They faced off, their hearts pounding hard against their chest. The air electric with anticipation as they stood poised.
This time around, Ren attacked first. He was no pushover, his jian sword weaving a complex pattern of defense and offense.
He employed the "Dance of the Golden Wind", a rare fighting technique that left Li stumbling to keep up.
As the fight intensified, the air around them began to distort, the ground trembling beneath their feet.
Li's aura assumed a spear and attacked, punctuated with a precise jab but Ren's sword sliced through Li's aura spear, only to be met with a barrage of swift punches, each one infused with Li's aura.
Ren stumbled back, his eyes widening as Li's aura took on a life of its own, swirling around him like a vortex.
Seizing the opportunity, Li's aura fused into a massive war hammer, its head glowing with energy.
