Description
In the year when writer/director Chang Cheh and star Jimmy Wang Yu revolutionized Hong Kong kung-fu cinema with One-Armed Swordsman, they also collaborated on this epic set in the Six Kingdoms era. Here, Yu plays a dual-wielding swordsman who is also a Wei Empire patriot. Inside the Han Empire, Han Kuei who comes from the royal family, has seized power and wants to eliminate loyal officer Yen Sui. Later, our main character is betrayed by a jealous rival and becomes a village butcher. When he accidentally meets Yen Sui, he is sent back on the road to vengeance. Chiao Chiao (the lovely and talented co-star of One-Armed Swordsman), plays Hsia Ying, the love of the hero's life, and a strong woman who survives to protect their child.
