Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 2: The night of killing

Walking out of the woodshed, he locked the door, stalling for time as much as possible. The later those bandits were aware of the fact that he had killed their people and escaped, the more advantageous it was for him.

The current him was racing against the time.

Lin Yi found a place with higher ground and hid there. He carefully observed the entire Black Wind Stockade, engraving the location of bandit patrols and sentry guards in his mind.

Although he was in hurry, but even chopping woods required one to sharpen his blade first, not to mention killing someone. Adding the the fact Lin Yi had a greater ambition, which was to exterminate all the bandits in Black Wind Stockade.

Under the situation of incapable of martial arts, what Lin Yi relied on was his wonderful battle experience and sneak attacks.

If he were to face them head-on, even he had to admit, he wasn't their opponent with his current capabilities.

Counting the number again, the bandits in Black Wind Stockade numbered around a hundred. His brain was now generating various sneak attack plans and operation routes. The current Lin Yi was like a killing machine, his brain revolved furiously while calm to a terrifying point.

Decided on his course of action, he slipped down from the roof like a slithering snake, without any sound at all.

His first target was the treasury where the bandits stored their weapons. Seeing there wasn't any movements there, he sneaked to somewhere nearby the treasury.

Despite his beginner level attributes, with his wonderful experience, sneaking without being discovered by these bandits who practised superficial martial arts wasn't something hard.

Two guards with saber on their hands stood at the treasury's door, seemingly bored and lazy. Lin Yi sneered in his heart, "A motley crowd, who will die if you don't?"

Sky gradually darkened, black clouds approached, soon it was nightfall.

It was at this time!

"Pa!"

Lin Yi picked up a rock and tossed it towards the bandits.

"Who's there?"

Two bandit guards' expressions changed. They took up their saber and moved towards to the landing point of the rock. This kind of reaction was somewhat acceptable.

However, whom they are facing wasn't someone ordinary. As one of the five God-ranked player, Lin Yi had keen sense of battle to an extraordinary level.

Within the span of a few seconds, Lin Yi managed to sneak past behind the two bandits, raised his sabre and slashed at the necks of the bandits.

Pu pu!

Heads rolled on the ground!

Two huge heads fell off!

System Notification

Combat evaluation : Grade A

Rewards : 200 combat experience points

Lin Yi didn't bother with the notification, he quickly found the key to the treasury, opened it and dashed in hurriedly.

A variety of weapons were displayed messily: sabers, swords, spears, daggers, bows, etc.

There were even armors in there!

But most of them were beginner equipment of iron grade, none of which attracted Lin Yi. He chose a bow, tested it, and put it on his back satisfiedly along with a quiver filled with arrows. Afterwards, he threw his saber to a side and grabbed a dagger in his hand.

"A dagger is more suited for sneak attacks after all!"

Playing with the dagger on his hand, he nodded in satisfaction, turned his body and left the treasury.

Now that he had eaten to his fill, fully armed, it was the right time to begin slaughtering in the middle of the night!

Inside the assembly hall of Black Wind Stockade, fire was lit. The illuminating light shone brightly within the hall.

Yet outside the assembly hall, was filled with darkness.

Under the darkness of the night, killing acts were executed on various places in Black Wind Stockade!

A thin figure, as agile as a cat, moved without slightest sound. With a dagger on his hand, each time he met his targets, like a tiger's descent, his movement was rapid yet powerful. In the blink of an eye, a number of bandits had died under him!

Either slitting throats or stabbing the heart, all of them were one-hit kill!

One silhouette after another fell under his dagger. Under the darkness of the night, Black Wind Stockade became quieter, one's silhouette decrease over time.

Every time after Lin Yi finished killing, he would turn away right away, continuing his slaughter.

Unexpectedly, none of the bandits felt something unusual. In the end, there were only seven or eight bandits guarding the assembly hall left in the entire Black Wind Stockade. The rest of them had all fallen under that poisonous snake-like dagger!

A shadow appeared somewhere nearby assembly hall.

Staring at the brightly lit assembly hall, Lin Yin showed a trace of excitement. All these killing made him smell a familiar smell. To someone who had battled countless time, a God-ranked player with wonderful experience like him,

Battle had became one of his instinct!

Only battle could make him feel he was still alive. It also enabled him to find the meaning of his existence.

Furthermore, were those people died under his hand really real lives?

That kind of feeling wasn't something could be imitated by game.

Afterall, a game was still a game, however real it might feel, it was different from reality.

If those bandits were really real, then killing them might leave uneasiness in heart.

But Lin Yin didn't feel like this. In his eyes, the existence of these bandits was a disaster, killing them was helping citizens getting rid of scourges!

They simply didn't have the qualification to live in this world!

Licking his dry lips, Lin Yin stared at the bandits guarding the assembly hall. His eyes shone like a bloodthirsty wolf. After he regained a bit of his strength, he took down the bow on his back, nocked an arrow and shot it!

Inside the assembly hall

"Escort Chief Lin, I respect you as the well-known Tiger of the Jungle', so I won't blame you. If you want to bring back the young master of your Lin Family, then tell Squire Lin, Lin Zhilong to bring money to redeem his son. Other than this, no need to negotiate! "

Sitting on the main seat, the Chief of Black Wind Stockade talked without any trace of politeness to the middle-aged man clad in the attire of an escort chief below.

