From the recent scuffle, the General had clearly felt that even though Bai Po lacked protective True Qi, his combat skills and strength were superior to his own. If it weren't for the enhancement of his protective True Qi, his brains would have been splattered by now.
As his magical power drained, he knew if he continued to fight, he would surely perish. Thus, he began to harbor thoughts of retreat.
"Your skills are impressive, why don't we call it quits here?" the General panted and then said with a cupped-fist salute.
"Get lost!" Bai Po, with his head lowered and eyes slightly narrowed, responded rudely to his words.
In fact, it wasn't just the General who was thinking of retreating. Bai Po found the General tough to defeat; without depleting his magical power, it was almost impossible to kill him instantly. Although he had now exhausted the General's magical power, he himself was also worn out.
