Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

"Boom boom boom..."

The same massive sword strike descended once more.

This time, more than forty soldiers were not spared and were wiped out.

However, under the combined influence of money and status, these soldiers had long lost their minds and continued to rush forward regardless of their lives.

"Give me ten more swords!"

"boom!"

With another loud bang, Lin Qi drew his thirteenth sword, the sound deafening.

Another violent shockwave struck, and heart-wrenching cries echoed through the sky as yet another group of soldiers collapsed to the ground.

After the sword's momentum subsided

Lin Qi stopped and stood still, the Fire Kirin Sword in his hand slowly hanging down.

His expression remained calm and composed, his eyes fixed on the distance with a serene look.

"Run for your lives!"

His calm voice slowly drifted out, as if descending from the heavens.

The remaining two hundred or so soldiers not far away, upon hearing this, seemed to have been cursed by a nightmare.

The trembling intensified, and his will nearly collapsed.

In an instant, their minds collapsed.

"what--"

Screams and gasps erupted as the soldiers abandoned their swords and fled in all directions.

Gold, silver, wealth, official positions, and titles are all like fleeting clouds at this moment; the preciousness of life far surpasses everything else.

Especially this demon lord before them, who seemed to have come from hell, had already slain over seven hundred lives with his thirteen steps and thirteen sword strikes.

He seemed to possess an inexhaustible source of power, showing no signs of exhaustion.

Continuing the fight would undoubtedly be self-defeating.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the remaining two hundred soldiers' psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

Panic ensued, everyone just wanted to escape this hellish scene.

Get away from this terrifying presence!

Unfortunately,

These fugitives were already doomed.

Even if they choose to run away, the outcome will be the same.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yifei's face turned icy cold. In the next instant, he waved his hand and issued the order, "Kill all deserters!"

The order was relayed to the camp gate, where a thunderous shout of "Kill! Kill!" rang out, followed by a series of rapid footsteps and the clanging of weapons.

"Don't kill me—"

Then, the escaping soldiers made pleas for mercy, but in a short while, all their cries disappeared, indicating that they had all been killed.

Then, a group of elite soldiers with steady steps, imposing armor, and gleaming spears came into view. Hundreds or even thousands of them gathered together.

This place, which once held the remains of over seven hundred dead, was suddenly filled with several thousand heavily armored soldiers, once again blocking Lin Qi's path forward.

These heavily armed warriors were Bai Yifei's personal guard, the elite of his 100,000-strong army, and possessed formidable combat power.

Years of bloody battles have made them work together seamlessly and are skilled in battle formations. Now their momentum is magnificent, far exceeding that of the previous troops.

"Initiate the attack!" Bai Yifei waved his hand again, giving Lin Qi no chance to rest, and ordered the three thousand elite soldiers to launch a full-scale attack.

Unlike the previous swarm of thousands of soldiers, this elite force proceeded methodically, forming a battle formation and advancing step by step towards Lin Qi with a dense barrage of gunfire.

"Are these Bai Yifei's elite troops?"

"He does possess a certain ferocity; he seems to be no ordinary person."

Seeing this, Lin Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling curious.

Currently, he is also filled with murderous intent!

It wasn't because he was inherently cruel and bloodthirsty, but because this battle was an opportunity for him to break through his own limitations.

From the beginning until now,

With each swing of his sword, the Mingyu Gong, which he had been cultivating for a long time, circulated faster within his body.

This battle became the key opportunity for him to advance to the eighth level of Mingyu Gong and step towards the peak ninth level.

If we can use this opportunity to reach a new level, even if an army of 100,000 invades again, it will be nothing more than that.

only……

The Mingyu Gong was circulating very rapidly within the body, which led to a rapid depletion of true energy.

However, Lin Qi had his own plans and was not going to squander money recklessly.

If he depletes his true energy to seventy or eighty percent and fails to advance to the ninth level of the Mingyu Skill, he will stop his berserk behavior and switch to a normal attack mode to avoid putting himself in a fatal situation.

That's why, when the three thousand elite troops appeared before him, his eyes lit up and his face lit up with joy.

immediately,

Lynch took the initiative again and took a step forward.

"The tenth sword!"

He raised his sword and swung it, unleashing a powerful and domineering sword aura.

"boom--"

The surrounding airflow was violently compressed, causing a deafening roar.

The powerful sword energy swept across the surroundings in an instant, and none of the enemies who encountered its edge survived.

With one sword strike, dozens more fell on the battlefield.

This outcome was no different from the fate of the other thousands of soldiers; it was still incredibly tragic.

Because it is obvious: Lynch's tenth sword strike is equivalent to the power of a powerful being at the second level of the Celestial Realm.

No matter how imposing or powerful these soldiers' formation was, they were powerless to resist this attack and thus could not escape death.

At the same time, Lin Qi's internal energy was also being consumed at a considerable rate.

