Qingzhou, Yushan Prefecture.
The moonlight was like water.
On the quiet long street, a burly man clad in a short tunic hiccupped drunkenly with satisfaction.
He shook his head, suddenly feeling a chill down his spine.
In a trance, he looked up to the sky.
There, high above at over thirty feet, a suspended long sword had appeared at some unknown time, its presence like that of an indifferent hawk eyeing its prey.
The next moment, a sword light more intense than the moonlight poured down.
Splat—
The man's body was instantly dismembered, its chunks of flesh hitting the ground with plops, transforming into a huge furry limb and a ferocious beast's head gaping with large eyes filled with pure bewilderment.
Blood plasma spread unstoppably, staining the bluestone slabs a dark red.
The long sword changed its course and swooped towards Qingzhou City.
