The shuttle in the second dimension

　With a series of brake squeaks, more than a dozen jeeps and six or seven military trucks stopped, and then a large group of people got out of the vehicles.

　This group of people were none other than the People's Liberation Army, and Lin Xuan and Alice were among the crowd.

　At this time, Lin Xuan and Alice were discussing with a middle-aged man in camouflage uniform how to annihilate this stronghold. The middle-aged man was the person in charge of this mission - Scar.

　"Skar, then let's do as we discussed before. Alice will sneak in and assassinate the commander of this stronghold first. I will be the vanguard and tear a big hole in the stronghold's defense line. Then I will let your people attack from the hole I tore and directly destroy this stronghold." Lin Xuan said after glancing at the stronghold two kilometers away.

　"Yes, that's right." The middle-aged man, Scar, nodded in response after hearing Lin Xuan's words.

　"Well, that's no problem, I--" When he said this, Lin Xuan casually glanced into the distance, but with just this glance, he was stunned, and the words in his mouth stopped at the same time.

　After more than ten seconds, Lin Xuan suddenly grinned and laughed excitedly.

　"No - Scar, the plan has changed. You just need to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield -" Looking in a certain direction, Lin Xuan said excitedly.

Chapter 52: Instant Kill

　"No—Ska, the plan has changed. You just need to clean up the battlefield—" He looked in a certain direction.

　"Huh!?" Scar looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment. He had no idea what Lin Xuan was up to. They were just talking fine just now, why did he suddenly change the plan? And what did he mean that you only need to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield?

　"Lin Xuan, what do you mean? Wasn't the plan just now discussed by the three of us? What exactly do you want to do?" Obviously, Lin Xuan's sudden proposal to change the plan made Scar a little uncomfortable.

　Meanwhile, Alice was also looking at Lin Xuan with a puzzled expression. Lin Xuan looked like he had suddenly discovered something, and this discovery was most likely the reason for his sudden change of plans. This made him curious. What on earth had he discovered that had caused Lin Xuan to make such a decision? Moreover, Lin Xuan looked like he was—excited!?

　Alice was not wrong. Lin Xuan was indeed very excited now because he had just seen a figure, a pure white figure. It was because of seeing that figure that Lin Xuan made the decision to temporarily change his plan.

　"What do I want to do? You'll know if you stay aside and watch carefully." As he said that, Lin Xuan walked step by step towards the stronghold of their mission target.

　"Come out——[Destroy]"

　As Lin Xuan whispered, a jet-black flame erupted from his palm. As Lin Xuan clenched his left hand, the jet-black flame suddenly spread out, revealing the jet-black sword that had been hidden under the flame. This time,

　He saw that his left hand was tightly grasping the scabbard. The next moment, a huge magical power rose from Lin Xuan's body. As the magical power rose, Lin Xuan rushed out suddenly.

　Seeing Lin Xuan's move, Scar and Alice looked at each other, then rushed out together, leaving the group of soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.

　Lin Xuan's speed was so fast that he covered the two kilometers in a short while. He was now a hundred meters away from the stronghold. This distance was very close, enough for the enemy to discover him. In fact, the enemy did discover him, but they did not act rashly. Instead, they stared at Lin Xuan vigilantly, and all their weapons were aimed at him. It seemed that as long as Lin Xuan made any unusual move, they would open fire and shoot him into a sieve...

　One

　A few seconds after Lin Xuan arrived, Scar and Alice followed. Alice might not know what Lin Xuan wanted to do, but Scar had a vague guess about it. Like Lin Xuan, Scar had been on this battlefield for four years and always heard things about Lin Xuan. He knew that Lin Xuan had the terrifying title of "Butcher" and had also heard many stories about Lin Xuan taking down strongholds alone.

　'Is this guy planning to sweep this stronghold by himself?' Others might not know, but Scar had researched the stronghold before the mission and knew there were several powerful swordsmen within. This wasn't a stronghold filled with ordinary people.

