Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Guo Jing is my name.

Son of Songs.

Raised in the time of turmoil.

Song ended...

...in the conquest of Jins.

THE JINS

Dynasty fell.

Two sovereigns of Song

captured by the Jins...

...in the infamous Jingkang Incident.

Song perished.

The remnant force moved south

called Southern Song.

With its feeble resistance...

...coerced to call the Jins uncle.

Paying them triples annually.

Sadly, most of the high officials...

...were swayed and secured by Jins.

The Jins was constantly expanding...

...and acted wantonly.

But not all...

...submitted to them.

THE MONGOLS

In the north...

...the Mongol Khan

had unified all the clans.

To fight against subjugations,

Mongolia...

...united the tribes of the Grassland...

...and launched an army...

...to defend their land...

...against the Jins' dominion.

To arms!

Bowmen alert!

Target their left wing.

sh**t!

I grew up in Mongolia...

...and witnessed many battles there.

Scatter hence, left and right!

The Mongols are

experts in their archery.

General, their arrows

can penetrate our armor!

We are three times as many!

How could they possibly

gain the upper hand?

Attention to their left flank!

Quick!

Aim at their vital parts!

sh**t at will!

The Jins' vanguard has faltered.

Attack their commander position!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Hold!

A contingent of their

host has breached.

Assign them to our

hindmost horsemen.

Affirmative.

Who's there?

Ambush!

sh**t!

Damn it!

My arrow missed?

I'm not an enemy.

- Check him out.

- Yes, sir!

Merely a transient...

...in quest of a friend.

How do you speak

the Mongol tongue?

Who the hell are you?

My name is Guo Jing,

nurtured amongst the Mongols.

My mother abides

in the Grasslands.

Whom do you seek?

A girl from Middle Land.

w*r has rent us asunder.

The Jin clarions sound beneath.

We must make haste in pursuit.

Hey!

It's too dangerous here.

Leave now!

It will soon rain. We

light incense for them.

Huang Rong why have

so many died here?

You just returned

to Middle Land.

Said you wish to find out

what "the martial realm" truly is?

Look.

Gangs fight for territories...

...bearing grievous

tolls for power, fame,

vengeance, greed and hate.

Same as the Grassland.

Only it's called w*r.

You came from the secluded

island well shielded by your father.

You sneaked out to this.

Do you not fear?

Don't tie me to my father.

What's up?

I told you!

We light incense for them.

Incense?

No incense can

be lit in the rain!

Just follow me.

What is the spear for?

Wait!

Protecting me?

It is too perilous.

We must leave.

Thunder strikes yonder.

We are safe here.

Do not tempt fate.

- Let's go.

- Wait.

Didn't you say you

have seven Si-fu?

You're here to

learn combat skills.

What for?

Look! It is alight.

A merciful offering for them.

Merciful offering.

They would never have thought a

stranger would pay them homage.

Though we just met,

I find you truly remarkable.

Did you not ask

why I learn the skill?

My father named me Jing to

remind me of the shame of Jingkang.

So I must learn how to

fight to protect my people.

But I'm not good

enough as a disciple.

But no matter what, I'd

die to protect my homeland.

Then you too must shield me, or

else you'll be cursed by the lightning.

Don't worry.

Lightning shall have no chance.

What is this?

Among my talents I'm

a genius in culinary art.

This is my famous dish.

Peach Blossom Wine

Chicken. Taste and judge.

I thought this was a respectful

act to pay them homage!

Absolutely respectful!

But then why waste the chicken?

Don't follow tedious rules.

Rules are for

pretentious people.

I can take you around.

You'll see rules are

excuses. What say you?

I knew it not then that

this strange maiden...

...would be entwined

with my fate...

...for the rest of my life.

Jing-ge! Keep up!

Because of her,

Guo Jing became Jing-ge.

Coming! Rong-er!

Because of him, Huang

Rong became Rong-er.

Jing, if you still regard us,

the Seven Odds, as your Si-fu,

then heed my words.

The world is perilous.

Stay away from the rule less!

You're here to learn from us.

But I hear you've been

consorting with that little hussy.

Hussy?

How many times have I said it?

Her father, Heretic East,

is eccentric and maleficent.

Furthermore, Peach Blossom

Island, where he dwells,

is laden with deadly traps.

Many have died there.

Never go there!

You are fundamentally

feeble and also mindless.

How can you become a worthy man?

Reflect on this.

Yes, Si-fu.

Until then, you

shall come with us.

Brother, would he

comprehend by simply kneeling?

Definitely not.

It will take years.

Then, patient we must be.

CHAOHU IRON GATE

LOYALTY AND STRONGNESS

The father of that

maiden is Heretic East.

Cease consorting with her.

Rong-er, don't mimic my Si-fu.

Your Si-fu are

boring combatants.

Their weapon can't

even touch their foes'.

You are wasting time.

At best, you will

be just like them.

Nothing wrong with that.

Don't judge by skill.

You should respect

their righteousness.

And to master a single art is

already quite commendable.

Single?

Is that truly enough?

Don't you wish to

learn greater skills?

My foundation is weak and I

struggle to find good methods.

Fear not. I shall take

you to meet someone.

He is one of the Five

Greats. The Northern beggar.

The Eighteen Dragon Palms.

The Dragon Soar.

Change positions in the

air, attacking from high up.

Eggplant braised with asparagus.

Sauteed chicken

liver with chicken feet.

Two Dragons Fetch Water.

Launch your palms, idiot.

Both left and right!

This dish is good.

This one is also good.

Continue teaching

and I'll continue cooking.

Wonderful!

Slow teaching is good!

I can eat more of your dishes.

Dragon in the Field.

Target the foe's lower body.

Surprise dish?

Peach blossom wine chicken,

a famous dish from me.

Peach blossom wine chicken.

What fragrance and taste!

Do not tarry there!

The Dragon Soar.

Raise your palms

and strike with power.

Raise your palms! Your palms!

Strike with your palms! Strike!

You're totally palmless!

That's great! Flat fall.

Hasten your

practice! No slacking!

Silly lad.

Heed the old man.

When you can no longer

retreat, never forget...

...one more move

from the last palms.

The Dragon Quake.

You can strike through objects.

The Dragon Quake.

Strike the ox...

...through the mountain!

Score!

You gained some points!

I shall save the

chicken butt for you.

Jing-ge.

Tell me about the Grassland?

The Grassland...

You shall visit it with me.

There are not

many rules as here.

Blue sky, white clouds,

vast and open. Simple people.

There, sworn brothers in

Mongolian are called Anda.

Sure, I'll go.

This pinwheel is for you.

Rong-er, hereafter

should fate separate us,

this pinwheel shall

mark my whereabouts.

By this, you shall follow

my trail to look for me.

Remember should

there be a stone nearby...

