"Thank you very much for coming." "Congratulations..." "Yung Chang, raise the banner from His Majesty." "Yes!" "We must give our thanks to His Majesty." "Yung Chang, hang the banner." "Yes, Lao-erh!" "Come with me!" "What's the matter?" "What's going on?" "Teacher..." "Teacher!" "Here, Teacher." "It's easier secure a title than prove yourself to be the greatest fighter." "It is not clear who the Champion of Kiangnan really is." "Stop the ceremony!" "Why?" "Father, what's happened?" "I've been established in these lands for over thirty years." "I have always been highly respected by my peers." "Also, I have eliminated the local bandits and driven out the Japanese." "I've been very exited about this particular honor because it's been bestowed by His Majesty." "You are a righteous warrior and the most skilled fighter." "Everyone praises you, even His Majesty." "You truly deserve the honor." "But, I'm getting too old and tired for all this." "I was planning to retire after the ceremony." "But..." "You have so much fame, how can you give it up?" "That is not a concern!" "Either way, I have reversed my decision." "I changed my mind not because I wish for more money and fame." "But just now, I've received a warning by carrier pigeon." "It's not clear who the Champion of Kiangnan is!" "To protect my reputation, I've got to change my decision!" "In order not to deviate from His Majesty's wishes for me this ceremony and my retirement will be postponed." "Until I've met the champions Tiger, Panther, Dragon, Snake, and Eagle from the provinces." "You're out to prove that you're the Champion?" "You suspect my claim?" "Not everyone will agree with you." "Then please, help me test it!" "Fame can hurt a man." "Fame can also bring much to a man's life." "Mr. Sha, I must do this to keep my title safe from insults." "I'll fulfill your wish." "You have my thanks." "This was something you had to see to believe." "The Pai-mei fist is very fierce." "You'd be killed, even if you tried to protect yourself with the Invincible Armor technique." "You..." "You mean that Shangkuan Cheng is the killer?" "Father, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing." "We're in the province of Chekiang now." "The duel with Yang Chun will be tomorrow." "Are you Yang Chun, the Chekiang Champion?" "Yes." "Do you know why I made such an appointment with you?" "Do you have the confidence to beat me?" "First strike!" "Second strike!" "Perching Swallow!" "Third strike!" "I envy you very much." "Mr. Yang, thank you very much indeed." "Let's go." "W ere you watching the whole time?" "That man is always full of surprises." "He truly is the Kiangnan Champion!" "The other seven champions could never beat him." "Shangkuan Chang is really a brilliant fighter." "You want to be Champion?" "You can't do that unless you beat me, the best in Anhwei." "W e'll see about that." "Just watch, and I'll give you a demonstration." "This technique is called "Monkey Climbing a Tree."" "Don't try and play games with me!" "Monkey Head Defense!" "Monkey Liu, is there anything else you'd like to show me?" "Not really." "His experience makes all the difference in a fight." "How did he win?" "That strange strike he used..." "It seems invincible." "It might be the strongest strike of the Pai-mei Style." "How do you know?" "Everyone knows Shangkuan Cheng is a Teacher of Pai-mei." "Shangkuan Chang is the most powerful fighter." "If you have any desire to learn kung fu, you should try and be his student." "Am I worthy?" "You should have more confidence." "Who are you?" "Me?" "I'm just a man who knows everything, wait and see." "If he turns you down, come and find me at the Han-san Temple." "I'll introduce you to another top fighter." "Another top fighter?" "Hey, good sir!" "You want to cross the river?" "Yes!" "Can your boat really support the five of us?" "You're right, it'd be a dangerous trip with you on board." "You better swim alone." "What?" "You want me to swim?" "Hsiao-chi!" "Teacher?" "You've said too much." "Y-Yes, I..." "I'm sorry, sir." "I was just joking, come on!" "Thank you!" "Wait!" "Excuse me, Teacher..." "Sir, I'm Hsiao..." "Who?" "Hsiao-ying!" "What are you doing?" "I would like to become your student and to serve you." "You may follow me but I don't want to be your Teacher." "I'll be loyal to you!" "I'm ready to face any hardship!" "Please let me follow!" "I can't!" "Let's get on board." "Please listen to me!" "Sir!" "Hsiao-ying!" "Go away!" "A man shouldn't kneel before another man." "Don't you