The rapid exchanges of blows after Mu Qin drove away her Lord Stage opponents had caught her off guard. First, it was Xan Chi, whose brutish force rendered her weakened hair inept. Then Amon and Sura Yao entered the fray. Though the two entered at the same time, their attacks did not.
Amon's reach was longer thanks to the Xian Cloth. His weapon arrived first, forcing Mu Qin to focus her attention on him. With her diverting her last energy to block his attack, Sura faced less resistance, and that had been Amon's plan. He arranged the timing of their assaults so that Sura Yao was given the last hit with the highest success chance.
Her scythe emitted red mist that flowed into her once it bit its victim. Mu Qin instantly knew something was wrong.
Mu Qin's hand struck behind her. Sura Yao managed to pull her scythe in time and used it to block. The impact shoved her back. Violent winds followed the strike. Sura Yao suffered many cut wounds from these abrupt winds.