...carve a mark on it

to be certain it is you.

What mark shall I carve?

What's "fool" in Mongol tongue?

Meneg.

What?

Meneg.

Meneg.

The tail of the sign will

mark my onward direction.

So be it.

The world may be vast,

but our paths shall not diverge.

But sometimes paths diverge

not because of the vast land,

but by the entrapment

of the rules.

We were separated.

Jing, heed your Si-fu.

Peach Blossom Island where he

dwells is laden with deadly traps.

Many have died there.

Never go there!

Si-fu!

Why did you look for me

on Peach Blossom Island?

Your vengeance shall be mine.

I should not have

come to this island!

I should not have come!

I should not have come!

- Jing-ge.

- I should not have come!

Kneeling for two days,

you must be hungry.

My Si-fu only sought me here.

Why did your father k*ll them?

Trust me.

My father is not on the island.

Peach Blossom

Island claims him lord.

Should he be innocent,

who bears guilt?

Jing-ge, be calm.

Your grand Si-fu

remains unfound. Should...

Should he still be alive,

he should know the truth.

- We shall seek him together.

- Don't say anything...

- ...to your father.

- We shall seek him together.

The grand Si-fu was right.

We must sever

from ill-suited folks.

Please, trust me.

You shall never be with me.

Cease your pursuit.

Abide on your Peach

Blossom Island.

I would fain not

see you evermore.

In but a moment, all

blossoms lost their hue.

Thereafter, I found

the grand Si-fu.

He said that Heretic

East was not on the island.

So the m*rder*r could

not have been him.

Rong-er...

Now w*r is raging everywhere.

Where exactly are you?

I have sought you in all

your haunts, yet you are lost.

Til the ends of the earth.

In time, our paths

shall cross again.

LEGENDS OF THE CONDOR

HEROES: THE GALLANTS

Jing-ge, since our parting,

I have been searching for you.

Yet along the way,

burned green fields...

...led me to a w*r zone.

Only then did I realize...

...w*r was the worst of all.

What's more dreadful is

gangs blend in the military,

covering on profits and power.

Hidden behind me...

...was the demon of the

g*ng world with his minions.

This man, the most dreaded

among the Five Greats,

is the Venom West.

All calamities stem from

a peerless martial tome,

The Novem Scripture.

THE BOOK OF NINE YIN

He who obtains this tome...

...may become the

ultimate combatant...

...and invincible in w*r.

CHAOHU IRON GATE

If it falls into the

wrong hands,

it will bring Armageddon,

vast devastation.

Uncle Venom West,

as an acme master...

...bullying a junior

is most ungainly.

Where is Guo Jing?

Are you not inseparable?

Tell me, where's

the Novem Scripture.

My cuties are starving.

Once fed,

you will be

untraceable by Jing-ge.

He was weak once,

yet he of all men...

...mastered the Novem Force.

Now his inner force has grown.

I am the ultimate on earth.

The Novem Scripture

should belong to me.

Bullshit.

Previously when you battled

Jing-ge, did he defeat you soundly?

Once he comes, you

shall beg on your knees.

Is it true? Did you

hear the wench?

Our Venom West was crushed.

What is the Novem Scripture?

I have the scripture...

...but it is all in my head.

- Careful!

- Jesting at death's door.

He has abandoned you,

yet you shield him still.

This matter concerns you not.

Cease stalling. Recite it now.

Who is it?

Pardon me.

A Mongol troop is in transit.

Shall we assess their strength?

Be gone from here!

Handle such trifles yourself.

Linger not by the casement.

Yonder individual who

failed in Middle Land...

...now serves as a Jins' lackey.

Coward!

You survive by

pleasing the Jins.

You are worse than a dog.

Venom West, she now chides you.

Can you endure such affront?

She spits poison words,

yet pales to our poison.

The Mystic One, your

trinket is now of use.

This one, the Lethal

Ring, is quite amusing.

Encased is a tiny lethal snake.

Should you break it, the

snake is swift as lightning.

Death is instant, with

ugly distorted face.

Whose cutie is more deadly?

We shall do it thus. I shall

recite it to the stronger one.

Do you wish to know the

contents of the Novem Scripture?

Within it lie powerful

martial secrets.

Even your leader, Venom West,

ever so self-important,

yearns its acquisition.

See?

Speechless.

Pretending loyalty.

Your minions are all ears.

Then I shall recite it.

- The first form of the Novem Force...

- Hold your tongue!

XIANG WU

Such an ado.

Greed for secrets has

made you three monkeys.

Your brains are my meals.

Long have I not feasted.

Brains must be eaten

once opened, lest they spoil.

But skewered and roasted,

they last two days more.

Be calm! We come to aid you.

The wench is running away!

The wench is running away!

- Venom West cannot swim.

- Laugh not!

Bring her back.

To be the ultimate,

I must acquire the

Novem Scripture.

I shall be invincible.

The Owl, you are

hiding behind the wall.

Should the wench remain elusive,

your brain shall be the first I devour.

The Mongol banners.

You Mongol soldiers

drank my poison in the river.

Hold your movements, one

and all, lest the toxin intensifies.

Your doom is nigh.

Waste no time.

Today, by my hand,

you are brought low.

Henceforth, obey my words.

Put this on.

I shall take you

as a gift to the Jins.

You are the Khan's...

TOLUI, THE 4TH PRINCE

...favorite fourth son, Tolui.

Anda.

JEBE, MONGOL GENERAL

Guo Jing. It's Guo Jing.

Don't move, you all.

Guo Jing has grown powerful.

You poisoned the river.

Surrender the antidote

and I shall spare your life.

Beware his toxic gas!

You inhaled my poison gas.

You shall die a horrid death.

What is this?

The Novem Force?

Venom West is seeking this.

Anda Tolui. Master Jebe.

Anda, are you all right?

Your arrival is most opportune.

There are Jin troops nearby.

I shall use my

inner force first...

...to dispel the

poison within you.

The Mongolians have caught up!

Speed up!

Jin army, heed my command!

Retreat to Ding An!

Hasten!

RETREAT OF 50,000 JIN TROOPS

We're about to enter the canyon!

Stop them!

Hurry, hide quickly!

Wench, come forth!

Wench!

Wench, come forth!

Stand aside.

Just don't look at them!

What ails you? It is not her.

- What are you doing?

- Fool.

This wench is quite sneaky.

Robbers! Bandits!

We found naught.

Wench!

On land...

Even if you can fly you

won't escape my grasp.

She wears the Lethal Ring.

She shall not run far.

What is this commotion?

The Jin army is here.

Don't you dare!

Playing tough?

You! Turn around if you dare.

Go back the way you fled then

come back and speak to me.

You pitiful dog! Do

you know who this is?

His rank is above your marshal.

The court adviser of your lord!

