"Dead?"
Lin Fei was surprised.
This was the first time he had unleashed the Nine Shadow Saber Technique without holding back.
With Bai Ying, they only sparred lightly,
using about twenty to thirty percent effort.
Now, the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was at full power.
Its might was terrifying.
One strike killed a Body Refinement Level Three bandit.
"I killed someone?"
Lin Fei's eyes flickered cold.
He knew as a martial artist,
one day he would have to kill.
But he didn't expect it would be so easy.
Yes, easy.
Like killing a chick.
Were all these bandits that weak?
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique's first kill excites it greatly.
It has comprehended the secret of the swift saber."
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique has broken through to mastery."
Lin Fei was a little stunned.
Suddenly, insights about the Nine Shadow Saber Technique flooded his mind.
Mastery-level Nine Shadow Saber Technique was more terrifying.
At that moment, Lin Fei finally understood
why the Nine Shadow Saber Technique's progress was so slow before-
like turtle speed.
Because it was a purely killing saber technique.
Only through killing could it improve quickly.
Seeing their leader killed,
the other bandits were stunned.
But Lin Fei snapped back.
People were killed, so the bandits had to be wiped out.
"Kill!"
Lin Fei gave the order.
He charged like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.
His next slash produced three white shadows—
three saber shadows.
This meant Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique had reached mastery.
Such saber techniques were pure killing arts.
Especially in group fights,
they were invincible.
The bandits were quickly slaughtered almost completely.
The remaining were thin, pale refugees
now kneeling in surrender.
Most of the real bandits were dead.
Lin Fei was covered in blood,
looking like a killing god.
Bai Ying and Tie Shan came over.
"Second Young Master, this was just one bandit group.
There are countless more ahead."
Bai Ying whispered.
"I know.
I was just showing strength."
"Other bandits in Jiuhuan Mountain now know what happens if they mess with the Lin Family caravan."
"We cannot kill all the bandits on Jiuhuan Mountain.
Besides, killing them would only invite other bandits to take their place."
"But by the martial world rules,
if we capture all the strongholds,
and raise the Lin Family's banner,
they won't dare to block us."
Lin Fei's eyes shone.
He had long thought of a plan.
His words surprised Bai Ying and Tie Shan.
"Second Young Master, you want to attack all the strongholds on Jiuhuan Mountain?"
"Is that impossible?"
"Theoretically feasible.
But extremely dangerous—one misstep could be fatal."
Even Master Bai couldn't do that.
"Without this, the Lin Family caravan can never travel normally."
"So that's how it'll be."
Lin Fei had decided.
Bai Ying and Tie Shan exchanged glances, silently nodding.
"Bai Ying, Tie Shan, fall back a bit."
"Once I've destroyed all the strongholds, I'll meet back with you."
"If I don't return by tomorrow, don't wait for me—retreat back to Zhou Shan City."
Lin Fei said sternly.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
Bai Ying and Tie Shan understood his meaning.
Lin Fei didn't delay any longer.
He grabbed a bandit and strode toward Jiuhuan Mountain.
"System."
Lin Fei called the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refinement Level Five
Giant Whale Refinement Body Skill: Level Five (Progress 1%)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Fist: Mastery (Progress 61%)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Mastery (Progress 96%)
Vajra Iron Cloth Technique: Level Four (Progress 45%)
Muscle Tendon Transformation Skill: Level Three (Progress 56%)
Lin Fei glanced.
Nine Shadow Saber Technique had not only broken through to mastery,
but its progress was already at 96%.
That meant
his recent slaughter greatly improved the saber technique.
"If I kill one more with Nine Shadow Saber Technique,
will I break through to Great Accomplishment?"
Lin Fei's heart stirred.
Once a martial art reached Great Accomplishment,
it was vastly different from mastery.
For example, Nine Shadow Saber Technique at Great Accomplishment
could slash out six shadows in one strike,
nearly doubling its power.
Though Jiuhuan Mountain's strongholds reportedly lacked Body Refinement Level Six experts,
there might still be some strong warriors.
The stronger, the better.
"Young master, the stronghold is just ahead.
I followed your orders and released the prisoner.
Did you?"
The bandit cautiously asked.
"Released you?"
Lin Fei sneered.
This bandit was a real fierce outlaw,
not a refugee.
His hands were stained with blood.
"Perfect. Use your blood to consecrate my blade and help my saber improve!"
Lin Fei's blade fell.
"Thud."
The bandit's head was severed.
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique cultivation progress reached 100%, breaking through to Great Accomplishment!"
"Finally Great Accomplishment."
Lin Fei rejoiced.
His blade was still stained with blood.
He lightly slashed again.
Six shadows appeared—
so fast they were hard to see with the naked eye.
Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique was now at Great Accomplishment.
He was a true saber expert!
"With the saber at Great Accomplishment,
it's time to attack all the strongholds on Jiuhuan Mountain in one go!"
Lin Fei howled toward the sky:
"Zhou Shan City's Lin Fei challenges all experts on Jiuhuan Mountain!"
With the roar,
Lin Fei sprinted toward the strongholds ahead.
