Where's the rock?

Teacher!

You think you can just kill yourself?

I will find someone to cure you!

I don't want you to!

I want to!

I don't want you to!

Shut up!

Who were you talking to just now?

I am the Chief, l...

I'm sorry, Teacher.

I didn't mean to. I'll restring it.

The world is in more disarray

than I thought.

I had originally asked you to

save us mortals.

Now I really can't tell

who is saving who.

Today is the first day ofthe 49 days.

Let me get this Monk cured first.

Then I'll go after the Twin Swords

before time runs out.

What is it?

Fish.

It's great down there!

Really?

Still trying to run?

Darn it.

You bad fish!

It's charged!

Soldier, I've got the fish here!

Little Monk.

What?

Have you ever had fish?

I was once a monk for a few days.

I was told that eating cooked fish is

not considered killing. Want some?

Are you sure?

Positive!

Master Ting.

That's not Master Ting!

That's the Blood Demon's double!

Where's that sword?

Right behind you!

Which one is real and which is

the double?

He's turned into a woman!

Sheathe!

Evil is omnipresent. Be careful!

Yes.

What is that?

It's a fish.

I was just about to free it.

Have mercy on all living things!

We'd better get going to the Fort.

Good thing he didn't know the fish

was cooked! Take it back.

You may all leave.

I cannot cure this Monk.

You didn't even diagnose him.

How do you know you cannot cure him?

Only the Countess can cure him.

Countess?

We didn't know you have a Countess.

The Countess has been

in seclusion for years.

She'll not come out and cure him,

unless...

Unless what?

Unless he is sent by Fate.

Our Fort Flame burns once everyday,

sometimes long, sometimes short.

During this period oftime,

if she comes out,

the Countess will heal anyone who

comes for help.

The Flame is about to burn out and the

Countess has not shown yet.

Looks like it is fate that the Monk

does not get treated.

Then what happens to my Teacher?

The Fort has its rules.

Now that we're here,

we must abide by its rules.

I, Ting-Yin, will sustain the flame

even if it takes all the forces

out of my body!

I thought we had agreed

to trust everything to fate!

Yes, that's why I'm trying to stop

you from creating ill fate!

Hey, there's that witch!

We've been trapped!

Soldier...Soldier...Soldier!

Master Ting.

Don'tjust call every woman

you see a witch!

No, Master Ting.

What do you mean "no"?

She really looked like the witch we saw!

You are witch.

That was evil disguised as

the Countess.

You've been fooled.

Now you stand guard.

I have to bring his veins into unison.

Bring his veins into unison?

That's like teaching him how to fight!

He has you to thank for that.

Teacher...Teacher.

Master Ting.

Not a sound!

I'm transfusing energy into you.

Any mishap, both our veins will be shot

and we'll die.

What should I do?

Concentrate and let your will guide you.

That's no way to treat a monk!

I've turned into a super man!

Why are you doing this?

Don't you want to save this monk?

Are you cold?

Very.

How can we get passed

these girls to get inside?

Hey! What are you staring at?

What a temper! It doesn't look like

they'll let us through.

I wonder ifthere is another entrance.

I'm sure there is one in here!

Let's look for it!

Hey! What are you doing?

Nothing. We just need to use

the toilet, sister.

Can we?

You can't!

Strangers may not wander

around in the Fort!

That's all right.

We'll just do it right here.

Don't you dare!

No?

I dare you!

All right. You said it!

You think that will scare me?

You are too much!

Better not tell my Teacher!

Hsiao-Yu!

The healing has exhausted

the Countess and

she needs her rest.

The monk's venom

has been dissolved.

The two ofyou should leave the Fort.

Please.

Soldier, there's a hole ahead.

Just get in.

What kind of hole is this?

Help!

Help!

Wake up! Are you dead?

Where am l?

Can't you swim?

No, I can't swim.

Flying swords!!

You b*tches! See all you want then!

There goes that one too!

I'm going to take you to your teachers.

To show them how you're giving your

Clan a bad name!

I beg you.

Please don't tell my Teacher.

You win some, you lose some.

There's nothing to be afraid of!

If Teacher finds out

I pulled at her pants,

I will be in big trouble!

Pulling her pants is no big deal!

What?

What now?

Please don't be mad.

I'll do whatever

it takes to make it up to you.

Just don't make this any bigger

than it is.

Fine. Then slap each other until

my nerves are calmed.

Then my nerves will not be calm!

Haven't you heard that a man would

rather be killed than insulted?

Then I'll bring you to see your teachers.

Fine with me.

They're not my teachers anyway.

No, no! Soldier, why don't you just

slap me?

I don't hit my buddies.

Don't consider me your buddy.

Just do it.

I won't do it.

Then I'll slap myself.

Have a little backbone!

How can you be Chief of a Clan?

I was planning to give that up anyway.

Block!

Good thing I still have a few tricks

up my sleeves.

The Flame died.

It is fate that we should part.

Until we meet again, Countess.

If it is fate that we should part,

why should we meet again?

If it is fate that we should part,

then why did you come out to see me?

I didn't come out to see you.

No?

Did you come out to fight me then?

Ting-Yin, you are right.

You must pay for the other day when

you took advantage of me.

Took advantage? Have you lost your

mind from over exhaustion?

The other day you fainted,

and I tried to help you!

You tell me ifthat was

taking advantage ofyou.

I...

You tell me!

Ting, you're too arrogant.

I must teach you a lesson.

Just two moves? That doesn't

make for much of a lesson!

I know you have important business to

tend to. I'll let you go.

Really?

I'll save three moves for your return.

Ifyou can wait, I will return.

Good. Let's make a pledge!

Yi-Chen...Yi-Chen...

That's fine. You will stay to take care

ofyour teacher then.

You can come out now.

I knew you'd follow me.

You're not even armed. What do you

do if something happens?

You have two swords.

You can give me one!

I've been saving this sword

for my student.

Teacher!

Don't misunderstand me.

I'm not taking students yet.

But I can let you borrow this sword

for now.

Take it.

I guess it's better than nothing.

Master Ting!

Oh no, someone is in trouble!

Master Ting, Master Ting!

Does my face look terrible?

No, not too bad.

I've tried to slow the poison from

spreading,

but I can't control it much longer.

Let's get you back to the Fort

right away.

Ti Ming-Chi, are you still

anxious/to be my student?

Bow to me three times

and you'll be my student.

This sword will belong to you forever!

Do you obey your teacher's orders?

Yes.

I want you to promise me one thing.

Ifwe don't make it to the Fort

within three days, kill me.

Did you hear me? Kill me!

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill...

He...

Oh, you got poisoned too?

Hurry! Go ask the Countess to
