The girl from the Wind Sect acted first.
She disappeared.
Not literally, but her speed was so high that the naked eye could barely follow her. She moved like the wind, unpredictable, fast, and cutting.
Huo Ling did not move. He simply smiled.
When the girl appeared behind him with a compressed wind strike, Huo Ling swung his sword in a wide arc. A wave of fire expanded in all directions, forcing the girl to retreat.
"You are fast." Said Huo Ling.
"But wind cannot extinguish fire. It only feeds it."
He raised his sword.
"Flame Sword Technique. Dance of Embers!"
Multiple blades of fire appeared around Huo Ling, spinning like a vortex of destruction. They flew toward the girl from the Wind Sect, forming a cage of flames.
The girl tried to escape, using bursts of wind to deflect the blades, but it was impossible. The heat was too intense. The air around her was so hot that it burned her lungs with every breath.
