SEVEN
SWORDS tells the story of seven unlikely heroes gathered
together to save a village from the massacre of a general
that is seeking a fortune through killing. In the early 1600,
the long ruling Ming Dynasty has been overthrown, and the
Manchurian invaders from the north have taken over the sovereignty,
beginning what is known as the Ching Dynasty, and a highly
oppressive reign thus begins. In order to prevent rebels developing
revolutionary plots, the newly set-up government immediately
imposes a ruthless emergency martial law, ordering all martial
art practitioners to turn in their weapons to district officials.
Those who fail to do so will be considered committing a serious
crime and would result to immediate execution. But soon enough,
people would discover that even if they were to obey the law
and turn in their weapon, their fate is equally in dire. Wind
Fire, 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. After endless massacres,
Wind Fire next goal is to attack the final frontier, the village
of Bowei FortressˇKˇK.
