Chapter Fourteen: The Lone Killer of a Thousand Men

  "Kill, kill, kill!" Cold Xueyang's mind was filled with scenes of slaughter, as if he had entered a state of madness. He continuously swung the small sword in his hand, and the corpses of the beast soldiers fell one by one at his feet.

  The war drums sounded again, the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield had already reached the final stage of their fierce battle, and it was now clear who would win or lose. The leaders of both sides once again sent in tens of thousands of troops to join the fray.

  In the narrow catapult, Gao Tian and others saw that Xiang Zixuan had opened his eyes, and they all called out: "Captain, how are you?"

  "How did I end up here?" Han Zixu shook his head, feeling as if he had fallen apart from head to toe, unable to muster any strength, let alone fight.

  "It was Xiao Yao who helped me in and applied medicine." Wang Liehuo, who had walked in on his own, responded.

  "Xiaoyao?" He scanned the faces in front of him, suddenly realizing that Xiaoyao was not among them. His face immediately showed a hint of anxiety as he asked: "How long have I slept? Where is Xiaoyao?"

  "Captain, you've been unconscious for almost half an hour. Xiao Yao is still outside fighting the enemy." When Gao Yi Tian mentioned that Xiao Yao was still outside fighting the enemy, a hint of admiration appeared on his face.

  Xing Zixue's face turned red with anger as he shouted at the crowd, "What nonsense are you people spouting?! You think Xiao Yao is some kind of Sword Saint? Even if he were, there's a limit to his energy! Are you all just going to stand by and watch him die on the battlefield?! What's wrong with you people?!"

  After scolding, he struggled to get up on his knees and said: "You guys move aside, let me go out to help Xiao Yao. If anything happens to him, don't call me captain again."

  Everyone was scolded by the sentence "self-study" and lowered their heads, except for Gao Yitian, who was on the outermost side of the catapult. He didn't lower his head, but instead showed a brief stunned expression on his face. After being stunned, Gao Yitian quickly opened his mouth to explain: "Captain, it's not like that, it's..."

  "Cut the nonsense! If there's still someone among you who can fight, follow me out to battle!" Xue Feng interrupted Gao Tian's words.

  When the first-year students saw their captain's angry appearance, they had been in contact with him for two or three years and understood his temper. So they spoke up: "Everyone move aside! Let the captain come out and take a look, then you'll understand."

  He squeezed out of the pile of partners with great difficulty, and when he squeezed to the periphery of the catapult, his anxious eyes swept across the battlefield, and he was stunned.

  Only a meter away from the catapult, there were piles of beastmen corpses outside, several meters high. On top of the beastmen's corpses stood a figure that was extremely familiar to him - Cold Blooded. At this moment, Cold Blooded was constantly killing the beast soldiers who climbed up the corpses, and one by one, the beast soldiers' corpses rolled down.

  "Damn it, is this Xiao Yao still human?" Han Zixu couldn't help but blurt out a curse. In his estimation, just this pile of corpses alone was at least in the hundreds, and possibly even over a thousand. Yet, from what he saw of Xiao Yao's movements, there wasn't a single hint of fatigue.

  "Captain, you now understand why we didn't want to help out, right? We can't even help ourselves!" Gao Tian said with a tone of grievance towards Xing Ziyue.

  The leopard's face had already turned iron-green with rage, and yet a thousand-man team went up, but hadn't even taken down one enemy. That little brat was too strange! He single-handedly slaughtered a thousand people, and it seemed like he hadn't even used his full strength. It was eerie, as if this kid wasn't the Sword God or something.

  "Niu Mang, you take him up, and make sure to eliminate this person." The fierce leopard gave the order to a cow-headed man beside him.

  "Yes, General."

  "Kill!" Again, a thousand-man troop rushed towards the direction where Leng Xiang was.

  At this moment, he stood tall and looked far, seeing thousands of people rushing towards him, but there was not a hint of fear on his face. On the contrary, he showed a hint of excitement, and in his heart, he kept repeating: "Come on! Come faster! The more the better."

