在古代中,传说的女侠李四娘的一段缤纷经历被呈现。 sword splitting water, water still flowing, blood splattering everywhere, sheathing sword and gazing at mountains, mountains standing tall, the sorrowful tale of a jade maiden.
In the Ming dynasty, martial arts master Xiao Long, accompanied by his disciple Wang Hu, traveled from Wuyue Mountain to Guangdong for the Martial Arts Grand Tournament. In an inn, they easily defeated the "Five Tigers of Shanxi," capturing the affection of the innkeeper, Li Si'er. However, Xiao Long succumbed to the allure of Li Si'er and spent a passionate night with her.
The following day, Xiao Long and his disciples headed to the Jade Maiden Estate in search of revenge against the mistress, Yang Fei-fei. After an intense confrontation that left both parties shaken, Wang Hu felt something was amiss and proposed settling their grudge during the Martial Arts Grand Tournament.
The tournament was overseen by the Grand Master Qi Daquan, but Xiao Long failed to mention his grievance against Yang Fei-fei. This left her puzzled. Meanwhile, two thieves who had stolen from each other's families came to the tournament seeking a resolution. Qi Daquan sensed danger brewing in the martial arts world.
During the banquet, someone proposed reselecting a new Grand Master, but the martial artists unanimously voted for Qi Daquan to continue his tenure, except for Xiao Long who opposed it. This led to discord among the attendees and caused the martial artists to disperse.
That night, Li Si'er and Xiao Long hatched a plot to assassinate Qi Daquan, steal his secret manuscripts, and frame Yang Fei-fei. Wang Hu, moved by loyalty, vowed to help Yang Fei-fei. Yang Fei-fei's husband, Yang Chong, grew suspicious of the relationship between Wang Hu and his wife. He secretly watched over them.
On one occasion, Wang Hu accidentally stumbled upon Yang Fei-fei while she was taking a bath in the house. Yang Chong, finding them together, flew into a rage and stormed off with their daughter, leaving behind the chaotic scene that had ensued between Xiao Long and Li Si'er.
The ensuing clash outside the village ignited a storm in the already tumultuous martial arts world, setting the stage for the inevitable martial arts upheaval.......
