The Deadly Breaking Sword (Feng liu duan jian xiao xiao dao / 风流断剑小小刀)

Heroes come and go in the martial arts world.

It's a far and long way to travel.

Many undiscovered talents.

The broken sword glitters like frost and snow.

The little dagger begins to shine.

Their reputation is known everywhere.

Suddenly a spring thunder,

an uproar in a small town.

Destined enemies will be met.

Competition in the open and in the dark.

Put it clown,

turn around.

Yes, turn it around.

Not a lot, but enough for you to have a few drinks.

Come to get the body before dawn, leave now.

Yes.

General's Temple.

Coffin of Lian San, the Throat-piercing halberd.

Seeing is believing.

Always arrives before the challenger.

Always in a new set of clothing.

Always has a coffin for the challenger

besides you.

"The Legendary" Yuan Changcflng.

Yes. If I change my style, then I...

can't live up to my name "The Deadly Breaking Sword".

Also I do this

because this is a death duel,

not a game.

And I respect you as a fellow martial arts expert,

I can't bear your body to be sun-fried & eaten by dogs.

Don't be so sure.

Let me ask you,

I've heard that you'll cut off an inch of your sword

every time you've killed someone, is that true?

One's reputation is justified,

but often rumors are rumors.

I won't cut off the sword myself,

instead I'd jab my sword into the opponent's bone,

let it break off an inch, and leave it in the wound.

You're too arrogant.

Not exactly.

I've reached the peak at my swordplay.

The better I get, the prouder and more brave I become.

Pride is the key support to a swordsman,

it's the swordsman's soul.

And have you heard about

how many throats I've pierced with this halberd?

No.

Listen up.

You will be terrified if I tell you the exact numbers,

over one hundred is only an estimate.

That's quite a number,

but I guess they're all nobodies.

For me it's different,

those who died under this sword

were all famous martial arts experts,

just like you, Lian San.

You have the chance to see

this sword before you die,

you can rest in peace.

Pawn Shop.

Don't touch me! I'm going to gamble.

Rui Xiang Gamble House.

Earth God, I've pawned my things, hoping to come back.

You must help me no matter what,

I lost terribly last time.

Please don't joke around with me, thank you...

Let me borrow this.

What's wrong with you?

Those are mine!

No credit, no borrowing.

Open.

Open.

Excuse me... excuse me...

Xiao Dao, you're looking good today.

That's true! I look like a winner today.

Come on... 0Ioen.

No credits, admit defeats when lost.

Uncle, Xiao Dao is here again,

we must try to keep him here this time.

Do you know what this is'?

For him?

Place your bets...

Open.

Boss Luo...

Xiao Dao.

What can I do for you, Boss Luo'?

You're really something.

Our gamble house has been around for almost 50 years,

you're the first.

What do you mean?

Look at that.

No credits, no borrowing.

You should understand now?

No matter what, the answer is NO today.

You must pay us your debt of 170 taels of silver,

before you can gamble again.

You want me to hang myself?

Hang yourself? Even that won't solve the problem.

I don't care if you're dead,

but where should we go to collect your debt?

Fine, I'm the wager, I don't have any money.

But we've never done this before.

Alright, we'll do you a special favor.

Jinhua, how much do you think he's worth?

Miss Luo, take a closer look.

Look at me! Big ears! Chubby,

it's a prosperous face.

At least 750 taels of silver.

That's crazy! Have you gone nuts?

Mad.

Alright, a discount then...

Five hundred will do.

Uncle, I think this is reasonable.

How should we gamble?

One game, if I win,

write off my debt, and I'll take the rest.

And if I lose so unfortunately,

I'll work as a handyman and guard here,

until I've money to redeem myself, so'?

Deal.

Let us finish this game first?

Yes, exactly.

Where's Boss Luo'?

Over there.

We're here once every six months.

You know the drill, Boss Luo, hand us the money.

Whoever resists can go meet the King of Hell.

Meet the King of Hell...

Sir, we can talk, there's no need for violence.

Master Diao Qi...

Don't worry, I'm here. No one'd dare make any trouble.

Shuffle.

Of 365 clays in a year you had to pick today!

I'm here for a come back,

and you're here to extort.

If I lose,

you three are over.

Shuffle.

What? The same as me'?

We're family.

But I'm a senior, I'm the King of Monkeys.

Ready.

Sure.

Come on.

Throw...

You...

Your turn.

What do you think?

It's good.

Really?

Come on.

Good one, Boss Luo.

Mine isn't bad.

Go to hell.

What are you laughing at'?

Eight.

A narrow win.

You have to sign the contract as a proof.

Alright, I'm unlucky.

Bad luck.

Sign it.

Come on, I'll show you where you sleep.

You don't seem like a local.

I'm not, but I've lived here for a while.

What's your real name?

Poor, untalented Xiao Dao.

Xiao Dao'? That's a strange name.

As long as I'm not strange.

You tidy up the room,

Miss Liu will arrive in a few clays, hurry.

The pander of Lixiang Brothel.

Is that her'?

Don't call her that.

Pander...

You little piece of shit,

you can't call me that.

Old pander...

So,

what if I do? Old pander...

Stop it.

This place has good feng shui.

Food, drinks, gambling and whoring.

Listen up.

There're many scoundrels around,

you better be careful, girls.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Listen carefully, Xiao Dao.

You've signed, you belong to the gamble house.

You will listen to my uncle,

but you must listen to me.

Why?

Because my father

left the gambling house to me,

I'm the real boss.

My uncle only helps me to manage it.

After I've found...

Your husband.
