The plaza erupted in a deafening roar as Wang Li's Yin-Yang Annihilation slammed into Ye Fan's Five Elements Convergence shield. The air itself seemed to crackle under the strain, a chaotic vortex of raw energy tearing through the plaza.
Dust and debris were flung skyward in a swirling maelstrom, momentarily obscuring the combatants from view.
Ye Fan, caught in the epicenter of the explosion, bore the brunt of the attack. The Five Elements Convergence had done its job, absorbing most of the Yin-Yang energy's destructive force. But even the combined might of all five elements couldn't completely negate it. A wave of searing pain ripped through him, sending him crashing to the ground.
He groaned, pushing himself upright through a haze of dust and disorientation. The world spun around him, his vision obscured by the swirling debris. He lashed out with a furious gust of wind, clearing the dust and revealing a scene of utter chaos.
