~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLOT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the Six Kingdoms era the Chun Empire is stronger than all others in China and launches constant attacks on neighboring areas. The king of the Han Empire, a weak character, has allowed his uncle Han Kuei to assume full power. Han Kuei wants his empire to come under the rule of the Chun Empire, but loyal officer Yen Sui opposes this. In the Wei Empire, there is a patriot called Nieh Chen who has studied swordsmanship under Wu Gee. Wu's maid servant Hsia Ying is found of Nieh. This arouses the resentment of his colleague, Hsu Shih. He is keen on the girl but she does not like him.
During a practice fencing session, Hsu Shih, in a fit of jealousy, strikes Nieh when he is not looking. Wu, angered by this bit of foul play, dismisses Hsu. Seeking revenge, Hsu accuses Nieh of treason. Hsu leads a group of soldiers to kill Wu and his students. Nieh manages to escape the attack with his mother and sister and goes on to kill Hsu later that night. Nieh seeks shelter in the Che Empire but Hsia Ying must remain in the Wei Empire because her father is gravely ill.
A year goes by. Han Kuei plans to eliminate his enemies. His men attack Yen Sui at his home. Yen's guard, Tu Po, saves his master but is killed during the fighting. Before he dies, Tu Po, a colleague of Nieh tells Yen to seek the help of Nieh. At this time, Nieh is earning his living as a butcher. One day he helps a pedlar who is being bullied by soldiers. This act impresses Yen who happens to see the incident. Next day, Yen sends Nieh a present but he has already left home.
The two men meet unexpectedly in an inn and renew their acquaintance. Meanwhile, Hsia Ying is pregnant as a result of her relationship with Nieh. At a big festival in the Chun Empire, Nieh poses as an ambassador and is granted an audience with Han Kuei. He kills Han Kuei and is attacked by his guards. Surrounded by soldiers and realizing he has no way of escape....
