The phantom leaped forward, wielding a scythe, and then swung it down in a cleaver.
Lin Xu raised his golden sword to block, but then felt a tremendous force pressing down on his arm, causing his feet to sink into the ground.
"Such immense power! Such incredible speed!"
Lin Xu was shocked and used his sword skills to clash with the Phantom.
However, the Phantom's scythe attacks were faster and faster, and Lin Xu could only barely defend against a few blows even when using the Shuofeng Sword Technique.
He summoned the north wind, but with a swing of the Phantom Scythe, the fierce wind was scattered and rendered harmless.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xu retreated and quickly shot out golden hair.
Phantom, however, was prepared. She once again blocked with her scythe, which emitted an eerie blue halo. The golden spikes were blocked by the blue light and failed to penetrate the goat monster's body.
The next moment, the Phantom Scythe slashed down again, and Lin Xu was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"In terms of swordsmanship and physical strength, I'm no match for him! Even if I use my superpowers, I probably still won't have the upper hand!"
Lin Xu quickly made a decision in his mind, but when the phantom rushed over again, he still tried to use Life Suction.
A surge of life force erupted from the Phantom's body, causing it to tremble violently.
But before Lin Xu could be happy, Phantom suddenly tilted her head back and made a sucking motion.
Lin Xu felt a tremor in his spirit, as if something was being sucked out of his head, a feeling completely different from the release of life force.
Then he saw streaks of blue light appear in front of him.
"Is that my soul?"
A sudden realization dawned on Lin Xu.
This female demon can actually suck souls!
At this moment, both of them released this sucking ability at the same time, causing discomfort to each other.
The next moment, both of their abilities were interrupted simultaneously, as their special powers interfered with each other, preventing them from using their skills.
Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine.
It seems his life-saving ability is ineffective against the Phantom; under the influence of soul absorption, he cannot successfully use this ability.
Moreover, he also had to guard against the Phantom's soul-sucking ability.
Otherwise, if Phantom had successfully executed this move, he would have been finished immediately.
The Phantom continued to swing its scythe down, but instead let out a boastful laugh:
"Human, no matter how clever you are, you have fallen into my trap! I know all your tricks now, and no matter what you use, you cannot harm me! Human, you are destined to be my slave!"
Amidst the phantom's maniacal laughter, the scythe swung down with incredible speed.
Lin Xu managed to defend himself several times, but was forced to retreat over a hundred meters, his arms becoming numb.
"This woman's movements seem very hurried. Sometimes she even risks mutual harm to attack me. It seems she's not good at prolonged battles, or she's restricted in some way and can't fight for long."
Lin Xu discerned the Phantom's weakness.
Even so, he didn't have any good solutions.
The Phantom's suppressive power was too strong. Even if he knew that continuing to delay would be beneficial to himself, he might not be able to do it.
"If this continues, I'll really be suppressed by this woman. If I lose to her, my fate will definitely not be good..."
As Lin Xu thought this, he remembered what the woman had said.
The Phantom said he had seen all of her trump cards, and that all her methods were ineffective against this woman.
"only……"
A slight smile curved the corners of Lin Xu's lips...
"Do you really think that's all the methods I have?"
Lin Xu still remembered the conclusions he had drawn from the previous battle.
His greatest trump card is not his swordsmanship inheritance, dual superpowers, or even his immeasurable enlightenment ability.
From the very beginning, his greatest strength was his talent!
A unique, top-tier talent that allows for the infinite stacking of items!
Lin Xu observed the moment his weapon clashed with the Phantom Scythe.
From the moment Phantom took out the scythe, Lin Xu noticed its unusual nature.
The blade of this scythe is not made of ordinary metal, but of some kind of soul-like material containing strange power.
Each time his longsword clashed with his scythe, a shard of the scythe would be cleaved off.
However, when the Phantom sweeps his hands across the scythe, the blade will return to its original shape, becoming a complete scythe again.
The power wielded by the Phantom is largely related to this scythe.
When Lin Xu was preparing his trump card, he actually secretly hid some fragments of Phantom's clothes from before.
Lin Xu tore off small pieces of Phantom's robe, evening gown, and underwear and hid them in his personal space.
He felt that this outfit held some secrets, and that if he used his talents to stack them, he might obtain some powerful equipment.
However, he now felt that the best object to stack up was indeed the fragments of this scythe.
After using his stacking talent multiple times, Lin Xu has determined that the items created by this talent are neutral and will not naturally recognize any one person as their master.
In other words, as long as he holds the stacked scythe fragments in his hand, he can control the new scythe.
At this moment, Lin Xu suddenly swung his golden sword, and the hair on his body shot out rapidly and continuously.
The Phantom had already witnessed the power of this hair.
Although the area of attack of this hair is very small, it can turn other substances into gold.
She didn't want her goat-like monster form to be turned into something like those golden-armored losers.
The Phantom immediately swung its scythe to block the golden hair.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xu shot out hairs while approaching the location of the previous battle, and scooped up some scythe blade fragments from the ground.
After Lin Xu stopped shooting at the golden hair, Phantom looked up and saw what Lin Xu had done.
She couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile:
"Human, you've truly fallen into a corner! Although my weapon is a soul weapon, it can't be assembled into a complete weapon from just a few fragments! And you can't control the fragments of my weapon either!"
"Is that so..."
Lin Xu responded calmly, but with a smile on his face.
He reached out and wiped his hand across the shards of the sickle.
The next moment, these fragments actually merged together and formed a complete bone blade.
Lin Xu grasped the bone blade, and a huge scythe quickly grew in his hand.
This scythe is smaller than the Phantom's weapon, and the blade flickers erratically, making it look rather unstable.
Compared to the Phantom's scythe, this fragmented scythe is indeed much weaker.
But upon seeing the scythe appear, the phantom screamed in terror:
"How is this possible! Human! What have you done! This soul scythe, which I meticulously crafted and made exclusively for me, how could you so easily copy it!"
Lin Xu did not answer Phantom; he was checking the attributes of the scythe in his hand.
The Five-Layered Soul Devourer
【Quality: Exceptional】
[Introduction: How did you get your hands on an unclaimed soul weapon? Are you the creator of a world bug?]
[Characteristic 1: Can infuse soul power into weapons to injure enemies with soul force.]
【Characteristic 2: Fragmented Soul Enhancement. This weapon is forged from fragments, but it is incomplete and can only exert a portion of the soul enhancement effect, which can slightly improve overall physical attributes and soul qualities.】
"Incomplete?"
Lin Xu glanced at the weapon description, his eyes flashing:
"Being incomplete means that the number of weapons stacked is not enough!"
"If we keep accumulating fragments, will this weapon eventually become complete?"
Lin Xu's gaze fell on the scythe in Phantom's hand.
His eyes became incredibly eager.
"If I get more fragments of this woman's scythe, will my scythe undergo a qualitative change?"
