Chapter 136: Flowing Serpent Strike
Wraith no 4’s mind simply refused to believe that he could be matched by Bella. With how prideful he was, there was no way he was going to accept his defeat that easily.
Honestly, it wasn’t his fault. There were a lot of factors contributing to his current difficult situation. First was his injury. The exploding talisman had done much more damage than any of his teammates had expected.
Because of the chaos that ensued, he had not been able to take any healing pill or potion. Now those ’little injuries’ were starting to have a big effect.
Also, the Wraiths were assassins. They excelled the most when they were ambushing their targets and catching them off guard. Now that they were forced into a head-on fight, they were put in a difficult situation.
With Bella’s skills, Wraith no 4 was quickly put in a difficult position. However, that didn’t mean that Bella had it easy. While there was no change in her appearance outwardly, she was actually struggling.
Internally, she wasn’t in as good a condition as she presented herself. In order to keep up with the ridiculous speed of Wraith no. 4, Bella was using a vast amount of Qi.
The movement technique that she was using was costing her a ridiculous amount of Qi, and she wouldn’t be able to keep it up for long. That was why she had not used any other martial skill.
Normally, after overwhelming her opponent like she was doing, she would have already attempted a killing technique, trying to end her opponent completely.
However, now it was taking her all just keeping Wraith no 4 at bay. Those seemingly ordinary whip strikes were, in fact, not ordinary. All of them were infused with her Qi, making them much more powerful than ordinary strikes.
If this went on for much longer, she would no longer have the chance to end this battle.
And as if the Heavens were listening, the battle took an abrupt turn. One of Bella’s whips strikes missed. Wraith no 4, seeing the opportunity, quickly closed the distance between them.
A surge of demonic Qi surrounded him, increasing his speed even further, catching Bella off guard. With a slash of his dagger, Wraith no 4 was finally able to land an attack on Bella.
