Bruce winced at the pain in his left hand. He also bled, but he kept on. He weakened the folds of the sword at the point where it entered his hand, snapping it so the blade remained lodged in Nexus' thigh. He yanked his left hand back, rock scabbing over the flesh wound, though the pain and damage remained. 

He let the hilt of the broken blade drop from his right hand before Nexus' left caught him by the wrist. He snapped his left hand up to catch Nexus' left wrist, moving around the appendage so his left arm was between him and Nexus' right arm. With two against one, Bruce had the advantage, hiking up his left shoulder to clamp Nexus left arm near his elbow. 

Bruce's right wrist shone with Ki, the blast he'd just used concentrating again to expose his opponent's hand.