  At this moment, if there were people with high cultivation here, they would see that Leng Xiao has become different from his original self. At this moment, Leng Xiao's **has been gradually changing. Several times, the wounds left on Leng Xiao by the beast soldiers have completely healed in a short period of time, and not even a scar is left behind.

  On the high city wall of Humen, Shi Hu led the generals of the Manton Army to observe the battle, carefully watching every move on the battlefield.

  Lin Wenbin was a deputy officer, so he didn't understand some strategic things. Feeling bored, he looked around and suddenly stared at the left side of the battlefield. He carefully observed and shouted: "General! General!"

  "What's the matter?" Shi Hu's tone was reproachful, as he had been discussing this year's battle plan with several of his favorite generals just now, and suddenly someone interrupted him, so naturally he wouldn't be in a good mood.

  "Look over there." Lin Wenbin pointed to the Cold Blood Battlefield.

  "Ah!" Originally, the stone tiger had a hint of dissatisfaction on his face as he looked in the direction Lin Wenbin was pointing. Suddenly, a brief look of surprise appeared on his face, and then his entire face turned white with a swoosh. As a high-level swordsman, how could he not see clearly that the figure was actually his old commander's entrusted grandson, Cold Xiao Yao?

  "My goodness! How did you little rascal end up outside the battlefield? If anything happens to you, General Yuan will have my head chopped off!" Shi Hu suddenly became anxious, pacing back and forth on the stone wall with a worried look. If he were to send troops out to support Leng Xiao at this moment, it's likely that the Beastmen would intervene as well, at least sending out corresponding troops to respond. But if no one is sent, can that little rascal really hold his own against thousands of enemies?

  "General, what's wrong?" Several generals beside Shi Hu asked in unison, because in their impression, their general had never been so intimidated even when facing thousands of soldiers alone, how could he show such an appearance today?

  "Look over there." Lin Wenbin pointed at the Xiangyang battlefield, addressing several generals.

  Several generals turned their attention to the outer periphery of the battlefield, because from the start of the battle until now, they had all been focused on the battlefield in front of them. Who would have thought that someone in their own army would leave the battlefield? At this moment, everyone looked away and watched for a while, each taking a cold breath. Is this kid human or divine? He's actually fighting alone against thousands of people! No matter what the final outcome will be, just this bravery has already made these generals surrender.

  "This isn't right, this kid is a bit suspicious!" A general suddenly spoke up.

  "What about the two tigers?" Shi Hu asked anxiously.

  "General, take a look at his movements. Don't you feel that this kid seems to be able to see through everyone's weaknesses? Every time he swings his sword, it's fatal. And looking at him, he doesn't seem like someone with internal energy. Moreover, those beast soldiers are at least low-level warriors, right? To be killed so easily by someone, isn't that strange?" The general who was called over by Shi Hu explained to Er Hu, his face revealing a shocked expression.

  Shi Hu, after listening to his subordinate's words, carefully observed the battlefield for a moment. His originally anxious face gradually calmed down, and finally, a mixture of surprise, confusion, and puzzlement appeared on his face.

  The man on the periphery of the catapult was also lost in thought at this moment, his eyes never leaving Leng Xue's body from the moment he moved from the innermost part to the outermost part of the catapult. His mind kept replaying Leng Xue's killing moves, finally converging together.

  "Boom!" Xingzi felt a loud rumbling sound in his mind, and the next moment, he felt the aura inside him surge up violently. The next moment, he felt an enormous power coursing through his body, far surpassing his original strength by an unknown magnitude.

  "Breakthrough?" Han's face revealed a look of surprise, he hadn't expected that by watching Xiao Yao's movements earlier, his own cultivation would break through, advancing from an elementary swordsman to an intermediate swordsman.

  "Captain, did you break through?" The first to speak up was Gao Tianlei, who had been standing beside Lin Xuan and felt the change in his aura.

  Xing Zi Xue's face showed surprise as he said, "Alright, you few stay here, I'll go help Xiao Yao."

  "Yes, Captain." Gao Tian and others hastily responded, with a tone of surprise in their voices.

  "Watch carefully as I kill with ease, it may be beneficial to you, remember." He also instructed his partners when he left.
