As such, he'd been forced to take on guys who had to work out some sort of way that they could combine their attacks as they did them, or just attack him one on one. He didn't have the same sort of hassle, and could smash every troublemaker in his way. All that he had to do was to dart from stooge to stooge, striking a knockout blow on each in turn.
Now he had someone who had some skill behind her as his opponent. She was certainly appealing enough, what with her shapely body and pretty face, but he wasn't distracted by that. Too many warriors had impressive abilities that didn't always fit with their looks, and he knew that guys could get seriously hurt by getting distracted by good looks.
This girl was certainly proving that to be true, as he was getting to see that she wasn't just some normal stooge. Right when he'd block one of her overhand strikes, she was already moving to send a quick kick at one of his legs. Avoiding the attack and positioning himself to elbow her didn't help as she was able to twist out of the way. Doing so cleared her back for an attack, and he took advantage of that by slapping an open handed blow against her shoulder.
Stumbling in response, she impressed him by staying standing, even as she cursed in what sounded like Chinese, and then whipped her weapons around to crush his skull.

But with one swing of her slender arm, she swatted it out of the air, using one of her oversized maces to send the dented container crashing off to the side. He hadn't expected it to do much though, and as she marched over to him, he jumped right at her, his foot already flexing to send a spin kick at her head.
As her bend out of the way made that difficult, he shifted in midair and sent a punch right at her head, which she blocked with one of her bonbori.
When he landed, his hand was stinging and her weapon was broken down to the wooden shaft of the handle, with both of them breathing hard in response.
