Blades of Secrets: The Endless Night

CHAPTER 3

Cheng Xing slammed Wen Zhang to the floor with an *oompf*. Cheng Xing's blue tank top was sweaty, his black pants basically clinging to him. Wen Zhang got up from the floor. Li Ming walks in and watched them, leaning his shoulder on the door. Cheng Xing takes a small kick towards Wen Zhang, using his hands he pulled him down to the floor. Wen Zhang laid on the floor, flat on his back

"Ok, you win. I don't think fighting is my thing anyways."

Wen Zhang turns his head to see Li Ming behind Cheng Xing at the doorway.

"Li Ming!"

Immediately as Wen Zhang called his name Cheng Xing turned around. Li Ming strolled into the room.

"Li Ming, I think I improved in my fighting," Wen Zhang said happily, a beaming bright smile on his face. Li Ming smirks.

Li Ming takes off his suit and tie and rolls up his white shirt sleeves.

"We'll see what you learnt then. I won't go easy."

Wen Zhang held his hands and rushed at Li Ming with a kick. Li Ming quickly dodges and grabs his leg. Li Ming grabs Wen Zhang's jumper which was on the floor and wrapped it around his leg and his arm. Li Ming shoved Wen Zhang, hard, and he toppled over to the floor.

"Hey! That's not fair."

"Why not? In a real fight the criminal could have a weapon. Anything you can use to defend will be increasing your chances of survival."

Wen Zhang slowly unravels the jumper from his arm and foot.

"Cheng Xing's also a lot better at fighting than me. Why don't you two spar?"

Cheng Xing looks over at Li Ming.

"I don't see why not," Cheng Xing said.

Cheng Xing cracked his knuckles quickly as Li Ming got into position. Li Ming gave him a sharp cold look. Li Ming rushed with a quick punch. Cheng Xing ducked immediately, about aim a punch to Li Ming's abdomen. Li Ming quickly blocks, and Cheng Xing hits his lower arm. Cheng Xing sweeps at Li Ming's feet and pulling him to the floor. Cheng Xing locks Li Ming in a position. Cheng Xing lays on the floor and by using his legs he wraps it around Li Ming's waist. Li Ming struggles, he takes a punch towards Cheng Xing's, but he quickly grabs hold of it. Wen Zhang looked in between them two. Cheng Xing releases his grip. Li Ming pulls back. Li Ming and Cheng Xing stand up.

"Where did you learn that from?"

Cheng Xing smiled.

"The Do-Jime?"

"It's a dangerous move."

"Not unless it's for self-defence purposes. Didn't you say 'In a real fight the criminal could have a weapon. Anything you can use to defend will be increasing your chances of survival'."

Li Ming didn't say anything.

"Just a student learning from their teacher," Cheng Xing said.
