The series is based on the ''Tin Ha Wui'' and ''Japanese Invasion'' story arcs of the comic series. Lord Conqueror of the Under Heaven Society learns from a prophecy by Mud Buddha that he will rise to prominence in the ''[[jianghu]]'' (martial artists' community) with the help of Wind and Cloud. By coincidence, Conqueror meets two boys named Wind and Cloud, and tutores them in martial arts. When Wind and Cloud grow up, Mud Buddha reveals the second half of the prophecy to Conqueror, telling him that his downfall will also be due to Wind and Cloud. To prevent that from happening, Conqueror attempts to turn Wind and Cloud against each other but fails. The rest of the story focuses on the character development of Wind and Cloud, their love relationships and journey to becoming supreme pugilists.
The plot is based on the first two-story arcs in the manhua series. Xiongba, the chief of the martial arts clan Under Heaven Society, learns from the prophet Nipusa that he will rise to prominence in the ''[[jianghu]]'' (martial artists' community) with the help of "Wind and Cloud". By chance, he meets two boys – Nie Feng (Wind) and Bu Jingyun (Cloud) – and immediately accepts them as his apprentices. When Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are grown up, Nipusa reveals to Xiongba that his downfall will also be due to "Wind and Cloud". To prevent this from happening, Xiongba devises an elaborate scheme to make Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun destroy each other, but the plan fails. The rest of the story focuses on the character development of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, such as their relationships with their respective lovers, and their journeys to becoming top-notch fighters in the ''jianghu''.


In the middle of the series, Conqueror loses his powers and is placed at the mercy of Cloud after his followers betray him. He agrees to repent and retire from the ''jianghu'' permanently. Lord Godless, a warrior from Japan, arrives in China with his family and followers and attempts to dominate China. Wind and Cloud join forces to defeat Godless and drive away the Japanese invaders. Towards the end of the series, it is revealed that Conqueror has been secretly plotting to make his return to the ''jianghu''. Wind and Cloud eventually defeat Conqueror with their combined efforts, fulfilling the prophecy.
At one point, Xiongba is betrayed by his followers, loses his powers and finds himself at the mercy of Bu Jingyun. He promises to repent and retire permanently from the ''jianghu'', so Bu Jingyun spares him. In the meantime, Juewushen, a Japanese warrior, arrives in China with his clan with the intention of dominating the Chinese ''jianghu''. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun join forces to defeat Juewushen and drive away the invaders. Towards the end of the series, it is revealed that Xiongba has been secretly plotting to stage a comeback and realise his ambition of ruling the ''jianghu''. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun combine efforts to overcome Xiongba and restore peace, thus fulfilling Nipusa's prophecy.

Plot

[edit]

The plot is based on the first two-story arcs in the manhua series. Xiongba, the chief of the martial arts clan Under Heaven Society, learns from the prophet Nipusa that he will rise to prominence in the jianghu (martial artists' community) with the help of "Wind and Cloud". By chance, he meets two boys – Nie Feng (Wind) and Bu Jingyun (Cloud) – and immediately accepts them as his apprentices. When Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are grown up, Nipusa reveals to Xiongba that his downfall will also be due to "Wind and Cloud". To prevent this from happening, Xiongba devises an elaborate scheme to make Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun destroy each other, but the plan fails. The rest of the story focuses on the character development of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, such as their relationships with their respective lovers, and their journeys to becoming top-notch fighters in the jianghu.

At one point, Xiongba is betrayed by his followers, loses his powers and finds himself at the mercy of Bu Jingyun. He promises to repent and retire permanently from the jianghu, so Bu Jingyun spares him. In the meantime, Juewushen, a Japanese warrior, arrives in China with his clan with the intention of dominating the Chinese jianghu. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun join forces to defeat Juewushen and drive away the invaders. Towards the end of the series, it is revealed that Xiongba has been secretly plotting to stage a comeback and realise his ambition of ruling the jianghu.