　But the scene that followed completely shocked Scar and Alice.

　He placed his right hand on the hilt, gripping it tightly. Then, he slowly pulled [Slash] out of its scabbard. As [Slash] was pulled out, a massive destructive force could be seen swirling around the pitch-black blade.

　When Lin Xuan began to draw his sword, the people in the opposite stronghold finally couldn't bear it anymore and started firing at him. The next moment, countless bullets attacked Lin Xuan, but unfortunately, when those bullets touched Lin Xuan's clothes, a flash of dark light flashed by, and then the bullet disappeared. That flash of dark light was nothing but the power of destruction.

　When summoning [Destruction], Lin Xuan would attach a layer of destructive power to his body as a protection. It was as if the bullets that hit Lin Xuan were all destroyed by the destructive power attached to Lin Xuan, leaving nothing behind.

　When Lin Xuan completely pulled out [Slash], a terrifying aura emanated from his body. The pitch-black body of [Slash] condensed a terrifying destructive force...

　"——Dragon Blade——Nine" Lin Xuan muttered while tightly gripping the [Destroy] in his hand. While muttering, Lin Xuan swung the [Destroy] in his hand.

　As Lin Xuan swung out [Destroy], the air began to vibrate violently. At this time, the terrifying destructive force condensed on the blade of [Destroy] began to be released. The destructive force condensed on the black blade turned into one black giant dragon after another.

　There were nine pitch-black dragons in total. Each of them danced with its huge body and attacked their target, which was the stronghold.

　At this time, the people in the stronghold were already stunned by the shock. The scene before them was simply too much for them to bear. Not only them, but also Alice and Scar who were standing behind Lin Xuan were also stunned by the shock.

　The people in the stronghold were stunned, but Lin Xuan would not wait for them to recover before taking action. He was in a hurry. The nine-headed black dragon suddenly attacked the stronghold.

　The next moment, a giant pitch-black dragon crashed into the stronghold. Following closely behind, the nine-headed dragon demonstrated the terrifying power of destruction to Alice and Scar. The seemingly sturdy Stronghold 4.7 was powerless against the giant pitch-black dragon, and was directly wiped off the face of the earth by its terrifying destructive force.

　When those pitch-black dragons dispersed, the stronghold also disappeared, and all that remained was the huge hole in the ground.

　In the blink of an eye, an entire stronghold was reduced to ashes, leaving no trace behind.

　Clang——

　The sudden crisp collision sound suddenly woke up Alice and Scar who were in shock. At this time, the two came to their senses and realized that it was the sound of Lin Xuan putting the knife back into the sheath.

　"I have something to do and I'm leaving now. You guys can handle the rest of the matter yourselves." After saying that, Lin Xuan left without caring whether Alice and Scar agreed or not, leaving behind the two people with stunned faces.

Chapter 53: First Meeting with Biyi

　There have been a lot of things going on recently, and I've been stuck, so the updates have been a bit unstable. I'm really sorry. I will try my best to adjust my status. I'm really sorry.

　-

　After destroying the stronghold with one blow, Lin Xuan ignored Alice and Scar and rushed in one direction.

　Originally, Lin Xuan did not want to use his full strength in this mission. He just wanted to cooperate with Alice and complete the mission easily. But just now, he saw a pure white figure. It was that figure that made Lin Xuan suddenly change his plan. He went all out and destroyed the stronghold in one blow.

　When Lin Xuan accidentally saw the white figure, he was shocked. He didn't know how that person appeared here, but after being shocked, Lin Xuan knew what he should do - he wanted to challenge that person.

　That's right, it's a challenge, not a battle, not a fight, but a challenge. A challenge to the World's Strongest Swordsman.

　-

　Looking at the pure white figure less than ten meters away from him, Lin Xuan stopped, and the pure white figure also stopped when it saw Lin Xuan, staring at Lin Xuan with a calm expression.

