Chen Shaojie flew quite far, knocking over many soldiers along the way, before flying out of the gap in the city wall that Lin Xu had created, and was kicked out of the castle.
Lin Xu looked at the dragon spear he had taken from his hand, but did not put the weapon back into his personal space.
In island worlds, the island owner's items are generally protected and cannot be easily obtained by others.
Nobles enjoy special privileges in this regard; they can use their precious power to forge special items, which can be recalled from a great distance even if lost.
Sure enough, as Lin Xu examined the Dragon Spear, the weapon suddenly turned into pieces of black powder and disappeared on the spot.
This item should have returned to Chen Shaojie's hands.
Lin Xu nonchalantly twisted his neck and strode towards the outside of the castle.
He looked in the direction Chen Shaojie had flown off in and thought to himself that this young master had better not take the opportunity to run away, otherwise he would have to go through all the trouble of looking for him.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers in the hall also reacted and rushed towards Lin Xu.
Lin Xu turned the golden sword around and unleashed a fierce wind once more.
His physique has now been strengthened, and the power of the Shuofeng Sword Technique has been further enhanced.
While the north wind couldn't instantly kill these well-equipped soldiers, it could still blow them up and slam them to the ground.
Having suffered such a heavy blow, these soldiers would be unable to get up for a short time and would no longer be in the way.
After dealing with the group blocking his way, Lin Xu strode towards the outside of the castle.
We can't let this big fish, Chen Shaojie, get away easily.
He needs to hold onto this young master tightly in order to completely eliminate him.
When Lin Xu arrived at the castle's perimeter, Chen Shaojie indeed did not run away.
Instead, Chen Shaojie gathered a large group of soldiers and attendants, who were glaring fiercely at Lin Xu in the crowd.
"Lin Xu, how dare you humiliate me like this! A person like you must be killed!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow:
"Is this how nobles treat geniuses? I think if a group wants to survive, it always needs to attract talented people to join it."
"Hmph! We only absorb obedient dogs, never hungry wolves! Besides, there are plenty of talented people, so what does it matter if one or two die!"
Chen Shaojie spoke coldly, pointing his dragon spear at Lin Xu:
"Tear this trash to shreds!"
The next moment, the soldiers and servants rushed over.
This time, Lin Xu did not switch to using machine guns as weapons.
Although this thing is very effective against grunts, aiming is too troublesome. If Chen Shaojie attacks, he won't be able to deal with him immediately.
Lin Xu continued to wield the golden greatsword, slowly walking towards the group of soldiers.
The Shuofeng Sword Technique erupted once again.
Many soldiers were either sent flying or torn in two.
Corpses and flesh flew across the battlefield.
As Lin Xu swung his sword, his head suddenly tilted to the side, and a dragon spear pierced through his side.
Chen Shaojie was indeed using the soldiers' suicide as a pretext for a sneak attack.
Lin Xu squinted at Chen Shaojie, who had hidden himself after missing his first attack, and chuckled:
"Young Master Chen, isn't your attack a bit too cautious? Is this turtle-like fighting style the mark of an aristocrat?"
Chen Shaojie had already slipped away from Lin Xu once again.
When he was mocked, the veins on his forehead bulged.
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight Lin Xu, but the physical strength Lin Xu displayed was too oppressive, and he wasn't confident he could gain the upper hand in close combat.
Seeing that Chen Shaojie was standing still, Lin Xu spoke again:
“Young Master Chen, I have seen your marksmanship. It is very well-trained and your skills are exquisite.”
Chen Shaojie sneered smugly:
"Of course, I am a nobleman, I can handle any weapon!"
Lin Xu smiled, but shook his head:
“But Young Master Chen, your marksmanship is clearly the result of intensive, high-level training. In actual use, it lacks fluidity, your techniques are rigid, and there's always a deficiency in power and skill. This isn't because you haven't worked hard enough, nor is it because your training level is insufficient; it's because your talent has its limits…”
"Compared to true masters, you are indeed just average in talent. No wonder you dare not come up and fight me."
Lin Xu calmly stated his assessment, but unexpectedly, Chen Shaojie on the other side suddenly roared in anger.
