Synopsis
At the dawn of the 1660s, Manchuria annexed China to install the Ching dynasty there. Following multiple insurgencies against the government, the latter banned the study and practice of martial arts in order to maintain order and discipline in the country. Fire-wind, military leader of the previous dynasty, figures that by helping the government enforce the new law he will get rich quick. He planned to attack the last frontier town, a small town called Martial Village, whose inhabitants are reputed to be rebellious and courageous. Fu Qingzhu tries to put an end to this butchery and decides to save Martial Village.