This middle-aged man clad in the attire of an escort chief, was the Second Master of Lin Family, in other words, Lin Yi's uncle, Lin Zhihu.

When he knew his son was kidnapped by the bandits of Black Wind Stockade, Squire Lin, Lin Zhilong immediately contacted his brother who was also the escort chief of Dragon Escort Agency, Lin Zhihu.

Afterall, Lin Zhihu was someone from pugilistic world. Pugilistic world affairs were more appropriate to be solved by someone from pugilistic world.

Knowing his nephew had been kidnapped by fierce bandits of Black Wind Stockade, Lin Zhihu rushed back from the escort agency. After he made clear out of the situation, he rushed to Black Wind Stockade to negotiate with the bandit chief.

From early in the morning until nightfall, the Chief of Black Wind Stockade never mentioned of releasing the hostage, only mentioned money. This made Lin Zhihu really furious.

As a dignified escort chief of Dragon Escort Agency, he still had considerable network in pugilistic world, yet a bandit didn't give him face! This almost made him go mad. If not for the fact that his nephew was in the hands of this bandit chief, Lin Zhihu almost wanted to draw his blade at him, so that the Chief of Black Wind Stockade would know his title of "Tiger of the Jungle", wasn't an undeserved reputation.

He said while forcefully restraining his anger, "We, the Dragon Escort Agency, are all over the world, a well-known escort agency in pugilistic world. Even friends from pugilistic world would give me face when they see me. I'm curious why would Chief make things difficult for us? Don't tell me that Black Wind Stockade want to be enemies with Dragon Escort Agency?"

"No no no, why would we, Black Wind Stockade, want to be enemies of Dragon Escort Agency? I'm afraid even adding up our entire brothers in this stockade wouldn't be enough for you, Dragon Escort Agency Head Chief, to hack at. This matter has no relation with Dragon Escort Agency. It's just that we brothers are lacking in money, so we want to find Lin Family to help us with our living. With tens of thousands of hectares of farmland, Lin Family can't be possibly can't take out mere five thousand taels? I don't believe it!" The Chief of Black Wind Stockade laughed while shaking his head. With regards to such backing like Dragon Escort Agency mentioned by Lin Zhihu, he didn't cower at all.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to offend monsters like Dragon Escort Agency. But the situation was different now. With the comeback of evil cults, the great war of pugilistic world was approaching. Various righteous factions were busy saving lives in various places. How would they have the time to manage Black Wind Stockade affairs?

Dragon Escort Agency had Huashan as its backing. He was fully aware of this thing. Otherwise, without the support of a major faction, Dragon Escort Agency wouldn't be able to grow this big.

But this incident, to Huashan or to Dragon Escort Agency, had very little significance. It was just kidnapping a rich son of commoners afterall.

To people of pugilistic world, commoners? They weren't people from the same world. Their existence had very low meaning, almost next to none!

The only trouble was that this commoner had some connections with people from pugilistic world.

"So, Chief's meaning is that you won't give me, Lin Zhihu, face. That you won't release him?" Lin Zhihu's face darkened.

The bandit chief shook his hand, with a look of impatience, "No rooms for negotiation, five thousand taels as ransom!"

"Heng, I got it. Tomorrow I will bring five thousand taels to redeem him, this debt of Black Wind Stockade, I will remember it!" The furious Lin Zhihu bade his farewell, left his words and was planning to leave.

Yet he saw a bandit covered with blood, walked in with a stagger, an arrow stabbed deeply in his chest and looked anxious, then said with a weak voice, "Bad news, Chief. A ruthless person with unknown origin slaughtered into our stockade. Our brothers suffered heavy loss. Almost all of our brothers had died!"

After he finished talking, he spit out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and died!

"What?!"

The bandit chief stood up furiously, "I would like to see which expert dare to run wild in my Black Wind Stockade, killing my brothers!"

He drew a blade from the wall next to him, led the remaining bandits in the assembly hall to the outside. Lin Zhihu was gloating over it, with a trace of curiosity, and walked out of the hall, wanting to see who was the culprit.

Outside of the assembly hall, five to six corpses laid down on the ground. Each corpse had an arrow stabbed on their heart.

All of them died with one shot!

This scene made the bandits who rushed out of the hall changed their expressions, their scalp numbed, their fine hairs stood on end!

Even Lin Zhihu nodded in his heart, this person was indeed an expert of bows!

"AHH!"

Right at this moment, an arrow came out of nowhere, without any trace, struck the last remaining bandit outside the hall!

Ta ta ta!

A youth walked out from the shadow, with bow on his hand, seemingly cold.

"It's you?"

The bandit chief and Lin Zhihu saw the face of the youth, with an unbelievable expression.

That youth was none other than Lin Yi!

"Uncle Hu!" Seeing Lin Zhihu, Lin Yi's cold face let out a smile and called out to him sweetly.

"How is this possible?!"

Lin Zhihu rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe that ruthless person who slaughtered almost all Black Wind Stockade bandits was indeed his kidnapped nephew. He was so shocked to the point of unable to speak anything.
