This chapter opens with a discussion of the duel between bufan and Luozheng. It is clear that the duel is going to be won by bufan, who has the advantage of his hands and legs and can choose to kill himself or let go of his opponent. He is clearly the stronger of the two men, and he is confident that he will win the duel. However, he is worried about the effect of the "malefic" aura on luozheng's body. He summons three streaks of the malefic's aura and asks if they will be able to kill him. They are able to do so, and it is obvious that they are killing each other.
