80 The two men draw their swords and immediately fly into a fast and furious duel with each other . After a series of clashes, the two men’s blades separate . They assume their respective offensive stances while encircling each other and staring each other down . LORD YUN You know why I brought you here? SHUI Because you did not want to see the Imperial Court finish me off, now that they’re onto me and you? LORD YUN Exactly . I would prefer that we be our own judges, and not the court . But this is the price we must pay for letting each other into our respective lives . I am sure you know that . Me, a noble of the Manchu class . You, a wanted criminal . You know well that we don’t belong in each other’s worlds, and only one can be left standing in the end . SHUI Indeed I do . The two men suddenly leap at each other and meet again in another series of clashes . As they fight across the clearing, the leaves beneath their feet start stirring, as if being blown by a cyclone . We see that so far Lord Yun is mainly on the defensive, while Shui is on the offensive . They fight to the edge of the clearing, where we see that Shui seems to have pinned Lord Yun into a corner, and Lord Yun is painstakingly parrying the blow from Shui’s sword . The two men are already sweating profusely . LORD YUN Tell me, what would you tell my son if you killed me now? SHUI I would tell him that you were a great man, and I would raise him as my own . LORD YUN And do you think that I would do the same?
