Chapter 28: The Great Rebellion

Roar…

The Black Flame Lion roared continuously as it charged into the battlefield. This lion was incredibly ferocious, rampaging through everything in its path and causing chaos, and since the Black Flame Lion had a level of intelligence equal to that of a human, it could naturally discern friend from foe.

The Black Flame Lion quickly reached the center of the battlefield, and Yun Yi leaped high into the air.

"Young General, catch the sword."

Yuan Lang shouted loudly, throwing a battle sword high into the sky. Yun Yi caught the sword firmly in his hand and fell from above, swinging the sword down.

"Huang Liang, prepare to die."

Yun Yi’s presence was formidable. He did not choose anyone else to confront but directly approached Huang Liang. It is said that to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader; to defeat the enemy, one must first defeat their general. Although Yun Yi had never been on the battlefield, he was the son of a military leader and was well-versed in the art of war.

"Hmph! Little brat, it seems the Yun family hides very well. A mere ninth-grade Open Spirit Realm thinks it can battle with me, the commander. You have no idea what you’re getting into. Today, I will completely end the Yun family."

Huang Liang let out a cold snort and did not view Yun Yi as a threat. Although he was slightly surprised by Yun Yi’s sudden transformation, he quickly adjusted. To him and Chen Wangye, Yun Yi was not a waste; he was a hidden genius, concealed by the Yun family.

This only indicated that the Yun family’s ambitions were longstanding. Otherwise, why would they hide Yun Yi’s strength and make him act foolish, pretending to be useless?

The Yun family’s schemes were too deep. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and saw through their intentions, crushing the rebellion early on.

At this moment, Huang Liang thought that even if Yun Yi was a genius, he was still just a ninth-grade Open Spirit Realm. As an innate realm expert, he naturally looked down on Yun Yi. In his eyes, Yun Yi’s choice to step forward was incredibly unwise and almost akin to seeking death.

It is essential to understand that there is an insurmountable gap between the Open Spirit Realm and the innate realm. No matter how powerful an Open Spirit Realm expert is, they cannot match an innate realm opponent.

Huang Liang jumped into the air and fiercely slashed his sword at Yun Yi.

The two great experts clashed like two colossal mountains, drawing the attention of everyone present, whether friend or foe, all eager to see if Yun Yi could stand up to the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Clang!

The two swords collided, unleashing terrifying spiritual power from both sides. Yun Yi’s entire body, including his sword, shimmered with a dark glow, exuding power that could crush anything in its path.

After the strike, everyone was taken aback.

Under countless astonished gazes, the sword in Huang Liang’s hand was sliced in half by Yun Yi. Without losing momentum, Yun Yi’s strike continued with unstoppable force, severing one of Huang Liang’s arms in a swift manner.

Ah…

Huang Liang let out a heart-wrenching scream as his severed arm flew ten feet away. Under the immense pressure of power, he spat blood and fell to the ground from mid-air, creating a deep pit upon impact.

"The commander of the Imperial Guard is nothing special."

Yun Yi’s expression was unforgiving, radiating cold intensity. He landed with his sword, and the icy blade ruthlessly grazed Huang Liang’s neck.

With one swift strike, the head rolled to the ground, and blood gushed forth.

On top of the fallen head, Huang Liang’s eyes remained wide open, filled with the fear and unwillingness before death.

A master from the innate realm was no match for Yun Yi; he was defeated in an instant. If it weren’t witnessed with one’s own eyes, who would believe it?

The once noisy battlefield fell strangely silent at this moment, as everyone stared in shock at the king-like Yun Yi. The power of that strike left an unimaginable impact on their hearts.

"Oh my goodness, am I seeing things? How is this possible? Does he really only possess the power of the Open Spirit Realm?"

"The commander was defeated in an instant; how could that kid be so strong?"

"Is this even a human? It’s a monster."

……

The soldiers from Mysterious Dragon Pass looked extremely troubled; Yun Yi had instantly defeated their commander, a result they could hardly accept. The blow to their morale was beyond imagination.

"Young General!"

"Young General!"

"Young General!"

……

Looking at the Yun Family Army, the soldiers who were filled with despair suddenly erupted with a roar like a flood. The words "Young General" shook the world, resonating through Mysterious Dragon Pass and stirring the hearts of every enemy.

At this moment, all despair turned into fiery passion. Countless soldiers of the Yun Family Army had tears of joy in their eyes. The Yun Family Army once again saw hope; the Yun Family would continue on.

"Hahaha…"

Qian Luofeng couldn’t say a word; he just laughed at the sky, tears streaming down his face.

No one could understand Qian Luofeng’s feelings at that moment. At a critical time for the Yun Family, he made a very wise decision that brought new hope to the Yun Family and the Yun Family Army.

Yun Yi had no expression on his face. He shook his sword, pointing it straight at Chen Wangye.

Hiss!

Feeling the coldness of the sword, Chen Wangye gasped sharply, a wave of unprecedented danger and fear rising in his heart, making him unable to help but take two steps back.

"Yun Yi, don’t deceive yourself. Your Yun family has gone against the emperor, and there will be no good ending."

Chen Wangye spoke, but his voice lacked strength.

Yun Yi, a name that had never appeared in their minds, someone who was never taken seriously, the number one useless person in the Imperial Capital, a worthless nobody in everyone’s eyes—Chen Wangye never imagined he would tremble before this young man one day.

But at this moment, Chen Wangye felt desperate, not understanding how Yun Yi had become so powerful, able to defeat someone at the innate realm with the strength of the Open Spirit Realm. Yet Huang Liang’s death was right in front of him.

Similarly, if even Huang Liang was no match for Yun Yi with a single blow, what right did Chen Wangye have to fight Yun Yi?

"Vice Commander of the Imperial Guard, Chen Wangye, I know you. You and Huang Liang have always been against my father, and you have whispered lies to that terrible emperor. Today, my Yun Family Army rises up; if Emperor Chu says the Yun family plots against him, then we will show him what plotting looks like. The throne of the Chu family should make way and let me have my turn for a couple of days."

Yun Yi said with a smile, his voice loud enough for almost everyone to hear clearly.

Everyone knew that this time, the Yun family had truly rebelled.

Only the Yun Family Army understood that the Yun family’s rebellion was forced upon them.

"You, you, you… little beast, how dare you say such treasonous words! The Yun family is indeed a traitor and must not be spared. The emperor is wise and powerful; he will surely have you torn apart by five horses."

Chen Wangye trembled with anger; it was the first time he had heard someone dare to declare rebellion and claim the emperor’s throne. To Chen Wangye, Yun Yi seemed completely insane.

"Torn apart by five horses? You will never see how I end, because you will forever sleep in this Mysterious Dragon Pass."

Yun Yi’s killing intent surged; he stopped wasting words with Chen Wangye and charged forward with his sword like a dragon.
