Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 67 - 67 67 Sword Hero Thanks to the alliance leader 'Arrow in the Knee Tie Muer' for the reward

67: Chapter 67: Sword Hero (Thanks to the alliance leader ‘Arrow in the Knee Tie Muer’ for the reward) 67: Chapter 67: Sword Hero (Thanks to the alliance leader ‘Arrow in the Knee Tie Muer’ for the reward) Lin Xing returned to his room and saw the Puppet Girl lying on her bed with a cat doll, looking entirely worn out.

“Master Bai, you’re practicing again?” Lin Xing reminded, “The God Attachment Skill says you mustn’t practice too vigorously each day.

Otherwise, it harms the spirit and the mind, hindering your progress instead.”

Bai Yiyi’s voice responded weakly, “Good disciple, you’ve never been a doll.

You don’t understand; I’m feeling anxious.”

Lin Xing nodded upon hearing this, “Then be careful.

In a couple of days, I’m going out to eliminate evil and purge the unrighteous.

You should come with me.”

“Ah?” Bai Yiyi, thinking about being ridden by Lin Xing, said unwillingly, “Lin Xing, how about in the future, I just let you ride me around the courtyard?

There are too many people outside, let’s just forget about it.”

Naturally, Lin Xing wouldn’t force her.

“I understand, Master Bai.

From now on, I won’t ride you when there are too many people around, okay?”

Bai Yiyi nodded repeatedly, “We have a deal then.”

After discussing the upcoming plans with Bai Yiyi, Lin Xing walked over to a chest and began to select the techniques he would need to learn for the next stage from the Daoist books.

“According to the memories I’ve regained, among the choices for the second legacy, the combat capability of the ‘Sword Hero’ is the strongest.

It’s high attack and low defense, making it the most suitable legacy for me.”

Thinking about the requirements to master the Sword Hero legacy, Lin Xing picked a few Daoist Books from the ones in front of him.

“To master the Sword Hero legacy, one needs to undergo four specific enhancements.”

“Unfortunately, the ‘Endless Fu Sea’ that I enhanced with my talisman skills isn’t among these four specific enhancements.”

In Lin Xing’s mind, the revived memories continuously revealed information about various Daoist techniques.

Although he no longer remembered how he had practiced these techniques, he could discern from his revived memories that these techniques had the potential to be enhanced into the results needed for the Sword Hero legacy.

“Each technique has many different enhancement results, similar to the talisman skill enhancements that yielded ‘frugal living, Endless Fu Sea’…”

“The four specific enhancements required for the Sword Hero legacy are ‘Omnivision, Heavenly Sword Talent, Divided Consciousness Transformation, and Boundless Qi Sea.'”

“According to the information currently in my mind, there are likely dozens of techniques that could potentially be enhanced into these four results.”

Lin Xing was considering the techniques he had mastered while flipping through the Daoist Books in front of him, summarizing in his mind:

“The ‘Sword Heart Sympathy’ from Purple Sun Temple can be enhanced into Heavenly Sword Talent.

Together with the ‘Sitting Meditation’ I’ve already learned, which enhances into Boundless Qi Sea, and the ‘Object Manipulation Skill’ into Divided Consciousness Transformation, these three meet the requirements for the Sword Hero legacy.”

Of course, Lin Xing knew that for others, these might only be possibilities, but for someone with the superpower to reverse time and use sinister relics for enhancement like him, it was an inevitability.

“This way, I can secure three techniques.”

But even after searching through the Daoist Books in front of him, combining with the memories in his mind, Lin Xing couldn’t find the last technique he needed to satisfy the Sword Hero legacy.

“I can’t muster the final technique right now.

I can only hope to find it during the upcoming evil-purging mission.”

After determining his cultivation plan for the next stage, Lin Xing began memorizing the cultivation method of Sword Heart Sympathy, preparing it for future practice.

Others busied themselves in and out, preparing for the coming war in every way they could.

Yet Lin Xing spent his days at home honing his techniques, or writing talisman paper, and in the blink of an eye, the day came for the army to depart.

Object Manipulation Skill (Level 1 51%) → Object Manipulation Skill (Level 1 51.3%)

…

In the past few days, the army set off one after another.

