Without a moment's hesitation, Yan Jin drew his bow and lunged toward Nie Li. Nie Li's lion, Jinze, let out a deafening roar, attempting to lift some of the suffocating pressure that emanated from Yan Jin's cold flames.
The initial shock of Yan Jin's power faded, and with a grimace, Nie Li unleashed his bloodline and with a surge of fiery energy surrounding him, he ran forward to meet Yan Jin with his spear.
In one fluid motion, Yan Jin released a single arrow from his bow, but as it flew, it multiplied—first into six, and then into twelve arrows. Nie Li thrust his spear forward, releasing a fireball from its tip. The two attacks collided midair, exploding into a blinding burst of energy. Yet neither warrior stopped; they both pressed through the explosion, closing the distance until their weapons met in a violent clash, bow against spear.
