come out and save him!

Abbot, whether the Countess comes out

will depend on his fate.

She abides by the rule ofthe Flame.

Rule?

Yes, Teacher. It was the same when

we brought you here.

Quiet! You're a Kun-Lun traitor.

It is not your place to talk.

The Flame?

That's right.

Then hurry up...hurry...hurry.

Countess!

How can a monk be so contemptuous?

You are at the Fort,

not at your own Kun-Lun Mountain!

Get the Countess now or

you will be sorry!

Try anything and YOU will be sorry!

You women have nothing else

better to do

than to hide here and make up these

ridiculous rules.

You were the reason I became a Monk!

I'm wasting my breath!

You!

Come out ifyou have any guts at all!

Otherwise stay in there forever,

stupid old maid!

Hsiao-Yu! We are guests here.

We must not impose.

I had promised the Countess that

I would be back.

I just didn't know it would be under

these circumstances.

Teacher.

Student.

Teacher.

You are now a Nan-Hai student.

You must do your duty according to

the Nan-Hai Principles.

"To destroy evil, even your dearest

must not be spared."

Do it now!

Quick!

To hell with fate and rules and

principles!

We're letting a man die because of

a flame!

To hell with your flame!

You all have lost your minds.

I won't do it! I won't kill!!

Get out of my way...

Get your hand off of me!

It's about time!

Chi Wu-Shuang.

Countess.

We try our best and leave the rest

to fate. Do you understand?

Countess, you...

Just let what's meant to happen,

happen.

What is wrong?

The Countess already used up

her energy when healing you.

Now to heal your friend,

she is endangering her own life.

Ting-Yin, I've used up my energy

on your friend.

Now I am too weak to help you.

Ifthat is the way, then so be it.

Countess, please kill me.

I do plan to.

I understand.

"I sacrifice my life with no regrets"

"We will meet again in another world"

I've injured the Countess.

Help her, quick!

Teacher!

Master Ting!

Are you all right?

Teacher!

Master Ting!

Ting-Yin!

Teacher! Teacher!

See, see how badly you've beaten him!

All right, who makes decisions here?

No one? Then I'll do it.

From now on,

I will be responsible for him.

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

Do you really want to kill him?

I said I'm responsible for him.

Let me go! Let me go!

Let go...

Let go of me...

You get down first.

We'll figure something else.

Let go of me!

Do you really want him dead?

Get lost, you stupid Monk!

You'll have to kill me first!

Countess.

You must all go now. I've to break

the lce Mirror and freeze this place.

Countess! How will you get out then?

Don't let Ting-Yin get out.

Don't worry about me. Just go.

Why didn't you kill him?

Get out ofthe Fort now!

Get out ofthe Fort now!

Why?

Why?

Countess!

It's too late!

Teacher...Teacher...

It's all your fault.

Ifyou hadn't brought Ting-Yin here,

my Teacher would be fine.

You'd better get my Teacher out!

You get my Teacher out!

The Fort is freezing over.

What are you two still doing here?

It's none ofyour business!

There's blood!

You can't keep me here!

What's happening?

We'll be buried alive!

We better get out!

This is the only way out.

Here!

I've tried this hole before.

I almost drowned.

I'm not doing it again!

You two go on ahead. I'm not going!

Just drag him with us!

No... No. I'll drown!

Help!

What's the matter?

I've never left the Fort in my life.

Where shall I go now?

I don't know what to tell you.

For men, the world is their domain.

But you are a girl.

And all you do is scream and cry.

Perhaps you should become a nun.

Life may be a little bland,

but it'll fit you fine.

What? Can't you just shut up?

I'm not good with words,

but that's how I see it.

What do you want?

Yi-Chen, remember Long Brows asked

us to go to Heaven's Blade Peak

to find Li l-Chi and the Twin Swords.

We have only half a month left.

Ifwe don't hurry,

it will be doomsday for all when the

Blood Demon egresses.

We couldn't even save those in the Fort.

How can we save anyone else?

I was originally a soldier from West Zu,

but life for a soldier was unbearable.

I had hoped that someone would save

us from self-destruction.

Then I ran into our teachers and thought

they were the ones to save us.

But the so-called righteous argued

endlessly and refused to unite.

The Twin Swords have yet to be found,

and I have already lost my Teacher.

My teacher, like yours, cares only about

his own clan.

They talked about exorcising the

demons and saving the world,

but they're just a bowl of loose sand.

Ifwe follow in their footsteps,

we won't even be able to

save ourselves.

You're right.

The Blood Demon got his way

because my Teacher and Master Ting

refused to work together.

We cannot be like them.

Where shall we go from here?

We'll go to Heaven's Blade Peak

immediately!

Heaven's Blade Peak?

This place is huge!

We have two days left.

How do we find Li l-Chi?

Yes.

You two are really dumb!

Use your mouths!

Our mouths!

Lady Li l-Chi!

Run!

Use our mouths!

That was a stupid idea!

Look over there!

There's an entrance down there!

Heaven's Blade is fearless and

shuns the world!

What are you all doing here?

Is he Li l-Chi?

Don't be foolish. Li is a woman.

You have not answered my question.

Where are your manners?

Did you know you almost stepped into

Evil Territoryjust now?

This is the border between Good

and Evil.

Border?

By the way, who chained you here,

Old Man?

Nonsense! I'm not Old Man!

I'm Heaven's Blade!

No one in the world can chain down

Heaven's Blade!

I chained myself here.

Why did you chain yourself at

the entrance to the Evil Territory?

Old Man!

Stay away! I can take care of myself!

From the beginning oftime,

the Heavens and Earth were one.

But the Gods and Devils

were always at war.

Never-ending wars.

I have been here for over a century,

trying to understand the logic ofthis.

But instead, I was invaded

by the Evil Force.

My strength is depleting fast.

That is why I had to chain myself down.

There is an evil force lurking in

the universe.

Because of an equally strong

righteous force,

it stays in the Evil Territory.

This evil force is the basis of

all self destruction.

Although it stays in the Evil Territory,

it masterminds all evil wars and

disasters on earth.

There will never be peace in the world

as long as the Evil Force exists.

It is unfortunate that I'm old and

can merely stand guard here.

If any evil is able to get into the Evil

Territory and unite with the Evil Force,

the consequences will be too frightening

to even ponder.

Is there no one who can destroy

his Evil Force?

The Righteous Force is weakening.

Even Li l-Chi and the Twin Swords

may not be able to succeed.

Li l-Chi? Where is she?

Since this is the border between the

Good and Evil,

the gods have their bases here too.

She is in the Cave Beyond to your right.

We've finally found her!

It is too late!
