Starting at the Mass Grave, Every Slash Critical, Every Slash Blazing Fire

Great Xia Dynasty, Qingyang County.

"My name is Lin Feng, and I've transmigrated."

"And I might be about to die."

Lin Feng, while fleeing for his life, desperately tried to sort through the chaotic memories in his mind, tears welling up.

Just half an hour ago, he was still a diligent young man from the 21st century, pulling an all-nighter for his thesis.

But with one blink of his eyes, he found himself in this fantasy world where demons roamed and human lives were as cheap as grass. He had even become an intern constable in the Qingyang County yamen.

The kind that didn't even have official employment status.

Before he could even fully process the memories of this body's original owner, he was dragged along by the veteran constable "Old Wang" to pursue the notorious bandit "One-Eyed Dragon" who was wreaking havoc in the city.

Logically, a mere intern constable shouldn't be involved in capturing a fierce bandit.

But what could he do? The official constables in the yamen were either slacking off or on their way to slack off.

And so, Lin Feng, with zero experience in capturing criminals, was led by the "experienced" Old Wang, chasing the bandit from the east side of the city to the west.

Seeing the notorious Mass Grave in the west of the city not far ahead, Lin Feng's heart sank.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, let's slow down!"

Lin Feng gasped for breath as he grabbed Old Wang beside him, "We're approaching the Mass Grave ahead. That place is really eerie. It's best not to go in at night!"

Old Wang, whose real name was Wang Ermazi, was in his forties and a seasoned veteran in the yamen.

Upon hearing Lin Feng, he glanced at him dismissively.

"What are you afraid of! You and I are officers of the law, protected by our official aura. What kind of demons or spirits would dare approach us? That One-Eyed Dragon must be hiding in there in desperation. We must capture him today!"

With that, Old Wang took the lead, charging into the Mass Grave with great vigor.

Lin Feng felt helpless. Looking at Old Wang's frail legs, weakened by alcohol and women, he couldn't imagine where his "aura" was coming from.

But seniority ruled, and as an intern, he could only grit his teeth and follow.

As soon as they stepped into the Mass Grave, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.

Under the pale moonlight, solitary graves and burial mounds stood in disarray. The characters on the crooked tombstones were already blurred, and gusts of cold wind rustled the paper money on the ground, making a "swishing" sound, like the wailing of ghosts.

"Hiss... This place really isn't for humans." Lin Feng instinctively tightened his grip on the saber at his waist.

This saber was issued to him during his internship. It was said to be forged from Hundred Refined Steel and sharp enough to shave hair.

But in Lin Feng's opinion, it was barely sharper than a kitchen knife from his previous life.

"One-Eyed Dragon! You're surrounded! Surrender quickly!"

Old Wang shouted with all his might, his voice echoing in the desolate Mass Grave, sounding particularly jarring.

"Heh heh heh... Surrounded?"

Suddenly, a chilling laugh came from behind a dilapidated earthen grave, "With just the two of you useless sacks of potatoes?"

Before the voice finished, a burly figure suddenly lunged out – it was the fierce bandit One-Eyed Dragon!

The single eye he had left gleamed with bloodthirsty ferocity, and the large ring saber in his hand glinted in the moonlight.

"You're seeking death!" Old Wang, living up to his reputation as a veteran, had a sharp tongue. He drew his saber and charged forward.

Lin Feng quickly drew his saber as well, preparing to help.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar, unlike any human sound, suddenly erupted from the earthen grave behind One-Eyed Dragon!

The earthen grave exploded, sending dirt flying.

A living corpse, clad in tattered burial clothes, with dark blue skin and fingernails as sharp as knives, staggered to its feet.

Its hollow eye sockets burned with two balls of eerie green ghost fire, staring intently at the three living people before it.

"A... a zombie!"

The sinister grin on One-Eyed Dragon's face froze instantly, his single eye filled with endless terror.

He wanted to run, but his legs felt as heavy as lead, unable to move.

The zombie seemed more interested in One-Eyed Dragon. It stomped on the ground, its movements as swift as a ghost, and instantly appeared before One-Eyed Dragon.

Slash!

Its sharp claws, like knives, tore through One-Eyed Dragon's chest as easily as slicing through tofu.

Blood and internal organs spilled onto the ground.

The fierce bandit from the previous second was now a warm corpse, not even having time to let out a scream.

"De... demon!"

Old Wang was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. He turned and fled.

But his speed was no match for the zombie.

The zombie casually tossed One-Eyed Dragon's corpse aside, flickered its form, and caught up to Old Wang, swatting his back with a claw.

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering bones was clearly audible. Old Wang let out a scream as he flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground. Blood surged from his mouth, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.

In the blink of an eye, one was dead and one was severely injured.

In the entire Mass Grave, only Lin Feng and the zombie exuding a strong stench of decay remained.

"Gulp."

Lin Feng swallowed hard, feeling his heart about to leap out of his throat.

Where could he run?

He had personally witnessed the zombie's claws tear through Old Wang's constable uniform like paper.

His own scrawny body would probably just be cannon fodder if he went up.

What to do?

What to do?

Just as Lin Feng's mind went blank and the shadow of death completely enveloped him, a crisp mechanical voice sounded in his mind like heavenly music!

[Ding! Detected host facing a life-or-death crisis, Critical Strike System officially activated!]

[Any attack performed by the host can trigger a critical strike effect!]

[Initial critical strike multiplier: 2x!]

[Novice Gift Pack issued: 100 Critical Points! Can be used for critical strikes on martial arts, alchemy, artifact refining, etc., to increase proficiency!]

A system?!

Lin Feng was stunned at first, then ecstatic!

As expected, the essential cheat for transmigrators had arrived, albeit late!

"System, quickly! Add points for me!"

Lin Feng roared in his mind.

[Please host select the martial art requiring a critical strike.]

Lin Feng quickly searched the original owner's memories and discovered...

He only knew one martial art.

Basic Constable Saber Technique.

It was a common, run-of-the-mill skill that could be bought anywhere, with a total of three moves: Mountain Splitting Chop, Army Sweeping Slash, and White Rainbow Piercing Sun.

The names were imposing, but in reality, they were just chopping down, slashing sideways, and thrusting forward.

Whatever common trash it was, anything that could save his life now was good!

"That's the one! Give it a critical strike!"
