Though Chen Rui was on the defensive, he knew Jess could not maintain that state for long, so he wisely adopted a strategy of avoiding the enemy's sharp edge. He had Pagliu's cheating training to thank for that. Jess was even faster than before, but he had not reached the level of pressure imposed at the Poison Dragon's most intense training. Thus, though Chen Rui was in a sorry state, he still effectively evaded the Dark Elf's attacks.
Sure enough, after holding on for a while, Jess's strength began to weaken rapidly, just like when Blood Hand Langke had used his Berserk talent. Seizing the moment, Chen Rui was about to launch a counterattack when Jess suddenly gave a low shout and leaped high into the air, driving both daggers straight down at his head. Though this aerial downward strike was fierce and powerful, there was nothing to brace against in midair, making it easy to counter. For someone built for speed like Jess, it was an unwise tactic.
