Chapter 323: with translation of chapter title

Holy shit, what a fierce Blade Intent...

Guan Yuanbai's pupils constricted slightly, and cold sweat seeped from his back.

Just now, that crescent-shaped arc of blade light almost grazed his body.

At that moment he felt as if he himself had been cut in half.

After delivering that terrifying blow, the distant figure did not linger but instead approached again.

He waved his left hand and took a wooden box from his spatial ring.

Clang—

A sword's humming sound came.

Several dazzling silver-like flying swords shot straight to the sky, circling above the figure.

He's actually a mental-system Talent Endowed, his strength is so strong it's suffocating...

Guan Yuanbai couldn't help but praise.

I don't know which military region's big shot it is, but he actually arrived ahead of the main force to reinforce.

When that figure drew closer, Guan Yuanbai made out the other's appearance and instantly fell into astonishment.

So young?

He's actually... a boy!

Guan Yuanbai couldn't figure out how the boy, who looked about eighteen or nineteen not far away, could unleash a blade that even made him feel chilled.

Whoosh—

The boy ignored the dazed Guan Yuanbai, his figure flashing past him.

Puchi! Puchi!

The sound of blades piercing flesh rang out continuously, as the dancing swords in the air wove a blade net.

Wherever the boy went, the nearby monsters seemed to have been paused, all freezing in place.

Only after he left did they turn into clouds of blood mist...

Holy crap, who is this guy? So strong!

When did our legion get such a big shot?!

Great, we don't have to die today...

Some were shocked by the boy's strength, while others rejoiced at surviving.

But the same is that the soldiers now are like they've been injected with chicken blood, each filled with fighting spirit.

Kill, brothers!

Follow the big shot and slaughter these beasts clean!

The battle cries shook the heavens; in a short while, half of the charging eighth-rank monsters were slain.

The boy turned his body and charged at the sole remaining ninth-rank monster on the field.

Clang—

The long blade swept across, forming a dazzling band of light in the air.

The boy's bluish-purple long blade looked extremely sharp; a light slash easily pierced the ninth-rank monster's flesh until it got caught on its spine.

Seeming to realize his long blade couldn't cut through bone, the boy turned his arm and hooked the blade upward.

Puchi—

A large chunk of flesh flew into the air, and a rain of blood splattered everywhere.

Yet this blood rain didn't stain the boy's clothes at all, as if a transparent shield surrounded his body, keeping the blood out.

The boy moved with his blade, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Blinding lightning burst from his body, forming a ferocious silver-white armor.

Everyone was numb.

They all stood there dumbfounded, watching the originally despair-inducing monster horde be wiped out completely.

Such a scene gave them an unreal feeling.

A few minutes later, a figure flew in from the east.

How are you? Hold on!

Situjun's deep voice sounded.

He had just cleared the western line's monsters and immediately rushed to the east without stopping.

But when he arrived at the eastern defense line, he saw no trace of the monster horde.

On the field only a few eighth-rank monsters remained, clinging to life.

What's the situation?

Situjun slightly opened his mouth, looking toward the not‑far figure that was slaughtering wantonly.

Lord Seat...

Guan Yuanbai came to Situjun's side, performed a military salute, and whispered a greeting.

Lord Seat, where did you find this boy? His strength is amazing—he alone slaughtered all these monsters...

Situjun's expression was complex; he hadn't expected that after not seeing him for a while, Lu Jing's strength had grown considerably.

It must be said that letting Lu Jing come early was a wise choice, perfectly solving the urgent need.

This boy is Lu Jing, this year's Dragon Imperial New Star; you should remember him, right?

Situjun gazed at Lu Jing's figure, his eyes full of approval and recognition.

He is Lu Jing?

Guan Yuanbai's face flashed with surprise: 'Indeed, hearing about him doesn't compare to seeing him; I thought the online videos were media hype, but in reality he's far stronger than they showed!'

"Dong Ningxue, long time no see."

The youth's figure flashed again, arriving beside Dong Ningxue, extending his hand to her, his gaze gentle, a smile on his face.

Gazing at the tall, slender youth before him......

At this moment, Dong Ningxue felt as if struck by electricity, her whole body stunned for a moment.

After a while, she slowly placed her right hand on Lu Jing's hand, allowing him to pull her up from the ground.

"Lu Jing, you've come, that's really great......"

After saying that, Dong Ningxue fell into a coma, leaning against Lu Jing.

Just as Lu Jing was at a loss, a petite figure rushed forward and steadied Dong Ningxue for him.

"Lu Jing, you brat, you came just in time!"

Zhu Xingyao's eyes flashed with excitement as she lightly punched him.

Lu Jing looked up, saw it was Zhu Xingyao, and thus relieved handed Dong Ningxue over to her.

"She probably fainted from exhaustion; she'll be fine after a rest."

"Mm, Sister Xue has been fighting since last night until now, her stamina overdrawn terribly."

Zhu Xingyao heartbrokenly held Dong Ningxue in her arms.

"Why push herself so hard?"

Lu Jing was somewhat surprised; as fellow soldiers, why can Lu Xin yuan and Yang Zixin and those others go out to eat, drink, and have fun?

Yet Dong Ningxue fights to the death here?

"There's nothing we can do; this Grade A Cave appeared too suddenly, and reinforcements can't arrive in time......"

Zhu Xingyao explained.

"Then why can Lu Xin yuan and the others avoid entering the Cave to fight?"

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Zhu Xingyao's face showed some surprise: 'How do you know about Lu Xin yuan and the others? Their family head is a military region leader, who specially arranged this for them, while we have no background......

"Even if we had background, we couldn't do such desertion in battle, me and Sister Xue."

"Doesn't Lord Seat care? Letting these worms run amok?"

Lu Jing pressed further.

He didn't believe Lord Seat would let his subordinates run amok.

"'Lord Seat also wants to manage this; he's been worried about it, but those people's senior military rank behind them is higher than Lord Seat's, allowing them to bypass him and issue orders directly......"

Zhu Xingyao shrugged, looking helpless.

"'So that's it; these pests have formed a scale, no wonder Huaguo has no successors.'"

Lu Jing snorted, turned, and walked toward Lord Seat's direction.

Because he had killed too many aberrant beasts, a bloodthirsty killing intent gathered on his surface, increasing more and more.

Thus, as Lu Jing walked, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a blood-red hurricane.
