626 Can’t And Wonst Leave! (1/2)

Having fought to this point, the assassins that were clad in black could already count the handful of Yun Yang's remarkable saber styles. There was a total of six styles, no matter how times they were repeated. Yet, these six styles were well equipped with attacking and defending characteristics, which rendered the killers unable to penetrate them.

They could only attack with brute force and attempt to dismantle the techniques in an unsophisticated manner. Every time they tried, one or two people would be slightly injured.

Although Yun Yang was in a precarious state as the battle persisted, the killers suffered as much as their opponent – the one to have experienced the worst of the attacks was already suffering from more than a hundred and thirty slashes on his body!

They were only external injuries, wounds that were only skin deep without touching the muscle… but they were really painful!

The surface area of a person's body was not small, but once it had been peppered with more than a hundred and thirty wounds, one would feel the creeping fear just thinking about it. It was similar to torture!

The eleven men, including the one whose arm had been severed by Yun Yang the moment he charged, glared at Yun Yang in a hostile manner. All of them were thinking, 'Why the f*ck haven't you collapsed yet! Why the f*ck are you still standing?'

They did not know nor could they have imagined that not only would Yun Yang not collapse, he would bring them a huge surprise. In fact, Yun Yang had been mustering his strength for a counterattack – it was about time now.

The Endless Divine Art cycled through Yun Yang's meridians like gushing rivers. If he had continued attacking aggressively like he had in the beginning and expended his mystical Qi without holding back, perhaps he would not have been able to last until now; perhaps he could have broken the siege and fled.

When the battle had progressed to a certain point, however, when everyone was pushing themselves on, Yun Yang realized with some shock that he seemed to have a chance to turn the tables! As long as he insisted on creating minor wounds on these assassins, the effect would show as time went on.

In the case of attack and defense, the attacking side would always deplete more energy in addition to being constantly wounded – although, they looked like they had given it their all, it looked like they were bickering among themselves as well.

Yet, Yun Yang, who was in the battle, could clearly notice that the intensity of his opponent's attack had weakened compared to when they had not been injured.

Whenever anyone carried wounds on them, they would subconsciously avoid stimulating the wound. This was but a human instinct that even the person involved would not notice, nor would a third party.

It was this instinct that became Yun Yang's life-saving straw – the turning point of this battle!

Yun Yang's depletion of energy was massive but his injuries were negligible. The Saber Truth: Divine Edge was the singular saber truth in this world!

As the enemy's attacking intensity began to falter, Yun Yang's Endless Divine Art naturally performed far beyond the range of one's imagination. It replenished his Qi constantly while recharging him swiftly.

Therefore, after Yun Yang persevered through most of the earlier fight, he gradually grew increasingly relaxed, at ease, even. He had intentionally put up an exhausted front like he would crumble any time to mislead his opponent. In other words, no matter how drenched in perspiration and how much Yun Yang staggered, it was only a façade!

The boon of doing so was naturally to make the killers think that as long as they pushed harder, their target would succumb to it! As they pushed and labored, and toiled some more… Yun Yang appeared to be on the brink of fatigue!

No matter how weary he was, he was still not collapsing!

Looking at the situation, it was, of course, like a freak show, but upon understanding it, life was a theater and all the men and women were merely players. There was nothing significantly complex about it.

As time went on, Yun Yang grew confident that he would retaliate in a storm and escape with Shangguan Lingxiu. Even with observant experts by the sidelines who were ready to pounce, Yun Yang was no longer afraid.
