Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (Season 1)

Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (倚天屠龙记, 2019) is a Chinese wuxia series you can watch online on iFILM. The Yuan Dynasty is crumbling, and rival martial arts sects are tearing the realm apart — all of them hunting for the same two weapons.

Legend holds that whoever controls the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre rules the martial world. Zhang Wuji grows up an orphan — his family destroyed by those chasing that legend — and wants nothing to do with the power struggle. Events keep dragging him back in. Zeng Shunxi carries the lead; Yukee Chen and Zhu Xudan play the women at the centre of his increasingly tangled loyalties.

The series adapts Jin Yong's classic novel, the closing book of his Condor Heroes trilogy, and one of the most-adapted stories in Chinese popular fiction. Director Jeffrey Chiang leans into romance and political intrigue over fight choreography. Stream Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (2019) online on iFILM.
