On the deck, corpses of Jin Country soldiers had piled up around both Lin Yi and Bai Xiu.
"Lin Yi, how many have you killed?"
Bai Xiu, having just kicked another Golden Soldier to death, suddenly turned to look at Lin Yi.
"Two hundred twenty-four,"
Lin Yi said casually.
"That many!"
Bai Xiu's face changed; counting the one he had just killed, he had just barely broken two hundred.
He thought he could easily lead.
But he didn't expect to be so far behind Lin Yi!
"Brother Lin, you're not inflating your numbers, are you?"
Bai Xiu was a bit skeptical.
Lin Yi was noncommittal, "The bodies are all here, count them if you don't believe me."
Seeing Lin Yi's confidence.
Bai Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling.
He had planned to make Lin Yi his underling.
Now, ironically, he might have to start calling Lin Yi big brother?
"Looks like I need to show my true skills now!"
Bai Xiu's expression darkened slightly; without using his real abilities, he feared he really might have to become Lin Yi's lackey!
Suddenly, a formidable fluctuation burst forth from Bai Xiu's body. He leapt up and swept out a kick, spinning in mid-air with his leg extended.
Like a whirlwind!
Wherever he passed, every Jin Country soldier was either killed or injured!
It must be said, Bai Xiu's technique for slaughtering Golden Soldiers was indeed efficient!
However.
Just as Bai Xiu was inwardly prideful, confident of his overwhelming victory,
he suddenly felt a surge of sky-high sharp momentum erupting behind him!
As if thousands of treasure swords were pointed at his back!
Bai Xiu hurriedly ceased his attack and turned around to look, only to see Lin Yi holding his Battle Sword with an overwhelming presence, like a Sword God incarnate!
"Damn!"
Bai Xiu's eyes nearly popped out, "Is this Sword... Sword Intent?"
He had only used his special move to clear out soldiers, yet Lin Yi had actually comprehended Sword Intent amidst the heat of battle?
For a Martial Artist, understanding the realm is often the hardest!
In this world, there are many paths for Martial Arts cultivation, and correspondingly, there are various realms, including Boxing Intent, Sword Intent, Blade Intent, Spear Intent...
Generally speaking, reaching the Grandmaster Realm is considered the threshold for comprehending the Martial Arts Realm.
Across the entire Shi Country, there is only one Sword Dao Great Grandmaster who has comprehended Sword Intent.
The difficulty in grasping the realm lies in the fact that there are no training diagrams to follow, relying solely on one's own comprehension.
Some Sword Cultivators, even if they spend their entire lives trying, fail to grasp Sword Intent.
And now, Lin Yi, a mere Spirit Transformation Realm youngster, had actually comprehended Sword Intent?
Was it that casual?
With Sword Intent comprehended, Lin Yi's combat power surged to its peak, as endless Sword Intent burst forth, slaughtering the Golden Country Soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables!
If we're talking about the speed of clearing out soldiers, he was far superior to Bai Xiu!
"This is bad, this is really bad!"
Bai Xiu inwardly cried out in alarm.
If this continued, he was bound to lose!
He would have to acknowledge Lin Yi as the big brother!
However.
Just at this moment.
Above the distant waters.
Several Shi Country warships appeared.
They were rapidly advancing towards them.
"Our Shi Country's warships have arrived!"
The ship owner, seeing the Shi Country flags on each of the warships, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared on his once-despairing face.
The reinforcements had finally arrived!
At the forefront of the leading warship stood a female General, fully armored, valiant and spirited!
The female General was clad in red soft armor, with a fiery figure, long red hair, and eyes as sharp as knives!
"It's Shi Country's Female War God, Qin Ya!"
Upon seeing the figure of that female general, Bai Xiu's face also revealed a touch of astonishment.
Shi Country was at a disadvantage in the war with Jin Country.
But within Shi Country, there was one person who made the Jin army tremble with fear!
That was Shi Country's Female War God, Qin Ya.
This person had once led 8,000 elite troops to crush a 100,000-strong army of Jin Country.
She could be called a legendary figure of Shi Country!
"Qin Ya has come!"
"Run quickly!"
The two thousand Jin Country soldiers, already shaken by the onslaught from Lin Yi and Bai Xiu, were terrified at the sight of Shi Country's Female War God Qin Ya arriving, and immediately started fleeing back to their warships, seeking to save their lives!
But alas!
A pack of defeated dogs meets Shi Country's most valiant general, and the outcome can be imagined.
The Jin army on the three warships was annihilated by Qin Ya, the Female War God of Shi Country.
"General Qin is mighty!"
The shipowner and all the passengers showed expressions of relief, having survived a disaster.
"Paying respects to General Qin!"
Seeing Shi Country's Female War God boarding their ship, Lin Yi and Bai Xiu both bowed in salute to her.
"Was it you two who killed that Gold Country General?"
Qin Ya looked at heaps of Jin Army corpses beside them, her beautiful eyes expressing a hint of surprise.
"To be accurate, it was I who killed him!"
Bai Xiu looked up directly at Qin Ya and said, "But Brother Lin killed even more of the Golden Soldiers!"
"You two youngsters are quite skilled."
"If the men of Shi Country were all like you two, how could Jin Country possibly be the enemy of our Shi Country?"
Qin Ya's eyebrows slightly raised with admiration as she regarded Lin Yi and Bai Xiu, "Would you two be willing to join my ranks and serve Shi Country? I will petition His Majesty to grant both of you the rank of Colonel!"
Upon hearing this, many around them immediately cast envious glances.
To join the military and instantly receive a Colonel's rank?
This Female War God of Shi Country had taken a fancy to these two young men.
How many have served as soldiers all their lives and never reached the rank of Colonel!
To know that although a Colonel's rank is not high, one could still independently command a force of several hundred troops!
How prestigious!
"Thank you, General Qin, for your kindness!"
But Lin Yi was unmoved and shook his head, "I currently have no plans to join the military!"
Rejection!
The shipowner and all the passengers were dumbfounded.
He actually refused the invitation of the War God?
This was missing out on a grand opportunity!
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiu also shook his head in refusal, "I also do not have this in mind!"
These two guys actually both rejected the Female War God?!
They fail to appreciate what's good for them!
An opportunity many can only dream of and yet fail to obtain!
"All right then!"
"I never force anyone against their will, but if you change your minds in the future, you can come and find me at any time."
After saying this, Qin Ya left with the Shi Country troops.
Once she was gone, Bai Xiu looked at Lin Yi with confusion, "Brother Lin, you've already offended the Martial Arts Academy; joining the military wouldn't be a bad choice. Why did you reject the War God's offer?"
"I have a better place in mind!"
Lin Yi offhandedly remarked.
"A better place?"
Bai Xiu fell into deep thought.
He wondered, what place could be better than joining ranks under the Female War God?
But before he could ponder further, Lin Yi looked at him with a half-smile, "Brother Bai, I wonder if our recent bet is still valid?"
"According to our agreement, shouldn't you start calling me 'Big Brother' now?"
"Ah... this?"
Panic flickered in Bai Xiu's eyes.
What was bound to come, had finally arrived!
