- Synopsis:
- Believing that he is in possession of a cursed blade, the legendary swordsman Fa Chin-shu (Tien Feng) has retreated from the martial arts world to live in peaceful seclusion. However, his retirement has done nothing to dampen his reputation; a young warrior, Lee Mak-yin (Adam Cheng), wishes to challenge the master in order to test his own sword-fighting skill. But as Lee searches for the reclusive Fa Chin-shu so that he might face him in combat, he finds himself entangled with old lovers and new rivals. Soon, it becomes apparent that the old master's sword really might be cursed - and will, perhaps, bring nothing but tragedy to those who seek to wield it.
