Movie propaganda

In the early 1600s, 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.

Fire-wind (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, Fire-wind ravages the North-western China, and his next goal is to attack the final frontier, Martial Village. Fu Qing Ju (Chia-Liang Liu), 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 Yuan Yin (Charlie Yeung) and Han Zhi Ban (Lu Yi) 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 Zhao Nan (Donnie Yen), Yang Yun Chong (Leon Lai), Mulang (Duncan Lai) and Xin Long Zi (Liwu Dai), 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 realise that there is an undercover spy, and the Seven Swords must identify him/her before Fire-wind's army gets to them. Between this narrow gap of life and death, the situation is further complicated by the blossoms of love.