　Standing opposite Lin Xuan was a woman, a woman radiating pure white light. Her delicate face and the aura she exuded made her resemble a Valkyrie from European mythology.

　Who is this Valkyrie-like woman who allowed Lin Xuan to change his plan temporarily?

　Because of his overwhelming strength, the Alliance had to give up the pursuit, and he was called the "most evil criminal in fashion." The swordsman who stood at the pinnacle of kendo, holding two swords, was called the "world's strongest swordsman" - [Winged] Edwards

　Looking at Edwards who was standing in front of him and staring at him, Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly, and a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.

　Just now, as he was approaching Edelweiss, when he reached a certain distance, Lin Xuan felt that he had stepped into a realm beyond the ordinary. When he stepped into that realm, Lin Xuan came to a conclusion - he could not win.

　Years of hard training in the God Slayer world had led to explosive improvements in Lin Xuan's martial arts. Although he hadn't specifically practiced swordsmanship during that period, he had received true instruction from Luo Hao. Furthermore, after four years of training, Lin Xuan was still confident in his swordsmanship. However, when he entered Edwards' realm, he knew that his swordsmanship was no match for him.

　It was precisely because he had reached a certain level in swordsmanship that Lin Xuan could clearly feel how much pressure Edwards' sword exerted on his own sword...

　"——[Biyi] Edwards, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lin Xuan said solemnly, squinting his eyes at Edwards. At the same time, with a soft groan, he drew [Slash] from its sheath.

　"You are a strange person. Since you know my identity, why did you stop me? Why did you draw your sword against me? With your level, you should be clear about the gap between you and me without fighting. Otherwise, you wouldn't show such an expression." Edwards asked, a hint of doubt appearing on his calm face.

　When Lin Xuan heard what Edwards said, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, but then he became serious. "Yes, I know very well that my knife cannot beat your sword at the moment. The gap is quite big."

　Lin Xuan's unexpected encounter with Edelweiss today was quite unexpected. Originally, Lin Xuan had planned to hone his swordsmanship for a while longer, reaching a higher level before seeking out Biyi and confronting her. However, the moment he saw Edelweiss, Lin Xuan not only changed his original mission plan, but also altered a portion of his own future plans.

　"But I still want to give it a try to see how big the gap between you and me is." Lin Xuan smiled with a hint of determination in his eyes. Even though he knew he could not win, even though he knew that he might lose his life in the next battle if he was not careful, he still kept smiling and did not change.

　Of course, this wasn't to say that Lin Xuan was heartless and didn't care about his own life or death. Quite the contrary, even though he was prepared to die on the battlefield, he still cared deeply about his own life and death. And now, facing the danger of possible death, he could face it with a smile because he believed in himself, believed that he could survive Edwards's sword with his own blade. This wasn't a kind of confidence, but a feeling.

　"As the [World's Strongest Swordsman], you wouldn't doubt the fighting spirit of an enemy who has already drawn his sword like you." Putting away the scabbard in his hand, Lin Xuan raised the [Slash] in his hand, which was as black as the night, and pointed it at the [World's Strongest Swordsman] - Edwards.

　Even though they were nearly ten meters apart, Edwards, known as the "World's Strongest Swordsman", could clearly see the fighting spirit and determination burning in Lin Xuan's blue eyes.

　"Indeed, my question is unnecessary," Edwards said, summoning his own inherent spiritual suit. "[Winged] Edwards, I accept your challenge."

　As Edwards finished speaking, Lin Xuan felt time stand still. No, it wasn't time that stood still, but rather his reaction was too slow. That's right, Lin Xuan was too slow to react. This situation, which shouldn't have happened, actually happened. As he felt the passage of time, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart, causing him to tremble. At the same time, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

　"If you don't dodge, you'll die! You'll definitely die!"

　Subconsciously, following his instinct, Lin Xuan took a step back.

　At this moment, Lin Xuan felt the air flow in front of his nose being cut apart. It felt like something extremely sharp was passing by and cutting across the tip of his nose.

