334: Chapter 334 First Glimpse of Talent

After General Enke confirmed he hadn't misheard, his expression became terrifyingly grim.

"I've long heard that this Lin Xiao likes to take the head of the enemy general from amidst ten thousand soldiers. Back then, my good brother Bate was killed by him."

"This general wants to see if he really has three heads and six arms, and if he truly has an immortal body!"

"Pass down the order: the five thousand men of the Huiyan Tribe are to intercept the reinforcements. The remaining twenty thousand will follow me to surround and annihilate Lin Xiao!!"

With General Enke's command, the sound of horse hooves from the high ground on both sides of the Xiata Valley suddenly roared like a mountain collapsing and the sea surging!

The entire valley seemed to be shaking with an earthquake; even the Zhenbei Army in the distance could hear it clearly!

"Mu Wanying, General Zhao, why aren't you going over?!" Princess Meng Xi gripped the reins tightly in nervousness.

Having grown up on the grasslands, she knew just by listening that such a commotion could only be made by at least twenty thousand troops!

The situation was very clear: the Northern Barbarian Army's plan from the start was to intentionally let them go deep, and then wipe them out in one go once they reached the Xiata Valley!

Mu Wanying said indifferently, "Princess Meng Xi, if you want to follow our husband in the future, the first thing you must learn is..."

"That is to trust him absolutely and never question his judgment."

Zhao Caiwei nodded in agreement, deeply convinced.

Princess Meng Xi was stunned; she could see absolute trust in the eyes of the two women.

Even the generals behind them, such as Qin He and Li Xu, were equally certain.

Wait a minute! What did she mean by "follow Lin Xiao"? What does that mean?!

Princess Meng Xi turned her head away, her mind in a mess.

Meanwhile.

Lin Xiao, alone on his horse, had already charged into the valley. The horse's hooves were rapid, kicking up icy snow mixed with mud.

Hearing the battle cries approaching from both sides, a tide-like wave of warhorses flooded into the valley...

In Lin Xiao's eyes, a long-lost fierce flame ignited!

He found his blood pumping, every cell in his body cheering with joy!

Without realizing it, he had gone from fighting out of necessity to being somewhat addicted to the slaughter of the battlefield.

Having not fought on a large scale for too long, he was actually looking forward to it immensely!

"Fire!!—"

Several commanders of a thousand gave the order loudly, and the Barbarian arrow rain suddenly fell like black stars across the sky!

Lin Xiao didn't even bother to specifically block them; he directly activated his protective astral qi.

The astral qi of the Land Immortal realm formed a hemispherical shield directly over himself and his horse.

These arrows couldn't even get within a meter before they were all blocked and fell.

The Barbarian cavalrymen were incredulous when they saw this; after three rounds of arrow rain, Lin Xiao was completely unscathed!

Everyone watched helplessly as Lin Xiao, without slowing down, charged recklessly toward General Enke's position!

General Enke frowned deeply: "Such strong protective true qi. No wonder there are rumors that the Khitan monster, General Yelu Chuku, also died at his hands."

"However... no matter how strong the true qi is, there will be a time when it's exhausted. To dare fight an army alone is seeking death!"

"Iron Bear Camp, form the Long Snake Formation and crush him!!"

Following General Enke's command, the heavy cavalry formation quickly adjusted its shape after the order was passed down.

The heavy cavalry, wrapped tightly from head to toe, began to charge head-on at Lin Xiao in groups of three!

Three heavy cavalrymen: two flanking and one attacking head-on, swinging heavy scimitars from three dimensions—the head, the body, and the horse.

These were the elites who guarded the Royal Court, all of noble birth and strictly trained since childhood.

During the high-speed sprint, the distance between the horses was almost identical, and their cooperation was seamless!

Lin Xiao laughed inwardly; this was perfect. Them coming to him was better than him chasing them everywhere—that would be too inefficient.

Facing the three heavy cavalrymen, Lin Xiao did not dodge. Using his protective astral qi, he forcibly crashed into the enemy in the middle.

