Meanwhile, a powerful bandit leader, Chief Tu, is terrorizing the martial arts world with his legion of killers. Travelling the martial arts world as a wandering swordsman, Li will inevitably end up confronting Chief Tu in his island hideout for a climatic final battle.

Agonizing Stomach Wound: Part of Li-yue's Mortal Wound Reveal near the end. After killing Chief Tu, the camera then pans downwards to show that Li-yue was fatally slashed through the gut as well. He didn't make it past the credits.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: At the end of the film, after Li-yue succumbed to his injuries, there is a shot of his soul rising into the sky while looking downwards at the carnage in the island. Achieved by using wires to lift Jimmy Wang-yu upwards and using negative exposure to make Wang-yu appear semi-transparent.
