When ou Yezi heard about this man, he sent the last of the five swords. The sword could "blow and cut the stone like mud". Gou Jian was an expert in fencing. When he saw the sword, he was overjoyed and danced with it. In order to test the edge of the sword, he raised his sword and cleaved to the huge stone.
