Chapter 7: The Veil of Destiny
Zhang Wei and General Bai Long fought with relentless intensity, their clash shaking the very foundation of the battlefield. Their movements became a blur of speed and precision, each strike carrying the weight of their elemental mastery.
Zhang Wei's body moved in perfect synchrony with the elements, his fire techniques lashing out with scorching fury. Flames engulfed his fists, leaving trails of blazing inferno in their wake. He countered Bai Long's dark arts with an unwavering resolve, each clash of energy illuminating the battlefield with an otherworldly radiance.
Bai Long, fueled by his insatiable hunger for power, tapped into the forbidden depths of shadow. Dark tendrils of energy surged forth, snaking through the air, threatening to consume Zhang Wei. But Zhang Wei remained steadfast, his spirit shining brightly amidst the encroaching darkness.
As the battle raged, the very fabric of reality trembled. The clash of elemental forces intensified, causing the earth to quake beneath their feet. Thunder boomed and lightning crackled across the sky, mirroring the ferocity of the combatants.
With every strike, Zhang Wei felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He knew that this battle was not just about his personal vendetta against Bai Long; it was a fight for the balance of the elements and the fate of all living beings. Failure was not an option.
