!Tropes for the film:
* CrystallineCreature: The plot deals with a mysterious assassin in the martial world who is a crystal statue of an ancient, vengeful warrior, under the control of an evil demon brought to life in the presence of human blood. Or that's what it seems, but the truth is the statue legend if fabricated by a ''real'' murderer who's using the legend to hide his activities.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: The real life method Chinese 'Slow-slicing' method is shown with Shui-jing, the DamselInDistress, being subjected to being stripped naked and having a net made of wire mesh coating her entire body, which gets progressively tightened by her tormentors. Accordingly, the mesh can slice her into 480 cubes while ''alive''.
* ImAHumanitarian: The Three Devils have no qualms about eating human flesh, and they are in fact ready to cut up the Captured DamselInDistress, Jade, ''alive'' for feasting, even slicing up four pieces of her flesh and about to eat it.
* InstrumentOfMurder: The movie has a high-level assassin who wields a ''pipa'' made of human bones. When played, [[BrownNote unfortunate victims within vicinity end up collapsing and frothing from their mouths]], unless their ''qi'' level is high enough to resist its power.
* PopGoesTheHuman: The killer has more than one unfortunate human inflating and exploding after having their ''qi'' overcharged to excessive levels, with very bloody and graphic results.
The movie also stars Creator/YuPoLiu, Creator/JungWang, Creator/SzuChiaChen, Creator/HsiuChunLin, Creator/YuLungHsiao, Creator/HuangChin, Creator/WeiHaoTeng, Creator/YuFenWu, and Creator/KaSangCheng.
