Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Yin decides to leave the Temple; meanwhile, Kang (whose braided hair is a lethal whip) is ordered to hunt down rebels in the South with the aid of "Kim," a Japanese swordsman. Kang lays down the Law by besting Kim in a duel. "It takes a diamond to cut diamonds," their Master observes. Assassins gather for the coming battle. Kang "drinks children's blood" to get stronger...