understand?" "Sir!" "Hsiao-Ying!" "Hsiao-Ying, you can't go!" "Hsiao-Ying, don't go!" "Board the boat!" "Yes!" "Don't hold me back!" "Hsiao-ying!" "I want to be a great man." "Don't wait for me, go marry someone else." "I beg you, Hsiao-ying." "Hsiao-ying!" "Sir!" "Hsiao-ying!" "Teacher, look" "He's swimming to us." "Hsiao-ying, you can't go!" "Father!" "Wait for me Sir!" "Please wait for me Sir!" "The sun is really burning." "Father, have some water." "You..." "Please don't mind me." "But..." "I'm just drying my clothes." "Sir, you've said that the sun was burning you." "I wouldn't want to lose my Teacher." "Sir!" "Pal, your behavior is disgusting." "Disgusting?" "I'm just fulfilling a student's obligation." "Shut up!" "He isn't your Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Wait for me!" "Teacher!" "You're just like a worm!" "Teacher, have a piece of chicken." "Father, are we going to stay here tonight?" "Eat up and then get some sleep." "The fourth duel will be tomorrow." "It smells good, but you have no wine to enjoy with it." "Teacher, it's hot!" "Please have some wine." "No thanks." "Okay then." "How do you do?" "I think you all must be feeling cold!" "Have a drink to warm up!" "Have some chicken." "Here, sister." "You want the head?" "Thanks." "It's good for your brain!" "You want some?" "Leave me alone!" "How is the taste?" "It's chicken butt, isn't it?" "Not bad, I'd be foolish not to try it." "You jerk!" "You don't know anything, go away!" "Brother?" "I'm not your brother!" "Get away from me!" "Teacher will surely win!" "Certainly!" "Teacher even looks superior!" "Shut up, he's not your Teacher!" "Mr. Hsuan, let's make sure no one gets hurt!" "All right?" "Yes, I'll do my best." "Yes, please do!" "And you!" "Please forgive me Mr. Hsuan!" "Thanks, you are easily the superior fighter." "That's not necessary, go away!" "Wait for me!" "Wait!" "Excuse me, clerk!" "Welcome." "Are you going to stay here?" "Have you got any first-class rooms?" "Yes, a clean and big room." "Show me this room." "Yes, of course." "Ma'am!" "Ma'am..." "Ma'am, bring me some wine." "Wine?" "Yes, sir!" "Here you go, sir." "Please." "Do you have any medicine?" "No." "He seems very tired." "He must have caught a cold." "We'll take turns looking out for him." "I'll find him a doctor tomorrow morning." "Coming!" "The doctor is here!" "The doctor is here!" "The doctor is here!" "Doctor, wake up..." "Doctor, wake up!" "Wake up!" "You'll be rewarded if you cure him." "I'll go open the door." "Doctor..." "What's going on?" "I've brought a doctor to see Teacher." "He's not your Teacher." "Who asked you to get a doctor?" "This is not your business." "Go away, and take him with you." "He's the one who forced me to come." "The doctor is here, we should just have him look at Father." "Get yourself together and go look after the Teacher." "Yes!" "Is this medicine for Teacher?" "Yes, the doctor told me to boil three bowls down to this one bowl." "Let me have a look." "Give it here, right now!" "Okay, but just a look." "This is not your business." "What are you doing?" "I boiled this medicine." "Fine, take it back if you can." "Will you dare to do it again?" "Give it back!" "Give it back!" "Give it back!" "Give it?" "All right, come and get it!" "I'll take it!" "Ow!" "My medicine!" "Come on, why don't you take it." "All right, I give up!" "You take it to Teacher." "You've given up?" "Fine then, I'll take it." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, just be careful with the medicine." "Yes." "Father." "Teacher!" "Father." "Teacher!" "Why is there no bridge or even a boat?" "W e have to do something about it." "Let's carry Teacher over on our backs." "No more nonsense!" "But..." "Go away." "We can't risk getting the Teacher wet." "I know!" "Sister, you stay here with Teacher." "Second Brother, Third Brother, come with me!" "Yes!" "Father, have a rest." "Sister, don't let Teacher touch the water." "Of course." "You should let Teacher have a longer rest." "Hurry!" "Let me help you!" "Go away!" "Sister, bring Teacher over there." "Let's go, move." "Father, let's go." "Bring Teacher here, Sister!" "Okay." "Sister!" "Sister, wait..." "Sister, I'm stronger." "Let me carry Teacher." "Okay." "Be careful." "I will." "Father!" "Father!" "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Father!" "Teacher!" "Father!" "Teacher!" "Father!" "Brother, hurry..." "Teacher!" "Teacher..." "Teacher..." "Father!" "Teacher!" "Father..." "Teacher!" "Father!" "Father!" "Teacher!" "Father, are you all right?" "Are you all