Lin Xu reached out and caught the boomerang that flew back, then threw it at one of the ranged soldiers.
Without even looking at the results of the boomerang, he charged straight at the ranged soldiers on the other side. Once he was within 100 meters of them, he unleashed his Soul Tear ability.
Flesh and blood, soul and spirit, intertwined and erupted on the battlefield, and both ranged squads were annihilated.
While Lin Xu was dealing with the remaining ranged units, Wang En, with a grim expression, called for the melee units to return to his side.
Wang En had already realized that his current methods were inadequate to protect ranged soldiers from being killed.
Therefore, it would be better to use this time to adjust the formation and hope to lure Lin Xu over for an ambush.
At this moment, Lin Xu had dealt with all the ranged soldiers and reached out to catch the boomerang that flew back.
At this moment, Wang En shouted:
"Lin Xu, do you dare to fight us!"
Wang En's tone was filled with intense anger; he wanted to ignite Lin Xu's passion and hope that Lin Xu would charge forward to confront his soldiers' formation head-on.
However, Lin Xu glanced at Wang En and his group and merely curled the corners of his mouth.
This level of provocation had absolutely no effect on him.
Lin Xu did not approach the formation formed by Wang En and his group at all. Instead, he stood at a distance and walked in circles before suddenly throwing out a boomerang.
"Raise your shields!"
Wang En cursed inwardly upon seeing this, but decisively gave the order.
He had witnessed the power of Lin Xu's boomerang; if that weapon were to hit them, apart from the knight's squire and himself, the others would likely be unable to withstand it.
However, at this moment, the soldiers received Wang En's order and raised their left hands in unison.
A fan-shaped steel shield popped out from the arms of these people, and then instantly rotated to form a high-strength alloy shield.
Everyone instinctively raised their shields in one direction, facing Lin Xu's boomerang.
In mid-air, Lin Xu's boomerang had already created more than twenty afterimages, which scattered and bombarded the numerous soldiers.
A heavy hammer blow resounded.
The soldiers were forced to take three or four steps to the side, their bodies twisted and tilted to one side by the blow.
However, by working together, these people managed to share the impact of the boomerang, leaving only a slight dent on the shield, which appeared to be damaged.
Lin Xu's boomerang flew back, and he caught it, looking at the soldiers with some surprise.
This was the first time his boomerang had failed to kill its target.
These melee soldiers were clearly equipped with rather sophisticated gear, far superior to the slave warriors on King's Grace Island.
It seems that Wang En made considerable preparations for this mission to hunt him down.
Lin Xu then smiled again.
The more complete Wang En's preparations, the more spoils he would receive, which Wang En would naturally welcome. He would be even more satisfied if Chen Shaojie brought all of his wealth.
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised by the soldiers' performance, while Wang En's expression was quite unpleasant.
The melee soldiers he brought this time were all wearing elite equipment, which even heavy sniper rifles couldn't penetrate with a single shot, but Lin Xu's boomerang could deform this equipment.
Lin Xu's power is too great!
Moreover, if Lin Xu continued to attack, their shields and armor would become completely twisted and deformed, or even shatter completely.
Then they won't be able to keep blocking anymore.
He also wanted to lure Lin Xu into their encirclement, but since Lin Xu could win by simply standing outside and launching ranged attacks, his tactics were completely ineffective.
Wang En stared intently at Lin Xu and shouted again:
"Lin Xu, you're a coward! Facing our battle formation, you really didn't dare to attack head-on! Someone like you is destined to be eliminated by the island world!"
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow, looking at Wang En's righteous and awe-inspiring face, and found it somewhat amusing.
This kind of low-level taunting technique wouldn't even work on some island owners who haven't studied tactics properly, right?
Wang En actually thought this move could lure him into abandoning his ranged advantage and going into melee combat?
Lin Xu mocked:
“I think you’re a coward too, Wang En. I’m standing here all by myself waiting for you to rush up, and you don’t even dare to move. Even a tortoise is stronger than you.”
Hearing this from afar, Wang En was immediately furious.
"This Lin Xu is definitely not stupid!"
Seeing Lin Xu raise the boomerang again, Wang En knew they were truly trapped and had to change his strategy.
"Form an A-formation and charge! If this kid isn't falling for it, then we'll really attack!"
The next moment, Wang En's soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to move.
The soldiers' armor emitted powerful gusts of air, propelling them forward at high speed. Having retrieved their dragon spears, they threw them at Lin Xu once more.
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised by the soldiers' speed. He was curious about their combat strength, so he didn't dodge and directly took out his golden sword, unleashing the Shuofeng Sword Technique.
This time, Lin Xu was prepared. The dragon spears that could generate electricity did not get within ten meters of him before being blown off course and flying into the air by the powerful gale.
Lightning bolts shot out from the dragon spear, but none of them hit Lin Xu.
Seeing that their first move didn't work, the soldiers didn't stop charging forward. Holding shields in one hand and extending longswords from their other arms, they all charged towards Lin Xu.
Judging from the appearance of these soldiers, they seem to want to cooperate with each other to compete with Lin Xu in swordsmanship.
Lin Xu raised an eyebrow and immediately activated Soul Tear.
The next moment, a wave of energy at the soul level exploded from his body and rushed straight towards the soldiers.
Unlike before, although these soldiers were hit by the soul impact, their souls were not forced out of their bodies. Instead, their movements were only slightly slower, but they were still able to keep moving and charge towards Lin Xu.
"Soul Tear was ineffective? It must be the effect of those armors..."
Lin Xu could sense the vitality of these soldiers; at most, they could only be considered elite beings, but far from being extraordinary.
These people certainly couldn't withstand the soul power on their own, so the only explanation for their current situation is that their equipment is special.
Lin Xu was even more delighted.
Since these people's armor can resist supernatural abilities, it must be considered a high-end product.
If you take them and stack them, you should be able to get a good return.
Thinking this, Lin Xu tried to activate Life Suction again.
Some green life force was drawn out from the gaps in the soldiers' armor, slowing their movements down a step.
But compared to the enemies who had their life force drained to death by Lin Xu, these soldiers were in much better condition.
"Not only can it defend against soul power, but it can also defend against life-draining?"
Upon learning about the armor's second performance feature, Lin Xu wasn't happy this time; instead, he frowned slightly.
Because this kind of armor with all-around defensive supernatural abilities cannot be made simply by relying on craftsmanship.
To create this kind of armor, one generally needs to involve the power of authority.
In other words, it is armor that can only be manufactured by nobles using their own rules and privileges.
This armor carries the special aura of a noble family; even if someone steals it, they may not be able to use it.
Even with stacked talents, it would only intensify their aristocratic aura, making this armor even more unusable.
"This deal was a bit of a loss..."
Lin Xu spoke with a hint of disappointment.
