Grips tightening around the hilts, Zixin struck the moment that Li indicated he was ready. The other man opted to go without a weapon, and Zixin wasn’t here to actually slice off his head, so he intended to parry himself before Red Star was bathed red. A little blood wouldn’t hurt, though. Well, it wouldn’t hurt Zixin.
Zixin's relentless onslaught began with a lightning-fast strike, his swords whistling through the air. He pressed forward with unwavering focus as Li blocked with nothing but his bare forearm. Zixin stifled a smirk with the impending wound, but when the sword struck a solid barrier an inch from Li’s skin, Zixin pulled the blade away with curious examination.
“You sly devil,” he smiled proudly, no offense taken at all. “This will be good practice for me,” he added, twirled his weapons back to their beginning stance, and struck again, this time without any intention to hold back.
Li danced nimbly. His arms and legs spun and twisted, creating an intricate dance of defense, but Zixin's determination proved unyielding. He delivered a rapid succession of strikes, exploiting every opening in Li's defense, his swords whirling like a tempest, threatening to overwhelm his opponent.
