Ultimate Path to Heaven

Chapter 33 Instant Kill



Chapter 33 Instant Kill

Whoosh!

As the arrow hurtled toward his brow, Xiao Jin neither dodged nor flinched... No one noticed this, but just a second before the arrow was about to hit his brow, he raised his hand and caught it firmly.

In an instant, Xiao Jin flipped his hand and fired an arrow at the Iron Slaughter Guard leader who had just thrown Du Chun's corpse away. He used his bare hand, with all his strength at 100, to shoot the arrow at the leader...

At a distance of several dozen meters, the leader's pupils appeared infinitely larger in Xiao Jin's eyes, like a bullseye right at his feet.

Whoosh!

The leader who had just thrown Du Chun's corpse away hadn't even turned back to the formation when the color drained from his face. Every muscle on his face was stiff and contorted with extreme horror. His mouth opened unconsciously, but he couldn't even squeeze out a breath.

Pfft!

No one could see what it was, for the arrow was too fast. It passed right through the leader's eye without stopping, as if nothing had happened, and the leader was still on horseback, holding the spear he had once been so proud of.

Knowing that the leader was dead, Ye Bufan didn't hesitate. He leaped forward, abandoned his horse, and the instant he landed, he swung his sword straight at the cavalry formation. It was as if the gaps in the shields and the flaws in the spears were all visible to Ye Bufan.

Bang!

Following closely behind, Xiao Jin, still at full strength (100%), delivered a powerful punch to the leader, sending the corpse hurtling towards the cavalry ranks like a cannonball...

Bang!

The defensive shield array, which had already been breached by Ye Bufan, collapsed instantly upon the arrival of this "cannonball," terrifying the Iron Slaughter Guards to death!

Their leader, the strongest sixth-rank warrior, was actually blasted into such a state by a single punch from the boy who seemed like a god of death.

Not only that, the defensive shield array, which had always been full of confidence and believed to be indestructible, turned out to be as fragile as paper.

What's even more shocking is that the only ones who broke through this fifty-layered armored cavalry formation were two people—just how strong were they?

Terrified, the Iron Slaughter Guards dared not fight any longer and immediately fled in all directions...

At this moment, the Blood Guards, who had already attacked from both sides, met the fleeing Iron Slaughter Guards head-on and instantly killed more than ten of them. Each of them was unwilling to be at a disadvantage, fearing that some Iron Slaughter Guards might escape from somewhere.

Most of the Blood Guards were seventh-rank, and they were like chickens being slaughtered when faced with these scattered and fleeing Iron Slaughter Guards!

As a ninth-rank expert, Ye Bufan's speed in a direct confrontation was probably even faster than that of Wang Suiyue, whom Xiao Jin had seen.

With just one punch, the outcome was no longer in doubt. At this moment, Xiao Jin had no intention of killing and went straight to Du Chun's corpse not far away.

As Xiao Jin approached, he saw a smile of indescribable color on Du Chun's still-open face. This smile was neither a forced bravado nor a mockery of death, but rather a sense of relief and peace emanating from the depths of his soul.

Looking at Du Chun like this, and recalling everything Du Chun said in Qingxi Village... In this world, he is an ordinary man who, even after losing everything, still has all the responsibilities that a man should have.

Xiao Jin couldn't describe his feelings. He inexplicably felt that he had lived his previous life in vain... He had only wanted to get everything he wanted, thus ignoring some truly meaningful existence.

What should one do if reborn into another world?

Lost in thought, Xiao Jin couldn't figure it out, so he squatted down and closed Du Chun's eyes with his hands.

At this moment, Ye Bufan quietly approached and clasped his hands behind Xiao Jin, saying, "Young Master, all the Iron Slaughter Guards have been killed; not one survived!"

"Leave one person behind to bury Brother Du properly, the rest of you come with me to Xiali Village." Despite his feelings, Xiao Jin was clear about the urgent matter at hand.

Seeing Xiao Jin like this, not to mention how Ye Bufan felt, the Blood Guards a little further away had sparks in their eyes, their burning gazes fixed on Xiao Jin with an almost burning intensity.

