After gauging each other for a while, both fighters began to walk toward the center of the stage. But then, in a blink, they vanished. The arena echoed with a loud clang as the two reappeared in the middle, Li Jie's cleaving axe clashing with Huang's arrow. The air between them crackled with tension as they engaged in a flurry of rapid exchanges—axes swinging with deadly precision and arrows flying with lethal speed. The crowd watched in silence as the two warriors tested each other's limits, pushing faster and harder with each strike.
