Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Suddenly, the throwing chariots fired in unison, violently hurling the Ironclad warriors on their throwing arms into the distance.

They had already adjusted their angle and force, and these elite warriors, who had already reached the Ming Jin level, landed on the city wall almost simultaneously, just like the huge rocks that had crashed down earlier.

Xi Heng lost sight of the area and could only hear the chaotic sounds created by the fully armored warriors.

Bottles and jars shattered, flames roared, and rebel soldiers screamed in terror or cried out in pain from their injuries, their astonishment and screams echoing one after another.

Tianliang obviously did not expect that the Great Zhao Ever Victorious Army could directly throw people onto the city wall using catapults.

This requires not only accurate pitchers, but also a large number of skilled players, as well as unwavering and strong willpower, and a willingness to die for the cause.

They, Tianliang, could never do these things.

The fact that a Ming Jin master clad in heavy full armor rushed into the room was already a considerable problem.

Now, more than twenty heavily armored soldiers stepped onto the city wall, and in the blink of an eye, they posed a considerable threat to them.

Chaos had broken out inside, and there were still many ladders below that needed to be defended, so the defense had many gaps and weaknesses.

A moment later, the catapults launched another wave of iron cavalry, who, like heavenly soldiers descending to earth, began to rampage and slaughter on the city walls.

Even though there were skilled fighters in the Tianliang army who could hold them back, the number of fully armored soldiers landing on the city walls was increasing, and the situation on the city walls was becoming more and more chaotic.

The city walls' defenses were breached one after another, and numerous Zhao soldiers climbed the siege ladders.

The siege had barely begun when a large breach appeared, and the Zhao soldiers stormed the city walls and immediately began fighting.

Xi Heng also stepped into the chaos of war, transforming into a blood-red figure and rushing into the nearest city tower.

Wherever the blood shadow passed, heads separated from flesh, blood splattered everywhere, and red lines lashed wildly.

After beheading more than a dozen people, the soldiers' pleas for help were answered, and a soldier in full armor, wielding a massive three-meter-long halberd, rushed from afar.

When he arrived, he shouted and swung his halberd, assuming a stable stance like a pagoda.

"I am Xin Hai, a military general of Tianliang. Who goes there?!"

"Blood demon."

Xi Heng announced his name in the martial arts world and pointed his longsword at the enemy.

The enemy frowned and asked, "Is the rumor of the vampire demon true? Were you responsible for the bizarre scene of corpses strewn all over the city last night?"

"We're at war, why are you asking about these trivial things?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

"The infamous Blood Demon was nothing more than a lackey of the imperial court."

"There's nothing I can do; I was born into the imperial court." Xi Heng disliked the title, but he admitted it nonetheless.

"For the sake of the future, I must stand on the side of Great Zhao. Any traitor, barbarian, or treacherous villain who attempts to overthrow Great Zhao—will have to suffer under my sword!"

If she can achieve the Transformation Realm in this lifetime, she will have to seek immortality.

It may be difficult to succeed in seeking immortality alone, because there have been too many people in this world who have sought immortality but never found any trace of it before they died.

If we can leverage the power of the entire Zhao state, we can increase our chances of finding the immortals.

Once he had enough power and strength, Xi Heng planned to take back the throne from Chu Xiao in order to advance his plan to seek immortality.

It would be unacceptable for the Great Zhao to be destroyed by rebels or barbarians along this journey.

Xi Heng had no desire to become a princess of a fallen kingdom.

Chapter Sixty-Nine, Breaking Through the Enemy's Stronghold

After Xi Heng finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the cold light on the sword turned into a red line, sweeping towards the formidable enemy before him.

"Speaking wildly!" The enemy general pressed down with his halberd, and the sword energy was instantly shattered by the immense force. At the same time, the halberd was also driven into the ground by the force.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xi Heng stepped forward and stomped hard on the battle halberd, causing it to sink even further.

Taking advantage of the enemy's weapon being out of control, she raised her hand and used a move called "Azalea Blood Qi," with the tip of her sword pointing directly at the enemy's neck.