right?" "Father!" "Teacher!" "Teacher, I didn't mean it." "It was just a mistake!" "Brother..." "You've done it now!" "You've done it now!" "You fool, are you just going to stand here all night?" "You're a fool, but you have guts." "Thank you for forgiving me, Teacher!" "What is the situation?" "Teacher, Sun Hung is expecting you at noon tomorrow." "Good." "Sit down, and let's eat." "Yes!" "You mean your Father still won't accept me as his student?" "I've mentioned it to him but, he refused." "I think you better leave." "No, I must persist." "He has three students, what's one more?" "That's different, Father understands them very will." "He knows their backgrounds also." "That's easy, he'll learn more about me in time." "I believe that your father will change his mind." "Father..." "He's right, I have three students." "What's one more?" "Father, will you change your mind?" "Ming-chu, I am simply afraid of making a mistake and taking in a vagabond." "It's a lesson I'll never forget from my Teacher, thirty years ago." "Shangkuan Chang!" "Come with me." "Yes, sir." "Teacher!" "Shangkuan Chang, you must keep it safe!" "Destroy it if you can't find a student to pass it on to." "So that..." "The vagabond will not steal it..." "Teacher, your body..." "It's hopeless now." "I'm poisoned and there's no way out." "Teacher, who did this?" "Don't blame anybody!" "I must kill him!" "Don't blame anybody!" "I must kill him!" "It's my fault." "Remember the twelve strikes of Pai-mei are all connected." "Teacher..." "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Teacher, I'll remember." "I'll keep the twelve strikes of Pai-mei well." "So my Teacher was killed by his own rogue student." "Father, who was that vagabond?" "Who has taken the last three strikes of Pai-mei?" "If I'm right, it was that man..." "Father, who are you talking about?" "Your uncle, Ku l-feng." "What?" "I have been searching for those three strikes all of these years." "I've no intention of taking any more students." "I understand." "But he's very sincere, can you..." "That's enough, don't talk about it anymore." "It's late now, go to sleep." "Father..." "Go to bed!" "Who is it?" "Tea for you!" "Come in!" "Yes." "Your tea." "Teacher, are you okay?" "Father, are you all right?" "Who told you to come here?" "Speak!" "I-lt was Sun-Hung!" "Hold it!" "Release him, he couldn't refuse his orders." "Go." "Teacher!" "Teacher, are you hurt?" "Sun Hung, you dare send somebody to kill me?" "That was despicable!" "I just wanted to protect my title as Hubei Champion." "To save your title, you risked your good name." "Good bye." "Here you go." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Next is Hunan and then Kwangsi." "I will fight them, win or lose!" "Sir..." "No, Teacher, you'll surely win!" "We'll stay here the night." "Hsiao-chi, let me ask you a question." "Why was Sun Hung defeated?" "Because you were superior." "Be more serious!" "What were his vital weakness?" "I know!" "You know?" "Well, I have a guess, anyway." "I'll let you be my student if you're correct." "Sun Hung is good at all kinds of kung fu but he doesn't specialize in one style or another." "Yes, different weapons have different advantages." "A wise man will choose the one most suitable for him and then specialize in that weapon." "You just can't digest all of them in one lifetime." "Thank you for your teaching." "Come here." "You really want to learn from me?" "I'm sincerely looking forward to it." "Then, tell me your full name." "I'm Hsia Hsiao-ying." "Hsia Hsiao-ying?" "Where did you get that name?" "I, well..." "How old are you?" "Where are you from?" "What other relatives do you have?" "I'm 21, my home is at Nanyang." "I'm an orphan." "All right, I'm satisfied." "I'll grant your wish." "Thank you, Teacher!" "Wait." "I've got three conditions for you." "What are they?" "I'll do my best!" "First, don't start a fight lightly." "Yes!" "Second, always keep courtesy and righteousness foremost in your mind." "Yes!" "Third, don't kill anybody unless it's unavoidable." "Can you follow these three conditions?" "Yes, I promise you!" "Get up." "Greet your brothers and your sister." "Sister!" "Pleased to meet you." "Take this, you're the youngest!" "You carry everything!" "Hurry up!" "You've got to exert yourself, it's not supposed to be easy!" "Yes!" "Go!" "Our next destination is Hunnan." "We've got ten more days before we'll get there." "Teacher wants us to practice hard." "Today, I'll teach our new brother a strike." "Brother, you will teach