Before hero Guo Jing
died in the battle at Xiangyang,
he forged the fabled Darksteel Sword belonging to the Condor Hero, Yang Guo,
into two weapons,
namely the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber.
Thereafter,
the battles for those weapons
created much bloodshed in the martial world.
Ming Sect's Golden Haired Lion King, Xie Xun, had the Dragon Saber,
but his senior Cheng Kun, in trying to steal it,
killed over 100 kung fu experts from the Six Major Sects,
then framed and blinded him.
Fortunately, Xie Xun's best friend, Zhang Cuishan of Wudang, rescued him.
Together with his lover, Yin Susu,
they escaped with Xie Xun to Ice Fire Island
to avoid the martial world's fury.
There, Zhang Cuishan and his wife had a son,
who was named Zhang Wuji.
The martial world's sovereign
is the Dragon Saber.
It commands all.
No one dares disobey.
Without the Heavenly Sword,
no one can challenge it.
It is said
that within these two weapons,
a critical secret is hidden.
Whoever possesses them
will reign in the martial world.
Father.
Mother.
With your wisdom,
haven't you found the secret?
This secret
must be kept hidden
or the martial world
will get into a crippling disaster.
Our son is grown.
It's time to take him back to the Central Plains.
-Xie Xun. -Godfather.
Wuji is already 15 years old.
My master, Zhang Sanfeng, will be celebrating his birthday very soon.
I want to take Wuji to Wudang for a visit.
After all, since his birth,
he has never left Ice Fire Island,
nor met other people.
I think
this will be good for him.
Cuishan.
Everyone in the martial world
knows of our relationship.
Be very careful.
We'll reach Mount Wudang tomorrow.
It's good to take Wuji on this trip.
It's not fair to keep him
on the island.
Mother.
Wake up, Mother.
Don't cry.
What's wrong with your mother?
She passed out
and won't wake up.
Mother.
May I give you something?
I want you to have it.
Thank you.
Mother.
Wake up.
Mother, you're awake.
Mother.
Wudang token
Mother.
You're badly hurt.
Here.
Come.
Put on your headscarf.
Let's go, Mother.
-Come on. Your mother will be all right. -Where to?
-Come with me. -Mother.
-Zhiruo. -Mother.
Mother!
Miejue
Master.
Zhang Cuishan
and Yin Susu are here.
Your hard work has earned my forgiveness.
Your sins of giving birth out of wedlock are forgiven.
Thank you, Master.
I will take good care of your daughter, Zhiruo.
Go in peace.
Mount Wudang
I, Zhang Sanfeng,
am celebrating my 100th birthday.
Please bless me,
so I won't have to fight anymore.
Mother, why did they all come to look for Father?
Their excuse is to even the score
with your father,
but actually, they're all after your godfather's Dragon Saber.
You came all the way
over mountains and hills.
Welcome.
All these people
have come to Wudang
to celebrate
my birthday.
Since you came
all the way here,
you must be hungry.
Why don't you spend some time in Mount Wudang
and have a late-night snack and chat?
So you are afraid now.
Have Zhang Cuishan tell us where Xie Xun is
and it will be over.
Tell us now.
Xie Xun was framed.
Cheng Kun is the real culprit.
You pride yourselves on being the righteous clan.
You say you want revenge,
but all you really want is to seize the Dragon Saber.
Xie Xun and Yin Susu
are the hall master and witch of the evil cult.
Your relationship with them
has tainted the reputation of all Six Sects.
Today,
you're given a chance to repent.
Tell us where Xie Xun is
and divorce the witch Yin Susu.
Perhaps
we'll consider forgiving you.
Which one of you is qualified to talk about right and wrong?
Cuishan.
Be kind when you speak. Don't be too hard on others.
Master Zhang,
you're harboring Zhang Cuishan.
Weapons do not bring luck.
Miejue, I've known you since you were a child.
I know your temper.
I turned 100 years old today.
Give me a break.
Be forgiving.
At least act like it.
However,
if you really choose to be unreasonable
and insist
on teaching me a few moves,
I'm happy to oblige.
Xuanming Duo
Who are you?
If you want to do good for yourself,
just come with us.
Wuji, run!
Mother!
-Mother! -Go!
Come down!
Xuanming Divine Palm?
My brother!
Let go of my brother!
Otherwise,
I'll twist off his head.
Wuji...
Hey.
Let's go.
Grandmaster, I feel so cold.
Wuji.
Wuji...
You call yourselves
the righteous clans!
Wuji.
They've been hit
by the Xuanming Divine Palm.
Master.
I don't want Wudang to take the blame.
I will face this alone.
I can never repay you
for all you have taught me.
Please promise me one thing.
Take care of Susu
and Wuji.
Father!
Grandmaster.
I, Zhang Cuishan,
officially leave Wudang today.
Those of you who want to hunt down Xie Xun for revenge,
do it now.
-My fellow brothers, don't try to help me. -Cuishan!
Go.
Don't be distracted.
The Heavenly Sword.
Master.
