The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Chapter 800 "Night Shadow" Stealth, Heroine Unleashes Her Power

The night was as dark as ink, and Lin Xue finally drifted off to sleep before dawn, but her dreams were still filled with images of war and battle. When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the cracks in the tent, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze now devoid of any sleepiness, only sharp and calmed by the trials of life and death.

After a quick wash, Lin Xue stepped out of the tent. The air was thick with the faint smell of blood and burnt vegetation, but even more so with a resilient spirit born of survival. The soldiers were already packing their gear and cleaning their weapons, preparing for the march. Her sister, Lin Ping, the commander of the force, stood on high ground, her brow furrowed as she studied the map, while several other officers around her whispered amongst themselves.

Lin Xue stepped forward, and Lin Ping looked up and saw her, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes: "Xue-mei, did you get a good rest last night?"

"Don't worry, sister, she's alright now." Lin Xue nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the map. "Where should we go next?"

Lin Ping pointed to a narrow mountain pass on the map: "According to the scouts, although the main force of the rebels has suffered heavy losses, a portion of their elite troops are still fleeing southwest, attempting to join forces with another rebel group. We must intercept them before they cross the 'One Line Sky,' otherwise, if the two forces merge, it will be even more difficult to quell the rebellion."

“A narrow passage…” Lin Xue repeated the place name, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. “It’s a place that’s easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they have already taken the lead and occupied the advantageous terrain, our strong attack will result in heavy losses.”

“That’s exactly right,” a lieutenant replied. “The general’s idea is for Miss Lin Xue to lead an elite squad to infiltrate first, using the terrain to their advantage to harass and snipe the rebels, delaying their movements and buying time for the main force to arrive before encircling them.”

Lin Xue understood that this was another dangerous mission. To infiltrate first meant venturing deep into enemy territory alone, facing an enemy several times their size. But without hesitation, she said in a deep voice, "This humble general is willing to go!"

Looking into her sister's determined eyes, Lin Ping felt both pride and worry. She patted Lin Xue's shoulder: "Xue-mei, be careful. Your mission is to delay, not annihilate. Remember, preserving yourselves is crucial to completing the mission. How many people do you need?"

“Fifty ‘Night Shadows’ will suffice,” Lin Xue said. “Night Shadows” is a special female unit within the military, composed of women from the Lin family, including Lin Ping and Lin Xue. These female special forces soldiers are aged between eight and thirteen, all at least at the Earth Realm level. They specialize in assassination and infiltration, and are elite female warriors trained by the Lin family. They are selected from among the female warriors of the Lin family's concubine daughters or affiliated families. Lin Ping transferred them from her family after Lin Xue joined the army to strengthen her direct-line personal guard. They are all agile and skilled in stealth, assassination, and mountain warfare. Since Lin Xue advanced to the peak of the Earth Realm, she has led and trained them. Even the lowest-ranking among them is at the Lesser Completion of the Earth Realm, making them a top-tier special forces female soldier unit!

"Okay!" Lin Ping nodded. "Let's set off immediately!"

An hour later, fifty members of the "Night Shadow" team, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, carrying longbows and short crossbows, and with sharp blades at their waists, had assembled. Lin Xue, in a black strapless leather armor, appeared even more slender, her long legs particularly striking, her eyes cold as ice. She didn't say anything more, only making a "depart" gesture, and the fifty figures disappeared into the forest like ghosts.

They avoided main roads, choosing instead rugged and difficult trails, scaling cliffs and traversing deep valleys at an astonishing speed. Lin Xue, with her exceptional memory and keen sense of terrain, always managed to find the most hidden and fastest routes.

As dusk fell, Lin Xue's team finally arrived near the First Line of Sky. It truly lived up to its reputation; two steep peaks rose abruptly from the ground, leaving only a narrow passage between them, barely wide enough for one person or one horse to pass through. It was truly a place where "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand."

Lin Xue signaled her team members to take cover, while she herself crawled behind a boulder and carefully observed through her binoculars. She saw that at the entrance to the narrow passage, a considerable number of rebel troops had gathered, numbering at least a thousand. They seemed to know the importance of this place and were proceeding in orderly groups.

