Please take it back

To take it back in broad daylight...

would get me a good scolding from dad

It's better to leave it with you

Most welcome, Hero Fung

Please

Hero Fung has arrived

Your fame precedes you

It's an honour to meet you in person

You are Chan Chun Nan?

Yes

Where's Hero Lung?

Hero Lung and other heroes...

are waiting in the grand hall

Good. Don't try any moves. Let's proceed there

And you'll receive a fair hearing. Come on

Hero Lung

What is the matter, Chief?

Who is this young man?

This is twin swordsman, our friend Fung

Hero Lung

You flatter me

Why do you have a conflict with Chieftain Chan?

Hero Lung, Folks

I am afraid you've been deceived

Tiger Mansion looks innocent enough

But it is an evil place

Chief, is it like that?

You allege that hero Fung injured or killed your men

What actually happened?

There is no such thing

But it is a fact Fung is the culprit

Fung, my friend

What have they done?

Robbing

Nonsense. What treasury house did I rob?

Exactly

Who did they rob?

One of them is Lin Shing. About the other I'm checking

What? Lin Shing!

Is that the one in Chun Kong county?

Most probably

What a joke!

I'm the chieftain of Lin Shing Security Bureau

Wouldn't I know about robbery at my place?

Hero Lung, you'll be the judge

Fung, what about the other security bureau?

Hero Fung, I'm afraid you're grossly mistaken

You've injured men of Tiger Mansion...

slaughtered them and lied about the incident

If everyone with some martial art skills

...were as outrageous;

What will this world come to?

Oh!

So inviting me here was to teach me a lesson!

No, I was passing by...

and heard of the incident

And since we are all martial artists

I just hope to be an intermediary

You've just arrived and drew a sword at the host

Isn't it out of line?

Goodbye everyone

Hold it!

The so-called leader of Tiger Mansion, Jin Yi

abducted the daughter of...

blacksmith Ba in Ma Chao town

Hero Lung

About this why don't we clarify with Chieftain Chan?

As per our information two of them were going by...

when you suddenly appeared and killed one

You believe him?

Actually speaking I can't believe you

You mentioned two bureaus were robbed

but actually there has been no such case

I understand now. I totally understand, Hero Lung

So you are up to that

Fung, you've recklessly harmed people with your swords

Today, in front of all of us...

You must right this wrong

All along it's me you wanted to pick a fight with

Why bother with this nonsense?

Hand me the weapon

Let's witness the power of your twin swords

...that has made you so reckless

Please make way, everyone

If you promise to amend your ways...

I wouldn't necessarily want to fight you

Save this for after you win the duel

Watch this

This is your special technique

And you can't thwart it

If I had three swords, I could have defeated you

But with just two hands how can you handle three?

Look at you, barging in like this

I almost dropped the egg

Says who? Even with a number of eggs in mid-air

...I'm sure you can still catch them

Let me help you

Hero Fung should have returned by now

There you go again... you're so anxious!

The sun hasn't gone down yet

If you cut your arm and retire from the martial world...

I'll let you out of this place

How many were there before me?

Hero Lung is so merciful, just do it

I... I'll kill him

Chieftain Chan, the matter is out of my hands

The quarrel between you both...

shall be dealt with by yourselves

Sure

Relax, he's been seriously wounded

Everyone, little did we expect this to happen

...and disturb you all

This is not Hero Lung's responsibility

He had already let him go

It was his own fault

He sought his own death

But it could be said he died at my hands

Chieftain Chan, give him a proper burial

Yes

Please go back, gentlemen

My mood is spoilt. I just want to rest a few days

Yes

Lei Li, that twin-swords lad is great

In case if he had a mishap...

what's the use of worrying for him

Go and do your work

Teacher is great

Not only he had the kid buried appropriately

...but also wept at his grave

They all say our Master is such a hero

...and stands tall among men

This is real kung fu

Hey, bring the wine

C'mon, be quick. Stop dreaming

Who are you talking about?

What rubbish! That's none of your concern

I ask who are you talking about?

Speak

It's... about twin-sword Hero Fung

What about him?

He's dead and buried behind Tiger Mansion

This chap has gone nuts

That Fung is a good friend of his

Lei, you are here

Boss Li told me... he said Fung is dead

Why do good men die easily?

Lei Li, speak something

I'll avenge him

How can you...

I have to avenge him

Don't go, please

I must avenge him

Hurry, run!

Where is hero Fung buried?

Take me there

Over there

Attack

Quick... come on, move

Chieftain

What's happening out there?

Someone has stormed the place

...and killed three leaders

Who is it?

Don't know

Who are you?

You go and check what's happening!

Yes

Such swift swordsmanship!

It's him

Lung Er Zi

Lei Li

You've lost your arm, know your place

After that incident I've been humble & law-abiding

But you killed hero Fung; I'm here for revenge

Revenge?

What capability do you have?

Even when you were famous for your twin swords

...you lost to me

How will you avenge him today?

You are rather here to die with him

...and not avenge him

I... I'm here to accompany him in death

Meet your death now

If I had 3 swords I could defeat you

Fung wielded twin swords with both hands

But you could manage three with just one arm!

It's your turn to retire from the martial arts world

Lei Lis
