"It's very simple. When a novice swordsmith like me hunts insect beasts for the first time, he is usually accompanied by a senior swordsmith. But after you heard that I was a novice, you didn't even ask where my companion was.
, as if I already know that I am the only one!"
Lin Ze looked at Wu Weilin and said calmly, "Ding Beiye must have sent you here!"
Wu Weilin obviously came for him, and he also knew that he went out to hunt soul beasts alone. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Ding Beiye was behind it. After all, he had only offended one person in the entire Blackstone settlement, Ding Beiye.
That guy was indeed very vindictive, and he actually sent people to follow him to the ruins of the city to kill him.
Wu Weilin's face became more and more gloomy: "Based on this alone, you think that I want to do you harm?"
"And your backpack is too light. According to your own statement, you have been in the ruins of this city for four days. Even if you are a novice swordsmith, the insect cores you hunted during this time are enough to fill your backpack.
, unless your purpose here is not to hunt insects and beasts, but to find people!"
"Of course, the most important thing is that the combat uniform you are wearing only has the logo of the settlement, and does not have the logo of the Swordsmiths Guild or the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce. The entire settlement can only be like this by the special security team under the jurisdiction of the Autonomous Committee. A special security team
The swordsmith of the team came here, not to hunt insect beasts but to find people, haha, what a weird idea!"
Wu Weilin gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Ze. He didn't expect this guy to be so shrewd, and he could see through his lies at once.
In fact, he had been searching for Lin Ze everywhere in the past few days. To this end, he searched all the steel soldier insect settlements marked on the map, and finally discovered a large number of 'fresh' battle traces in the nearby square.
Originally, as he thought, a just graduated novice swordsmith, no matter how strong he was, his strength was limited. With his level 2 strength of 29% of the soul sword progress, wouldn't it be easy to kill the opponent?
However, the traces of battle left near the square poured cold water on him. Among the insect corpses left at the scene were not only ordinary steel soldier bugs, but also elite steel soldier bugs, and there were a lot of them.
That's a second-level insect beast!
If Lin Ze did all of this, then his strength might not be weaker than his own!
Although it was just a guess, Wu Weilin didn't want to take risks, so when he saw Lin Ze, he pretended to be a swordsmith he met by chance, intending to get close to Lin Ze and make a sneak attack when he was unprepared. Unexpectedly, he was discovered immediately.
Instead, he was defeated by an army.
Glancing at the bleeding wound on his abdomen, Wu Weilin was filled with annoyance and stared at Lin Ze with murderous intent.
"Okay, now it's time to send you on your way!" Lin Ze waved the blade, which was already covered with a layer of hazy airflow.
The reason why he explained so much to Wu Weilin was to buy time to condense the sword. Now that the preparations were completed, he did not intend to talk nonsense with the opponent anymore. He kicked his feet and rushed forward, reaching Wu Weilin in the blink of an eye.
The sword flashed quickly, tearing apart the void in an instant.
A fierce look appeared on Wu Weilin's face, and he faced him with a sword.
Clang!
Two blades of cold light collided in the void, bursting out dazzling sparks. Wu Weilin's expression changed, and he felt an unbearable force coming from the blade. He involuntarily stepped back four or five steps, and looked up in shock.
Xiang Linze.
Why is this guy so powerful?
In a panic, Lin Ze had already attacked again, and the sword light was flying, covering Wu Weilin's whole body.
Wu Weilin felt like a wooden boat drifting in the storm, with strong winds and huge waves coming from all directions, and it would be overturned if he was not careful.
He originally expected that Lin Ze was not weak, but he didn't expect that the actual result was even stronger than he imagined. This guy was so fast that he couldn't even be considered human.
In shock, Wu Weilin had no choice but to show his trump card.
In another fight, Lin Ze suddenly felt a strange shock wave erupt from where the blades collided, and hit him face to face.
