17: Chapter 0017 My Husband Did It

The black-red Blood Demon Blade Flame erupted viciously, sending the blades in the hands of the two centurions flying, and knocking them off their horses!

Lin Xiao had no intention of finishing them off; his target was clear, his eyes locked firmly onto Batte, who was only five meters behind!

After all, Batte was a seasoned veteran; though surprised, he remained calm in the face of danger!

"Foolish!"

Batte sneered coldly. He had seen too many self-righteous martial arts experts who thought they could stand against a regular army.

Yet in the end, these fellows all became ghosts under his blade!

The reason was simple: as long as they were human, they were made of flesh and blood!

The battlefield changed in an instant; a single mistake would doom these fellows to destruction.

Batte drew his Skull Ghost-Head Saber and roared loudly, "Kill him!"

The Barbarian Army chiliarchs on both sides had already thrust out their long spears and lances, pre-emptively predicting Lin Xiao's path!

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly accelerated, pushing the effects of the gale pill to the limit, causing those on both sides to misjudge his position!

The long spears and lances swept past behind him, all of them narrowly avoided!

Batte's expression changed; he hadn't expected Lin Xiao to be so cunning.

But he was very confident in his Greedy Wolf Saber Technique; as long as he wasn't killed in one hit, he just needed to stall Lin Xiao!

He was a great general; there was no need to duel with an assassin!

"You're courting death!"

Batte gripped his saber with both hands and delivered a fierce vertical slash, unleashing the powerful and heavy move, Greedy Wolf Shakes the Moon!

The Ghost-Head Saber carved a ferocious arc, clashing head-on with Lin Xiao's Blood-Drinking Saber!

"Screech!"

Lin Xiao swiped his blade, deflecting most of the opponent's force, and leaped into the air!

Almost simultaneously, he pulled a spare blade from his storage space and stabbed fiercely toward Batte's throat!

Batte, however, was not panicked at all. When he saw Lin Xiao jump up, he knew his intention.

The Ghost-Head Saber retracted with extreme speed, and almost simultaneously, swung toward Lin Xiao's abdomen!

Because the Ghost-Head Saber was longer, Batte remained completely unruffled, dodging sideways while slashing at Lin Xiao!

With the move Greedy Wolf Rends the Void, it was like the sharp claws of a starving wolf, aiming to tear Lin Xiao to shreds!

Sure enough!

Before Lin Xiao's blade could touch him, the Ghost-Head Saber had already struck Lin Xiao's abdomen!

However, the next instant, Batte realized something was wrong!

The scene of evisceration he had imagined did not happen!

"How is that possible!?"

The shock in Batte's heart was beyond measure!

He had clearly struck him; could this man have cultivated the divine Indestructible Diamond Body art!?

On the contrary, although Lin Xiao's blade hadn't pierced his throat, the Blood-Drinking Saber in his other hand had already swung up!

From the very beginning, Lin Xiao had been intentionally feigning a weakness!

What he was waiting for was the opportunity for Batte to lower his guard!

"Blood Demon Blade Flame!"

Lin Xiao pushed his speed and strength to the limit, unleashing a full-power strike against Batte alone!

The violent blade qi surged out more than ten meters, engulfing even the two centurions behind him!

"Ah!"

Batte roared in terror and unwillingness, but it was too late!

The next second, his head went flying; he died with his eyes wide open, his blood spilling onto the yellow sand!

[Kill +3, Internal Energy +3, Prestige +120!]

Having killed a vanguard general and two centurions in succession, his prestige shot up instantly!

But Lin Xiao had no time to worry about that; he instantly picked up the yellow grade Skull Ghost-Head Saber, as well as Batte's head, and tossed them into his storage space.

Then, without waiting for the surrounding Northern Barbarian Army to react, he charged straight into the most densely packed area of the crowd!

The strength potion's effect had a minute and a half left; he had to seize the time to cut off more heads!

"Blood Demon Blade Flame!"

The Barbarian Army, having just seen Batte killed, was in chaos; in their panic, how could they be Lin Xiao's match!?

[Kill +5, Internal Energy +5]

Blood Splatters Seven Feet!

The blade qi once again sent several heads flying, blood spraying wildly!

[Kill +7, Internal Energy +7]

[Bloodlust +12, duration 60 seconds]

With two great recovery pills remaining, Lin Xiao had already consumed one in advance!

Earlier, in order to kill Batte, the 'three-second true man' buff had already been used up.

There was no margin for error left!

At a time like this, his stamina recovery absolutely had to keep up!

Lin Xiao completely transformed into a killing machine; he wanted to stack as much Bloodlust as possible while he was in his strongest state!

Only by being violent enough would his chances of breaking out be greater!

"General Batte is dead! Avenge the General!"

"Don't let him go! Quickly surround him!"

The remaining few chiliarchs shouted loudly, but none dared to easily step forward, their expressions becoming uglier by the second.

Watching the man swiftly weaving and charging through the crowd, his blade qi crisscrossing, they were all panicked!

The one who killed Commander Lang and hundreds of cavalrymen must be this fellow!

General Batte had clearly struck him with a saber just now, yet it couldn't harm him?

This person... could he be a ghost or a god!?

The front line.

Commander Ada, leading two battalions of cavalry, was launching a charge!

General Zhao Kuan and hundreds of "dead soldiers" in front, upon seeing them coming, actually turned and fled immediately!?

Ada naturally wouldn't let the meat that had reached his mouth slip away.

While cursing the Central Plains people for being as cowardly as mice, he also felt something was a bit eerie.

And just at this moment, from the rear camp, a shrill horn sound rang out!?

"Lord Ada! Something has happened at the main camp! This is the horn signaling that a general has died!"

Ada's expression changed drastically; he quickly reined in his horse, looking back in total disbelief.

"General Batte!? This... how could this..."

Ada's scalp tingled; looking at General Zhao Kuan's group, he suddenly realized the truth!

"Damn it! We've fallen into a trap! Quickly return to reinforce!"

Ada knew very well that even if these thousand cavalrymen chased after them, they wouldn't be able to break the city.

Rather than going up to risk his life, it was better to hurry back.

With Batte dead, military authority was up for grabs; he couldn't miss this opportunity for promotion!

General Zhao Kuan and the hundreds of Border Army soldiers who were fleeing frantically discovered that the barbarian cavalry behind them had actually retreated, and they were all greatly puzzled!

"General, what's going on? They ran away?"

"It seems like there was a horn sound? Did something happen at the barbarian main camp?"

General Zhao Kuan listened carefully, an expression of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

"This... this is the signal that the commander has died. Is Batte dead!?"

A group of Border Army soldiers looked at each other, all in a state of bewilderment!

Batte is dead? Then who killed him!?

Could it be... really Scholar Lin!?

On the city wall, Xiao Qingxuan and Leng Bingyan naturally also saw this miraculous scene.

It was just too far away, so they didn't know exactly what was going on.

"The Barbarian Army has retreated! Bingyan! Did you see! My husband did it!"

Xiao Qingxuan happily grabbed her good friend's hand, shaking it vigorously with joy.

"I said it before, my husband is no ordinary person; he is definitely not a nobody!"

Leng Bingyan's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock; that fellow... what earth-shattering thing had he actually done!?

How could one person block ten thousand Barbarian Army iron cavalry!?

At the same time, the Northern Barbarian vanguard camp had completely descended into total chaos!