-Cuishan! -Father!
-Master. -Master.
Let go!
Father!
Father.
-Cuishan. -Father!
Cuishan.
Father.
Hereafter,
live on and be well.
Don't avenge me.
If the Heavenly Sword
remains in the possession of people like you,
countless innocents will be harmed.
To give a face
to your grandmaster,
the heroine Guo Xiang,
I will spare you today.
Get out!
All of you, get out!
Master.
How is Wuji's injury?
Unfortunately,
I'm only 20 to 30% proficient
in the Great Yang Stance.
Back then, I mistakenly copied
a scripture at Shaolin Temple's scripture library
for my master,
known as Lengqie Mantra.
Lengqie Mantra
is the mental essence
of the Great Yang Stance.
Shaolin accused us of stealing their kung fu.
They ran us out as traitors.
Before my master died,
he made me swear
that no Wudang disciple
shall learn Lengqie Mantra.
Only by learning the completed Great Yang Stance
can Wuji be saved.
But Lengqie Mantra is in Shaolin.
What can we do?
Let me think.
Wuji.
Yes.
This is the scripture library.
No one may enter.
You and your mother
may recuperate here.
Yes, Grandmaster.
Read some scriptures
and tidy them up for me.
At the bell,
go to the dining hall.
Grandmaster!
Lengqie Mantra
Lankavatara-sutra
Grandmaster said
Wudang disciples are not allowed to read this.
But I'm not a Wudang disciple.
Looking for a seat? Sit here with me.
Come over here.
Sit.
Song Qingshu
You piece of trash.
You wasted Grandmaster's energy
and now you're grabbing a free meal?
If I were you,
I'd rather scuttle out of here as far away as possible,
then curl up and die in a cave
than embarrass everyone.
Who are you?
Me?
I am your father.
Wuji.
Come here.
Don't argue with your seniors.
Let's go.
You and your mother should get way out of here.
Stop freeloading in Wudang.
Go back to your mother's evil cult.
After all,
she's a witch.
That makes you a witch's seed.
You can bad-mouth me,
but don't bad-mouth my mother!
So what if we do?
Stop fighting.
-Stop fighting! -Wuji!
Stop.
Stop it!
Mother!
Stop fighting!
Seven-Wound Punch!
Mother, let's go.
Are you all right?
-Master. -Master.
There's some bad news.
-Has the chill toxin hit again? -No.
He was in the dining hall
and he wounded all the third generation disciples,
including Qingshu.
The kung fu he used
was Xie Xun's
Seven-Wound Punch.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
Wuji.
-Come here. -Mother.
Mother.
I won't make it back to the Island with you.
That's not true.
You will make it back with me.
Remember to give
the Lengqie Mantra to your godfather.
With his intelligence,
he will figure it out.
When that happens,
the chill toxin in your body will be cured.
When I have mastered the skill,
I will avenge you both.
No.
Do not think of revenge
or that cycle will never end.
Remember.
What others call
evil cult or witchcraft
may not be true.
Even in the so-called upright and respectable sects,
there are despicable people.
You must see clearly.
You...
You must remember that.
Mother.
Mother!
Mother.
Wuji returned alone to Ice Fire Island
and under Xie Xun's guidance,
he found, between the lines of Lengqie Mantra,
were the principles of the Great Yang Stance.
After practicing for about six months,
Wuji is cured of all his chill toxins.
But to master the Great Yang Stance,
he practiced for a further 16 years
to attain ultimate power.
He decided to return to the Central Plains
to avenge his parents.
Seventeen years later
Back then,
we, as the Five Major Sects, went to Wudang
to ask Zhang Cuishan and his wife for that person.
He refused
but couldn't live with it and killed himself.
What about Yin Susu?
She was even more absurd.
She wanted to come with us to Huashan
and be our wife.
Hearing that, I slapped her.
She was such a shameless woman.
Then she killed herself.
So this time,
the four hall masters of the evil sect and the Left and Right Emissaries
must give in and kowtow to you.
Of course.
And if the kowtows aren't loud enough,
I may not let him go.
-Who was that? -Who?
How dare you bully us, the Huashan Elders?
Who is it?
Who was it?
-Come out! -Come out!
How dare you insult the Wudang Hero, Zhang Cuishan,
and daughter of the Eagle King?
All I did was throw eggs and tomatoes at you.
I consider that very polite already.
Little girl,
are you with the Ming Sect?
I am the one
who will soon make you kowtow soon.
I'm Left Emissary of the Ming Sect,
Yang Xiao's
youngest and most useless servant.
You two fatties, didn't you claim your kung fu is awesome?
If you could catch me, then your kung fu is really awesome.
-Go after her! -Yes.
-Go! -Go!
This way.
Over there.
Who is that?
Who are you?
Why did you suddenly
show up to rescue me?
You're just a servant of the Ming Sect. Why act on a rash impulse?
You know you are outnumbered,
so why did you still agitate the Huashan Elders?
They were speaking ill of Ms. Yin.
