The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Cough cough cough--" Along with the violent coughing, scarlet blood overflowed from Kurogane Ikki's mouth.

　“Ha-ha-ha-ha-” Panting heavily, Ikki Kurogane managed to stand up.

　Looking at the man with the monkey mask, Ikki Kurogane realized how lucky he was to have survived his hands several times. If that man had used his current strength, he would have died under his iron rod long ago.

　"It seems that something unexpected happened to your body, Mr. Kurogane." His voice was still full of laughter. After seeing that Kurogane Ikki did not dodge the stick, Lin Xuan knew that Kurogane Ikki had shown his previous abnormality again, but Lin Xuan did not have any intention of letting him go. If Kurogane Ikki still could not comprehend what he got from [Bi Yi] in the battle, then there was no need for him to continue to participate in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. He would beat him today so that he could not participate in tomorrow's competition.

　"It seems that you, Mr. Kurotsuchi, won't be able to participate in the competition tomorrow~~~" As the laughter ended, a storm-like attack followed.

　Bang——click——

　There was still the sound of iron rods hitting the body and breaking bones. Facing Lin Xuan's attack that was like a storm, even Kurogane Ikki's body, which had been strengthened by [One Sword Shura], found it difficult to dodge. He would still be hit by something or another. After only a dozen seconds, Kurogane Ikki's clothes were already stained with blood.

　Faced with such a desperate situation, Ikki Kurogane not only did not give up, but was also thinking about other things.

　'Think about what you got from her.'

　Lin Xuan's words kept repeating in his mind, and Kurogane Ikki was wondering what exactly Lin Xuan wanted to express.

　Suddenly, a scene flashed through Kurogane Ikki's mind. It was the scene when he was fighting with Biyi. At that time, he tried to steal Biyi's swordsmanship and use it.

　"I understand. What I got from her was—the swordsmanship of the world's greatest swordsman!!"

　After thinking it through, Kurogane Ikki suddenly felt a change in his body. He felt his body was light, like a feather. Like a gust of wind, he quickly dodged the falling iron rod and came in front of the man wearing the monkey mask, swinging the [Yin Iron] in his hand.

　Just as the [Yin Iron] was about to fall on the (hx) man wearing a monkey mask, a golden iron rod blocked the [Yin Iron]'s path.

　"It seems that you have realized something extraordinary, Kurogane-kun." It was still the same joking tone, but Kurogane Ikki heard satisfaction in the joking. He didn't know if it was because he had heard it wrong.

　In fact, Kurogane Ikki was not wrong. After he comprehended the [Biyi] swordsmanship, Lin Xuan was indeed very satisfied, because he found that Kurogane Ikki was one step closer to his own limit, and because of his interference, Kurogane Ikki was able to exert the power of [Biyi] swordsmanship better than in the original. This also meant that at this moment, he was closer to his limit than his original self at the same period.

　But this is not enough. What Lin Xuan needs is to push him to the limit with his own hands and let him break the shackles that bind his fate, and witness him reach the realm of demons with his own eyes.

　"It seems I have to be more serious, Mr. Kurogane~~~~" Laughing, Lin Xuan swung the iron rod in his hand at an even faster speed, sweeping towards Kurogane Ikki.

　The golden shadow of the rod surrounded Kurogane Ikki, making it impossible for him to dodge. He could only take it head-on or use the knife in his hand to relieve the force of the iron rod.

　In the constant clashes, Kurogane Ikki could clearly see that his mastery of the Biyi swordsmanship had become more proficient and his understanding of it had deepened. This should have been a cause for great joy, but Kurogane Ikki felt no joy at all. Because—the time for One Sword Shura was running out. Once One Sword Shura ended, he would be exhausted and there was no way he could survive the terrifying shadow of the baton.

　But the shadow of the stick that was getting faster and faster made Ikki Kurogane realize that the opponent would not give him any chance to retreat. Once he had that intention, the opponent would definitely seize the opportunity to hit him hard. In that case, even if he did not die, he would not be able to leave.

　But there is always a way out. When there were only one or two seconds left for [One Sword Shura], a voice that was familiar to Kurogane Ikki suddenly sounded.

　"Bite everything to pieces——【Tiger Bite】"

　In an instant, a huge tiger head made of golden magic light appeared behind Lin Xuan, and its huge jaws opened and bit towards Lin Xuan fiercely.

　Without looking back, Lin Xuan knew who was coming. It happened that Lin Xuan had already achieved his goal this time, so he did not stay any longer. While the huge jaws were about to bite, he dispersed the iron rod in his hand and left the place directly. However, before leaving, Lin Xuan said to Kurogane Ikki with a smile.

　"Mr. Kurogane~~~See you next time~~~" After saying that, Lin Xuan left, leaving only the embarrassed Kurogane Ikki and the solemn-looking Moroboshi Yudai in this open space.

Chapter 159

　"I'm leaving first—" After saying that, Lin Xuan stepped into the space crack, and it was unknown where he was going.

　Looking at Lin Xuan who was still standing there, Jada raised the corner of his mouth, outlining a curious arc. "The aura emanating from that person just now was exactly the same as yours? If I didn't know in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell which one was real and which one was fake."

　"No, Jada, you are wrong." Shaking his head, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth.

　"Wrong? What's wrong?" Blinking, Jada looked at Lin Xuan with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't know where he went wrong.

　"You are wrong. There is no fake one between me and the other 'me'. We are both the real Lin Xuan." With a light push of his left foot, Lin Xuan jumped down from [Narakville].

