During the Qing Dynasty, the government saw the righteous individuals of Shaolin Temple as thorns in their sides and sent troops to annihilate them. Gao Feiyang, the vice-commander leading the Qing soldiers, was originally the eldest Shaolin master. After Shaolin was destroyed, the disciples were captured and imprisoned. Gao Feiyang forced them into labor, but in reality, he used this as a means to strengthen their physical fitness and refine their martial arts skills. On the surface, Gao appeared to be loyal to the Qing court, but in secret, he was assisting his fellow disciples in restoring Shaolin. Unfortunately, his intentions were not understood. Later, when the Shaolin disciples escaped and rebelled, even assassinating the emperor, Gao was also killed. Until his death, no one knew of his contributions, making him the most resilient hero who could endure humiliation.
Ti Lung played the role of Gao Feiyang, a lay disciple of Shaolin, who was an undercover anti-Qing restorationist working within the Qing court. Although he couldn't prevent the Qing from capturing anti-Qing activists, he utilized his special identity to torture these restorationists in prison, thereby strengthening their willpower. Those with weak resolve, like Ma Wu, were eliminated by him in a timely manner. Due to his hidden identity, his actions were not understood by others. In the end, although he killed the prince played by Chen Huimin, he was killed by his own people. In the final battle between Ti Lung and Chen Huimin, they continuously changed various moves and weapons. Especially the combined weapons used by Chen Huimin, which transformed from a ji to a long spear, looked very fresh. Ti Lung first used Hung Kuen to fight and finally defeated his opponent using Shaolin Buddha Palm after a prolonged fight that lasted for several minutes. Besides showcasing his martial arts skills, Ti Lung's acting was also commendable. Especially the look of both satisfaction and regret in his eyes before dying after being stabbed by his own people truly evoked sympathy.
