"Will you take turns fighting me or will all of you come at once?", Ryo asks, his voice cannot hide his excitement.
"It is not honorable for 11 men to fight only 2 of you.", Duan Hung replies. "However, we have to avenge our sects. I know "The Invincible Dragon" of Kyokugen-ryu Karate would not mind this handicap either."
"Then come!", Ryo roars fiercely.
Xue brothers from Kunlun sect suddenly leap forward, immediately surround the Kyokugen-ryu duo. The movements of their swords cover all space around their opponents. With his experience, Ryo realizes how dangerous these swordsmen are, he quickly grab his daughter's collar and throws her out of the battle before the Kunlun disciples could tighten their formation.
"Very quick reaction!", Xue Lien praises, his sword is still moving with insane speed, covering his body.
"Thank you.", Ryo replies while posturing himself in his favourite "Tiger Stance", the wide and low Kokutsu Dachi gives him defensive advantages and explosive movements, his left hand stretches forward, protecting his head and neck while his right hand protects the lower parts of his body. "Is this "Hundun Sword Formation" of Kunlun?"
"You are very knowledgable.", Xue Lien says. He suddenly thrusts his sword forward, targeting Ryo's throat.
"The Invincible Dragon" slightly drags his left foot to the left, his body slightly leans to that side and evades the attack with perfect precision. As his body moves, his left hand also attacks Xue Lien's right wrist. If Ryo grabs that arm, he can neutralize the swordsman's offense. Xue Lien suddenly flicks his hand and the sword changes its trajectory, it swings downward to cut the Karate's left leg. Ryo immediately raises his left leg up, kicking Xue's right hand with his knee and stopping the sword's movement. The Kunlun swordsman attacked twice, all of his strikes were neutralized and he has lost his momentum. Now is the time for Ryo to counter attack.
However, Xue Shan and Xue Jing have started their offenses, one tries to cut the right leg while the other attacks the neck. Although Ryo's fist would reach Xue Lien's face before the others could reach him, the Karateka cannot defend himself if he commits to this counterstrike. "The Invincible Dragon" hits the end of Xue Lien's sword fiercely, launching it downward and using it to block the sword that is attacking his leg. Meanwhile his entire weight shifts toward his left foot as it touches the ground, the Karateka lowers his body into a Kiba Dachi and dodges the high attack. When Xue Shan and Xue Jing's strikes are over, Ryo quickly makes a small leap to the left as he thrusts his left elbow to Xue Jing's Middle Tanden.
Against an unarmed opponent, the sword has an advantage in reach. However, Xue Jing did not expect his enemy to be able to defend himself against their combined attacks, Ryo's sudden leap has closed the distance between them to that of a fist fight. His sword has not retreated in time, none of their swords have retreated yet, he has no way to avoid this punch with his sword skill. Instead, the Kunlun disciple thrusts his left palm forward, a blow for a blow, if Ryo commits to his strike this attack will land on his head.
The Karateka suddenly changes his movement, his left hand quickly grabs the outside of Xue Jing's left wrist while the right hand holds the collar. Ultilizing the momentum of the leap, he makes a spin that takes away the swordsman's balance and uses the hip as a leverage to lift him up. Ryo throws Xue Jing over his head, a perfectly executed Seoi Nage. Leaping, thrusting the elbow, securing the clinch and throwing, 4 disconnected movements were connected smoothly in a quick moment, not many martial artists could perform such brilliant skill. Ryo Sakazaki is indeed worthy of his title of "The Invincible Dragon".
However, Kunlun sect is also a school of great reputation. Their base is on the highest peak of Kunlun Mountain, compared to Songshan, Kunlun's topographic is much more tricky and dangerous. As a result, disciples of their school develop great balance, body control and Qinggong techniques. When Ryo throws Xue Jing, while he is still falling, his feet have already reached the ground. Xue uses his feet as levers to completely stop the falling motion.
Ryo is surprised that his Seoi Nage did not lay the swordsman flat on the ground. However, the Karateka still has the advantageous high position, without any delay, his right hand quickly leaves Xue Jing's collar to grab the right hand that is holding the sword. Fighting against an armed opponent, it is obvious to prioritize neutralizing the weapon. After taking control of the sword wieding hand, Ryo intents to kick his opponent's head.