She may be dead, but they were making up stories about her.
That is unacceptable.
You work for Yang Xiao, Ming Sect's Left Emissary?
I'm just his youngest,
most useless servant.
Hurry back to Ming Sect.
If you meet others from the Six Major Sects,
you'll be brought in for interrogation.
I must fulfill my mission
before I go back.
What must you do?
You're such a strange person.
Do you think just because you saved my life,
you can ask me anything?
I don't even know your name.
I'm Zeng A'niu. You?
I'm Xiao Zhao.
Since you saved me,
have a candy.
Here.
Thank you.
What kind of person can get the Xuanming Duo to be his guard?
Zeng A'niu, we'll meet again.
You've worked for my father for over a decade,
vowed to get him the Dragon Saber and the Heavenly Sword,
unify the martial world,
and destroy all anti-imperial forces.
You do have some guts.
These few years...
Down there are all top-notch kung fu masters.
-I've got the Six Sects to obey me. -Get out.
It's you again.
The coordinated attack on Ming Sect has been planned for three years.
In recent years, the Ming Sect has been the biggest imperial rebel.
I tried to foment dispute between the Six Major Sects and Ming Sect,
causing casualties on both sides.
Then we can break them one by one
and the deed will be done.
You've been working undercover in Shaolin for ten years.
Have you stolen the Indestructible Vajra
which is supposed to be the top of the 72 Invincible Skills?
Your Highness, I will try my best.
Trying your best is useless.
I want to win!
Understood.
Good.
Get out.
Did you hear that?
I knew it.
-I want them alive. -Yes.
Beat him up, Zeng A'niu!
Give him a good beating.
This kid
has incredible internal power.
Young hero,
are you with the Ming Sect
or the Six Major Sects?
So the decade-long conflicts in the martial world
are all your doing.
Your Highness,
this brat must die.
Your Highness!
Leave, all of you!
-Yes. -Yes.
This hero will not harm me.
How did you know
I would catch your little girlfriend
and not kill her?
You're not evil.
Me being evil or not
is not up to you.
You may take your little girlfriend now.
She has been hit by Xuanming Divine Palm.
Enjoy your final moments together.
Go after them!
Don't bother.
Your Highness.
He is a martial arts master.
He is likely to ruin our plans.
Are you able to kill him?
I have my ideas.
Benny.
What are you thinking?
Why do you call me Benny?
You saved my life.
I was going
to call you Benefactor,
but that
sounds a bit old.
Benny seems appropriate.
Don't talk so much.
You've been hit by Xuanming Divine Palms.
Let's go to Ming Sect.
It's the safest place.
And we must tell
Left Emissary Yang about the bad guys' schemes.
Go to Ming Sect.
Only those in the Ming Sect can defend against the Six Major Sects.
I'm...
I am so cold.
Is your sister ill?
My sister?
We're rushing back to our home village to have her cured.
May I give you something?
Thank you.
Miss.
The gem on your belt...
You mean this?
This piece of amber
was given to me by a boy
when I was a child.
-Careful. -Be careful.
We're heading towards Ming Sect.
Where are you headed?
We're going to the base of Ming Sect.
That's on our way.
You can share our carriage and travel with us.
Wonderful. Thank you, miss.
-I... -Quiet.
We have a ride. Come on.
Sir.
I didn't get your name.
I am Zeng A'niu.
My sister is Zeng A'bao.
Your sister...
What illness does she have?
I don't know.
She keeps complaining that she's cold.
And your senior?
She seems to have burns.
We are from Emei Sect.
While fighting with Ming Sect's Fire Branch,
she was ambushed
and got burned.
She lost. That's all. Why lie about it?
I'm having a headache.
There she goes again.
Perhaps my master
can help your sister with her illness.
Thank you,
but our home remedies work pretty well too.
Zhiruo.
We're approaching the sects' gathering camp.
Mr. Zeng,
see you.
A'niu,
are you missing her?
What?
Back in the carriage,
you couldn't
take your eyes off that Ms. Zhou.
What are you blabbering about?
Only you would know
if I was blabbering.
Sir.
-Let's go. -Yes.
The Heavenly Sword is now returned to its owner.
I hope Wudang and Emei
will preserve righteousness in the martial world
and fight evil together.
Master Zhang is an elder we highly honor.
As descendants, we respectfully obey his teachings.
Now, the Six Major Sects have joined forces
to besiege Ming Sect
and destroy the evil cult.
This is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
Wudang and Emei have set aside their differences.
That's a good thing for the martial world.
Hereafter, we must unite in hearts and minds
to destroy evil beings.
Master.
I've found out
that in Ming Sect,
apart from Left Emissary Yang,
there is also White Brows Eagle King, Yin Tianzheng,
and Qingyi Bat King, Wei Yixiao,
who would come back to defend the sect.
Plus the Five Elements Forces,
we're in for a hard battle.
That's all there is to it.
We killed a dozen from the Fire Branch.
But seven or eight of yours were killed as well
-and one got burned. -Yes.
What is that supposed to mean?
