Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Suddenly, white bones rained down, causing Fang Tiande to fall backward to the ground.

The other person coughed up blood and convulsed as if trying to stand up.

Xi Heng clicked his tongue and quickly poured all the remaining spells he had onto the other party.

As streaks of blood and claws pierced or slashed through his body, which was protected by no internal energy, Fang Tiande finally collapsed to the ground.

"How could I fall here..."

He murmured his last words with his final breath, and then his eyes lost their light.

Meanwhile, Xi Heng had also exhausted his energy, his vital energy was almost depleted, his meridians were broken, and his body was becoming increasingly weak, gradually leading to his death.

She picked up Fang Tiande's blood spirit stone again, and was about to wait for the save file to load when she glanced at her hand and froze on the spot.

"……what?"

It was obvious that because Fang Tiande had used it to activate the Blood Surge Technique, there was not much spiritual light left in this spirit stone.

"How could this be..." Xi Heng pouted, "Why would broken items drop after defeating a boss?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have needed to use Blood Surge to fight him directly; I would have just risked killing him."

"How about we save something else this time?"

She tilted her head and glanced at Fang Tiande's corpse again.

The items on the other party were indeed quite good: a set of golden general's heavy armor, and on the other side, a long-handled giant axe that looked like it was forged from meteorite iron, its entire body was black, and only the bright blade flashed with a crescent-shaped silver light, both of which were quite good treasures.

But she doesn't need it...

She couldn't fit into the general's armor at all, and with her slender frame, she couldn't even lift such a large axe.

So Xi Heng turned his gaze to the other two brocade pouches hanging at the other person's waist, reached out and untied them, and took out the contents.

"A hollow, round jade pendant..."

The words "Tianliang" are written between the dragon patterns carved on it, and there is a line of small characters carved behind it: "Seeing the jade is like seeing the marshal."

It's probably considered a token of Tianliang...

But Xi Heng wasn't interested in it.

After this battle, Tianliang will lose its leader and will inevitably become even weaker.

Once Tianliang is destroyed, this round jade pendant will be of no use.

She casually tossed it on the ground and then began searching for another, larger brocade pouch.

"A small book?"

This was a book no bigger than her palm, with the words "Three Strategies of Dunjia" written on its dark blue cover.

While she was still alive, she took a look through it and saw that it listed various military tactics and formations, with all kinds of words and pictures mixed together, which was a bit dazzling.

"This might actually be of some use..."

Although Fang Tiande was her defeated opponent, he was still a decent military commander. After raising an army in rebellion, he was able to quickly conquer most of the southeastern region of Zhao. Perhaps few could match him in the art of military command.

The military manuals that the other side always carried with them must contain many valuable lessons to be learned.

After this battle, I might enter the army to establish my authority and influence, which should come in handy then.

"I'll take this book." Xi Heng picked up the book, his vital energy almost completely depleted, and his vision was shrouded in layers of darkness.

A feeling of floating enveloped her entire body, prompting her to stand up.

When I opened my eyes again, the words "Load Save" were already displayed before me.

She glanced casually at the Fangzheng text next to her; it was no different from last time, and her mental age hadn't dropped either.

I didn't pay much attention; I was just thinking about how to accurately obtain spirit stones.

"Next time, try to cut this pouch off with sword energy, or just like when I killed Fang Tiande the first time, so that he has no chance to use the spirit stone and dies in disbelief."

"But even if you don't do it on purpose, you can eventually get it by slowly refreshing."

"Just like a boss in a game, you're not guaranteed to get the equipment you want after you die... If you accidentally let him deplete the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, then take his big axe too."

Although I don't know how to use it myself, it at least looks quite impressive, and I can keep it as a souvenir.

"Speaking of which, in less than half an hour, I have already killed four martial arts masters at the Transformation Realm."

Xi Heng previously thought that martial artists with the Transformation Realm were among the strongest in the entire Great Zhao Kingdom, and he couldn't help but admire them.

But so far, it has been discovered that even martial artists with the Transformation Realm are only slightly more difficult to defeat.

As long as I risk my life, I can kill it again and again.

The awe I once felt for martial artists who had mastered the Transformation Realm gradually dissipated.

"Among martial artists at the Transformation Realm, Fang Tiande is considered one of the stronger ones, isn't he?"

Even so, she would treat them like level bosses and kill them repeatedly.

“I’m really strong now…” Xi Heng recalled his weak and powerless appearance in his previous lives.

……

Chapter 77, The First Understanding of Sword Heart

"I'm really strong now..."

In the space shrouded in gray fog, Xi Heng, who had just killed four martial arts masters at the Transformation Realm within an hour, suddenly recalled the past for some reason.

Back then, even running just fifty or sixty meters could easily cause someone to faint.

Back then, I couldn't even beat a duck.

Now, however, he is considered one of the few strong individuals in the entire Great Zhao Kingdom.

Once completely out of reach, and even a glimpse of a Transformation Realm martial artist was a luxury, they can now be repeatedly killed.

Fang Tiande, the Grand Marshal of the Tianliang Army, who has always existed only in the village storytellers' tales, was nothing more than a defeated general...

She came to her senses and quietly sat cross-legged to relax her mind.

Sitting cross-legged wasn't comfortable enough, so Xi Heng lay down on the ground, his half-closed eyes gazing at the hazy sky above.

This space is gray no matter which way you look, up, down, left, or right.

The ground wasn't hard, nor was it soft; it just had a feeling of being supported by water, which was quite comfortable.

