In nineteenth century China, Jungle Village is home to several warring clans. The village Blacksmith creates deadly weapons for the clans, intending to use his payments to purchase the freedom of his lover Lady Silk, and leave the village. The region's governor tasks the Lion Clan's leader Gold Lion with protecting a large shipment of gold that must pass through the village. Gold is betrayed by his lieutenants Silver Lion and Bronze Lion, who plan to steal the gold. They use the chaos of a fight with the Hyena Clan to allow their co-conspirator Poison Dagger (the governor's aide) to assassinate Gold; Silver becomes the Lions' leader. Gold's son Zen-Yi learns of his father's murder and sets off to the village to seek revenge.
The Emperor's undercover emissary Jack Knife arrives in the village to monitor the gold, and takes up residence in the Pink Blossom, a brothel run by Lady Silk's madame, Madam Blossom. Silver sends members of the Rodent clan to kill Zen-Yi before he can reach the village, but Zen-Yi kills them. The mercenary Brass Body arrives in the village and meets with Silver; he is sent to kill Zen-Yi. The Blacksmith meets with Silk in the brothel and delivers the final payment needed to free her. After arriving in the village, Zen-Yi and his men are confronted by Brass and find themselves unable to cause him physical harm as his skin turns to metal on impact. Brass beats Zen-Yi and destroys his blade-laden armor. Zen-Yi's last surviving man sacrifices himself to pull a canopy support beam loose, burying Brass under heavy stone. Observing the fight, the Blacksmith rescues Zen-Yi and helps him recover as penance for crafting the weapon that killed his father.
Meanwhile, the gold shipment arrives in the village, accompanied by the Geminis; two skilled warriors. They and their men are quickly confronted by the Lions. In the resulting fight, Poison Dagger assassinates the Geminis and the Lions capture the gold. Jack later arrives to inspect the incident and learns that the Geminis were poisoned with Mercury-tipped weapons, leading him to the Blacksmith. The Lions theft prompts the governor to send in his Jackal troops to recover the shipment or destroy the village. Zen-Yi asks the Blacksmith to craft him a new suit of weaponised armor. The Lions suspect that the Blacksmith is helping Zen-Yi and have him tortured for information. The Blacksmith refuses to talk and his forearms are cut off by Brass. Jack, who had been following the Blacksmith, saves him. While he recovers, the Blacksmith tells Jack of his past as an American slave who was freed, but then accidentally killed a white man who refused to let him go. He fled the country by boat and ended up in China, where he was trained by monks to use his body's energy to perform superhuman feats. With Jack, the Blacksmith crafts his greatest weapon; a pair of iron forearms that he is capable of animating using this energy
