New Friends

Han Ming nodded his head as if it weren't for Shen Yuan's help they would both have died in the claws of this beast.

Han Ming sprinted towards the panther and swung his saber in a big arc to attack the center of the panther's head. The panther swiped its claws on the incoming saber and reflected it to the side. 

Just as the beast tried to jump forward to bite the head of Han Ming, Li Yu jumped from the back and swiped her short sword on the stomach of the panther, making it bleed a little but not fatal enough.

Shen Yuan didn't budge an inch as he knew it wasn't yet time to attack, he was still waiting for that slight chance to kill the panther in one strike.

Han Ming pushed himself further as he continued hacking at the panther, which continued to parry the attacks as it swiped its claws left and right.

He was exerting himself fully to keep the beast occupied, he fought for another 100 rounds and finally managed to strike the panther's back.