Under Commander Zhang’s direction, they targeted several strongholds within Dongya Prefecture that were colluding with the evil cults and local forces.

Their ultimate destination was Upper River County to the north, where reportedly a large number of cult disciples and local believers were gathering.

The entire county had seemingly become a stronghold of the Heavenly Will Sect.

On this day, Lin Xing arrived on a plain outside the city and saw that the thousands of troops they had brought were ready to go.

Zhu Fen was giving a pep talk to his men.

When Zhu Fen saw Lin Xing appear, he walked over with a cheerful smile and exchanged pleasantries.

Upon noticing the beautiful girl by Lin Xing’s side, hugging a doll, he couldn’t help but take a couple of extra glances.

After conversing with Lin Xing, he could sense that Zhu Fen seemed unwilling to easily relinquish command of the troops.

However, Lin Xing was completely indifferent to this, casually saying, “I don’t know much about leading troops into battle, so I’ll leave that to you.

Just let me know when you need my help.”

After a moment of thought, Lin Xing added, “You can hand over the most dangerous and difficult parts to me.

I’m someone who likes dangerous missions.”

Hearing Lin Xing’s words, Zhu Fen, who had prepared many strategies to marginalize him, was slightly taken aback, apparently not expecting this outcome.

Watching Lin Xing settle into the carriage honestly and not come out again, Zhu Fen thought to himself, “This kid…

actually knows his place, looks like he understands he lacks the experience to command respect, and he’s not even trying to interfere with my command?”

With this thought, Zhu Fen couldn’t help but feel pleased.

So, shortly afterward, the troops set out, with Lin Xing’s carriage following at the rear.

Seeing that Lin Xing remained quietly seated in his carriage and did not come out, Zhu Fen felt even more at ease, thinking, “It seems this kid really doesn’t dare to fight me for control, which is good.”

Thinking it over, he instructed an officer beside him, “Tell Lin Xing we’ll go ahead first and wait for him at Linked Ring Fort.”

Linked Ring Fort was the ultimate destination for their troops.

Zhu Fen then led the troops to hasten their march, leaving Lin Xing’s carriage behind.

He thought to himself, “Hmph, I’ll lead the troops and seize Linked Ring Fort before him, to show my brother-in-law and sister that my abilities, Zhu Fen, are not inferior to Lin Xing’s.”

Two days later, Zhu Fen led the troops to the front of Linked Ring Fort.

An officer by his side, looking at the formidable mountainous terrain, said to Zhu Fen, “General, Linked Ring Fort is situated high in the mountains, with five forts backing each other like the corners of a horn formation, positioned on steep terrain, easy to defend but hard to attack.”

“General, look at the narrow mountain paths ahead and behind; even at their widest, they can barely accommodate seven people walking side by side.

It’s truly a situation where one man can hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.”

“According to the scouts’ reports, the mountain inhabitants of all five forts have converted to a heretical sect, occasionally descending to plunder merchant caravans, and whenever the army sets out to eliminate them, they escape back into the mountains…”

Zhu Fen sneered and said, “Watch as I, the general, shatter Linked Ring Fort today.”

Zhu Fen then directed the troops to set up camp while ordering his men to select fifty elite soldiers, planning for them to climb the cliffs and surprise the enemy, breaking through the fort gates during the key moment of battle.

However, shortly after the combat began, the elite climbers were discovered by the mountain inhabitants, who were well-prepared.

With the sound of a light ‘thwack’ slicing through the air, one of the soldiers was hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff.

Then, one after another, the deadly arrows descended like lightning from the sky, each one inevitably claiming the life of a soldier.

The archer stood atop the watchtower of the fort, and after killing more than twenty climbers in one breath, he aimed his longbow at the front line of the battlefield.

Then one could see the arrows flying like black lightning, streaking across the sky.

With each sound of the bowstring, a life was taken.

Any soldier who showed the slightest bit of their head was immediately shot through by an arrow, nailed dead to the ground.

Originally, the terrain of Linked Ring Fort was naturally strong, and the path in front of the fort gates could only accommodate seven or eight people standing shoulder to shoulder.

Now, with dozens of their comrades cruelly shot dead, the entire battlefield slowed down, and the terror instilled by the onslaught caused the soldiers, who had just been ready to bravely storm the fort, to become fearful of advancing.
