Chapter 50: Slaughter of Thousands (Third Update!)

  Xia Ya stood there, the shocking blow from just now seemed to have suddenly been forgotten. He lowered his head and looked at his own hands, then looked down at the broken bodies on the ground, their blood splattered everywhere. Xia Ya's eyes were somewhat dazed...

  He was already powerless to resist, lying there, and then that pendant...

  A pendant!

  He immediately grasped the stone in front of his neck, and at this moment, the stone was no longer its previous fiery red color, but had changed back to its dull gray appearance. However, as he held it in his hand, with the skin on his palm touching the stone, he felt a faint, inexplicable sensation.

  Just now...

  What's going on?

  With one swing of his sword, all these powerful knights were defeated by themselves?!

  The fire spear was originally sharp, but it shouldn't be that sharp. The strange crimson light just now, the fire spear stabbed out, as if the opponent's armor and weapons had all turned into paper, lightly cut apart under the fire spear, with no feeling of obstruction at all.

  There were two knights who could not die for the time being, lying there and rolling over, one with half of his shoulder cut off, and the other with both legs broken at the knee.

  "You..." Himmer struggled to speak, leaning against a horse and staring intently at Xia Ya. At this moment, there were only two people left by his side. Even if the Dark Night Forest was treacherous, looking at such a terrifying scene made him gasp for breath. Only Himmer's face turned pale as he stared at Xia Ya: "What a 'Killer of Thousands'! You're cultivating Crimson Killing Intent! I didn't expect to meet an opponent who cultivates Crimson Killing Intent."

  Xia Ya was bewildered and completely did not understand what the other person meant by his words.

  He glanced at the fire fork in his hand and then looked at the corpses all over the ground. Amidst the confusion, he seemed to have guessed something vaguely.

  Especially... murderous aura?!

  Killing intent!!

  This term Xia Ya is not unfamiliar, it seems that when he was learning martial arts himself, he heard the heroic warriors in those legendary stories use magnificent aura to defeat their enemies, and he had also asked the old man about it, but the old man told him straightforwardly: "I don't know how to use aura. Any martial skill without killing intent is fake."

  "I know that when we encounter someone with a fierce and ruthless aura, no matter what, we are not their match." Shim panted, but his face was gloomy: "However, orders are orders, the mission of the Dark Night Forest is to complete orders."

  He struggled to get the horse back on its feet, and the two knights beside him exchanged a glance before abandoning the struggling wretch. The two simultaneously drew their long swords, with a look of resignation on their faces, and stepped towards Xia Ya. They had not given up the fight yet, and the two quickly pounced from left and right.

  Two swords stabbed at the same time, Xia Ya swung his fire fork to block left and right, the two knights seemed to have given up dodging and defending, and went all out on a fierce attack, using desperate moves. Xia Ya barely blocked several times, after all, he didn't know swordsmanship, the fire fork in his hand felt like it couldn't be wielded freely, and when used as an axe to chop, it was a bit small.

  What's more important is that the feeling of being possessed by a divine spirit from just now has already disappeared. At this moment, relying solely on his own reactions and strength, he fought against the two knights for a while, intentionally taking a hit on the back of his head, and as the opponent's sword was blocked by the dragon scales, Xia Ya went up with an elbow strike that crashed into the knight's chest, causing him to let out a miserable cry, his breastbone shattered, spitting blood as he fell backwards. The other one had his sword chopped off by Xia Ya's fire fork, which then dragged downwards, cutting off his wrist at the root. Xia Ya took another step forward and kicked this person to the ground.

  Xim leaned against the horse, panting, and stared coldly at Xiaya. He was severely injured, and his last subordinate had been killed by Xiaya. He didn't have any intention of escaping, and instead, he met Xiaya's gaze with a cold smile, saying: "Mission failure is equivalent to death, kill me."

  Xia Ya furrowed his brow and went up to grab Shimu, grasping his neck: "I'm asking you, what did you mean by 'breaking the killing of a thousand armies' just now?!"

  If Xia Ya didn't know what "killing aura" was, then he had heard of the phrase "Breaking Kill Thousand Armies". He had learned this term from an old man who taught him his martial skills and claimed that it was called "Breaking Kill Thousand Armies". The name sounded very impressive, but Xia Ya was skeptical for a while, thinking that the old man might have just made it up on the spot.

  Xim gazed coldly at Xia Ya: "The move that killed a thousand soldiers, of course, was the one you just used. I've practiced it too, but because I didn't cultivate the Scarlet Killing Intent, this sword technique has never been mastered by me. Last time, you sealed off all my sword paths, and I suspected you then. Indeed, you have actually practiced Breaking a Thousand Armies, and your skills are even more brilliant than mine, which is why you were able to seal off all my sword paths!"

  Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, and then a strange thought suddenly arose in her mind. She let go of her hand and threw Shim to the ground.

  Break, break and kill thousands of troops.

  Crimson murderous aura...

  A sharp and unmatched fire fork...

  And this pendant...

  Old man, old fellow? ? ?

  Was he really as great a man as he boasted of being when he was alive?

  Xia Ya suddenly felt a wave of annoyance in her heart as she looked at the corpses all over the ground and several seriously injured knights who had not died yet.

