Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 341 The Perfected State of Man and Blade: A Mutant Ape Possessing Treasures of the Heavens

"Everyone, retreat three hundred meters!"

"This battle is not something you can interfere with."

Lin Xiu spoke calmly.

The soldiers immediately obeyed the order and quickly retreated to a safe distance.

In the center of the battlefield, only Lin Xiu remained, standing with his knife, confronting the terrifying mutated clouded leopard.

Two completely different energy fields collided violently in the air, producing a teeth-grinding buzzing sound, and the gravel on the ground trembled under the pressure.

In the distance, the mutated clouded leopard suddenly moved!
Its speed was so fast that it left afterimages; its massive body appeared before Lin Xiu like a ghost, its sharp claws carrying a chilling aura, drawing blue and white trails in the air as it aimed directly at Lin Xiu's body.
"Qiang——!"

A crisp clang of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield.

Lin Xiu's longsword parried precisely, the sharp light flowing on the blade colliding fiercely with the icy claws, bursting into dazzling sparks.

Centered on the two individuals, a visible shockwave suddenly spread outwards, instantly cracking the ground within a radius of 100 meters and sending debris flying!
The mutated clouded leopard, having missed its first attack, immediately changed tactics.

Its massive body displayed incredible agility; with a sideways whip, its tail, covered in ice spikes, swept across like a steel whip!

The terrifying power contained in this strike was enough to easily pierce through steel.

Lin Xiu's figure floated up as lightly as a willow catkin, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow at the last second; the long sword in his hand drew a perfect arc in the air, and a dazzling silver light suddenly shone on the blade.

"laugh!"

With a flash of light, the tip of the mutated clouded leopard's tail was severed!

But what's even more terrifying is that the blade's momentum didn't diminish; it continued to fly forward, neatly slicing the distant trees in two.

The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. The upper half slowly slid down and crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Roar!!"

The mutated clouded leopard roared in pain, its dark eyes blazing with furious flames; it suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a blue-white beam of light, more than two meters in diameter, shot out!

Wherever this beam of light passed, the air froze into solid ice crystals, the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice, and the temperature plummeted to its lowest point!
Faced with this fatal blow, Lin Xiu did not retreat but advanced instead.

His body shone brightly, and he seemed to merge with the long sword.

In his flawless state, every movement he made was natural and without any flaws.

The longsword traced a mysterious trajectory in the air, its sharp edge unleashing its full power, actually splitting the pillar of icy light in two!
The cleaved beam of light grazed past Lin Xiu's sides and exploded hundreds of meters behind him; a terrifying cold wave instantly swept across the rear of the battlefield, freezing the defensive line into a crystalline ice sculpture.

The concrete blocks that had been broken during the beast tide were hit by the aftershocks and instantly froze into dust!
The mutated clouded leopard seemed to be completely enraged.

It suddenly stood up on its hind legs and slammed its two front paws heavily onto the ground!
"boom!!!"

Centered on it, countless sharp ice spikes suddenly shot out from the ground within a radius of 100 meters. Each spike was as thick as an adult's thigh and its tip gleamed with a deadly cold light!
Lin Xiu's figure flashed rapidly through the icy jungle, his longsword flashing like a silver light.

With each slash, dozens of ice spikes were severed at the root; but these broken ice spikes actually reformed in mid-air and continued to stab at him!

Lin Xiu's gaze remained calm as he transformed into a streak of light, effortlessly dodging all the incoming ice spikes as if he had anticipated it.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiu had broken through the ice spike blockade and appeared in front of the mutated clouded leopard.

The long sword, sharp enough to cut through anything, aimed straight for the opponent's brow!
"Roar!!!"

The mutated clouded leopard hastily raised its forepaw to block, but it was directly severed by the blade!

The blade's momentum didn't wane, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on its face.

"Hoohoho!!!"

The excruciating pain drove the mutated clouded leopard completely insane.

It pounced on Lin Xiu without hesitation, its massive body resembling a moving mountain.

Wherever it passed, the ground froze and cracked, and countless ice crystal blades condensed in the air, attacking Lin Xiu from all directions!

Lin Xiu's figure, however, moved like a fish through the gaps in the attacks.

In his perfect state, every movement he made was flawless, and every strike was perfectly timed.

He pushed the sharpness of the longsword to its limit, easily severing everything the blade touched.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The aftershocks of their battle continued to spread, ravaging the ground within a radius of several hundred meters beyond recognition.

The intertwining of ice and blade energy created a deathly realm.

The soldiers watching from a distance had to continue retreating, and some of the slower ones were even injured by the debris kicked up by the aftershocks.

Finally, after a devastating collision, the center of the battlefield fell silent.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene on the battlefield made everyone gasp in shock.

