Using the dragon-slaying swordsmanship against this mosquito woman did seem to have some specificity, after all her armor closely resembled dragon scales, and her movements were similar to that of a crystal dragon.
Ma Lin knew he needed to be adaptable.
But he clearly wasn't handling this woman well. The mosquito's wings were extremely convenient in flight, allowing her to hover and even fly backwards.
Ma Lin was not accustomed to this kind of opponent, and with her movements being extremely rapid, her dual daggers were as fast as lasers.
The mosquito woman first took a dozen or so rounds to get familiar with Ma Lin's moves, then began to gain confidence, making her attacks increasingly sharp.
Ma Lin, on the other hand, clearly felt he was at a disadvantage.
He then switched to defense.
A true expert always focuses on stability and would not take risks recklessly; often preferring to give up a bad opportunity rather than to act rashly.
