[edit]The film is a spinoff of the original story and the two protagonists Wind and Cloud. The residents of Sword-Worshipping Manor, which houses the best swordsmiths in the world, are brutally massacred after they are alleged to be plotting a rebellion against the government. The young master of the manor, Ao Jue, is the only survivor. Ao Jue vows to finish forging the Invincible Sword, a task passed down by generations of his family which has yet to be completed. Ao Jue attacks Under Heaven Society and battles with Wind and Cloud to obtain the blood of the Fire Kirin which can unleash the power of the sword.
