"Die!" Tan Rui shouted as he hacked down at Ho Ming with his sword.
To his surprise, Ho Ming thrust forward with the sword in his right hand and raised the sword in his left to block Tan Rui's sword.
He had gone through all the different possible scenarios with Lin Fan, and this was the most predictable one Tan Rui would make.
"Argh."
The tip of the sword, although blunt, still caused a considerable amount of pain for Tan Rui.
When they saw this, the inner disciples gritted their teeth and nearly wanted to blurt out "cheater" at Ho Ming.
Ho Ming didn't let Tan Rui have time to react.
He thrust again with the twirling wind strike, which Tan Rui rolled and dodged.
The next moment, Ho Ming got close and used the slithering strike on Tan Rui.
Tan Rui turned half a circle and, with a backhand, slashed at Ho Ming's head.
It missed as Ho Ming leaped back.