In Lin Xue's team, there was a petite woman wearing a black leather strapless armor, with sharp eyes. Her name was Lin Wan'er. She had a beautiful face and a determined look in her eyes.

"Captain, there are too many of them. There are fifty of us. Even if we occupy a favorable position, we probably won't be able to hold them off for long," Lin Wan'er whispered.

Lin Xue nodded, her gaze never leaving the telescope. "We can't let them get through here; we have to find a way to stop them."

At this moment, another team member, named Lin Ling'er, stepped forward. She wore a light blue leather strapless armor, her figure was graceful, her face was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes revealed a coldness. "Captain, I have a plan. We can use the terrain here to set a trap, and when they enter the narrow passage, we'll catch them off guard."

Lin Xue thought for a moment and decided that Lin Ling'er's method was feasible. "Okay, let's do it your way. Wan'er, you lead a group of team members to set up the traps. Lin Ling'er, you and I will go and lure them in."

Lin Wan'er and Lin Ling'er accepted the order and left. The other members of Lin Xue's team also began to move. They quickly set up traps in the valley near Yixiantian, waiting for the arrival of the rebels.

Lin Xue lowered her binoculars, her gaze sweeping over the peaks on either side of the narrow pass, and said in a deep voice, "We don't need to hold them off for long. Just delay them for an hour until the main force arrives. See that highest point on the left, Eagle Beak Cliff? That offers the best view and is an excellent sniping spot. There are several natural rock crevices on the right side of the mountainside where we can place tripwires and rolling stones."

She quickly assigned tasks: "Lin Wan'er, you take ten people to the right side of the mountain and set up obstacles. Once you hear the signal from Eagle's Beak Cliff, immediately drop rolling stones to disrupt their formation. Lin Ling'er, you take ten people and sneak along the right foot of the mountain, waiting for an opportunity to harass their rear, preventing them from supporting each other. The rest of you, follow me to Eagle's Beak Cliff!"

At the command, the "Night Shadow" team members immediately sprang into action without a sound. Lin Xue led the thirty-person team, nimbly climbing up the steep rock face like monkeys, and soon reached Eagle's Beak Cliff.

Eagle's Beak Cliff was covered with jagged rocks, and there was only a small platform, just enough for a few people to hide and fire from. Lin Xue chose the best spot, lay down, nocked an arrow, and aimed at the rebel leader who was directing the troops below.

The leader was shouting and cursing, urging the team to speed up. Lin Xue took a deep breath, clearing her mind of all distractions, focusing solely on her target. With a slight release of her fingers, the arrow shot out like a meteor with a sharp whistle, piercing precisely into the leader's throat.

The leader froze, his eyes wide open, and fell to the ground, causing chaos among the surrounding rebels.

"Release!" Lin Xue shouted in a low voice.

On Eagle's Beak Cliff, more than ten arrows were fired simultaneously, each hitting a rebel soldier with pinpoint accuracy. Caught off guard, the rebels fell to the ground, their cries and screams filling the air.

"It's an ambush! There's an ambush!" The rebels panicked and scrambled for cover.

Taking advantage of the rebels' confusion, the "Night Shadow" team members on the right side of the mountain quickly lowered the boulders and tripwires they had prepared beforehand. The boulders rolled down with a roar, causing the rebels to scream and howl, while the tripwires tripped many cavalrymen to the ground, completely blocking the rear of the column.

The rebel commander quickly realized what was happening and shouted, "Find the archers and shoot them dead! Now!"

Countless arrows rained down on Eagle's Beak Cliff, striking the rocks with a crackling sound. Lin Xue and the others had already changed positions, using the rocks as cover to continuously snipe at the rebels. They were like ghosts in the night, heard only by sound but not seen by sight; with each strike, a rebel fell.

The rebels were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and their advance came to a complete standstill. They organized several charges, trying to reach Eagle's Beak Cliff, but Lin Xue and her men used the advantageous terrain to drive them back each time.

Time ticked by, and Lin Xue knew they had successfully delayed the rebels' advance. But she also knew that the rebels outnumbered them, and if things continued this way, they would eventually be worn down.

