After the earlier clashes, Li Chen had gained a clear understanding of both his own strength and that of Yu Manfang.
However, by the time he realized it, he had already fallen into a trap.
By now, he was almost certain that there was something wrong with Yu Manfang's body. Otherwise, just as Yu Manfang himself had claimed—given the blood feud between them—there was no way he would waste so much time with Li Chen.
If the opportunity arose, Yu Manfang would surely kill him as quickly as possible.
But from the start of the fight, Yu Manfang had adopted a purely defensive stance, aiming to exhaust Li Chen's True Qi.
And now, Li Chen's remaining True Qi was no longer sufficient to sustain an extended battle.
Thus, he could only make one desperate move.
