[There's no way out of this without some being drawn; Xu Shu understands that immediately, he'd understood that before starting this, but instinct in the single breath before he's going to land informs that while he can avoid the worst in this particular attack he can't avoid it entirely. Mitsuhide is a whirl of steel and dark power, something fearful, something to be afraid of, and instinct is also telling him to distance himself.]
[That is not what Shan Fu or Xu Shu will do. Bending back like that? Dagger still in the stomach? He falls, lands and something cuts into his flesh but before he can even acknowledge it the warrior is leaping up again. He gaze flickers down and revulsion threatens to rise at the sight of that blood and darkness but no. Xu Shu's expression is almost stony as he falls a second time with his feet aimed squarely at Mitsuhide's stomach while he simultaneously pulls on his cord.]
[Whatever happens, one might notice in the aftermath that blood is soaking through a patch on his right thigh...]
