The old soldier tells Meng Tian the legionnaires are adept at fighting cavalry charges, and equally strong at attacking and defending. They discuss the history of previous battles and Meng Tian gets a better understanding of tactics he must use. When reinforcements arrive, he thanks the old soldier who tells him of an old hose at the edge of the orchard. Meanwhile at the Drunken Dream House Ji Bu asks Lian Yi if she can care for the young girl while he searches for the medicine to save her. She agrees, as long as he keeps his promise to return. Ying Bu arrives inquiring about the young girl who is now safe, and Ji Bu says they must go to Kwiwei Hall. At the lake, Gao Jianli challenges Tian Ci but finds the young fighter highly adept at wielding his two swords. Searching for a weakness, Gao Jianli tempts Tian Ci to use only one sword and drives him back but does not have enough energy to land a final blow. Gao Jianli then re-absorbs the cold energy and encourages Tian Ci to chase him. Tian Ci falls into a watery trap where Gao Jianli immobilizes him, encased in ice.
