Chapter 261: I Shall Give Up On the Heavens, But Not On My Beloved

Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
Ye Gu Han’s sword had shot out and pierced the armpit of the black-clothed man whose sword had pierced his lower abdomen. The black-clad man exerted himself to draw his sword out of Ye Gu Han’s body. But, it did not budge. Ye Gu Han was actually using his own muscles to jam that person’s long sword!

This was a real fight.

The blood-red sword in that assailant’s armpit had started to move upwards within this short pause. The black clothed assailant was scared out of his wits at this. He then made a prompt decision to abandon his sword in Ye Gu Han’s abdomen.

He dodged and prevented his entire body from a miserable death of getting slashed into two. Unfortunately, it was already late. His arm didn’t receive the luxury of that narrow escape. The blooded sword went forth and separated the arm from his body; and the half of his shoulder. The sword went a little further and pealed-off the layers of his skin — all the way up to his facial muscles. What was left behind… was terrifying to behold — his white bones were bared; his twisting-worm-like veins could be seen very clearly… along with the wisps of blood that flowed inside them.

This person screamed a blood-curling cry as he retreated; it sounded more beast than human. His eyes were exposing the shock that had been bestowed upon his conscious, “My hand! My face! Ah!”

However, Ye Gu Han recovered his sword at an incredible speed. He then quickly took advantage of that moment and stabbed again; it was lightning fast.

Ye Gu Han’s actions; his lack of hesitation in getting hit by the enemy — it had all been for this one moment.

This one blow…

Ye Gu Han knew that his strength wouldn’t hold out in a drawn-out battle. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to face the combined strength of these five Sky Xuan assailants. Therefore, all he could was fight with everything he had. However, Ye Gu Han was a very experienced fighter. Anyone could tell that all five of them were Sky Xuan experts. But, he could clearly sense that the Xuan Qi of two of his enemies was unstable. He could sense that they had sustained serious injuries in the past and hadn’t healed yet.

He himself was now a spent force. So, the most he could do was take the two of them down with him. However, the remaining three attackers were in good condition. Therefore, he couldn’t be as sure about dealing with them. Therefore, those two injured enemies were his primary targets. In fact, they were his only targets.

Ye Gu Han’s sword stabbed him repeatedly. But, the palms of one of the enemies hit his chest. He was happy that he had dealt such a blow to the enemy, but hadn’t expected that his own ribs would be shattered. However, his chest now resembled a whirlpool as it sucked in the enemy’s palms, and held them in place.

That person was aware of the danger and was vigorously tried to free himself from Ye Gu Han’s grasp. He was about to succeed when a cold light rose from Ye Gu Han’s sword, and made its way towards his chest.

The sword of death!

A blood curling scream escaped that man’s mouth as he desperately tried to evade the oncoming attack. But Ye Gu Han’s sword swooped-up in a moment, and pierced him right up to its hilt; it didn’t pierce his heart. However, the Xuan Qi attached to that sword left his five frail visceral points[1] in shambles!

However, Ye Gu Han had finally run out of steam now. He had stuck his sword into his enemy’s chest, but didn’t have the strength to draw it out this time.

One of his remaining opponents bellowed. However, Ye Gu Han didn’t even have the strength to pull his sword out. His right hand was cut-off by his enemy’s sword. But surprisingly, no blood flowed out of that wound — the blood in his body had already flowed out by now!
