Xing let out a heavy sigh as his opponent finally let go of his arm, but it was sore from being extended, some damage had been done. Watching closely as his opponent drew his own weapon, but waited on standby instead of counter attacking immediately, Xing let loose a small Ki force attack at the Thai fighter, not strong enough to kill but enough to do some damage. The blue energy burst forward in a very fast fireball that was maybe a 3rd of the size of a man. While tenaciously gripping his saber he called out to his opponent.

[i]You have been doing well, but now we have drawn swords you may have over extended your luck, I've never lost a swordfight. [/i]

After firing the ki blast he adopted a traditional shaolin sword stance, ready for combat.