I'm trying to think of an all-around plan
so that while destroying the Cult,
the Six Sects don't suffer heavy casualties.
-That wouldn't be a good deal. -Yes.
You're right.
What are your thoughts?
Let's play dirty.
We'll ambush some of their kung fu experts,
then winning them will be easy.
How do we ambush them?
Well...
You tell them.
Everyone.
Zhang Cuishan had a son, Zhang Wuji,
who was later lost.
He is White Brows Eagle King's grandson.
If he suddenly shows up,
the White Brows Eagle King will let his guard down.
You make it sound so easy.
Where can we find Zhang Wuji? Shall I pretend to be him?
Exactly. Who can be the impostor?
I think Master Song's son
is the best choice.
Father.
That's not a bad idea.
Well...
So when all the so-called righteous sects get together,
all they think about are dirty tricks.
My wife!
Vampire Bat.
Let go of my wife now.
This fatty hasn't taken a bath.
There's no way I'm sucking her blood.
Sword!
Dear!
Don't let him get away.
This girl smells much better.
I want to suck up all your blood.
Good kung fu!
Mr. Zeng.
Are you injured?
Let go of her.
Who are you?
Friend or enemy?
My name
is unimportant.
-Goodbye. -You may not leave.
You're not with any major sect, yet you have such advanced skills.
Perhaps you have colluded with the Cult monsters
to gain our trust.
I have no such intention.
Explain yourself before you go.
Everyone,
my sister's illness
cannot wait any longer.
I beg your pardon.
Where did he go?
Xiao Zhao.
The chill toxin is attacking.
-Over there. Go after him. -Where is he?
Hang on.
That brat must be related to Xie Xun.
What are you smiling about?
No, Master.
I...
I was smiling at his cowardice.
He ran away with his tail between his legs.
This conspiracy of the Six Major Sects besieging Ming Sect
must be supported by a dark Imperial force.
Is it true?
King Yuyang has sent Princess Zhao Min
to manipulate the martial world in the Central Plains.
Eagle King. Left Emissary Yang.
I am here.
Bat King, it's great to have you back.
So we have another ally.
Pass down this order.
Whoever claims to be Eagle King's grandson, Zhang Wuji,
-kill him without mercy. -Why?
I was gathering intelligence at the Six Sects' camp.
They're looking for someone to pretend to be Zhang Wuji.
Despicable!
My grandson has been missing for years
and they use such a dirty trick.
Pass down my orders.
Whoever claims to be Zhang Wuji, grandson of Eagle King,
kill him without mercy.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Someone has barged in.
-Xiao Zhao. -Emissary Yang.
It's you again.
She has been hit by Xuanming Divine Palm.
Emissary Yang, please give us a safe place
so that I can help her expel the chill toxin.
Years ago when Zhang Wuji was hit by Xuanming Divine Palm,
not even Master Zhang Sanfeng could expel it.
Who are you to claim you are capable of that?
I don't have time to explain.
Please help us.
If you don't mean any harm,
drop off Xiao Zhao and leave now.
I can't leave her like this.
Stop blabbering.
Let her go!
Grandfather.
I'm Wuji.
Are you really Wuji?
Benny, come here quickly.
Benny, come with me.
I've been here for over 30 years
and never knew there was a trapdoor here.
Who is this Xiao Zhao?
An orphan whom I rescued from the Western Regions seven years ago.
Behind the wall...
That must be our sanctum,
the Bright Secret Chamber.
Besides our chief,
no one else may enter.
Trespasser will die.
So even if we opened the wall,
we would not be able to enter.
That's right.
Where are we?
This is the Bright Secret Chamber.
Only the various chiefs of Ming Sect over the generations
may enter this forbidden chamber.
How do you know about it?
My mother was a servant here for over ten years.
She accidentally discovered it.
She kept it to herself
and never told anyone else
except me.
I have never been in here either.
Is there a way out?
I don't know.
Don't worry.
We'll find it.
Come.
Emissary Yang.
The Six Major Sects have begun their attack.
They have numerous top-tier fighters.
Our men are having trouble defending.
Eagle King, every army needs a leader.
Please go downhill to lead the Five Elements Forces
and be our first line of defense against the enemies.
If you really cannot hold the line
then withdraw to the grand hall here.
Yes.
No matter who wins or loses today,
this is going to be a catastrophe for the martial world.
Let's hope the undying sacred flame,
which has been lit since the founding of the sect,
will not be extinguished in our hands.
About that,
there is still room for discussion.
Cheng Kun.
When did you become a monk?
About a dozen years ago,
I became a disciple of Shaolin under Master Kong Wen.
My Buddhist name is Yuanzhen.
There's a bloody battle going on at the bottom of the hill.
How did you get through the chaos to the peak?
Aside from Yang Dingtian,
I'm one of the few people who have been in the Bright Secret Chamber.
Trespassing is a crime punishable by death.
That sounds awful.
In Ming Sect,
apart from the two of you,
only White Brows Eagle King can be considered a top-tier fighter.
