Chapter 737: Qin Ling Takes the Field, Wuji Manor’s Prodigy

After just a brief moment of stunned hesitation, Duan Tianyi instantly unleashed all his Immortal Qi, stabbing out with a reverse-handed sword strike. But that Wuji Manor disciple had already withdrawn his sword and left.

It turned out that the Wuji Manor disciple had earlier intentionally let Duan Tianyi hit him, then stubbornly withstood over ten sword energy attacks. His goal was to make Duan Tianyi think he had a guaranteed win, allowing him to launch a sudden, fatal surprise attack.

After all, he could not cross the water curtain in a short time, and pure attrition was not a sustainable long-term strategy. Moreover, judging by the density of Duan Tianyi’s Immortal Qi, it had not decreased significantly. Left with no choice, he had opted to take a risk.

Originally, he had planned to counterattack when Duan Tianyi came over to finish him off. But Duan Tianyi had simply turned and walked away, presenting a perfect, unexpected opportunity for a sneak attack.

The Wuji Manor disciple was badly hurt, but his sword had struck Duan Tianyi’s heart meridian. Duan now faced death or crippling injury.

Not finishing him off is already the best explanation my Wuji Manor is giving you.”

Yao Zi was well satisfied to see Duan Tianyi’s heart meridian severed. Faced with Qin Xiao’s questioning, he simply did not take it seriously.
