Kidney-Stabbing Divine Hand

This is a world of martial arts. Ordinary soldiers are basically Martial Disciples, and many Xiongnu soldiers are stronger than him.

When picking a fight, you have to pick on the weak. Sheng Huai'an started acting like Old Six.

Seeing that others were fighting and couldn't be distracted, Sheng Huai'an went behind a Xiongnu soldier and stabbed him in the left side.

"You?!"

The Xiongnu soldier looked back at Sheng Huai'an, blood flowing from his mouth.

What a true Old Six!

With one strike to the kidneys, the Xiongnu soldier died in frustration.

He never would have imagined that one day he would die from being stabbed in the kidneys.

The allied soldier opposite him felt a chill in his own waist upon seeing Sheng Huai'an so cleanly and efficiently stab kidneys.

Sheng Huai'an smiled at him, but he didn't have time for pleasantries as he continued to look for his next victim.

No, his next target!

Looking at Sheng Huai'an's innocent smile, he couldn't help but shiver and decided to stay far away from this person.

Sheng Huai'an saw a Xiongnu soldier who had just climbed onto the city wall, only his head showing.

He took a step forward, his blade as fast as the wind. Before the Xiongnu soldier could even draw his saber, Sheng Huai'an had already killed him with one strike, sending him falling off the city wall.

A Xiongnu soldier saw Sheng Huai'an guarding the parapet and raised his saber to hack at him.

The Xiongnu army that had stormed the city wall's main objective was to protect the parapet, allowing more Xiongnu soldiers to climb onto the wall and seize control of it.

Then they would kill their way down, open the city gates, and let the main army pass through.

Seeing the enemy charging, Sheng Huai'an raised his saber and attacked. He had no strategy or technique, relying entirely on brute force.

This Xiongnu enemy was only at the early stage of Martial Disciple. He was quickly forced to retreat by Sheng Huai'an. Sheng Huai'an seized the opportunity and killed him with one saber strike.

Two more Xiongnu enemies climbed up to the parapet just now. Seeing Sheng Huai'an kill their comrades, they joined forces and charged at Sheng Huai'an with fierce eyes.

Having killed several enemies in succession, Sheng Huai'an's blood boiled, and his confidence soared. Naturally, he was not afraid and faced the two alone.

Soon, Sheng Huai'an began to feel the strain. Without saber techniques, hand-to-hand combat skills, or much combat experience, he was gradually falling into a disadvantage, relying solely on brute force.

With one saber strike, Wang Wu killed an enemy, his blade still dripping blood. He saw Sheng Huai'an being surrounded and falling into a disadvantage.

"Hold on, Brother Huai'an, your brother is coming to help you."

Wang Wu quickly stepped forward, engaging one enemy and helping Sheng Huai'an relieve some pressure.

With Wang Wu's help to break the siege, Sheng Huai'an's pressure was instantly reduced.

"Damn it, they're bullying me because I don't know saber techniques and have no experience, right?" Sheng Huai'an seized the opportunity and attacked the enemy fiercely.

Now facing one enemy, Sheng Huai'an launched a fierce offensive. After ten rounds, he killed the Xiongnu enemy with one saber strike.

Meanwhile, Wang Wu had already killed his opponent and was now locked in a fierce battle with a new Xiongnu enemy.

Wang Wu's saber techniques and footwork were both sharp and agile, completely unlike Sheng Huai'an, who only relied on brute force.

Seeing this, Sheng Huai'an decided that once he repelled the enemy, he would seek out the veteran soldiers to learn saber techniques, footwork, and hand-to-hand combat skills.

Otherwise, with just his realm and strength, he would be somewhat unable to cope when facing enemies who were at the same level or stronger than him.

"Kill!!"

On the city wall, the shouts of killing were deafening, with sword light and saber shadows everywhere. The Xiongnu enemy was still climbing the city wall at all costs.

Facing the ever-increasing number of Xiongnu enemies, the defenders also began to send reinforcements to block them.

Sheng Huai'an had learned his lesson; it was safer to attack the kidneys from behind.

Seeing a Xiongnu enemy fighting with an allied soldier, he found an opportune moment and struck with his saber, fast, accurate, and ruthless, directly piercing the kidneys.

Soon, the number of Xiongnu enemies who died from kidney stabs exceeded ten.

