Pang!
Han Sen used his dongxuan movements, thinking he could dodge the officerâs strikes. But he was hit, and he fell like a star. When he hit the earth, the impact created a big hole amidst the ruins and rubble.
âWhy canât I dodge?â Han Sen wondered. He had seen himself manage to evade the strike, so it was a puzzle.
âDonât look at his sword, look at his eyes!â Stay Up Late called to Han Sen.
âLook at his eyes? Why?â Han Sen did not know what that meant, but he did know there wasnât time to dwell on the matter and think it over. The officer was on his way to strike again.
Han Sen wanted to adhere to the advice and not look at the opponentâs sword, but he found himself unable to do it. If someone was coming at you with a sword, how could you not look at which way the weapon was falling? Youâd die if you didnât. This was instinct
Pang!
Han Sen was sent flying again. Even though he was wearing the glove and its protective armor, he ended up coughing blood. The armor hadnât broken yet, but there were some concerning dents across it. His organs felt ready to give up the ghost
âDonât look at his sword! Look into his eyes!â Stay Up Late was badly injured, and all he could do was shout at Han Sen from afar.
âExplain it to me; how can I look at his eyes and not his sword? I canât do it!â Han Sen shouted, as the officer came at him to strike once more. With his dongxuan movements and Heavenly Go, he did his best to try and dodge it.
But the tragedy continued. Stay Up Late had only learned a bit about Han Senâs talents, but even through that, he had been able to dodge the officer. But Han Sen had the glove armor and was stronger, yet despite that, his evasions were unsuccessful, and he was repeatedly hit.
The glove armor was strong, but the Western King Sword and Southern King Wings were, as well. Han Sen couldnât keep himself from being damaged.
âThe hand is the Heart Eye. The eye is the beginning of the hand. You need to see through his eyes to see his sword. That is his trick! If you do not register his eyes, you wonât evade a single one of his attacks,â Stay Up Late called as he healed himself.
What does that mean? I donât understand!â Han Sen shouted.
When the officer hit Han Sen, the felon coldly said, âNight, you are too naive. Even under my teaching, it took you three months to begin to grasp the concept. Do you think he will understand in three minutes?â
âHow will I know if I donât try?â Stay Up Late gave a wry smile.
He knew this would be a difficult concept for Han Sen to grasp, and itâd be a truly incredible thing if Han Sen was able to see into his enemyâs eyes in such a brief amount of time.
But there was no choice. Han Sen could understand that concept or die. There was no alternative.
Han Sen realized he could not do anything to avoid the officerâs attacks, at all. So, he decided to stare into his opponentâs eye and take his mind off the brutal sword.
His eyes were nice. He had thin eyebrows and eyes as bright as a rising phoenix. While they were a pretty sight, Han Sen didnât yet understand why he should be looking into them.
At least Han Sen had known how the earlier strikes had hit him. Now, if he was hit, he wouldnât know exactly how it had happened.
Pang!
Han Sen fell into the ruins again. He stood up and exclaimed, âBrother, are you playing with me? What is the point of looking into his eyes?â
âYou have to learn this and look deep into his eyes. Understand or you will die here.â Stay Up Late was confident about this, and spoke very surely.
So, Han Sen ran back out into the fray. His armor had a lot of marks and dents now. It was pretty earlier, but now it looked like rugged scrap. If this continued much longer, itâd likely break and leave him exposed.
Han Senâs body was already badly damaged, too. He had coughed up a hefty amount of blood throughout the fight, and it was fair to say that his body was in a worse condition than the armor was.
âSave me, officer!â That was Yakeâs voice. Yake was severely damaged, with his arm all mangled. He was running away.
The officer hesitated for a moment, but did not shy from his chosen target He was still going after Han Sen.
The Northern King Gloves were more important to him than Yakeâs life. Although Ji Yanran had the crystal shoes, they were only using her to fight. Han Sen was a formidable foe, and he actually made use of the glove. If the officer took Han Sen out of the picture, getting the other item from Ji Yanran would be an easy task.
âArgh!â Yake screamed, right as Baoâer annihilated his brain. He was very dead.
Baoâerâs armor broke then, too. Not because the enemy had shattered it, but just because she couldnât support it anymore. She had eaten a lot of fruit, but it wasnât enough to sustain continued use of the gear.
Ji Yanran then held onto Baoâer, who slumped weakly in her broken armor. As she did, Ji Yanranâs legs still fought and held off Zach and Zagu. Unfortunately, she was still unable to kill them.
Near Little Angel, Golden Growler killed Rudy. Only Zach, Zagu, and the elusive officer were left out of the attacking forces.
Golden Growler wanted to go over and help Han Sen, but Han Sen forbade this. He bid that they help Ji Yanran first.
Their powers were good, but they had not grown enough yet. And furthermore, they hadnât generated self geno armor. If they came over to help, the officer would likely kill them in a single strike.
âNo... No... Itâs not working.â Han Sen tried staring deep into the officerâs eyes, but it was all to no avail. Nothing was working, and he didnât really know what he was supposed to see.
The officerâs eyes hadnât changed. He looked at Han Senâs body, but he attacked in a different location every time. It was difficult.
Han Sen was good at judgment, but this was the one foe that his predictions did not work on.
Pang!
Han Senâs armor could not withstand the next strike, and it was broken by the Western Kingâs Sword. The strike almost obliterated the flesh beneath the armor.
Han Sen was knocked to the ground, and he had trouble getting back up. If it wasnât for the glove armor, heâd have already been rendered unable to fight.
The officer looked excited. He used his sword to try to stab Han Sen. He wanted nothing more than to kill the human so he could take the Northern King Glove.
Han Sen gritted his teeth, wishing to summon Destinyâs Tower to block.
But suddenly, a scary power began to emerge. And it landed right on Han Sen.
