"In the early Ching Dynasty," "Emperor "Ti-chao" suddenly fell ill," "And would die any time" "It is believed that there is a strange flower on Mount "Shin Fung"" "It blooms every twenty years" "This flower can bring a dying man back to life, change white hair into black" "The court decided to send people to the mountain to look for this flower" "Mount "Shin Fung"" "I, Chief Yeh Li Nieh Tang of Ching, have come specially to visit you Mr Cho of Wu Tang" "His majesty is now indisposed" "They say your flower can bring... a dying man back to life" "What time is it now?" "Still 4 hours before the blossom" "I mean the year?" "It's now exactly 1 0 years since the foundation of Ching" "Ten years" "You may leave!" "Sir, only if your flower can revive His Majesty, the Court will reward you handsomely" "This flower is not for you" "Cho Yi-hang, hear what our General said?" "Who ranks higher than His Majesty?" "A woman, in my eyes" "I waited for her for a decade" "I wonder if she knew" "my master was the Chief of the 8 clans in Chung Yuan, and Priest Tzu Yang of Wu Tang" "He often told me... about the underworld love-hate relationship" "In his words, all the clans are bad except the 8 big clans" "Yi-hang, remember there's always controversy between good and evil" "Yes, master" "I answered him the same always" "Have you mastered Moon-Breaking sword..." "I taught you?" "Yes, completely" "Yi-hang" "Concentrate by combining heart and sword into one" "Draw!" "The sword protects the body from being soiled by petals" "Heart-piercing stab!" "Master, I've already come up to such a level" "Can I have a few days' rest now?" "Learning is unlimited" "Continue if you wish to become the future Chief of the swordplay world" "In fact, I've never cherished such an ambition" "But, occasionally..." "I resort to chivalrous acts!" "I should've let you be captured by those rascals" "To save you," "I don't now even know where I am" "Oh, no, Master will reprimand me for sure" "I've been afraid of 2 things since childhood" "Thunderbolt and..." "Hsiao Yang, time for you to repay a favor now" "I'm leaving." "Take care!" "Help..." "Master, help, master..." "Sister, brother, help!" "Uncle Pai Yun, help!" "Desperate!" "Help!" "I don't want to die!" "Help..." "Master, help me... master, help me..." "I can't believe it There're really miracles in this world" "At that moment, I really wanted to get to her and say "thanks"" "Have a clearer look at her face" "But..." "I was really too tired" "When I knew him, he was only an ordinary officer" "Unexpectedly, he later became Gen Wu San-kuei who changed the history of Chung Yuan" "This time you're lucky" "Next time I'm not sure if you'd be as lucky" "I'm sober while the others are all drunk Come on!" "Come again if you've the nerve!" "I enjoy company with him because I can do anything prohibited by Master" "Come on!" "Yi-hang" "Fear not accusations from a thousand fingers if you're innocent" "A life under others' influence means no life" "It's as good as dead!" "Have you grasped what I said?" "Never knew a furious man... could be so kind-hearted" "Sometimes I doubt if he was nice to me only because..." "I'm an orphan!" "Cho Yi-hang" "You stole a sheep from farmer Ho Tor-niu's home 1 -1 7" "Do you plead guilty or not?" "He stole my sheep and gave me a swollen face." "Look" "I meant to save it... from getting butchered" "Master told us to be chivalrous" "And they wouldn't even let go a small sheep" "Do you plead guilty to hurting Tor-niu?" "He called me beast and creep" "I should've fed him with dog shit" "What's so funny?" "Chief, as a disciple of Wu Tang and an heir to Chief, what Cho Yi-hang did is a disgrace to the clan and" "Wu Tang's reputation" "In fact, Uncle Pai Yun is not bad, but he's overambitious" "He wants to have his daughter succeed... as the Chief against tradition" "So I'm his eyesore" "Calligraphy like swordplay calls for stamina" "He's my brother Lu Hsing-cheng" "For any clans... stamina comes from the brush and strength" "Practice energy with spirit" "Practice energy with spirit" "Move the brush with energy" "Move the brush with energy" "Waist more erect than brush" "Waist more erect than brush" "Raise wrist" "Raise wrist" "Arm like a dragon" "Arm like a dragon" "Sister is late" "Sorry, dad!" "Sit down now!" "Practice calligraphy now" "Cho Yi-hang, copy 500 times to atone for your mistake" "I already knew it" "Never be perverted by poverty" "She's my sister Ho Lu-hua" "Didn't you notice she often smiled at me" "And she passed food for me to eat to cheer me" "It means however rich you're, you must restrain