Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

She leaped lightly out of the pit.

Back on the city wall, Xi Heng looked around but could no longer see the Tianliang rebels.

"They escaped...?"

It doesn't matter if you flee; there are people to kill everywhere on this battlefield now.

Xi Heng, carrying a blood-stained longsword, slowly walked towards the noisy area.

She bypassed a city tower and killed more than a dozen Tianliang soldiers who were constantly shooting arrows outwards. When she went out, she saw soldiers of the Great Zhao climbing ladders and stepping onto the city wall with swords and shields to fight hand-to-hand with the Tianliang defenders.

This front has been breached, and the situation should be similar elsewhere.

Amidst the clash of swords, the first Zhao soldier to scale the city wall killed two men, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xi Heng.

But seeing that her clothes did not resemble those of a rebel, and that her sword was stained with blood, and that many rebel soldiers had fallen around her, she immediately stopped moving. After a moment of stunned silence, she heard a cry for help and hurriedly turned around to charge back.

An arrow shot from afar, piercing the soldier's forehead and skull, causing him to fall to the ground.

Xi Heng was used to seeing people die, so he only looked up at the direction from which the arrows were shot.

On another towering city tower, a woman drew her bow and arrow, her sharp eyes fixed on her.

With a flick of his finger, the long arrow shot out.

Xi Heng turned sideways and slashed with his sword. The blade struck the tip of the incoming arrow precisely, first slicing through the arrowhead, then splitting the shaft and fletching, cutting the arrow into two oddly curved halves.

When he looked up and stared at the female archer again, she realized that she had provoked a formidable martial artist and quickly turned to flee.

Xi Heng wouldn't let the guy who tried to kill him get away, so he immediately used his light footwork to chase after him.

On her way to the city gate, many Tianliang rebels blocked her path, brandishing weapons and shouting something at her.

The surroundings were too noisy and chaotic, and Xi Heng was unable to hear clearly.

However, this is not a big problem. Those who are blocking the way are all enemies, and it is always right to kill them one by one.

Along the way, someone even grabbed a can of kerosene and threw it at her. Xi Heng caught it perfectly and threw it back at the person. The pottery jar smashed into the person's hand, turning the human flesh into a wailing flame.

The faster she chased after them, the closer she got to the heart and center of the entire battlefield.

Many of the Zhao soldiers had already climbed the city wall, roaring and shouting as they fought fiercely among the crowd.

People were packed together, their armor plates swaying like bells, and swords clashing, creating a sharp clanging sound everywhere.

A large jar of kerosene was overturned by someone, and a raging fire broke out on a large part of the city wall. The flames burned fiercely and intensely with the corpses as fuel, and with a hissing sound, they burned away the blood of the people.

The flames halted the advance of the government troops, but they also severely burned the Tianliang rebel army. The burning oil splashed or poured onto the rebel soldiers wearing paper armor, and no matter how much they patted it off, the effect was minimal.

Some people were burned so badly that they lost all their clothes and rolled on the ground screaming in agony, but their bodies were covered in flames as they rolled around haphazardly and were burned alive.

Xi Heng charged across the sea of ​​fire into the Tianliang rebel army's position, unleashing a sweeping sword aura that sent heads rolling to the ground.

When the Zhao soldiers, whose rear was blocked by the sea of ​​fire, saw her figure, many of them, who were also martial arts experts, learned to use their lightness skills to cross the fierce and surging flames and once again launched a surprise attack to occupy a piece of land.

Compared to the Tianliang rebels who could only retreat and shrink their battle lines, the morale of the government troops was so high that they seemed like heavenly soldiers and generals, unstoppable.

With only twenty or thirty men, they dared to charge at hundreds of rebel soldiers, and most of them were able to directly break through the enemy's formation.

The two armies are completely outmatched in strength, and the situation has become one-sided.

Xi Heng flew over this series of city walls and saw that the banners of the Great Zhao were planted above the city walls.

The few remaining Ironclad generals, clad in heavy armor, led their troops into a tower and began killing the Tianliang archers who were constantly harassing them with arrows.

Xi Heng also stepped into the area, passing over the soldiers who kept climbing the steps until he reached the top of the city tower.

As soon as I came up, I saw the female archer throw a burning oil jug at me.

