The sound of water surged, and the evening breeze drifted gently. All of a sudden, the eyes of the commanding general at the prow snapped open, bursting with golden light. Unbeknownst when, his Yanyue Blade had already moved—

Only a flash of the blade was seen under the moonlight.
Immediately after, a 'puff' was heard as fresh blood sprayed across the sky, staining the sails red. The great ship then 'boomed' with a violent tremor, waking all the soldiers aboard. They ran onto the deck to see a dark python appearing from nowhere.
"A demon serpent!"
"By heavens, a vile beast with a thousand years of Dao ability!"
The soldiers were startled and, lifting their torches, they saw that the python was already severed. Its huge head rolled to the side, and the body as thick as a water bucket continued to thrash wildly, banging against the surroundings with 'thumping' noises.
