Ning Que's gaze sharpened. He turned his wrist, and the Fourfold Azure Cloud traced a smooth arc.
His sword swept down, Sword Energy surging in all directions.

The crisp ring of metal striking metal shook leaves loose from the surrounding trees.
The steward felt an overwhelming force surge through his palm. It actually drove him half a step back, shock spreading across his face.
