Xiao Jianming did not continue his attacks. He’d already noticed Fang Xing was not wounded whatsoever, and he no longer had enough of a power advantage to take the boy’s life with a single strike. Even if he did continue, Xu Linyun would assuredly come to Fang Xing’s aid; not only would he be unable to kill Fang Xing if that happened, but he would also end up offending Xu Linyun.
As Xiao Jianming considered the issue, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. "Boy, since you already attacked me earlier, why don’t we battle it out fair and square? If you have the guts, that is. How about I even let you have the first ten strikes? Heh, hiding behind a woman, what kind of ability is that?" He wanted to incite Fang Xing into making the first attack so he could have a reasonable excuse to get rid of the boy.
Fang Xing, however, was not easily fooled. "I have the ability to convince a woman to let me hide behind her. What, are you mad?"
