The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

The setting sun, like blood, stained the rolling mountains with an ominous crimson. Zhao Kang, the rebel commander known as "Mountain Demon," stood at the entrance of a hidden cave, his hawk-like gaze sharply sweeping across the narrow strip of land below, known as "Valley of Death." The valley was utterly silent, save for the mournful whistling of the wind whistling through the jagged rocks, as if softly chanting a dirge for the impending carnage.

“Lin Xue… ‘Night Shadow’…and that damned ‘Night Owl Guard’…” Zhao Kang muttered these names under his breath, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred. Ever since Lin Xue and her special forces rose to power, his path of rebellion had been repeatedly thwarted. They were like ghosts, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, striking with precision, destroying several of his important strongholds and killing several of his generals. The crushing defeat at Yixiantian further weakened him, making him realize that if this force was not eliminated, his imperial dream would never be realized.

"General, everything is ready," a guard reported in a low voice, a hint of tension barely perceptible in his tone.

Zhao Kang nodded slowly, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth: "Very well. Doesn't Lin Xue like being the blade of the night? Today, I will make that blade of hers fall in this Valley of Despair, never to be reincarnated! Issue my order: all teams must remain at their posts. Without my command, not even a bird flying by is allowed to move!"

The valley he chose was the only route Lin Xue and her group could take to reach the next rebel stronghold. The valley entrance was wide and seemingly easy, but in reality, it was fraught with danger. Steep cliffs lined both sides, their rocks loose and prone to collapse. Deep within the valley, he had meticulously prepared a deadly trap.

Several days later, a highly skilled team appeared at the entrance of Deadly Valley. It was Lin Xue's "Night Shadow" squad, along with some elite "Night Owl Guards," totaling over two hundred people. They had received intelligence that an important rebel messenger would be passing through the area, tasked with delivering top-secret information about the main rebel force's movements. Lin Xue understood the importance of this battle and personally led the team, striving for a decisive victory to intercept the intelligence.

Lin Xue, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, had a cold and stern face, her eyes sharp as an eagle's. She reined in her horse and stopped at the mouth of the valley, her brows slightly furrowed. The silence of the valley made her uneasy, and a faint scent of blood and dust filled the air.

"Captain, is there a situation?" the Nightshade team member beside him asked in a low voice.

Lin Xue didn't answer immediately. She carefully observed the mountain walls on both sides and the ground in the valley. Years of combat experience made her sense danger. "Everyone be careful, slow down, and stay alert. Aman, take two people and go ahead to scout."

Ah Man, who was singled out, was one of the team's most experienced scouts. After receiving the order, he led two team members and sneaked in like raccoons.

However, Zhao Kang's arrangement was extremely well-hidden. Aman and the others cautiously advanced several hundred meters, and apart from the occasional tumbling pebbles, they found nothing unusual. They reported, "Captain, the area ahead appears safe; no obvious ambushes have been detected."

Lin Xue hesitated for a moment, her unease still lingering. But the military situation was urgent, leaving her no time for further hesitation. "All troops, maintain battle formation and proceed quickly! Watch out for the mountain walls on both sides!"

Upon receiving the order, over two hundred "Night Owl Guards" and "Night Shadows" members quickly deployed, forming a defensive formation, and began rapidly moving into the valley. The sounds of hooves and footsteps echoed through the valley, breaking the previous silence.

Just as most of the team entered the valley, and the vanguard was about to reach the "death line" set by Zhao Kang—

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

A piercing scream, like a call from hell, suddenly rang out from both sides of the mountain wall!

In an instant, countless dark figures suddenly emerged from the previously empty mountainside! Then, a dense rain of arrows poured down! These were not ordinary arrows; they included powerful crossbow bolts, their tips gleaming with a ghostly blue light, clearly coated with deadly poison!

"Enemy attack!!! Defend!!!" Lin Xue shouted sharply, drawing her longsword and creating an impenetrable sword screen to block the arrows aimed at her.

The Night Owl Guards and Night Shadows reacted swiftly, quickly forming a circular formation with shield bearers in front and archers behind, launching a fierce counterattack. Arrows crisscrossed in the air, whistling as they cut through the air.

