6: Chapter 0006 Practicing Kung Fu in the Womb

Having spent all his money in the city, Lin Xiao bought a pile of food and drink, as well as some oil for starting fires.

Along the way, he also picked up two extra sabers and a set of armor for himself, just in case.

With the cheat that was his storage space, he naturally intended to make full use of it.

To leave the city, he couldn't use the city gates; the target would be too obvious.

Under the supervision of a group of border guards, Lin Xiao quietly climbed down from the edge of the city wall alone using a rope.

As soon as he landed, the rope was pulled back up immediately.

"Scholar Lin! I respect you as a real man!"

"I hope you can at least leave a whole corpse! Haha..."

Several veterans laughed loudly, offering their "blessings."

Although Lin Xiao had broken military regulations, no one truly hated him because Vice Commander Chen Zhou's lot deserved to die.

However, military discipline could not be disrupted. If Lin Xiao wanted to clear his name, he had to perform meritorious service to atone for his crimes!

Lin Xiao waved to the group and began walking along the edge of the battlefield toward the barbarian camp.

As he crossed a foul-smelling battlefield, Lin Xiao's gaze narrowed at the rows of poles erected ahead!

Upon every pole, a human head was impaled!

These were the civilians who had fled Stone Fortress; after being slaughtered, the barbarians used them for amusement and provocation.

"Teacher Chen... Auntie Liu... Yuanbao..."

Lin Xiao possessed the memories of this world. These elders he had known since childhood and the children from the school were now miserably exposed to the elements in the wilderness.

A wave of profound sadness and anger made him clench his fists.

Reason told him that these were actually strangers.

But reality told him that he had come to a parallel space remarkably similar to Chinese civilization, with yellow skin and the same language.

These alien barbarians were slaughtering his compatriots...

"Those who are not of our race must have a different heart!"

An enemy is an enemy!!

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued forward.

When he was about half a mile away, Lin Xiao found a deep pit and hid himself first.

Every so often, the barbarians would send out cavalry to patrol and scout within a two-mile radius of Stone Fortress.

Such small cavalry squads usually consisted of about ten men, coming and going like the wind.

Teacher Chen and the other civilians had died at the hands of these cavalrymen.

The place where Lin Xiao was hiding was exactly on the patrol's mandatory route.

He hadn't actually decided to wait until nightfall to strike.

His primary strategy was to increase his strength in a short time, killing as many as he could catch!

As long as his martial strength was high enough, he would hold the initiative whether he continued to defend the city or fled far away with Qingxuan!

If he just stayed inside the city, there was no way for him to improve his cultivation in a short time.

The plan was a bit reckless, but there weren't many options at the moment.

Anyway, he had already enjoyed an peerless beauty. If he died, he died; what was there to fear!!

After waiting for a while, the sound of hoofbeats came from the ground!

Cavalry was coming!!

Lin Xiao gripped his Blood-Drinking Saber and peeked out slightly, watching the approaching squad of barbarian cavalry.

Each man was tall and sturdy, riding majestic warhorses. The leader's attire was more ornate; he was clearly the boss!

[Captain Bashur, 23 years old, Northern Barbarian Cavalry Squad Leader, Aptitude: mortal grade]

[Technique: Northern Barbarian Army Saber Technique (7 years cultivation), mortal grade]

Seeing the opponent's information, Lin Xiao felt greatly reassured.

"You're the one I'm after!!"

Lin Xiao seized the moment a cavalryman passed by and suddenly lunged out of the pit!

Cavalry, once engaged in close quarters and unable to charge, actually had much less power!

"Blood Splatters Seven Feet!"

Lin Xiao slashed out, and the blood-colored saber qi directly knocked Captain Bashur and two other barbarians off their horses!

Captain Bashur died instantly, and the other two were heavily wounded!

[Ding! Kill +1, Cultivation +1]

The remaining cavalrymen were pale with fright!

They never dreamed that someone would be so audacious as to ambush a patrol route alone!?

How was this different from seeking death!?

"Hack him to death!!"

Several barbarians shouted wildly, drawing their sabers to surround and kill Lin Xiao.

But Lin Xiao's current 14 years of Blood Fiend Saber Technique cultivation was no joke!

Facing the three charging cavalrymen, he once again unleashed "Blood Splatters Seven Feet"!

Reduce their numbers first! Skills shouldn't be spared!

The chests of the three cavalrymen burst open, blood splashing everywhere!

Accompanied by bursts of screams, the three fell from their horses!

The barbarian cavalry were brave, but they never expected Lin Xiao's saber qi to be so powerful!

[Ding! Kill +3, Cultivation +3]

Lin Xiao saw that his cultivation had risen to 17 years. Feeling the increasingly surging warm current within his body, he was overjoyed!

Good heavens! In just this short moment, four years of cultivation had been added!

Coming out to intercept the barbarian patrol was indeed the right move!

Only six were left from the ten-man squad, and two were wounded; the pressure instantly decreased!

Lin Xiao lunged forward, his Blood-Drinking Saber hacking wildly left and right.

These barbarian cavalrymen were fine at riding and archery, but they were no match in close combat.

In the blink of an eye, only one was left fleeing in panic, while the others were all cut down!

Lin Xiao looked at the retreating figure and smiled coldly.

He had let the man go on purpose, because only by doing so could he quickly lure in more barbarian soldiers.

Although dangerous, this kind of fishing was always safer than charging straight into the enemy camp.

Lin Xiao glanced at his attributes:

[Lin Xiao, 20 years old, Border Stone Fortress Soldier, Aptitude: Mortal Body, mortal grade]

[Technique: Blood Fiend Saber Technique (22 years cultivation) yellow grade (Evolvable)]

[Skill 1: Blood Splatters Seven Feet]

[Skill 2: Bloodthirsty Demonic Blade (Passive: Within a short period, every kill increases the power of Blood Fiend Saber and restores a small amount of stamina!)]

[Weapon: Blood-Drinking Saber, yellow grade]

"Holy crap!!"

Lin Xiao was startled when he saw it. After reaching 22 years of cultivation, such an insane passive skill as "Bloodthirsty Demonic Blade" actually appeared!?

What surprised him even more were the several consecutive messages that followed!

[Ding! Obtained Achievement "Cultivating Since the Womb": Cultivation exceeds the host's age! (mystic grade) Prestige +50!]

[Ding! Obtained Achievement "Saber Technique Minor Mastery": Proficient in one saber technique! (mystic grade) Prestige +50!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching 100 Prestige points. The "prestige shop" is officially open!]
