211: Chapter 0211 Slaying the Serpent

Zhang Shide had actually been watching for a long time; he was even more excited than the Zhao brothers.

Who didn't know that Lin Xiao had long since become Prince Bai's heart ailment?

This guy hadn't stayed hidden in Cang Province and had actually run to E Prefecture to seek death single-handedly?

"Kill Lin Xiao! A reward of ten thousand gold!!"

Zhang Shide was going all out; as long as he could slay Lin Xiao, it would be an immense achievement!

Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men!

When the soldiers of the White Kings Army heard of the ten-thousand-gold reward, their eyes turned green with greed as they looked at Lin Xiao!

That was no longer a man, but a mobile gold mine!

So what if his martial arts were strong? On the battlefield, there was never a shortage of those with high martial arts skills!

He was human, and humans get tired; as long as he let his guard down for a moment, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would die!

Besides, there was a massive disparity in troop numbers now.

With over five thousand Cold Iron Guard defecting, sixty thousand White Kings Army troops were fighting thirty thousand Yan Kings Army troops. Combined with having their backs to Jingmen City, they were practically invincible!

Zhang Shide was full of confidence.

In this battle, he would not only crush the Cold Iron Guard in one fell swoop but also execute Lin Xiao, establishing an unprecedented legacy for the White Kings Army!

At the thought of his name being recorded in history... Zhang Shide's face flushed with excitement!

"Pincer attack from both flanks! Stretch out the iron chains! Stop that man named Lin!!"

At Zhang Shide's command, over a hundred elites of the White Kings Army directly flanked from both sides, greeting Lin Xiao with a flurry of blades, spears, and iron chains!

Even if he could break through the dozen or so in front, could he possibly force his way through the obstruction of over a hundred people?

As long as his speed slowed down and Lin Xiao was surrounded, becoming a trapped beast, he could be worn down until he died!

Watching the group of White Kings Army soldiers who weren't afraid of death charging at him, Lin Xiao was almost moved to tears!

Good heavens! Finally, he didn't have to chase them down everywhere himself!

The enemy troops back in Cang Province, because they feared his name, would run away frantically whenever they saw him; it was annoying to death!

Lin Xiao executed the Dragon Soaring Steps, his black blade like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves. With a few rotations, the Heaven-Burning Blade Qi directly took away dozens of White Kings Army soldiers!

Wherever he passed, those chains, blades, and spears were all severed by the black blade!

Not a single person could withstand even one strike from Lin Xiao!

[Kills +31, Cultivation +31, Bloodlust +31...]

In this first encounter, the black blade's kill count began to skyrocket!

Zhang Shide's pupils shook violently. What was going on!?

How had his elite troops become so fragile!?

"What a God of War of the Northern Border!!"

Zhao Yunting, who was swinging his iron spear, was greatly amazed upon seeing this scene!

Even in his youth, he could not have achieved such effortless grace!

Zhao Caiwei's eyes were like stars, revealing a hint of disbelief!

Is this what he looks like killing enemies on the battlefield? He is like a completely different person compared to his usual self!?

Before anyone could think further, Lin Xiao had already continued hacking his way toward Zhang Shide's location!

Even without using ultimate moves like the Great Mercy Hand, with Lin Xiao's current cultivation, killing these White Kings Army soldiers was no different from chopping melons and vegetables.

However, Lin Xiao intentionally slowed down his speed.

If he killed Zhang Shide too early and the enemy collapsed and retreated, how could he continue farming?

Also, if the Yan Kings Army turned the tables and captured Jingmen, that would be problematic.

Even so, Lin Xiao's individual strength, carving out a path of blood in a short time, greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Hanguang Battalion!

"Follow General Lin!!"

"Break out first!!"

Taking advantage of the surge in morale, the commanders of the Cold Iron Guard began their breakout.

Zhang Shide realized the situation was bad and hurriedly retreated to the far rear.

"Zhao Yelong, Zhao Yefei, what are you standing there for?! Why haven't you led your men up to assist?!"

Zhao Yelong's expression changed. "General Zhang, didn't you say our Dragon Battalion only needed to be observers in this battle?"

To truly ask them to fight their own father was something they still couldn't bring themselves to do.

Mainly, these members of the Cold Iron Guard already felt guilty and couldn't bear to strike their comrades.

"Idiots! I'm telling you to deal with Lin Xiao!"

