What happens

Middle Kingdom's Mark of Blood (中原一點紅), also known as Red Dot Chivalry and The Red Mark of Death, is a 1980 Hong Kong–Taiwanese wuxia film. The story is a cross-over between two novel series by Gu Long: the Lu Xiaofeng Series and Chu Liuxiang Series. The titular character, Zhongyuan Yidianhong (literally "A Red Dot in the Central Plains"), is from the Chu Liuxiang Series, while the story itself is adapted from the novel Juezhan Qianhou of the Lu Xiaofeng Series.
