Tian Xiaocao was a Nirvana Being, while Lin Shen was merely an Ascender; the disparity in Attributes was far too great. Even if Tian Xiaocao had no intention of using her Attribute advantage to crush Lin Shen, the speed at which she drew her sword was something Lin Shen couldn't hope to match.
*Could Lin Shen's knife touch Tian Xiaocao before her sword pierced his body? It seemed hopelessly unlikely.*
These thoughts flashed by in an instant, as Tian Xiaocao's sword appeared ready to pierce Lin Shen's body, while his blade lagged just out of reach.
*Just that small, inconspicuous distance—more than enough for Tian Xiaocao to kill Lin Shen multiple times.*