Whereas the Six Major Sects have numerous good fighters.
Even if you take them one by one, they'll eventually wear you out.
You should incapacitate yourselves,
put out your sacred flame,
and never mention Ming Sect again from now on.
Then perhaps
we'll let you live.
How about I let you die first?
Aren't the Xuanming Divine Palms devastating?
No need to kill them.
The toxin of the Xuanming Divine Palms
will stop them from lifting their strengths.
When the Six Sects arrive,
they will slice off their flesh piece by piece.
Let's go.
This is like a maze.
What's with you?
I'm eating candy.
Let's go.
The chill toxin hits again.
Just leave me alone.
Don't waste your energy on me.
It's crucial you find a way out.
The air feels fresh in here.
There must be an exit.
Wait here.
Benny.
Whose skeleton is that?
Maybe the writing on the bed can tell us.
Come here.
"I, Yang Dingtian,
the 33rd Chief of the Ming Sect,
had sworn to lead the Sect
to overturn the tyrannical government
and bring back the order of the sacred flame
from our main altar in the west.
I was foolish
to marry an immoral woman.
She had a lover named Cheng Kun."
What are you doing?
I know
I will die soon.
I've carved the seven levels of the Grand Diversion on the rock.
After I die,
Xie Xun will become the deputy chief
and whoever that can bring back the Sacred Flame Plaques
will become the chief.
On completion of level three of the Grand Diversion,
one can move the big rock and leave the chamber.
These are the final words from Yang Dingtian.
This writing is all curly-looking.
What language is it?
I understand that writing.
It describes the Grand Diversion.
You can learn it.
Xiao Zhao,
read it to me.
The first level is...
The second level is...
This is the third level.
"Those slow to understand
will take 20 years to learn.
Those quick to understand
will take ten years.
When one gets to the highest state of this skill,
one can levitate off the ground during meditation."
-Kill! -Kill!
Yang Xiao. Wei Yixiao.
Stop playing dead.
Your evil cult is falling to its doom.
If you call yourselves men,
pull yourselves together and join this old guy to fight us
and die a glorious death.
You thieving evil woman.
Can't I, White Brows Eagle King,
take you on alone?
If you dare, come at me one at a time.
Fine.
I'll do it.
-I'll... -I'll let you guys go first.
Come on. Go ahead.
-Who will go first? -The Kunlun Sect will be first.
Go!
Xiao Zhao.
I'm on the sixth level
and I have figured out how to cure you.
Benny.
Don't worry about me.
Get to the seventh level.
Leave me alone.
-Leave me alone, Benny. -Xiao Zhao.
Hurry.
Xiao Zhao.
It's over.
Benny.
What happened?
The Grand Diversion
can take any weapon or internal strength directed at you
and shift it elsewhere,
even shifting it back to the enemy.
Your chill toxin
has been shifted into the dead body of Chief Yang.
Amazing.
Benny,
in that case,
you should learn the seventh level
and you'll be invincible.
The sixth level had never been achieved before me.
So why do I need to learn the seventh level?
Let's get out of here.
The Six Major Sects
should be attacking Ming Sect now.
I must stop this disaster.
Who's next?
Song Yuanqiao of Wudang along with four fellow brothers
seek to learn from the Eagle King.
Come on.
Beat him! Move.
Beat him!
Hats off to you.
This is
considered a tie.
Eagle King.
You're a respected hero.
We don't want to give you a hard time.
You can end your own life.
Old Monk.
You're befuddled.
We don't want to give you a hard time either.
Just end your own life.
In that case,
let's attack all at once and eradicate the last monsters of this evil cult.
Then extinguish that so-called undying sacred flame.
Sure. Miejue.
You go ahead.
We'll back you up.
I'll kill Yang Xiao.
I'll kill Wei Yixiao.
Then we'll take all their money.
And grab all their women.
Xiao Zhao,
take care of them for me.
You were lucky to have escaped yesterday and you dare show up again now.
Young man.
Are you with the Ming Sect?
No.
But I know that this besieging Ming Sect by the Six Major Sects
was caused by an Imperial spy
that fomented dispute among all of you,
so the sects would kill one another
and become too weak to be enemies of the Imperial Court.
You must not fall into that trap.
You say there is a spy.
-Which one is the spy? -Who is the spy?
-Who? -Tell us.
The spy I was referring to
is Shaolin's Yuanzhen.
His real name was Cheng Kun.
Why don't you get him out here to confront us?
Amitābha.
My brother's disciple, Yuanzhen,
unfortunately vanished while fighting with the Earth Branch.
How dare you sully his name.
I saw it myself.
He, the Xuanming Duo, and the Princess were discussing today's attack.
Their aim is for the Ming Sect and Six Major Sects to be weakened
through all the disputes
so that they can destroy them one by one.
Benny.
Their chill toxins are attacking.
Young man,
are you with the Ming Sect?
If so,
I will butcher you into eight pieces right now.
You two squealing pigs.
Shut up
or I'll make
bacon out of you.
