55: Chapter 0055 Throwing Himself into Her Arms

Lin Xiao naturally knew he was in danger, but he wasn't panicked at all!

"Indestructible Diamond Body!!"

Lin Xiao instantly activated his 6.6 seconds of Super Armor!

Several officers who thought they could kill Lin Xiao found that when their blades and spears struck him, they were either repelled by a massive force or felt like they were slashing against a large iron plate!

"How is this possible!!?"

The group of military officers was dumbfounded. They were all trained martial artists with at least a decade of experience in blades and spears; how could they not even manage to wound a single man!?

Even if this guy had skin of bronze and bones of iron, shouldn't there be at least a mark left!?

Little did they know, with Lin Xiao's current 300 years of Indestructible Golden Body cultivation, his physical body was terrifyingly strong even without using Indestructible Diamond Body!

Coupled with the golden silk soft armor protecting his vitals, it would be a miracle if these blades and spears had any effect!

Seeing the invulnerable Lin Xiao, General Fan Zhong was completely terrified!

This wasn't a man; this was a ghost or a god!!

"Save me!!—"

Even though General Fan Zhong had 38 years of spear technique cultivation, he had lived in luxury for years and had no intention of fighting for his life.

Realizing he couldn't win, he became flustered and was almost ready to throw away his spear!

Lin Xiao wouldn't let him have his way. Seizing the final second of Jinghong's dash, he struck with a single blade—Flowing Fire Waterfall!!

Squelch!—

The Crimson Flame Blade Qi slashed down diagonally, decapitating the fleeing General Fan Zhong!

[Kill +1, Cultivation +1, Prestige +100]

Lin Xiao snatched up the fallen Snow Silver Spear and hoisted General Fan Zhong's head high!!

"Fan Zhong is dead! Who else?!—"

Seeing this, the thousands of soldiers nearby were instantly thrown into a panic, not knowing what to do.

Just then, one of General Fan Zhong's trusted lieutenants roared, "Don't panic!! He's only one man!!"

"The General is dead. Even if we go back, the Inspector General won't let us off!! He must die!!"

"Archers!! Shoot him dead, quickly!!"

Several quick-witted officers shouted loudly to stabilize the troops' morale.

After all, General Fan Zhong was Inspector General Jiang Shengyuan's brother-in-law. If they couldn't kill Lin Xiao this time, they wouldn't have a good end when they returned!

Taking advantage of their numbers, several lieutenants planned to wear Lin Xiao down!

Martial artists all knew that no matter how strong a warrior was, they couldn't maintain peak stamina forever!

Lin Xiao's state of invincible bravery just now couldn't possibly last too long.

"Motherf*cker..."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao knew it would be difficult to scare these people off directly.

He had to first kill these lieutenants and officers who were inciting the soldiers and commanding on the field!

With a strike of Blood Splatters Seven Feet, he first harvested an opportunist who was trying to throw a spear from behind.

[Bloodlust +80, duration 60 seconds!]

Although the Jinghong effect had worn off, with Bloodlust stacked to 80 layers, he still had plenty of stamina and was incredibly fast!

Lin Xiao put the Snow Silver Spear into his storage space. Although he didn't lack yellow grade weapons, they could all be exchanged for Prestige.

And his storage space had already increased several times from its original one cubic meter.

After his aptitude improved, all his attributes increased, including the storage space.

Then, Lin Xiao charged directly into the most crowded areas!

Just like when he charged into the Northern Barbarian Army camp, the archers couldn't easily fire arrows into the crowd.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao's Heaven-Burning Blade Technique and Blood Fiend Demon Blade were perfect for large-scale slaughter!

Blade light swirled, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Lin Xiao's Dragon Soaring Steps left the soldiers disoriented; everywhere he went, screams followed.

A cloud of fear began to loom over the Cangzhou Army!

Lin Xiao's clothes felt soaked in blood, and the pungent metallic scent made him even more violent!

[Bloodlust +127...]

[Bloodlust +146...]

