Chapter 92

  When Tang Yin struck with one slash, the general did not panic and calmly responded. He raised his war knife in his hand to harden against Tang Yin's heavy sword.

  Dangdang——The general was holding Tang Yin's knife, but he and his horse were shaken out more than a meter away, and both arms were numb and painful. He secretly called out that it was fierce, the general felt that Tang Yin's cultivation was not below his own, and did not dare to have any more big ideas, hurriedly got off the horse, used all his strength, and fought with Tang Yin in one place.

  Tang Yin's every move was both swift and treacherous, while the general was no ordinary man, a seasoned veteran of many battles. The two clashed in a flurry of sword and knife, their skills evenly matched for the time being.

  The enemy was numerous, and Tang Yin didn't have time to waste with him. After exchanging more than a dozen rounds with the general, he found that his usual moves couldn't hurt the opponent, so he used his ultimate skill.

  In the heat of battle, he suddenly launched three swift and rapid slashes, striking at the commander's upper, middle, and lower routes. The latter was secretly shocked, dodging and parrying with caution. When he blocked Tang Yin's final slash, he didn't feel any force or hear any sound, as if the incoming blade was just an illusion. Just as he was bewildered and unsure, a sudden gust of wind struck from behind, aiming straight for his neck.

  He let out a low cry and reacted quickly, without thinking, he directly fell to the ground and rolled forward.

  Whoa! The scythe's blade edge almost touched his helmet as it swept by, and if he had been half a step slower, his head would have been chopped off. He steadied himself and looked back to see that Tang Yin, who was originally in front of him, had suddenly appeared behind him. What on earth was going on? For the moment, he couldn't tell either.

  Without giving him time to think, Tang Yin once again used his Shadow Drift technique. He was five or six meters away from the commander, but before anyone could see how he moved, he suddenly appeared right in front of him, his knife swinging towards the commander's temple at the same time.

  It was too fast, and also too strange, so strange that he seemed to have been standing in front of the general from the very beginning.

  This time, the commander could clearly see Tang Yin's skills, he had never seen or heard of such a move before, his face changed color in fright, no time to think carefully, he rolled over again and dodged Tang Yin's attack in disarray.

  But before he could steady himself, Tang Yin appeared at his side like a ghost, his sickle flashing down in a slanting sweep.

  The general felt Tang Yin's knife coming again, but at this time his body was still rolling and not under his control. This time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

  He can only try his best to avoid his own weaknesses and let the other side not hurt him too much.

  But he ignored the most crucial factor.

  The sickle in Tang Yin's hand did not hurt his vital parts, but only swept across his soft ribs. The sharp blade easily tore open the spiritual armor under his ribs, and at the same time, it ripped open a large gash of more than five inches on the skin and flesh below. Unfortunately, the general had no time to feel the pain before the dark fire attached to the sickle's body entered his body like a living flame snake through the wound. Alas, this brave and good warrior, Besa General, did not even have time to let out a cry, and in the blink of an eye, both he and his spiritual armor were burned by the dark fire until they were dry and still, turning into a spiritual mist.

  Ka-cha! Tang Yin held the sickle in his hand, propped it on the ground, raised his head, opened his mouth, and greedily sucked in the spiritual mist floating in the air.

  "What——the barbarian army camp was in an uproar, no one had expected that their own invincible general would lose so miserably and so quickly, and ultimately end up with a corpse without a head. Now looking at Tang Yin who was absorbing the spiritual energy in the field, the barbarian soldiers were all shocked and frightened, instinctively retreating continuously."

  With the last wisp of spiritual energy in the air sucked dry, Tang Yin let out a soft breath, feeling the spiritual energy inside his body surging and churning, which was even more powerful than before, and vaguely showing signs of breaking through the Spiritualization Realm to reach the Spiritual Origin Realm.

  Just one step away, other book friends are watching normally: ! As long as there is a little more spiritual energy, his cultivation can catch up with the original Yan Leng and reach its peak state. Tang Yin couldn't suppress the excitement and palpitations in his heart, looking at the many barbarian soldiers around him, the wild evil light in his eyes grew stronger.

  In his eyes, these barbarian soldiers were no longer human, but food that increased his cultivation and tools that helped him improve his cultivation.

  The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a sinister and eerie smile, but under the cover of his helmet, no one around him could see his expression at this moment.

  "Kill!"

  Without warning, Tang Yin suddenly let out a loud roar and swung the scythe in his hand, charging head-first into the barbarian army. The scythe danced through the air, leaving behind a trail of black light as it sliced through the darkness. The surrounding barbarians were occasionally swept away by the black flames, incinerated into spirit energy, and finally merged into Tang Yin's body, becoming a part of him.

  The barbarian army, having lost its commander, was in a state of utter chaos. The nearly two thousand barbarian soldiers were running wildly in all directions, shouting and trampling each other, creating a scene of complete pandemonium. This made it even easier for Tang Yin to slaughter them.

  As the battle intensified, he had forgotten how many barbarian soldiers he had killed and how much spiritual energy he had absorbed. In the end, the barbarian soldiers were all frightened by him, and as soon as they saw Tang Yin rushing towards them from afar, they would involuntarily retreat one after another. No matter where he rushed to, the surrounding area was always empty.

