Dongfang Yuechu decides to reveal more about the Gold Fire God's shady past in order to distract him and give Honghong advantage. He reveals that Huoshen had been a disciple of the Dongfang house head and constantly pestered him for marriage into the Dongfang clan and when that failed betrayed his master. He used a blood transferal technique to steal his master's Dongfang blood and replace his own blood with it granting him the power of the Dongfang clan to summon Pure Yang Flame before killing his master. Huoshen, shocked Dongfang Yuechu knows all this, is distracted and tries to deny it, but gets punched by Honghong's Qumoyishi (Demon expelling punch) and is gravely wounded.
Huoshen then takes a magic Flaming Red Pill (赤练妖丹) that allows him to recover and vastly increases his spirit power for a brief time allowing him to achieve the Gold Form of Pure Flame Armor (火质纯正 金光护体). Huoshen begins to attack his own allies, not wanting any of them to know of his dark past.
After dealing with the Daoists he launches himself into the air and begins summoning a gigantic fireball to destroy Tushan. Honghong begins holding up the fireball with her Invincible Claws, but sustains heavy damage from the Pure Yang Flame.
Yaya tries to help using Faxiang Tiandi (法相天地), while Honghong tries to tell Rongrong and the others to flee for their lives knowing she can't save them. Dongfang takes Honghong's hand telling her he will now tell her his family's most closely guarded secret. He then stabbed himself through the chest with Honghong's own hand and, coughing up blood, kisses her on the lips. Honghong's power is vastly magnified and she leaps through the fireball unharmed and punches a hole straight through Huoshen's chest.
Honghong after killing Huoshen asks what Dongfang's name is.
