What might seem normal to others was, in the eyes of Lin Yang and his two fellow Han Chinese, who were nonetheless true men of the Han people, too weak and lacking in the spirit and domineering presence of the Han people.
With a whoosh, the halberd spun around, and a faint light spread outwards. With a thud, dozens of heads fell to the ground.
At the same time, a torrent of blood gushed from his neck like a fountain. The scene was incredibly gruesome.
"This is called beheading." Looking at the dozens of headless corpses, Lin Yang's mood improved considerably.
Upon hearing this, Shi A, who was in the distance, laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll have him executed by slow slicing."
Having said that, his eyes widened, and he immediately spotted a master of innate talent. This person was also a Manchu, a member of the Manchu ethnic group. Judging by his age, he was only in his early twenties, and could barely be considered a minor genius.
"Remember this, the man who killed you was named Shi A."
Having said that, Shi A stepped forward and waved his right hand, causing dozens of golden sword energies to appear simultaneously. These energies then spun rapidly, growing faster and faster until they formed a yellow light screen beside the person.
ah
Accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, when the yellow light disappeared, a pristine white skeleton appeared. Beside the skeleton lay a pool of minced flesh and filthy blood.
Seeing this, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Not bad, this way of dying is creative. He was slowly sliced to death by your true energy, which can be considered a form of slow slicing."
Seeing this, Lin Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately hung his weapon on his horse. With a gentle turn of his right hand, Yin and Yang energies appeared. Immediately afterward, a vortex appeared. Then, a national clan innate expert who was more than ten feet away was sucked in.
With a flick of his left hand, he sealed all the vital acupoints on the man's body. Then, with a gentle stroke of his right hand, a stream of true energy, incorporating the five different attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, entered the man's body directly.
Then, Lin Yang threw the man into the crowd some distance away. The moment he landed, a deafening roar erupted.
He exploded!
Seeing this, Shi A nodded excitedly and said, "That's creative, but watch me, I call this 'dismemberment by five horses'."
"Hehe, that's nothing, watch me tear the Tartars apart with my bare hands..."
Watching Lin Yang and Cai Yan's actions, Cai Yan smiled, drew a women's short sword, and joined in. However, as a woman, her killing style was naturally not as simple and brutal as Lin Yang's. Instead, it was skillful and graceful.
The small dagger, barely a foot long, had become a reaper, relentlessly reaping the lives of the nearby tribes.
With each thrust of his sword, a Tartar soldier fell, severely wounded. Lin Yang saw clearly that the fallen Tartars did not die immediately, but struggled for a long time before slowly bleeding to death.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Yang realized that Cai Yan's attacks were highly skillful and precise. Each strike damaged the nerve fibers near the spine. The injuries wouldn't cause immediate death; instead, the patient would bleed to death.
More importantly, because the injury was near the spine, after the injury, he couldn't even move. He could only watch helplessly as his blood dripped out, feeling the pain of impending death. It was truly cruel.
Truly worthy of being a woman of the Han Dynasty! Women of the Han are indeed different from others. They are completely unlike the weak, tearful women of later generations.
But even though Cai Yan is so outstanding, why do I feel a chill in my heart? And why do I keep inexplicably thinking of a woodcutter's axe? What's going on here?

Chapter 54: Good Fortune but No Fate
In the Battle of Dongjiang Town, Zhu Jishi achieved a great victory, with the Plain Red Banner cavalry of the Eight Banners being completely annihilated and killed in action. As for the Green Standard Army, they all surrendered.
The Governor of Guangzhou, Ye Mingchen, had long ago made a private agreement with Lin Yang due to his broken state of mind. At this moment, it was only wise for him to know when to yield, and he directly led all the gentry in the city to surrender.
As for what happened next, Lin Yang wasn't interested. Moreover, in Lin Yang's view, many people already had opinions because of his and Shi A's words. However, these opinions were buried deep in their hearts.
Of course, this is something that Emperor Zhu would certainly be happy to see. With Lin Yang and the other two having made such great contributions, if they also have good relationships with their subordinates, Emperor Zhu might really be so worried he can't sleep at night.
The nameless, unknowable place was actually the forbidden zone that Lin Yang had entered. At this moment, everything was shrouded in a gray haze, with wisps of chaotic energy slowly flowing through it.
Here, there wasn't even a breeze. Everything was so deathly still, seemingly devoid of any life. There was no light, no darkness, no sound of wind, and no sound of rain. Everything was a hazy gray, unchanged for thousands of years.
However, at that moment, accompanied by a flash of light, a figure appeared on the spot. This person was Lin Yang.
"Wow, time flies. A month has passed just like that," Lin Yang muttered to himself. At the same time, he took out the unknown artifact from his pocket and continued to absorb the surrounding chaotic energy to protect himself.
Lin Yang's current official title is "Second-Rank Zhenguo Zhenren" (正二品镇国真人). All his hard work in helping Emperor Zhu rebel has finally yielded some reward.
With this status, and given that Zhu Jishi had already taken control of the entire city of Guangzhou, Lin Yang had thus obtained temporary residency rights within the Qing Dynasty.
Just like now, if Lin Yang wanted, he could have stayed in that world instead of this gray and gloomy one.
Simply put, Lin Yang obtained a green card from that world. He acquired immigration and residency rights.
Moreover, as Zhu Da Tianzi's power expands, this temporary right of residence will certainly become a permanent right of residence.
If things get tough in the main world, one can even permanently immigrate to that world – a fallback option. This is also why the Chosen Ones throughout history have been so difficult to kill once they've grown up.
After all, if you can't beat me, you can always run away!
However, just as Lin Yang was summarizing his gains and planning to contact other chosen ones to divide the world, the jade talisman at his waist lit up.
This jade talisman was specially made and obtained in the Land of Reincarnation. It allows communication even across vast distances. Therefore, considering his current situation, Lin Yang exchanged for several.
"Brother Peng, are you alright?"
Listening to the concerned voice coming from the jade talisman, Lin Yang could fully imagine how anxious and helpless Su Qing'er had been during this time. He could only say that the kindness of a beauty was immense.
"Haha, Qing'er, don't worry, just take care of yourself. I'm very lucky and have a long life ahead of me. Even if the world is destroyed one day, I will definitely live well. Right now, I'm probably in a special little world, and I've gained quite a few opportunities. I estimate that I'll be able to leave after a while," Lin Yang said with a smile.
However, a choked voice came from Yu Fu's side, followed shortly by Su Qing'er's cheerful voice: "Really? If everything's alright, that's wonderful. I knew it, Young Master would be blessed with good fortune. Everything's fine here, don't worry."
Hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile warmly. He then continued to comfort Su Qing'er, chatting with her from time to time and telling her jokes. Before long, an hour had passed, and their chat time for the day officially came to an end.
After all, while these jade talismans were valuable, they also consumed a lot of energy. Each talisman could only last for a maximum of one hour per day. A short while later, looking at the jade talisman in his hand, its light fading, Lin Yang suddenly shouted, "Aww, the time for a heartwarming call is over! Now it's time to get to work!"
Then, Lin Yang held a sword in his hand, at the other end of which was the incredibly magical sphere. At this moment, the sphere had also undergone some changes after absorbing a large amount of chaotic energy.
First, there's the color. It used to be just a dark, inconspicuous color. But now, it's gradually turning cyan, albeit a light cyan. At the same time, the overall weight is also increasing.
