• As the chessboard began to redeploy them, Chen Fei used distorted space to mislead Wu Yue and stabbed through the back of his head.

• After killing Wu Yue, Chen Fei left the chessboard, but Wu Han ordered him back before the game ended.
• Chen Fei faced Ou Zheng of the Tan Clan and used spatial manipulation and illusory images to survive until their duel ended without Ou Zheng killing him.

• Tu Ying escaped with two Tan Clan members; He Yan survived gravely wounded, and Wu Han glared furiously at Chen Fei.
