Under the boost of the Fourth Layer's Eight-Step Frog Haste, Ye Weiming was indeed faster than Zangyue. However, that speed was only achievable when not carrying a burden. With a person on his shoulder now, his speed was obviously slowed down significantly, and his Inner Strength was draining faster than his opponent's.
In such a situation, self-preservation was not easy, let alone shake off the enemy - it was incredibly difficult.
They hadn't been running for long when Zangyue already closed in to a distance of less than three meters behind them. This was when Yin Bukui's role came into play. He was held on Ye Weiming's shoulder, facing backward. Seeing Zangyue closing in, he raised his hand and stabbed towards the latter's eyes with his sword. His attack only worked if both parties maintained a constant speed. Zangyue merely slowed down slightly to dodge the attack, but it was enough to slow his pace as a result.