Xi Heng fixed his gaze, then suddenly stretched out his left hand, and a blood arrow instantly formed and shot forward.

The blood arrow shattered the fire pot, and the surging, burning oil splattered everywhere, raining fire in all directions.

She dodged in a flash, swung her sword to point at the spikes, and moved her whole body at will, covering a distance of five or six meters.

The archer who had attacked her earlier was still drawing his bowstring when his heart was pierced.

The man looked on in disbelief and raised his hand as if to retaliate.

The girl turned around, drew her sword, and blood gushed out, splattering onto her sleeve.

Ignoring the fallen corpses, Xi Heng walked to the edge of the tower, blowing in the blood-scented wind, and quietly gazed down.

The red and black-clad soldiers of the Great Zhao army occupied more and more of the city walls, while Tianliang suffered repeated defeats. Many deserters had already left the city walls, either fleeing directly from Jinshi or abandoning their weapons and hiding in houses to disguise themselves as civilians.

Looking at the battle, Xi Heng was truly surprised that the Tianliang army could be defeated so quickly.

She thought the government troops would slowly wear down the city for a month or two, but in reality, they captured Jinshi on the very first night of the first siege.

Placing generals directly on catapults and launching them onto the city walls to disrupt the city from within before launching a general attack from the outside... this approach is quite imaginative.

Only a world with supernatural abilities could accomplish something like this.

"Tianliang's fate is sealed."

As he spoke softly, Xi Heng's gaze locked onto a group of Tianliang rebels fleeing side by side, and he was about to give chase.

The next moment, a deafening bell rang out from not far away.

The air vibrated, a gale arose, and flames from all directions fled, causing countless elite soldiers and generals to lose their focus for a moment.

The sound continued uninterrupted, lingering and long.

Xi Heng pressed his temples, abandoning his thoughts of pursuing with his sword, and looked towards the source of the bell's sound.

It was a golden light.

Two or three hundred meters away on the city wall, a burly warrior with golden light emanating from his body and holding two tall battle halberds was fighting against another general wearing red and black heavy scale armor and wielding a spear.

The tip of the heavy spear was driven straight into the golden light, producing only a ringing sound, and could not go any further.

"The expert with the Transformation Realm has made his move." Xi Heng took a half step back.

The mere sound of their single strike was enough to make her heart tremble; they were clearly not martial artists with internal strength.

However, Xi Heng did not save the game immediately, since the two experts at the Transformation Realm were attacking each other from a distance and were not coming towards her.

Among them, the general wearing full red and black armor and carrying a spear is clearly a master of the Great Zhao Dynasty, as evidenced by the golden and red armor and the dark red cloak on his back.

As for the other burly man wearing leather armor with several thick plates on the surface, he was probably a warrior from Tianliang...

"So, Tianliang doesn't only have Fang Tiande as a Transformation Realm expert... Or perhaps, this person is just reinforcements brought from Huangmei Mountain?"

Xi Heng casually thought that the city tower he was standing on was relatively safe, so he stood aside and watched this rare battle scene of the Transformation Realm experts.

The martial artists at the Transformation Realm were clearly much stronger than her. With just a swing of their halberds and a stomp of their feet, they created countless cracks in the solid city wall, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.

The ordinary soldiers around who didn't have time to escape were so shocked that they fell to the ground one by one.

The halberd slashed, the spear parried and spun, then suddenly pressed the halberd down.

The two weapons slammed into the ground, creating another crack.

General Zhao rushed to the front, stomping his foot and shattering the opponent's fallen halberd. Immediately, his spear shot out like a dragon—

The spear tip whipped up a burst of white, powerful wind; the wind arrived before the spear even reached it.

Golden light burst forth from the enemy's body, blocking the wind from the spear. Suddenly, the enemy released the halberd and clasped his hands together in front of him.

Just as the spear was about to reach his chest, it was firmly locked in place by a pair of large hands.

Without hesitation, the general withdrew his hand and unleashed a burst of neutralizing force at the spear that was pinned in mid-air.

With a sonic boom, a gun barrel was torn in half, splitting into countless thin strips, with unstoppable force.

The powerful force exploded into the enemy general's clasped hands. The enemy general groaned and immediately released his hands. The spear tip naturally continued to thrust into his heart, and another heart-shaking bell rang out.

