Seven
Swords Official Site
In the early 1600's, the Manchurians have taken over sovereignty of
China and established the Ching Dynasty. While many nationalist
revolts still brew within the martial artists' community, the newly
set-up government immediately imposes a Martial Arts Ban,
forbidding the practice of martial arts altogether in order to gain
control and order. Wind Fire (Sun Hong-Lei), a surrendered military
official from the previous dynasty, sees this as an opportunity to
make a fortune for himself by helping to execute the new law.
Greedy, cruel, and immoral, Wind Fire ravages the North-western
China, and his next goal is to attack the final frontier, Martial
Village. Fu Qingzhu, a retired executioner from the previous
dynasty, feels the need to put a stop to this brutality and sets
out to save Bowei Fortress. He brings Wu Yuanyin and Han Zhiban
from the village with him to Mount Heaven to seek help from Master
Shadow-Glow, a hermit who is a master of swords and leads a group
of disciples of great swordsmanship. Master Shadow-Glow agrees to
help, and orders four of his best disciples to go. Together with
Chu Zhaonan, Yang Yunchong, Mulong, and Xin Longzi, the SEVEN
SWORDS is formed and their heroic journey begins. As they lead the
entire village to the road of a safer place, they begin to
encounter mysterious confusion. Food and water is poisoned, and
trails of escape are marked with signs leading the enemy to them.
They soon realize that there is an undercover spy, and the SEVEN
SWORDS must identify him/her before Wind Fire's army gets to them.
Between this narrow gap of life and death, the situation is further
complicated by the blossoms of love. --from
