Best Wuxia movie?

Obviously, the uncut Red Cliff.

Best film of any sort of the period. Nolan Batman aint got crap on it.

Ying Xiong, the colour play is magnificent.

Wuxia means any martial art movies taking place in China, right?

Ip man 1 to 4
Fearless
Drunken master 2

Not quite. It's typically fantasy or ancient-historical setting, so 18th-20th Century stuff like Ip doesn't count.

Although there's exceptions like Once Upon a Time in China, which takes place at the very end of the Qing dynasty (the late 19th Century).

Once Upon a Time in China was really good if I remember right. Been a while since I've seen it.

Wow, I didn't realize Zeram was that old. I loved the first one, that's if I'm not confusing it with another with a similar name. Bounty hunter that is trying to track down a super powered bio-killing machine thingy.
