The first guard tried to capitalise on Ning Shoukai's extended posture, slashing his sword toward the back of his neck.
Fortunately, Ning Shoukai's sharp instincts kicked in. He snapped his head back just in time, feeling the wind of the blade pass inches from his skin.
Realising physical strikes were not working, the guard channelled his water elemental attribute, manifesting several sharp, floating ice-water arrows in midair! He flicked his hand, sending the projectiles shooting straight toward Ning Shoukai!
Seeing the elemental attack, Ning Shoukai instantly ignited his own spiritual energy, erecting a roaring wall of crimson fire before him! The sharp water arrows evaporated into harmless clouds of white steam the second they touched the intense flames!
Through the screen of steam, Ning Shoukai hurled his spear forward like a javelin!
Thump!