yourself" "Yield not to prowess" "It means no submission to powerful influence" "Understand?" "Cho Yi-hang, don't abandon yourself only because the Chief spoils you" "Look at them, writing without eating" "You eating buns here?" "Follow your sister: still as a virgin, crafty as a rabbit" "You're carefree and an idle eater" "I know sister is clever" "The brothers are all at puberty" "You, an elder brother, are naughty yourself" "You frolicked while learning" "Do you admit guilty?" "And in Feb you came personally down... to kill Kaifeng constable Fang Tien-cheng" "Do you plead guilty or not?" "No" "Uncle Pai Yun, I stabbed him once only" "Why call it "Kill"?" "What manner is that?" "Right" "What's the penalty for a Wu Tang disciple?" "Isn't it agains propriety?" "You admit everything then?" "I admitted I killed a lackey, but..." "With the proof here, don't argue any more" "I have nothing to say now" "But that lousy mandarin's folks do!" "Uncle" "Ladies and gentlemen, don't misunderstand swordsman Cho" "My son was to blame and he deserved it" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Luckily swordsman Cho helped me" "Otherwise, that bastard would've raped me" "He even tried to kill my daughter!" "Thank you swordsman Cho for your help Thanks..." "Get up..." "Silence in the palace" "Thank you..." "Pai Yun, what wrong did my pupil do to have troubled the presence of you 8 elders?" "In the name of the Chief's adopted pupil" "Cho ran rougshod and bullied other clans' pupils" "With proof and the witnesses here, he can't deny it" "Yi-hang, what have you to say?" "Chief, they're the descendants of the 6 big clans" "If I alone could beat them all 6, it means Wu Tang's more powerful in martial arts" "On this score I admit!" "Shut up!" "Brother has hit the nail on the head!" "Quiet!" "Ma Yu of Kung Tung, did Cho injure you?" "No, overexercise brought me this" "And you, Liu Cheng of Tien Chuang?" "How did you get your wound?" "I injured myself while playing!" "How do you explain your wounds?" "I dropped into the well getting water out of it!" "I was pursued by a tiger!" "I was only joking" "Get down!" "All stuff and nonsense!" "You!" "I wounded him because he wouldn't pay at Wan Chun brothel" "You" "You hogged others' farmland in conspiracy with bureaucracy, didn't you?" "And you" "You bullied a scholar with your martial arts..." "Cho Yi-hang!" "Yes!" "You came down without the master's permission" "Now face the Buddha (in the palace) and repent without drinking for 3 days" "Yes!" "Aren't you tired of this?" "Always putting on airs!" "You see me whenever you think of me, right?" "Hungry?" "Let me get you something to eat" "Thank you" "So you don't mind even such coarse food as buns!" "They're nice!" "Eat!" "Cho..." "Cho, we didn't mean to testify against you this morning" "Priest Pai Yun forced us to!" "Yes..." "Would you bear us grudge?" "No, I forgot everything already!" "Thank you..." "Next time remember to pay at the brothel" "Yes..." "Cho, try red kaoliang of Shansi" "Good" "Cut it out!" "Can't you see... he's carrying sister's 2 big buns?" "Don't you know this is the palace of Wu Tang?" "Wine and meat, you may ruin me!" "Get out!" "Get out quick!" "What about me?" "You, too!" "I'll go back to retire" "You stay to sleep with brother" "What are you doing?" "This jade heirloom came from my dad" "Keep it and promise not to break it" "Stay!" "What are you doing?" "I need it" "Help me to hold on first" "Brother!" "Right, it's now time for us to serve our country" "Kill rascals and remove evils!" "Kill!" "Yes!" "Brother!" "Stealing military supplies is a serious crime." "You may get beheaded!" "People in our tribe get beheaded for plucking the weed only!" "Dying of struggle is better than starving to death" "Come here." "There's something to eat" "Don't fight!" "Everybody has a share!" "Let me do it if you can't" "How dare you lay hands on the Ming Court's provisions?" "Kill!" "Darling, are you alright?" "I can't hold on." "I must deliver" "Don't...!" "Darling, come out quick!" "Kill these beggars!" "I'll kill you, demon" "I'll chop you to 8 pieces" "Exactly 8 pieces" "Run quick!" "Darling, bear with it" "Darling, it hurts badly!" "Darling, bear with it" "I must deliver" "There's light in front Let's go and seek help." "Come quick!" "No one is around" "It hurts badly!" "Swordsman, we didn't steal!" "Don't kill us!" "I didn't steal!" "Don't kill us!" "Darling..." "Darling, are you alright?" "Swordsman, can you deliver?" "Please help us" "To help you deliver?" "To help us deliver, we beg you!" "Darling bear with it" "Darling, what now?" "Can