  This battle can be said to have left a deep impression on the barbarian soldiers, especially the long scythe in Tang Yin's hand, which has almost become a nightmare for the barbarian soldiers. After this battle, the barbarian soldiers and generals of the Besa City-State may not know Tang Yin, but they all remembered that there was a 'scythe of death burning with black fire' on the border of Feng Guo.

  "Brother!" The two brothers, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, suddenly appeared behind Tang Yin, shouting in unison.

  At the sound of shouting, Tang Yin's rationality, which had flown to the outer reaches of the sky, was pulled back into his body, and he gradually returned to normal. He stopped chasing after the barbarian soldiers, absorbed the scattered spiritual energy in the air, and looked around again. The remaining barbarian soldiers were already fleeing in disarray, rushing out of the town, while the over 100 cavalrymen he had brought with him were covering their retreat from behind. Even the defending troops who had been trapped in the mansion rushed out to pursue and kill the barbarian soldiers.

  Seeing that his side had already won, Tang Yin secretly let out a breath of relief and turned back to look at the Shangguan brothers.

  Seeing his true face, both brothers were shocked. Behind Tang Yin was a black spirit armor, while the front armor was stained with blood red color, and the fresh blood that had not yet dried up dripped down from the seams of the armor.

  "General, the barbarian troops have been defeated. Our two thousand reinforcements have already arrived!" Shangguan Yuanwu stepped forward and said solemnly.

  Tang Yin turned his head to take a look, and indeed, the two thousand soldiers who had marched from Biancheng were approaching the edge of the town. From afar, all he could see was the fluttering flags and the swirling dust, a truly magnificent sight.

  He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Pass on my order, pursue the enemy soldiers for ten miles, and try to capture as many alive as possible!"

  "Yes! Sir!" The two brothers, Shangguan, responded in unison, one going forward and the other backward, both leaving together.

  This battle can be said to have achieved great success, although not many barbarian soldiers were killed. Tang Yin continuously beheaded two generals of the barbarian army, which can be considered a rich harvest. More importantly, since the war with the barbarians began, no matter how big or small the battle was, the victories on the Fengguo side could be counted on one's fingers. This small victory did not weaken the strength of the barbarian army at all, but it was a great boost to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Pingyuan County.

  Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, two brothers, led the order to pursue the barbarian soldiers, while Tang Yin stayed in the town to rest.

  He shed the spiritual armor from his body, found a slightly higher platform, and slowly sat down.

  Next to him were placed two suits of armor, which were the armors of the two barbarian generals he had killed. He was going to take them back to Heng City as spoils of his first victory.

  At this time, two captains dressed as wind soldiers cautiously approached Tang Yin's side. Before they could open their mouths to speak, they were blocked by the guards surrounding him.

  Tang Yin looked at the two of them, sizing them up with a glance. He hadn't seen these two before in his impression. He waved his hand to his attendants, signaling them to retreat, and then asked: "Who are you two..."

  "We are the captains in charge of the security of Yuanwang Town. I am Xiao Mucqing and he is Jin Xin!" The captain who spoke was a young man in his twenties, wearing tattered and blood-stained leather armor. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, revealing wisdom and cunning. The other captain was about the same age, with a sturdy build and a rough appearance, holding a wide and long battle knife that seemed to be a symbol of bravery.

  Tang Yin had never seen the two men, but he had a very good impression of them. The original county's garrison had only about 300 people, and they were attacked by 2,000 barbarian soldiers, yet they still managed to survive. Their leader must have been exceptional. Moreover, if it weren't for the two of them leading their troops in a desperate defense, holding off the barbarians, it was likely that by the time Tang Yin arrived, the barbarians would have already fled without a trace. The victory in this battle was also thanks to the efforts of these two men.

  He rushed towards the two men with a smile and nodded, saying: "Two brothers have worked hard! With only three hundred people, they can stop the sneak attack of two thousand barbarian soldiers. This is not easy!"

  To be honest, the barbarian soldiers are generally taller and stronger than the Fengguo soldiers, with great combat power and bravery in battle. In a head-on confrontation, our side has no advantage at all.

  Xiao Muqing replied with a serious expression: "Sir is overpraising me, I don't dare to accept it!"

  Complimented by Tang Yin, Jin Xin looked very pleased with himself and smiled innocently, saying: "Actually, this time the barbarian army came to attack, we had expected it a long time ago, and we had already made preparations for defense. So when the barbarian army attacked, our response was also very easy!"

  "Oh?" Tang Yin was taken aback and curiously asked: "How did you know the barbarian troops would come to launch a surprise attack?"

  "This..." Jin Xin scratched his head, unsure of how to respond, and could only turn to look at Xiao Muqing beside him.

  He cursed his big mouth, Xiao Muqing said cautiously: "The barbarian army came to raid, and there were signs before. In recent days, the barbarian army has only harassed the villages around Yuanwang Town, with not many troops, and they ran away after fighting. Their main goal is to test the number of guards in Yuanwang Town and whether they have the ability to deploy troops to reinforce the raided villages. This is also a common tactic used by the barbarian army."