"Drink!" The enemy frowned, his muscles bulged and veins stood out. He pulled with all his might with both hands and stomped his right foot, instantly pulling out the halberd that was stuck in the city wall, along with a large pile of rubble.

He leaped backward almost simultaneously, his halberd sweeping towards the girl who was lunging at him.

This move not only freed him from the constraints of the weapon and allowed him to retreat and dodge the thrust, but also delivered a strike at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Xi Heng immediately raised his sword to the side to block the halberd.

Clang——

The clash between the sword and the spear produced a piercing shriek, and she was thrown to the side by the powerful impact.

The girl spun in the air, the blade striking the ground first, leaving sparks and marks. The force dissipated, and she stomped heavily on the ground to steady herself.

Looking back, he realized he was less than half a meter away from the city wall.

That attack just now almost knocked her off the city wall.

“Not bad.” Xi Heng raised his eyes, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

This Tianliang general was clearly much stronger than the Jingming Sect's hidden force that she had killed last night.

"Take this!" The opponent responded with only his halberd, his slash coming from the upper left with a whistling wind.

Instead of retreating, Xi Heng advanced, his toes making a quick step forward by stepping into the indentation of the city wall. He first ducked low to avoid the halberd slashing at him, then thrust forward to stab at the enemy's chest.

In the blink of an eye, several actions occurred in succession.

The general of Tianliang saw a red shadow flash by and instinctively dodged to the side, but the inertia of his heavy armor and halberd slowed down his dodge.

Before he could move much, the red thread had already reached his chest.

The general frowned, forced to unleash his inner strength, and raised his right foot high before slamming it down.

This section of the city wall was not entirely solid; its interior contained hidden tunnels for soldiers. The full power of a martial artist with internal strength allowed him to directly trample the top of the city wall.

Countless cracks burst open, and the wall bricks, linked together by bluestone blocks, collapsed downwards, connecting the figures above.

Before the sword tip struck, it first pierced a bluestone brick.

After piercing the stone, when the red thread struck again, it had moved from the chest to the shoulder.

The blade pierced through the shoulder armor, penetrated the flesh, and then emerged from behind.

Xi Heng was about to draw his sword and change his attack when he found that the blade was stuck between the opponent's bones and muscles, and he couldn't pull it out for a moment.

She still clung to the blade, falling with the enemy into the dark, cramped hiding place.

The halberd was pulled back, its blade slicing towards her body.

Using the sword blade embedded in the opponent's shoulder as a fulcrum, Xi Heng pulled his body down, dodging the attack and landing on the ground first.

The moment his heels touched the ground, the power of his muscles and bones erupted. Xi Heng pulled hard with both hands, using his superior strength to forcefully pull back his sword, causing a wave of blood to ripple outwards.

In the dim light, a red glow appeared in the girl's eyes, exuding a murderous aura.

Before the enemy could even lower his gun, her sword was already pointed at his forehead.

This sudden and fierce attack made the halberd-wielding general grit his teeth and try his best to raise his black iron halberd to block.

The longswords and halberds sparked fiercely, instantly illuminating the small room that contained a large number of weapons, arrows, oil, and other defensive supplies.

Xi Heng's sword was blocked, but other sword moves followed with fierce attacks, almost without any pause.

The general roared again, his blood and energy bursting forth instantly, crashing into Xi Heng like a whirlwind, causing her to take two steps back.

Although the previous few moves were blocked, the red line extending from the tip of the sword still left several obvious sword marks on the general's face and body.

The Tianliang general, already covered in wounds, glanced at the cramped hiding place, still retaining his arrogance:

"You have nowhere to hide here now, don't you?"

"In such a small space, can you even wield your halberd?" Xi Heng countered.

She jumped down voluntarily; the walls in this area were narrow, which was extremely disadvantageous for enemies using long-handled weapons.

If the halberd in the opponent's hand gets stuck in the wall or pillar for even a moment, Xi Heng can easily take off his head.