Known as Venom West!

Court adviser?

Never heard of him.

A bunch of rogues

daring to deceive me?

Step aside!

Stand aside.

Go eat dung!

Feed their hearts to the swine.

Charge!

You troop of monkeys

try to block my way.

Run!

Anda.

Two years ago, your Si-fu

took you to Middle Land.

We worried about you.

Now you've become so powerful!

You were heading this way to

return to find us, weren't you?

And what do you

hold in your hand?

A pinwheel.

Master Jebe.

Anda.

I got lost with a friend.

I have come here to find her.

This is the token

I left for her...

...hoping she might see it.

Now, with w*r raging everywhere,

is it truly easy

to find someone?

Jing, the Jins hired

many Middle Land experts.

They shall continue

to ambush us.

Return with us henceforth.

The Khan's camp is near.

And your mother.

Since you left, she

has waited outside daily,

gazing where you went,

awaiting your return.

You are already

here. Go and see them.

On the way, we shall

plan how to find your friend.

Adorn yourself with this.

Anda, we shall return

to the Grassland.

Wench!

He has abandoned you,

yet you shield him still.

Now who will protect you?

Rong-er, I promised

to protect you.

But I let you get hurt!

It's all my fault.

Jing-ge, I do not fear

being hurt by experts.

I fear that the cure will fail

and I will lose you forever.

I will find a way to save you.

Rong-er, we have hope.

Ahead lies Monk

Sole Light's retreat.

We have hope.

Mistress Huang,

your Qi is blocked...

...and your lung

meridian is damaged.

We must use the Novem Force...

...to unblock your

blood vessels.

We shall learn together...

...the healing techniques

within the scripture.

In times of peril,

it may save lives.

In these turbulent times,

chaos and strife abound.

The Novem Scripture...

...brings bloodshed

in the martial realm.

Both benefactors,

since you have

procured this scripture,

you must protect it,

lest it fall into the

hands of wicked people.

You may leave now.

Rong-er, whatever trials ahead,

I shall always protect you.

A promise is a promise.

I hold it in my heart.

If someday we are separated,

I'll leave behind this pinwheel.

Follow its trail to look for me.

Should there be a stone

nearby, carve a mark on it;

then I'll be certain it's you.

What mark shall I carve?

What's "fool" in Mongol tongue?

- Meneg.

- Fool.

The tail of the sign will

be my onward direction.

Jing-ge.

The world is vast, but

we won't stay separated.

MONGOL BASE CAMP

Revere the great natural laws.

Guo Jing is back!

Guo Jing is back!

Footprints across

rivers, lakes and seas.

Guo Jing!

Heroes create

wonders with great ease.

Brothers!

Brothers!

The Great Khan arrives.

Heroes' resilience,

unconquered might

Immortal name,

shining in the night

Great Khan, my father, I'm back.

My son.

You have grown strong.

You long for the Great Khan?

Where is the golden knife

I gave you when you left?

It is always by my side.

Your brothers

hold you dear daily,

yet your return tarried.

Guo Jing has made

our kin concerned.

I shall accept the

Khan's chastisement.

Indeed!

Great Khan, may I be excused?

Mother, forgive me

for my long departure.

I let you return to Middle Land;

did you visit your father's abode?

Did you find your father's tomb?

Forget not, for

this is your root.

Mother, your health.

Fortunate is your return.

Wench!

Your end has come!

By the heavens!

Oh, my sweet mercy!

Ah, damn!

Move.

Princess Huajun

is back from Harijin.

Lower the ramparts.

Lower the ramparts.

Princess Huajun is back.

Enemies from behind!

Increase the vigilance!

Stop.

I don't like the look of it.

Should we storm in?

Look at this setup.

Their Great Khan must be within.

With such a display, there

must be heavy troops inside.

Why fear? We have Venom West.

Court adviser, in my opinion,

where you master

the Novem Force...

...we should act with caution.

What say you?

Huang Rong holds

the Novem Scripture.

Sneak into their camp,

poison the water.

Their troops will collapse.

Who were those people

trying to capture you?

Emissaries of the Jins.

They think I possess a

certain matter they pursue.

Princess, the medicine.

I am Huajun. What is your name?

Huang Rong.

You are fluent in our language.

I had a good teacher.

But he returned to Middle Land.

Princess, all venomous

darts are extracted.

Now the ring.

Princess, the

brimstone is ready.

I shall cut the ring.

The threat is gone.

Clean yourself, then I

shall apply the salve.

Why do they call you Abaga?

What is the meaning?

"Abaga" is Mongolian

for "princess."

What is that in your hand?

You bring it all the way up?

Pinwheel.

- May I have it?

- Not this one!

The one I seek left it for me.

Truly stingy!

My fire sickle. I

shall give it to you.

Princess, he is back.

- Really?

- Yes.

Then I shall get ready!

Get ready, Princess.

What's the matter?

The teacher I mentioned is back.

Teacher?

What is his name?

Guo Jing. We shall be wed soon.

Father Khan has always

aspired for a union between us.

Jing, you've been

gone for two years.

It is time to pass on your

father's belongings to you.

This robe...

I now give it to you.

Remember your father's

name is Guo Xiaotian.

Twenty years ago, to

avenge the Jingkang Incident,

he became a thorn in the

side of those bribed by the Jins.

Facing multiple ambushes,

your father was beset by them.

He fell victim to their blades.

REMEMBERING BELOVED HUSBAND

GUO XIAOTIAN

May my father's spirit in

heaven bless his child...

...to cleanse the

shame and avenge you.

Huajun. Get off.

Get off.

Get rid of me? Impossible!

Huajun, I'm paying

homage to my father!

Get off. Wait for me outside.

Your homage is paid.

You never change. You

always make me angry.

Look!

See! They have all grown up.

But you have not.

You still look

like a little girl.

Nourish yourself.

You have returned.

That is great.

- Huajun.

- I got something to tell...

You first, then.

Guo Jing, Father Khan has

bestowed marriage on us.

Post nuptials...

Princess Huajun.

Post nuptials, shall we

abide here or go to Middle...

Huajun, although

we grew up together,

a marriage is not in my sight.

Must I, perforce, marry you?

Then, forget about

it. Don't regret.

No, Huajun, you are mistaken.

I never thought of it at all.

Cause my elder

brothers bullied you?

After we get married,

Father Khan shall shield you.

Huajun, my mom and I...

...can't always rely on your

father to protect us our whole life.

I learnt this in

the last two years.

I encountered a

girl in Middle Land.

From her, I learned a lot.

Where is she now?

No idea.

Her fate is yet unknown to me.

I wrongfully accused her

father as the slayer of my Si-fu.

I cast her out in folly.

- Cast her out?

- Yeah...

I have wronged her.

Jing-ge.

The Grassland is

also complicated.