If even the commoners of a small village like Qingxi can do this, then what about our sworn brother, who will follow us to the death?

.........

Xiali Village.

At the entrance to the village, abandoned millstones, felled trees, and dilapidated door panels were haphazardly but sturdily piled up to form a chest-high wall.

On the distant horizon, several black lines rapidly expanded with the sound of thunderous hooves as a hundred iron cavalrymen swept in like a whirlwind, kicking up yellow sand.

On the roof, a certain Blood Guard's murky eyes held a deathly ruthlessness as he stared intently at the ever-approaching plume of smoke and dust, calculating the distance.

One hundred paces... fifty paces...

"pull!"

As the Blood Guard roared in fury, the seemingly flat ground at the village entrance suddenly collapsed, and several tripwires sprang up from the loose soil!

The first few riders crashed to the ground with screams of agony. The Iron Slaughter Guards were thrown out amidst the cracking of bones, causing chaos in the charging formation. All the Iron Cavalry had to slow down rapidly, resulting in a crowd at the village entrance.

Just then, from the eaves on both sides, two Blood Guards used their few arrows to accurately shoot at the eyes of the slowed Iron Slaughter Guard, killing several of them instantly!

Perhaps they hadn't expected such a skilled fighter among the villagers, and thus became careless... But the Iron Slaughter Guard leader was clear-headed, and while the archers were recoiling, all the Iron Slaughter Guards scattered and retreated.

Meanwhile, another fifty Ironclad Cavalrymen, splitting up to the left and right, attempted to attack the village from the flanks...

Of course.

Before the Iron Slaughter Guard could launch an attack, six people suddenly appeared from behind them!

The leader was none other than Li Mian, an eighth-rank warrior with a scar on his cheek!

"kill!"

With a roar from Li Mian, the leftmost Blood Guard swung his axe, using the momentum of his charge, and smashed it directly into the rear waist of the cavalryman at the back of the column. The iron armor cracked open, and in the instant the rider and horse fell, the Blood Guard flipped his hand and swung his axe again, cutting off the back of another horse. His movements were so fluid and fast that they were almost super fast.

The Blood Guard on the right, gliding close to the ground, precisely pierced the horse's belly with the spear tip, scalding blood splattering onto his face. Without even blinking, two more horses were instantly killed.

Li Mian, in the middle, wielded two short blades that flashed coldly as he targeted the horses' legs, and three or four warhorses fell one after another... The Iron Slaughter Guard had just fallen to the ground when Li Mian slit his neck with his short blade.

He unexpectedly killed more than ten people in an instant, but failed to completely disrupt the cavalry formation. Shields and spears supported each other, and cold arrows were shot out from time to time, so much so that Li Mian had to dodge them.

Apart from Li Mian, the other five Blood Guards were all of the sixth rank. The two Iron Slaughter Guards also had four of the sixth rank members, and their heavy black iron armor made them quite formidable, especially since they were mounted on horseback.

As for the remaining four Blood Guards, although they were all seventh-rank, Li Mian arranged for them to stay in the village to protect the villagers' safety in case the barrier was breached.

After all, a few Iron Slaughter Guards could easily kill all those villagers.

If there were no villagers, Li Mian and his men could kill them twice and then retreat completely, but their mission was to protect the villagers, which is a different story.

After another round of fighting, Li Mian was panting heavily. Even though he was an eighth-rank warrior, he was still expending his internal energy.

"not good!"

Upon seeing that a Blood Guard had been accidentally pierced in the waist and abdomen by an Iron Slaughter Guard's spear, Li Mian's expression changed, and he secretly cried out in alarm!

The person who stabbed the Blood Guard felt an inexplicable, invisible pressure in Li Mian's eyes... a familiar feeling—a ninth-rank official?

......

"Faster! Faster!"

With only two more miles to go before reaching Xiali Village, Xiao Jin was still extremely anxious, unwilling to let Du Chun's fate repeat itself.
