The Buddhism Palm Strikes Back

The "Buddha's Palm" is the most powerful skill in the jianghu any martial artist can learn. A long time ago, Long Jianfei mastered the skill and used it to defeat his rival Tian Canjiao, and had since retired from the jianghu. Long had not only laid down a rule forbidding his descendants from learning the skill, but also hidden the manual for the skill to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

70 years later, a mysterious red-haired martial artist known as Huoyun Xieshen emerges in the jianghu and causes havoc by attacking the five major martial arts schools. The five schools mistakenly believe that Long Jiansheng, a descendant of Long Jianfei, is responsible for the attacks so they turn on him. In fact, Long Jiansheng does not know martial arts and relies on his wit and intelligence to survive. When Huoyun Xieshen hears about Long Jiansheng's background, he starts harassing Long to force him to hand over the "Buddha's Palm" manual.

Long Jiansheng meets Gongsun Lingfeng from the Emei School, and she falls in love with him and follows him on his adventures. At one point, she gives up her virginity to save his life after he is poisoned by Huoyun Xieshen. Long Jiansheng loses his memory after regaining consciousness and meets Feng Qingqing and falls in love with her. However, when he remembers everything, he finds himself caught in a love triangle with Feng Qingqing and Gongsun Lingfeng.

Throughout his adventures, Long Jiansheng learns martial arts from extraordinary people, such as Dongdao Changli. Eventually, he finds the "Buddha's Palm" manual in the old Long family residence and masters the skill, becoming an invincible fighter and defeating Huoyun Xieshen. However, he is unaware that Tian Xiang, a descendant of Tian Canjiao, has been secretly plotting to kill him to avenge her ancestor. Long Jiansheng and Tian Xiang have a final showdown and Long emerges victorious eventually, restoring peace and becoming a respected hero in the jianghu.
