Li Lian was from the Li Family Clans after all, martial arts was their specialty.
Xiao Fang was skilled, but this wasn't a duel of blades or illusions anymore. This was her domain.
And if he touched her arms to counter, she'd simply block it with her chains, and he'd burn.
Strike after strike forced him backward. He was fighting a losing battle. Even with his speed and instincts the combination of her attacks tested his limits. The one thing he really needed to avoid were her chains. So that meant not attacking her carelessly, one slip up and those chains would get too good of a hold on him.
But then—he vanished.
[ Mimic ]
Li Lian struck an afterimage.
Her brows tightened, she recognized the technique.
[ Floating Leaf Rushing Tide ]
Xiao Fang's speed doubled.
A whisper behind her. She twisted—but too slow. His after image faded as she struck it.
Suddenly she felt it. A sharp jab struck her ribs, then another to her lower back, then another to her thigh.
