Chapter 127: Severing One's Own Arm

Everyone was closing in on Ye Shikai, slow to charge in at once, probably wary of his strength, or maybe looking for his weak point. Ye Shikai was not afraid of these minions; his only concern was for Su Qingyu.

"Attack." Someone shouted, and the rest pounced, moving with an astonishing speed that was beyond ordinary humans. It turned out they were all cultivators. Ye Shikai wouldn't have found it strange if they were just twenty or so assassins, but these were twenty-odd cultivators – indeed, not a force to be taken lightly. They thrust their sharp weapons at him, aiming to overwhelm by numbers. Ye Shikai sneered. Did they really think they could defeat him with a war of attrition? His Inner Strength circulated swiftly within his body, forming two Qi Blades in his hands. While darting about, his arms swung continuously as well.
