Bai He struggled to destroy the Taotie Flagship’s self-repairing shield and chose to cut off its solar-energy supply, but commander Lone Wolf sent forces to attack Xiangyang City and its survivors. Forced to defend the city while confronting the flagship, Bai He summoned his God and Devil Avatar and the Peerless Iron Cavalry of Daqian to fight the Taotie assault.

• Bai He considered using the Defying Heaven Seven Devil Blades or his World Projection, but rejected them because of their limitations and the flagship’s shield could repair itself unless shattered in one strike.

• Bai He burst from the moat and released the Emperor Dragon Avatar, whose appearance drew dark clouds across the sky.

Bai He and his avatars defeated the Taotie attack on Xiangyang City and turned their attention to capturing the surviving Taotie Flagship. As Yan’s Watery Viscera Thunder drained the flagship’s shield, Lone Wolf ordered a retreat while the Taotie still had enough stored energy to escape.

• The Emperor Dragon Avatar covered Xiangyang City and the battlefield in dark clouds, cutting off the Taotie Flagship’s solar energy supply.
• Yan protected Xiangyang City with Watery Viscera Thunder, while Azure killed the pilots and captured the Taotie Battleships and Taotie Fighters attacking the city.
• Azure and Yan turned toward the surviving Taotie Flagship, and Bai He chose not to break its shield at once for fear the Taotie might destroy the vessel and Xiangyang City.

• Bai He waited until the Taotie Flagship had traveled more than ten li from Xiangyang City, then Azure broke its shield and the Watery Viscera Thunder engulfed its crew.
• Bai He learned from Lone Wolf and Meng Hu's memories that they knew how to operate the flagship but not how its technology worked.
• Taotie Fighters caught up with the fleeing survivors, and Lu Jun's soldiers and three tanks failed to stop the attackers; laser fire killed nearly all of them, including Lu Jun.
• The Fire Kirin continued carrying Ya Ya, Xia Lin, and Shen Qiang away instead of turning back to help the survivors.
• Unable to endure watching people die, Ya Ya jumped off the Fire Kirin's back.
