27: Chapter 0027 The Greedy Wolf Young Master

When Lin Xiao returned to the military camp, Yao Gang and Qin He were already waiting.

"Commander Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Xiao, both men bowed respectfully.

Lin Xiao smiled. "You have no objections to coming with me, do you?"

"I've been wanting to go kill enemies with Commander Lin for a long time! Hehe!" Yao Gang said happily.

"It would be my honor!"

Qin He's expression was sincere; after yesterday's battle, he was completely convinced by Lin Xiao.

"That's good. However, going to Baishui City this time isn't about killing Northern Barbarians. You just need to stay alert at all times and act according to the situation."

The two men nodded, not in the least bit anxious. After all, with Lin Xiao present, they only needed to follow orders.

"Are you done yet? It's time to leave!"

Luo Shaohong and several officials from Baishui City had already been waiting impatiently.

Lin Xiao and the two men immediately mounted their horses and followed Luo Shaohong's group out of the city.

Baishui City was over a hundred miles away, and due to the undulating terrain, it would take half a day to arrive.

After riding for over an hour, Luo Shaohong and the four accompanying officials stopped by a river valley.

"Let the horses drink some water and take a rest. No need to rush; just arriving before dark will be fine."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao and the others stopped as well.

But just at that moment, a troop of cavalry charged out from a mountain path in front of the river valley!

"Northern Barbarian cavalry?!"

Seeing the attire of those cavalrymen, Qin He shouted out!

Lin Xiao immediately looked at the imposing, brawny man leading them; the man had two braids and a face full of flabby, cruel flesh.

He wore a brass-colored ghost-mask armor, clearly setting him apart from the others.

[Bota, 36 years old, Young Master of the Greedy Wolf Tribe, Talent: mystic grade]

[Technique 1: Greedy Wolf Blade Technique (55 years of cultivation), Grade: mystic grade]

[Technique 2: Greedy Wolf Archery (47 years of cultivation), Grade: yellow grade]

[Weapon: wolf fang cold moon blade, a dark iron long saber shaped like a wolf's fang, emitting a cold silver light under the moonlight. (mystic grade)]

[Armor: Northern Barbarian Iron Armor, armor popular among the Northern Barbarian nobility, heavy but with decent defensive capabilities. (yellow grade)]

The Greedy Wolf Tribe?

Isn't that Bate's tribe? Looking at the techniques and martial arts, everything matches!

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sneer. What a "coincidence"!

"Oh no! It's an ambush! Run!"

Luo Shaohong hurriedly flipped onto his horse and, taking his few subordinates, turned around and ran back!

But at this moment, another troop of cavalry charged out from the rear, fully twenty-some people, radiating a murderous aura!

"Let's fight these barbarians to the death!"

Luo Shaohong was completely unafraid; he drew his longsword and charged out with his men!

Yet those Barbarian Army cavalrymen had no intention of stopping them at all, letting the five of them pass through easily!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh; this trap was set up too clumsily!

But one thing could be confirmed—Baishui City, and even Prince Bai, had colluded with the Northern Barbarians!

"You are the Lin Xiao who killed my cousin Bate?"

Bota had originally received Bate's request for reinforcements, but just after arriving at the front line, he learned that Bate was dead and the army had been routed!

For the Greedy Wolf Tribe, this was an unacceptable humiliation, and he naturally had to find a way to regain face!

"If I said no, would you believe me?" Lin Xiao asked back.

Bota said with a murderous expression, "I am Bota, the Young Master of the Greedy Wolf Tribe. Today... I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"

Without any extra nonsense, Bota waved his hand, and the cavalry on both sides immediately launched a charge at Lin Xiao and the two men!

These forty-some cavalrymen combined were clearly carefully selected elites; none had talent below yellow grade, and their techniques all had at least a decade of cultivation base!

"Old Qin, Yao Gang, protect yourselves! Don't worry about me!"

Lin Xiao took the lead, advancing instead of retreating, and charged directly toward Bota's direction!

The old rule: to capture the bandits, first capture the leader!

Blood Demon Blade Flame!

He swung his blade out, and the five cavalrymen directly in front were sliced in half at the waist by the blade energy!

[Kill +5, Internal Energy +5, Bloodlust +5]

Amidst the splashing blood, Lin Xiao charged out of the encirclement!

Bota seemed to have anticipated such a situation; he had already picked up a repeating crossbow and fired three arrows in quick succession at Lin Xiao with a "swish, swish, swish"!

Lin Xiao hadn't expected the opponent to have such an "advanced weapon." Just as he was about to dodge, he realized the opponent's target was actually his horse?

The warhorse beneath him let out a mournful cry, its front legs buckled, throwing Lin Xiao off!

Taking this opportunity, Bota grabbed the wolf fang cold moon blade and ferociously slashed at Lin Xiao's neck!

Lin Xiao, now standing on the ground, parried with a backhanded stroke!

"Clang!!"

Lin Xiao felt the strain on his feet. The Blood Fiend Demon Blade with 60 years of cultivation couldn't gain the upper hand against the opponent's 55-year Greedy Wolf Blade Technique!

Clearly, the opponent's mystic grade talent played a crucial role!

What made Lin Xiao's heart sink even more was that his Blood-Drinking Saber had actually been chipped!

Damn it! The opponent's mystic grade blade was also a major, thorny problem!

"Central Plains man, you are strong, but... you are not my match!"

Bota grinned, revealing a sinister smile, and then immediately unleashed three consecutive slashes with the wolf fang cold moon blade at Lin Xiao with a "clang, clang, clang"!!

Lin Xiao felt the opponent's offensive was like a rushing tide; he was forced into passive defense, retreating step by step!

Even though the opponent was wearing heavy armor, there was no sign of sluggish movement.

Seeing the opponent's momentum reach a peak, Lin Xiao felt the time was ripe!

"Ah!!"

Lin Xiao let out a roar, as if pushed to the edge, unleashing a final resistance!

Bota spotted a flaw in Lin Xiao, immediately using a sharp Greedy Wolf Slash, aiming straight for Lin Xiao's ribs!

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao's Blood-Drinking Saber slashed fiercely toward Bota's head!

Bota dodged to the side, avoiding the fatal blow, while simultaneously slashing across Lin Xiao's body!

Just then, Bota's gaze suddenly tightened!

He was astonished to discover that his blade hadn't actually injured the opponent!?

Although Lin Xiao's body had shifted, there was not a single drop of blood or any injury!?

Indestructible Diamond Body!

Lin Xiao had activated the "Three-Second True Man" in advance. After successfully baiting Bota, his Blood-Drinking Saber had veered slightly, but still landed firmly on Bota's shoulder!

"Ah!!"

Bota let out a miserable scream, and one of his arms was directly severed!!
