The situation was in a stalemate. Ye Chen did not have absolute confidence that he could save Elder Qing Jian in this situation.
He was not as fast as Yuan Kai, so the chances of him launching a successful sneak attack and rescue were quite low, especially since Yuan Kai was watching his every move.
Furthermore, Yuan Kai was actually a late-stage Creation realm expert, and thus had techniques and abilities that ordinary early-stage Creation realm experts did not.
Time passed slowly. Ye Chen felt that his body could not hold on any longer.
There was not much strength left in his body. Not only that, the effect of the Blood Energy Ten Directions Technique had already disappeared.
Intense pain wracked his body, making him wish he was dead. However, to prevent Yuan Kai from noticing anything, he endured it silently.
He was getting more and more anxious. Yuan Kai could drag it out, but he could not.
