As Chen Zin's flaming sword sliced through the air, Ming Yuelin barely managed to twist her body and avoid the brunt of the attack.
However, the flames that danced along Chen Zin's blade grazed her arm, scorching the fabric of her sleeve and leaving a searing burn on her skin.
"Ugh..." Ming Yuelin gritted her teeth, feeling the sharp sting of the burn.
But she didn't have time to dwell on the pain as Chen Zin infused her sword with flames, and she swung it with deadly precision, aiming to finish the fight.
Chen Zin smirked, seeing the first sign of weakness in Ming Yuelin.
She launched herself forward again, her sword glowing brightly as the flames around it intensified.
*woosh* Ming Yuelin dodged narrowly, but the fire element was fast, and the burning heat singed her cheek.
"Shii..." Ming Yuelin could feel the heat on her skin, and winced in pain as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
Her movements were swift, but every dodge and counterattack left her narrowly avoiding another searing strike from Chen Zin's blade.
Finally, Chen Zin saw an opening and with a grin, she swept her sword low, aiming for Ming Yuelin's legs.
Ming Yuelin tried to leap back, but the tip of the sword caught her thigh, the fire cutting through her skin like a hot knife through butter.

"Ahhh!" Ming Yuelin gasped in pain, her leg buckling as she stumbled backward.
Blood trickled down her leg, staining the ground beneath her.
Chen Zin grinned in her mind seeing this 'Although it feels awful to defeat her when she doesn't even have her weapon.. A win is a win.'
But Ming Yuelin wasn't finished.
Despite the pain radiating through her body, her eyes blazed with flames.
*swoosh* Just as Chen Zin charged forward, convinced of her victory, Ming Yuelin's instincts kicked in.
She dropped to a crouch, letting Chen Zin's flaming sword swing harmlessly over her head, and with a burst of strength, she threw herself forward, slamming her shoulder into Chen Zin's midsection.
"What—?!"
Chen Zin staggered back, shocked by the sudden shift in momentum.
Before she could regain her balance, Ming Yuelin sprang to her feet, her body moving with a wild grace.
With a swift, fluid motion, she pivoted and delivered a sharp elbow strike to Chen Zin's ribs, the force of the blow sending Chen Zin stumbling to the side.
But Ming Yuelin was ready.
*woosh* Just as Chen Zin's sword came crashing down, Ming Yuelin ducked under the blow and, in a flash, grabbed her opponent's wrist.
Twisting sharply, she forced Chen Zin to drop the flaming sword, the weapon clattering to the ground in a burst of embers.
*clank* Chen Zin gasped in shock, her eyes widening.
Before Chen Zin could react, Ming Yuelin delivered a devastating knee jab to her abdomen, doubling her over in pain.
"Urghhh!" Blood sprayed from Chen Zin's mouth as the impact crushed the air from her lungs.
Not giving her a chance to recover, Ming Yuelin spun and delivered a brutal elbow strike to the back of Chen Zin's head, sending her crashing to the ground in a heap. *thud*
Chen Zin lay on the ground, her body trembling from the pain, blood pooling beneath her.
She tried to rise, but her legs refused to cooperate.
Ming Yuelin stood over her, battered and bleeding as her chest heaved with exhaustion, but her eyes remained cold and focused
Her exhaustion took over her and her eyes trembled as she took a step back staggering "M-Master..."
*flick* Zhang Yuan appeared behind her and her back fell on the warmth of his chest.
Through her dried throat, she managed to mutter "Master..."
Feeling a refreshing energy passing through her body, she closed her eyes in satisfaction and leaned onto him "Haa..."
Jin Wei also hurriedly came there and saw Chen Zin who was lying unconscious on the ground after depleting all of her energy.
"Zin'er.."
She slowly took her up and took a healing pill from her storage ring.
However, Zhang Yuan raised hiss hand "Bring her to me..."
"Senior Yuan..."
After being fully healed, Ming Yuelin let out a faint chuckle "Master.. see I told you I would win."
Zhang Yuan's eyes softened "Yeah.. you fought really well."
