22 Shui is repelled backwards by the force, and collapses in a pile on the ground . But he picks himself up . The man with the weighted chain - and - staff underestimates his foe and comes forward ready to smash Shui’s head sideways, but Shui is first to strike and with a swift stroke of the sword breaks the chain that holds the weight and sends the weight flying into a   nearby tree trunk . Then the others, watching all this, start yelling a cry that is something halfway between rage and despair, and come charging forward with their various weapons . But using his pipe and sword combined, Shui begins to finish them off almost effortlessly one by one . Three of them are paralyzed by node hitting, one of them has his sword twirled out of his hand, one is slashed across the chest, four others run away screaming . The one with the halberd comes charging forward, only to have the once - mighty halberd head sliced in half by Shui’s sword, which goes on to slice all the way down the shaft, he knows better and releases his grip before the sword reaches his fingers, and runs away . The one with the short iron claws comes up and launches a series of strong attacks against Shui, the two claws seem effective for parrying both of Shui’s weapons at first, and the others start stepping back and cheering, just waiting for the iron claw guy to finally get Shui … IRON CLAW GUY Run like the cowards you are, while I finish off one of your own! Some of the other men seem to nod and leave, except for a few who still seem supremely confident of their own skill … EXT .

Then she runs off into the forest . EXT . FOREST DAY
