The final of the three movies that adapt Louis Cha’s The Legend of the Condor Heroes, this starts with Guo Jing (Alexander Fu Sheng) and Huang Rong (Niu-niu) following Yang Kang (Yu Tai-ping) to the home of the Iron Palm Sect. Huang Rong is critically injured and a swamp woman named Yinggu (Ching Li) tells Guo JIng that only a monk named Duan Zhixing (Ti Lung) can save her.

After defeating the bodyguards of Duan Zhixing, they learn that Yinggu was once his lover. She told them to find him because to save Huang Rong, Duan’s healing powers may cost him his life. That’s because he ignored her to become a master fighter and she had an affair with Zhou Botong, which led to her having his child. When the baby was born, a masked man attacked it and Yinggu begged Duan to save its life. Now, her revenge will be having him die.

Qiu Qianren (Lo Mang), one of the best fighters in the Iron Palm Sect, was the masked man and this brings Zhou and Yinggu back together. Zhou Botong appears and explains the weakness in Qiu’s martial arts and he is finally defeated.

How crazy is it that it took the third movie to finally explain who Duan Zhixing was? Meanwhile, the characters in this movie aren’t even the titular hero, so what’s going on here? Ah, Chang Cheh, you always surprise me. Also: a baby death? That’s how you prove that someone is the bad guy. Speaking of bad guys, when is Guo Jing going to get that revenge that this series of movies is supposed to be about?
