The next morning found Zhou Lihua working up a sweat with Wu Jian. The man wore no shirt as he backpedaled away from her as she swung her two tessen at him with the grace of a dancer. She was fast and light on her feet, even as she admired her sparring partner.
Tessen, also known as an iron fan, was a weaponised hand fan designed for use in warfare. It was a folding fan with outer spokes made of heavy plates and designed to look like a normal, harmless folding fan. This weapon had been originally made for people to take into places where swords and other overt weapons were not allowed. The ones she used were pure red and had golden fox designs on them.
She swung the fan in her left hand and a stream of fire shot from it. Wu Jian swung Pale Moon in an upward slash. Space warped around the flame before it was absorbed into a black tear, which closed up seconds later.
But the fire had merely been a distraction.
