18: Chapter 0018 Mysterious Package

Lin Xiao had a clear goal: wherever there were many people, he would charge into that area!

Like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep, wherever he passed, the Barbarian Army was torn to shreds, and the sounds of wailing and terror shook the heavens!

[ Bloodlust + 32, duration 60 seconds ]

...

[ Bloodlust + 57, duration 60 seconds ]

Lin Xiao unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to have overestimated the Barbarian Army's ability in positional warfare!

Once these guys were without a leader, they turned into a bunch of simpletons with absolutely no coordination to speak of!

What Lin Xiao did not know was that his single slash that killed Bart had dealt a psychological blow to the Northern Barbarians army that far exceeded his expectations!

One must know that for Bart to be able to serve as the vanguard general, his personal strength was absolutely beyond reproach!

He had once torn a lion apart with his bare hands during a hunt!

During the Barbarian Army's grand competition, he had advanced to the top four of the entire army and received the warrior title of "Baturu"!

Ever since Bart had taken on the role of vanguard general, he had been invincible in battle and unstoppable in his attacks!

The eight northern border cities they had previously conquered were all broken within three days!

Yet now, such a fierce general had actually been killed!?

What kind of terrifying character must that guy be, who could break into the main camp alone and behead Bart!?

Coupled with the earlier deaths of Commander Lang and the others, it had already caused some impact.

After consecutive major victories, they had encountered successive intense setbacks.

When things reach an extreme, they turn into their opposite!

The panic that had been building up in the hearts of the Barbarian Army completely exploded at this moment!!

"Demon!! This man is a demon!"

"Run! He cannot be killed!!"

The soldiers of the Barbarian Army screamed crazily and scattered to flee.

And because of this, in the chaotic military camp, the cavalry could not even come in to surround and annihilate him.

Lin Xiao, having stacked nearly sixty layers of Bloodlust, was killing until his eyes were red and naturally would not let such an opportunity slip by!!

Relying on speed far exceeding that of ordinary Barbarian Army soldiers, Lin Xiao turned into a shadow of death, crazily weaving between these Barbarian soldiers!

Kill! Kill! Kill!!

The Blood-Drinking Saber swept past, and heads flew off in unison!

Blood Demon Blade Flame!!

A single horizontal slash swept out, and the rampaging blade energy instantly swallowed a large swath of the Barbarian Army more than ten meters away!

79 layers of Bloodlust caused the range of the Blood Demon Blade Flame to suddenly expand by more than double!!

[ Kill + 21, Internal Energy + 21 ]

Lin Xiao had unknowingly gained 100 years of Internal Energy!!

But he currently had no cultivation techniques that needed adding to; relatively speaking, he needed speed more!

Because only if his speed was fast enough could he kill more, and it would be harder for him to get hurt.

Lin Xiao simply decided to be extravagant; as soon as the effect of the gale pill wore off, he spent another 100 Prestige to buy another one!

The +30% movement effect was continued once again!

[ Ding! Host has spent a total of 1000 Prestige points, the mall has successfully upgraded, unlocking the "Exchange" service! ]

[ Ding! Mall rebate, obtained "Mysterious Package"! ]

Upgraded? And an exchange function? What on earth is this Mysterious Package?

Lin Xiao had no time to look further; right now, killing was what mattered!

His figure was like a whirlwind of death, chasing after the enemy army that had already been scared out of their wits, and Bloodlust continued to stack!!

"Central Plains dog! Take your life!!"

The sound of hoofbeats came from behind; Commander Ada had finally returned with the elite cavalry!!

[ Commander Ada, 30 years old, Northern Barbarians vanguard army commander, aptitude: yellow grade ]

Lin Xiao glanced back, and seeing it was yellow grade aptitude, he had absolutely no interest in looking at any of his other attributes.

For a martial artist of the same aptitude, to Lin Xiao, who now had over a hundred layers of Bloodlust stacked, there was no difference from a common soldier!!

Seeing Commander Ada waving his long saber, intending to rely on the power of the cavalry charge to behead him in one strike...

Lin Xiao turned and unleashed a Blood Demon Blade Flame directly!!

"Hum!! — —"

The erupting blade energy instantly sliced Commander Ada, who was on his horse, in half at the waist!!

Along with a dozen or so cavalry soldiers behind Commander Ada, they all inexplicably became ghosts!!

