The last man looked at Yu Tian nervously.
He remembered Yu Tian's words: "Three strikes and you're out." From these words, he could infer that it wasn't a slow-acting poison but rather a poison that was conditional, requiring three strikes.
He was still on his first strike, meaning he still had a chance.
Although his energy was almost over, Yu Tian wasn't any better. He glanced at Yu Tian. From what he had seen, Yu Tian was making textbook perfect economical moves and ensuring the least use of energy - it didn't look like he had that much energy to spare.
He could see that Yu Tian was already getting low on energy despite how hard he tried to hide it.
The man readied his sword and Yu Tian did the same. The two then charged towards each other.