Perhaps this time we

really are separated.

Are you still looking for her?

Yes, indeed.

To the very brink of the world.

I'll find her.

You are fond of her?

It's not just that.

It's a feeling beyond that.

I have waited for

you for two years.

Is this all you want to say?

I have no idea what it

felt like to like someone.

So now, you got your answer!

I don't want to

lie, but I did get it.

This is my fire sickle.

I shall give it to you.

That wench! How dare you!

Such fury!

Are you leaving?

Your wound has not healed yet.

Thanks, for yesterday...

Heading to the Middle Land?

Can you take me with you?

Guo Jing went to Middle Land

and fell in love with a woman.

His heart remains

entwined with hers.

He vows to reclaim

her, come what may.

I must find out

what she looks like.

Should our paths cross,

I shall chop off her head.

Huajun, in fact...

It's a pity you're leaving,

else you would witness

how I sever her head.

Let's go! I'll find

you a good ride.

Find a solid one

for the princess.

I am curious. Many

Mongol warriors are here.

What draws you to a Han?

- You shall know if you meet him.

- Princess.

The water was taken

from the Turgen River.

Yet this horse refuses to drink.

What's the matter?

Just be careful.

I suspect poison in the water.

It will be those who

pursued me yesterday.

If you leave now, you

shall cross paths with them.

Stay with me.

But won't my Han

lineage attract attention?

Just cover your face.

No one dare

challenge your identity.

Princess, you have my gratitude.

Then I shall stay.

But I must ask a favor.

There's a letter inside.

While I fled, I wrote it for

several friends of mine.

So that they might

know my position.

Send someone to Dengzhou and

deliver to the beggars with pouches.

Beggars?

They call themselves

the Beggar Clan.

Beggar Clan?

They may come and aid us

against the minions of the Jins.

Are Middle Land

women all so wise?

It is clear why Guo

Jing is fond of her.

A bestowed wedding...

he has no choice.

I don't want to force

him to like me either.

Might I introduce

you to Guo Jing?

There are a few

Hans in the camp.

He shall be

overjoyed to meet you.

No need for that.

This poisoned river

is more important.

Nothing else matters.

Leave it up to fate.

Up to what?

Fate.

People meet when

the time is right.

True.

Chief, we poisoned the water,

but we found Guo Jing there as well.

Such fortune!

Since both are here,

we shall see how you die.

Chief, rumors are rife

that you battled Guo Jing.

Opinions differ, but

we only trust your word.

Who truly won?

Guo Jing,

you are ever

dodging in fear of me.

Bring out the Novem Scripture!

Face my Toad Miasma!

The Dragon Quake.

Strike the ox

through the mountain!

You scoundrel! A

wolf in sheep's skin!

What a cheap shot!

I've seen through your tricks!

Now it is my turn.

The Eighteen Dragon

Palms! The twelfth move.

The Dragon Swirl.

Use force against force.

I never saw your

master use this.

Check it out.

Even and even.

We can say I had

a narrow victory.

Step aside.

They are all gone.

We had eyes in the city.

They saw you crawl away.

You believe such nonsense?

When true masters

duel with each other,

life and death are close.

So tell me, who won?

Of course you won!

The Toad Roar of yours

is the foremost in the world.

In jest, Guo Jing

turned to dust.

Show your skills.

Infiltrate the military camp

and locate Huang Rong.

Will you join us as well?

I have yet to master

the Novem Force.

And I shall not waste my energy.

Father Khan, while

chasing Jin troops,

we faced ambush by a g*ng.

They come from Middle

Land with perilous skills.

If not for Guo Jing...

...who used the Novem

Force to detoxify us,

we should have been dead.

Father Khan...

JOCHI, THE 1ST PRINCE

...Guo Jing has learnt many

skills from Middle Land.

CHAGATAI, THE 2ND PRINCE

Yet Middle Land skills

differ from warfare.

MINISTER, YELU CHUCAI

What we face are the Jins

with their million elite soldiers.

On the northern

front of the Jins,

we have suffered

continuous setbacks.

One person cannot

alter the course of battle.

Great Khan, it appears

the Jins have devised...

...numerous strategies

against us this time.

In w*r, it is the

spirit that counts;

victory belongs

only to the brave.

Anything is possible.

I believe that Jing could help.

Guo Jing, what is

the Novem Force?

Show us.

Father Khan, be careful!

These are tricks

from Middle Land.

- What if...

- Jochi,

there is nothing wrong.

Jing is no outsider.

I watched you grow.

You are my adopted son.

You and your

mother are my family.

Jing, I trust you.

Light the bonfire,

show your skills.

Assembly!

Guo Jing shall exhibit

Middle Land skills!

Victory!

Look, it is he.

What's wrong? Why

do you weep thus?

Must be the injury

hasn't healed yet.

The Eighteen Dragon Palms?

It is not to be trifled with.

More so!

This is what Venom West

seeks, the Novem Scripture.

Such is the cause

of his absence.

Where hides this darling?

I bade you pursue Huang

Rong, not to court her.

Fool.

Guo Jing!

Guo Jing!

How many people can

perform this kind of skill?

Great Khan, Middle

Land martial arts...

...are broad and profound.

The five most powerful masters

are known as the Five Greats.

They are Heretic

East, Huang Yaoshi

HERETIC EASHUANG YAOSHI

Venom West, Ouyang Feng

VENOM WESOUYANG FENG

Loyal South, Monk Sole Light

LOYAL SOUTH

MONK SOLE LIGHNorthern Beggar, Hong Qigong

NORTHERN BEGGAR

HONG QIGONG

and Divine Apex, Wang Chongyang.

DIVINE APEX

WANG CHONGYANG

These five masters

have different disciplines.

Their might is supreme.

I just harnessed

the internal force...

...from the Novem

Scripture by Wang...

...fused with the

external force...

...of Eighteen Dragon

Palms taught by Hong.

All my life, I have

fought battles aplenty...

...seen magnificent

displays of troops...

...and met multitudes

of formidable folks.

Never did I realize the

world can be so vast...

...and replete

with such marvels.

With such potent

martial prowess,

you deserve the

title of a true hero.

Great Khan, I believe a true

hero does not solely rely on skills,

but rather stands

tall in times of peril.

In adversity, they remain

fearless and undeterred.

Only then can he

deserve to be called...

...a true hero of the world.

Let's go.

Jing, what are you looking at?

I think I saw someone familiar.

Is that not Huajun?

Have you forgotten

her after two years?

Report to the Great Khan!

Great Khan! Several

soldiers are dead in the camp.

Enemies have infiltrated.

- Remain alert!

- Aye.

Father Khan...

OGEDAI, THE 3RD PRINCE

...we found traces of

campfire outside the camp.

Third Brother, patrolling

is my responsibility.

I sanctioned it.

