It seems they underestimated their opponent's strength; the three big fellows looked clumsy but moved quite swiftly, and their coordination was seamless, as if they were a single person. Chu Qi and Yelü Shou didn't appear too flustered and held the advantage, yet they remained in a state between defense and attack, unable to resolve the situation quickly and merely constrained one another.
Chu Qi appeared anxious, and sweat trickled down Yelü Shou's forehead; the two exchanged a glance. Yelü Shou was the first to swing the Ghost Blade, bending down horizontally to cut at the opponent's feet. Chu Qi immediately punched and knocked one back, flipping over to Yelü Shou's left side to intercept the big fellow's retreat.
Just as he was about to hit the big fellow's back, another had somehow already reached behind Chu Qi, two strong gusts of wind suddenly swept in from both sides, leaving no room for evasion.