Xue Lien and Xue Shan would not allow "The Invincible Dragon" to deal the finishing blow on their brother, they quickly come to the rescue, Lien swings his sword to cut Ryo's wrists while Shan stabs Ryo's right shoulder. The Kunlun duo are fast, even though Ryo has expected their attacks, he has no choice but canceling his kick, releasing his grip and hopping back. In his retreat, Nidaime Mr. Karate channels an immense amount of Ki into his hands and launches a powerful "Haoh Shokou Ken" toward Kunlun's "Hundun Formation".
"Kunlun Breaks Heaven Pillar!", Xue Lien shouts loudly.
The Kunlun swordsmen spin their swords and retrieve them before their chests. Xue siblings suddenly thrust their swords forward, the tips of their weapons meet at exact one point, intercepting the path of Ryo's "Haoh Shokou Ken". It becomes an internal energy battle, 4 martial artists pour an immense amount of Qi into their techniques in an attempt to advance. If any of them loses focus and is defeated in this struggle, an internal injury is inevittable for that person.
"Give me your life!", Zhao Butui points his sword toward the Karateka as he leaps foward. Ryo cannot move at the moment, it is the best chance for "Sword Saint" to revenge for the humiliation of being pushed back by "Kou-ou Ken".
"How shameless!", Anh Thư roars as she deflects Zhao's sword with the Tonfa on her right hand. His sword is swept away, however "Sword Saint" Zhao Butun is a skilled and experienced swordsman, he ultilizes the momentum of the girl's strike to spin his body and swing his sword, attacking her from the opposite direction. With a quick flick of her hand, the Tonfa rotates clockwise, blowing Zhao's sword upward. The other Tonfa in her left hand thrusts forward, attacking Zhao's Middle Tanden. This is the equivalent of a Gyaku Tsuki counter after an Age Uke in standard Karate, but with the addition of Tonfa. The ultimate state of Karate is that "The body is the weapon", so the reverse is also true, there are relations between Karate unarmed and weapon-based techniques. And Tonfa happens to be the most suitable one to implement those hand-to-hand fighting skills.
Zhao is not familiar with the way Tonfa users fight, after 2 exchanges he has already been struck. Fortunately, Anh Thư is still too young and that strike does not inflict any severe damage. The swordsman of Mount Huo sect also suspects that his opponent uses Tonfas similar to how a Karateka fights without weapons. With his reach advantage, "Sword Saint" Zhao Butui strikes the girl continuously with light yet quick strikes, he wants to wear her down while investigating her fighting patterns and seeing if she has any trick up her sleeves. However, as fast as Zhao's sword is, Anh Thư was trained in Ancient Tomb sect martial arts by Luan, she easily dodges those attacks thanks to her small physique and outstanding mobility.
"Senior Zhao, you're sure in the mood of entertaining the junior.", Wang Hu says loudly. "Allow me to claim the glory of defeating "The Invincible Dragon" then."
Wang quickly jumps behind Ryo's back. Although the Karateka is in a stalemate with the Kunlun swordsmen, the Praying Mantis martial artist still fears that Ryo can still attack him with side kicks. Attacking from behind is logically the safest option. From his safe position, Wang's point fingers are like hooks attacking his enemy's shoulders. However, his strikes do not connect, as Ryo suddenly cancels "Haoh Shokou Ken", lowers his body and rolls away.
The Kunlun brothers were having a fierce battle with the Karateka, then the Qi attack and their opponent suddenly disappeared. In front of them now is Wang Hu, the Praying Mantis Kungfu disciple. Unable to stop their techniques, their swords penetrate Wang's belly. Fortunately, none of his internal organs is damaged as Kunlun's swords strike at the same point, however Wang cannot fight this battle anymore.
Ryo is able to escape the dire situation, however as he canceled his attack in an internal energy battle, the Karateka also received parts of the impact of the Kunlun's Ki attack as well as the backlash from his own "Haoh Shokou Ken". "The Invincible Dragon" starts to breathe heavily and feels pain in his stomach. He thinks: "I have to avoid Ki battles for now."
"Excuse my rudeness.", Duan Hung says as he leaps forward. The Kunlun swordsmen also resume their attacks.