[ Kill + 13, Internal Energy + 13, Prestige + 30 ]

This destructive saber technique directly scared the cavalry battalion that was still intending to charge over into hastily dodging away!

Lin Xiao didn't care about the cavalry, because chasing them was too much trouble; he turned around and continued to pursue and kill the retreating Barbarian Army.

Until the effect of the gale pill wore off, Lin Xiao vaulted onto a warhorse and began to charge fiercely in one direction!

Wherever he passed, not a single Barbarian Army soldier could withstand even one slash!

The Barbarian Army found it hard to believe; how was this Lin Xiao like a monster with infinite stamina, and becoming more and more ferocious!?

"Retreat!! Retreat quickly!!"

The Barbarian Army sounded the horn for retreat.

The last surviving commander gave the order; they completely did not want to fight anymore.

They didn't even want the supplies in the main camp, and crazily fled toward the rear en masse.

Lin Xiao pursued for three miles, alone in the open wilderness; even if his Zhuobie Archery was extremely precise, he couldn't truly kill all the opponents.

When one arrow missed, Lin Xiao's Bloodlust finally could not be maintained.

From an astonishing 338 layers, it directly fell to zero!

When Bloodlust wore off, Lin Xiao instantly felt a wave of fatigue, and even some exhaustion!

"Damn... that was close! This Bloodlust actually has side effects!?"

Lin Xiao realized that he must be cautious in the future; Bloodlust would give him a false impression that he was still capable, when in reality, he was already very tired!

Looking at the several thousand Barbarian Army soldiers fleeing in the rolling dust, Lin Xiao felt a bit incredulous.

He alone had actually scared away such a large army?!

This battle result was truly unexpected!

But thinking about it carefully, the Northern Barbarians were originally a nomadic people and did not place much importance on the gains or losses of a single city or territory.

To them, one success or failure was not important.

Preserving their effective strength, gathering more troops next time, and coming back to the Great Gan border to burn, kill, and loot was their way of survival.

Lin Xiao saw that there were no more enemies, and not in a hurry to recover his stamina, he did not take any more pills.

He returned to the battlefield, scanned it with his Eye of God, and picked up another yellow grade bow.

He also scavenged two yellow grade swords from Bart's military camp; looking at their style, they didn't look like they belonged to the Northern Barbarians, they must have been captured from the hands of Great Gan generals!

Besides this, Lin Xiao also dug out some gold and silver jewelry, which he accepted without declining.

After confirming there was nothing else good, Lin Xiao rode his horse and began to return to the Stone Fortress.

The Barbarian Army had left behind a lot of food and fodder; as long as they had these, the Stone Fortress could hold out in the short term!

What Lin Xiao didn't expect was that, after riding only halfway, he saw General Zhao Kuan leading the soldiers of the Dead Soldier Battalion, charging toward him?

As soon as General Zhao Kuan saw Lin Xiao bathed in blood, his eyes stunned!

"Lin Xiao, where is the Barbarian Army? I brought men to support you!"

Lin Xiao was somewhat taken aback, "Support me? Didn't I tell you guys that returning to the city would be fine?"

"You were able to keep your word and force the Barbarian Army cavalry back to their camp; could it be that we, so many grown men, are not as good as you alone!?"

When General Zhao Kuan said this, many soldiers of the Border Army behind him also nodded in agreement.

"That's right! Let's fight them to the death!!"

"I don't believe that I am not as good as a Scholar Lin!!"

Looking at the simple and passionate faces, Lin Xiao also felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

He knew that the Scholar Lin the soldiers were talking about was not himself.

But people are not made of wood or stone; he was still infected by this stirring and passionate atmosphere.

Scum like Vice Commander Chen Zhou and Chen Hu exist everywhere.

But most of the Border Army soldiers had backbone!

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were unwilling to let their homeland be trampled by barbarians!

"General Zhao, the Barbarian Army has already fled in defeat; I was just planning to go back and tell you this news!" Lin Xiao smiled.

"What!? This... how is this possible!?"

General Zhao Kuan and the others looked at each other, their faces full of shock!

"Lin Xiao, how did you do it!?"

Lin Xiao pulled a blood-stained head from behind him as if performing a magic trick.

"Do you recognize him?"

General Zhao Kuan's pupils shook violently!

"This... this is the opponent's great general, Bart!?"

In an instant, everyone in the Dead Soldier Battalion looked as if they had seen a ghost, unable to say a word for a long time.
