In hopes of finding Golden Swallow, Silver Roc begins leaving "Swallow" darts at the scene of his killings, thus implicating Golden Swallow as the murderer. At first, this seems a ridiculous way to show how much he cares for her, but it's more of a violent cry for help from a man already consumed by hate. Swallow begins to get the message when she and her comrades, "Golden Whip" Xie Ru-yan (Lo Lieh) and "Flying Fox" Hu Zhen (Wu Ma) are ambushed by thugs seeking revenge. As a venevolent knight wtih a distaste for killing, Golden Whip confronts Silver Roc and although Swallow steps in to avert a confrontation, the two are destined to cross swords. With many swordsmen plotting to kill Swallow, Silver Roc takes them all head on before his fateful duel with Golden Whip ends in a bloody last stand against a common enemy.