me?" "Yes." "You attack me first!" "That is the Rolling Mule technique!" "You're too much!" "Let me teach him." "All right, go ahead." "Get up!" "Don't you want to learn?" "Come on, hit me!" "Again?" "Falling to the Ground is an important falling technique." "They're just playing with you." "Let me teach you." "That technique is called the Lying Body!" "I won't give you a lesson." "All I can tell you is to always stand up when you fall." "Did you hear?" "Always get up when you're down!" "Let's practice." "Focus!" "Yes!" "Brother, my foot!" "Your footwork is terrible, try it again." "Again!" "Too weak!" "You're not good material for learning kung fu." "Sze-jun, you are truly a Mantis Fist Teacher." "So, this is all Shangkuan Chang can do!" "Don't be too proud!" "How was that?" "No one is invincible." "A good fighter shouldn't be proud." "I'll stop wandering when I've met Chao Lung." "Teacher!" "I'm going to retire soon." "Teacher, where is Chao Lung?" "In the Dragon and Tiger House of Kwangsi." "W e still have 450 miles to go." "The roads are craggy and you are not feeling well." "I think we better not go." "I can't back down now." "Father, is this meeting so important?" "Yes, Chao Lung is the champion of all of the Southern provinces." "All this is meaningless if I haven't challenged him." "Father!" "Try to practice with Hsiao Ying." "See what he has learned!" "Yes!" "That's enough!" "Third Brother, why don't you spar against Hsiao Ying?" "Third Brother!" "Watch out!" "Third Brother, are you all right?" "Let me try!" "Sister, you'll have a try!" "Sister, I can't!" "Come on!" "Get up!" "Just forget the fact she's a girl!" "What are you afraid of?" "What happens if your opponent is really a girl?" "But she's not a..." "Sister!" "Sister, let me do it, if he's not willing!" "I'll surely beat you within half a year!" "Execute the Turning Wheel!" "The Antelope Leaving the Cave!" "The Cicada Shedding its Skin!" "The Dragon's Tail!" "The Tiger Capturing the Dragon!" "Buddha Standing on His Hands!" "The Perching Swallow!" "The Downstream Current!" "He's sleeping." "Let's go have some fun with him." "Good idea." "Pal, you can resist a little now." "A mouse can sometimes beat the cat." "Sure, but now I'm going to put the mouse back in his place." "How did that feel?" "How is my fist now?" "I remembered your Lying Body technique." "W ell, your fist really is powerful!" "I've also Teachered Falling to the Ground." "Big Brother, watch out." "There's your Rolling the Mule technique." "People as weak as you three aren't good material for learning kung fu." "You've beaten the champions from all of the provinces." "Congratulations." "No, I haven't dueled you yet, Mr. Chao." "I won't fight you." "Why?" "Your face looks pale, I think you're sick." "But I must challenge you!" "If you insist, I do have an idea." "Do you?" "What's it?" "We'll each send three students as our representatives." "Good, it shall be as you say." "I'll send out my students first." "Nan-fei!" "Yes!" "Tang-min!" "Yes!" "Mr. Shangkuan, you've lost this time." "Yung-chang, you go!" "Yes!" "Nan-lin!" "Yes!" "Well, you want to try to kill me?" "Small Head, you should give up now!" "Once we fight, you'll fall easily." "Small Head, all you'll do is embarrass your Teacher." "Don't look down on me." "I'll let all three of you attack me together." "Maybe that'll be more fair." "If I beat you myself, maybe you'll understand." "Good, try it then!" "I thought you said you could do this yourself?" "Go!" "What, you can't wait?" "Well, you better all attack at once!" "You should have done this in the first place!" "Go!" "Do you give up?" "Yes!" "And you?" "Do you give up?" "Yes, I give up!" "Hold it." "Great students from a great Teacher." "Mr. Shangkuan, you're really the champion now, there is no doubt." "Not at all, he was just lucky." "Father, we have won!" "Yes, it's all because of Hsiao-ying." "I'm satisfied with my seven victories over the past two years." "Ming-chu, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing..." "Father, I just want to go home." "Go home?" "Yes, let's go home." "I'm a man of righteousness and also of benevolence." "I never used force to oppress the weak." "That's why His Majesty gave me this honor." "I now invite you to be my witnesses..." "For the next fortnight, I'm ready to accept any challenge." "After then, I will retire with this title, Champion of Kiangnan." "Retire?" "Who'll be in charge then?" "Please keep quiet." "The Righteous Door will not be closed." "Let me introduce you to a brilliant