Han was stalling for time, and Yechen could naturally see that.
At that moment, he did not want to get too entangled with his opponent. The nine Rock Ninja accompanying Han were racing toward them along the path Han had cleared earlier.
Seeing this, Yechen knew it was time to retreat. He had already learned the basics of Han's abilities, so there was no point in fighting further. If all ten of them surrounded him, escaping would become much more troublesome.
With that thought, the corners of Yechen's mouth lifted slightly. He kicked off the ground and shot backward.
