After using his body protection techniques to ward off a clawing attack to the face, he traps a kick to the groin from Master Zhishan and delivers his own coup de grâce.

Pai Mei's protégé, area governor Kao Tsin-chung and his army, chase the fleeing ex-students of Shao Lin.

Tung Chin-chin, after watching waves of other students fall to the pursuing army's arrows, makes a heroic last stand to divert their attention.

Hung trains with renewed zeal on a sophisticated life-size bronze dummy fitted with grooves representing acupuncture meridians along its surface.

By releasing a vessel in the head, metal balls cascade along these grooves so that he can snatch them to train his speed and accuracy.

They both tumble down the temple steps as the ending explains, "A combination of Tiger and Crane kung fu is what finally killed Pai Mei."
