Ye Shikai, enduring the pain, tore off Refining Mo's right arm, but his abdomen was also stabbed by a dagger. Even employing Inner Strength for protection was futile, evidently, this was no ordinary dagger. A tactic like injuring the enemy at high cost to oneself wasn't commonly used by Ye Shikai, and now, being forced to resort to such measures, was clearly due to Refining Mo's pressure.
The power of the Desire Splitting Blade was immense, but the most lethal aspect was the fiendish aura inherently within it, which constantly eroded Inner Strength during combat. Therefore, a quick resolution was critical for victory.
While suffering the abdominal wound, Ye Shikai was also thankful for his immediate reaction. If he had let go even a fraction of a second later, his hand would have been sliced off by Refining Mo's dagger.
But what shocked him the most was Refining Mo's "restored" arm. What followed, however, completely overturned Ye Shikai's worldview.
