Kahn wiped away the traces of blood on his lips. He was vicious and had a few hints of madness as though coughing out blood was nothing to him.
Mo Shitian’s face had a few hints of viciousness. Although he looked pale, his presence was no less aggressive. Everybody secretly admired how he was indeed a tough man. As he looked around, his gaze landed on Su Ruyu’s leg, and he asked her, “Is it unbearable?”
Su Ruyu shook her head. Her injury was minor and she was all fine.
“Dear Old Witch, he is your old flame, so where does that put Wolf? Weren’t you lovers with him for over ten years?” Kahn viciously spat. Bai Ye, Su Man, and the others were slightly shocked whilst Bai Ye gently frowned.
That damn Kahn was sure scheming enough to bring up Wolf now. Judging from Mo Shitian’s bloodshot eyes, describing Old Witch and Wolf as lovers was something Old Witch had not mentioned to Mo Shitian.
This man was so head over heels for Su Ruyu that it certainly triggered him. They could feel his anger emanating before he suddenly roared and rushed at Kahn with both palms.
Panicked, Su Ruyu quickly swept at Kahn with her feet. That damn abomination was undoubtedly Wolf’s masterpiece. Mo Shitian was enraged, and she was as enraged too.
Indeed, she had yet to clearly explain to Mo Shitian about her relationship with Wolf and was waiting to clear the air when Wolf came. Little did she expect Kahn to blow everything into the open like this.
Su Ruyu was panicking and angry. She was afraid that Mo Shitian would lose control and injure himself. But she was overly worried. While Mo Shitian was indeed enraged, he was exceptionally cool and met each move calmly, viciously, and steadily.
Kahn, who was slightly taken aback, did not expect Mo Shitian to remain rational despite the provocation and still attack relentlessly. A few moves later, both Kahn and Mo Shitian had a few more injuries. It was Su Ruyu who was not injured instead. Since Kahn was primarily after Su Ruyu, Mo Shitian would have stood in the line of fire once Su Ruyu was injured or tried to distract Kahn and take the injuries that were meant for her. Kahn hence had no chance to viciously wound Su Ruyu.
As time passed…
Kahn did not expect Mo Shitian to be such a hard opponent to shake off and inevitably panicked. Mo Shitian, sensing he was panicking, coldly laughed and said, “Hey, young chap, it sure is amazing that even a cyborg like you can’t defeat me.”
Enraged, Kahn suddenly opened his hands and went for Mo Shitian’s throat. Mo Shitian dodged it and with a reverse-push, hit Kahn in the chest. Kahn coughed out blood again.
Mo Shitian, already bloodied from both Kahn and his own blood, was clearly losing blood. His lips had turned pale, and his slightly hurried breath showed that his strength was starting to falter.
Both of them had reached their thresholds, but neither was willing to budge.
Unfazed by his coughing of blood, Kahn shielded his face and attacked again. Su Ruyu darted behind Mo Shitian and opened her hands, suddenly shooting a row of silver needles at Kahn. Keenly sensing the needles, Kahn deftly avoided them. Mo Shitian, who did not avoid the needles, grabbed the needles in a reverse-grip. As Su Ruyu squinted, she raised her hand and silver needles flew toward Kahn. Mo Shitian moved his hands and shot silver needles toward Kahn as well.
The three of them formed a triangle. Su Ruyu and Mo Shitian attacked Kahn in a pincer formation whilst Kahn dodged to either side. Kahn managed to dodge Mo Shitian’s silver needles, and he raised his sleeve to also avoid Su Ruyu’s silver needles.
The two of them confronted each other once again. Mo Shitian, who had lost much blood, was a tad slower. Although he was perfectly in sync with Su Ruyu earlier, his lack of speed put Su Ruyu in danger when she was hit by Kahn’s claws. Su Ruyu was flung out and hit the wall before collapsing.
Mo Shitian’s eyes burned as he roared and regained all the strength in him. Returning to his most aggressive state, he landed aggressive palm strikes on Kahn’s chest. Although Kahn avoided Mo Shitian’s palm strikes, his eyepatch fell to reveal a terrifying-looking eye whose surroundings seemed to have stuck together. “You ugly detestable thing!” Mo Shitian called him out mockingly.
Su Ruhua and Bai Ye quickly hurried over to help Su Ruyu up. Bai Ye, who was about to leap forward and go over to help, was overcome by Kahn in a few moves. Kahn lodged his claws into Bai Ye’s back and left five very deep gashes.
No longer able to sit by, Cloud and Wind joined in the fray and did whatever they could to relieve Mo Shitian’s burden. Su Man held Bai Ye who was sweating buckets but did not show the slightest pain. As Bai Ye was about to rush up to help, Su Man forcefully stopped him from anyhow moving.
Cloud and Wind, who were both flung far out by Kahn, were also wounded. Mo Shitian was the only person left who could take Kahn on. Thanks to his mutation, Kahn was too fast and in perfectly twisted physical condition for any mortal man to keep up with. While Mo Shitian felt fatigued getting to him, Kahn nary felt any fatigue. Instead, an intensifying bloodlust engulfed him. He desired to kill them all.
The smell of blood permeated the great hall.
Su Ruhua did not stop wiping the blood from Su Ruyu’s lips. “Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu…” Su Ruhua’s heart ached.
Su Ruyu shook her head and told her not to worry as she could still bear those injuries. Su Ruhua relaxed and was about to go up to help Mo Shitian, but Su Ruyu stopped her. “No, you’ll not. Just sit by.”
She knew how Su Ruhua would fare. She would also be injured by Kahn just moments into battle, and it would be better for her to sit it out.
“Xiaoyu, let me go. Mo Shitian can’t handle this alone.”
“He still has me. Elder sister, if you do not want me to be even more worried, just sit aside.” Su Ruyu calmed herself down and pushed Su Ruhua away before taking Kahn on with Mo Shitian.
She did not believe that Kahn was unbeatable!
Su Ruhua’s eyes reddened when Su Ruyu called her ‘elder sister’. Was she forgiven? If she still worried about her safety even under such circumstances… Ruyu, oh, Ruyu… Su Ruhua gritted her teeth. She could not suppress the sadness and guilt in her.
