Chapter 378 - Baili Han’s Perseverance (2/2)

Baili Han was suddenly engulfed by Battle Qi so thick that even the crowd below the arena could feel its overwhelming pressure. Baili Han’s actions became slower, and the sword in his hand seemed to be getting heavier.

At the next second, Duan Qingchou’s sword pierced a few parts of Baili Han’s body, leaving deep wounds. Fresh blood dripped onto the ground, leaving strange red patterns there. His face became even paler, but his gaze was still as steady and persistent as before. The long sword in his hand was slowly drawn back to protect the vital points on his body.

Naturally, Ling Chuxi understood his actions. At that moment, Baili Han’s movements had become slower – they were all defensive stances. He wanted her to figure out the secret of Duan Qingchou’s Battle Qi.

But, if things went on like this….

Ling Chuxi’s heart clenched.

‘Xinyu, I promised you, I would absolutely not allow Ling Chuxi to be in any danger. I, will definitely do it,’ Baili Han whispered fiercely in his heart. It was as if he did not feel the intense pain shooting through his body, instead swinging his sword gracefully again and again to block Duan Qingchou’s attacks.

Ling Chuxi fought to suppress the grief in her heart. She paid full attention to Duan Qingchou’s sword stance and saw the transformation of Battle Qi within it. She had seen Baili Han’s determination and knew that no matter how she persuaded him, he would never admit defeat and leave the fighting ring. If she could not understand the secret of Duan Qingchou’s Battle Qi, how could she be worthy of Baili Han’s painstaking efforts?

Duan Qingchou’s sword flashed again, and more wounds appeared on Baili Han’s body. Even though his vital points were not injured, his whole body was stained red with fresh blood.

There was a sharp ringing noise, and a ray of Qi exploded as Duan Qingchou slashed his sword at Baili Han. Baili Han was forced to retreat a few steps, his chest cut so deeply that the white of his bones could almost be seen. Without waiting for him to regain his stability, Duan Qingchou lunged forward and ruthlessly smashed Baili Han’s lower abdomen with his palm. Baili Han was sent flying and landed heavily on the side of the fighting ring. The ground beneath his body was soon covered in blood.

Baili Han leaned on his sword for support to stand up, but after struggling for a few times, he fell to the ground without an ounce of strength left.