Lin Xiu's longsword had already pierced through the chest of the mutated clouded leopard, with the tip protruding from its back. Just as Lin Xiu exerted force with his wrist, preparing to slash the longsword horizontally and cut the ferocious beast in half, the mutated clouded leopard suddenly let out a deafening roar!

"Roar--!!!"

An unprecedented, terrifying chill erupted from its body!
A deep blue ice crystal spread along the blade at a visible speed, freezing the entire longsword in the blink of an eye. "Crack! Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out in the air, and fine cracks formed on the blade beneath the ice crystals. A ferocious glint flashed in the mutated clouded leopard's dark pupils as it suddenly twisted its body!
"Crack!"

With a crisp crack, the longsword, shrouded in ice, was twisted in two! The blade broke in two, but countless fragments scattered around. Of the two largest fragments, one remained embedded in the mutated clouded leopard's body, while the other remained in Lin Xiu's hand.

Lin Xiu retreated quickly, his brows furrowed as he looked at the half-broken hilt of the knife in his hand.

In the distance, the mutated clouded leopard bit the half-blade stuck in its body with its teeth, then suddenly shook its head and spat the blade fragments onto the ground.

His black pupils emanated a chilling, bloodthirsty aura; the ferocity and brutality in his gaze sent shivers down the spines of soldiers hundreds of meters away.

"Clap."

The broken blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The wound on the chest of the mutated clouded leopard is being filled and healed by ice at a visible speed.

Lin Xiu frowned slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a brand-new longsword appeared from his spatial ring.

As a member of the Celestial Pivot Bureau and the holder of the All-Heavens Character Template, how could he possibly not have a spatial ring?

He had foreseen this scene long ago, so he prepared many knives in his spatial ring.

"Go all out!"

He whispered, his voice calm.

Sharp supernatural powers surged towards the blade like a tide, and the seven-colored light of the ultimate in seamless armor once again shone around it.

The mutated clouded leopard stared intently at him with its dark pupils. Without the slightest hesitation, its massive body suddenly transformed into a bolt of silver lightning!
The giant beast, several meters tall, moved so fast that it left afterimages, and the ground in its path instantly froze into a thick layer of ice.

"boom!!!"

The moment the two collided, a terrifying shockwave exploded out in a ring shape.

Lin Xiu's longsword struck the clouded leopard's outstretched forepaw with pinpoint accuracy, unleashing a blinding burst of light.

"Shh!"

Lin Xiu moved swiftly, his longsword drawing an arc in the air before striking the mutated clouded leopard.

This strike was incredibly fast, faster than the mutated clouded leopard's reaction time.

The mutated clouded leopard let out a painful roar, and a deep, bone-revealing wound instantly burst open on its body.

But given its already aroused ferocity, a little pain will only make it more savage, not more fearful.

In an instant, a terrifying cold wave spread wildly from it, freezing even the air into solid ice crystals wherever it passed!
Lin Xiu's figure darted rapidly through the cold wave, his long sword flashing as it created a silver light curtain.

The blade's sharpness, pushed to its limit, actually cleaved the incoming cold wave in two!

In an instant, Lin Xiu's blade light had already reached the mutated clouded leopard, the sharp blade intent cutting through the air, about to pierce through the mutated clouded leopard's body in the next second.

"Qiang!"

A crisp clang of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield.

A long sword appeared out of thin air and with a casual flick, it sent Lin Xiu's deadly attack flying!
All eyes fell on the mutated clouded leopard, where a slender ape had appeared out of nowhere.

It stands about two meters tall, covered in silver-gray fur, yet its body is as upright as a pine tree. If it weren't for its prominent fur, it would look like a human dressed as an ape.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

"well done."

The ape slowly spoke, addressing the mutated clouded leopard.

Although slow, his pronunciation was as clear as a human's! And it was the Great Xia language!
The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene in disbelief.

The mutated beast spoke?
Are you kidding me?! How can a mutated beast talk?!
No, that's not quite right either. Third-tier mutated creatures are basically no less intelligent than twelve-year-old children. If they were already intelligent before the mutation, it's not incomprehensible that they could rival adult humans.

However, having wisdom comparable to that of an adult human and mastering human language are two different things, let alone the Daxia language, which is difficult to understand among various countries.

How did a mutated beast learn the language of the Great Xia Dynasty when it lived in the wild without any guidance?
Lin Xiu's expression instantly became extremely serious.

Everyone else's attention was focused on the mutated ape that had suddenly appeared and mastered the Great Xia language, but his gaze was fixed on the blade in the ape's hand.

Something's wrong with that knife.

The blade, hilt, and guard do not resemble traditional Daxia swords; they are more like cherry blossom swords.

How could a cherry blossom sword possibly appear in the wild?

Was it left behind by someone before the resurrection of spiritual energy?

But if that's the case, why is this knife already sharpened?!

As Lin Xiu pondered, a guess emerged in his mind.

Although he didn't want it to be as he thought, this knife was very likely a "treasure from the heavens" from another world!
