"Dead?"
Lin Fei was a bit surprised.
This was the first time he had fully used the Nine Shadow Saber Technique without any reservation.
Even with Bai Ying, it was just a friendly spar. He had only used about two or three points of his strength at that time.
But now, he had unleashed the full force of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique.
The power was terrifyingly strong. One slash had killed a bandit who was at the third layer of Body Refining.
"I killed someone?"
Lin Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that as a martial artist, he would eventually have to kill someone. But he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Yes, easy. As easy as killing a chicken.
Were these bandits all this weak?
"Your first kill with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique. The Nine Shadow Saber Technique is exhilarated and has comprehended the secrets of the fast saber."
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique has broken through to mastery."
Lin Fei was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, the insights of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique appeared in his mind.
The mastery level of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was even more terrifying.
At this moment, Lin Fei finally understood why the progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was too slow in the past.
As slow as a turtle.
It turned out that the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was a pure killing technique.
It needed to be improved rapidly through killing.
Seeing the bandit leader dead, the other bandits were stunned.
However, Lin Fei snapped back to reality.
Since he had killed a person, he naturally had to clear out the remain bandits.
"Kill!"
Lin Fei gave the order.
Immediately, he charged into the group of bandits like a ferocious tiger.
Then, he slashed out three beams of white light.
Those were the saber shadows.
One slash produced three saber shadows.
This meant that Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique had reached mastery.
This kind of sword technique was a pure killing martial art.
Especially in group battles, it was invincible.
The group of bandits was quickly killed off. The remaining few seemed to be skinny refugees, who had kneeled on the ground in surrender.
Most of the real bandits had been killed, and Lin Fei was covered in blood, looking like a killing god. At this moment, Bai Ying and Tieshan walked over.
"Young Master, these are also bandits. We should kill them, as there are still many other groups of bandits in the area," Bai Ying said in a low voice.
"I know. I was just establishing my authority," Lin Fei replied. "I believe that the other bandits in Nine Rings Mountains now understand the consequences of messing with the Lin family's caravan."
"We cannot kill all the bandits in Nine Rings Mountains. Furthermore, if we kill them all, other bandits will just take over. But according to the rules of the Jianghu, I can challenge all the strongholds. Once we plant our Lin family's flag, they won't dare to stop us!"
Lin Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He had already planned his next move. However, his words surprised Bai Ying and Tieshan.
"Young Master, are you planning to challenge all the strongholds in Nine Rings Mountains?" Bai Ying asked.
"Is that not possible?"
"In theory, it's possible. But it's too dangerous. If we're not careful, we could..." Tieshan said.
"Challenge all the strongholds in Nine Rings Mountains. Even Master Bai cannot do that." Bai Ying said.
"If we don't need to resort to such drastic measures, the Lin family's caravan will never be able to conduct business normally," Lin Fei said.
"So let's do it this way," Lin Fei decided.
Bai Ying and Tieshan exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
"Bai Ying, Tieshan, you should retreat a distance. I will go up the mountain and challenge all the strongholds. I'll meet up with you both after I'm done. If I don't come back by tomorrow, don't worry about me. Just return to Zhou Mountain Mansion City," Lin Fei said in a low voice.
"Yes, Young Master," Bai Ying and Tieshan understood Lin Fei's meaning.
Without further delay, Lin Fei picked up one of the bandits and strode up the mountain. "System," he called, activating the system panel.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Body Refining Fifth Level
Giant Whale Body Refining Technique: Fifth Level (1% progress)
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Mastery (61% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Mastery (96% progress)
Vajra Iron Cloth: Fourth Level (45% progress)
Tendon Transformation And Bone Forging Technique: Third Level (56% progress)
Lin Fei took a glance.
Not only did his Nine Shadow Saber Technique break through to the mastery level, but the progress had also reached 96%.
Lin Fei's massacre just now had actually helped the Nine Shadow Saber Technique to improve so much.
"If I kill one more person with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, will it reach the transcendence level?" Lin Fei's mind stirred.
Once martial art reaches the transcendence level, it is a world of difference compared to mastery.
For example, when the Nine Shadow Blade Technique reached transcendence, one slash could produce six saber shadows, and the power almost doubles.
Although it was said that there were no Body Refining Sixth Level experts in the bandit's den of Nine Rings Mountains, there might still be some strong people.
The stronger the better, of course.
"Young master, we're almost at the mountain stronghold. According to your orders, I listened to your commands. Could you release me?" the bandit said cautiously.
"Release you?" Lin Fei sneered.
This bandit was a real thug, not a refugee, with unknown numbers of bloodstains on his hands.
"It's just right. I will use your blood to offer my saber and help me improve my saber skills!" Lin Fei raised his blade and struck.
"Pfft!"
One slash chopped off the bandit's head.
"Your Nine Shadow Saber Technique breakthrough progress has reached 100%, reaching transcendence level!"
"It has finally reached transcendence." Lin Fei was delighted.
There was still blood on his big saber.
He gently swung the saber, and six saber shadows appeared, with incredible speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
This meant Lin Fei's Nine Shadow Saber Technique had reached Transcendence.
Now, Lin Fei could be regarded as a master in using knives!
"My saber skills have reached transcendence. It's time to go all out and overthrow all the mountain strongholds in Nine Rings Mountains!"
Lin Fei looked up to the sky and howled, "Lin Fei from Zhou Mountain Mansion City has come to challenge all the masters in Nine Rings Mountains!"
With a howl, Lin Fei ran towards the mountain stronghold in front of him.
