Lin Xu traveled to another world, with no background and no resources. Although he worked hard to become a super scholar, he still could not avoid a future as a beast of burden.
Until his tal...
"W-what's going on?!"
Qin Liang and the group of islanders stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before them.
In the void, countless rotating machine gun bullets, like fireballs, swept back and forth, smashing against the airships.
Each bullet that hits its target can tear an airship apart.
The airship, along with the slave warriors inside, will be torn to shreds.
The machine gun bullets were fired at such a high speed that hundreds of airships were shot down in less than a minute.
The machine gun's accuracy and adjustment speed were also beyond imagination. After shooting down all the airships, it turned its firepower on the air islands owned by Qin Liang and his island lords.
The machine gun's rapid-fire bullets pounded the machine guns positioned in front of and to the sides of the islands.
The bullets struck the slave operating the machine gun precisely, but did not destroy the machine gun itself.
After destroying the slaves, the bullet changed angle and hit the turbine propeller behind the sky island.
Those things were the power source that propelled the islands forward, but now they've all been shattered into pieces. Qin Liang and his group's islands have all lost their ability to move and are stuck in place.
"This kind of firepower, is it something a new island lord could possess?"
An island owner stammered a question.
"Even if it's Young Master Chen, the island doesn't have such powerful firepower!"
"Is this really a newbie?"
One of the island owners rushed up to Qin Liang and Zhao Tian and grabbed them by the neck:
"Did you guys hide something from us and send us here to die?! This guy is a penniless commoner lord? You could easily pass him off as a nobleman!"
"A mere 10-square-meter island, and they actually have this kind of weapon... We're... we're finished..."
One of the island owners, his face ashen, lay on the ground, muttering something to himself.
They didn't get their wealth from Chen Shaojie for free; they had to constantly attack and rob other island owners, exchanging various resources for Chen Shaojie's support.
But now that they've suffered such a crushing defeat, even if they go back to see Chen Shaojie, there's a high chance they'll be stripped of their island, sold into slavery, and sent to mine.
"You two idiots! You didn't even bother to find out what was going on with him! Do you even know anything about Lin Xu's background? Someone as powerful as him couldn't possibly be without someone's financial backing!"
The island owner yelled at Qin Liang and his companion.
Qin Liang and his companion were also completely dumbfounded. Their heads were still buzzing, and they hadn't yet recovered from the reality of Lin Xu's swift victory over them.
As they gradually realized what had just happened, their faces grew paler and paler, and their expressions became increasingly terrified.
Especially when they recalled their previous arrogance towards Lin Xu, they felt even more hopeless about their situation.
"We're doomed, we're doomed!"
Qin Liang murmured, and Zhao Tian also opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.
At this point, Lin Xu had confirmed that the 11 "fat sheep" that had been delivered to his door were completely powerless to resist.
He instructed Xiaoyu to start propelling the island toward the place where the island lords were gathered.
Upon seeing that Lin Xu's island could move, the island lords turned pale again.
So Lin Xu can move from the same spot. Does that mean he hasn't left because he's been waiting for us to come to him?
The 11 island owners were now filled with regret. One of them glared hatefully at Qin Liang and Zhao Tian, then waited with trembling hearts for Lin Xu to come to their door.
Although they were defeated, they were still island lords after all. They could only hope that Lin Xu was kind-hearted and naive enough to let their enemies go.
However, before these island lords could even entertain their own thoughts, Lin Xu had already set foot on the island where they had gathered.
Before the island lords could speak, Lin Xu waved his hand, and a boomerang flew out.
The boomerang exploded through the air at incredible speed, swiftly passing through the numerous island lords.
The island lords' legs were almost all broken in the blink of an eye, and they fell to their knees in agony.
Lin Xu reached out and took the boomerang, nodding in satisfaction.
"This weapon is indeed quite good."
Then, Lin Xu leisurely walked up to the island lords.
