213: Chapter 0213 Indulging Myself Once in a Day
"Father, I..."
Zhao Caiwei struggled internally.
"Child, you should also be willful for once for your own sake!"
Zhao Yunting swept his spear, killing three enemy soldiers, as if returning to the bravery of his prime on the battlefield.
He turned his head, his eyes containing a hint of reluctance to part with his daughter and gratification, and said with a smile.
For myself... be willful for once?
Zhao Caiwei's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a sudden throb pulsed deep within her heart!
"I understand. Father, take care. I will be back soon... Jia!!..."
She said no more and turned her horse around!
In black armor with a silver spear, she rode alone, leaving only dust behind as she boldly charged back toward Jingmen!
On the other side, Lin Xiao had already stacked Bloodlust to 1002, breaking a thousand once again!
The enhancement to his saber technique was significant; a single swing sent Blood-shadow Blades sweeping out fifty or sixty meters!
Scorching Fire Burning the City transformed into crimson flames, capable of igniting the enemies' hair and scorching the snowy ground into patches of rising steam!
This massive range of destruction made it impossible for the White Kings Army to employ any tactical coordination, and it was difficult for them to launch sneak attacks with arrows.
Lin Xiao was killing with gusto when he heard rapid hoofbeats and a woman's shout from behind.
"General Lin! I've come to help you!!—"
Lin Xiao's divine sense swept out, discovering that Zhao Caiwei had fought her way back.
He was momentarily speechless. He had finally found an experience dungeon and was grinding enthusiastically; what the hell was she "helping" with!?
Although there wasn't much prestige—since there were no big figures—his cultivation points were skyrocketing, already past five thousand. The Black Saber only needed a few hundred more to upgrade!
"Miss Caiwei! I can handle this, go help General Zhao quickly!"
Lin Xiao tried to persuade her kindly. Even his Indestructible Diamond Body's cooldown was almost up; as long as he maintained his stamina, he was basically invincible!
"My father took a great recovery pill, and his cultivation has temporarily recovered sixty to seventy percent. He can manage!"
Zhao Caiwei galloped forward, her silver spear sweeping left and right, forcefully carving out a path!
"Don't! It's dangerous here!"
Lin Xiao's heart bled as he watched her kill seven or eight enemies in one go!
"Don't look down on me! I am also a general of the Cold Iron Guard! Am I some coward who fears death?!"
Zhao Caiwei replied coldly, but a hint of warmth rose in her heart.
He would rather face danger alone than have her come over.
They had only met yesterday, yet he was willing to risk his life to save her. Why?
Was it truly just because of a request from Brother Zhao Kuan?
Or was it... that the things he said to her under the moon last night were all sincere?
Zhao Caiwei felt that if she kept thinking, her mind would stop following her orders, so she simply stopped thinking and focused on killing the enemy.
Seeing that persuading her was useless, Lin Xiao had no choice but to work harder at stealing kills.
The White Kings Army and the Cold Iron Guard rebels constantly felt that Lin Xiao was at the end of his tether, yet they never saw him reach exhaustion!
They retreated further the more they fought. The man before them was like a demon god, seemingly intent on slaughtering them all. Many were already terrified out of their wits, their will to fight completely gone!
"Gen... General Zhang! Let's retreat to Jingmen City quickly!"
"Yes, as long as we hold the city, we will be invincible!"
The Long and Fei brothers were extremely nervous; they had defected to Prince Bai for the sake of survival and wealth.
But at this rate, why did it look like the White Kings Army was about to lose?
This man named Lin looked refined and scholarly, but when he killed, he was simply an Asura, a malevolent ghost!
Zhang Shide cursed the two as useless in his mind, but then he thought they were right. Since they held the city, why continue this desperate struggle outside?
"Archers, cover us! The army is retreating into the city!"
Zhang Shide turned around and led the cavalry toward the city.
How powerful was Lin Xiao's divine sense? He naturally noticed their movements.
He checked Indestructible Diamond Body; it would be ready to use again in about ten seconds. His heart grew steady!
"Miss Caiwei! They're running, I'm going after them!!"
Lin Xiao was overjoyed to see Zhang Shide retreating. This was for the best; with Zhao Caiwei by his side, he couldn't fully unleash his power for fear of accidentally hurting her.
"General Lin! There are ballistas over there!"
Seeing Lin Xiao pursuing them alone toward the city gate, Zhao Caiwei's heart leapt into her throat!
There were heavy ballistas on those city walls that could pierce iron armor from hundreds of meters away. Even if you are a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you are still made of flesh and blood!
Sure enough, seeing Lin Xiao actually dare to give chase, Zhang Shide and the others were overjoyed!
"Haha! That man named Lin is looking for death!!"
Zhang Shide shouted his orders, "All heavy ballistas aim at that guy! I want a thousand arrows to pierce his heart!!"
Even without him speaking, the soldiers on the city walls already had burning gazes!
After all, Lin Xiao was worth over ten thousand gold!!
"Sou! Sou! Sou!!—"
Long ballista bolts, carrying the sound of breaking air, shot down from the city walls!
Dense and fast as lightning, they were impossible to avoid!
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao activated his 44-second real man mode again!
The sharp arrows, powerful enough to pierce a warhorse, landed on his body as if a mere pebble had grazed him!
It didn't hurt or itch!
Jinghong!
Lin Xiao's speed doubled. With wind at his feet, he turned into a blood-red afterimage, leaped into the air, and slashed down a Blood-shadow Blade!
The White Kings Army soldiers who turned back to see Lin Xiao pierced through did not see him killed; instead, they witnessed a scene that drove them to despair!!
Even this couldn't kill him!?
What kind of monster is this person!?
In the distance, Zhao Caiwei witnessed this scene with her own eyes, her pretty face flushing red with excitement!
In a daze, she seemed to see her father again in his prime, galloping across the battlefield!
But even when Zhao Yunting was uninjured, he couldn't be this heroic!!
A true man should be exactly like this!
Accompanied by massive wails and screams, Lin Xiao passed through fragmented flesh and blood like a malevolent god from purgatory, arriving behind Zhang Shide and the Long and Fei brothers!
The armies on both sides didn't dare to close in; that overwhelming killing intent had completely intimidated them!!
Zhang Shide and the other two, leading a few remaining soldiers, galloped in terror and finally entered the city gate!
"Close the city gate, quickly!!"
Zhang Shide should have felt relieved, but at this moment, something felt wrong!
In the past, he would have felt safe, but today...
"Rumble!!—"
A thunderous roar caused several cavalrymen behind Zhang Shide to be shaken until they spat blood and fell!
The iron-birch wood city gate was shattered inch by inch by a primordial monstrous force!!
Lin Xiao's Great Mercy Hand was more powerful than ten battering rams!!
The noise was so loud that it caused a stir both inside and outside the city!
Not only was Zhao Caiwei dumbfounded, but even Zhao Yunting and the others in the distance were staring in shock!!
After decades in the army, he had never heard of anyone who could blast open a city gate single-handedly!?
As a Spear Dao Grandmaster, Zhao Yunting admitted that even in his peak, he couldn't destroy a city gate of this level without a dozen full-strength attacks.
To smash it into pieces of wood—how was that possible!?
"Could he... be a... a Great... Great..."
An incredible thought emerged in Zhao Yunting's mind!
But this was simply too crazy; how could it be possible!?
