Late Ming: Killing Enemies Unlocks Talents, One Slash Topples the Eight Banners

[Ming Dynasty + Decisive and Ruthless + Contending for Supremacy and Rebellion + System]

Year Twelve of the Chongzhen reign. Severe drought, bitter cold, and a devastating plague.

People devour one another, ghosts run rampant, and even the gods offer no salvation.

Lu Yuan transmigrates and becomes a good-for-nothing night scout on a Liaodong frontier post, freezing to death.

In this dog-eat-dog world, the only way to survive is with your fists!

Fortunately, he has a status panel.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence]: Swing your blade, and you will always reap a reward!

[Hunt Fate]: Slay powerful foes and plunder their destinies!

Kill a corrupt official and gain [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]!

Kill a bandit chief and gain [Endless Breath]!

Kill a White Armor soldier and gain [Dynamic Vision]!

Kill a Banner Prince and gain [Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon]!

As his muscles swell, his bones crack, and his body surpasses the limits of mortals!

As he wields a five-foot horse-slaying saber, with a thousand ranks of armored soldiers and ten thousand cannons at his back!

Faced with corrupt officials' persecution, rebel bands' encirclement, and the iron hooves of the Jianzhou Eight Banners,

Lu Yuan slowly draws his horse-slaying saber. “Rules? There are no rules in the face of a mighty blade.”

“My name is Lu Yuan, Yuan as in the abyss. Starting today, I will set the rules for this chaotic age!”