The only difference might be that Bai Yifei's men are indeed more courageous and fearless.

After Lin Qi killed dozens of people with a single sword strike, the remaining troops did not hesitate and continued to charge forward fearlessly.

It appears even more tenacious and unyielding than in the situations it has encountered before.

Nevertheless, Lynch would not feel sympathy or mercy because of this.

"The tenth sword!" He unleashed the move once again without hesitation.

With a loud bang, he swung the same powerful slash once again in a short time.

This scene repeats itself, with the relentless offensive seemingly never-ending.

After more than ten attacks, even Bai Yifei's subordinates began to feel panic and fear.

Those at the back of the formation began to waver.

Because Lin Qi's strength was truly astonishing, like a tireless and ruthless killing machine, the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, a truly chilling sight.

Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye observed all of this from afar, their expressions grave, revealing a sense of unease.

Bai Yifei said in a low voice, "General, if the situation continues to deteriorate, my personal guards will also suffer a mental breakdown and scatter and flee."

If the elites escape, things will get out of control.

Given their sheer numbers, preventing their escape would be virtually impossible.

More seriously, this situation could trigger a chain reaction, causing wider unrest.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye's expression turned extremely cold.

He also understood that the situation was extremely urgent.

Of particular note is that he has observed that the amount of true qi in Lin Qi's body is decreasing, and it is estimated that only about 70% remains.

"If he persists for another ten rounds, Lin Qi's internal energy should only be half of what it was before."

"If we launch a full-scale attack now, we have a great chance of annihilating him here."

"We absolutely cannot let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

After silently reciting a few words in his mind, Ji Wuye's expression became increasingly resolute, and he made a decision.

Then, his booming voice echoed across the battlefield: "Whoever kills Lin Qi will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver and promoted to a higher rank! In addition, all participants who have made meritorious contributions will be awarded 100 taels of silver! Furthermore, your family members will be treated the same as you!" To encourage the soldiers to charge to their deaths, he increased the amount of the reward to ensure that everyone could receive a share, and also promised preferential treatment for their families, further enhancing the incentive.

Immediately afterward, his gaze swept over the elite members of the Nightfall organization beside him, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "All Nightfall warriors, listen to my command!" "Infiltrate the ranks of soldiers and launch a coordinated assault, making sure to take down this guy!" Although he did not want to use the power of Nightfall, with all five of the Five Crows already dead, he had no choice but to change his strategy.

Once the elites within these organizations dwindle, Nightfall will stagnate, preventing it from gaining complete control over the entire country.

But the situation is critical and cannot be delayed.

While this tactic can maintain the soldiers' combat effectiveness for a short period, once soldiers desert, even sending in more elite troops will be futile.

In comparison, it would be wiser to launch an attack at this time.

Furthermore, the elites possess formidable combat skills and employ a variety of methods.

Weapons such as smoke, poison, and darts are ubiquitous.

If we can inflict damage on Lynch, it will greatly weaken his opponent.

Faced with Ji Wuye's orders, not a single member of the Nightfall organization dared to disobey.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~", in an instant.

Hundreds of Nightfall experts, all possessing innate or higher levels of skill, coordinated their attacks from both inside and outside the ranks.

A variety of weapons and tactics were deployed all around, with Lynch as the primary target.

Seeing this scene,

A glint of light flashed in Bai Yifei's eyes as he stared in Lin Qi's direction and said softly, "General, I have a plan." Ji Wuye frowned slightly and asked, "What plan?"

Bai Yifei shifted her gaze from Lin Qi to the red lotus behind him.

“Honglian is currently some distance from Lin Qi.”

"Perhaps we can first target Honglian and then force her to surrender." Ji Wuye fell into deep thought after hearing this.

In fact, this thought had already surfaced in his mind when Lynch pressed closer, but he did not put it into action.

First, being too close to Lynch means any attempt to get close to Honglian will be immediately detected.

With its astonishing speed, any attempt to harm Honglian is virtually impossible to succeed.

Secondly,

Even if Lin Qi successfully kidnaps Honglian as a threat, it doesn't necessarily mean he will give up resisting.

Would a man put himself in danger for a woman? Ji Wuye didn't entirely believe it!

He would never sacrifice his life for a woman, because life is only once, while women are countless.

"This method probably won't be very effective."

Ji Wuye shook his head, indicating his disagreement.

Understanding his concerns, Bai Yifei continued, "Even so, we can still give it a try."

"After all, the cost of the experiment is very low, and if it is successful, it will be a victory for us."

But then Ji Wuye's brows furrowed even deeper as he said, "The problem is that Lin Qi is incredibly strong and has keen insight. It's impossible for an ordinary person to get close to Honglian and capture her."

"To capture Honglian without her being on guard, one would need to reach at least the fifth-level Grandmaster or even the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm."