　At this time, Lin Xuan felt a warm and moist feeling on the tip of his nose. He knew that it was the blood that flowed out of his nose when it slipped open.

　In the past, Lin Xuan had heard of Edwards's reputation, but had never seen her fight, so he didn't know what Edwards's sword was like. But at this time, Lin Xuan knew clearly what Edwards's sword was like, and also knew how far apart his own knife was from Edwards's sword.

　'So strong—' Lin Xuan thought to himself as he retreated. At this moment, he could clearly feel his body and soul trembling. It wasn't because of fear, but because—excitement!!!

Chapter 1: Battle with [Biyi]

　"So strong—" As he retreated, Lin Xuan could clearly feel his body and soul trembling slightly, but that was not because of fear, but—excitement!!!

　Lin Xuan's heart sank as he smelled the slight smell of burning in the air. He knew that it was caused by Edwards swinging his double-edged swords at an extraordinary speed as they passed through the air.

　"I can't see it! I can't see her slash!" At this moment, Lin Xuan knew that if his swordsmanship didn't improve to the point where he could see Edelweiss's slash clearly, he would definitely die under Edelweiss's sword.

　Suddenly, after Lin Xuan took a step back, that indescribable sense of crisis surged in his heart again. It felt like one foot had stepped into death.

　In a hurry, Lin Xuan chose to trust his beast-like intuition and swung the [Destroy] in his hand according to his feeling.

　"Chong-"

　The knife and the sword collided with each other, and at the same time, a crisp collision sound was heard.

　Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he just blocked the attack, but in the blink of an eye, he found something wrong.

　Edelweiss uses two swords!!!

　At this moment, Lin Xuan felt that the shadow of death was enveloping him, making him feel as if he was in the arms of death, and his whole body was cold.

　The next moment, a scarlet blood drop appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes. He knew it was his own. Then, he felt a pain in his right arm.

　Just now, when Edwards's other sword was about to strike Lin Xuan's neck, Lin Xuan tried his best to move his body away. Although his neck avoided Edwards' fatal blow, his left hand was still injured.

　Through the wound on Lin Xuan's arm, one could even vaguely see the white bone. If Edwards's sword had penetrated a little deeper, the bones of Lin Xuan's left arm would have been cut by her.

　"Tsk--" At this time, Lin Xuan also knew that he should not be so careless and only use his swordsmanship to fight Edwards. This is unrealistic, at least not now.

　As Lin Xuan swung his sword, a dark blade of destructive energy flew towards Edwards. Unfortunately, Edwards was too fast and dodged the blade, aiming at Lin Xuan.

　At this time, Lin Xuan no longer thought about anything else. He eliminated all unnecessary information. All his attention was now focused on Edwards. Only in this way could he barely see her figure clearly. But even so, for Edwards's slash, Lin Xuan could only barely see the white light ignited by the sword body that passed through the air at an extraordinary speed.

　"【Swift Blade】——" As Lin Xuan shouted, the 【Destruction】 in Lin Xuan's hand suddenly accelerated, turning into a dark afterimage, and swung towards the two swords swung by Edwards.

　One knife, two knives, three knives, four knives——

　At this moment, Lin Xuan's slashing speed reached its limit, even leaving a trail of afterimages in the air, making it impossible to capture his presence. As a swordsman, being able to slash at such speed was already a remarkable achievement, but in front of Edwards, it still seemed so pale and powerless.

　A total of twelve consecutive slashes, in this one breath, the knives and swords in the hands of Lin Xuan and Edwards collided with each other twelve times.

　During these twelve consecutive slashes, Lin Xuan was completely unable to detect Edelweiss's strikes. He could only barely deduce the trajectory of her strikes through Edelweiss's body movements and her gaze, and barely blocked the twelve consecutive slashes. But even so, Lin Xuan still had many small scars on his body, all of which were caused by Edelweiss.

　Moreover, those tiny scars were slightly scorched, which was caused by the heat generated by the blade of Edward's sword brushing against the air.
