The girl thrust his spear at Xu Ming with all her strength.Xu Ming had not expected that she would attack instead of taking her kind suggestions, but he still managed to dodge his thrust.
The girl was stunned as she saw Xu Ming dodge his attack. It was her fastest attack and she even used the famous footwork of her sect, but Xu Ming easily dodged that.
She didn"t know that although Xu Ming didn"t have any skills, what he had was the talent and impossibly sharp senses and reflection. He could easily see the complications of her footwork. Her speed was nothing in front of him.
Xu Ming kept dodging her attacks as he tried to find an opportunity to attack back. Unfortunately, her spear was much larger than his sword.
He was having a hard time attacking. Every time he tried to get near her, she would use her spear to attack him.
Xu Ming and the girl, they both were starting to get irritated as the fight dragged on for an hour with no side being victorious.
The girl had a good offense, while Xu Ming had a good defense. This fight had become a fight between both their specialties.
The girl attacked once more, but Xu Ming again countered her attack with his sword.
Surprisingly, this time his sword had managed to cut off the wooden stick of the spear. The main half of the spear flew away as it landed on the ground. Only a stick remained in the girl"s hands.
"W... how? You Evil sp.a.w.ns have me a defective spear! Is this the fair fight, they talked about? I should"ve expected it. You"re the demons after all!" The girl roared in anger as she glared at Xu Ming as if she was looking at a disgusting piece of trash.
"It"s not the fault of your spear." That"s all Xu Ming said.
He didn"t explain to her that it was because of him that her spear broke. In the last hour, every time his sword clashed with the spear, he had managed to strike the same spot in the spear.
After an hour-long a.s.sault, the spear finally broke.
Now the girl only had the bottom half of the spear, that was nothing more than a stick. The problem of her weapon"s long reach was solved by Xu Ming.
Now it was time for Xu Ming to attack. The positions changed as the attacker became the defender and the defender became the attacker.
Finally, Xu Ming had managed to make a dent in her defense. Her clothes were torn off in many places, but surprisingly, she wasn"t bleeding.
It wasn"t clear if it was because she managed to dodge his sword at the last moment or because Xu Ming was hesitating in actually harming her.
"It kept going on for around 10 minutes and her clothes were torn off quite a lot, mostly in the arms and the shoulder area. Quite a lot of her fair skin was exposed in front of Xu Ming, but he wasn"t focusing on that.
His only focus was on his attacks.
Unlimitedly, Xu Ming"s strength managed to deflect the remaining stick from her hand.
The girl was weaponless with nothing to protect.
She fell on the ground, but her eyes never left Xu Ming.
Xu Ming stepped towards her as he pointed his sword towards her chest.
He raised his sword slightly upwards and thrust it down.
The girl closed her eyes in fear she saw the death flash below her eyes.
She was waiting for the pain of her chest being stabbed through, but the pain never came.
She opened her eyes as she saw the situation.
Xu Ming"s sword had stopped only a few inches away from her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at him, but the only thing she saw was uncertainty.
Xu Ming thought that he could kill the girl, but he wasn"t able to. When the c time came, he was hesitating. He hadn"t liked anyone before, let alone an innocent.
She realized that this girl was a prisoner taken by the sect from a righteous sect. She was most probably innocent. His heart wasn"t allowing him to kill innocent people.
He remembered the scene when his innocent father was killed by War G.o.d Zhen. He didn"t want to be like the War G.o.d. He wanted to be the person his father and mother wanted him to.
He couldn"t help but wonder what he should do. The only option to get promoted was to kill her. There was no other option out.
"I have defeated her already. I"ll go talk to Elder Wu to see if there is any other option." He thought as he turned back and started walking toward the exit.
"I won"t kill you." He said without looking back.
The girl stood up with a surprised look on her face as he watched his small back.
She couldn"t understand what was happening. She looked around and finally, something caught her eyes.
She stepped forward and picked the spear. She picked up the metallic half of her spear as she glared at him back.
She started running towards him.
"You need to die, you demon sp.a.w.n!" She said as she thrust the spear towards him.
Xu Ming was surprised as he moved to the side immediately. Even though he managed to dodge the attack, the spear managed to graze through his shoulder. His shoulder started bleeding.
Xu Ming ignored the pain as he twisted his body skillfully and swung his sword towards her.
His sword managed to slice her neck. Her eyes were still open wide as her head fell off her body and to the ground.
The rest of the body soon followed and fell to the ground.
That day, Xu Ming learned an important lesson. Leaving an enemy alive will only harm you in the future. No one is completely innocent as they would all stab you in the back if it benefits them.
