"General Chao, it seems like your responses are quite slow today. I'll take it gently this time," Miao Yin said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness.
But the venomous glint that flashed through her eyes betrayed the calm she tried to project. The warmth in her words only made the malice underneath all the more evident.
Chao Yun's lips curled into a sneer as his scarlet saber shot from his hand with blinding speed.
With an unpredictable flow, his saber moved in an intricate dance, carving strange runes in the air as it shot toward Miao Yin. The blade sang through the air, its motion mesmerizing and dangerous.
WHOOP!
The sound of space itself being whipped was deafening.
A sharp tremor rippled through the air as the saber spun in reverse, sending a wave of pressure that made Miao Yin narrow her eyes, her gaze sharpening like that of a predator.
