At the foot of WuDang imposter’s posing as WuDang disciples take the wounded Yu DaiYan off of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency and then start to torture him for the location of the Dragon Saber. Yin SuSu stops her brother from killing Yu DaiYan, she then dresses as a man and hires the Dragon Gate Escort Agency to deliver the injured Yu DaiYan back to WuDang. She and her brother, Yin YeWang (Guan Xiao Yu) are then able to take the Dragon Sabre. Yin SuSu is the daughter of the Heavenly Eagle Cult’s founder, Yin TianZheng (Chen Zhi Hui). On his way he gets ambushed by more members of Heavenly Eagle Cult and gets poisoned by Yin SuSu (Wang Yuanke) silver needles. Yu DaiYan is a righteous man and wants nothing to do with the Dragon Sabre so he decides to bring it to his master Zhang SanFeng. DaiYan comes to the rescue and fends off the remanding Heavenly Eagle Cult only to have the last remaining Sea Sand Sect member die leaving the Dragon Sabre in his hands. WuDang when he saw the members of Heavenly Eagle Cult killing members of Sea Sand Sect who had come into possession of the Dragon Saber. He is telling this story to his first generation pupils, all but the third disciple, Yu DaiYan (Zhang Heng Ping) was not present. I don’t like to give spoilers so don’t read any further, however there are so many characters, Sects, places and stuff happening that I needed to go back and read my cliff notes when I’d forget something.Įpisode 1: The series starts with Zhang SanFeng (Yu ChengHui) leader of the WuDang Sect reminiscing about his last days at Shaolin when he was a boy. I’m making this episode guide as I watch the series then saving this post as a draft. The story begins with how his parents met, then tells his trials as an adolescent, proceeds to relate his rise to prominence and reveals the secret behind Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre and ends with the confluence of Wuji’s love life, the Martial Arts sects’ long standing grudges, and cruel fate. “The wielder of Heavenly Sword and/or Dragon Sabre rules the world.” This well known legend in the Martial Arts community is the impetus for the tale of Zhang Wuji. Prince Ruyang asks Cheng Kun, a Shaolin monk with an ulterior motive, for a plan on how to deal with the rebels. After decades of struggles, famine, and bitterness which the Chinese citizens blamed on the Yuan Dynasty’s misgovernment, the Martial Arts sects have begun to rebel. The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre takes place during 14th Century China during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, roughly 100 years after the events of Return of the Condor Heroes. Although I’ve not seen any of the other renditions of the Condor Trilogy I can say that I have really enjoyed these three series. The first two being The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2003) and The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006). Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber is the third and final in the Condor Trilogy produced by Zhang Jizhong.
