Thirteen Staffs of Life Taking?

The Garbage Dump Garbage Mountain in South District is different from ordinary Landfill Area. After years of landfilling, it has formed a rather solid mountainous landscape.

Because of the presence of a "melting pot" inside, the collapse in the center is often more severe than that in the outer areas, resulting in a unique landform where the center consists of various valleys, while the outer areas are characterized by towering mountains.

If you ignore the fact that the ground beneath your feet is compacted by all sorts of garbage, the environment here is actually no different from any other barren mountain community lacking vegetation.

There are rolling hills, deep valleys formed by Ground Collapse, winding mountain paths, and caves that are either man-made or naturally formed.

Some entrances are reinforced and supported by humans, making them look like mine shafts, and in fact they are quite similar. This is because the garbage that falls from the four major Landfill Area is often very messy, but garbage from the same world is usually buried together. Over time, it accumulates and is pressed under the mountain. Sometimes, due to accidental reasons such as mountain sinkholes, this garbage is discovered, and relevant people will start mining.

Ultimately, this is no different from mineral deposits in geological strata; the only difference is that what's mined from the outside is natural minerals, while what's mined here is garbage from some other world...

"Another empty pit..." Feng Xue looked at the end of the passage that was now completely blocked by garbage, shook her head helplessly, and turned around to return the way she came.

Such mines are often interconnected, and after being abandoned, they frequently become Omen or hiding places for newcomers who refuse to become slaves.

Feng Xue went into the mine to farm monsters, but whether it was due to bad luck or because the place was close to the airport, several places he searched were empty.

"Looks like I'll have to try going deeper into the area," Feng Xue muttered as she walked back the way she came.

"Newbie, you won't find anything good here! Your clothes look nice, so hand them over obediently and I'll take you to a better place!"

A slightly affected voice appeared in the mine along with several shadows. Feng Xue's lips curled up. Of course, he wasn't naive enough to think that there could really be any Omen left in these abandoned mines on the outskirts, but he knew that as long as he went into these mines, someone would definitely treat him as a novice.

The mine itself is a perfect place to ambush people.

Looking at the five or six guys who had completely blocked the entrance, Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, and information about them began to surface.

"Oh? There are even warrior- Tag and Fine Grade Phantom Object!" Feng Xue's lips curled up. After confirming that the enemy's Combat Power was within his control, he immediately let go of the cloak he was holding and charged forward before they could say anything more.

The first sword!

The short blade that sprang from her wrist had an attack range even shorter than a dagger, but at this moment, Feng Xue's entire arm became an extension of the blade. With a straight thrust that was devoid of any fancy moves, there was no blood splattering as before.

"Go!" The leader, who had parried with his machete, shouted. His four henchmen immediately swung their weapons and charged at Feng Xue. Despite this, Feng Xue showed no sign of panic.

The Thirteen Swords of Life Taking is Sword Technique derived from killing. The first sword is the most efficient assassination strike summarized after countless practices, while the second sword is a variation to deal with various problems when the first sword fails.

Seeing the weapons aimed at different parts of his body, Feng Xue twisted his body slightly. The [Acuity] attribute brought by the [Assassin] allowed him to clearly judge the most lethal attack. As his arms twisted, the blade of the Blade of Suffocation sliced across his two wrists and simultaneously pierced the kidney of the thug closest to him.

And then...

The third sword!

The subsequent changes after the second sword strike had already deviated from the manual itself.

Ultimately, apart from the first sword Sword Technique, which is a tangible sword move, each subsequent sword strike describes the variations that should be made if the previous strike failed to kill all the enemies.

Each sword strike complements the previous one, and when this Sword Technique has exhausted all its variations, that is the moment it blossoms and bears fruit.

Theoretically speaking, everyone's fifteenth sword is different, but all these countless differences point to the same future.

How to kill all enemies more efficiently.

Feng Xue changed her moves three times and had already killed two of her underlings. Of the remaining two, one had his wrist severed and had already dropped his weapon, but Feng Xue had no intention of stopping. She dodged the leader's powerful split attack and her sword, like Poisonous Snake, traced a strange arc and grazed his throat.

Blood spurted out, but the opponent did not fall immediately. Although somewhat surprised, Feng Xue did not hesitate at all. While using her body to kill another person, she thrust out her fifth sword with her low body.

He could clearly sense that the Sword Technique techniques were secondary; the key was the killing intent that accumulated after each strike. The more unable to kill the opponent, the stronger the killing intent and ferocity became. And under the nourishment of this killing intent and ferocity, even more terrifying killing moves would be born.

It's not just about endless variations in technique, but also about the determination to kill the enemy!

Even the most foolish soldier would realize he'd kicked a hornet's nest at this point, but wounded by the Blade of Suffocation, he couldn't even let out a roar.

Seeing the blow aimed straight at his heart, the "[Born to Die]" element in the [Warrior] Tag suddenly activated. His eyes became bloodshot, and his muscles swelled up. He gripped the cleaver with both hands, and his immense power slammed towards Feng Xue like a warhammer.

However, Feng Xue did not stop. Instead, she lowered her True Qi, sending it from the Chongmen acupoint to the Yinbai acupoint. With the power of her legs, Feng Xue's speed increased. The seemingly fragile Blade of Suffocation in her hand actually pressed down on the large cleaver. Using the Sword Washing technique (Note ①), she deflected the force, flicked the tip of the sword, and three fingers immediately broke free from the hilt.

The soldier was quite tough; despite losing three fingers, he didn't let out a single scream. Instead, he clenched his fists, and blood spurted out from the severed fingers, splattering directly onto Feng Xue's face.

"How does it feel to blindfold myself with blood?"

The soldier raised his broadsword, and Feng Xue, whose eyes were already bloodshot, suddenly retracted his ring finger. The Blade of Suffocation immediately sprang from his wrist and embedded itself firmly in the soldier's wrist. At the same time, an Unspeakable Rod-shaped Object slid out from his sleeve. With a sound of bones shattering, the sharp end of the red-headed crowbar pierced the soldier's mouth and protruded from the back of his head.

"As expected, the attack range of using Sleeve Blade to perform assassination-type Sword Technique is still too short. Even if I comprehend the seventh sword, the attack range is still insufficient... But the Thirteen Staffs of Life Taking are too strange. Let's try using the Disassembly Madonna. Or, perhaps I should find an opportunity to see if I can forge a sword?"
