258: Chapter 0258 The Kind-Hearted Killer

Jingtian County Battlefield.

The sounds of slaughter, screams, roars, and the neighing of warhorses echoed through the valley!

[ Bloodlust +1283, continuing... ]

Lin Xiao watched his Bloodlust score hit new highs, his body feeling increasingly light.

As he looked around, everything felt like it had entered slow motion.

The chaotic melee and the dark night had become his perfect camouflage.

If it were daytime, his terrifying lethality would have already scared off the White Kings Army.

But now, with tens of thousands of people busy distinguishing friend from foe in the darkness, he had killed thousands on his own without attracting any attention!

Only General Cao Wang and a few other officers of the Qing Kings Army, having caught a glimpse of this "Disguised Lin Xiao", were deeply shocked!

Especially now that Lin Xiao had switched to a black saber, his speed of slaughter was like a scythe cutting through wheat; one strike often claimed over a dozen heads!

Wherever he passed, the Qing Kings Army felt their pressure plummet, while the White Kings Army inexplicably collapsed like a falling mountain!

General Cao Wang and the others were seasoned veterans, so they immediately chose to follow behind Lin Xiao, picking off stragglers.

They had figured it out: Lin Xiao only headed for places with many people; he didn't even bother with individuals.

"Damn it... I've never seen anyone fight like this!"

"Keep up! We can win!"

General Cao Wang cursed while laughing heartily. He had thought they were doomed tonight, but it turned out there was a chance to turn the tables!

But in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao had already soared dozens of meters through the air and disappeared from sight.

General Cao Wang stared in astonishment. Too stunned to dwell on that light-foot technique, he had to focus on saving his own life first.

Lin Xiao wasn't intentionally ditching these crafty veterans; it was just that his Bloodlust buff had stacked enough!

When Lou Suifeng appeared with elite killers like Wubing and Wuzai, he had already set his sights on them!

These were all easy pickings!!

It was just that these killers were agile, and Lin Xiao was worried that if he wasn't fast enough to take them out all at once, letting them escape would be a huge loss.

Therefore, only after his Bloodlust was stacked up did Lin Xiao bare his fangs to claim their lives!

"Wubing! There's an expert!"

"I know, he's coming!"

Wubing and Wuzai had long noticed that something was wrong with the main army in the rear; the speed of reinforcements was clearly too slow.

Logically, the two or three thousand troops of the Qing Kings Army who had suffered losses shouldn't have been able to hold out for this long.

There was only one possibility: besides Jiang Wanli, the enemy had another expert in the rear putting pressure on the main army!

They just weren't sure how many there were.

As soon as the twin killers saw Lin Xiao fly down, they immediately flanked him from both sides!

The two coordinated perfectly, one attacking Lin Xiao's throat and the other his ribs, blocking his path of movement.

But suddenly, the landed Lin Xiao flashed between the two of them!?

Lin Xiao's instantaneous explosive power dragged out an afterimage!!

Caught off guard, the two passed by Lin Xiao, their attacks rendered completely useless!

Just as the twins showed looks of terror, unable to believe that anyone in the world could have such swift movement techniques, Lin Xiao had already spun out a deadly, blood-colored saber blossom!

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

Wubing and Wuzai were sliced in half at the waist; their lower halves remained on the ground, while their upper bodies were flung away!

They looked back at the halves of their bodies they couldn't take with them, dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Who... exactly is this guy!?"

[ prestige +200 ]

So satisfying!

Lin Xiao hadn't actually looked closely at who these two were; as long as they gave prestige, it was fine!

Borrowing the power of over a thousand stacks of Bloodlust, Lin Xiao executed the Jinghong technique; he was now moving so fast that these Yanyu Pavilion killers couldn't even see him clearly.

prestige +30, +40, +30...

These gold and silver-ranked killers, who had some fame in the martial arts world, quickly turned into ghosts under Lin Xiao's blade!

Some clever ones, upon realizing the situation was dire, chose to feign death, use disguises, or hide...

But in front of Lin Xiao's Eye of God, it was all meaningless!

In less than a minute, Lin Xiao had harvested over eighty killers.

The elites brought by Lou Suifeng were completely wiped out!

Looking at the suddenly skyrocketing 3000 prestige, Lin Xiao beamed with joy!

"Excellent! Killers of Yanyu Pavilion, the common people suffering from the epidemic will not forget you!!"

With these experts dead, Lin Xiao had no interest in continuing to kill the foot soldiers.

He wasn't the nanny for the Qing Kings Army; helping them to this point was more than enough.

Whether General Cao Wang and the others could survive would depend on their own fate.

Lin Xiao turned into a gust of wind and soared in the direction of Jiang Wanli and Lou Suifeng.

At this moment, the battlefield of the two Martial Arts Grandmasters was already nearly two miles away from the main battle.

Jiang Wanli had tried to retreat to assist the battle several times, but Lou Suifeng kept restraining him with his black iron bow, giving him no opportunity at all.

Meanwhile, the poison in Jiang Wanli's body was gradually beginning to take effect.

His breathing and body felt increasingly heavy, and his movements were clearly starting to become somewhat unnatural.

Lou Suifeng kept moving, occasionally firing an arrow, purely using a kiting method, intending to wear this Northern Spear King to death.

In normal times, Jiang Wanli could remain in an invincible position.

But first, he was poisoned, and second, he was worried about the army behind him, so his condition was clearly deteriorating.

"What a Commander Jiang; poisoned by the Ten Thousand Poison Cave's 'Seven-Insect Heart-Devouring Powder', yet you can still hold on for so long."

"Hmph, Lou Suifeng, when you were a killer, I respected you a little. But now, to actually serve as a lackey for an evil master like Prince Bai who brings disaster to the world, are you not afraid of being ridiculed by everyone under heaven!?"

Lou Suifeng said dismissively, "Jiang Wanli, not everyone has the good fortune you do: gifted with talent from a young age, receiving the great opportunity of the Spear Immortal's inheritance, a prince taking you as a disciple, and smoothly taking charge of the Azure Dragon Guard..."

"For killers like us from the martial arts world, even if we become Martial Arts Grandmasters, in the eyes of the powerful, we are nothing more than tools for killing, stained with foul stench."

"In this world, besides an ambitious hero like Prince Bai, who can bear the notoriety of using me, Lou Suifeng?"

Jiang Wanli sneered, "You, the dignified second-in-command of Yanyu Pavilion, also covet wealth and glory? Truly laughable..."

"If one kills just for the sake of killing, that is what's truly sick. What is wrong with seeking wealth and glory?"

"I, Lou Suifeng, am going to be enfeoffed as a marquis and serve as a prime minister; what can you do about it!?"

While speaking, Lou Suifeng drew his bow and nocked an arrow again. This time, he took out three thinner black iron arrows and drew them simultaneously—

"Three Yin Soul-Lock!?"

Jiang Wanli had heard of this move, and the Dragon Raises Its Head in his hand immediately took a defensive stance.

The three arrows were fired simultaneously, floating high and low from three different angles, tracing three eerie arcs.

Because they were staggered, after Jiang Wanli blocked the first two, the third still grazed his leg!

"Argh! —"

Once again slashed by a poisoned arrow, Jiang Wanli broke out in a cold sweat!

"Hehehe..."

Lou Suifeng laughed sinisterly, "Your spear has slowed down. The next arrow will take your life!"

But just as he finished speaking, Jiang Wanli suddenly raised his head, leaned back, exerted fierce force from his waist and abdomen, and hurled the Dragon Raises Its Head violently!!

"Take this spear! Falling Heavenly Star!"