However, the rebels held an absolute advantage in terrain and outnumbered Lin Xue's forces. Wave after wave of arrows rained down, and members of the "Night Owl Guard" fell to the ground, their screams echoing through the valley.

"Captain! We've fallen into a trap! It's a snare!" a team member roared.

Lin Xue's eyes narrowed; she knew it was too late to retreat. "Hold on! Don't panic! Concentrate fire and suppress the archers on the left side of the mountain!"

However, Zhao Kang's killing move had only just begun.

"push!!!"

At another command, the boulders and logs that had been prepared on both sides of the mountain wall, like angry beasts, tumbled down with the force of thunder! Each of these boulders and logs weighed hundreds of kilograms and roared down the steep mountain wall with unstoppable force!

"Get out of the way!!!"

Lin Xue's eyes widened in horror as she watched several team members, unable to dodge in time, being crushed into a bloody pulp by the boulders. Blood and entrails splattered across the valley, a gruesome sight. The team's formation was completely disrupted by the sudden tumbling of rocks and logs, and casualties increased dramatically.

Even more terrifying, deep within the valley, the ground suddenly collapsed! Several team members who were running to avoid the rolling rocks were caught off guard and instantly fell into a bottomless pit. The bottom of the pit was filled with sharp bamboo skewers and iron spikes, and screams came from the bottom of the pit, but soon fell silent.

"Ballista! Fire!"

Zhao Kang's voice rang out again, filled with a frenzied joy. Deep within the valley, several disguised heavy crossbow carts suddenly appeared, their massive bolts, like javelins, whistling through the air as they hurtled towards the chaotic crowd!

"Pfft!"

A giant crossbow bolt pierced through two Night Owl Guard members who were defending with their shields raised, pinning them to the ground along with their shields! The immense impact caused those around to pale in shock.

Lin Xue's heart was bleeding. She watched her sisters and comrades fall one by one, watching this elite force she had personally built and placed her hopes on suffer unprecedented damage. She knew they were trapped in a meticulously planned deadly trap.

"Lin Xue! You really came!" Zhao Kang's voice echoed on the mountainside, filled with smugness and mockery. "Today is your death day! If you know what's good for you, lay down your weapons and surrender, and this general might spare the lives of your men!"

Lin Xue roared to the sky, her voice filled with grief, indignation, and determination: "Zhao Kang! You traitor! Don't even think about it! Sisters, warriors of the Night Owl Guard, we are the sharp blade protecting our homeland, we would rather die than surrender! Follow me and fight our way out! Our target: the valley entrance!"

She brandished her longsword and led the charge towards the valley entrance. The sword flashed, each strike carrying an unstoppable momentum, deflecting the incoming arrows. Inspired by her courage, the remaining members of her team rallied around her, launching a desperate assault on the valley entrance.

However, Zhao Kang had already laid a trap. From the direction of the valley entrance, a large number of rebel soldiers poured out, wielding long spears and large shields, forming a solid defensive line. They were blocked in front, pursued from behind, and constantly bombarded by arrows and stones from the mountain walls on both sides.

The battle intensified. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens. Lin Xue led the charge, her sword flashing like a dragon, slaying one rebel soldier after another, but the enemy was simply too numerous. An arrow struck her shoulder, and a sharp pain shot through her, but she gritted her teeth and did not flinch.

"Protect the captain!" Several Night Shadow members desperately shielded Lin Xue, forming a bloody barrier with their bodies. They swung their weapons incessantly, inflicting new wounds on their bodies, until finally, exhausted, they collapsed.

"No—!" Lin Xue's eyes widened in horror, filled with grief and indignation.

Just then, a huge boulder rolled down the mountainside with destructive force, hurtling towards Lin Xue's location! Its speed was so great that there was no way to avoid it!

A heavily wounded Night Owl Guard centurion used his last bit of strength to shove Lin Xue away!

"Captain, survive..."

"boom--!"

The boulder landed, raising a cloud of dust. The centurion's figure had completely vanished beneath it.

Lin Xue was pushed and stumbled, turning around to see this horrific scene. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, but she had no time to grieve.

"call out--!"

