The Blood Sword 2
The Blood Sword 2 is a Hong Kong television series adapted from the wuxia manhua series Chinese Hero: Tales of the Blood Sword by Ma Wing-shing. The series was produced by ATV and first aired in September 1991. The series is a prequel to The Blood Sword (1990).

Plot
The series is set in early 20th-century America. Hua Yingxiong and his family are sailing back to China from America when they are attacked by enemies. Hua Yingxiong's wife, Chen Jieyu, is killed by the attackers while their son and daughter are thrown overboard. Hua Yingxiong is devastated by the loss of his family, so he returns to America to seek vengeance on General Satan, the man responsible for his plight. He fails in his first attempt but is rescued by Sword Saint, an elderly swordsman who runs the inn, China House, in Chinatown. Sword Saint transfers part of his inner energy to Hua Yingxiong and urges him to give up his desire for revenge. However, after General Satan constantly sends his henchmen to attack China House and mortally wound Sword Saint, Ying Hung fights his way into General Satan's base and slays him. He then returns to China House, where a dying Sword Saint makes him promise to never get involved in any conflict again. Hua Yingxiong agrees and spends the next 15 years of his life operating the inn, as well as raising Sword Saint's godchildren.

Unknown to Hua Yingxiong, his children had actually survived. His son, Hua Jianxiong, was saved and raised by his loyal servant, Shengnu. To avoid the Hell School, which has been pestering him to be their leader, Hua Jianxiong flees from China and travels to America to reunite with his father. Around the time, a notorious military-style mafia known as the Black Dragon Society has been planning to dominate Chinatown. Hua Yingxiong initially tries to keep a low profile and avoid conflict whenever possible, but subsequent events leave him with no choice but to interfere, especially when the mafia starts harassing and kidnapping Chinatown residents. Together with his son, close friends and allies, Hua Yingxiong organises the residents to put up resistance against the mafia.

At the same time, Hua Yingxiong also gets into trouble with the Shura School, a group of Japanese ninjas. He also falls in love with Muzi, who turns out to be General Satan's daughter. She is torn between her love for Hua Yingxiong and her desire to avenge her father. Concurrently, Hua Yingxiong faces a challenge from the overbearing Invincible, a blind Japanese swordsman who wants to be the most powerful martial artist in the world. As Hua Yingxiong loses some friends and loved ones along the way, he hears a prophecy from a fortune teller who said that he was born under the Star of Death and is destined to lead a life of loneliness because misfortune would befall everyone close to him. After Hua Yingxiong and his allies eliminated the Black Dragon Society and the Shura School, Hua Yingxiong takes up Invincible's challenge and engages him in a duel. He defeats Invincible but falls off a cliff and is believed to be dead. However, he actually survived and intends not to reveal himself to his son and friends because he still believes in the prophecy about his future.
