Flying on her sword, Li Yunzi flew over the rebel army, looking down at the dark mass of Wutu citizens.
Many of the Wutu rebels looked up. When they saw the woman flying over them on a sword, every one of them revealed looks of surprise.
That was especially true for the rebel army’s commanders. Over half of the commanders were the rulers and generals of Wutu’s nine cities. How could they not recognize this person flying on a sword?!
She was once the empress of Wutu, ruling over the land for a whole year. Before she was overthrown, there wasn’t anyone who wasn’t afraid of her iron-blooded methods!
Li Yunzi flew over the majestic rebel army, and soon arrived at the triangular central area of the valley.
She slowly descended, and slowly raised her right hand. A soft, silver silk appeared out of nowhere, intertwining quickly in her palm…
The silver silk wove together, turning into a twinkling snow white sword in an extremely short time.
The night sky was dazzling from the stars to begin with, but it was eclipsed the moment Li Yunzi raised her snow white sword!
Shua!
She slashed the entrance to the valley. A silver sword light tore through the night sky like thousands of gorgeous comets, following Li Yunzi’s swing and striking at the mouth of the valley!
Be it Wutu’s rebel army, or the soldiers of the Flying Birds Battalion, their faces were filled with astonishment. It was very hard to imagine a mortal having the power to cut the mountains!
The rock of the steep cliffs on both sides were sliced apart, and a huge crack was left on the ground!
Sword marks were usually left on the chests of enemies, or on tree trunks. However, Li Yunzi’s slash was aimed at the mouth of a valley that could hold a thousand people, slicing through the path and the stone on both sides of the valley!
The sword mark was like a natural trench, separating the rebel army under their shocked gazes.
Li Yunzi seemed to have done it intentionally. She didn’t point her sword at anyone, but even if her slash didn’t kill a single soldier, it was no different from corpses strewn everywhere to the Wutu rebels after witnessing the might of her slash!
“With this slash as the boundary, you people decide for yourselves between life and death!” Li Yunzi didn’t speak loudly, but as a Demigod, everyone inside and outside of the valley could hear her clearly!
After a brief silence, the rebel army started to stir restlessly. Most Wutu citizens had only seen ordinary soldiers wielding weapons, occasionally seeing some powerful dragons appearing on the battlefield. They had never seen someone who could split the ground with a single slash!
“Anyone who crosses the sword boundary will be viewed as rebels and killed without mercy.
“Those outside the sword boundary will be considered citizens. My, Li Yunzi’s, citizens!
“As my citizens, your lives will no longer be decided by the heavens, but by me. I will let you survive the winter, and live on.”
Li Yunzi’s words reverberated throughout the whole valley, even spreading beyond it.
The men of the Flying Birds Battalion were confused at Li Yunzi’s actions!
Shouldn’t all these rebels be killed, no questions asked?
Shouldn’t they be made to realize the Ancestral Dragon City State’s strength, and forced to back down on their own?
How could they be called citizens?
Soon, a commander among the rebel army with a bear-like body shouted, “She’s only buying time. Don’t believe this woman!”
