Tang San signaled Heaven Dou City after discovering that Xue Qinghe was an impostor, forcing Qian Renxue to reveal her Six-Winged Angel identity and accelerate her plans.

He broke Yang Wudi’s spear attack and shifted his focus to him, while Flame Hawk gained the advantage over Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Ma Hongjun.
