"Why be so foolish..."

However, at this moment, Lin Xu's voice suddenly came in a low tone.

Just as Chen Shaojie's rapier was about to pierce the gap in Lin Xu's armor, Lin Xu's right leg, like an illusion, instantly shattered Dali's lower body and then kicked Chen Shaojie.

Chen Shaojie was sent flying backwards again, traveling dozens of meters before finally landing.

Dali, however, still gripped Lin Xu's arm tightly, glaring at him with wide eyes.

Lin Xu looked down at Dali indifferently, slowly exerted force with his shoulders, and gradually broke free from Dali's arms. Then he reached out, grabbed Dali's head, and forcibly pulled Dali, who was only half a body, off his body.

Lin Xu was not surprised that Chen Shaojie disregarded Dali's life or death.

However, Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine at Dali's desperate attempt to trap him.

"Whether it's Wang En or you, why are you both so foolish..."

"It is because of fools like you, and the endless stream of ignorant and weak slaves, that the nobility will remain the same, forever unchanged..."

Lin Xu grabbed Dali's head, watching as Dali continued to strain, trying to restrain his hands.

Looking down at Dali indifferently, Lin Xu pinched Dali's head, his fingers tightening little by little.

Dali's head immediately began to contort in pain, and his head began to deform little by little.

Lin Xu:

"You are like those eyeless, disgusting maggots, blocking the torrent of the world, clinging to the giant wheel of time and preventing it from turning..."

"This disgusting thing should definitely be crushed, squeezed, and completely reduced to ashes!"

With a bang.

The massive head in Lin Xu's hand suddenly cracked open.

The ability that Dali just used should be an extreme burst technique that stimulates potential. After the burst, his defense and strength were greatly reduced, making him completely unable to withstand Lin Xu's counterattack.

Lin Xu casually tossed the completely dead Dali to the ground, then looked at Chen Shaojie in the distance.

"You've forced me to use another trump card, Young Master Chen. Your methods are truly impressive."

Lin Xu's kick that shattered Dali's power was also a technique passed down through generations.

It was the book of inheritance that he received as a reward from his classmate Ma Buping.

This technique is a legwork, though it is inferior to the Shuofeng Sword Technique and lacks the ability to manipulate elemental power.

However, this footwork has an advantage: it is extremely fast in terms of explosive power and execution speed.

Lin Xu originally did not intend to use this kind of special skill on Chen Shaojie.

But if he hadn't made a move, his eyes would have been pierced.

Moreover, the fact that Dali was being used in this way, yet still worked tirelessly for Chen Shaojie, disgusted Lin Xu.

Lin Xu then stopped hiding his trump card and launched a counterattack.

Feeling Lin Xu's indifferent gaze, Chen Shaojie shrank back in the distance.

At this moment, Chen Shaojie was genuinely afraid of Lin Xu.

His two top fighters, Wang En and Dali, were actually killed by Lin Xu one after another.

Although Chen Shaojie still had another official knight under his command, that knight had been sent out to find Xiao Xing to hand over the mission and was not by his side at all.

Moreover, even if that knight were here, Chen Shaojie highly doubted that the guy would be a match for Lin Xu.

Is this young man in front of me really just an ordinary citizen?

How could a commoner come up with such a variety of methods to drive a nobleman to this point?

Chen Shaojie stared intently at Lin Xu:

"Lin Xu, perhaps we have other options. How about we talk about it?"

Lin Xu looked at Chen Shaojie coldly, a smirk playing on his lips:

"What do you want to talk about? How did you manage to assassinate the White Bluebird?"

Chen Shaojie was taken aback, then nodded:

“That’s right! If you talk to me, I can give you a hint and tell you about the Bai family’s current situation!”

However, no sooner had Chen Shaojie finished speaking than another figure appeared beside him.

It was Lin Xu.

Before Chen Shaojie could react, Lin Xu swiftly grabbed Chen Shaojie's head:

"Bai Qingniao isn't stupid. How could she not know the Bai family's predicament? As long as you're eliminated, her family's crisis won't be resolved. I might as well eliminate you now and make you lose your status as island lord!"

As he said this, Lin Xu grabbed Chen Shaojie's head, lifted it up, and slammed it hard to the ground.

Chen Shaojie let out a muffled groan, unable to utter the words he had wanted to say.

Lin Xu continued his methods, grabbing Chen Shaojie and throwing him around.

He had just discovered that Chen Shaojie's armor was not like his layered armor, and its shock absorption was not as exaggerated.

This back-and-forth slamming attack is designed to strike the weak points of this noble armor.

On the battlefield, Lin Xu, a giant over five meters tall, began frantically slamming a human figure into the ground. Other soldiers and servants rushed over from the sky and the ground to try to stop Lin Xu, but they were all deflected by Lin Xu's casual flick of his wrist, with Chen Shaojie flying away.

Lin Xu slammed Chen Shaojie to the ground again, and suddenly heard a faint scream from Chen Shaojie.

Bloodstains had seeped into the inside of Chen Shaojie's armor.

Lin Xu's lips curled up:

"So this is your weakness? Chen Shaojie, prepare to face death!"

Chen Shaojie shouted from inside the armor:

"Lin Xu, you'll definitely regret this ruthless act!"

Lin Xu chuckled coldly:

"If I didn't have this way of doing things, I would probably have been devoured without a trace, without even a chance to regret it."

As he said this, Lin Xu continued to slam Chen Shaojie's armor against him.

"When have nobles ever hesitated to go too far when dealing with commoners?"

"When did you ever consider the consequences when you sent your men to assassinate the civilian island lord?"

"Since you've taken the privilege of killing, be prepared to be killed yourself."

"Young Master Chen surely understands this simple principle, doesn't he?"

As Lin Xu spoke, he kept striking the armor, and gradually he noticed that the armor in his hands was covered in blood.

His eyes flashed, and he wondered if Chen Shaojie was already dead.

Lin Xu wanted to check on Chen Shaojie's condition.

However, at this moment, Chen Shaojie's angry roar suddenly came:

"You trashy commoner, you deserve to die! Don't think I'm really afraid of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shaojie's arm armor suddenly burst open.

The armor transformed into a large lump of gold, twisting and spinning as it lunged at Lin Xu like a venomous snake.

Lin Xu frowned, cautiously refraining from a direct confrontation. He cleaved the golden serpent in two with a single sword strike, then leaped backward, distancing himself from Chen Shaojie.

"Damn it...damn it...damn it!"

Chen Shaojie’s gloomy and furious voice came from his armor, mixed with the sound of him coughing up blood.

It seems he was seriously injured, otherwise he wouldn't be having difficulty speaking now.

"I originally intended to use this move to seize the rightful place in the ritual! I never expected to run into trash like you, forcing me to use this move!"

Chen Shaojie stared at Lin Xu, his eyes beneath his helmet gleaming with golden light.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and the gold on his right arm began to spread again, rushing straight towards Lin Xu.

As the gold rushed in, figures suddenly leaped up from the ground beneath Chen Shaojie's castle.

These things rushed towards Lin Xu as soon as they landed.

Lin Xu was also somewhat surprised when he saw these things.

Because these suddenly appearing figures look very much like those golden puppet creatures.

However, these golden figures were not in the form of soldiers, nor did they wear armor. Instead, they resembled golden lizards, rapidly swimming towards him.

"This Chen Shaojie calls himself the Lion King, he might as well call himself the Snake King..."

As Lin Xu watched the golden lizards rush out, he couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.
