Phantom was a little confused by Lin Xu's words. She had been lying on the ground for a long time, but instead of Lin Xu making a move against her, he mentioned other people's names.

Peach Blossom?

It sounds like a girl's name.

Could we get along well with her? What kind of girl would she be?

When Meiying heard Lin Xu mention other girls' names, she felt a little sour, but then she shook her head repeatedly.

How could that be! She, the young lady of the Shadow Clan, would never be jealous just because a human mentioned other girls.

It must be the influence of the slave contract that has unknowingly tamed her heart!

Slave contracts are truly terrifying!

As Meiying thought this, she realized that Lin Xu really didn't intend to come over and enlighten her, so she secretly opened her eyes and stole a glance at Lin Xu.

Lin Xu noticed Phantom's subtle movements and was somewhat speechless. He spoke calmly:

"Phantom, don't worry, you are now my slave, which means you are my property. Even if I wanted to enlighten shadow creatures, I wouldn't use you as a test subject. Because I won't destroy my own property casually."

Upon hearing this, Phantom pursed her lips.

What "property" and "slaves"?

If this man didn't want to kill her, why didn't he choose a nicer way to describe her? Describing her like this makes her lose face.

But Phantom waited for a long time without receiving any further words of comfort from Lin Xu.

She finally got up with a grumble, stood up from the ground, and glared at Lin Xu with deep resentment.

Lin Xu ignored Phantom at this moment, because he could sense the power of the ruins descending upon him and Phantom.

This means the ruins have finally dealt with the side effects of the Phantom's departure and are preparing to teleport the two of them away.

Previously, Lin Xu was completely unaware of this power, but now that he has dabbled in both soul and spatial powers, he can sense its arrival in advance.

Moreover, Lin Xu also discovered that after his soul power was strengthened, his perception of danger and his ability to detect changes in the environment had improved significantly.

If someone were pointing a gun at him now, he should be able to instinctively sense it.

Lin Xu bent down and picked up the bulletproof vest from the ground, then pulled Phantom to his side:

"Preparing to teleport out! There may be enemies outside, be ready!"

Phantom was initially a little upset, but her eyes lit up when she heard that she could leave the ruins.

She didn't care about enemies or anything like that, but she had been trapped in the ruins for two thousand years and longed for the sights of the outside world.

Even a stone or a blade of grass from the outside world can now excite her endlessly.

After Phantom was ready, Lin Xu felt the power of the ruins descend upon him.

The next moment, the scenery before his eyes changed, and he was standing once again on the black scorched earth outside.

Behind him, the Black Goat Ruins began to tremble and sink, disappearing into the void.

Lin Xu raised an eyebrow at the scene before him:

"Looks like there's been a lot of people waiting to welcome us..."

The Phantom was also greedily scanning the scenery outside, and then its gaze fell on the figures in front of it.

The female demon frowned in displeasure:

"Two thousand years have passed, and the world is still so chaotic and dangerous? These humans are your enemies, aren't they, Master?"

Before Lin Xu and Mei Ying stood Wang En and his group.

These people were quite excited when they saw the Black Goat ruins begin to shake and sink.

Only when this relic disappears can they leave this area and regain their freedom.

However, since the ruins have disappeared, it proves that the people inside successfully cleared the ruins.

Wang En stood in front of their group, frowning as he stared at Lin Xu.

Wang En was also very surprised to see Lin Xu's huge body.

But he remained outwardly calm and said indifferently:

"Lin Xu, you really do have some skill. You were able to clear this series of ruins so quickly!"

As he said this, Wang En glanced at Phantom again.

This miniature beauty with ram horns clearly has an extraordinary background. Could she be the reward Lin Xu received from the ruins?

This precious species cannot fall into the hands of an ordinary citizen.

Wang En didn't say much, but instead summoned a dragon spear and raised it into the air:

"Everyone, attack! Don't care if Lin Xu lives or dies!"

The next moment, gunshots suddenly rang out in the distance.

Countless bullets struck Lin Xu's forehead.

However, to Wang En and the others' astonishment, just as they aimed their guns at Lin Xu, Lin Xu suddenly leaped with incredible agility, easily dodging all the guns.

The phantom beside him, whose soul cultivation was originally higher, was more sensitive to this danger. It had already turned into a phantom and disappeared into the shadows on the ground, just like it had disappeared in front of Lin Xu before.

The gunfire continued to strike the spot where Lin Xu had been standing, creating craters in the scorched earth blocks formed from solid stone.

These firearms are all enhanced weapons, and the bullets are clearly specially made, making them very lethal.

If it were the previous Lin Xu, without wearing a bulletproof vest, he would most likely have been riddled with bullets.

However, Lin Xu easily avoided all the gunshots, but he was somewhat curious whether the bullets hitting him would hurt him.

His current physical condition is probably not even as good as the bulletproof vest he has, and he can't withstand heavy machine gun fire.

But if it were an armor-piercing bullet, it might not be able to seriously injure him; at most, it would only cause some minor scratches.

Lin Xu was eager to try, but he wouldn't recklessly face firearms on the battlefield. With his enhanced physical abilities, he used extraordinary speed to evade the aim of the ranged shooters, then summoned his boomerang and threw it suddenly.

Under Lin Xu's five-meter-tall frame, the boomerang looked like a small toy, completely inconspicuous.

However, with Lin Xu's current strength, the boomerang produced a sonic boom as soon as it left his hand.

In an instant, the boomerang covered hundreds of meters, scattering in the air and creating more than twenty afterimages before crashing into a group of archers.

A loud cracking sound followed.

Those archers were like meat sacks struck by a heavy hammer, exploding into countless pieces of minced meat.

The attack of this boomerang is no longer even cutting, but a real hammer blow.

The boomerang began to fly back to Lin Xu's hand at high speed. Lin Xu was also quick when he threw the boomerang. He jumped on the spot and easily crossed more than 20 meters, bypassing Wang En and his group of opponents who were obviously heavily armored knights.

Lin Xu then dodged another barrage of bullets and bombs, and then jumped again, continuing to approach the shooters in the distance.

He determined his strategy immediately at the start of the battle: prioritize eliminating the ranged threats before dealing with Wang En and his melee fighters.

Wang En realized Lin Xu's intention and immediately roared:

"Long-range, spread out and fire freely! Melee squads, follow me and activate your heavy armor to keep this guy occupied and prevent him from continuing to attack ranged targets!"
