Shan Xiaoya confidently replied: “If you don’t use internal energy, and we just compare our martial skills, I don’t think I’ll lose. But if you lack confidence and must use internal energy or point-striking techniques, I think our fight would be meaningless, as the result would be predetermined.”
Hu Yannan was momentarily stunned. “Okay, as you wish. Let me see if your fighting skills are as impressive as your words.” He threw the rope away…
Shan Xiaoya freed her hands from the rope, rubbing her reddened wrists. Her eyes darted around, thinking about how to defeat this burly man…
Hu Yannan raised his hand and struck towards Shan Xiaoya’s face without warning. Shan Xiaoya nimbly dodged back and kicked horizontally towards Hu Yannan’s head. Hu Yannan, surprised, stepped back and caught her kicking foot. Shan Xiaoya calmly used his grip to lift her other leg and kick at his head again. Hu Yannan blocked her second attack with his other hand and threw her foot away. Shan Xiaoya lost her balance and rolled, but unexpectedly, she rolled and stood up again, facing him with a defiant look and a defensive stance.
Shan Xiaoya stared at his cold eyes, swallowing nervously. Her pride told her not to retreat, so she charged forward and threw a straight punch. Hu Yannan didn’t dodge and met her punch with a palm strike.
Shan Xiaoya withdrew her punch and switched to a side attack, which Hu Yannan easily deflected.
Shan Xiaoya was agile and precise. Hu Yannan initially didn’t use his full strength, mainly wanting to see the capabilities of the woman who had been challenging him. The two engaged in battle.
Hu Yannan greatly appreciated her increasing courage and resilience. This was his first time fighting a woman for so long. If he used his full strength, he could take her life with one palm. But today, he wanted to play with her, enjoying her unwilling expression and her desire to defeat him. However, he had indeed underestimated her before. With her skills, if she hadn’t met a master like himself, she would be a formidable opponent for most.
