Roman jumped back as he dodged Noah's attack. His silver whistle was sliced into two parts. A serious expression appeared on his face as he glanced at Noah.
Noah didn't stop. He continued to charge at Roman, having made up his mind to kill his enemy today.
Using his Fist Qi, Roman tried to stop Noah, but it was all for naught.
Noah easily managed to counter that Fist Qi with his Sword Qi. His Sword Qi was so powerful, so robust, and so sharp that it easily defeated Roman's Fist Qi.
Roman understood why he couldn't challenge or stop Noah. He had just burned his life force and boosted his Fist Qi. And now, he was feeling the repercussions.
However, it was never Roman's intention to have a serious bout with Noah. He was merely buying time. Buying time for Gilbert to arrive.
Gilbert hadn't come along with him. It seemed that he was preoccupied with something. In reality, Gilbert was preparing for his eventual escape.