Little girl,
you are so thin.
Do not fear.
After I kill your brother,
we'll take you to Huashan
and feed you until you're plump like him, all right?
What is he doing?
Do you feel cold?
Nice and cool.
Sirs, please take a rest.
You'll recover in an hour.
Thank you, young hero.
We'll take a break.
Take a break.
I feel so cold.
Why did everyone stop
when this brat showed up?
If no one will take him down,
allow me.
Monk Kong Xing.
My senior.
Let me do this for Shaolin.
Master.
Why would Shaolin have such a fierce monk?
His skill at the Dragon Claw
has been the best in the last ten generations or so.
Even when in training, he would easily injure others.
So normally,
he would put on shackles
to avoid killing innocents.
Brat.
State your name.
I am Zeng A'niu.
I have no intention of sparring with you.
Mr. Zeng,
the Six Major Sects will obey you
if you can defeat all of us one by one
in the name of Ming Sect.
Otherwise, we won't oblige.
Then please pardon me.
Why is he
willing to fight for us?
I think we may have
misjudged him.
But why hasn't he made a move?
Don't worry.
He is observing Kong Xing
to see how many moves he is capable of.
Are you fighting or playing tag?
All right.
Here I come.
You brat.
When did you learn my Dragon Claw?
Thank you for letting me win.
I accept defeat.
That was impressive.
My senior.
I failed to help Shaolin.
I'm sorry.
Let's see if you're capable
of learning our Emei swordplay.
Miejue was the one that killed Father,
but I must not injure her today
or the hatred between us won't be resolved.
What should I do?
Even if you don't use weapons,
I won't take it easy on you.
Sect Leader Miejue,
please enlighten me.
No matter what weapon you use,
you won't defeat Master's Heavenly Sword.
Silence.
I'll use you then.
Put me down.
Master!
Let go!
Zhiruo.
Master!
Kill him!
Ms. Zhiruo, I beg your pardon.
Watch out.
-Master. -Master.
Sect Leader Miejue.
Thank you for letting me win.
Ms. Zhiruo,
please return this precious sword
to your honorable master.
Kill him!
Any Emei disciple
who disobeys her master
will die a horrible death.
Benny!
This gentleman is injured while defending Ming Sect.
If you still wish to fight,
we will be glad to oblige.
-My brothers, retreat! -Let's go.
Let's go.
Go...
Let's go.
This medicine
was made by my master, the honorable Zhang Sanfeng.
It is excellent for cuts and bruises.
If you don't mind, it will quickly stop the bleeding.
How would we know it's not poison?
Wudang disciples are always open and honest.
Bat King.
Benny!
My second uncle would never hurt me.
You're Wuji?
You really are Wuji.
Uncle.
You've grown.
I didn't recognize you.
My senior, Wuji is alive!
Hello, my uncles.
How is Grandmaster?
He is doing very well.
He misses you every day.
If you have the chance,
you should go see him.
I will.
-Benny. -Wuji.
-Benny! -Wuji!
Wuji.
We should go
or the other sects will think we are colluding with the Ming Sect.
-Let's go. -Please take care of him.
-We'll leave Wuji in your good hands. -Let's go.
Thank you.
-Ming Sect forever! -Ming Sect forever!
Wuji.
My good grandson.
It's all my fault.
I came too late
to save you from being injured.
I'm fine.
I...
I can still take it.
Benny.
You're finally awake.
You've slept for three days and three nights.
Have some water.
We hope you will help to save the Ming Sect one more time.
As long as I can do it,
I will.
You have rescued the entire Ming Sect.
You are such a noble person.
All of us
would like to make you
the 34th Chief of the Ming Sect.
Please get up.
Grandfather, please stand up.
Chief commands us to get up.
-We obey the Chief's command. -We obey the Chief's command.
One month later
The Chief protects the sect
for ages to come.
The Chief protects the sect
for ages to come.
The Chief protects the sect

The Chief protects the sect

The Chief protects the sect
for ages to come.
The Chief protects the sect
for ages to come.
-A message! -The Chief Protects the sect
-A message! -for ages to come.
Emissary Yang.
What's wrong?
Our spy found Swordsman Yin of Wudang
about 60 miles south of here.
He's badly injured.
All his joints have been shattered.
Uncle.
What happened?
My senior and fellow brothers
have all been captured.
On the way,
my fellow brothers
suddenly felt strengthless.
They must have been poisoned.
Just then,
two persons called Cat and Dog appeared.
Cat
shattered all the joints
in my body.
Don't worry, Uncle.
I will go everywhere in the world
to look for good physicians to cure you.
Uncle.
It must be someone in the Imperial Court.
The beautiful princess.
Do you still remember her?
We followed her to Green Willow Mansion.
It's very close from here.
Green Willow Mansion?
Xiao Zhao.
Take care of my uncle for me.
My master knew you would come today,
but she had to go out.
So she told me to greet you heroes here.
Please come in.
This way, please.
Please enjoy the snacks.
My master will return shortly.
