Tang Ye actually wasn't as unharmed as he seemed. Although he had blocked that concealed sword intent, the continuous attacks had caused him severe internal injuries. He refrained from spitting out that mouthful of blood because once he did, and the Beiming Swordsman and the others saw it, it would be much harder to pretend nothing was wrong and buy time.
At that moment, the Beiming Swordsman, Xiangyang, the spear fighter, and the woman from Luo Hua Cave were all very surprised. Except for the Beiming Swordsman, the other three hadn't expected there to be a hidden sword intent behind the horizontal slice. Now they finally understood why Tang Ye hadn't immediately used the Bagua Defense to fend off the attack, as it turned out he was deliberately saving it to counter that sword intent!
This kid was really something, keenly aware of the deadly aspects and having defused the danger once again. If it had been themselves, they might not have been able to handle it as well.
