New Chinese wuxia drama Duel on Mount Hua: Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar has premiered today, with 8 episodes available for Express/SVIP viewers, and just a couple of episodes available to watch for everyone else.

Along with the official release schedule released earlier today, Tencent has also released 6 character visuals — two for each of the main characters — Hong Qi Gong (played by Ming Dao), Duan Zhi Xing (Peter Ho) and Yi Huo (Hankiz Omar).

The Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar character visuals came with two messages from Tencent.