[Bloodlust +183...]

The soldiers wouldn't just line up to be killed; they would also form formations and dodge.

After charging and killing for a few minutes, Lin Xiao clearly felt that even with the support of Bloodlust, his steps were becoming heavy!

Mainly because in the chaotic army, he needed to be highly focused to guard against stray arrows from all directions, which increased his exhaustion.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the camp!

"Enemy attack!!—"

"Cavalry is coming!!—"

Mu Wanying and General Zhao Kuan finally arrived with several hundred elite cavalry!

When they saw the chaotic camp and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounding a single man in the center, shock was written all over their faces!!

One against ten thousand! A true hero!!

"Lin-lang!!"

Mu Wanying felt both admiration and pride for her man, yet she was also worried about him.

The female general immediately drew her bow and fired, taking down three sentries in a row!

"Kill!!"

General Zhao Kuan shouted and charged into the camp on horseback, his spear piercing through an enemy's throat!

General Wu Jinzhe, Chen Chuan, Li Xu, and the others all showed their best skills, taking advantage of the Cangzhou Army's chaos to charge and harvest enemies on the outskirts.

The Cangzhou Army, which had been focusing on surrounding Lin Xiao, suddenly found people taking their heads from the outside and instantly fell into a state of total chaos!

"It's the Mu Family Army! Run!—"

When they saw the "Mu" character military flag, the soldiers seemed to find an excuse to flee!

In an instant, most of the officers and soldiers lost their will to fight and fled frantically back to Pingcang County!

Mu Wanying and General Zhao Kuan pursued them for a while, killing several hundred more before stopping.

After all, it was impossible to truly kill over twenty thousand people. Moreover, once they got close to the county town, the terrain would become narrow, and their cavalry's advantage would vanish.

"Phew..."

Lin Xiao was panting heavily. He had just taken the last great recovery pill to restore some strength, but he was still very tired.

When the Bloodlust effect ended, he felt a brief moment of exhaustion, but fortunately, he was safe now.

"Lin-lang, how are you? Are you hurt?"

After dismounting, Mu Wanying rushed to Lin Xiao and looked him up and down.

"I'm fine. This Fan Zhong wasn't even as good as Bate. As soon as I arrived, he lost his head."

Lin Xiao brushed aside the woman's messy hair; it felt good to have a woman who could charge into battle with him.

"Haha! It seems my worthy brother's fame has already spread throughout Cangzhou Prefecture, and perhaps even all Six Northern Provinces!"

General Zhao Kuan laughed happily. Winning with fewer numbers once again—this battle was truly exhilarating!

"Brother Zhao, we only took them by surprise. If we really dragged it out, we definitely wouldn't have won."

Lin Xiao said, "We should clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, see what's worth taking, and then retreat!"

General Zhao Kuan's expression turned serious. Knowing the real show had just begun, he immediately ordered a tally of the spoils.

The prefectural army had fled in a hurry, leaving many supplies and horses behind.

The group took all the food and supplies they could carry, and their harvest was so plentiful that they couldn't help but be excited.

"Haha, we really have to thank that Inspector General Jiang. He knew we were short on food and came to send us some warmth!"

"General Lin is truly peerless in martial arts. I've really had my eyes opened; taking the enemy general's head from among ten thousand troops is actually real!"

Hearing these words, Mu Wanying's gaze toward her lover became even more filled with admiration. A sense of belonging and security made her want to throw herself into his arms and let him cherish her.

However, in front of her subordinates, she still had to maintain her dignity as a female general.

Just then, Chen Chuan brought several panicked men, women, and children dressed in somewhat flashy clothes before Lin Xiao.

"Commander, these people claim to be a Theatrical Troupe brought by General Fan Zhong for entertainment. They were hiding in the granary and didn't have time to run. How should we handle them?"

Lin Xiao glanced over and saw that many of them were carrying musical instruments; they were indeed traveling performers.

But after checking their attributes with the Eye of God, he actually found an "unexpected harvest"?