The general snorted coldly, released his halberd and put it to the ground, then drew his broadsword from his waist.

Xi Heng's gaze remained calm; she was quite adept at dealing with such short knives.

Her figure flashed again, and in the dim light, the red trail traced by the sword tip was like a shooting star in the night sky.

As his opponent raised his blade to parry, Xi Heng instantly transformed the attack into a thrust with a bizarre shift in posture—

The sword tip broke the sound barrier, and a gale arose.

The state of tranquility has returned.

In Xi Heng's eyes, all movements and sounds, whether of himself or the other party, suddenly became extremely slow.

Although she felt it was slow, her sword speed at this moment was actually much faster than before.

Her sword strike, which exceeded the speed of sound, was probably too fast for ordinary people to even see.

In the blink of an eye, the sword pierced deep into the enemy's neck from right in front of him.

The general mustered all his strength to raise his short sword in an attempt to block the thrust, and he did indeed block it in the right direction.

But with a flash of red light, the sword tip shattered the short knife in two and then pierced his neck.

Xi Heng stopped what he was doing and stared at the other person, his eyes changing from surprise to fear, and then to disbelief.

What kind of sword could pierce through the air and create such a terrifying white barrier?

"This...what..." The general asked in a hoarse voice with his last breath.

He couldn't understand it at all.

"This sword is named Yueyin."

After Xi Heng finished speaking, he sheathed his longsword.

As the blade was withdrawn, a spurt of blood gushed from the opponent's neck, splashing warmly onto the sword before falling to the ground.

The general managed to stand for a while, but inevitably lost his strength and fell to the ground. His rough breathing became increasingly disordered and gradually disappeared.

A moment later, the Tianliang soldiers observing from above the city wall shouted in panic:

"General Xin has been defeated! The general has been defeated!"

People around immediately fled in panic.

Xi Heng did not chase after him to behead him as usual; she was still immersed in the state of tranquility that had suddenly appeared in her mind.

"I think I know how to create swordsmanship..." she muttered to herself.

Once you enter that state, recall those sword techniques that have become second nature, forget them for a moment, and then use your experience from countless battles to unleash a sword strike that can directly resolve the current situation.

That sword strike was a move she created.

In fact, when she unleashed that horizontal slash last night in a state of perfect tranquility, severing hundreds of heads, she had already created a new sword technique.

At the time, Xi Heng didn't notice this.

At this moment, her state of perfect tranquility returned, and after making another move, she gained some understanding.

"A calm mind is a state that arises spontaneously after a martial artist trains their martial intent and spirit and breaks through a major bottleneck... It enables a person to remain clear-headed and calm during battle, exert their full strength that they cannot usually exert, and concentrate their mind and nerves to the point that they will feel everything around them slow down."

"In this state, there will be no confusion or fear; all thoughts and ideas will be focused on slaying the enemy."

"In this state, you can focus all your energy into the blade, and the moves you use will be the best moves."

"A swordsman's swordsmanship should not be slowly developed and created through daily practice and planning, but should be spontaneously driven by the body and all consciousness in the life-and-death struggle between swords, creating a sword that belongs to oneself and is unparalleled."

Xi Heng slowly exhaled, looked at the blood-stained sword and his hands, and his mind relaxed a little.

"Indeed, killing such experts is still more effective."

While killing many low-level enemies can be helpful, it's better to directly fight against skilled opponents if you want to improve quickly.

Now Xi Heng wants to find a martial artist who has reached the Transformation Realm, save the game, and fight against them repeatedly.

After silently pondering these thoughts, the girl looked up at the sky.

The sounds of fighting outside continued to come—clashing swords, roaring in conflict—as officers gave orders and soldiers relayed them.

Arrows rained down, stones pelted down, and war drums boomed outside the city, resonating deep within the hearts of the people.

Xi Heng had emerged from his state of perfect tranquility, and his mind was once again affected by the atmosphere of war around him. His eyes, which had turned red due to the surge of blood in his body, once again revealed a trace of killing intent.

"It's time to continue."