The master knew we would come
yet purposely left.
"Destroy Huashan."
"Defeat Kunlun."
"Torture Ming Sect."
I'll torture you first.
-Let's go. Run! -Grandfather.
Chief.
That powder is colorless and tasteless,
but soon after inhaling it,
I can no longer raise my inner strength.
I feel sore all over.
I think
that's a very powerful poison.
I feel the same way.
Benny.
What should we do?
Wuji.
The poison they inhaled
sounds exactly like my fellow brothers'.
There is no choice.
I'll go back to Green Willow Mansion to look for the princess
and make her hand over the antidote.
Xiao Zhao, take care of them.
Benny,
can't you use the Grand Diversion
to suck out this poison?
Internal injuries can be shifted,
but not poisoned, I'm afraid.
Benny, don't worry.
I'll protect everyone with my life.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Mr. Zhang.
I thought I wouldn't get the chance to see you again.
You're full of tricks.
Aren't you afraid I'll kill you in a single blow?
You're an extraordinary man.
You wouldn't bully a vulnerable woman.
You're no vulnerable woman.
You are in command of the Xuanming Duo, the Eight Amazing Archers,
and the so-called Cat and Dog.
Which imperial royalty are you?
I'm Princess Minmin Temuer,
daughter of King Ruyang.
I have a Chinese name,
Zhao Min.
So you are second in command.
And you have hidden talents.
Last we met, you were nothing but quick as a whip,
you have turned into the all powerful and influential
Chief of Ming Sect and enemy of the Imperial Court.
Give me the antidote.
Am I stupid?
Would I poison them and just hand in the antidote upon your request?
Let's talk business.
I don't make deals with those that have differing principles.
Are you thinking of robbing it from me?
I'm no match for you.
Here it is.
Witch, you're tricking me again.
Since I'm a witch,
of course I'd play tricks.
I'm no match for you in terms of kung fu. But I can't just let you bully me, can I?
Give me the antidote and open the trap door.
The antidote has been in your hand.
The doors can only be opened from the outside.
Don't make me give you a hard time.
Sure.
While I'm having a hard time here,
your little servant lover will have a hard time out there.
Let's see who has a harder time.
What do you mean?
Miejue has been lured
to your little girlfriend
and your stupid men.
Miejue will not let them off easily.
You're evil.
Where is the person
who just provoked us?
It seems
they've been injured or poisoned.
God is fair.
I'm finally given the chance to kill them.
Xiao Zhao.
Madam Miejue.
I see you're in the mood for an outing too.
Benny has gone to buy a goat.
He'll be back soon.
That brat has probably died from that stab.
Died?
He's doing very well
and living with gusto.
If you don't believe me, just wait here and see.
Don't listen to her. She's bluffing.
Watch me tear your mouth out.
Tear my mouth out?
You're not qualified yet.
If I want to fight, I'd fight with Madam Miejue,
not with you.
Three blows. Is it fine with you?
The girl is trying to buy us time with her life.
I had underestimated her.
Since you want to die so badly,
I'll send you on your way.
Master, she is dead!
No, I'm not.
What do you want?
Look who's talking.
Hurry, please.
Honestly,
I don't know yet.
What should I do then?
I have already given you the antidote.
I was going to give you
the miracle bone medicine,
Black Jade Ointment,
for Swordsman Yin's wounds.
But what can you give me in exchange?
If I failed to stop your fall,
your brains would be all over the floor.
I'm not afraid.
Again then.
I'll kill myself now.
You'd better let go.
Let me out now.
Fine.
But
promise you'll do three things for me
and I'll give you the Black Jade Ointment now
and let you go.
What three things?
I haven't thought of them yet.
But
I won't ask you to kill yourself
or do anything
against the principles of chivalry.
All right?
Fine.
Master, she is dead.
You're a zombie!
I'm still not dead.
Master!
-Master! -Master!
Benny.
You did well.
I tried my best.
Grandfather.
I got the antidote.
Chief.
Are you sure it's real?
I made her take two doses from there.
The medicine is real.
How did you get it?
Chief has a way with women.
Don't worry.
Stay back.
I won't let you hurt my master.
I just want to tell you
that the Imperial Court has sent expert fighters
to kill the Six Major Sects who left Ming Sect.
Wudang Sect has been ambushed.
My sixth uncle
is gravely injured.
My four other uncles
have been poisoned and captured.
You must beware.
Zhiruo.
You almost stabbed him to death,
but he's still so nice to you.
He bears ill will.
Chief Zhang,
we, the Emei Sect,
thank you for your good intentions.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
-Master. -Master.
Chief, the antidote is working.
We have recovered.
The person who injured my uncle
was using Shaolin's Vajra Finger.
Let's first go to Shaolin
to ask Monk Kong Wen.
Yes.
Find a safe place as soon as possible
for me to recuperate.
Yes.
Looking for a place?
We've got lots.
We were just going to send you an invitation.
The place reeks of blood.
Mahavira Hall
Who has the ability
to kill everyone at Shaolin?