you deliver?" "Please do us a favor" "Darling, we've got help!" "Darling, harder!" "Harder, harder, darling!" "Darling!" "Darling..." "Darling, we have gone through the most difficult times, why do you leave us at this moment?" "Don't be sad!" "A son has hope" "Keep it to run a small business." "Come" "Get out of here!" "Swordsman!" "Thank you, swordsman!" "Who are you?" "Why are you following me?" "Miss, you bring us closer yourself" "Right!" "It's better to keep a distance between us" "Whoever sees me shall be blinded!" "Do I have to perish having seen your whole body?" "Miss, control your temper!" "Oh, I forgot to tell you I'm Cho Yi-hang" "Chief of the cult, killing ensures peace" "Today" "Our chief bodyguard sent an Army to wipe out many lackeys" "We want to let them know that our tribesmen are not ants..." "under their soles" "The chief bodyguard frightens demons through blood practice" "Those old people of Chung Yuan's 8 clans are too old even to hold a sword" "All they know is to pay lip service only" "They pay lip service to bewitch the masses" "They not only plan to unite Chung Yuan but to dig out our ancestors' graves" "What a nuisance" "Only if... we wipe out those old leaders," "the 8 clans of Chung Yuan will be dissolved" "Wipe out the beasts!" "Increase my longevity" "Why is it so icy the whole night?" "We've been hiding 20 years waiting for this day!" "Now is the time to return a favor" "Kill them for me!" "Your heart's beating hard!" "Let me feel it" "Have you finished ordering?" "What's so funny?" "Buddy, you look so pitiable!" "Having hardened her wings, you've no right to touch them!" "True love is mutual" "I'll wait for you!" "Right, compulsory love has no happiness" "Right, compulsory love has no happiness" "Priest Tzu Yang, the cult is getting more powerful in Manchuria" "It may menace the safety of the people of Ming" "As the Chief of 8 clans, you should contribute some effort!" "Chi Wu-shuang appears again" "The underworld is again rife with witchcraft" "We must wipe out the cult before it come to power" "They're not so easy to wipe out!" "I hear they're quite powerful in martial arts" "Chief, we shouldn't have let that traitor go that year" "No point mentioning the past!" "We must decide immediately which clan will lead the expedition" "What's your opinion?" "As the Chief of 8 clans," "Wu Tang should do!" "Right" "Right you are" "Hsin Cheng" "Why, master?" "Where's Yi-hang?" "Where have you been?" "Master is meeting with the 7 clans on how to cope with the cult" "Halt!" "What about the jade I gave you?" "Why ask me about it now?" "Where's the jade?" "Why did you give it to someone else?" "I feel he needs it more than I do" "I'll kill him." "So you don't need him" "Brother, master wants you" "Sorry, Chief, I'm late!" "Yi-hang, the 8 clans have decided to send troops to suppress the cult and you'll be in command" "Chief, this is a herculean task" "I'm afraid I'm not equal to it" "Wu Tang is full of personalities" "Why have you only him in mind, Chief?" "Have you got a better choice?" "I venture to suggest my daughter Lu-hua... as the best choice" "Right" "Sister is brilliant and a fast swordswoman" "None's better suited than her as the commander" "Oh, no, it's against the rule" "Do you agree?" "Right!" "What's your opinion?" "Chief, how can a female undertake such a heavy assignment?" "Yi-hang" "A military order is as rigid as a mountain and you can't go against rules" "You command the 8 clans' pupils... with Lu-hua as your side" "Set out by night" "Your order is understood" "Yi-hang, I've covered you up in the presence of the 8 clans" "Why go against me?" "Master, master!" "Listen" "I spent years' efforts teaching you kung fu, hoping you may succeed me... as the Chief of the 8 clans... after my death" "I know that as the Chief to lead the masses" "I must do many things against my will" "Right!" "So a kind heart is a defect" "Kind heart?" "Listen, if some day" "Chi Wu-shuang wants to suppress Wu Tang, can you ask her to spare us?" "And if some day we unite Chung Yuan and must kill all hans, can you use your heart to move them?" "This is the so-called underworld rule" "So you have no choice" "Yes, I do" "I may quit the underworld" "Quit the underworld?" "Easily said than done" "Listen, what else can you do besides kung fu?" "Returning home to till the land?" "The Chief himself has promised to relinquish his post to you" "All the 8 clans have been eyeing this post" "You take no interest, but I do" "Child, take a longer sight" "If you really become the Chief, we can join forces" "Quite possibly we may