Tianming, Shaoyu and Shi Lan continue to fight Da Siming on the Mirage. She seems to have the upper hand, but Tianming draws more energy and power from the sword Momei, combining them with new recipes added to his Cow Dismembering Technique learned from Pao Ding. He also adds in the Taoist technique of Clear Sky After Snow, then Shi Lan uses the Butterfly Dream Escape to make them disappear. Da Siming withdraws, confident that the Fearsome Curse of the Six Souls on Tianming will soon cause his death. The second of the three challenges for Prince Fushu is between Shenqi and Yan Lu, the second household manager of the Confucius School. Yan Lu fights Shenqi with only a small jade carving, avoiding the many strokes of Shenqi's sword Juque with gymnastic abilities. To everyone’s surprise, Yan Lu’s carving then becomes a sword, Hanguang, the Invisible Sword. Yan Lu outclasses Shenqi, however by refusing to take advantage and striking when he can, he loses the bout by a narrow margin. Back at the prison the rebels are trying to escape the flooding water, and with the exit in sight, suspect additional traps.
