Plot:
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou was ruthless and neglected government affairs, and the people were living in misery. The wife of Li Jing (played by Yuen Wah), one of the four famous generals of the Shang Dynasty, Yin Shi Niang (played by Yuen Qiu), gave birth to a child, but it turned out to be a meat ball. Li Jing believed that this was a demon who had descended into the world. After slashing the meat ball with a sword, he found a two-year-old child Nezha (played by Benny Chan) inside. Shi Niang was eager to protect her son, so she sent Nezha to the Nuwa Temple to be raised. Later, she met Yang Jian (played by Chin Kar Lok) and Lei Zhenzi (played by Lee Ka Shing), and the three of them entered the martial arts world. Yang Jian's sister Yang Lianhua (played by Michelle Ye) fell in love with Nezha at first sight. However, King Zhou was obsessed with beauty all day long and favored Su Daji (played by Irene Wan), causing great suffering to the people. Jiang Ziya led Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Yang Jian and others to persuade King Wen to help and support King Wu to lead his troops to attack King Zhou. With the joint efforts of everyone, they defeated the tyrant.