Huajun said some Jin

minions were lurking nearby.

They have also

poisoned the river.

You still bicker

amongst yourselves.

A poisoned water

source portends death.

The army's morale

is thus shattered.

Relay my command:

Drill the troops tomorrow.

Aye.

Go to the rear of the camp.

Inspect it thoroughly.

- Hasten.

- Hurry!

Why do your soldiers

appear so fraught?

What is afoot?

They sneaked in

and k*lled our men.

Sneaked in?

Thus, you must tell Jing-ge...

Guo Jing... to be vigilant.

All must heed caution.

Verily, all must heed caution.

Assuredly, I

shall tell Guo Jing.

Jing-ge?

Upon the brink of battle,

rouse the soldier's spirits...

...and train the entire army.

Your Father Khan summoned

Guo Jing to the field.

Does he intend to have him lead?

Guo Jing, you have seen wars...

...but never fought in one.

Great Khan bids

you learn tactics.

Guo Jing's fire tricks

were mere child's play.

I'll show him

what a true w*r is.

Jochi is cumbersome enough;

now we have Guo Jing too.

Attack!

Guo Jing, watch!

This is our battle strategy.

With the Jins, the Mongols

like to lure foes deep within.

Their ranks seem in disarray,

but in truth are split left and

right, striking foes from both sides.

This is the tactic we employ

to win with fewer men.

My two brothers want Guo

Jing to make a fool of himself...

...in the presence

of our Father Khan.

Ask Guo Jing if he

brought any w*r books...

...from Middle Land.

If so ask him to

train accordingly.

w*r books from Middle Land?

They have no cavalry tactics.

Ask him first.

If he has any, it might help.

Great Khan, a frontal

as*ault is unwise.

In many battles,

we failed to break

the Jins' north line.

We must seek another path

to strike at the Jins' heart.

I have sent envoys

to the Song Emperor...

...requesting passage

through Song lands...

...to launch a surprise

attack from behind.

What if they deny us?

Friend or foe,

they must choose one.

Guo Jing,

a hundred Hans await

you beyond the East Gate.

Fear not, for I recognize them.

Who might they be?

The Beggar Clan of Middle Land.

Friends here, not enemies.

Elders, what brings you here?

I received a pigeon

post from the Clan...

...to seek our chief,

no... To aid Master Guo.

Where's your chief?

Where is she?

She has been

absent for four months.

Nothing shall happen

to our wise chief.

This... Kindly

accept this painting.

Who is she?

Their chief... also

the friend I seek.

I asked for a small cadre.

Who called for the entire

branch to move here?

We never saw the Grassland...

...and wished to

broaden our horizon.

Do not jest.

I asked you here to

bring a plan not a painting.

Plan! Not painting!

Who brought it?

Not I.

- Not me.

- You!

Speak out! Why

have you brought it?

Why...

Why did I bring a portrait?

Chief, you intended to...

- ...give this portrait to...

- What?

I remember! You told us it

was for him when you drew it.

If seen by others will not

my guise be compromised?

Chief... why do you

withdraw from Guo Jing?

He has been in search

of you all this while.

At times of w*r we do not

dwell on personal matters.

Venom West lurks

with his retinue.

Beware their

presence. Aid Guo Jing.

Venom West is so formidable.

What if he assails our camp?

Your duty is to

forge a strategy.

Rest assured, Chief.

I have already

made arrangements.

Brethren, around the clock

protect the Chief closely.

No way.

With such numbers at my heel.

Guo Jing's suspicion will rise.

Very well.

I shall tell him now

that you are not here.

Come back!

Chief!

The truth will come to

light that you are here.

Why not reveal it now?

I...

The style of the

Beggars Clan is carefree.

I shall be carefree.

Chief... time is of the essence.

You jest with us old men while

he is headed to the princess.

Away, be gone.

Truly... I have met that princess.

She and Guo

Jing are a fine pair.

Guo Jing is to command the army.

And Venom West

is lurking outside.

He faces so many problems.

I can't show myself.

Thus I asked you

here to bring a plan.

You think it fits not?

- It fits.

- Elder Lu.

- Chief.

- Stationeries.

Here they are.

I know not when

Venom West will appear.

But he seeks the

Novem Scripture.

I shall write a

hundred copies for him.

Seven-layered loom.

Spring silkworms

spin their lives away.

Cut not the silken

cloth too soon.

Unwittingly rent asunder,

the celestial

phoenix's robe in twain.

Mother, what does

this verse mean?

It means...

...two birds on the

same piece of cloth...

...were separated

into two garments.

Blossoms bloom in pairs,

leaves entwined as one,

branches joined in love.

You have wronged my soul,

yet my heart is pure.

Guo Jing.

Huajun.

I saw you at the

drills yesterday.

Your two brothers mocked me.

I think even they

train better than me.

Father Khan longs for

you to be his prince consort.

So, he bids you

lead his soldiers.

He doesn't know your

heart belongs elsewhere.

Huajun,

I will speak to the Great

Khan and tell him everything.

I only fear this might

affect my mother.

Don't worry. I won't let

Father Khan mistreat you.

I thought the Grassland

was the finest place.

Yet now I see there

are better places.

Huajun, Middle

Land is my homeland.

- My mom and I must return.

- Middle Land!

Right, I came here to ask...

...if you brought w*r

books from Middle Land.

w*r books? How do you know...

- Indeed you have them?

- Yes.

It's called "Scroll of Wu Mu"

left behind by General Yue Fei.

- How curious!

- Assuredly.

This book has recorded the

strategies to counter the Jin army.

So the Jins long to obtain it.

Huajun...

I...

Brethren of the Beggar Clan,

to fight against the

Jins, General Yue Fei...

...had left this

"Scroll of Wu Mu".

All may survey

this martial tome...

...to discern its proper use.

It has eight arrays

against the Jins.

This Heaven Array

quells which Jin array?

What is that they do?

I have no idea.

Over there!

Who drew this?

- I don't know.

- Not me.

I did.

I drew it up last night

upon putting it together.

Then this Earth Array says...

...the central band

lingers behind on the left...

...while trios center

at the vanguard.

Elder Jian what

array does this quell?

Which array?

You shall not be with me.

I would fain not

see you evermore.

Huang Rong. So it is you!

Here you are.

Do you seek to sever my head?

You talked about fate!

All lies!

This blade in my hand, take it.

We shall do this

in Mongol style!

It is not necessary.

In venturing forth, who

bears not a handy weapon?

Look, here's my weapon:

the Dog-Beating Staff.

You take this broken stick.

Do you despise me?

Do not say that I bully you.

Careful!

I showed you mercy.

We shall commence now.

Deceive not! What mean

you by "commence"?

Stop talking, bring it on.

Your blade has fallen.

You have lost.

What did I lose?

