Lao analysed the situation. Old Man Xiu was faced with a skinny woman, armed with a bo-staff. On either side of her was the Meteor Hammer user and the silver eyed man named Lei.

“Old man, hold off the bo-staff woman.” Lao said. “I’ll join you as soon I finish with these two.”

The Old man raised his arms into fists. “Not if I get done with her first.”

Lao smirked, “that’s the spirit.”

“Let’s see what your confidence is after I’m done with you!” The Meteor Hammer wielder charged and swung his heavy ball down.

Lao dodged the heavy ball, which caused an indent into the ground as well as electric field. She swung her sword and sent out a ball of water. The Meteor user slammed the other side of the chain at the orb, causing the ball to explode. He charged forward, pulling the ball back around him before whipping it out.

Lao jumped up, dodging the iron ball before pointing her other sword at him, sending a ball of fire at him. He rolled out of the way, the fire singing the edges of his clothes.

“How dare you!” he shouted in anger. “Lightning Meteor Shoot!” His weapon glowed in violent blue and white as electricity coursed through it. The iron ball shot out at Lao.

Lao slammed her sword at the oncoming iron ball flowing with lightning.

“Ha! You may block the iron ball but the electricity will shock you!” The Meteor Hammer Wielder said.

The massive electricity lit Lao up. The clothes beneath her jacket slightly singes and smoked, her hair flowed as if in a strong upward wind but she did not fall to the attack. She knocked the iron ball away, her body still covered in electricity.

Water sprouted out of her sword and she swung it out, all the electricity flowing out of her and merging with the giant wave of water coming out of her sword. The electrified wave of water came after the Meteor Hammer Wielder.

He ran to escape it. The water missed him but the splash spread out along with the electricity, shocking and wetting the Meteor Hammer user. He grunted and fell to his knees. He tried to withdraw his weapon back but the chain snapped taught, refusing to budge. He looked out from his damp hair at Lao who was standing on his chain.

She looked at him like he was garbage. “If you’re going to beat me, you’ll have to improve your lightning control.”

“Oh dear,” Lei said, looking disappointed. “Seems I have to get involved.” He charged forward at her, his cheeks growing full. He blew out a cloud of sickly green mist.

Lao covered her face and mouth while leaping back out of the green mist.

“Ah, you figured out its poison, huh.” Lei said, looking at the Meteor Hammer Wielder.

He took out a pill and swallowed it before pulling the iron ball next to him. Lei continued to blow out green mist, covering the Meteor Hammer Wielder.

Lao dashed back, watching the mist carefully. She could see the silhouette of the Meteor Hammer Wielder, spinning the iron ball while shrouded in the poison mist. The wielder ducked down and Lei leapt from behind him. He spat purple liquid at her face.

She continued to jump back away from him. Her sleeve became wet as she rubbed her blade against it. Bringing the wet sleeve to her face, she rubbed the poison that painted her face purple away. Slowly, she opened her eyes and felt them stinging as her vision blurred.

“Oh dear,” Lei said, licking a drop of the poison that clung to the corner of his lips with his long, deep purple tongue. “Seems I did not get the poison fully in, since you can still see However, the loss in vision should be enough to tip this battle in our favour.”

Lao looked at Old Man Xiu. She could see him falling over as the woman she was fighting was overwhelming his ki techniques with her fighting prowess and fire techniques.

The Meteor Hammer Wielder’s laugh drew his attention back at him. She sighed, loosing hope that she would win, when every second that passed robbed her even more of her fading vision.
