Synopsis
Zhan Fei, a famous martial artist nicknamed "King Eagle", encounters the mortally wounded sixth chief of the martial arts clan Tianyitang, and hears that the master of Tianyitang has been murdered by Hong Qingtian, the clan's first chief. Although he is unwilling to get involved in power struggles in the jianghu, Zhan Fei still finds himself under attack by Hong Qingtian and his henchwoman Yan Bing'er.
By coincidence, Zhan Fei meets Yan Yulian, Yan Bing'er's twin sister and the seventh chief of Tianyitang, and befriends her. Together, they go to Tianyitang to confront the villains and start a fight which ends with the deaths of Hong Qingtian and the Yan sisters. A deeply saddened Zhan Fei leaves and continues roaming the jianghu alone.
