'I tried to be cautious, but I still underestimated the power of a sixth-stage cultivator.'
Ken thought to himself as he reviewed his battered body. Ever since the fire whip appeared out of nowhere and started fighting him, he was accumulating burns in every exchange of blows, and soon some wind blades were added to the mess.
He recalled what happened back then.

A few minutes earlier:
'I will lose if this continues, and they don't let me back off now.'
Ken thought to himself as he deflected the whip with his sword. He was using his Cloud Running technique to help him dodge the whip and the wind blades, but it only saved him from fatal injuries.
With every second he gained another cut or another burn. Although none of them were dangerous, they would be lethal once he gets too many of them.
'I must find a way out.'