I was not slain.

Without weapons

I can still fight!

You can't flee!

What is this? Why

can I not move?

This is the "Orchid

Brushing Hand."

I have sealed two

of your acupoints.

You shall remain

thus for one hour.

Compose yourself.

You treacherous wench!

After giving her

a sound beating,

you bid her peace

and reflection.

- At last, your guise is pierced!

- Keep silent.

Wench!

We shall see who is faster.

Your staff holds

no sway over me.

Huajun.

If I apprehend you, might she

give me the Novem Scripture?

What is that?

Banish such thoughts.

Likely, she wishes me dead.

- If you want to slay me, proceed.

- To slay?

Uncle Venom West,

if you wanted the Novem Scripture,

you should've said so earlier.

The horse would

not have kicked you.

To save your honor,

I shall keep silent.

Do you really want it?

It's here. Let her go!

Tricks... Don't trick me, wench.

No, I'm not.

Do you want it?

Release her first.

Or I might burn it.

- I want it.

- Here it is.

Sanskrit.

No challenge for me.

Why is the

scripture in Sanskrit?

For it is genuine.

My father said the original

scripture was inscribed in Sanskrit.

Splendid. But...

How does Guo Jing know Sanskrit?

He had a wise mentor.

- But he has lost his mind.

- What?

- He shall spout blood and die.

- Guo...

I counsel you,

cease your practice.

To fail would bring

shame. Be gone!

Worry not for me. I

shall not lose my mind.

Worry for your Guo Jing.

If he should spout

blood yet live,

I shall send him

to the afterlife.

It was too dangerous.

You might not know,

Venom West has shown his mercy.

You lied about Guo Jing.

I can't trust you anymore.

Yet, you just said he would die.

Is that true?

You ask me?

Reflect well.

Shall you believe me?

Why do you shroud in mystery?

Your Guo Jing is fine.

He won't die.

How else could I have saved you?

So that book is fake?

All made up. Is

there anything real?

I scorn liars most.

So you ought to scorn me.

How much is that

scripture worth?

I'll recompense you.

Debts I favor not.

I scrawled the

scripture in wrong order.

I just tricked Venom West.

He shall surely come again.

Do you want me to stay and help?

Speak not of my

presence to Jing-ge.

I shall follow your commands.

You utter fair words, yet

yearn for proximity to Guo Jing.

Your heart pines for him. Why

do you still hide and not see him?

The Great Khan favors Guo Jing.

Your two elder brothers

ever seek to cast him down.

If they know I

hide in the camp...

...have you thought

of Guo Jing's fate?

Thus you have played

me for your ends.

I aid Guo Jing and I aid you.

Is this exploitation?

I was to leave.

It was you who bid me

stay. Now you scorn me.

I never thought the Khan's

daughter could be so unjust.

I shall pack my things...

...and notify the beggars

to depart at dawn.

Huajun,

a soul can't always rely on...

...another's safeguard evermore.

Chief, you traveled

far to find Guo Jing.

Would you leave so soon?

If I stay here, more

trouble will come.

Elder Lu, we shall

return to Middle Land.

Emotions are hard to

restrain; desires are insatiable.

To practice

asceticism in this world,

the ultimate obstacle is the

obsessions within our own hearts.

What's on your mind?

Tell me.

What's her name?

Who?

The one you fancy!

She is Huang Rong.

I have not met her,

but seeing you thus

she must be fair.

But I have wronged her,

rendering her all alone now.

I lost her.

And she may have been in peril.

Mother, I wish to leave

for a time to find her.

If you wish it,

you shall find her.

Great Khan, my

dear friend is in peril.

I wish to find her

in Middle Land.

A friend in need...

...can't be ignored.

I shall send two teams of

scouts to accompany you.

My gratitude to the Great

Khan for your kindness.

But I need no escort.

I have always seen you as a son.

This Grassland is

evermore your home.

Go with peace.

Seven-layered loom.

Spring silkworms

Cut not the silken

cloth too soon.

Unwittingly rent asunder...

...the celestial

phoenix's robe in twain.

Prince Ogedai greets the Khan.

Prince Ogedai greets the Khan.

Great Khan, ill tidings.

Our southern line tribes...

...were raided by the Jins.

The cattle were stolen.

One survivor remains

with half his arm severed...

...and his hair and beard shorn.

Take him away.

Great Khan, the

Jins' provocation...

...can't go unanswered.

Great Khan, the Jins' elite

guards line the northwest...

...but their central

forces are sparse.

I propose we

strike their capital.

Great Khan,

to attack the Jins' capital...

...we must cross the

Guan River defense.

Guan River defense...

There will be a

prolonged warfare.

The best strategy is to

pass through Song lands...

...and then strike

the Jins' capital.

Guo Jing knows

the Song land best.

That's why I had

him train the troops.

Now that we are strong,

I decide...

...to summon Guo Jing back...

...and march against the Jins.

- Great Khan.

- Great Khan.

YUE ZHOU PROVINCE, MIDDLE LAND

Make way!

Ill tidings.

Our court refuses

Mongol forces...

...passage through our

border to attack the Jins.

Yet they still march

towards Middle Land.

They intend to force their way

and ambush the Jins' capital.

Our officials are

bought by the Jins.

How could they grant

passage to the Mongols?

They might attack us too.

Guo Jing is still

on the Grassland?

He would not fight with the

Mongols against us, would he?

Nonsense.

Guo Jing will stop them.

He will face the

Mongol army alone.

The Chief is in seclusion.

This is an important matter.

We must consult her.

Spread the word. Find our Chief!

- Aye.

- Aye.

HANSHUI FERRY, 60

LI TO SONG BORDER

Here you go, sir.

- Noodles please.

- Sure.

Brothers, you came from Jiezhou.

What tidings there?

Same as Xihe, all sealed off.

This w*r will not be short.

Trade is getting harder.

Oh my goodness.

Officer. Officer.

May I ask where are

these troopers headed?

Are you Han?

Yes.

Change your clothes quickly.

The Mongols seek

to invade the Jins.

Negotiations with

our court failed.

They march south directly

intending to force their way.

The court sends tens of

thousands to the border daily.

Our office must also withdraw.

Our ancestors

bled for these lands.

We must not permit

them to be trampled.

March out!

Guo Jing is back!

Great Khan.

Guo Jing, the

Mongol-Jin w*r looms.

Yet the Song court, foolish

and weak, denies passage.

Great Khan has

decreed to march south.

If Song troops block us,

they become our foes.

Guo Jing, will

you lead the army?

Great Khan, I can't

accept this command.

Song is my homeland.

I shall not trample

upon my homeland.

What good has the

Song court done for you?

Even loyal ministers

defended Song.

They were loyal and true,

but in the end they

were all ex*cuted.

What worth is

such a Song to you?