The golden light flashed again, blocking the attack, but then it noticeably faded.

The soldiers from the surrounding area, including those with hidden strength, also gathered around. This expert with transformed strength gritted his teeth and retreated. His figure, glowing with golden light, flashed on the city wall before he began to flee.

General Zhao did not pursue them further, but instead ordered the surrounding soldiers to continue sweeping the entire city wall.

"You're just going to exchange a couple of moves to see who's stronger and then stop fighting?" Xi Heng blinked.

Neither of these two martial arts masters seemed willing to use their full strength in a life-or-death struggle.

After quickly assessing their relative strengths, the martial artist from Tianliang immediately fled, and General Zhao did not pursue him.

"It seems like some kind of unspoken rule among martial arts masters..." she vaguely realized.

Xi Heng originally wanted to see martial artists at the Transformation Realm fight each other with all their might, hoping to gain some inspiration from it and create new moves in the ensuing battles.

Unfortunately, we can't watch it now.

"Tsk."

The Grand General of the Great Zhao Dynasty sheathed his spear, turned around, and looked up at where Xi Heng was.

The girl on the city wall frowned slightly; being targeted by a martial arts master was not a good thing.

If the other party also considers her an enemy, it will be even more troublesome.

Xi Heng even considered saving the file immediately, but before that, she saw the Great Zhao general, who had reached the Transformation Realm, put his hands together and bow to her.

She tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"I've been recognized?"

Before I could figure out how the general wearing the tiger-mask bronze mask recognized me, a voice came from afar:

"Princess, please come down from the city wall."

Xi Heng ignored him and asked instead, "How did you recognize me?"

“When you were a child, Princess, I held you in my arms. How could I not recognize you?” the other party said with a loud laugh.

He removed the brass mask from his face, revealing a resolute face etched with many wrinkles, with distinct features and deep-set eyes.

"My name is Zhao Wanli, and by blood I can be considered your uncle."

"Uncle?" Xi Heng didn't quite recognize his relative and just said "Oh".

She still did not follow the other party's advice to go down the city wall. After all, this person in front of her was capable of threatening her Transformation Realm, so it was better to keep some distance.

"I never expected that this trip to the south would lead me to meet Princess Xiheng, whom I've lost contact with for so long." The other party said sincerely, "I wonder where the Princess has been all these years? Why hasn't she returned to the palace?"

"Are you going to take me back?" Xi Heng continued to answer questions with questions.

She had no desire to go to the capital and get entangled in the increasingly troublesome political situation within the imperial palace.

“Now that the late emperor is gone and the throne has been established, Princess’s return to the palace at this time will only lead to difficulties. As her uncle, I am unwilling to take her back to the capital.” He shook his head and said, “I will not interfere with Princess’s actions.”

"That's good."

It turned out that the other person just wanted to catch up and had no other intentions.

"Just now I saw the Princess act decisively and ruthlessly, single-handedly helping my Northern Army to kill many rebels, and even killing a famous rebel general. I wonder what grudge she has against Tianliang?"

"National hatred and family feuds, what grudges are there?" Xi Heng asked in return.

“Even though Your Highness is outside the capital, receiving no special treatment or salary, and possessing no special privileges or wealth, you still remain devoted to the country. This humble general admires you!” The other party then clasped his hands in a fist salute to her and said:

"Since the princess is unwilling to return to the capital, why not let her join my army? Fighting on the battlefield as a military officer is also a way to protect the country and its people!"

……

Chapter Seventy, Changing Sects

After exchanging a few words with her, the General Zhao seemed to have developed a great deal of goodwill towards her.

"Join the army?" Xi Heng pondered.

She had actually considered infiltrating the Northern Frontier army to hone her swordsmanship within the ranks.

However, after joining the army, one will always be bound by various rules and regulations and cannot do as one pleases.

For example, if she were made a military general, Xi Heng would likely charge directly into the enemy ranks, and wouldn't stop immediately even if the general issued a retreat order.

More importantly, Yan Meng Kingdom has not yet launched a southward invasion, and there is not much fighting on the northern border.

Even if you were to join the army, you should wait until after the war starts... The north is peaceful now, so there's no war to fight there.

But it's good to ask now.

"After that, will you allow me to lead my troops independently?" she then asked.

Once you become the one giving orders, you won't have to worry about many things.
