"If you want me to discard my sword and remove my mask, it's not that simple."
"Try defeating me first!"
The two engaged in a duel of swordsmanship, but ultimately Li Guanyi's martial prowess surpassed Li Zhaowen.
It took only a few exchanges.
Li Guanyi reversed his sword with a twist, pressing down Li Zhaowen's sword, advancing forward, he reached out, grasped his friend's face mask, and abruptly lifted it off.
The sound of war drums reached a majestic point.
Li Zhaowen lowered his gaze, refrained from countering with his sword, suddenly raised his unarmed wrist, made a subtle movement, containing an invisible qi force, flicked his fingers, executing an extremely mysterious and extraordinary technique.
In an instant, it struck all eight directions of the enemy.
The eight candles were extinguished, windows and doors all around closed simultaneously.
Isolated inside and out, Li Guanyi removed his mask.
As the lights went out, the face under the mask was revealed.
