A cinematic Chinese cultivation anime fight scene, restrained and realistic, inspired by the poetic tone of Jian Lai, without copying any specific characters.
Snow-covered mountain path at dusk, cold wind, low visibility.
A thin teenage swordsman in a worn gray-blue robe faces a taller cultivator dressed in dark robes.
Both characters have realistic anime proportions, consistent faces and bodies.
No exaggerated muscles, no glowing eyes.
The teenage swordsman draws his old sword from a cracked wooden scabbard.
The blade is plain steel, slightly worn, no magical glow.
Fight choreography is grounded and sharp:
quick footwork, controlled sword swings, precise blocks and counters.
Camera stays steady and cinematic, medium-wide shots with slow lateral movement.
Occasional close-up on hands gripping the sword, snow shaking off sleeves during impact.
When swords collide, there is a brief metallic spark only, realistic and subtle.
No energy waves, no explosions.
Wind pushes snow sideways as the teenage swordsman steps forward decisively,
his expression calm, focused, determined.
At the climax, he delivers a single clean horizontal slash.
Time slows slightly for half a second as snow freezes in the air,
then resumes normally as the opponent staggers back.
Ink-wash style mountains in the background, muted colors, cold color palette.
Cinematic lighting, natural shadows, shallow depth of field.