The leading heavy cavalryman, man and horse together, was sent flying as if struck by a giant fist.

Lin Xiao swept his black saber, and a crimson blade light took off two heads!

Following the same pattern, Lin Xiao continued to charge forward with unstoppable momentum!

Every heavy cavalryman who confronted him head-on would be ruthlessly sent flying.

Those who tried to flank him from the sides were directly torn through their armor and cut down three meters away!

[Kill +3, Comprehension Ability +3, Bloodlust +3...]

...

In the blink of an eye, Bloodlust had already stacked to over two hundred layers!

Looking from a distance, the Barbarian Army saw that their most elite Iron Bear heavy cavalry were like people lining up to die; they couldn't even withstand a single blow!

Even more terrifying was that Lin Xiao had hardly slowed down. He was only a few hundred meters away from General Enke at the back!

"Lord Enke! How about we retreat for now? Lin Xiao's cultivation is too high!" a subordinate beside him said anxiously.

"Shut up!! Are you telling me to retreat in front of the Great King!?"

General Enke frowned deeply, realizing that such a charge couldn't stop him, and immediately ordered both flanks to close in.

"He can't possibly have such strength forever!! Everyone, attack!! Whoever kills him will be made a commander of a thousand and rewarded with a thousand gold!!"

For a moment, the sounds of battle cries and charges pressed down on Lin Xiao from all directions!

Lin Xiao was overjoyed to see the thousands of troops and horses surrounding him like a tide!

He had intentionally played small just to wait for this moment!

He kicked off with both feet and soared into the air from his horse's back, reaching a height of twenty to thirty meters!

Looking down from the sky, he could clearly see the thousands of Barbarian troops.

In the eyes of General Enke and the others, this scene was incomprehensible.

"What does he want to do?"

"Fly into the sky?"

"Does he want to use qinggong to escape?"

Just as the Barbarian Army was confused, Lin Xiao actually spread his arms and closed his eyes...

At this moment, all the noise became irrelevant.

Lin Xiao felt the connection between heaven and earth and himself, gradually merging into one.

The cold wind was like his own breath, obeying his call and turning into streaks of green sharp swords!

In a daze, it seemed as if a green dragon shadow was circling and moving around Lin Xiao.

"Zhu Xian Sword Formation... Sky-Rending Azure Dragon Formation!!"

Lin Xiao pressed his large hand down, and the sky full of green sharp swords, like the wind scythes of the God of Death, suddenly turned into a rain of death, pouring down!!

"Boom boom boom boom!!—"

Countless sounds of piercing, shattering, the wailing of metal, and the screams of the Barbarian Army...

Accompanied by the falling green sword rain, dark red blood flowers bloomed in the icy river valley!

For the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Lin Xiao had only learned the Eastern Azure Dragon volume.

But it was an immortal grade technique after all; its power was still beyond what ordinary people could imagine!

[Kill +3451, Comprehension Ability +3451, prestige +340]

[Bloodlust 3723, Duration...]

In just a few breaths, the thousands of Barbarian troops who had just surrounded him had almost all perished!!

[Ding! Obtained the achievement 'Mass Murderer' (Heaven Grade), prestige +1000]

Lin Xiao felt that the true qi in his body seemed to have decreased by half, and this was even with the Blood Drink effect helping him recover.

But for him, it wasn't a big problem.

To be able to harvest thousands of Comprehension Ability points in one breath was something he wouldn't have dared to think of before!

The moment he landed, Lin Xiao used the nearly four thousand stacks of Bloodlust to directly execute Starling Flash!

In an instant, Lin Xiao's speed was so fast that even he found it ridiculous, far exceeding the Daoist escape arts he had seen before!

In a single breath, he had crossed several hundred meters and arrived in front of General Enke's personal guards!

Being so close, there was no time to draw his saber, so Lin Xiao raised his hand and struck with the Great Mercy Hand!!
