Aaron and Chen Wo stared at each other across the barren expanse, neither one daring to make the first move. The air hung heavy with anticipation, charged with the raw energy of impending combat.
The entire area fell into an eerie calm, a profound silence that enveloped everything around them.
It felt as if the vast universe itself had paused, holding its breath in curiosity, eager to witness the clash between these two formidable warriors.
The ground beneath their feet, scarred from previous battles, seemed to pulse with quiet expectation.
Chen Wo struck first, his body flickering out of sight in an instant, vanishing without a whisper or a trace of disturbance in the air.
His movement was flawless, a ghost gliding through the veil of reality, leaving no ripple in the fabric of space.
There was no distortion of any kind from his swift advance, no telltale shimmer or gust of wind to betray his path.