Duan thrusts his fan toward Ryo's High Tanden. The Karateka raises his left arm up, performing an Age Uke and sweeping the attack away. From behind, Xue Shan stabs his calf. Ryo quickly turns to that side and swings his right arm down, a Gedan Barai striking the swordsman's hand and diverting his attack. Duan attacks a pressure point on the shoulder. Ryo quickly pulls his left foot to the right side and his body moves along, the Karateka quickly evades the strike and even return the favor with his own right reverse elbow targeting Duan's Middle Tanden. Duan Hung is able to block it with his left arm, however Ryo's strike is so fierce that it knocks him back a few steps.
After these exchanges, Ryo has discovered the identity of Duan's martial arts. At the first look, most would assume he is using a type of martial art using the paper fan. There are multiple schools that teach how to fight using fans. Mai Shiranui from Shiranui Ninja Clan is an example. However, witnessing how Duan fought, Ryo realizes that his techniques resembled those from unarmed martial arts more that those from weapon-based ones. In fact, their movements, their targets and the type of Qi implemented in those strikes were very similar to Luan's "Yi Yang Finger", one could say that Duan was using "Yi Yang Finger" but replacing his finger with the fan. Ryo does not know the history of Duan family's martial arts, but during Song dynasty, the crippled Duan Yanqing implemented his skills in "Yi Yang Finger" into his crutches and became a terrifying figure in the martial art world. Centuries later, his descendant Duan Hung is doing the same thing with his fan.
As Ryo is analysing Duan Hung's martial arts, Xue Lien and Xue Jing thrust their swords forward, targeting the chest and belly. "The Invincible Dragon" retreats his arms before his chest and fiercely swings them outward, striking the sides of the swords and blowing them away. Xue Shan swings his sword upward. With a movement this big from such a challenging angle, Shan hopes that he could inflict as much damage as possible, but before the blade could reach Ryo's body, it has been swept away as the Karateka struck the side of the sword with his right palm.
Duan attempts to enter the fight again, but Xue Lien commands while the sword in his hand is still moving around his opponent, trying to find an opening:
"Stand back Brother Duan. We are going to speed up "Hundun Formation". You should look for any weakness in his martial art from a safe distance."
As his brother is saying, Xue Shan suddenly flicks his hand, his sword quickly moves to Ryo's right side and attacks the shoulder. "The Invincible Dragon" pulls his right arm up, hitting Xue's hand and blowing the strike away. During the exchange, Xue Lien and Xue Jin have moved to his sides, they quickly attack the neck and legs. His hand holding the sword has not retreated yet, but Xue Shan's left palm is ready, he thrusts it toward the Karateka's face, cutting off his escaping route. Ryo suddenly shifts his weight to the right, evading Shan's palm and Lien's sword that is attacking above the shoulders, his body falls as he swings his left hand vertically, performing a "Hyouchuu Wari" that strikes down the low attack before it could reach his legs.
Their combined attack fails, however "Hundun Formation" offense does not end. With a twist of his wrist, Lien's sword attacks again while Shan immediately thrusts his sword to chase their opponent down. Meanwhile Jing hops backward so that he can create a proper distant to operate his sword. Ryo pushes his strength in the right leg and makes an explosive leap, escaping Lien and Shan's pursuit while cutting down the distance between him and Jing.
"Your formation is broken.", Ryo roars as he punches the youngest swordsman continuously.
At this distance, his sword is useless and he has lost the momentum to run away from Ryo. The Karateka keeps moving forward and away from Lien and Shan's swords while attacking Jing. In just a second of confusion, over 40 punches have landed on Xue Jing's head and body. With only 1 arm, the amount of strikes from Ryo's "Zanretsuken" is around 13 to 21 punches, when he uses both arms the number is doubled. By the time his brothers recollect themselves and Ryo stops his aggression, Xue Jing can stand no longer. The swordsman drops his sword and falls on his knees.
Xue Lien and Xue Shan did not expect Ryo was such a formidable opponent, "Hundun Sword Formation" of their sect has been broken in mere minutes. Granted, 3 swordsmen is the mimimum number required to use this formation, however the Xue brothers are among the most outstanding of their peers and as siblings who live with each other for decades, they have the best coordination. In fact, the Xue trio's "Hundun Formation" is the best it has been for 5 centuries. And they could not penetrate Ryo's defense.
"Karate guy, take my kicks!", Tan Fei shouts as he jumps up and attacks Ryo with an axe kick on his way down.
