A fated encounter
Ming Dynasty, the society has stabilized. Though Fung Hang Lit (Raymond Lam) is the descendant of Mongolian royalty, but due to short term memory loss, he has no desire to avenge his country. Instead he longed for a carefree life and lives reclusively with his true love deep in the woods. In order to please his lover Gum Bing Wan (Sonija Kwok), he decides to return to wuxia world to look for the Rain Ceasing Sword, as a result encountering with Hon Pak (Bosco Wong).
Hon Pak was a lowly servant in Lord Yin’s mansion. He doesn’t know martial art, but due to fate the Rain Ceasing Sword falls into his possession. However, the sword was stolen by Fung. Hon goes after the sword and from enemies became friends with Fung.
The world is unpredictable. Hon bumped into the top martial artist Chi Jun Sun (Kwok Fung) who passed all his internal energy to him, making Hon a top martial artist overnight. On the other hand, Fung was betrayed by Gum, becoming a tool for Pong Ban (Derek Kwok) martial art practice, in this way Pong Ban completed his dark energy martial arts. Fung lost all his martial arts and was hunted down by Pong Ban, luckily Hon came to his rescue at critical moment.
Caught between sentiments and righteousness
Hon Pak reconcile with his long lost father, Grand General Hui Yeuk Mo (Hui Siu Hung). General Hui in turn presents Hon to Emperor Chu (Ko Hung), thus Hon’s position was elevated.
Pong Ban was actually the Grand Visor of Yuan Dynasty. He patiently practices his dark martial art and secretly plan to rebuild Yuan dynasty again. He recognizes Fung as Mongolian royalty descendant. Therefore, he drove Fung to the edge, making him understand that the Mongolians are suffering under Emperor Chu’s cruel reign and he should bear the responsibility of saving his own clan. Conflict appears as Fung want to overthrow Ming dynasty while Hon was Emperor Chu’s most trusted person.
Rain Ceasing Sword. Cloud Ruling Sabre.
Fung realized that in order to rebuild Yuan, his biggest obstacle is Hon. Hon’s Cloud Ruling Sabre was supreme, and in addition he succeeded Long Fan Wan (David Chiang) number one sect: Raging Dragon Sect. Fung has no definite chance to defeat him. At that moment, Pong Ban discovered a secret in Rain Ceasing Sword. It appears that Rain Ceasing Sword is the king of all swords, and it embodies a powerful martial art: The Diagram of War God.
To learn "War God", one must first learn the powerful internal energy “Heart of Sword”. And the only person in martial art world who succeeded to learn this level was Chun Mung Yiu (Charmaine). Chun is not only the eldest disciple of “Qi Hong Jing Zai” (Sacred Sect), she’s also the pillar of Ming Dynasty. Fung decides to manipulate Chun using love.
Conspiracy
Emperor Chu is aging. In the royal court, the only talented person is Lord Yin, Chu Di (Evergreen Mak). Fung manipulates the situation and accused Lord Yin of trying to assasinate Emperor Chu, thus the emperor wants to kill Lord Yin. No one knows that Grand Duke Yun (Lee Tin Yu) is the true conspirator of the Mongolians.
After Grand Duke ascends the throne he ordered the imperial troops to seize Lord Yin. Hon Pak and Chun Mung Yiu braved death and rescued Lord Yin from imperial city. Yun promoted Fung to General of Borders while Lord Yin who is now the goverment fugitive, conspiring with the imperial courts...
At this time, Fung has already learned the secret of Rain Ceasing Sword. With his martial art more superior that Hon Pak's Cloud Ruling Sabre; who will win, who will be defeated when they meet? Who's hand will the country fall into?
