The crimson blood tide parted obediently down the middle, flowing around Aaron like a tamed beast recognizing its superior master, the liquid writhing in submission.
With effortless control, Aaron reversed the tide's direction, amplifying its lethality tenfold before hurling it back toward Lan Cheng in a vengeful tsunami.

He swung his massive saber in a gleaming crescent arc, cleaving the returning blood tide cleanly in two and dispersing it into harmless mist.
"Heavy hand five decay curse!" bellowed Chang Ling, the Elder of Curses, lunging toward Aaron while extending his five fingers like deadly talons.