"Ch!"

After stabbing a Xiongnu enemy to death with one saber strike, Sheng Huai'an skillfully pulled his saber out of the enemy's waist.

"Thanks, brother, but your way of killing is quite... unique." Zuo Gu said thankfully as he watched his opponent being killed by Sheng Huai'an, but his gaze towards Sheng Huai'an was somewhat strange.

How could someone specifically target people's kidneys? Did he have some peculiar fetish?

"You're welcome. We're all comrades, fighting together to defend the country." Sheng Huai'an said with a wide, toothy grin.

After speaking, Sheng Huai'an didn't continue talking with Zuo Gu. Now was the time to hunt Xiongnu enemies and gain kill points.

Watching Sheng Huai'an once again target the Xiongnu enemy's kidneys, Zuo Gu couldn't help but shiver and silently mourned for the Xiongnu soldiers in his heart.

Sheng Huai'an thus roamed the battlefield, finding opportunities to stab one enemy at a time.

Seeing Zhang Da Niu locked in a fierce battle with a Xiongnu enemy, pushing the enemy back step by step and unable to attend to anything else, Sheng Huai'an picked up his saber and found the right moment.

With a swift movement, his saber plunged into the enemy's waist.

The Xiongnu enemy looked at the saber in his waist, then at Sheng Huai'an, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Despicable scoundrel, you're ambushing! You have no martial ethics..."

Sheng Huai'an apologized, "On the battlefield, the goal is to kill the enemy. Who cares if it's a sneak attack?"

He pulled his blade out, almost taking the opponent's kidney with it.

Zhang Da Niu's mouth twitched as he watched. The seemingly refined Sheng Huai'an was so twisted inside, always targeting people's kidneys.

"Brother Huai'an, the battlefield is dangerous, you have to be careful," Zhang Da Niu warned.

Targeting people's kidneys like that was sure to make enemies.

"Heh heh, thanks for the reminder, Brother Da Niu. I know," Sheng Huai'an said with a simple smile.

"..."

Looking at Sheng Huai'an's smile, Zhang Da Niu really wanted to say, "Brother Huai'an, maybe you should stop smiling. It's creepy."

After their brief encounter, Sheng Huai'an resumed his kidney-stabbing endeavors.

This chaotic melee was a great opportunity for him to pick off stragglers. He needed to kill more enemies to accumulate kill points and improve himself.

The battle continued until dusk. The Xiongnu enemy forces who had climbed the city walls were all killed on the walls by the defenders, preventing the Xiongnu army from taking the ramparts.

Seeing that they couldn't take the city walls, the Xiongnu army sounded the retreat.

Watching the Xiongnu army withdraw like a tide, Sheng Huai'an looked at his saber, which had already developed nicks.

The city walls, both above and below, were piled high with corpses, belonging to both Xiongnu enemies and defenders.

At this moment, the Xiongnu sent small detachments to collect the bodies of their fallen soldiers.

Both sides entered a tacit understanding of a ceasefire to collect their dead.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

The north wind howled, and the banners on the city walls fluttered.

The fiery sun shone upon the land, casting a crimson hue.

Looking at the retreating Xiongnu army, the defenders did not cheer or show any joy. Instead, their faces were filled with solemnity.

Sheng Huai'an gazed at the setting sun, then at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, moving body after body.

The Xiongnu soldiers' corpses were simply carried and thrown off the city walls. They didn't have the kindness to collect the bodies of their enemies.

Once thrown off the walls, the Xiongnu would naturally come to collect their dead.

Blood stained the flagstones of the city walls, and in the glow of the setting sun, it evoked an indescribable feeling.

"The setting sun is like blood, the moon like a hook; so many loyal souls buried in late autumn!"

"Stop with that pretentious scholar nonsense. Let's go, back to the ranks," an old soldier shouted at Sheng Huai'an.

Sheng Huai'an put away his melancholy and followed the old soldier and the others away from the city walls. It was time for a shift change; other battalions would now defend the walls.

On the way back to the barracks, Sheng Huai'an noticed that out of the ten men led by the old soldier, four were missing.

This meant that four of their comrades had died in the afternoon's battle.

The journey back was silent for everyone.

The battlefield was like a meat grinder, constantly grinding lives within it.

They didn't know when their own turn would come to fall.
