With a loud bang.
Lin Xu punched the muscular man hard in the waist with his left hand.
The man was blasted away like a cannonball, flying at least dozens of meters before crashing into the castle wall in the center of the island.
Lin Xu strode towards the castle.
Behind him, soldiers blown into the air by the fierce wind fell to the ground with a crackling sound, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
These people were protected by armor, so they wouldn't be killed instantly by the fall, but experiencing such a fall would still be quite painful for them, and they wouldn't be able to fight again for a while.
Slave warriors surrounded them, along with even more regular soldiers.
Lin Xu took a deep breath and immediately used Life Suction.
However, many enemies only paused and slowed down, and their life force was not absorbed much.
"So it really won't work..."
This is, after all, Chen Shaojie's stronghold, and most of the people here are protected by Chen Shaojie's power.
This family's authority effectively suppresses life and soul abilities, effectively sealing away Lin Xu's two most efficient methods of attack.
However, after sensing the scroll of authority in his personal space, Lin Xu knew that if he really needed it, he could directly seal off this power of authority.
At that time, everyone will become his target and be easily dealt with by him.
But the scroll is too precious, and we can still deal with it using other means, so we won't use this trump card.
With that thought in mind, Lin Xu walked step by step toward the castle.
Even with his height, he still couldn't see the top of the city wall.
The city wall is at least ten meters high and is quite large.
As expected of nobles who are adept at exploiting people, they have built such a fortress in a short period of time.
However, Lin Xu had no interest in appreciating this kind of architecture. He suddenly kicked out, sending the castle gate flying into the air.
Then Lin Xu swung his sword again, splitting the wall above the castle gate in two.
Lin Xu leisurely walked into the castle through the gap.
That muscular guy was the one who got knocked flying here.
Lin Xu guessed that this person was probably the castle's manager. If Chen Shaojie wasn't on the island, then as long as they captured this man, they should be able to control the entire island.
However, upon arriving at the center of the castle, Lin Xu unexpectedly spotted someone.
A young man dressed in golden armor sat on an ornate chair, leaning back and looking at him sideways with his chin propped up by one hand.
"Lin Xu, I didn't expect you to actually have the guts to come here? What gave you that confidence? Just because you killed that good-for-nothing Wang En?"
The golden-armored youth spoke in a cold voice, his tone filled with an indescribable arrogance and tyranny.
Lin Xu narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised:
"Chen Shaojie? You didn't go to explore the golden ruins, but stayed on this island instead?"
Chen Shaojie snorted coldly:
"Exploring ruins is such a crude thing; true nobles would never do it themselves. But staying on this island has actually led to a wonderful spectacle. Lin Xu, you're incredibly foolish to actually dare to trespass on my core island!"
Lin Xu smiled.
Chen Shaojie's appearance here was indeed a surprise to him.
He originally thought that while Chen Shaojie was exploring the Golden Ruins, he could take the opportunity to seize the entire Noble Island.
That way, there's no need to worry about Chen Shaojie escaping anymore.
Unexpectedly, I've run into Chen Shaojie himself, so I'll have to change my plans.
However, Lin Xu did not feel that the current situation was dangerous; on the contrary, he felt even more pleasantly surprised.
After all, if Chen Shaojie had stayed outside the island, he might have been able to use some means to escape on his own.
Now that this guy has shown up in person, all sorts of troubles are saved, and we can directly use decapitation tactics to finish off this series of enemies.
Lin Xu and Chen Shaojie exchanged glances, their fighting spirit growing stronger.
Chen Shaojie suddenly snorted coldly:
"Dali, are you still lying there pretending to be dead? Are you even worse than Wang En?"
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to Lin Xu, it was the muscular man from before.
The man, seemingly enraged by Chen Shaojie's reprimand, picked up a huge curved sword from somewhere and swung it at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed. This time he had encountered Chen Shaojie, and he couldn't let this young master get away.
Therefore, he needs to get rid of other people who are in his way as soon as possible.
This time, he didn't intend to test the opponent's strength and directly used his swordsmanship.
The Shuofeng Sword Technique unleashed its power once more, spinning and disrupting the muscular man's balance.
But the muscular man's curved knife seemed to have some kind of black technology, as it emitted a scorching light, and even if it missed, it could still try to cut Lin Xu's neck.
Lin Xu's eyes flashed, but he neither dodged nor avoided the blow. He continued to swing his longsword, meeting the muscular man's longsword blade and slashing at the man's body.
With a soft "pfft".
Blood splattered.
The muscular man let out a miserable howl; a deep bloody gash had appeared on his body.
The man had a large gash cut open from his shoulder to his stomach, exposing even his bones.
Although the muscular man's longsword did strike Lin Xu, Lin Xu's armor was too strong. Even if Lin Xu wanted to break it, he would have to put in some effort, not to mention that the muscular man was not as strong as him.
The muscular man could only leave a scratch on Lin Xu's armor before his weapon was deflected and slammed heavily into the ground.
A crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and the scorching heat melted the rocks, creating two narrow streams of lava.
The muscular man clutched his wound and screamed as he retreated.
Chen Shaojie, sitting on the throne in front, immediately frowned:
"What a piece of trash! Ignore this guy, Team Two, make your move!"
The next moment, many people suddenly appeared on the roof and in the basement of the castle hall.
These people were equipped similarly to the Dragonlance team, but their weapons were clearly more advanced—a scepter imbued with thunder.
There were about fifty soldiers. After they appeared, they ignored the fact that the muscular man was right at Lin Xu's feet and directly activated the Thunder Scepter, releasing lightning at Lin Xu.
A large amount of current broke through the air and shot out, emitting blue light.
At Lin Xu's current speed, he is completely unable to dodge the lightning.
But he didn't need to dodge, so he just stood there and let the lightning strike him.
The muscular man next to him was also affected and struck by a large amount of lightning.
The man let out a pitiful howl, and his body immediately began to emit a burnt smell.
However, his slashed wound happened to be charred by electricity, turning it black and successfully stopping the bleeding.
When the thunder subsided, the muscular man was already lying on the ground, his fate unknown.
Chen Shaojie stared intently in Lin Xu's direction, a hint of mockery and arrogance playing on his lips.
"Just a commoner, obviously no match for him. Our Chen family..."
Chen Shaojie didn't finish his sentence.
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Shaojie. Before Chen Shaojie, who was resting his chin on his hand, could react, a large foot kicked him down from above.
Chen Shaojie crashed headfirst into the ground, smashing through the golden chair and stone base before sinking into a large pit.
Lin Xu slowly retracted his large foot and twisted his neck:
"You're so smug just because you used a little bit of electric shock technology? You're still too young, Young Master Chen."
