A long gash adorned his abdomen, a masterstroke of the Desire Splitting Blade. Its vile energy spread from the wound, repelling Ye Shikai's Inner Strength. Blood flowed ceaselessly. With his face ashen and devoid of energy, even the Netherworld King's Helmet became ineffective as his body was revealed.
"Damn it." Ye Shikai cursed under his breath as he sprawled on the bridge, enduring the agony to stand up. A shadow darted before him. Refining Mo's kick landed squarely on his chest. Facing the tremendous impact, Ye Shikai spat out a mouthful of blood and, like a kite with its string cut, was hurled away.
Refining Mo gave him no chance to recover, charging forward with Desire Splitting Blade in hand, and commenced a ferocious assault. Ye Shikai dodged when he could, and when he couldn't, he used his dagger to block.
"Crack." Under the relentless onslaught of the Desire Splitting Blade, the dagger eventually succumbed, cleaved into two.
