Weapon of the Soul · 17 pages
Small-time hood Demmy Marston wants to collect the reward on Shang Chi's head and hires Korain the samurai, a former affiliate of Fu Manchu's. Korain dies during the battle with Shang-Chi; his body can no longer stand the strain of taking Fu Manchu's exlixir vitae. Marstons girlfriend Diana is killed by Korain's sword.
