Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 343 One-Hit Kill: The Demon Blade Murasame, a Battle Only for the Strong
"I have seen the standards for judging the strength of extraordinary individuals in the Great Xia Dynasty, and I know that I may only have reached the fourth level in them."

"Whether it's Ye Shen or Yan Wang Dijun, they are both sixth-tier beings. There is an insurmountable gap between us."

"In your opinion, since I knew their strength, I shouldn't have launched a beast tide to attack human cities, but that was only under the condition that I knew their strength."

At this point, the mutated ape deliberately paused, its amber vertical pupils carefully scanning each human's face, observing the constantly changing expressions on their faces.

Confusion, shock, contemplation, sudden realization.

This feeling of being understood by intelligent life filled it with an unprecedented joy.

Among the beasts, although it is the king, the intelligence of those mutated creatures remains at the level of instinct.

They would obey its every command unconditionally, but they would never understand why it did so, much less engage in intellectual exchange like they do now.

This is certainly good, but it also makes it somewhat lonely.

That's why it talks so much to these humans, even going so far as to share its plans and reasons with them bit by bit.

After observing their expressions, the mutated ape continued to speak.

“I have asked many people on the internet, and even consulted the artificial intelligence you created.”

"Through them, I gradually came to understand what kind of people Ye Shen and Yan Wang Dijun were."

"Although they are the strongest beings in the Great Xia Dynasty, like gods, most of the time they do not interfere in the war between the Great Xia Dynasty and us mutated creatures."

"During the first spiritual energy tide, Ye Shen did take action, but only in Hangzhou; during the second spiritual energy tide, he did not make any move at all."

"At first I thought it was because Hangzhou was strong enough to deal with the beast tide, but I understood the reason from the answers of humans and artificial intelligence."

A glint of intelligence flashed in the mutated ape's eyes:

"Ye Shen's first move was just a whim, or rather, a momentary impulse."

"From the perspective of you humans and artificial intelligence, Ye Shen and Yan Wang Dijun would prefer that Great Xia experience growth and hardship; unless there is a crisis that truly threatens the survival of Great Xia, they will not deliberately intervene."

"This is a trial for the offspring, just as we wild animals teach our cubs in the same way."

"Right now, I am only at the fourth level. Although I am a threat to the entire Great Xia, what I am after is only Yun Chuan City."

"Such losses are entirely within the acceptable range for Great Xia."

"Moreover, the Great Xia is not powerless to deal with me; or rather, I am a good whetstone for the Great Xia."

"Therefore, those two supreme experts will not make a move, which is the fundamental reason why I dared to launch this beast tide."

This analysis left the soldiers present looking at each other in bewilderment, and the commander's expression became extremely solemn. This mutated ape's understanding of the Great Xia was far too thorough.

It's hard to imagine that a mutated beast that ate the Human-Human Fruit could analyze so much information after gaining human intelligence.

Although it may seem that this information is not difficult to analyze, that is under the condition that humans have received a complete education from childhood and have been nourished by countless information. How long has this mutated ape acquired human intelligence?

It hasn't even been half a year!
A fourth-order mutated creature is indeed not insurmountable for the Great Xia.

Aside from Ye Shen and Elder Zhong, there are many other holders of celestial treasures whose strength is comparable to that of a fourth-tier cultivator, but whose spiritual power is not as high as that of a fourth-tier cultivator, and even Kamen Riders whose strength is comparable to that of a fourth-tier cultivator.

As a whetstone, it is quite suitable, and Professor Zhong might even be pleased with its appearance.

But for Yunchuan City, this is definitely not good news.

No one wants to be the first city to be overrun by mutated creatures after the spiritual energy revival. Although the first one has already occurred, no one wants to be the second city to be overrun.

At least Yunchuan City doesn't want it!

"Now, you should understand, right?"

The mutated ape calmly gazed at the humans before it and told them all the reasons for launching the beast tide against Yunchuan City.

However, what it didn't say was that behind these words lay a much deeper consideration.

Through information obtained online and communication with artificial intelligence, it has clearly understood just how terrifying the power and potential of that "god" truly is.

Logically speaking, it felt it could never catch up with the other.

"Whetstone" is the role it has chosen for itself, and for the entire mutant species.

It does intend to gradually expand from Yunchuan City, but this expansion will eventually have a limit.

When its sphere of influence reaches a certain critical point, it will proactively change course and turn its attention to the vast regions beyond human cities.

There, it will become the common king of all mutated creatures, establishing a kingdom that can rival humanity.

Conflict is inevitable, but a war of life and death must never happen.

This is a conclusion it reached after careful consideration.

