"Courting death!"
"Bring me the bow!"
Prince Zhennan extended his hand, and his personal guard immediately handed him a silver bow and three steel arrows.
Drawing the bow and nocking the arrows, powerful True Essence surged into the arrow shafts, emitting a brilliant glow.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The bowstring vibrated, locking onto the figure darting towards them.
Three arrows shot simultaneously!
The arrows, crafted from refined steel, formed a triangular pattern, sealing off the intruder's escape routes, their speed reaching the pinnacle, arriving in an instant.
Lin Xiao naturally noticed the incoming arrows, their speed so extreme that even his escape routes were blocked.
However, he never intended to dodge.
Clang!
The long saber unsheathed, slicing through the arrows in an instant.
"This Prince Zhennan is no weakling!"
Feeling the force transmitted through the blade, Lin Xiao thought to himself.
Simultaneously, his speed did not decrease in the slightest, the distance to Prince Zhennan now less than three hundred meters, just two or three strides away.
"Impressive skill!"
Prince Zhennan squinted as he saw Lin Xiao deflect the arrows.
Clatter!
At this moment, seeing the figure rushing towards them, Prince Zhennan's guards surged forward, ready to kill the intruder and protect Prince Zhennan.
"The intruder is at the Spirit Transformation Realm 2nd Layer, you're no match for him, fall back!"
Prince Zhennan waved his hand, simultaneously drawing the massive battle saber from his waist.
Whoosh!
Prince Zhennan took the initiative, leaping off his warhorse, charging towards the intruder.
Both were experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm 2nd Layer, their speed incredibly fast, closing in on each other in an instant, like two fierce beasts colliding.
"Die!"
Prince Zhennan struck first, his massive battle saber slicing through the air, aiming fiercely at Lin Xiao's head.
This strike was domineering, its power immense, enough to shatter a massive boulder with a single blow.
"It's you who will die!"
Lin Xiao fearlessly dodged, his feet moving like the wind, evading the domineering strike like a phantom.
Then, he attacked.
Gale Saber Art—Gale Tempest.
Swish!
A dazzling blade light erupted, with a single slash, the sky was filled with saber energy.
An invisible Blade Force descended, making resistance seem futile.
The Gale Saber Art at the Transcendent Mastery level, its strongest move, Gale Tempest.
"Is this Blade Force? How is it possible?"
Prince Zhennan was shocked, hurriedly swinging his saber to block.
But the overwhelming saber energy, each strike as swift as the gale, elusive, even capable of striking from behind.
The invisible Blade Force chilled him to the bone, as if his blood would freeze.
In his haste, he couldn't block them all.
Splat, splat, splat, splat~~!
The sky was filled with saber energy, accompanied by a bloody storm.
Prince Zhennan's tall figure was struck by over a dozen sharp saber energies, his armor shredded, blood spraying.
"Ah!"
Prince Zhennan let out a scream, terrified, desperately trying to retreat.
He never expected his opponent to be so powerful.
As a peak expert of the Spirit Transformation Realm 2nd Layer, he had fought for decades, renowned throughout Kingdom Chu, never easily defeated by anyone of the same level.
Yet today, he was severely injured in a single move.
Whoosh~~!
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xiao saw Prince Zhennan trying to escape, and instantly struck again.
A gust of wind howled past, slicing across Prince Zhennan's neck, sending his massive head flying high.
The commander of the Blazing Flame Army, Prince Zhennan of Kingdom Chu, was slain with a single blow.
"Your Highness!"
"What?"
"The Prince has been killed!"
Countless Blazing Flame Army soldiers were in an uproar, exclamations rising.
Tens of thousands of troops, their morale shaken.
At this moment, having slain Prince Zhennan, Lin Xiao did not pause, turning to charge up the mountain.
His target was none other than the Senior Eunuch Xue Rong and the black-armored General Wu, among other experts.
Meanwhile, the Blazing Flame Army on the mountain also realized Prince Zhennan had been slain, their morale in chaos.
"How is this possible?"
General Wu in black armor, Xue Rong, and other experts were in shock.
The powerful Prince Zhennan had been slain in an instant, the hidden experts within the Azure Light Sect were terrifyingly strong?
Then, they saw the person who had slain Prince Zhennan, like a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, flying towards them.
"Not good!"
General Wu and Xue Rong were alarmed, immediately wanting to flee, but their opponents, the Grand Elder, Sect Master Zhang Yunyi, and others, launched a frenzied attack.
For a moment, they couldn't break free.
Swish!
Lin Xiao arrived, stomping heavily, his entire body soaring into the sky, leaping over the heads of hundreds, slashing down at General Wu with a forceful blow.
"No!"
General Wu was utterly terrified, the terrifying Blade Force enveloping him, rendering him immobile, unable to dodge.
In his haste, he raised his battle saber to block.
Boom!
The strike came down, like a mountain collapsing.
General Wu's entire body was cleaved in two, along with his battle saber, severed in a single blow, hot blood spurting into the sky.
Whoosh!
After slaying General Wu with a single blow, Lin Xiao barely paused, turning to attack Senior Eunuch Xue Rong.
At this moment, Xue Rong was terrified, scared out of his wits.
He no longer cared about anything else, turning to flee.
"Stop him!"
"Surround and kill him quickly!"
As he fled, he shouted, trying to get the Blazing Flame Army soldiers to block Lin Xiao.
Many soldiers indeed rushed towards Lin Xiao.
But it was useless, they couldn't even touch Lin Xiao's clothes.
Lin Xiao's speed was too fast, all they saw was a blur, leaving severed limbs and bodies in his wake.
Swish, swish, swish!
Lin Xiao swung his saber continuously, sharp saber energy shooting out over thirty meters, sweeping through everything in its path.
He moved unimpeded, carving a bloody path, catching up to Xue Rong in just two breaths.
Then, he slashed down, severing Xue Rong's head.
Afterward, Lin Xiao charged into the Blazing Flame Army, slaughtering wildly.
In an instant, the Blazing Flame Army was in chaos, their morale nearly collapsing.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat the troops!"
At this moment, a Blazing Flame Army officer shouted, his voice echoing in all directions.
The commander, Prince Zhennan, was dead!
General Wu was dead, Chief Xue Rong was dead!
An invincible enemy was rampaging through the army, unstoppable.
All of this caused the tens of thousands of Blazing Flame Army soldiers attacking the Azure Light Sect to have their morale completely collapse.
Clatter!
The Blazing Flame Army retreated like a tide, leaving behind a pile of corpses.
This battle was short-lived, but the Blazing Flame Army lost one to two hundred men.
Whoosh!
As the Blazing Flame Army retreated, Lin Xiao's figure flickered, disappearing into the nearby forest.