Upon seeing Lin Xu appear, many island lords who were still howling and cursing miserably rolled around clutching their legs were shocked.
But now these people dare not speak.
Qin Liang and Zhao Tian also bowed their heads decisively upon seeing Lin Xu.
Despite the excruciating pain, Qin Liang grimaced and said:
"Lin, you great talent, we were blind to have gone against you! But we're classmates, and we still have some feelings for each other. Please let us go back, and we promise we won't cause you any more trouble!"
Zhao Tian, who was standing next to him, was also clutching his broken leg, groaning as he said:
"Yes, yes! Lin, we know you've always been a very magnanimous person. When we get back, we'll definitely persuade Young Master Chen that you're a true genius and there's absolutely no need to oppose you! We can help ease the tension between you and Young Master Chen so he'll stop targeting you! After all, Young Master Chen is a nobleman, and his strength is unfathomable. His knights are far stronger than us nobody. If you want to develop smoothly, you still need to maintain a good relationship with Young Master Chen. We need to mediate so that you won't be deliberately targeted by him!"
Lin Xu looked at Qin Liang and the other man with a playful expression.
Do these two guys think he's an idiot?
He was asked to consider his friendship with his classmates and his relationship with Chen Shaojie, and then send the group of people back like that.
Should he return the spoils he just won to Chen Shaojie?
Moreover, Zhao Tian appeared to be considering his best interests, but his words clearly implied that he was threatening him with Chen Shaojie.
Zhao Tian deliberately brought up Chen Shaojie's strength in order to make him think twice about Chen Shaojie and not dare to make a move against Zhao Tian and his group.
Lin Xu chuckled:
"Don't even mention that good-for-nothing Chen Shaojie; I don't need to worry about him at all. Even if I wanted to mend relations with him, what could you lackeys possibly do about it?"
Qin Liang and Zhao Tianliang froze. Qin Liang murmured:
"Lin Xu, we are classmates after all..."
Lin Xu stared into Qin Liang's eyes:
"When you talk to me about the friendship between classmates, are you thinking of Xu Xin? Did he say those words to you when you killed him?"
Qin Liang's face turned completely ugly. At that moment, a fierce glint flashed in Zhao Tian's eyes, and he roared:
"Do it! Kill this piece of trash!"
As he said this, Zhao Tianqiang, despite his broken leg, managed to get up and take out a tattered crossbow from his pocket.
At his shout, most of the other island lords also sprang into action, drawing out the same weapons and aiming them at Lin Xu.
It seems this weapon is standard equipment for Young Master Chen's men, probably prepared for turning the tide in desperate situations.
However, while these people believed their actions and killing moves were unexpected, Lin Xu's expression remained remarkably calm.
In fact, Lin Xu had already noticed that Qin Liang and his group were making small moves when they were begging for mercy.
He was willing to waste more time arguing with these people, just to make them despair once again.
So just as Zhao Tian made his move, Lin Xu released the boomerang in his hand again in an instant.
His strength and speed were too great, and his ability to manipulate weapons was almost supernatural. Regardless of whether the island lords had made a move or not, their arms were all broken by the boomerang.
Zhao Tian and Qin Liang were no exception; all their weapons fell to the ground, and one of their arms was ripped off.
"Ah! Why, why!"
Zhao Tian roared in frustration, while Qin Liang wailed incessantly.
Lin Xu ignored the two this time and quietly watched as they, along with the other island lords, continued to lose blood.
Amidst excruciating pain, despair, and resentment, these people breathed their last, bit by bit.
These people must have killed a considerable number of civilian island owners along the way.
Now is the time for these people to pay for their blood debt.
Lin Xu deliberately made Qin Liang and Zhao Tian's wounds the most painful and unbearable.
These two indeed struggled the most miserably, with the most unwilling expressions.
Lin Xu stared indifferently at the two corpses and exhaled:
"Xu Xin, although we're not that close, we were classmates after all, and now I'm avenging you."