"Southern Fists - Northern Kicks", Tan Tui's kicks are the most powerful of all Northern Kungfu schools. Ryo has already been injured, he cannot withstand this powerful kick that is accelerated by Tan Fei's falling momentum. The Karateka makes a short hop backward to evade it. Tan Fei does not let his opponent a moment to breathe, at the moment he lands on the ground, the kick specialist immediately leaps forward and throws a right roundhouse kick to the body. Ryo performs a Shuto Uke with his left arm, blocking the strike, his right foot takes a small step forward as he attacks the Tan Tui martial artist with a left Mae Geri to the Middle Tanden. Tan Fei is able to cover his chest with his forearms before the kick lands, however it still pushes him off balance. Tan Fei has mastered 12 roads of Tan Tui, however he does not have Shaolin's "Thousand Pound Pillar".
"Your strikes are fierce, please give me some pointers.", "Black Wind Tiger" Ma Dariang charges forward, the black maces in his hands create terrifying flows of wind.
His left hand has dragged Tan's guard down, Ryo is about to attack the kick specialist's Middle Tanden with a Yonhon Nukite, but he is forced to cancel the finishing blow and hop backward to evade Ma's ferocious maces. "Black Wind Tiger" sees his opponent retreating, he continues his ferocious offense, preventing the Karateka from initiating a counter attack. "The Invincible Dragon" slowly moves backward while his hands sweep away endless waves of attacks from Ma Dariang. Those maces are fast and powerful, Ryo cannot be reckless and trade blows with this martial artist, all he can do is defend himself while waiting for an opening. Fortunately, the other Chinese martial artists also fear of getting caught with a stray hit from Ma, therefore they intend to stay out of the bout for now.
Yang Dazhong has been observing Anh Thư fighting Zhao Butui for a while. Having his Solar Plexis struck really compromised the swordsman's physical performance, Zhao's movements are getting slower and his fatigue is getting more visible. The Karate girl is overwhelming "Sword Saint" with her superior agility. Yang notices that although her techniques are Karate-based, Anh Thư's footworks and body movements are somewhat similar to those from Ancient Tomb sect. Martial arts from this school were created by a woman, the major theme of these skills are to use swiftness to defeat strength, perfect for a little girl to fight against an adult. As the daughter of a Hizoku assassin, Anh Thư was trained in Ancient Tomb martial arts at an early age. However, she has only mastered physical technques and basic Qigong of the sect, the 7 year old girl is not prominent enough in Qi control to use Ancient Tomb's Qinggong and demonstrate Ancient Tomb's mobility at its full potential.
In frustration, Zhao Butui makes a wide swing in order to cut off Anh Thư's legs. With the Tonfa working as an armguard, the girl strikes the sword with her left arm, that is a Gedan Barai. She then swings the Tonfa in her right hand, using it as a hook and dragging Zhao's left foot off his base. As the swordsman has falled on the ground, the Karate girl deals the finishing blows, her right arm swings the Tonfa like a hammer crushing the fallen opponent's face, followed by a downward punch to the throat, the point of impact is the tip of the Tonfa in her left hand. "Sword Saint" Zhao Butui is knocked out immediately.
Anh Thư suddenly senses an attack approaching. She quickly hops backward and away from the unconcious swordsman, evading the strike. From a distance, she realizes what attacked her was a big piece of cloth coming from inside of Yang Dazhong's right sleeve. Ancient Tomb sect specializes in soft weapons, her mother is a master of the rope and Yang Dazhong can fight using his clothes.
"Your attacks are ruthless.", Yang says as he floats toward the girl using Ancient Tomb's Qinggong skill. "Who taught you these corrupted applications of our school's martial arts?"
The base of Hizoku's training is in Ancient Tomb sect martial arts. However, as the clan has detached from its orthodox origin for centuries while performing assassination missions, they have implemented certain changes to these skills to be more suitable for the purpose of stealth and murder. As a living member of the orthodox Ancient Tomb sect and descendant of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, Yang Dariang immediately realizes Anh Thư was using techniques from his school, even though her skills in Ancient Tomb sect are incompleted and too perverted.
