Hi /wsr/!

this one has been bugging me for years, I'm looking for an asian movie I saw as a kid, it left a really impression

on me, and I'd love to watch it again;
- it's probably from the 80s (but maybe the late 70s or the very early 90s
- it's probably chinese
the story is pretty classic:
it's set in a feudal time, in a village that's bullied from a local lord.
A stranger comes in, and he's like super strong and begins kicking the ass of all the lord's goons...
What I liked was that he was (as a remember) a pretty reluctant hero; in the end he faces against the lord in a

swordfight in front of the latter's army, and the lord has the upper hand the whole fight.
It's really the ending that stroke me: the lord injures the hero badly (slashing at his legs if I recall), but the

of course the hero ends up winning. He then turns to face the army smiling at them, and they flee because he was

badass enough to beat their leader.
The hero then immediately falls and dies.

Please /wsr/ you'd be really great if you could help me there in finding that movie's name!

Thanks in advance
