Chapter 42

At this moment, Li Yunzi waved her hand and issued the order to the Flying Bird Camp in mid-air to execute the slaughter!

Hundreds of flying bird pseudo-dragons dived down, each of them exuding a bloodthirsty aura, perfectly echoing the ferocity of the flying bird pseudo-dragons!

This aerial dive was more devastating than the trampling of iron cavalry, like reaping wheat, a vast expanse of blood could be seen, with countless rioters falling into the blood pool!!

"Charge, charge, we have no way back!!" There were still people in the rioting army waving flags and shouting.

Blood spurted continuously from the front, screams rose and fell, but there were still people charging towards the sword marks, they charged to the shallow pond that was left, and ran madly towards Ronggu City!!

Black shadows rose and fell like geese, each low-speed dash taking away the lives of the rioters along the way. Those running rioters never made it to the city walls of Ronggu City and were brutally killed.

Blood flowed like a stream, gradually seeping into the fields, gradually gathering in the valley streams. Corpses also continuously rolled into the valley streams, being washed by the blood, even in the night with a hint of mist, everything was still so shocking!!

The deputy general with the long eyebrows was riding a winged dragon.

This winged dragon flapped its wings strongly, lifting the rioters high into the air, and the deputy general's long sword swung rapidly, accurately slaying them one by one!

In a short time, the deputy general had already killed dozens of people.

Driven by bloodlust, she couldn't help but roar, seeing a group of rioters trying to escape, she immediately rode the winged dragon to chase after them.

The long sword was raised, just as the deputy general was about to slaughter them all, a sword shadow flashed by, knocking her long sword away. Even the winged dragon was startled by this sudden sword shadow, flapping its wings frantically to avoid falling to the ground.

"Those who retreat beyond the sword boundary are my people!" Li Yunzi's voice came from above.

The deputy general with the long eyebrows was stunned, though she had some annoyance and confusion, she didn't dare to chase beyond the sword boundary.

The Flying Bird Camp had unparalleled combat power, and the thousands of rioters could not possibly match them. Those who crossed the sword boundary were basically slaughtered.

Corpses filled the shallow pond, and the fields were also littered with debris. Li Yunzi coldly observed all this, unmoved, and ordered the execution of anyone who crossed the sword boundary!

"Retreat, retreat, and you can live!"

"Don't kill me, I don't want to die..."

Li Yunzi's words were not just for the deputy general with the long eyebrows; the rioters struggling in the blood also heard them. When there is an absolute disparity in strength, no one does not cherish their own life. They retreated, they fled...

Indeed, as long as they retreated beyond the sword boundary, the Flying Bird Camp would not pursue them. They were still in shock, as if they had just passed through the gates of hell.

Those who charged forward, driven by bloodlust, would indeed act recklessly, but seeing their companions die one after another, fear and the will to survive would make them calm down.

"Zhang Tuo." Li Yunzi spoke again, calling the name of a leader in the rioting army.

In the rioting army, a leader with an extremely haggard face had a complex expression.

He looked up at Li Yunzi, who was as brilliant as the sun and moon, unsure whether to respond.

"Tell them to lay down their weapons, I will help them survive this winter, but if they continue to riot, they will not live through the night!!" Li Yunzi said.

"I believe in your character, but how can I explain this to my brothers who have fought with me? You represent the Ancestor Dragon City-State, no longer our city lord. Behind me are tens of thousands of compatriots, they have no food, no warm clothes. If you truly pity the people of Wutu, please give us a way to survive. Even if we starve or freeze to death, we will never invade any city under your jurisdiction." The leader named Zhang Tuo said with a desolate look in his eyes.

"This is the way to survival I am giving you." Li Yunzi extended her left hand.

Suddenly, she used her left hand to grip her sword and made a deep cut, actually slicing open her palm!

Bright red blood flowed, running down the silver sword and through the gaps in Li Yunzi's fingers.

"What kind of promise is this???" Zhang Tuo shouted.

The blood was thick, forming a red thread, then sliding to the ground.

Li Yunzi simply let her palm face down, allowing the blood to keep flowing...

"I have prepared food and clothing, which are already on the way, enough for you to survive the winter."

"I swear by my blood, if it is not delivered before the blood dries, my life will be sacrificed to you."

The leader of the rioting army, Zhang Tuo, was stunned, unable to respond for a long time.

The soldiers of the Flying Bird Camp were equally shocked, they couldn't understand why Li Yunzi was doing this, when they could have completely annihilated these rioters!

"If we could survive by farming, why would we raise weapons?" Zhang Tuo said.

Zhang Tuo's words expressed the helplessness and despair of Wutu.

He looked back at the people behind him, who were still gathering here with no way to retreat. Most of them were numb, tortured by the cruel heavens to the point where they no longer had the right to think, only relying on instinct to survive.

Moreover, most of the people he saw were men...

But in winter, women and the elderly would also appear in this group.

In the depths of winter, even the children would appear, their weak figures would also be seen on the battlefield, children who should have remained innocent would become numb, and be tormented into beasts by hunger and cold!

Blame the heavens for being unjust?

Or blame the world for being heartless?

Zhang Tuo looked up again, at that proud figure.

Her blood had not stopped, it was a deep wound, and without applying medicine, the blood would never clot.

The people of Wutu recognized her, as long as they entered any of the nine cities, they could see the statue standing in the center, pure and proud. Most people would marvel at her beauty at first sight, but she was never a symbol of beauty...

Now, they saw the real person, with flesh and blood.

"Flying Bird Camp, retreat to Ronggu City." Li Yunzi ordered.

"Milady."

"Retreat!" Li Yunzi roared.

The military order was as heavy as a mountain, the two deputy generals did not hesitate.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The Flying Bird Camp was well-trained, as the two deputy generals rode their flying dragons towards Ronggu City, the black shadows quickly crossed the shallow pond and flew over the city walls of Ronggu City.

For a moment, the entire gorge was left with only Li Yunzi standing in the air.

In front of her were tens of thousands of rioters, a group of people abandoned by the heavens, suffering from hunger and cold.

Behind her, there was not a single soldier.

Large drops of blood were falling, the night seemed silent.

No one stepped towards the sword boundary, the numb eyes of the people finally had a focus, they watched the woman standing in the air, watching her life slowly ebb away...

...

"We are all mere mortals, but Milady is a deity!" Zheng Yu couldn't help but exclaim from the city wall.

When the Lady arrived, he thought that with the military authority token, she would surely slaughter the threat to the east of the Ancestor Dragon City-State.

But he was completely wrong!

Beside him, Zhu Ming's eyes couldn't leave Li Yunzi, watching her face gradually turn pale, watching her left hand begin to tremble slightly...

At this moment, Zhu Ming suddenly remembered something extremely important.

The letter of cession in Yang Xiu's hand...

What Li Yunzi wrote on it was not the name of any city, not any of the rich cities of the Lingxiao City-State!

It was food and clothing!

It was the food and clothing that could save this entire Wutu,

It was the food and clothing that could help these people, who had no way to survive, safely through the winter!

Issuing the order to slaughter, showing no mercy or sympathy to those who crossed the sword boundary, at that moment, Li Yunzi was so cold and ruthless!

But cutting her palm and letting the blood drip, seeking a way to survive for the people of Ronggu City and Wutu, Li Yunzi was like a goddess descending, unwilling to see the suffering of the people.

This is why he could never see through her clear eyes, she was truly unparalleled in this world!