  He wasn't the first to kill, last time he met these guys, one of them shot a bow-wielding knight with a fire arrow. Growing up in the Wildfire Plains, he naturally knew the rules here, worshipping the Jungle Law, survival of the fittest. To kill or not to kill was just the difference between being weak and strong.

  Just a moment ago, in the instant when that crimson light flashed, the intense desire for slaughter that surged up in his heart made Shaya himself feel somewhat frightened. At the time, it was as if he didn't know what had happened, his thoughts were all twisted and distorted, and he only felt an intense fury in his heart, as if he wanted to tear apart everything that he could see.

  The old guy... what on earth did he teach me?!

  Shim, who was beside him, struggled to sit up, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and with a fierce glint in his eyes, stabbed at Xia's leg. Xia lifted his leg and kicked Shim over, causing him to fall to the ground gasping for breath. However, Shim burst into maniacal laughter, shouting: "Kill me! Kill me! If you don't kill me now, I'll never give up on killing you!"

  Xia Ya furrowed his brow, for him at this moment, killing the guy with a fire spear would be extremely easy, but thinking of the terrifying murderous intention in his heart just now, he suddenly had some doubts about killing people.

  " Xia Ya!! "

  The poor worm had crawled up and rushed over, pouncing onto Xia Ya's body. She tensely examined Xia Ya's body: "You, where are you hurt?!"

  Xiā yǎ lā kāi kě lián chóng: "méi shì."

  Translation:

  Xiaya said with a pitiful look: "Nothing."

  He subconsciously pinched the pendant...

  Finally, Xia Ya turned away from Keliwu and Ximu, walked to Duoduo's side: "Get up!!"

  Todor glared at Xia Ya with wide eyes, the magician's spirit was somewhat stimulated. Earlier, the situation had risen and fallen sharply. At first, Todor saw Xia Ya being knocked down and thought that this time everyone would definitely die together. But then he saw Xia Ya suddenly burst out and narrowly escape death, surviving a disaster.

  "You, aren't you a self-proclaimed magician?" Xia Ya pointed to the pendant on her neck: "Take a look at this thing, isn't it some kind of magical gadget?"

  Duoduo swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Xia Ya with trepidation: "I..."

  "Speak quickly!" Xia Ya's face sank. He had just slaughtered a group of strong enemies with ease, and now his sinking face was accompanied by an intimidating killing aura. Muluo's face turned pale as he hastily said: "Yes, this is indeed a magic gemstone, and it's a top-grade one at that! I'm guessing that this gemstone must have some extremely powerful magic infused within it... however... with my skills, I really can't identify what kind of magic it is. But judging from the quality of the gemstone itself, it's definitely top-notch, no question about it!"

  Magic Gem...

  Xia Ya nodded, as if answering a question, but the confusion in her heart grew thicker.

  "Summer." The poor insect walked up and looked at Xia Ya's solemn face, with a faint sense of unease.

  "I... want to go home for a while." Xia Ya suddenly raised his head, took a deep breath. Then his tone became heavier, repeating: "I'm going home for a while!!"

  The poor worm was stunned upon hearing this. This turtle said it wanted to go home? What did that mean?

  At this moment, suddenly from afar, a vast wilderness came a piece of urgent horseshoes sound, horseshoes sound waves, raised dust filled the sky!

  Xia Ya, Ke Lian Chong and Duo Duo Luo turned their heads at the same time to look in the distance. They saw a cavalry team galloping towards them. From the formation, these people's formation was neat and swift, and they could see from afar that under the sunlight, the armor was shining with metallic luster. It was obvious that the incoming people were a group of fully armed human cavalry!

  Xia Ya immediately turned her head to look at Him on the ground, thinking he was his companion, but unexpectedly, Him also had a stunned expression.

  That cavalry pair is clearly rushing towards here, coming with a momentum like a raging storm! In an instant, they have already approached.

  Xia Ya had originally planned to pull the poor worm onto a horse and escape, but the poor worm caught sight of a cavalry unit in the distance. The leading knight held a lance aloft with a blue flag attached to its tip.

  As soon as the poor worm saw the blue flag, his eyes lit up instantly. When the other side approached a few more steps and clearly saw the appearance of the knight in front, the poor worm immediately grabbed Xia Ya: "Don't run anymore! It's my brother's people! It's my brother's people!"

  Xim on the ground heard this and turned pale instantly.

  This cavalry unit quickly arrived in front, with more than 300 riders, all wearing light and convenient riding gear and light armor, equipped with long swords and lances. The standard attire of the Empire's elite light cavalry. After rushing to the front, they immediately divided into two teams, turning around from both sides to surround and stand guard.

  At the forefront was a knight, wearing a suit of silver armor, with an extremely elegant design. The two chest plates on his chest were adorned with beautiful patterns, and the arm guards and shoulder guards had the family crest engraved by craftsmen. The face-covering helmet also had thin shiny pieces inlaid, while the front and back of the armor's chest and shoulders were also inlaid with silver pieces, making it look dazzlingly bright.

  The knight's horse was also a rare fine steed, tall and majestic, with a snowy white coat, except for four hooves that had a hint of black.

  The knight rode up on horseback, suddenly reining in the horse with a sharp jerk, and the excellent horsemanship made the horse stand upright. He then lifted his helmet, fixed his eyes on the poor worm, and exclaimed excitedly: "God bless! You're really here, I've finally found you!!"
