Amidst the rumbling vibrations and deafening roars, dust and dirt billowed high into the air, obscuring the sky and burying the entire Shaohua Mountain.
However, with Wang Han controlling the direction of his force, the dust and dirt he stirred up did not spread in his direction.
"What exactly happened?" Zhong Shidao and the people stared wide-eyed at Shaohua Mountain, which was shrouded in smoke and dust. They were not concerned about the bandits, but about Shaohua Mountain itself. After being struck by that sword, the terrifying commotion must have cleaved the entire mountain in two!
Half an hour later, the lingering dust was dispersed by a gentle breeze, revealing Shaohua Mountain, which could no longer be called Shaohua Mountain. The once vast Shaohua Mountain was now reduced to two halves of its slopes, with a huge ravine a hundred meters wide running through the middle. With a single sword strike, Wang Han had cleaved the massive Shaohua Mountain into a canyon, creating a hundred-meter-wide canyon road.
"Now I understand why the Great General isn't afraid to offend those ministers. With this... no one can do anything to him, not even an entire country," Zhong Shidao murmured. It was terrifying. A single sword strike could split a mountain. Who in the world could withstand such a strike? Even the two masters the Great General spoke of probably couldn't withstand it. And what country could resist the Great General? The Divine Might Great General truly lived up to his name; he indeed possessed a godlike power and might.
"General Zhong, what are you daydreaming about?" Wang Han patted Zhong Shidao on the shoulder, pulling him back to reality, and said with a smile. Seeing the shock on Zhong Shidao's face, he was satisfied. Intimidation—that was the effect he wanted. It made them suspicious of him, and any tricks they might try to pull would have to think twice about the consequences.
"General, you are indeed very capable. With you here, the prosperity of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner." Zhong Shidao laughed loudly after being brought back to his senses by Wang Han. After looking at the shocked civilians and soldiers around him, he continued, "Today, General, you have displayed great power. In the future, your fame will surely spread throughout the country."
Zhong Shidao realized that Wang Han was trying to intimidate—to intimidate the entire Song Dynasty. No wonder Wang Han said that once he witnessed his abilities, he would understand why he wasn't afraid to offend the court officials. Wang Han wanted everyone to know that they should be grateful if he didn't harbor any ill intentions, and those who wanted to deal with him should consider whether they were qualified.
"General Zhong, now that Shaohua Mountain has been leveled, I should go and see other places. Farewell." Seeing Zhong Shidao's expression, Wang Han knew that Zhong Shidao understood his intention, and smiled as he cupped his hands in farewell.
“The General hasn’t visited the Military Governor’s Office yet. Why don’t we go there first so I can show him the proper local hospitality and have a good drink with him?” Zhong Shidao said.
“There will be other opportunities to drink more in the future. Besides suppressing bandits, I also wanted to train my men this time, so I don’t have much time to spare.” Wang Han said with a smile.
“In that case, I won’t keep you any longer, General. Next time you pass through the Governor’s Office, you must come to the Governor’s Office and let us drink until we’re drunk.” Zhong Shidao said with a smile, without trying to persuade him to stay any longer.
“Of course, there will be good wine and food, and I won’t leave until you’re drunk. This case of wine is what I promised General Zhong; he can keep it for himself,” Wang Han said, waving his hand to leave a case of wine on the ground. He then walked towards Yang Zhi and the others, who were still in a daze. After bringing them back to their senses, he had Yang Zhi call the others, and then led the group, pulling the prison cart, away without making a sound.
"My God, the General must be a god!"
"It must be a god, otherwise how could he split such a big mountain in half with a single sword strike?"
"That blue giant must be the Great General's divine incarnation."
"If I could become an apprentice, it would be like my ancestors burning incense for generations."
After Wang Han left, the stunned crowd finally came to their senses and began to discuss the matter. Many people looked around, trying to find Wang Han, but unfortunately, he had already left.
"This matter needs to be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible," Zhong Shidao thought to himself. He had already guessed Wang Han's intentions and should report it to the court quickly to make those people behave themselves. Regardless of whether Wang Han was a real or fake immortal, such terrifying power was something the court and they could not afford to offend. Reporting it to the court early would prevent some people from being foolish enough to offend him, which would not only harm themselves but also the court.
However, if we could truly win over the Divine General to serve the court, at the very least, the Song Dynasty would enjoy a long period of peace, its prestige would be awe-inspiring, and no one would dare to invade. Furthermore, if the General were willing, expanding the territory and eliminating powerful enemies in the surrounding areas would be no difficult task at all. That would be a golden age like the Tang Dynasty.
There's no need to even consider this anymore; unless you're stupid, everyone knows there's only one path to choose from.

"General, what kind of magic did you just use? It was so powerful, it was like a god, splitting the mountain in two with a single sword strike!" Zhao Fujin asked Wang Han excitedly during their journey, gesturing as she spoke, as if she were the one who had just transformed into a giant and split the mountain in two with a single sword strike.
Yang Zhi and the others also looked at Wang Han with great curiosity, but they were much more sensible and did not ask any questions.
“Susanoo is a kind of magic similar to those shamanic rituals where the spirit possesses the body. The difference is that the shamanic ritual involves the spirit’s consciousness possessing the body, while Susanoo involves the spirit’s power possessing the body. By the way, Susanoo is a god in Japanese legends.” Wang Han said with a smile.