Caught off guard, as if he was hit head-on by an iron hammer, Lin Ze let out a muffled groan and took several steps back.
"Is this a soul knife characteristic?"
After standing firm, he glanced at Wu Weilin in surprise, his expression slightly solemn.
Most first-level sword-smiths are still in the realm of absorbing steel-attributed soul energy. However, second-level sword-smiths have usually begun to absorb the second type of soul energy, and with that, the white sword begins to show the corresponding properties.
characteristic.
At this time, the swordsmith can already use the strange power corresponding to the soul knife. Although it is only a very small part of the power, it is still a powerful advantage compared to the first-level swordsmith.
After forcing Lin Ze back with one blow, Wu Weilin breathed a sigh of relief, and a ferocious and proud smile appeared on his face.
"This is the difference between a first-level swordsmith and a second-level swordsmith. Boy, as long as you haven't condensed the characteristics of the soul knife, you are destined to be no match for me!"
Lin Ze seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and his expression remained calm.
Seeing this, Wu Weilin sneered, swung his blade, and killed Lin Ze again.
The crisp and dense sound of knife strikes echoed over the empty ruins and spread far away. If the nearby steel soldier insects had not been cleaned up by Lin Ze, they might have attracted many insect beasts.
And among the rapid and fierce sound of the knife, there were occasional bursts of weird explosions.
After fighting for more than ten times, Lin Ze finally figured out the characteristics of Wu Weilin's soul knife. Whenever his blade hits, it will produce a shock wave like an explosion. Although the power is far worse than a real explosion, it
It's no less than a frontal hit with a heavy hammer.
Moreover, this shock wave will only attack the opponent and will not affect the user himself at all. Therefore, every time the two sides fight, Lin Ze has to withstand two consecutive hits, which is extremely difficult.
However, the situation of the battle turned around in an instant after he mobilized his energy to wrap his upper body. Wu Weilin soon discovered to his shock that his explosive wave was unable to harm his opponent.
What's going on?
Under careful observation, Wu Weilin noticed that Lin Ze's body surface seemed to be covered with a layer of invisible gas, and there was a strange slightly twisted phenomenon on the surface of the entire upper body.
However, although he noticed it, the doubts and shock in Wu Weilin's heart did not decrease but increased. What the hell is this?
This layer of invisible gas is very tough. The explosion shock wave hit it and only set off ripples like circles, but it was still unable to break through.
In anxiety, shock and anger, Wu Weilin's attack became more fierce, and the white knife slashed hard at Lin Ze's chest.
However, facing his slashing attack, Lin Ze did not dodge this time and allowed the sharp blade to hit his chest.
puff!
The blade felt as if it had been cut into thick leather. Wu Weilin was startled and immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. He leaned back and tried to distance himself quickly, but the cold light in front of him flashed away, and his throat felt cold, as if there was something warm.
The hot liquid splashed out, and the vision was instantly stained with scarlet blood.
Clang!
The white knife fell to the ground. Wu Weilin held his throat tightly, but he was still unable to stop the loss of blood. At the same time, he also lost all his strength. Soon, he collapsed to the ground and looked at Lin Ze with wide eyes.
It's disbelief, unwillingness and fear.
After struggling for a long time, Wu Weilin took his last breath and lost his life.
Lin Ze squinted at Wu Weilin's body and felt a little emotional in his heart. The characteristics of the soul knife were really strange. If he hadn't mastered the energy, he would have been killed by Wu Weilin.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Ze turned around and picked up Wu Weilin's backpack and searched carefully. As expected, apart from a small amount of food, there were only a dozen or so insect cores. Judging from the size, they were just ordinary insect cores. It should have been when Wu Weilin was on his way.
An insect beast that was easily killed.
Seeing this, he quickly lost interest, threw down his backpack and turned around, heading towards the exit of the city ruins.
Wu Weilin's body was lying quietly on the spot, and it would not be long before it became food for passing insects and beasts.
