Luo Yenmu charged again, but this time, Ling Lei waited for him and countered his attack with his halberd. It wasn't easy to block a rapier completely, as it was a thrusting weapon and not one that is swung like the normal swords. The crudest and easiest method for beginners was knocking the blade aside. Luo Yenmu kept trying to attack Ling Lei but his blade was always knocked away by the pole of the halberd. Ling Lei had yet to attack with the blade and was just defending himself, but the cultivators knew, if he did attack, Luo Yenmu wouldn't go unscathed.
I apologize of the weapons don't sound like how they were supposed to use. I don't actually know how rapiers or halberds work so I'm sorry if some enthusiasts are offended that I didn't portray them correctly. I am welcome to any corrections I can make to make the fight more real.
And as always, I am welcome to constructive criticism about the novel as a whole.
