Final Gauntlet

In the next instant, a pair of blades appeared in her hands. I barely got my own sword in the way of her attacks—even defending myself taxed my wits to the extreme, as the sound of steel ringing on steel rang out several times a second. However, with her focused entirely on me, Chen Huan was able to strike her with rays of light—another of his Beast Techniques. They didn't make her slip up, but neither was she totally unaffected by them.

I quickly realized that the tempo of this fight could go no other way. She seemed far more interested in testing me than seriously killing us, so within 30 minutes, Chen Huan would be able to give her a death by thousand cuts.
