System:The More I Kill, the Stronger I Get

Chapter 54 - One arrow kills the innate



Leaving fifty cavalrymen behind to gather the Barbarian warhorses, Oliver Sheng led his troops to continue holding back the Barbarian army, easing their assault on River West County.

The Barbarian cavalry who fled back were in a state of panic.

"Bad news, my prince, bad news!"

"What happened? What's going on?"

"The enemy, the enemy has a powerful expert. Lord Xianyou has fallen in battle," the terrified soldier reported.

"What?"

Kaden Yu stood up from his tiger-skin seat, his face full of shock.

Xianyou was a mid-stage Innate expert. To kill Xianyou, it would at least require a peak late-stage Innate expert, right?

Moreover, Xianyou was his personal guard, and yet he had fallen?

Kaden Yu found it hard to accept for a moment.

Looking at the five hundred remnants who had fled back, Kaden Yu felt a bit dazed.

"My prince, to kill Brother Xianyou, it must be a Great Perfection Innate expert. We need to prepare to retreat immediately," said You Lin with a serious expression.

He was one of the three Innate experts on this expedition and naturally knew Xianyou's strength. A peak mid-stage Innate expert was very difficult to kill even for an ordinary late-stage Innate expert.

Even if he couldn't win, escaping should have been no problem.

But now that Xianyou had fallen, it could only mean that Xianyou, the mid-stage Innate expert, couldn't even escape.

Kaden Yu was shocked upon hearing this. A Great Perfection Innate expert—no one here could stop such a person. Even with twenty thousand troops, it would be hard to withstand a charge led by a Great Perfection Innate expert.

"Rumble..."

From the distant plains came the thunderous sound of hooves, a grand and imposing momentum.

"Not good, that expert is leading troops to kill us," You Lin sensed a powerful aura.

Looking up, he saw a column of blood-red smoke rising and rolling towards them. The powerful blood aura made him tremble.

Another Innate expert also saw the blood-red smoke.

"Such terrifying blood aura, at least a Great Perfection Innate expert, maybe even close to breaking through to Grandmaster."

"Retreat, quickly retreat," Kaden Yu shouted.

He never expected the Peace Army to send a Great Perfection Innate expert to support them.

Kaden Yu led his men in a hasty retreat, completely ignoring the soldiers still attacking the city.

Seeing the Barbarian army fleeing, Oliver Sheng grew anxious. If they ran, how would he gather Kill Points?

"Hyah!"

He immediately sped up to catch up, hoping to leave behind part of the Barbarian army.

The Barbarian soldiers attacking the city suddenly heard the retreat horn and were confused. They were about to take River West County!

Turning back, they saw the army retreating, seemingly fleeing.

The Barbarian soldiers attacking the city panicked, abandoning the siege. Those who had climbed the walls found themselves unable to escape.

As the retreating Barbarian soldiers fled, those on the walls were left isolated and were slaughtered.

On the city walls, Cameron Guo, Magistrate Chen, and others saw the Barbarian army retreating and couldn't help but shout.

"They're retreating, the Barbarian army is retreating."

"We won, we won."

"Hahaha..."

"Barbarian scum, don't run, your grandpa hasn't killed enough yet," a burly man from the martial world spat blood as he spoke.

"Don't be reckless, if more Barbarian troops come, we'll all die here," another martial world person said.

"Hahaha, soldiers, we won," Magistrate Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"We won..."

On the city walls, cheers erupted, filled with the joy of victory.

Cameron Guo looked outside the city, seeing Colonel Oliver Sheng leading the troops in a charge towards the Barbarian army.

"Tribuni Guo, is that general Colonel Sheng?" Magistrate Chen asked, standing beside Cameron Guo.

Cameron Guo nodded, "Yes, that is our Colonel."

"Such a fierce general, no wonder he could write such heroic lines like 'Feast on Barbarian flesh when hungry, drink Hun blood when thirsty,'" Magistrate Chen sighed.

Though he was a scholar appointed as the County Magistrate of River West County, he couldn't compose such bold verses.