"First, kill all at Shaolin,
then destroy Wudang.
Only the Ming Sect
is the king of the martial world."
They are framing us for this crime.
It must be the Imperial Court.
Grandmaster.
Grandmaster is in here. This way.
Master Zhang.
I am from Shaolin Temple.
Young master,
what happened to Shaolin?
All the monks in the temple have been assassinated.
The books on the 72 Invincible Skills have been stolen.
I risked my life to escape.
Master Zhang, I beg you to help us.
Good fortune follows disaster,
disaster lurks within good fortune.
Young monk,
why did you try to kill me?
Qingshu.
-Qingshu. -Grandmaster.
I know someone wants to ambush you,
so I kept running for a whole day and night to get back here.
Fortunately, I arrived in time to stop it. You're blessed, Grandmaster.
It's a sinful act.
Grandmaster.
I am useless.
I failed to protect my fellow disciples.
Grandmaster.
A great man knows how to ride the tide of his times.
The Imperial Court has knighted me Heroic General
with more money than I can ever spend.
In Wudang,
as long as you're still alive,
my father will never be the sect leader.
How much longer must I wait?
You are wrong.
The way of heaven takes from excess to make up for deficiencies.
The way of man takes from the poor
and gives to the rich.
Qingshu.
I am the Chief of Ming Sect, Zhang Wuji.
Master Zhang of Wudang, greetings.
Zhang Wuji.
One of my disciples' sons
is also called Zhang Wuji,
but he died a long time ago.
Master Zhang,
let me be honest.
The Imperial Court values your virtue, reputation,
and superior martial art skills.
You are truly a martial arts guru.
We wish to make you Imperial Master to unite the martial world for us.
Four of your disciples
have already arrived in Dadu as our guests
and are waiting for you to join them.
Swordsman Yin
sparred with my Cat,
who was so clumsy and careless
that he broke all the joints in Swordsman Yin's body.
My apologies.
Since all my disciples are with you,
everything is resolved.
You may go now.
If Wudang Sect can defeat Cat and Dog,
then you don't have to come with me.
For someone who refuses to fight,
nobody can beat him.
Grandmaster,
let your grand disciple get rid of them for you.
Grandmaster.
I am Wuji.
Wuji.
You're still alive.
Wuji.
I'm alive
and studying scriptures every day,
including the scriptures I stole from you.
I have digested all of them.
Good.
Wonderful.
Cuishan has an heir.
Zhang Wuji.
Aren't you ashamed?
How dare you address Master Zhang as Grandmaster?
What a shame.
My late father, Zhang Cuishan,
was Grandmaster's fifth disciple.
How else should I address him?
Today, Wudang Sect
will seek to learn the superior kung fu of your Cat and Dog.
Zhang Wuji,
you just love provoking me.
Don't forget.
You promised to do three things for me.
Of course I remember.
Now I will ask you to do the first thing.
You may not use any skill you have learned before.
Fine.
Grandmaster, teach me a few moves.
Great perfection seems flawed,
yet functions smoothly.
Great fullness seems empty,
yet functions without exhaustion.
Great straightness seems bent.
Great eloquence seems stammering.
Shaolin's Vajra Finger.
You're the one who hurt my sixth uncle.
His skills were poor.
He only has himself to blame.
-Greetings, Master Zhang. -Greetings, Master Zhang.
Perfect timing.
Today is a great day for Wudang Sect.
Wuji is back.
Wuji is a rare martial arts prodigy.
With the Great Yang Stance as the foundation,
he can learn any martial art instantly.
Now, experience my sixth uncle's pain.
The Heavenly Sword?
Madam Miejue is on her way to becoming our guest in Dadu.
Aren't you the Jade-Faced Sword God,
Nan Gongye?
I have long forgotten
my previous name.
Chief Zhang,
allow me to learn from you.
Chief,
the Heavenly Sword
is ten times more powerful in his hands than in Miejue's.
Please beware.
Grandmaster,
can you teach me some sword skills?
You've already learned them.
Forget all about the tai chi moves.
Just remember the spirit of tai chi
and use that with your sword.
Understood.
Do you remember?
All forgotten.
-Xiao Zhao. -Yes.
Benny.
The Heavenly Sword isn't without an equal.
I only have a saber...
which I'll have to use like a sword.
The Dragon Saber?
Thank you for letting me win.
Wuji.
Zhang Wuji,
if you want to rescue the Six Major Sects, come and find me in Dadu.
I'll be there.
Please trust me.
I'll use the Grand Diversion to catch all of you.
Is Ms. Zhou prettier?
I will be yours
after all.
Or your little servant girl prettier
or am I prettier?
Remember you promised to do three things for me?
The third thing is
I forbid you to marry Zhou Zhiruo today.
I am the current Chief of Ming Sect, Zhang Wuji.
I have now replaced my mother
as the Chief of Ming Sect's Headquarters.
From tonight onwards,
Zhou Zhiruo will lead Emei Sect.
Let your daughter
seize the Dragon Saber
and present it to you.
