While Haru was busy escaping from Bai Fang, Tai was caught up in his own battle against Sect Leader Ying. Their battle had created a large hole near the back-lines of the battlefield, as anyone that came near would either be incinerated by Tai's absolute hot or torn to shreds by the spatial tears that came from the clash between his and Ying's powers.
Tai frowned as their battle dragged on. His mana-core was slowly disintegrating, small dust-sized flakes falling off it and simply vanishing into his mana paths. His eyes narrowed. 'I can't afford to let this battle drag on.' He had already covered himself with his chimera scales and Camazotz bat wings. Confident in his own defense and powers, he started inching his way closer to Ying.
