Strength wasn't enough!
Luck had to make up for it!
Muto Sami had basically given up hope of killing Tang Xiao with pure strength.
Her many years of diligent swordsmanship training met its match in Tang Xiao's exquisite swordplay.
In this aspect, the two were evenly matched.
So, the gap in close combat strength left Muto Sami at a disadvantage.
She had already taken many hits, been kicked, struck with elbows, and even stabbed with a sword...
But Muto Sami hadn't landed a single substantial blow on Tang Xiao.
Not to mention cutting or wounding Tang Xiao with her sharp practice sword.
But what could she do?
Thinking herself strong, she turned out to be weak.
Her only hope was to exhaust Tang Xiao's physical strength, to push her to excessively intense movements, thereby inducing a recurrence of old injuries.
However...
Muto Sami's wishful thinking clearly went awry.
Wu Jie had healed Tang Xiao's old wounds, and Tang Xiao kept her promise, maintaining the secret.
