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.