As expected, the rebels changed their strategy. Instead of rushing forward, they sent out a large number of archers to indiscriminately bombard Eagle's Beak Cliff, while simultaneously organizing their main force to advance cautiously.

Lin Xue frowned slightly; this couldn't go on. She glanced at the sky, estimating that the main force should be arriving soon.

"Captain, we're almost out of arrows!" Lin Wan'er reported in a low voice.

Lin Xue's heart tightened, and she said in a deep voice, "Prepare to retreat!"

Just then, a deafening battle cry rang out from afar!

"It's the main force! The main force is here!" The "Night Shadow" team members on Eagle Beak Cliff cheered.

Hearing the shouts of battle, the rebels panicked and their morale collapsed. They knew they were surrounded.

Seeing this, Lin Xue knew the time had come. She ordered, "Retreat! Regroup with the main force!"

The "Night Shadow" team members took turns providing cover and quickly withdrew from Eagle's Beak Cliff.

However, just as they were about to rejoin the main force, an unexpected event occurred. A group of rebels, numbering several hundred, who had escaped the main force, saw the situation was dire and abandoned their resistance. They turned and fled into the depths of Yixiantian, attempting to bypass the main battlefield and continue their escape southwest.

"Not good! We can't let them get away!" Lin Shuang's expression changed upon seeing this. If this rebel army escaped and returned, they would still be a major threat.

At this time, the main force was engaged in fierce fighting with the main rebel force and could not spare many men to pursue them.

"Sister!" Lin Xue shouted, "Let me go!"

Lin Ping watched the fleeing rebels, then glanced at the main battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place, and gritted her teeth: "Xue Mei, I'm begging you! They don't have many people, you must wipe them out!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Lin Xue did not hesitate and led fifty "Night Shadow" team members to chase after them like arrows released from a bow.

The rebels were like frightened birds, only concerned with escaping, their formation scattered. Lin Xue led the "Night Shadow" team, like a wolf pack hunting, constantly harassing and cutting them apart. They used their speed and agility to divide the rebels into several groups and annihilate them one by one.

The battle was exceptionally fierce. Knowing they were doomed, the rebels were instead fueled by a surge of ferocity, fighting back with their lives on the line. Lin Xue led the charge, her longsword like the scythe of death, each swing claiming a life. Her movements were elusive, always managing to evade enemy attacks and deliver a fatal blow at the last possible moment.

The members of "Night Shadow" fought bravely and engaged in a fierce battle with the rebels.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the rebel army was finally annihilated. Lin Xue stood on the battlefield strewn with corpses, her body splattered with blood, panting slightly. She checked on her team members; all fifty Night Shadow female members were wounded, but all her sisters were alive.

"Captain, we...we did it!" Lin Ling'er said weakly, a smile on her face.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from behind. Lin Ping arrived with several personal guards. She dismounted and walked to Lin Xue's side: "Xue-mei, you've worked hard. The main force has won a great victory, the main rebel force has been annihilated, and the foundation of the rebellion has been eliminated."

Lin Xue looked at her sister, a hint of weariness in her eyes: "Then... what about the One Line Sky..."

"Don't worry, the main force has already taken control of Yixiantian, and the remaining enemy is being wiped out," Lin Ping said. "You have made a great contribution."

Lin Xue shook her head: "It was the sisters of 'Night Shadow' who made the contribution, and it was also the sacrificed soldiers who gave their lives for it."

Lin Ping patted her on the shoulder without saying anything.

As the sun set, its golden rays bathed the valley of "A Line of Sky," casting a somber hue over everything. Lin Xue stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, understanding that although the ambush and rearguard action had been won, the road to quelling the rebellion, as she had anticipated, remained long and arduous.

But her gaze grew even more resolute. This sharp blade in the darkness would continue to traverse between light and shadow, fighting to the very end to protect her homeland and for peace in the world. As long as she had a breath left, she would not stop.

On the horizon, the sunset paints the sky with vibrant colors, foreshadowing another hopeful dawn tomorrow. Lin Xue and her sisters are about to embark on a new journey. Whether it's "Night Shadow" or "Night Owl Guard," the special forces under Lin Xue's leadership are playing an increasingly vital role. Naturally, they have also become a key target for the enemy.
