Hongying fought like a battlefield general, commanding a well-drilled army as she launched wave after wave of attacks against Shi Wei and Jifeng. Yet the two men not only dodged swiftly, but also constantly counterattacked. Although she had been extremely careful, and Brother Shi Yan kept protecting her from the front, these two were simply too bizarre! Every single time, the pair perfectly evaded both her pursuits and Shi Yan's protection, slipping right past to her side. After dozens of failed attempts to block them, they finally closed in.
Hongying thought to herself that this was fine as well; she had no desire to drag this out any longer anyway, and her Spiritual Power was almost depleted. But she was confident that Shi Wei and Jifeng must have burned through a massive amount of Spiritual Power during all that dodging, too! While her own situation wasn't much better, at least Brother Shi Yan still had plenty of strength left, so they would surely win in the end. To her dismay, however, she soon discovered that engaging Shi Wei and Jifeng in close combat was an absolute, fatal mistake!
Hongying had originally assumed that she had learned close-combat martial techniques—and quite a few of them at that. Even if she couldn't match Shi Wei, who specialized in close quarters, she figured she wouldn't fall too far behind!
