The woman opened her mouth, forgetting even to breathe. After a long while, she murmured in a low voice, "Divine punishment! It's divine punishment! The heavens have opened their eyes to save us Han people!"
Yao Ji suddenly lowered his fully drawn bow, his face filled with shock, which was quickly followed by immense joy. "It's the Lord! The Lord has made a move!"
A smile also appeared on Xie Nanxiao's face, his chest surging with emotion. "It is the Lord, truly unfathomable like gods and ghosts!"
Zhou Sui felt a roaring in his ears. Back in Liang City, he only knew that Jiang Jin had killed Jiao Liang, but he and Chen Xi had gone to rescue Chen Zi at the time and had not seen Jiao Liang's corpse.
So this was how Jiao Liang had died!
Xia Chanyi felt her entire body go numb. She looked blankly at Zhou Sui and the other two, asking with a trembling voice, "What, what are you saying? The Lord did this?"
Dong Si also looked at them with a face full of hope, waiting for their answer.
Since this was the Quzhao army's second time attacking the city, the commoners inside were acting very calmly. With Luo Qingci holding down the fort, he didn't stay in the city for long before hurrying up to the city tower. His archery skills were quite good, and he could kill the enemy.
Xie Nanxiao looked slightly smug. "Of course. Though even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."
Xia Chanyi: "..." For some reason, this guy's smug look was really asking for a beating.
Dong Si, however, was so excited that his face flushed red. The Princess was actually this powerful!
Could this also have been taught by the bald donkeys of Yinshan Temple?
Pfft, no, the eminent monks!
He hurriedly apologized to the eminent monks of Yinshan Temple in his heart, slowly calming his violently heaving chest caused by his agitation.
Let alone the shock of those few, all the soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with both terror and excitement.
They were terrified because this bizarre and unpredictable power and method made people shudder in fear.
They were excited because this power and method were helping them, the Han people, helping their Jinyang Army. Their Jinyang Army was the chosen army, and their Lord was the chosen one!
Everyone was roaring crazily and screaming with excitement in their hearts, yet the scene was completely silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Jin's eyes were cold as she once again aimed the muzzle of her gun at the man on horseback standing between Qu Chou and Qu Xiang.
She initially thought the Quzhao people were using Han commoners to clear the way, but she didn't expect their behavior to be even more despicable, actually using the Han commoners to threaten Gefeng City.
If that were all, it would be one thing, but they actually wanted to make an example out of a child.
Because of the distance, she couldn't hear what they were saying, but through the high-definition scope, she could see their expressions and lip movements clearly. She could figure out their conversation without even having to guess.
Naturally, she couldn't tolerate this. Since that was the case, she might as well send them to meet their ancestors.
Yilan Peak was about six or seven li away from Gefeng, and the length of Gefeng City was a little over two li. The entire distance did not exceed ten li, which was within 5,000 meters.
With her sniper rifle and shooting accuracy, this distance was absolutely no problem; it was just going to waste a few of her bullets.
It should be known that her sniper rifle was an anti-materiel sniper rifle, featuring a long range, high precision, and immense power, as well as being equipped with various high-end instruments.
In the 25th century, guns had almost been phased out. Humans of that era used energy chips directly implanted into their bodies.
But she had trained with sniper rifles and was exceptionally gifted.
At that time, if humans failed to awaken special abilities before the age of seven, it meant they were ordinary people.
They could either accept their fate as ordinary people, or risk their lives training to strengthen themselves, implanting an energy chip around the age of fifteen.
Because the energy of the chip was extremely violent, it had high requirements for the carrier's physical and psychological qualities. The slightest carelessness would result in being smashed to pieces.
And she was an ordinary person, but she refused to accept her fate. For eight years, she continuously broke through her physical and psychological limits, all just to become a warrior.
She initially started practicing shooting to train her arm strength and endurance, as well as her focus, but gradually she fell in love with this feeling of absolute calmness.
So even after she implanted the energy chip and became a warrior, she couldn't bear to throw away this sniper rifle that had accompanied her for many years.
And when she implanted the chip, she unexpectedly awakened a spatial ability, becoming the only case of someone awakening an ability as late as fifteen.
She also became the only person to possess both a special ability and an energy chip at the same time.
It was a pity that the energy chip didn't follow her here, but since her body had changed, it was normal that it didn't come along.
As for the spatial ability, it was an ability she had awakened herself, likely connected to her soul, so it had followed her to this world.
Qu Chou, riding on his horse, had a higher vantage point and saw the fragmented pieces of the general and the sky filled with red.
He knew this general was gone, but he didn't understand what had just happened.
A person, perfectly fine, standing under the sun, and the next instant, his upper body and head were gone! Turned into a sky full of blood mist!
"It's divine punishment! Divine punishment! The heavens have opened their eyes!" the old woman suddenly shouted, her entire body trembling with excitement.
The Quzhao soldiers all felt their hearts tighten. Divine punishment?!
Could it really be that the heavens were helping the Han people?
No, impossible!
They, the Quzhao, were the true masters of this world; there couldn't possibly be any divine punishment!
It must be some trick played by the Han people again. Qu Chou's eyes reignited with fighting spirit. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a faint, strange sound ring by his ear.
At the same time, warm liquid and fragments splashed onto his face and body, and a sharp pain came from his neck.
He only felt a chill run through his entire body, his mind going blank for a moment. With a trembling hand, he reached for his neck and felt a sharp, hard object covered in viscous liquid lodged there.
He shakily pulled the hard object out and brought it before his eyes.
It was a blood-stained fragment of shattered bone!
He turned his head numbly to look at General Wei beside him.
He saw that General Wei, who had been alive and well just a moment ago, only had everything below his waist left. His upper body had vanished!
Qu Chou's mind was in chaos, and his nostrils were filled with a thick, suffocating stench of blood. He tightly gripped the shattered bone in his hand—this was General Wei's bone!
The highest military commander of their Liuxiang Commandery was just gone!
General Wei's warhorse seemed to sense a strong uneasiness and anxiously took a few steps back.
Thud.
The remaining half of General Wei's corpse fell to the ground.
Divine punishment!
It was divine punishment!
Qu Chou roared in his heart, his mouth open, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Pfft.
Qu Chou was blown apart!
The horse beneath him sensed the crisis, its hair standing on end. It reared up high on its front hooves, neighing as it threw Qu Chou's corpse off.
Qu Xiang finally reacted, scared out of his wits, and roared, "Retreat, retreat, hurry, retreat..."
Pfft.
Before he could even finish his words, his body was blown into countless pieces, spraying over the surrounding Quzhao soldiers and generals.
The soldiers and generals, who had been sprayed time and time again, were all terrified out of their minds. This bizarre and unknown method was the most terrifying of all.
"Divine punishment! It's divine punishment! Everyone run, run..." The Quzhao soldiers all fell into chaos.
The three highest-ranking generals were dead, torn to pieces, disappearing in a tragic and bizarre manner.
"General Wei is dead, struck by divine punishment! General Pingnan and the County Commandant have also been struck by divine punishment! Run!"
The soldiers in the back still didn't know what was happening at the front; hearing the shouts, they were somewhat confused.
Then, seeing the soldiers fleeing in panic at the front, having abandoned all their siege equipment like scaling ladders, battering rams, trench bridges, and catapults...
They instantly panicked, and without caring whether it was true or not, they turned around and ran along with them.
However, there were simply too many people. Leaderless and without anyone to command them, they fled frantically in all directions, crushing against one another in sheer chaos. To make matters worse, the cavalry ended up trampling many of the foot soldiers to death.