A poisoned crossbow bolt, like a venomous snake, shot from a tricky angle, aiming precisely at her back!

Lin Xue sensed the danger and tried to turn around to block, but because she had been pushed earlier, she was unsteady and her movements were a fraction of a second slower.

"Pfft!"

The crossbow bolt pierced deeply into her back, and intense pain instantly spread throughout her body, followed by a rapid numbness. Her body stiffened, and she slowly lowered her head, looking at the arrowhead protruding from her chest. Blood gushed out, staining her clothes and the ground beneath her feet.

Her eyes were filled with despair and resentment, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but could only utter a weak sound.

"team leader!"

"Lin Xue!"

The remaining team members cried out in alarm as they tried to rush to her rescue, but were blocked by enemy arrows.

Lin Xue felt her strength rapidly draining away, her vision blurring. She seemed to see the afterglow of victory at Yixiantian, the familiar smiling faces of her sisters, the peace of their homeland, the dawn of a world at peace…

"I...can't...fall down..." she murmured to herself, her grip on the longsword slipping from her hand as it clattered to the ground.

She tried to stand up straight, but the poison and blood loss made her unable to hold on any longer, and she slowly fell backward.

On the cliff face, Zhao Kang witnessed this scene firsthand. He trembled with excitement, drew his sword from his waist, pointed it to the sky, and roared in triumph: "Lin Xue is dead! The rebels will surely win! Hahaha! Kill! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

At his command, the enemy surged forward like a tide, their faces contorted with rage and cruelty.

Lin Xue lay on the ground, her body still twitching slightly. Her eyes remained open, as if searching for something.

An enemy slowly approached her, raising his knife, ready to deliver the final blow. Lin Xue mustered her last strength and raised her hand, trying to stop him.

However, her movements had become so sluggish that the enemy easily dodged her hand and then slashed down hard.

"puff!"

The incredibly sharp broadsword mercilessly cleaved down onto Lin Xue's fair and delicate neck, and in an instant, a stream of scarlet, scalding blood gushed out like a fountain!

Lin Xue's delicate body trembled violently as if struck by a heavy hammer. With a muffled "thud," her beautiful head was forcibly separated from her body! Surprisingly, despite enduring such horrific torture, an indescribable look of relief appeared in Lin Xue's previously wide-open eyes…

But the ruthless enemy seemed unwilling to stop there. He brandished his blade and began to lash out wildly at the lifeless Lin Xue once more! One strike, two strikes, three strikes… each strike, imbued with a chilling ferocity, slashed viciously at Lin Xue's mangled body until she was covered in blood and could no longer move an inch. At this moment, Lin Xue's once long and straight legs finally stopped twitching completely. A thin, steaming liquid slowly flowed down between her legs, filling the air with a pungent, foul stench.

Lin Xue's death devastated the remaining team members. They knew the battle was hopeless, but they refused to give up and continued to fight the enemy to the death.

The setting sun was like blood, the afterglow like fire, its last rays piercing through the deep, narrow valley, as if draping the entire world in a dark red veil. And amidst this crimson hue, a petite figure lay silently on the ground, as poignant and beautiful as a withered flower.

That was Lin Xue! She had already lost her life, but a trace of determination and resolve remained on her face. The sunlight shone on her, turning her originally snow-white skin into a dazzling golden yellow, as if telling the story of the countless hardships and sufferings she had endured.

However, not far from her, a gleaming dagger lay there all alone—the very "Dark Blade" that Lin Xue gripped tightly in her hand. Though incredibly sharp and capable of cutting through iron like mud, it proved powerless against the dense, profound darkness before her…

In the Valley of Death, the sounds of battle gradually subsided, leaving only corpses and blood everywhere, and Zhao Kang's nauseating maniacal laughter. The road to quelling the rebellion became even longer and more arduous with the fall of this star general. And the legend of "Night Shadow" and "Night Owl Guard" seemed to have come to a bloody end at this moment.

However, Zhao Kang was unaware that the spark of hope sometimes does not die out easily. In corners he could not see, perhaps there were still survivors, carrying Lin Xue's last will, waiting for the day of revenge and resurgence. But at least for this moment, Death Valley was filled only with despair and deathly silence.
