Martial Hero Rebirth

“Phantom Blade, we have counted our casualties,” said one of the Blood Saber elders. “Nineteen experts at the peak of the first class, another one hundred and three with different numbers of external meridians, four hundred and thirty-two experts of the second class, and even more third – due to the fire, their bodies are so disfigured that they and the experts without inner strength cannot be counted.”

The Phantom Blade gritted his teeth and struck the ground with his saber in rage..

«Boo-um!»

The soil heaved and burst, a deep ravine appeared, ten meters long. Pure inner strength struck like lightning, covering everything around him with cracks..

Elder Blood Saber twitched in fear and exclaimed:

“Please big brother calm down!”

“Calm down?! How can I calm down?! Hundreds of ours died, but we didn’t kill a single one! Are you calm after this??!”

The roar mixed with inner strength knocked the ground out from under his feet. The expert at the peak of the first class fell to the ground, paralyzed with fear.

“Hmph,” Phantom Blade snorted, annoyed at how spineless the experts were on their side. The righteous youth with three meridians walked around them all by a few steps. “Bring it in writing, I need to report to the supreme experts.”

Phantom Blade, meanwhile, gave orders to the others:

“Rebuild frontline troops as soon as possible. Have all the demi-supremes now defend the camps, two each, one on patrol. When the masters arrive, let them go wherever they want, but if they leave their posts earlier, I will personally cut off their heads! Clear?!”

“That’s right, Phantom Blade!” the subordinates around nodded nervously.

“Hmph,” he snorted, sheathing his saber and returning to his tent..

In a small city about two hundred miles from Kaifeng, on the estate of the city lord, the four pillars of the demon army gathered at one table. With faces as gloomy as clouds, they listened to the report of the Phantom Blade.

“Okay, wait. I understand correctly that our army lost nineteen experts at the peak of the first class, more than a hundred at various levels of strength, and four hundred experts of the second. While the righteous retreated without loss.”

Han Lenxuan said this with words colder than ice..

“That’s right, Purple Dragon King!” bowed the Phantom Blade.

The air around began to get colder, frost crawled across the floor and walls..

“What were you semi-supreme experts doing at this time?” he asked just as calmly, but on the verge of screaming. “What excuse do you have for the fact that almost the entire vanguard of my army was destroyed before the camp was set up??”

“Everything happened too unexpectedly! The officers relaxed and were in no hurry to set up defensive structures; they didn’t even post sentries. For the first time, the righteous decided to counterattack us head-on, especially on such a scale. Oh, yes, and it was not a Shaolin monk who led them into battle, but Lin Yi, known as the Sword God of the Five Mountain Swords.”

“Sword God?!” roared the Purple Dragon King, clenching his fingers until they crunched. “That bastard again! How long will he continue to cross our path?! I thought he stayed on Alliance territory, but instead the degenerate led the entire righteous army?! Well, okay, since he decided to join in the fun, I'll personally make sure he leaves the game feet first.!”

“Don't worry, Dragon King, the next time we meet, I will definitely cut off his head and bring it to you.!”

“I hope so,” Han Lenxuan growled, motioning for him to leave. “Apparently the meeting of Shaolin heroes was not in vain.”

“They were just lucky,” said Ouyang Jin, owner of the White Camel Villa. “Many circumstances played in their favor, but nothing. The advantage is still ours - these are insignificant losses compared to how many they have already lost. In any case, the war will drag on and fall on the shoulders of our younger generation, so it’s partly good that their young heroes have already shown everything they are capable of.”

“I agree with that,” nodded the Gatekeeper of the Bloody Saber..

“I support,” agreed the Master of the Sacred Cult.

Han Lenxuan said with a gloomy expression.:

“Then let our younger generation show itself.”

Three days have passed since the night raid. All this time, Lin Yi did not leave his room, directing all his efforts to treating his injuries..

Fortunately, the Violet Mist Divine Skill was quite a versatile technique and was quite good at dealing with internal damage. In just three days he was completely cured.

Of course, it could have been much worse. He was only hit by the shock wave, but even if he had survived the blow of the Phantom Blade, he clearly would not have been able to escape on his own feet.

This battle haunted his nightmares. Back then, he was truly on the verge of death, and if only the Phantom Blade had accepted him as a worthy opponent, everything would have ended very badly.

However, purely theoretically, Linbo’s Move Set at the current level gave him almost vulnerability even against such strong opponents. So, by dragging out the fight and catching a chance or two, he could have won.

But this is only theoretical. One mistake and death would have awaited him, while the Phantom Blade even covered his mistake with the difference in strength.

Well, at least everything ended well. I still couldn’t count on a long duel, with a dozen more semi-supreme experts running behind me..

However, if given such a chance... Lin Yi would like to fight him. He was just wondering if he was already capable of defeating one of the strongest pre-supreme level experts at his current level of strength.

Besides, how can fights with those weaker than you be interesting? Only someone with whom one mistake is worth death makes you surpass yourself and become even better..

It’s hard to imagine how many experience points they’ll give for it.!

Probably no less than what he earned that entire night - namely, forty-two million!

Now he had enough experience for the fourth meridian. And now there was nothing more important than getting to the peak of first class.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi spent the experience on the next meridian.

Once again, the system took control of the body and turned the entire lives of the twenty-one experts it killed that night into a stream of heat, allowing it to break through the barrier to the fourth meridian.

Inner strength spread throughout his body with the warm breath of spring, his lungs let in a deep breath of air..

The fourth meridian was open before he had time to get used to the third.

Simultaneously with the system signal, control over the body returned to him.

Halfway done, only four more meridians left!

Perhaps just one killed semi-supreme expert at the level of the Phantom Blade will be enough to ascend to the peak!

.˙.

While Lin Yi was studying his new power, an eerie, piercing voice was heard outside the city walls, from which the body was covered with goosebumps.:

“Righteous boys and boys! Come out, come out! Don't keep yours truly waiting!”