As Yang is approaching, Anh Thư spins the Tonfa in her hands simultaneously, trapping the Chinese man's head in the middle. If he keeps advancing, Yang Dazhong will definitely get hit. With Ancient Tomb sect's beautiful Qinggong, he floats backward, evading the strikes. While moving away, Yang flicks his right sleeve and the cloth he used to attack a moment ago launches toward the girl again. Anh Thư rolls to her right side, evading the attack. Yang flicks his left sleeve and another piece of cloth strikes. The Karate girl leans to her right and barely manages to dodge that attack.
Before the Chinese martial artist could initiate another attack, Anh Thư throws the Tonfa in her left hand toward the opponent. Yang Dazhong elegantly moves his arms, the pieces of cloth immediately change their movements, sweeping the Tonfa away. As he has successfully deflect the attack, Yang swings his left arm backward to retreat the cloth in that hand and prepare for his next attack. He suddenly feels something unusual in his weapon's movements, as if it is stuck. In the brief moment he was busy defending against the Tonfa, Anh Thư had quickly grab Zhao Butui's sword and used it to nail the cloth on the ground.
"If my skills are corrupted, why don't you show me orthodox Ancient Tomb martial arts?", Anh Thư says as she kicks the blade of the sword, breaking it in halves, one is still pinning the cloth on the ground and the other is in her left hand.
The girl makes a quick movement with her left arm, as if she is throwing the broken sword toward her opponent. The projectile travels fast, Yang Dazhong does not have enough time to retreat the cloth in his left sleeve before moving away from the sword or deflecting it with his left arm. The Chinese man swings his right arm elegantly, the cloth in his right sleeve coils before him like a shield. However, that was merely a feint, as Anh Thư did not throw the sword. Captivating the moment Yang's vision is blocked by his own defense, the girl has closed the distance, once again she nails the cloth on the ground with her sword. And while Yang is still confused of what is happening, Anh Thư breaks the sword again, using the remaining of the blade to cut her opponent's weapons. Now Yang Dariang cannot use these pieces of cloth to fight anymore.
In her left hand, Anh Thư uses the broken sword like a Sai. In her right hand, the Tonfa makes her unarm Karate techniques more powerful. Without his weapon, Yang Dazhong keeps retreating. Thanks to Ancient Tomb's Qinggong, Yang has no trouble getting away from the girl's assaults. Anh Thư could overwhelm a skilled and mature martial artist thanks to the mobility of her Ancient Tomb's physical movements, however the brilliance of that school is in its Qinggong, which she has not been taught yet. Fortunately, while the girl cannot catch her opponent yet, Yang also does not have the tools to attack from the distance. This is a stalemate, if there is nobody interfering their bout, the outcome of this battle will be decided by whether Anh Thư runs out of stamina or Yang uses all of his internal energy first.
"Junior Yang, don't panic.", Elder of Kongtong sect Lu Yingxiong shouts. "I will help you subduing this child."
Ryo is busy fighting against "Black Wind Tiger" Ma Dariang, however he cannot let his daughter to fight against one of Five Elders of Kongtong sect. The most powerful martial art of that school is "7 Injuries Fist". A single punch from this skill inflicts damages on the victim's heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen, liver and their Yin and Yang qi, a total of 7 different types of injuries at the same time, hence the name "7 Injuries Fists". With his status, Lu should not use this technique on a little girl like Anh Thư, however there is nothing to guarantee that this person would show any mercy to the child of his enemy.
"Don't look away!", Ma Dariang realizes his opponent is distracted, the Taiwanese swings his mace down from above. If this strike lands, it will crush the Karateka's head.
"Get out of my way!", Ryo roars as he lowers his body and raises his left arm up, sweeping the attack out of its target. Before Ma could initiate another strike, "The Invincible Dragon" charges forward and attacks with a right uppercut, this technique is "Mouko Raijin Gou". This strike is too sudden and too fast that "Black Wind Tiger" has no time to ultilize the power of his weapons to push the opponent away. His left hand cannot retreat in time, Ma can only cover himself with his right arm.
This punch from Ryo is not an ordinary punch. The fist has been enhanced with an amount of Ki. When it lands on Ma Dariang's guard, the Taiwanese martial artist feels not the power of 1 punch, but that of 3 punches targetting a single point at the same time. Ma thought that Ryo would not use Qigong technique because of his injury, especially in an attack at this distance where things happen so fast to route Qi properly, therefore he did not channel Qi to enhance his guard. However, the Karateka is in a hurry, rather than his own safety, the Karateka intends to put his opponent with a single strike. Luckily, "Black Wind Tiger" is an experienced martial artist, as soon as he realizes the situation, he immediately hops back before his right arm is crushed while swinging the mace in his left hand to cover his retreat.