student who joined us during our great journey." "He's Tsia Hsiao-ying." "Go!" "Go, go!" "Go!" "I..." "Uncle Liu!" "Uncle Liu!" "Uncle Liu!" "Tell me who killed my father!" "Tell me!" "I can't tell you." "Why?" "I'll tell you when you're strong enough." "Who is he?" "Uncle Liu!" "Uncle Liu!" "I, Hsiao Ying, have returned." "As a top fighter!" "Good, marvelous." "I want to know who has killed my father!" "Please tell me!" "But I am afraid that you won't be able to defeat him!" "I don't care!" "Who is he?" "Shangkuan Chang of the Righteous Door!" "Shangkuan Chang?" "Yes, I saw it." "You still remember me?" "You told me to find you if I wanted to be invincible!" "Me?" "I've got nothing to teach you." "I must beat a certain man!" "What?" "My father had a duel with Shangkuan Chang..." "It was supposed to be a friendly match!" "But, he killed my father!" "It'll be very difficult to beat him." "Only one man could possibly win." "Please tell me!" "Fine, I will introduce you to him." "Thank you." "What have you learnt from Shangkuan Chang?" "The nine strikes of Pai-mei!" "The nine strikes of Pai-mei?" "He's the champion now because of his skill with those nine strikes." "You will show these nine strikes to me." "Although those strikes are all very powerful..." "They can't resist my three supreme strikes." "Pai-mei's three supreme strikes?" "That's right." "No one can teach you them except me!" "Please teach me!" "Teacher!" "Teacher." "Congratulations!" "The Champion of Kiangnan..." "W ell, tomorrow..." "No, today after the ceremony, I will retire." "That means the title of Champion of Kiangnan will no longer exist!" "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Teacher, something has happened." "What is it?" "Hsiao-ying is coming here under the flag of the Chentien School." "Teacher!" "Hsiao-ying, you tried to become my student just so you could do this?" "Please forgive me." "Why do you want to challenge me?" "My name is Sha Hsiao-hu." "My father, Sha Chentien had a duel with you..." "You said you only wished to compare your kung fu with his." "But, you killed him instead!" "No, I didn't kill him!" "Young Teacher, he did, I'm sure." "I saw it!" "I've sworn to avenge my father's death!" "Have you forgotten who your Teacher is?" "I didn't know you're the one who killed my father." "Please excuse me." "I've told you, I didn't kill your father!" "Why don't you believe me?" "When I left your father after our duel on that day I heard someone cry out." "There was a masked man who killed your father." "I struck his ribs in an instant..." "However, he ran off." "That's all that happened." "I don't believe you." "Hsiao-ying, you're a stubborn fellow." "You don't deserve to be a student of the Righteous Door." "W e can take care of that later." "I must take revenge for my father right now." "But you've found the wrong man." "I have also spent much of my time looking for that assassin." "Shangkuan Chang, don't deny it." "Teacher Sha died in front of you, with his face covered in blood..." "I saw it!" "I must take revenge for my father." "I can't let you go." "Hsiao-ying, do you really want to kill me?" "I have no other choice" "W ell, I'll do as you wish." "Teacher, let me take care of him." "Yung-chang, stand back." "Teacher, watch out!" "The Eagle Captures the Chicken!" "Who taught you that strike?" "The Mantis Turns its Body!" "Father!" "Father..." "Teacher..." "Don't come any closer!" "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Who taught you this?" "Sir!" "Why don't you kill him?" "You're wasting my time!" "Is it you?" "Are you Ku l-feng?" "The scar across your ribs, you killed Sha Chentien!" "Yes!" "I am known as Ku l-feng and Shang Pu-yun also!" "I am the one who killed Sha Chentien!" "You what?" "Thirty years ago, our Teacher entrusted to him the twelve strikes of Pai-mei." "I was very disappointed that I wasn't his successor." "I stole the last three strikes and ran away." "I took Shangkuan Cheng's retirement as an opportunity." "I killed Sha Chentien and put the blame on him." "Then, I convinced you to learn under him, so that..." "You'd both end up killing each other." "So this was your plot from the very beginning." "Indeed." "But this idiot won't dare to kill you." "Now, I've got to do it myself!" "Teacher!" "Remember, all the Pai-mei strikes are connected." "Hsiao-ying, listen to me." "The Tiger Capturing the Dragon!" "The Cicada Shedding its Skin!" "The Dragon's Tail!" "Buddha Standing on His Hands!" "Walking on Air!" "Teacher!" "Teacher!" "Father!"
