Really?
I
consider
all
that
something
very
good
to
know
.
LEADER
Indeed,
your
reputation
precedes
you,
we
would
like
to
test
it
.
The
leader
turns
to
his
men,
who
now
surround
Shui
Liu
Can
on
all
sides
.
LEADER
(shouting)
Take
him
down!
With
a
top
-
down
shot,
we
see
as
the
men
all
start
to
converge
around
Shui
Liu
Can
.
With
little
effort,
a
sword
goes
through
the
belly
of
one
of
them,
another
has
his
throat
sliced,
between
thrusts
and
parries
Shui
Liu
Can
still
has
time
to
take
puffs
on
his
pipe
.
Then,
with
the
pipe
out
of
his
mouth
he
blows
a
stream
of
smoke
at
one
of
the
grunts
surrounding
him
and
runs
him
through
with
his
sword
when
his
vision
is
clouded
.
Then
he
starts
taking
on
three
men
with
each
hand,
in
one
his
pipe
acts
as
both
a
mini
-
polearm
and
an
acupoint
node
-
hitter,
within
a
few
moves
he
has
paralyzed
one
of
the
men
who
is
carrying
a
spear,
tucked
the
pipe
in
his
waist,
unsheathed
his
sword
and
starts
swinging
the
spear
around
.
Now
with
far
larger
range
than
most
of
his
opponents,
they
try
to
reduce
the
distance
advantage
by
closing
in,
but
he
makes
short
work
of
most
of
them
with
a
few
brief
strokes
of
the
spear,
one
rushes
in
fast
enough
to
slice
the
spear
in
two,
but
then
we
see
that
Shui
Liu
Can
throws
away
one
end
of
the
spear
shaft,
unsheathes
his
sword,
but
not
completely,
just
fast
enough
to
get
the
hilt
rammed
into
his
stomach,
hard
.
He
doubles
over,
gasping
for
air
.
Then
with
the
end
of
the
spear
shaft
where
the
point
is,
he
rams
it
hard
into
the
mans
back
.
The
remaining
men
are
still
large
in
number,
but
they
are
now
clearly
fearful
of
Shui
Liu
Can
already
Slowly
they
start
stepping
back,
a
few
of
them
even
start
backing
off
Shui
Liu
Can
smiles
.

So,
I
assumed
that
you
just
expected
this
rabble
to
take
me
on?
