That hurts!
He made it!
Kill this monkey right now!
Finally here.
I will not go easy on you
because I'm fighting to avenge Piao.
Ancient China.
After the end of the age of sages, human desires were unleashed.
Endless raging wars and turmoil
ravaged China for 500 years.
Desire.
Pleasure.
Pain.
Fear.
In a cruel world with no hope left,
there is a dragon.
A dragon called era.
And like the burning flames of a dragon,
over 100 countries were eliminated
until only seven remained.
Yan, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu
and Qin.
In order to overcome each other,
these seven countries endlessly pointed their swords at one another.
It was known as
the "Spring and Autumn Warring States Period."
Now, a historic wind of turmoil sweeps over the State of Qin in the far West.
This is the story of a nameless boy and a young king who survived
the Warring States period.
Keep an eye on the gate!
The gate will be breached soon.
Damn!
Good job, Xin.
That was a piece of cake.
Hurry up!
Don't let the coach get away!
That's Minister Jie!
Were you talking about Minister Jie,
the enemy's general?
Why didn't you say that earlier?
Lankai, what's wrong?
Hurry up!
Goodness, they're catching up!
What are you doing?
What's up with that bastard?
He threw out his own subordinate!
That's too much.
That old man is horrible.
It's not just Minister Jie.
Except for Lord Chang,
all the ministers in the palace are like that!
Those guys managed to get a horse.
They'll overtake me.
What?
I didn't think it'd be that easy to finish him off.
The king and Lord Chang's plan to lure Jie out was a success.
I'm not happy that they managed to take the general away,
but that old man is as good as dead!
Don't go there!
Shi Shi.
There are even more people now.
This is terrifying.
Well done, Shi Shi.
Yes.
But I wonder
how you saw through their plan.
When they showed up at the capital,
I saw something shiny under one of their straw coat.
I suppose
that was an armor.
Does that mean some of them are people of the plains?
I think someone from the plains
must have gotten them to come down from the mountains.
But there are not many people
who can get the mountain people to act.
Do you mean...
I suppose so,
since we haven't received his head.
Show yourself, King Zheng!
Shi Shi's army are all made up of very experienced soldiers.
This puts us at an even greater disadvantage.
Indeed.
Tell Bi to leave with the soldiers on the right.
Yes.
What's wrong?
-Bi. -Yes.
I know you're there.
There's no point hiding.
I'll leave now.
-I wish you all the best. -Yes.
King Zheng, show yourself now.
Zheng Ying.
Shi, did you enjoy your few seconds of glory?
Was it enough?
He's showing himself without any guard on.
How foolish.
What is he trying to do?
He'll be a target.
Don't worry.
The arrows cannot go that far.
Bi.
Jio Ba.
The people on the right side will be organized into a different unit
to come with me.
Got it.
A separate unit?
That's right. Xin, let's go.
Hold on.
This time around, the enemies seem different from the guards.
If Captain and I are not here, Zheng will be in danger.
That's part of the strategy.
The king will distract them
so we can enter the palace to attack Jiao Cheng.
Isn't that the stubborn king?
Things are getting exciting.
Forward!
Send the enemies running around like headless chickens.
Bring me the king's head!
They are heading for the corridor.
There may be just a few of them,
but we'd be in deep trouble if they manage to enter the palace.
Don't worry.
Ci Zou is guarding the corridor.
Tajifu, now!
That hurts!
He did it!
Good job.
Let's get inside.
Don't worry.
The mountain people are staying with the king.
We have our own mission to complete.
I know.
Bi, hurry up!
Get ready to attack!
Xing Wei's soldiers
are expert archers feared by all enemy states.
Before we enter their range,
we should retreat and discuss our strategy first.
There's no need to retreat.
Duan-he Yang.
The blood of the mountain people
are raging.
This way.
Hey, Bi.
Do you think we can find Jiao Cheng here?
It's a maze between here and the main palace.
It's supposed to be very difficult for us to find our way through.
What?
But don't worry.
I once helped Piao escape through here.
I've already memorized the way to the main hall.
Wow.
Bi, you've been very useful today.
You're so full of energy.
Of course.
Since the day I escaped from this place with Piao,
many people have died.
As the deputy general, I have a big responsibility.
Even if I have to die,
I will kill Jiao Cheng to stop more people from dying.
Well, if you're dead, you won't be able to kill Jiao Cheng.
Duan-he, what's wrong?
Let's step back.
We're facing so many arrows.
Even the mountain people are defenseless against them.
Let's step back now.
We, the mountain people, are not afraid of those few arrows.
Get ready to attack!
Don't go there, idiot!
A bunch of monkeys.
It seems like they want to fight my elite army.
Interesting!
Get as close as possible.
Don't miss any target. Let them get a taste of our arrows.
We'll be wiped out.
Duan-he, stop it!
No, we will follow the mountain people.
Your Highness.
Everyone, fire!
Forward!
Are those three still alive?
Damn!
You just won't die, won't you?
What are you waiting for?
Move forward and attack!
What's going on?
Shi Shi, don't just stand there. Think of something.
Messenger!
Yes.
Get all the palace's guards to come here.
We'll settle things with them here.
CI ZOU
Just these few?
Ci Zou.
Do you know him?
He is Shi Shi's right-hand man and his chief assassin.
Chief assassin?
In the conflict between Lu and Jie,
both sides would often assassinate
the most influential men in the other camp.
And Jie's most active assassin is Ci Zou.
He even killed some of my good friends.
So he's an assassin.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of him.
Don't underestimate Ci Zou.
Being an assassin is just a part of him.
He is a true warrior.
Even his men are among the strongest.
But in the palace, besides Ci Zou and Xing Wei,
there's no one else who can lead soldiers.
If we can get through here, we will be in the main hall in no time.
This will determine whether we succeed or fail.
That's right, Captain!
I will kill all of you.
You stole our line!
Is this what the mountain people are capable of?
I thought I knew,
but they're stronger than I thought.
Lord Yang.
We've underestimated your strength.
I'm sorry for asking you to retreat just now.
There's no need to apologize.
Your judgment wasn't wrong.
But...
We have our own way of fighting.
A woman?
The king of the mountains, Duan-he, is...
A woman?
If we can take down Duan-he, that'll be a great achievement.
We'll get the power and money we want.
Watch me cut that neck off!
Don't let a single enemy live.
This will be a bloodbath!
Wow.
Cool.
Finish them off once and for all!
He's gone.
Where is he?
I'm here.
Next.
You're so full of yourself.
Bastards.
How is that possible?
With just two swings of his sword, he completely changed the situation.
Is that
what Ci Zou is capable of?
What am I doing here?
As the leader, I should step up and boost the morale of my people.
While the heart is willing,
the body is weak.
I can't move my body.
Hey!
It's you bastards who are getting ahead of yourselves.
With that stupid looking face of yours!
Xin!
Is that Jio Ba?
No.
It should be that boy.
It seems like
the real battle has just begun in there.

This is the sword I inherited from Piao.
Now that the blood has dried up,
it can only show one thing.
