Going All Out! (2)

Right as the signal was given, both parties kicked strongly against the ground and shortened their distance.

Quinlan was plunging headfirst, with both first ready by her waist, while Bai Ling charged with her sword poised forward. If the two met, then it was obvious what would happen!

"Hup!"

But as soon as they met in the middle of the stage, Quinlan quickly sent a short uppercut, aiming for the side of the blade. Despite Bai Ling's tight grip, she almost let go of the wooden sword as it got flung upward.

Without missing this opening, he quickly followed up with another punch, aiming right for his opponent's stomach. But just as his fist started on its way, he felt a chill down his back, forcing him to jump to the side in panic.

*BAM!*

At that instant, the sword that was supposedly sent up came swinging down with deadly force! The marble floor was sliced into two halves with that strike! And with a wooden sword at that!
