The fighter aircraft[1] that invaded the country's territorial airspace was of unknown origin.

After Bai Luo Yin's fighter aircraft successfully ascend into the skyline, he swiftly launched into a thorough search of the immediate surrounding for the exact location of the other fighter aircraft. However, since the size of the fighter aircraft is small, its infrared radiation signal is rather low, it was relatively difficult for the radar to detect and track its whereabouts. At this point, Bai Luo Yin could only rely on his naked eyes to search. Taking full advantage of the fact that the aircraft he flew was designed for high speed performances, he rapidly lessened the gap between him and the enemy target.

At last, Bai Luo Yin has pinpointed the target, and with utilizing his sharp-witted and fast reflexes, he shot out a missile. To his surprise, the enemy aircraft immediately released an interference missile and astutely avoided Bai Luo Yin's missile attack. Seizing this opportunity, Bai Luo Yin continued to pursue and attack the formidable enemy, seemingly pushing it to retreat.

Constantly accelerating in the air, his relentless pursuit and attack led him to traverse all of China's land until he reached the western regions. At first, the enemy aircraft had employed an evasion tactic since it did not expect that Bai Luo Yin would pursue relentlessly and strike fiercely. Eventually, the enemy aircraft could not bear the burden of defeated, consequently causing it to retaliate and utilize an all-out attack tactic instead. As a result, the two fighter aircrafts launched into a fierce combat in the air.

The enemy's fighter aircraft that had been flying at a relatively low speed the entire time suddenly accelerated the moment it was in a good firing range, and immediately shot a missile. In just a split second, Bai Luo Yin promptly evaded the missile as his aircraft agilely performed a Herbst maneuver.[2]

After twisting and turning the aircraft a few more times, the capacity at which Bai Luo Yin's body could withstand the force of these overturned maneuvers[3] were quickly approaching its limit. As a gush of blood rushed down from his temple, his brain quickly lost its supply of blood which in turn caused his vision to become blurry.

However, not even a hint of fear lied dormant in his heart. In his eyes, everything was unworthy of his attention.

Suddenly, Bai Luo Yin received another warning from the traffic collision avoidance system[4] informing that the two aircrafts was about to intersect.

Hearing this, Bai Luo Yin subconsciously performed another high-speed and rather risky maneuver which threw the enemy's aircraft directly in front of him, making this an optimum position to launch an attack. With this, the enemy aircraft that intended to mount a sneak attack from behind did not get a chance to employ its tactic since Bai Luo Yin's aircraft ended up behind it instead. Now, it was clear that the enemy aircraft was at a complete disadvantage.

Bai Luo Yin seized this grand opportunity to attack. Just as the first missile was launched, the left wing of the enemy's aircraft ignited into an enormous fire. Immediately after, the second missile was launched, causing an earth-shattering 'BOOM' to resonate as the enemy's aircraft exploded in the air. In just seconds, the fragments exploded in all directions before changing into a thick cloud of smoke in front of Bai Luo Yin's eyes.

Just as Bai Luo Yin prepared to return, the body of the aircraft suddenly shook irregularly.

Bai Luo Yin immediately attempted to eliminate this malfunction, but unfortunately, each and every one of the control panel has gone out of control. As a result, the aircraft began to veer in a downward motion. At the moment, Bai Luo Yin's head was already facing downward which caused his brain to be in a severe hyperemia state.[5] Since both of his legs were hanging in air, it made it difficult for him to reach the control lever. And, even if he wanted to control the aircraft, it was already a challenge in and of itself.
