Constant Barrage

Sword and scythe collided powerfully in the middle of the arena as John and Alix clashed against each other. John was wielding his signature blood red scythe, while Alix was wielding a slender pitch black sword.

The first exchange was pure might and strength, and contained no battle arts, as each side wanted to triumph over the other using nothing but weapon skill and cultivation power. 

Alix's cultivation was at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm, while John was solidly in the Late Core Formation Realm. Although Alix was a bit higher in cultivation base, such a thing did not concern John at all. Cultivation level was not the only thing that dictated power.

In the ensuing collision, the result was a tie. If John had wanted to, he would have completely crushed Alix in a pure collision of strength. However, doing so would reveal his body cultivation, and would out him as an imposter.
