Affably Evil: Lord Chu Pao, who respects his enemies as a Worthy Opponent (despite looking shifty as hell and Obviously Evil), even willing to attempt bribing his enemies and giving them a chance even when he had them on the ropes. His master, Prince Jie in comparison, is rather cold and calculating, and absolutely ruthless.

An Arm and a Leg: Occasionally sword fights will result in extras losing entire limbs, one shot even showing a mook cut down by Lai Ru-feng having his severed arm flying through the air in slo-mo.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Prince Jie, besides being the tyrannical Big Bad, is also the best swordsman compared to his mooks. It takes Lai Ru-feng and Li Hsuan-ping, The Hero and The Lancer, working together in the final battle to finally take him down for good.