"I am not mediocre! How could I, a nobleman, not be a genius! You piece of trash, what do you know about talent and ability!"
As he said this, Chen Shaojie's figure blurred, and he actually rushed forward and stabbed Lin Xu with his gun.
Lin Xu dodged slightly, but Chen Shaojie did not retreat as quickly as before. Instead, he changed his moves and attacked Lin Xu again.
"Trash commoner! I'll show you whether I'm a genius or not!"
Chen Shaojie roared and began to unleash various gun techniques and killing moves.
Lin Xu casually swung his sword to deal with the attackers while simultaneously dealing with the soldiers who rushed at him.
He smiled inwardly as he watched Chen Shaojie's somewhat frantic behavior.
Unexpectedly, his casual remark seemed to have precisely stepped on Chen Shaojie's landmine.
This young master seems to care a lot about his talent.
Could it be that this guy's personality became so violent and twisted because his talent was actually very mediocre, and the gap between his inner self and reality was too big, so he couldn't stand it and became a pervert?
However, recalling Chen Shaojie's usual aristocratic demeanor, Lin Xu figured that Chen Shaojie's transformation into a pervert was probably not solely due to psychological pressure.
After all, under the influence of the unlimited privileges and distorted values of the nobility, even true geniuses are bound to have some abnormal ideas.
Thinking this, Lin Xu had already struck Chen Shaojie's spear twice in succession.
His physical abilities have improved, and although he is still not as fast as Chen Shaojie, he can now keep up with the execution of the moves.
Lin Xu easily chopped Chen Shaojie's spear to the side, then punched Chen Shaojie on the shoulder.
This time he controlled the force and direction, preventing Chen Shaojie from being knocked away again and out of his attack range.
Chen Shaojie's armor was extremely sturdy. He only staggered slightly and let out a groan after taking the blow, but he was clearly not seriously injured.
However, Lin Xu's attack followed immediately.
"Let me show you what real weaponry looks like!"
As Lin Xu spoke, the golden greatsword turned at a precise angle and along a precise path, slashing down on Chen Shaojie's chest.
As the giant sword slashed down, Lin Xu also released golden hair.
The hair that landed on Chen Shaojie's armor only turned a very small part of the surface of the armor into gold, without directly damaging the armor's structure.
However, Lin Xu's speed in shooting hairs was not slow, and with such continuous attacks, Chen Shaojie's armor would be broken sooner or later.
Lin Xu swung his sword repeatedly, easily deflecting Chen Shaojie's dragon spear each time, and then slashed out with his sword again, shooting out hairs.
Chen Shaojie was slashed at least a hundred times, his steps became unsteady, and he was dizzy from being hit so hard.
While dealing with Chen Shaojie, Lin Xu also took the opportunity to kill the soldiers and servants who surrounded him, taking down at least several dozen more people.
Chen Shaojie has lost his former sharpness. Compared to the physical damage, the mental blow he is now suffering is the most severe.
He always boasted that he was a master marksman and that he could easily take on at least dozens of civilians, let alone a hundred.
But at this moment, he clearly felt the gap between his weapon capabilities and Lin Xu's.
Lin Xu, wielding a heavy and slow greatsword, was able to easily block his swift spear. Moreover, the exquisiteness of his swordsmanship was beyond his imagination, completely breaking through his spear technique and even allowing him to easily strike him.
If it weren't for his formidable armor, he would have been cut into dozens of pieces long ago.
"Impossible! This is impossible! Lin Xu, you can't be this strong!"
Chen Shaojie roared in a muffled voice, and suddenly pulled out the dragon spear, actually shooting out the outer shell of the dragon spear.
Chen Shaojie then pulled out the internal structure from under the dragon spear's outer shell, revealing a golden rapier inside.
Chen Shaojie unleashed tremendous speed in an instant, stabbing dozens of times at Lin Xu, each strike aimed directly at Lin Xu's eyes.
This move was probably Chen Shaojie's carefully concealed trump card, and its explosive power was surprisingly strong.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed, and he felt a bright white light before his eyes. It was a rapier piercing through the gaps in his armor, trying to destroy his eyes...