even change Ming's territory" "General, we've again caught some foreign spies" "Chop!" "Yes!" "Chop!" "We're innocent..." "Uncle Kuei, why did you..." "Given present circumstances, killing 1 00 wrongly is better than letting one go" "The cult tries to cover the eyes and ears of the world and the Manchus are getting increasingly rampant" "Our duty as military men is to protect the territory and kill them all" "Yi-hang, remember, heroes make the times!" "Why is brother still not here?" "Let's not wait for Yi-hang any more" "Better plan how to deploy... to cope with the cult" "But Chi Wu-shuang's advance in martial arts and we're in the dark about the cult's surroundings" "Such a move is too dangerous" "Let Kung Tung clan back out... if it prefers" "I don't think our 7-clan coalition... can't cope with Wu-shuang" "And the wolf girl?" "And we have Wu Tang's 72 cyclical swords" "And Hua Shan clan's... 7 Fatal Arrays" "Shut up, I know" "And O-Mei clan's dragon-tiger conquering skills" "And Kun Lun's fantastic King Kong swordplay" "If we stab her unawares" "Let alone a wolf girl, even a dragon girl may be chopped by us... into minces" "Elders" "Let me ask you a question" "Foreign tribes bear us on grudge" "Why kill them?" "Brother" "You want to kill?" "Let me ask you" "Have you heard of the sounds of a sword chopped on human body or bones?" "Cho Yi-hang, as the commander of the 8 clans you speak baldy to disrupt the Army morale" "You were ambitious to spread your name" "So you're most suited... for the commander post" "Patrolling at this late hour?" "It's freezing!" "Something in front must be wrong" "Nobody!" "Are you drunk?" "Only a tree!" "Brother..." "Wake up, brother" "Sister, isn't it against the rule?" "He's against the rule" "He got drunk in defiance of discipline and even forsook his emblem" "How is he to answer to master on return to Wu Tang?" "Men of the cult are here!" "Where are they?" "Here" "Be alert!" "Form an array" "Bleeding, I'll die for sure" "Only a bruise!" "Stop!" "Are you crazy?" "I'm not an enemy" "Miss" "Know me?" "In the ancient city," "I must kill you, a Chung Yuan native" "Come on" "Cho Yi-hang" "Don't move" "Don't blame me" "It would be too late if I didn't help you now" "In my view he may have been bewitched by that witch" "I don't think it's as simple as that" "That witch even spared his life and followed him" "They exchanged glances and might have been intimate" "Shut up!" "How can one bewitched by a wolf girl command Chung Yuan to fight foreigners?" "Brother, you'd better reconsider... a more suitable candidate" "Shut up!" "Bring him back quickly and let him explain to me personally" "Brother, don't!" "Retire now!" "Girls?" "I can give you 1 00... much better than she?" "No, I want her!" "Are you out of your mind?" "That bitch helped us kill so many Chung Yuan men" "Can she get away?" "I must let her know... she brought me the agony" "Any agony can't compare to our expulsion... by that old Tzu Yang traitor 20 years ago" "Chi Wu-shuang" "You two got twisted... by the cult and brought mess to the Chung Yuan swordplay world" "Expelling your family without killing you... you're lucky" "Kill them..." "Quiet, chiefs!" "These 2 rats are much condemned for their crime" "But as an orthodox clan, we mustn't go too far" "Chi Wu-shuang, we'll give you a chance" "As of today, don't ever set foot on Chung Yuan" "Brother, we shouldn't cherish any feeling for anyone" "We must hate him, control him" "We adopted the wolf girl to utilize her to kill... all Chung Yuan scoundrels only" "She's merely our killing instrument" "Remember that, understand?" "Only we've friends you can't afford to lose" "Get out!" "You're the most despicable" "Why follow me?" "I don't want you" "You don't want me?" "You must!" "I want wolf girl..." "No one would want you... the way you look" "How come there's a word 'Lien' on you?" "I only know it's my surname" "I have no name" "Everybody should have a name" "I've been living with wolves from childhood!" "Chi Wu-shuang adopted me and brought me to the cult" "She taught me kung fu and made me her killing instrument" "Let me give you a name" "Lien..." "Lien Wu-kung (practice martial arts)?" "Lien Wu-kung?" "I remember now, when I first saw you," "you were standing... on the mountain-top and glittered with your dress reflected by the moonlight" "You should be named Lien Ni-chang" "Lien Ni-chang?" "Let's get out of the underworld together" "Don't you begrudge Wu Tang?" "Don't you begrudge the post of Chief?" "The underworld doesn't belong to us Let them fight for it" "What would you do if" "I should