Whoosh!
This time, she charged straight at Lin Taichu, her short dagger carving an arc through the air like a meteor.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Lin Taichu sneered viciously, crossed his hands to block the black-haired girl's attack, then suddenly flung them apart.
The black-haired girl arched backward, dodging his shove.
But before she could catch her breath, she felt a chill at her neck.
Instinctively raising her eyes, she saw Lin Taichu's dagger pressed against her throat.
"Stop struggling. It's meaningless now."
Lin Taichu teased her lightly. "My dagger is thin and fast."
The black-haired girl snorted coldly. Ignoring the danger at her throat, she continued thrusting her Short Blade at Lin Taichu.
Lin Taichu burst into laughter and shifted backward, the short dagger grazing past his ear.
At the same time, he drove an elbow at the black-haired girl.
The black-haired girl reacted with extraordinary speed. She suddenly thrust herself forward, evading his elbow while smashing her own elbow toward Lin Taichu's head.
"Hm?"
Seeing the black-haired girl evade his attack, Lin Taichu frowned slightly before raising his left hand to shield his head.
The black-haired girl's elbow struck his wrist.
Smack!
With a crisp sound, the black-haired girl felt her fingers go numb. Her strength scattered, leaving her strike soft and powerless.
The next second, Lin Taichu seized her wrist and yanked her into his arms.
The black-haired girl crashed headfirst into the man's embrace.
"Your strength isn't enough."
Lin Taichu pressed a finger against the black-haired girl's pulse point. "What a shame. You were just a little short!"
Then Lin Taichu flicked his finger.
The black-haired girl froze. It was already too late to dodge.
Bang!
An enormous force surged into her body, flipping her backward.
Amid a dull impact, the black-haired girl slammed heavily into the wall.