However, Ryo does not intend to follow Ma's retreat. As his opponent steps back, the Karateka uses that brief moment to jump toward Lu Yingxiong, stopping him from approaching Anh Thư.
"Brother Lu, allow me to entertain you.", Ryo says as he attacks the Kongtong martial artist's neck, the technique is Shuto Uchi using his left hand. Lu Yingxiong raises his right arm to block the strike while throwing a left hook of his own. Ryo swings his right arm, performing a Soto Uke and blowing that counter attack to his left, then attacks the Chinese man's liver with a left uppercut. The angle of this punch is too awkward to defend, instead of continuing these exchanges of fists, Lu disengages.
However, Ryo does not let his opponent escape. As soon as the Kongtong Elder creates a distance between them, the Karateka immediately cuts it down while throwing a variety of ferocious strikes. Lu Yingxiong struggles against these attacks, if Ryo throws 10 strikes, he can only return 3. But Kongtong school's "7 Injuries Fist" is a fearsome martial art, even if Lu hardly lets his fist go, his allies still fear of being caught with a stray punch, therefore they only watch the fight from a distance.
Anh Thư and Yang Dazhong are still in their chasing contest. However, the winner is about to be decided. Yang is using the orthodox Qinggong of Ancient Tomb sect, reserving energy while evading aggression is the specialty of this skill. Anh Thư's mobility also comes from Ancient Tomb sect, however without its Qinggong her movements rely on her physical prowess. Additionally, as the aggressor, the young girl also has to be cautious of sudden attacks from her opponent, making her consume even more energy. Although she is much more athletic than most kids of her age, the Karate girl is getting exhausted and cannot maintain this pace much longer.
"Dodge this!", Anh Thư suddenly roars loudly as she throws the blade, the trajectory intercepts Yang's retreating route.
Yang Dazhong may move faster than his opponent, however he does not expect this desperate attack. If he keeps moving in the same direction, he will get hit. But Ancient Tomb sect's Qinggong is brilliant, while moving with such speed, the Chinese man is still capable of changing his movement and avoiding the sword effortlessly. But, despite his skill, that attack still stopped his movement for a moment and that is all Anh Thư needs to close the distance.
"You are dead!", the girl roars fiercely as she makes an explosive leap toward the opponent and swings the Tonfa in her right arm down.
This jump is not Ancient Tomb sect's movement. This technique is Kyokugen-ryu Karate's "Mouko Raijin Setsu", but instead of striking with the edge of the hand, she attacks with her Tonfa. Generally speaking, Karate cannot compete with Ancient Tomb sect in a chasing contest. However, while disciples of Ancient Tomb sect use efficient movements and Qinggong constantly to win a long run, Karate has explosive leaps that close the distance immediately. This is like a chase between a deer and a tiger, the deer can outrun its predator, but if it has the chance, a big leap is all the tiger needs to catch its prey. And the moment Yang slows down to dodge the sword was all Anh Thư needs to approach her opponent.
By the time he realizes what is happening, Anh Thư's second attack is already too close for him to evade with his Qinggong. The Chinese man raises his arms up to protect his head. Anh Thư's "Mouko Raijin Setsu" is blocked, with a twist of her wrist, she quickly changes the grip on the Tonfa from Honte Mochi form to Tokutsu Mochi form. With this grip, the girl immediately catches Yang's arms and takes control of their movements. As both his hands are tied by the Tonfa's hook, the descendant of "The Condor Hero" is defenseless against the Karate girl's left punches to the body. In the blink of an eye, Anh Thư attacks Yang's Middle and Low Tanden 5 times with Yonhon Nukite strikes, interrupting his breathing and his ability to channel Qi.
In desperation, Yang Dazhong tries to interrupt the onslaught with a kick of his own. However, before that kick lands, Anh Thư uses the Tonfa to drag the Chinese man's arms down, making the Chinese man lose his balance and the kick cancelled. Captivating the moment, she then throws a fierce straight punch to the throat, followed by an upward elbow to the chin. To finish him off, Anh Thư releases Yang's arms and fiercely swings the Tonfa like a hammer to his jaw.