Great Khan, the

Song-Mongol alliance...

...is a great endeavor.

If we split and declare w*r,

countless lives will perish and

the survivors will be miserable.

I have treated you well.

I raised you and gave

my daughter to you.

You dare defy me?

If I were to lead troops into

Song and defy the Great Khan,

I will accept punishment.

Even a thousand cuts

or being torn asunder.

Very well.

Take him out and behead him.

Halt! Halt!

Halt! Father Khan!

Guo Jing grew up

on the Grassland.

He is my brother

and your adopted son.

He saved my life.

Even if he has sinned,

he deserves not death.

Father Khan, reconsider.

Anda, you grew up on the

Grassland like us Mongols.

We are one family.

Our brotherhood bond is deep.

I hope you will reconsider and

obey Father Khan's command.

Anda, I am a Song man.

I will not betray Song.

I, Guo Jing, firmly

oppose the Khan...

...from invading Song's land.

I will not waver even

on pain of death.

I shall not k*ll you now.

When I return from the south...

...your fate shall be decided.

Without my orders, neither

you shall not depart...

...nor your mother.

By the Great Khan's command,

Guo Jing and his mother can't depart.

By the Great Khan's command,

Guo Jing and his mother can't depart.

Mother.

Mother.

Why have you returned?

- Mother.

- Do not mind me.

Flee quickly.

The Khan will not spare you.

I must take you

back to Middle Land.

You should not!

Mother, your health.

What ails you?

Do you know why the

Khan keeps me here?

It is for this day to

use me against you.

Long ago,

I brought you to this harsh

land and raised you up.

Do you know why?

To escape the Jins' persecution.

You raised me to adulthood

to avenge my father's death.

What else?

To return to Middle Land...

...and fulfil my father's

will to protect Song's realm.

Mother, I have refused the

Khan to lead troops into Song.

You have not failed your

father's great hopes for you.

Good.

We shall return to Middle Land.

We shall pack

forthwith. Quickly! Go!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

HUSBAND GUO XIAOTIAN

NATURAL ORDER

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, why?

Why do you do this?

I know...

I know you care for me.

But as long as I live...

...you have no choice.

I can't become...

...your...

Burden.

Make haste and flee.

We go home together.

We go to Middle Land together.

Fret not for me.

Mother.

With a son like you,

my heart is at peace.

I...

I shall return you home.

We go to Middle Land together.

We go to Middle Land together.

You all, stand back!

I have failed you.

I vowed to protect you both.

Guo Jing,

I have failed you.

I have failed you.

I have failed you.

I withdrew the guards. Hasten.

Huajun, with this act, what

will the Khan do to you?

I am the Khan's daughter.

He may do as he will.

The princess leaves the camp!

Lower the ramparts.

Send guards to protect her.

Aye.

Huajun, before us

lies Yanmen Pass.

Beyond that, Middle Land awaits.

Guo Jing,

we shall bid our final farewell.

The girl from Middle

Land, will you seek her still?

I am the Khan's daughter.

Whither you go, I can't follow.

In your quests, I can't aid.

Perchance our worlds

are like grains of sand...

...scattered by the wind.

I wish to see Middle Land,

but fate shall decide.

Huajun, that day will come.

Huajun,

farewell.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MOTHER LI PING.

- SON, GUO JING

Mother, here is Yanmen Pass.

We are in Middle Land.

Beyond the pass

lies the Grassland.

Here,

you can see both lands.

Mother, if you

watch from heaven...

...worry not for your son.

I shall bear father's will...

...and walk his path.

SONG BORDER FORTRESS

Follow me. Follow closely.

Hurry! Hurry up!

PLACE OF RECRUITMENAre you here to enlist?

Good.

Young man. Tell me.

Name? Age? Birthplace?

PEACH BLOSSOM WINE CHICKEN

Among my talents I'm

genius in culinary art.

This is my famous dish.

Peach Blossom wine

chicken. Taste and judge.

Fresh from the pot.

What would you like, sir?

Pardon me. Is it true

that your restaurant...

...serves Peach

Blossom wine chicken?

A fine query indeed.

The answer is laughable.

A maiden paid us

to hang this sign up.

- Sir...

- Why then, do others serve it too?

Over here, sir.

Look, sir.

In this very city,

any who serve food...

...now display this

very sign. Look.

PEACH FLOWER ARRACK CHICKEN

Sir, sir. Come this way.

Pardon me. Do

you serve this dish?

It is but a sign.

The maiden taught us nothing.

How then can I taste this dish?

She said, find her

and you shall taste it.

Sir, come in.

It will soon rain.

We light incense for them.

Rong-er, why did

you hide for so long?

I have been waiting for

the Jing-ge I knew all along.

It was my fault.

I have wronged you.

Jing-ge,

no matter what happened

I have never blamed you.

This world is vast.

I shall not lose you again.

Never shall I lose you again.

If you seek, the realm is small.

Make haste. The

Mongols approach.

Keep moving! Move!

Rong-er, how did you

know I would be here?

With such crisis in Middle Land,

the Jing-ge I know would appear.

- Be careful.

- Maiden, be careful.

We seek Lord Li in the city...

...to offer us assistance.

Stop pushing!

Over here!

- There is no time!

- Let it be!

I envy them, truly.

They leave as they wish.

Make way. Make way a moment.

Make way. Make way a moment.

Make way. Make way.

Halt.

We seek Lord Li.

Wait here.

My lord, a pair seeks

audience. Your command?

What drink is this?

Two sips and I fell in darkness.

My lord, it was the finest brew.

My lord, the Mongols

are at the gates.

We shall brave all

obstacles to fight the enemy.

Permit me to the wall

to scout the enemy.

I shall give my

all to aid in battle.

It is a military stronghold.

It is not up to your whims. Go!

- Flee now!

- Take them away.

My lord, even on pain of death

I beg of you to grant

my greatest wish.

What's your wish?

Lord Li, never have

I seen a Mongol.

I yearn to see their face.

If granted this chance,

I shall repay your

great kindness.

Such folly!

I can't understand you

young folk nowadays.

What do you ponder?

If you yearn to see, I shall

allow you to see briefly.

In position! All units!

Yes, sir!

LI

Hurry!

The enemy are getting closer!

Prepare to fight!

The Khan of the Grassland

is the Mongol w*r god.

The Jins have oppressed us long.

Now we seek passage to strike.

It is Heaven's mandate.

The Song shall open doors.

Those who follow shall prosper.

Those who defy shall perish.

Victory! Victory! Victory!

I have seen their siege craft.

With the Mongol might,

this place shall fall swiftly.

Jing-ge, your Father Khan

and Anda are opposite.

Only by seizing the Khan

can we save all the townsfolk.

Victory! Victory! Victory!

Who is this man?

Does he come to aid us?