Zhang Shide cursed, "He's a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If he really kills his way right in front of us, will any of you have a way to live!?"

Hearing this, the two brothers' faces turned pale as they realized the gravity of the situation.

"Dragon Battalion! Form the Long Serpent Formation and charge Lin Xiao with me!!"

Although Zhao Yelong's martial prowess was average, he had led troops for many years after all and immediately entered the state.

The Dragon Battalion cavalry transformed into a fierce long serpent, launching a charge at Lin Xiao, like a violent snake flicking its tongue and opening its bloody maw!

"General Lin, be careful!! Get out of the way!!"

Zhao Caiwei, who was in the middle of the struggle, felt her heart tighten upon seeing this!

She knew very well that no matter how strong a martial artist was, they could not single-handedly confront the well-coordinated Long Serpent Formation of the Cold Iron Guard head-on.

But Lin Xiao showed no intention of dodging; he suddenly found that this single-file formation looked more like "lining up to deliver"?

Seeing the "snake head" strike, Lin Xiao directly struck out with a Great Mercy Hand from a distance!

Boom!!——

Surging snow, mud, and rocks were kicked up on the battlefield, and dozens of cavalrymen were directly overturned and shaken to death along with their horses!

But such a massive impact still failed to stop the Dragon Battalion behind them; they reached Lin Xiao in an instant!

Their charge was continuous; even if the people in front died, those behind would not retreat!

One after another, long blades and spears rained down on Lin Xiao, carrying the immense kinetic energy of a heavy cavalry charge!

Even with armor on, one would be hacked into two pieces!

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao directly activated his "Indestructible Diamond Body"!

44 seconds of crowd control immunity was enough for him to hold out for a while!

He stood his ground, enduring the blades and spears striking from both sides, and disregarding everything, he used the Blood Shadow Mad Blade to swing out arcs of crimson blade fans!

[Bloodlust +189! Duration 60...]

[Bloodlust +201!...]

The Dragon Battalion cavalry, who continuously attacked him, although hitting Lin Xiao with their blades and spears, could not cause him any substantive damage!

Lin Xiao advanced instead of retreating, starting from the head of this "snake" and beginning to "disembowel" it from the middle!

He took several heads a second, and his Bloodlust unknowingly stacked to over four hundred; the growth was gratifying!

Moreover, because of the "Blood Drink" effect, Lin Xiao's current physical consumption was becoming slower and slower, almost only one-fifth of what it used to be.

Even without taking pills, he didn't have to worry too much about side effects.

"Im... Impossible!!"

The two brothers, Zhao Yelong and Zhao Yefei, seeing that Lin Xiao had actually tanked so many fatal wounds without dying, felt like they were seeing a ghost!

No matter how tough the psychological quality of those Cold Iron Guard cavalrymen in the Dragon Battalion was, they all showed fear now!

He can't be killed! This guy can't be killed!?

In the blink of an eye, wherever Lin Xiao passed was filled with broken corpses, and blood melted the snow, forming a deep red path of blood!!

Lin Xiao, in his shattered armor and holding his blood-stained black blade, looked disheveled and covered in blood, but not a single drop was his own!

"General Lin! God of War!!"

"We have the God of War of the Northern Border!! We can win!!"

Someone shouted, and the soldiers of the Hanguang Battalion let out lion-like roars!

All the Cold Iron Guard warriors still fighting the White Kings Army and resisting stubbornly also had hope ignited in their eyes!

They had heard of Lin Xiao's legendary battle achievements, but seeing it with their own eyes was a completely different concept!

It was too shocking! A hundred times more shocking than the rumors!!

With such a God of War, it was no wonder he could make Prince Bai spit blood in rage yet be unable to do anything!

Zhao Caiwei, who was bravely breaking out with bloodstains on her face, looked back at that figure, her heart also trembling wildly!

At this moment, she deeply realized the weight of Lin Xiao's words "doing what I say"!!

Pfft!——

Just then, Zhao Yunting suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood in the center of the battlefield, leaning on his spear against the ground, his aging body swaying and on the verge of collapse!

"Father!!"

"Commander!!"

Zhao Caiwei's heart jumped into her throat; she had actually guessed long ago that her father's body wouldn't hold out for much longer.

She sent an enemy soldier flying with her spear, turned, and sprinted toward Zhao Yunting, catching her old father with one hand before he fell!
