- Yang Jian and Yuan Hong, meanwhile, were engaged in desperate combat. Yuan Hong turned into an ape and rose up in the air to smash at Yang Jian with his cudgel. But Yang Jian was a master at transformation. He turned himself into a beam of golden light, soared up higher in the air, and slashed at Yuan Hong's head with his triple bladed spear. At this critical moment, Yuan Hong protected himself by covering himself up with a beam of white light. "You damned ape sprite from Mount Plum! Dare you play tricks like this? I'll pull out your sinews and peel your skin away," Yang Jian shouted loudly. "What can you do even at your best? How dare you recklessly murder my brothers? I can't live with you on this world at the same time. I must slice you up into thousand pieces to appease my hatred," Yuan Hong roared in fury. The two fought on with all their strength and used every magic technique they knew, but neither could get the upper hand. "The Zhou army must have broken into our camp and completely defeated my soldiers. It's clear I can do nothing with him here. I must induce him to go to Mount Plum so I can take him captive," Yuan Hong thought. Yuan Hong pretended to give up and ran back to Mount Plum. The battle ended at dawn when the entire Shang army was wiped out. Gongs were struck ordering the Zhou troops to return to their camp in victory.
- When he saw Yuan Hong flee in a beam of auspicious light, Yang Jian gave up his horse and chased him with his Tudun technique. Yuan Hong suddenly disappeared, transformed into an odd rock by the road. Yang Jian paused and used his divine sight to visualize where Yuan Hong had gone. He soon discovered that Yuan was that queer rock lying beside the road in front of him. Yang then turned himself into a stone cutter with an auger in his left hand and a hammer in his right. He moved forward to break the rock into pieces. When he saw that he had been discovered, Yuan turned himself into a light breeze and flew on to Mount Plum.