There was no temperature in this space; as you relaxed and rested, your eyes slowly closed.

After a while, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

She wasn't sure if she had fallen asleep or not; it seemed like she had only rested for a few minutes, but it also seemed like she had slept all day.

Xi Heng didn't think much of it. It seemed that there was no concept of time in this space, so it didn't matter what.

After covering his lips and yawning slightly, his tense mind, which had been focused on the previous battles, finally relaxed.

"It's time to continue."

She spoke softly, then stood up and returned to the words "read the save file".

"This save file is meant to hone my sword intent to the next level, although I don't yet know what it will look like if I advance my sword intent to the next level..."

In fact, the "Heluo Fish and Dragon Sword Technique" that she had memorized also contained some descriptions of a deeper level of sword intent.

However, this book is difficult to understand, and it uses a lot of incomprehensible coded language.

Xi Heng pondered it over and over again, but still couldn't fully grasp its meaning.

For example, some of the code words are:

'Inner strength lies in spirit, outward appearance in composure; though seemingly delicate, one's power is as fierce as a tiger; one's form is arranged according to the prevailing energy, moving in harmony with the spirit…'

'The intent of the sword should be cold and still; by transcending worldly concerns and observing the subtle, one can reach the realm of the divine.'

While these words may seem to convey a superficial meaning at first glance, upon deeper reflection, one always feels that their understanding might be incorrect, and that they might have missed certain meanings of the words.

In the cultivation of mental techniques, a difference of just one word can lead to vastly different actual effects.

"Why can't it be written in a more accessible and understandable way?"

Xi Heng clicked his tongue and casually imagined what would happen in the future: "When I become emperor, I will definitely promote vernacular Chinese."

However, it will probably be a long time before he returns to the throne.

"Let's focus on our immediate goals first."

Xi Heng took a few deep breaths and pressed load again.

Click on the second picture to enter the battlefield.

As layers of gloom enveloped my vision, and after a familiar yet strange sensation, I heard the fluttering of flags and the roar of flames.

In the familiar scene ahead, the generals of Zhao and the people of Tianliang gathered together, gripping their weapons and gazing at each other from afar.

"Zhao Wanli, you're not behind the city wall..."

"So annoying."

Xi Heng pressed his temples.

There's an unskippable cutscene before every battle... If this were any game, it would definitely get a lot of flak from players for it.

However, Xi Heng did not have enough strength to rush forward with his sword to interrupt the enemy, so he could only helplessly divert his attention.

In a secluded corner unnoticed, she quietly retrieved the "Three Strategies of Dunjia" from her inventory, a copy she had kept from her previous life. By the light of the flames burning on the massive battering rams behind her, she silently read it:

"A general who understands warfare knows the principles of movement and stillness perfectly, and their actions are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. He who can adapt to the enemy's changes and achieve victory is called a good general..."

Xi Heng had just turned a few pages when Fang Tiande landed on the ground with his axe in front of him.

"I'll see later." She put the book away and took out a longsword from her inventory.

The girl held two swords, ready to face the enemy generals who charged at her in various stances.

Once the two generals began their close-quarters combat, she ran to the side to see an old acquaintance.

Based on his previous experience, he first killed the ascetic monk in two moves, then spun around and slashed with his sword, cutting the abdomen of the nearby Dark Force Swordsman.

After easily killing the two men as if following a procedure, Xi Heng then rushed towards the place where the two generals were clashing.

This time, she didn't deliberately seek out acquaintances to kill; instead, she went wherever her mind led her.

This group of martial arts masters, whose strengths varied, posed no threat to her.

In his previous life, Xi Heng killed thirteen Dark Force cultivators; in this life, that number has increased to nineteen.

If her rating for this stage was B, she'll definitely get an A this time—she even had time to think about these things while drawing her sword to kill.

Once his internal energy was exhausted, Xi Heng skillfully performed finger movements and placed the Blood Spirit Stone between his eyebrows. After using the Heavenly Demon Transformation, he immediately plunged the sword into his abdomen to further amplify the Bloodline Restriction Technique.

Giving up, he continued to attack the other hidden forces around him.

With strength comparable to that of a Transformation Realm expert after using the Bloodline Forbidden Technique, coupled with familiarity with enemy generals and unparalleled experience in life-or-death battles, killing some rebel generals is a piece of cake.

A streak of blood flashed by, unleashing a storm of carnage.

Even if the enemies are well-known martial arts masters with hidden strength, they cannot survive three moves under her sword.

Within two moves, the enemy's head would fly off, tossed high into the air with blood gushing from his neck.

As heads flew up and fell, she hadn't finished the battle, but her flamboyant behavior caught Fang Tiande's eye, who hurled a spinning giant axe at her—

Xi Heng's eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward, using a similar move to the previous one. In the instant Fang Tiande fell to the ground and pulled out his giant axe, he slashed out with a cross of sword energy behind the enemy.

"Hmm?" The enemy general deflected the sword energy with a burst of internal force, turned around, and frowned.

"Have you ever faced the Gengjin Axe Technique?"

Xi Heng had nothing to say to his defeated opponent, only making a stance, his eyes gleaming with a scarlet light.

Since the other party has withdrawn from the battle with Zhao Wanli and has come looking for him first, he will not kill the other master of the Transformation Realm first.

Let's have the final battle right here.

The girl twirled her twin swords and held them in front of her, her steps shattering the ground as she charged towards her formidable enemy.

Fang Tiande roared, raised his giant axe, and slammed it down with a powerful gust of wind.

Clang——
