• Tang San bound the armor with Blue Silver Grass and lifted it off the ground while Xiao Wu twisted its neck, making the giant spin in midair.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing coordinated their attacks against Yun Chuan’s Armor Giant, using Tang San’s Crane Control Capturing Dragon to set up Xiao Wu’s powerful throw. The giant emerged unharmed, and Tang San sent Xiao Wu back into the attack with the Meteor Hammer technique.

• After two hours of fighting, Yun Chuan and Tang Hao paused, and Yun Chuan admitted he had lost while preparing one final move.
• Yun Chuan used his seventh soul skill and summoned a woman resembling A Yin, making Tang Hao suspect that Yun Chuan was the child Spirit Hall had taken twelve years earlier.
• Yun Chuan formed a towering Thousand Hands Guanyin statue with A Yin’s face and fused into it to attack Tang Hao.
• Tang Hao defended himself against the statue’s relentless arms but, overwhelmed by the discovery of his son, withdrew his hammer and fled.

After Tang Hao withdrew, Yun Chuan concealed that he had not truly defeated him, while Flander and Zhao Wuji accepted his explanation. The next morning, Tang San checked on Xiao Wu, and the two encountered Ma Hongjun harassing Cuihua, leaving Tang San to intervene.
