Story
Shanguan Zheng is an old kung fu master preparing to retire. But as soon as his students raise the imperial sign, a note immediately arrives saying that the old man did not defeat all the best fighters in the district. From this begins his journey, during which the old man fights with each of the seven great masters to prove his superiority in kung fu. During travels, the old man with his three students pick up another soldier named Shaoying, after he insistently asked to study with Zheng, in order to avenge the death of his father.
Before his death, the old man’s teacher leaves Kuanchun the secret book, The Twelve Bai-Mei Blows. However, the masked man steals several pages, leaving information about nine hits. This man now has the last three Bai-Mei attacks, which are more dangerous than the other nine. Shanguan Zheng teaches Shaoing nine blows to Bai-mei. Soon, the guy learns from his "uncle" that Zheng once killed his father during a friendly duel. A mysterious stranger teaches Shaoin the last three strokes. Shaoing, intent on sending his father’s murderer to the world, challenges Zheng. The fight between the student and teacher continues until a person appears who has stolen the pages from the book and the whole truth about his personality is clarified.