With Oliver Sheng leading the army, the situation stabilized, and now the Barbarian army was retreating.

Though they didn't know why the Barbarian army suddenly retreated.

Seeing he couldn't catch up with the Barbarian army, Oliver Sheng took out his bow. After all, he was still a Super Archer.

He locked onto an Innate expert, drew his bow, and infused all his True Qi into the arrow, concentrating his essence, energy, and spirit into one.

As the arrow shot out, those on the city walls saw a dazzling light streaking towards the Barbarian army.

The brilliant arrow light, like a meteor, carried terrifying destructive power as it pierced through the air.

"This is..."

"A Super Archer?" Magistrate Chen was shocked by the dazzling arrow.

Though Super Archers were rare, it didn't mean he hadn't seen one. Few specialized in archery, and even fewer reached the level of a Super Archer.

He never expected Oliver Sheng to be a Super Archer.

"Yes, our Colonel is a Super Archer," Cameron Guo smiled and nodded.

When a Super Archer took action, the target was doomed unless their realm was higher than the archer's, using overwhelming force to break the attack.

The arrow Oliver Sheng shot, unless intercepted by a Grandmaster, was certain to kill.

An Innate expert couldn't withstand his strongest arrow. Even a Great Perfection Innate expert would pay a heavy price to block it.

In the Barbarian army, Dang Kun felt a deep terror, as if a Grandmaster had locked onto him.

Having just broken through to the Innate stage, he was naturally chosen by Oliver Sheng. The arrow locked onto him.

Turning back, Dang Kun saw a terrifying light shooting towards him.

"It's over!"

Dang Kun's expression changed drastically. There was no way to dodge, no way to escape. This was an arrow shot by a Super Archer.

"What is it?"

Another Innate expert, You Lin, turned back and instantly felt his scalp tingle. This was a death arrow shot by an Innate realm Super Archer, filled with terrifying killing intent and power. If it locked onto him, he would also be doomed.

"Run!"

You Lin grabbed Kaden Yu, the prince, and fled desperately.

He never expected that the Great Wei's Innate expert was also a Super Archer. If he didn't run, he would die here.

"Ah!"

Dang Kun roared, his expression crazed. With no way to escape, he burned his essence blood to forcibly resist the arrow, hoping for a chance to survive.

"Boom..."

The blood aura and Innate protective shield were pierced through, the arrow embedding itself in his chest, pinning Dang Kun to the ground, blood staining the earth.

The surrounding Barbarian cavalry were blown away by the powerful True Qi, their internal organs shattered, dying instantly.

Seeing the Innate expert shot dead, the other Barbarian soldiers were terrified, fleeing even faster.

You Lin ran desperately, feeling the horse was too slow. He directly used True Qi to carry Kaden Yu and fled.

Kaden Yu, seeing Dang Kun shot dead, was stunned, his spirit shattered.

If that arrow had locked onto him, he would be dead.

On the city walls, Magistrate Chen and others, standing high, clearly saw the terrifying and stunning arrow kill an Innate expert, utterly shocked.

"Inn...Innate?" Magistrate Chen stuttered.

Cameron Guo's heart was also in turmoil, shocked beyond belief. Had Colonel Oliver Sheng broken through to the Innate realm?

How long had it been?

Oliver Sheng felt his Kill Points increase by sixty, knowing that the Innate expert he shot was dead, likely an early-stage Innate. After all, he had targeted the weaker of the two Innate experts.

Shooting an Innate expert consumed a lot of his essence, energy, and spirit, so he didn't target the other Innate expert.

Seeing he couldn't catch up with the Barbarian army, Oliver Sheng set his sights on the retreating Barbarian soldiers attacking the walls, numbering over a thousand.

"Don't engage, just surround those Barbarians. Don't steal my kills," Oliver Sheng instructed his soldiers.

"…"

Wesley Hu and the others couldn't believe their ears. Colonel Oliver Sheng actually told them not to steal his kills?!