Its ideal state is to maintain a balance between humans and mutated creatures through continuous friction and confrontation.

"If one day I could gain power surpassing that of the gods."

The thought flashed through its mind, but was quickly suppressed by reason; until that day arrives, it will perfectly play the role of a "sharpening stone." After Lin Xiu began recounting his experiences from the perspective of the mutated ape, he remained silent. Now, having heard everything, he didn't think about anything more, nor should he think about such things now.

War is inevitable.

The enemy wants to capture Yunchuan City, but he will not allow Yunchuan City to be captured.

Therefore, there is only one thing he needs to do.

"It's no use talking more."

Lin Xiu's gaze was as sharp as a blade as he slowly assumed a fighting stance.

He simultaneously opened the three gates of the realm of selflessness: the limit of perfection, the limit of refinement, and the limit of radiant talent, and light flowed around him.

Upon seeing this, the mutated ape also held its long sword horizontally in front of its chest.

"I obtained this knife by chance; it is extremely sharp and contains poison."

"Any life wounded by it cannot be healed and will die in pain over time."

“I searched for it in artificial intelligence. This should be the weapon you call the ‘Treasure of the Heavens’. Its name is: One-Hit Kill Demon Blade Murasame.”

"So, remember to dodge my blade!"

The mutated ape's voice suddenly turned dangerous, and as soon as it finished speaking, its figure vanished!
The next second, the blade was already at Lin Xiu's throat!
"Qiang!"

The deafening clang of metal clashing echoed across the battlefield.

Lin Xiu's longsword parried precisely, the sharp light of his supernatural power swirling intensely on the blade; the shockwave generated by the collision of the two terrifying forces continued to expand outwards!

"So fast!"

Lin Xiu was secretly alarmed.

This mutated ape was even faster than the mutated clouded leopard from before.

If it weren't for his extraordinary talent allowing him to glimpse the future, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.

However, the information that I have obtained so far is too little to fully see the future.

The blades flashed like lightning as the two figures clashed rapidly across the battlefield. Each collision unleashed a deafening roar, and the shockwaves ripped up layers of the surrounding ground, sending debris flying everywhere.

Lin Xiu's longsword, tempered to its limit through countless trials, carries the weight of decades of accumulated experience with every strike. Its momentum is as steady as a mountain, and it holds its own even against the power of the mutated ape.

The blade sliced ​​through the air with a dull whistling sound, as if even the space itself was being compressed by the heavy force of the blade.

In the constant battles, the limit of his talent allowed Lin Xiu to predict the trajectory of each attack by the mutated ape before it made a move.

The longsword always appeared precisely at the most critical defensive position, defusing the mutated ape's fierce attacks one by one.

He has now become one with the longsword.

Every movement was perfectly natural and flawless.

However, the strength displayed by the mutated apes was even more astonishing.

It was faster and stronger than Lin Xiu. Although it did not understand sophisticated swordsmanship, it forced Lin Xiu to retreat step by step by relying on its beast-like intuition and super-strong five senses.

And its learning ability.

After each encounter, it could quickly adjust its tactics, learning Lin Xiu's moves little by little. It was hard to doubt that the current fierce battle between the two was not the result of it deliberately holding back.

The mutated apes' attacks were like a storm, and the demon sword Murasame drew countless deadly trajectories in the air.

Lin Xiu wielded his longsword, constantly parrying the attacks of the mutated ape. He couldn't be sure how powerful the Murasame demon sword's one-hit kill effect was in the real world, or whether his spiritual power could resist the poison or help him expel it from his body.
If that doesn't work, then the moment he's slashed, his death is already predetermined.

Therefore, he must avoid any possibility of being cut by the demon sword Murasame.

Even the slightest oversight can have fatal consequences.

Between heaven and earth, two figures clashed and collided like lightning, each clash generating a deafening roar.

Debris flew everywhere, dust filled the sky, and deep craters appeared one after another on the battlefield.

The support troops from the Tian Shu Bureau had arrived at the edge of the battlefield, but everyone could only stand there and watch helplessly as this battle, which did not belong to the "weak," unfolded.

Their eyes couldn't even catch a glimpse of the two lightning-fast figures; they could only judge the intensity of the battle by the deep craters constantly exploding in the ground and the sounds of clashing blades in the air.

"too fast"

A soldier muttered to himself, his pupils contracting sharply, yet he still couldn't make out any details.

In his field of vision, he could only see a large crater suddenly explode in the ground, and then another section of the ground hundreds of meters away collapsed without warning.

The clanging sounds of blades clashing came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the battle.

The commander clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
