The First Sword(1967)

The First Sword is a martial arts film set in ancient China, where Xie Wuyang, chief of the Golden Dragon Clan, faces a deadly threat when poisoned during a confrontation with Wu Qiong, the ruthless king of poison. His devoted junior, Tong Wanling, sacrifices her own health to save him, only to fall victim to the same toxin. Desperate to cure them both, Wuyang turns to Wanling's grandparents for aid. But as he fights to survive, a treacherous plot unfolds within the clan itself. Yan Zongqi, ambitious and power-hungry, conspires with Wu Qiong to seize leadership and steal the Golden Dragon Clan's most guarded secret—an ancient martial manual that could shift the balance of power. Loyalty, poison, and ambition collide in this tale of betrayal and survival.
