Loosely translated as “The Invisible Swordswoman” from its Chinese title, this rather unique and intriguing story concerns a highly skilled wandering swordswoman Yin Chu (Lily Li). Because of her special ability of being invisible, she scares people who run into her almost to their death so they think that she is a wandering ghost. Interestingly, Yin is only invisible during the day but at night she becomes her normal self. However, her invisibility is actually the result of drinking a magic brew prepared by her kung fu grandmother.
