The 7 Grandmasters (虎豹龙蛇鹰)

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, l...

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!