Halt!

Those who dare

to block my path...

...shall be slain without mercy.

A swarm of ants.

Ye ants blocking my path.

Block, blocking my path...

Shall be... shall be

slain without mercy.

Without mercy.

That looks like the Toad Roar.

It's Venom West.

I scrambled the scripture.

How has he mastered it thus?

It can't be. I fought

with him previously.

His Toad Roar is much

more powerful now.

He must have gone mad.

If Venom West strikes now,

he would have no

mercy for either side.

Archers, ready!

sh**t!

The Novem Force.

His power has been strengthened.

It looks even more horrible.

Crossbows, ready!

- Ready.

- sh**t!

Fall back.

Martial arts from Middle Land.

Today, we face a mighty foe.

Who are you?

w*r god.

Ye, ye all know not of me?

I am the foremost in the world.

I come for the Khan's head.

- sh**t!

- Cannons!

- Enclose the nest swiftly.

- Aye!

Those stone bombs may explode.

Block him! Quickly!

He aims for the Khan.

The situation is dire.

Don't go.

Stand aside. Permit

me to face Venom West.

Let me pass!

Anda, stand aside.

Permit Guo Jing to pass.

- Stand aside.

- It's Guo Jing, make way.

Make way.

The w*r god of the Grassland!

Be careful!

Protect the Khan.

Be careful!

- Protect the Khan.

- Aye.

Guo Jing.

Retreat one hundred paces!

Judging from your

voice you are not mad.

That wench indeed deceived me.

That's fine.

The Novem Force,

I have mastered it.

The Eighteen Dragon Palms?

I completely disregard it.

Come and look at

the true Novem Force.

Venom West, your

Novem Scripture is fake.

As long as I win,

it is real. Take this!

Everyone, fall back!

A flaw.

Do I have a vulnerability?

I must attack first.

Attacking me from the top?

You scoundrel!

The Toad Roar!

The Dragon Spin!

Attack from the bottom!

The Dragon Pause!

How many already? How

many more do you have?

Yet more to come!

The Dragon Impact!

You brought me here.

They will be hurt should you

make a move. That's what I want!

Spread out! Leave here!

- Hide yourself!

- Aye!

It's dangerous! Leave!

Too many worries upon

making your moves...

...will be your doom!

Anda!

Anda!

Come no closer!

Your whole body is pinned down.

You can make no more move!

Hereafter, only one

Novem Force exists.

It only belongs to

me, Venom West!

With my Toad Roar,

I shall send you on your way.

Jing, heed the old man.

When you can no longer retreat,

never forget The

Eighteen Dragon Palms.

One more move, The Dragon Quake.

You can strike through objects.

The Dragon Quake!

Strike the ox

through the mountain!

Guo Jing. Let's keep fighting!

The Toad Awaken!

The Eighteen Dragon Palms!

The twelfth move.

The Dragon Swirl.

Distract and deceive.

Impossible to defend.

The Eighteen Dragon Palms!

The Dragon Swirl.

Wait!

Surround him!

Move forward!

I, Venom West, am the

foremost in the world.

Don't!

This man is perilous.

Lord Li, their

formation is broken.

Their vanguard is in disarray.

Open the gates, charge!

- Strike them unawares!

- Aye.

Open the gates.

Lower the drawbridge.

Lower the drawbridge.

The Song army are lined up!

Form ranks.

Form ranks.

All troops ready!

Prepare to strike.

Hold. Hold. Hold.

Say it!

All troops, listen!

Return for defense.

Insolent! Release Lord Li!

If battle begins,

with so many troops

outside formations will scatter.

None shall guard the city.

General! General! The

Mongols drum for w*r.

Command your men to clear

the way. We advance. Hurry!

Clear the way!

General! No time

to return to the city.

Archers, ready!

Make way!

Make way!

Hurry! Unbind me! Hurry!

Hurry! Let me in!

Bar the Mongols' entry.

- Jing-ge.

- Rong-er, we must halt this w*r.

We have to stop it!

How can you stop so many?

Archers, ready!

Brothers, to storm this city,

tread over me first.

Anda!

If you must pass,

tread over me first.

Anda!

To enter this city,

tread over me first.

Brothers.

Great Khan summons Guo Jing.

Jing-ge.

Rong-er, I must face the Khan.

Wait here. I shall return.

Great Khan.

Are you still the child who

once heeded my words,

Guo Jing?

Great Khan, I have

never changed.

Why not call me father?

Father.

My stance shall not alter.

Guo Jing, the Jins have

ravaged us for years.

We must strike

them while we can.

I must pass this city.

Great Khan, if passing means...

...sacrificing the innocent,

I, Guo Jing, must intervene.

What are they to you?

The Song betrayed your father...

...and left you and

your mother homeless.

I took you in on the Grassland

and raised you to manhood.

Why do you protect them now?

Great Khan, once you were

also your own people's scorn.

Yet you overcame all odds.

It was the Khan's foresight that

united every tribe of the Grassland.

I believe you protect your kin,

wishing generations

to live in peace.

Great Khan, each of us

has our own to protect.

I am the same.

I also have my own to guard.

If you would stop me,

why would you save me?

If you were gone, they would

scramble for your throne.

The Grassland

would fall to chaos.

Grassland folk and

Middle Land folk are alike.

On this land, all lives matter.

Guo Jing, the land I built...

...stretches far and wide.

It takes a year to

journey through it.

Which heroes under

heaven have done the same?

Great Khan, your might

has no match in history.

Yet your glory alone...

...rests upon countless

bones and widows' tears.

True heroes do not conquer,

but care for the land

with compassion.

That is true chivalry.

I now regret...

...not giving you a Mongol name.

Even with a Mongol

name, I would not forget...

...that my true

name is Guo Jing.

Withdraw the troops!

Return to Onon River.

Withdraw.

Withdraw.

Anda, we are sworn brothers.

I hope henceforth

we meet not in battle.

We must not k*ll each other.

Master...

Take great care.

Anda, my two

brothers differ from me.

They're ambitious.

May the eternal

heaven protect you.

Guo Jing, w*r brings but sorrow.

Only peace brings

the best ending.

May that day come soon.

Master... Anda... may

that day come soon.

Farewell.

Farewell.

Rong-er, Peach Blossom

Island knows no w*r.

Will you return?

And you?

I shall bide at the border.

May the Mongols never return.

May Middle Land and the

Grassland also know no w*r.

When that time comes, I

shall take you to the Grassland.

Jing-ge, in truth,

I have seen the Grassland.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong

defended Song's border...

...for thirty-five years.

Though often plagued

by w*r's smoke,

Guo Jing and Huang

Rong fought fiercely...

...to protect Middle Land.

On occasion, at the border...

...a woman would appear with

two white condors above her.

The guards believed

she could be Huajun.
