Lin Xu suddenly spoke, and everyone else was taken aback.
The round-faced island owner burst out laughing:
"So, the talented Lin likes to play the hero? You don't want to make things difficult for the person who helped you? But don't get your hopes up. Even if you willingly offer yourself up to die now, if the person who helped you doesn't take action against you, they'll still die later!"
When Lin Xu spoke, the island lord who had secretly reminded him breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Xu with some gratitude.
But now that the round-faced island lord has spoken, the island lord who reminded Lin Xu's face has turned pale again.
He already sensed that he was doomed this time.
However, Lin Xu looked at the round-faced island owner with a somewhat speechless expression:
"Looks like you still don't listen to reason. You think you've won? Speaking of which, the school district head offered a bounty on me, but there should be another condition: if you capture me alive, you'll still get the reward, right? And that reward is definitely more valuable than killing me. Why don't you dare to do it?"
The round-faced island lord looked grim.
They naturally knew that capturing Lin Xu alive would be more valuable.
However, many people already know about Lin Xu's supernatural abilities.
They understood that with Lin Xu's potential, given time to develop, he would surely become a capable person in the future.
Although Lin Xu may still be unable to resist the nobles, if Lin Xu were to seek revenge, these ordinary people would surely lose their wealth and lives.
Therefore, they can oppose Lin Xu, but Lin Xu must die; they absolutely cannot allow Lin Xu to survive.
Thinking of this, the round-faced island lord, unwilling to reveal his fear, roared directly:
"Stop talking nonsense! Everyone, attack! Kill this trash!"
As he said this, the slave warriors, armed with makeshift firearms, had already aimed at Lin Xu and were about to pull the trigger.
However, at this moment, Lin Xu smiled:
"Finally couldn't hold back, huh? Too bad you're armed, but you're too close to me..."
As he said this, the expressions of the slave warriors who had fired the shots, as well as the island lord and his confidants who had tried to besiege Lin Xu, suddenly changed slightly.
These people emitted streaks of green light that only Lin Xu could see.
As the green light was absorbed, these people trembled all over and were naturally unable to control their weapons.
With each breath these people take, their skin, bones, and flesh wither away, as if being rapidly dried in the sun, turning into mummies at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What...what did you do..."
The round-faced island owner looked terrified, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He struggled to question.
Because he hadn't seen Lin Xu make any move at all, how could he and his men have ended up in such a predicament?
Lin Xu looked indifferently at the round-faced island lord:
"Do you think I'd explain anything to someone like you?"
The round-faced island lord's face showed shock, anger, and resentment.
Then came a look of utter despair.
"No, no... We're willing to surrender... We're willing to give up the island and everything... Don't kill us..."
The round-faced island lord had already knelt on the ground, his two legs now completely turned to yellow mud, scattered all over the ground.
But the island owner was still tenacious and hoped that Lin Xu would hold back.
Lin Xu looked indifferently at the round-faced island owner and did not answer.
To be honest, the school district head offered a bounty for his head, but the reward was really nothing special.
It turned out to be just a "noble friendship" plus a vague "noble reward".
This kind of reward is a complete rip-off to newcomers; they could easily just throw out some junk and call it a reward.
But these commoner island lords were still so eager to go forward and besiege them, willingly being used as pawns, and easily began to fight amongst themselves.
No wonder that nobles now occupy more and more resources and become increasingly domineering and powerful, while commoners are more obedient, docile, and even servile.
The round-faced island owner is a typical example of this kind of commoner.
Lin Xu felt absolutely no sympathy for this kind of person.
He watched indifferently as the round-faced island lord withered away little by little, eventually turning into a puddle of yellow mud in resentment and despair.
Lin Xu walked over and tentatively stepped on the muddy head.
The next moment, the head completely shattered, turning into a pile of dirt.
Lin Xu just used that Life Suction move.
With the ability to suck life from a distance, he could perform life sucking from afar, but this was his first time using it in actual combat.
So this time he deliberately slowed down his speed when using his ability, just to see the effect.
In retrospect, this move was indeed very powerful.
Within 500 meters, any living creature will be affected by this attack.
To defend against this attack, unless the opponent has no life force or possesses supernatural abilities or extraordinary strength, it is very difficult to guard against this ability.
After crushing the round-faced island lord's head, Lin Xu looked around.
Those slave warriors and other island lords who besieged him had by then turned to dust, and the problem had been completely solved.
As for the weapons these people are armed, they are far too rudimentary. Lin Xu can now produce products two levels higher with the iron ore, and the output is much greater.
So he really didn't think much of these things.
"Is this some kind of superpower?! What kind of superpower is this?"
Just then, someone in the distance suddenly questioned Lin Xu.
Lin Xu frowned and looked at the person who spoke.
When he first made his move, Lin Xu was only targeting the person who attacked him.
There are still quite a few survivors here. Besides the island lord and his group who warned him, there are also the two island lords and their subordinates who have been watching indifferently.
At this moment, one of the two island owners stared at Lin Xu, questioning him with a questioning expression.
Lin Xu felt no murderous intent toward the two bystanders, but he also felt no goodwill toward them.
These two people were just observing coldly and had no connection with him. Why are they questioning him like this? Do they really think he's some kind of nice guy who answers every question?
"none of your business!"
Lin Xu gave a casual reply.
The island lord opposite him twitched his face, looking as if he had been greatly humiliated.
Then he stared intently at Lin Xu, his eyes flashing, seemingly lost in thought.
Lin Xu, too lazy to pay any more attention to the two island lords, simply walked over to the island lord who had previously warned him:
"Thank you for reminding me."
"You're too kind, Mr. Lin Xu. With your strength, the outcome wouldn't have changed even without me."
The island lord, flattered by Lin Xu's thanks, gave a slightly awkward reply.
This man had thought he was going to die and was thinking of desperately trying to escape, at least to get his family out of there.
Now it seems he didn't need to do such a thing at all.
Lin Xu truly lives up to his reputation as the top student in the school district; his methods and abilities are simply unbelievable!
The island owner looked at Lin Xu with admiration, smiling obsequiously and saying kind words.
Lin Xu also had a good impression of this person, and at the same time, he was also a little curious:
"Have we met before? I really have to thank you for taking the risk to remind me."
The island owner waved his hands repeatedly:
"Lin Xu, you may have forgotten that when you were researching extracurricular activities, you pioneered a path of selling study materials. I consulted you about this before, and you helped me a lot, enabling me to have enough resources to continue my studies. That's why I'm so grateful to you and that's why I reminded you!"
