"Treasure of the Blind Swordsman" is the forty-fourth episode of Xiaolin Showdown. It was directed by Stephen Sandoval and written by Marc Drotman and Eric Molina. It originally aired in the United States on Kids WB on November 5, 2005.

Plot

Master Fung sends the Warriors on their second Wudai Quest: to locate the Treasure of The Blind Swordsman and, on the way, locate their new Wudai Weapons. While they travel, Jack, Wuya, and an army of Outlaw-Bots follow their trail, on the hunt for loot. Their first destination is Rattlesnake Ridge. While they are camping, and Dojo is cooking out of date soup, they find the first Wudai Weapon, which they realize is guarded by the rattlesnakes. Omi races to the Weapon, only to find out it belongs to Raimundo. Their new destination is a Ghost Town. They enter a haunted bar, and they see the next Weapon, only to be challenged by a living portrait. It does well fighting the Warriors until Kimiko kicks an ancient (and still-full) spittoon onto his head and seals it back inside the picture. Omi was about to claim the weapon, but it floats to Kimiko. The next destination is Cactus Creek. There, the Warriors encounter walking and fighting cacti. The Warriors try to fight to reach the new Weapon, but they get skewered. Clay then uses his Earth powers to punch back the cacti, and the Wudai Weapon passes Omi and goes to Clay. Their fourth destination is a cave, and Raimundo notices Dojo is starting to feel ill from that soup. Kimiko points out that they found Omi's Wudai Weapon at last. To Omi's disappointment, it is a small stick, guarded by nothing. Omi's complaints hurt the stick's feelings, and Omi apologizes, plucking it from the rock. Then, the floor collapses beneath them, and they fall down a hole.

They land in a much bigger cave. In addition, the Treasure of The Blind Swordsman is on a stone near them. Before the Warriors can approach, an old man comes out, waggling his walking stick in random locations. (They quickly realize he is blind.) Kimiko explains they're on a quest to find the Treasure of The Blind Swordsman. The old man explains he is the Guardian of the Treasure, and the only way to receive it is by defeating him in five moves. Omi accepts. He defeats him by distracting him with the "look behind you" trick. The Warriors look in the Treasure but find nothing inside it. The Guardian reminds them there are more ways to see than just with your eyes. Although the Warriors are upset about the Treasure, they still rejoice with their new Wudai Weapons, except for Omi; he asks to arrange a trade, which they decline.

The Warriors decide to take the Guardian with them. However, as they are exiting, Jack Spicer and Wuya ambush them. The Warriors try to use their Wudai Weapons, but the Big Bang Meteorang and Arrow Sparrow cause more harm to the Warriors than to the Heylin, and the Shimo Staff and Blade of the Nebula are not as simple to wield as were expected. In the Warriors' confusion, Jack’s Outlaw-Bots toss them around and tie them up. Jack looks in the Treasure and finds nothing as well. Shrugging it off, Jack and Wuya steal the Warriors' other Shen Gong Wu and the Guardian, but they decide to leave the Treasure. They get away aboard Jack's flying train.

After the Warriors free themselves, Raimundo suggests they look very hard and imagine what they are looking for. It works, and they summon the Blind Swordsman, servant of whoever wields the Treasure. Raimundo asks if he can teach them how to use their Wudai Weapons properly. The Blind Swordsman does that. The Warriors are amazed by their powers, even Omi. They plan to go to rescue the Guardian, but Dojo is out of action because of the soup he cooked, so Raimundo asks the Blind Swordsman for assistance. He summons four flying horses that would lead to Jack's flying train. Raimundo leaves the Treasure, thinking it would slow them down. After catching up with Jack, they fight the new Outlaw-Bots and destroy them with the Wudai Weapons. Jack and Wuya are about to make a run for it with the sack of Shen Gong Wu, but the Guardian takes the Mantis Flip Coin and challenges them to a Xiaolin Showdown Trio. Though the Warriors want to help, Omi says they cannot dishonor his challenge.

The game is to knock the other contenders off of the train. After the callings, they begin. Jack and Wuya each try to use their Shen Gong Wu against the Guardian, wielding the Thorn of Thunderbolt and Silk Spinner, respectively. Their attacks are unsuccessful, and the Guardian counterattacks against each of them easily. Undeterred, both Wuya and Jack use their Shen Gong Wu at the same time. At the same moment, the Guardian uses the Mantis Flip Coin to jump to safety, making their blasts hit each other off the edge, and the Guardian wins. Omi questions how he predicted those moves. The Guardian explains that he used his mind to see rather than his eyes. Then Raimundo winces and exclaims, "The treasure chest! We left it back on the trail!" Kimiko shoots back, "Uh, you left it back on the trail!" For the first time in a while, Raimundo gives Kimiko an annoyed look as she pouts angrily.

By the time they return to their departure spot, it is gone. Raimundo claims it was entirely his fault, but they assure him it was an accident. Studying the tiny prints in the sand, Dojo concludes that it was taken by Hannibal Roy Bean. This is confirmed some distance away in the night by the sight of Hannibal himself throwing back the lid of the Treasure and laughing maniacally as its magic shines forth for him.
