The two people Ning had just beaten down slowly began stirring up. He had hit them hard, but they hadn't killed them.
Ning began spinning his spear, slowly gathering momentum. With each spin, he could feel it growing stronger and stronger, which to him was getting heavy.
One of the soldiers suddenly came for him and Ning dodged to the side, sending the spear right through his chest. The spear appeared out on the other side, and Ning sharply pulled it back.
The man grunted in pain, letting out a dying gasp.
Ning swung the spear sideways, getting the blood off it.
The man continued gasping, taking in air as he died. Ning waited for him to fall, but the man only wavered there for a moment and then drew his sword into the air before swinging it down on Ning.
"What the hell?"
Ning quickly jumped back, dodging the sword strike. He was confused at that very moment as to why the man was still fighting. Was his assessment of the situation wrong?
Were these actually corpses?