grow old with silver hair years later?" "Don't worry" "Have you heard of a fabulous flower blossoming each 2 decades that, once taken can bring eternal life?" "If you should go silver-haired," "I'll bring the elixir to you by any means" "Promise me, promise me" "What?" "Don't ever distrust me" "I hate people who do" "I swear" "I swear under Heaven I would be condemned if I should ever let Lien Ni-chang down" "Why?" "Why let me down?" "Speak up" "Don't get excited!" "Adopt another wild one... from a wolf lair and woo her when she grows up" "The only worry is your kung fu would've been disabled then" "Shut up!" "I expended so much effort on you" "Can this be done away with?" "Once I decide on the course to take," "I won't turn back" "Is this your excuse... for leaving the cult?" "What do you want?" "You knew what my brother wants" "Only if you let me leave the cult you may do anything you like" "Brother, no point licking all over her" "Her heart is already somebody else's" "You picked a junk" "I've been your twin for such a long time and you don't even know a female's normal reaction" "You're getting out of your mind" "Have you given it to others?" "Did you follow that Wu Tang scoundrel when you last disappeared?" "He's not a scoundrel!" "He's Cho Yi-hang" "What has he given you?" "A name" "I'm now Lien Ni-chang, not a wolf girl" "Everybody should've a name on birth" "Brother, what a common name" "So she wants only to be a common person" "Lien Ni-chang" "You want to be a common person" "Now leave the cult like a commoner" "Uncle Kuei then became... a General he dreamt of" "Only then did I sense the meaning of what he said to me in Shanhaikwan" "Never expected that a hero that claimed to wipe out foreign tribesmen would've let the Ching troops in at this juncture" "Undress" "Go" "Hell with you!" "Remember, don't use your martial arts" "Love, thy spell is irresistible" "Shut up!" "Stop!" "As I said, none can pass this" "Can I leave now?" "Yes" "Sister, your bridal dress" "Cho Yi-hang" "Traitor Wu San-kuei led the Ching troops into the pass" "At a time when the Ming empire is critical and needs men to defend its territory you're having a tryst... with a rival" "Ni-chang and I have both decided to quit the underworld" "Yi-hang, so you'd rather let your name stink in history... because of that witch" "You may leave" "Goddamn disciple" "You betray the one closest to you!" "Brother, in any case, considering the master's upbringing, you should return to explain everything to him" "Hold it!" "Since you left, the Chief seldom spoke" "I think he's really peevish this time" "Think carefully how to explain to him" "What's wrong?" "The master's body..." "Where's the master's body?" "Find it!" "Find it now!" "Yes" "Uncle..." "Uncle" "Brother" "Chief" "Hsin Cheng!" "Hsin Cheng" "Brother" "Hsin Cheng" "Hsin Cheng" "Brother" "It hurts badly" "Hsin Cheng, tell me who did it?" "Who did it?" "Tell me!" "Tell me now." "Hsin Cheng!" "Who did it?" "While you were away, the wolf girl brought men to kill us" "Never thought Wu Tang would end up this way!" "She didn't do it!" "What?" "She was brought up by a wolf, she must be brutal" "You brought rack and tuin to Wu Tang" "Why don't you wake up?" "Cho Yi-hang, wake up" "I've come to see Cho Yi-chang" "Witch, to see him after resorting to killing?" "What?" "Lu-hua" "Damn witch" "Let's go" "We only want to ask you one question" "Did you do it?" "Their death is not linked to me" "All I want to know now is will you follow me?" "Why did you do that?" "Why?" "Don't let her get away!" "Kill this witch!" "Why don't you trust me?" "Don't ever distrust me" "I hate people who do" "I swear" "I swear under Heaven I would be condemned if I should ever let Lien Ni-chang down" "The witch is possessed." "Kill her!" "Ni-chang" "She's dead" "Ni-chang" "Yi-hang" "Come here, come here" "Master" "Yi-hang, why didn't you take... my advice all these years" "but go against me in every way?" "Yi-hang, you're doing me an injustice for bringing Wu Tang to such a state" "Master, I..." "Idiot" "Congratulations on your match May you have a long and happy union" "You may die tragically" "Come out" "Come out" "Brother, why take such an attitude towards me?" "Watch out!" "What have you got to take away my girl?" "You want to know?" "Brother, gouge out that bitch's heart for me" "Come out" "What are you waiting for?" "Kill her!" "Kill her!" "Kill her!" "Hear me?" "Kill her!" "Come on quick!" "Why don't you kill her?" "Kill her!" "Brother!" "Never knew... you'd be stung by your own conscience" "So it's great sleeping this way" "Ni-chang"