　"Is it all the real Lin Xuan!?" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, An Bainai was stunned for a moment, and then, her mind recalled the feeling that Lin Xuan's chanting of the Word Spirit gave her before, that feeling as if the god who controlled time was chanting the Word Spirit, especially as Lin Xuan continued to chant the Word Spirit, fragments of time emerged from his body and surrounded him.

　"Could it be!!" Looking at Lin Xuan in horror, the dark consciousness in An Bainai's body aroused a sense of foreboding, and it became stronger and stronger.

　Seeing An Bainai's horrified look, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Could the old man in this girl's body have guessed something?"

　"That me is my future self." Lin Xuan said frankly without intending to hide anything.

　"Sure enough!!" An Bainai wasn't as surprised as he'd thought. Perhaps he'd been frightened by his own guess before, so now that he knew the answer, he wasn't that surprised.

　"Hmph, so what if it's you in the future? Even if it's the True Ancestor, you're just one person. Do you want to stop all the reinforcements by yourself? Two fists can't beat four hands, let alone so many reinforcements. The most important thing is, that future you probably can't exist forever. I believe that the time he can stay in this time period is always limited." Staring at Lin Xuan closely, An Bainai snorted coldly.

　Snap (hx) Snap——

　Clapping his hands, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Your analysis is quite good. Indeed, my future self can't stay in this time period for very long, but I think I can still stay for a whole day. However—" Lin Xuan scoffed, glancing at the corner of his mouth. "—As you said, two fists are no match for four hands. My future self alone can't stop all those reinforcements!?"

　^

　"Can I take it that you are looking down on me? The Three Saints of the [Lion King Agency]--" The darkness filled with malice began to crawl all over the whites of Lin Xuan's eyes. The dark red of violence and murderousness quickly permeated the original blue. The dark and dark red magic power continued to overflow from Lin Xuan's body, and the magic power emitting a terrifying aura made the air around Lin Xuan vibrate.

　The gentle smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze had faded away, and was replaced by a cold smile that made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

　The harmless boy-next-door aura he originally had on him had completely vanished. The aura that enveloped him now made him look like a combination of all the malice in the world and the killing (hx) born from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

　The upturned corners of his mouth outlined an arc of indifference, and Lin Xuan walked towards An Bainai step by step. As he walked, the black and dark red magic power emerging from his body suddenly condensed into shape, wrapping him in it.

　When the pitch-black and dark red magic power overflowed from Lin Xuan's body, An Bainai felt a sudden increase in the ominous feeling in his heart. The [Lion King Agency] had studied the Fourth True Ancestor before, and it could be said that it had an understanding of the Fourth True Ancestor's twelve beasts that were like natural disasters. Whether it was the sudden change in the sky before, which allowed his future self to come and help him, or the current pitch-black and dark red magic power that exuded a terrifying aura, it did not belong to any of the Fourth True Ancestor's twelve beasts.

　“——Those were powers he possessed before becoming the Fourth True Ancestor. He already possessed strength comparable to that of a True Ancestor!!”

　As soon as this thought came to his mind, An Bainai felt a tremor in his heart. What on earth were they thinking? Controlling someone with the strength of a True Ancestor? Someone they knew nothing about?

　"Damn it, I shouldn't have agreed to those guys' plan to control the Fourth True Ancestor. I told you they were playing with fire!!! And they still insisted on doing it... I should have taken back Number Twelve, 'Night Uncle of Flame', at the 'Flame Banquet'." An Bainai whispered, gritting his teeth.

　"Things are getting serious now. Not only are they playing us around, they are even trying to swallow us up and strengthen themselves." Looking at Lin Xuan who was wrapped in that huge magical power, An Bainai knew that they might not be able to stop him today. She knew her own capabilities very well.

　It is true that she is very strong, but this strength is relative. She is no match for the True Ancestor. What's more, this guy not only possesses the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, but even possesses another power that is comparable to that of the True Ancestor.

　"It's really terrible~~~~" After returning to the army and continuing to serve as the command tower, An Bainai shook his head and sighed.

　"It's really terrible~~~~" At this time, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind An Bainai.

　However, An Bainai seemed to have known that the person behind him would come, and he was not surprised at all. "You are here, Yuantang Yuan."

　"With all that noise, how could I not come?" A tall figure stood beside An Bainai. It was a woman, her straight, slender legs gleaming like jade beneath her dress, a stunning sheen. Her delicate face was a masterpiece of God's perfection, a sight to behold. Her pointed ears playfully peeked out from her beard, and her eyes, as deep as the starry sky, captivated and captivated one at a glance.

　"At that time, after talking with him, I roughly guessed that he might not be satisfied with a demon special zone, but I didn't expect that he would act so quickly, and he would not hesitate to spend a lot of magic power to tear the space and bring a large amount of [Narakville] to this country. The most important thing is-" A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and Yuantang Yuan sighed.

　"——[The Realm of Creation] has actually been recognized by the three Night Empires of [War King Domain], [Extinction Dynasty], and [Chaos Realm]..."

Chapter 160

　"The most important thing is—the [Domain of Creation] has actually been recognized by the three Night Empires of [War King Domain], [Extinction Dynasty], and [Chaos Realm]. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Sanctuary Treaty is signed. However, I'm afraid that by then, the country of R will no longer be on the world map~~~~" Looking at Lin Xuan, who was wrapped in two terrifying black and dark red magic powers not far away, a gloomy look appeared on Yuan Tangyuan's delicate face. She subconsciously clenched her hands, and her knuckles began to whiten. It can be seen how much pressure Lin Xuan was putting on her at this moment. ∞Zhizhisin∞

　After hearing Yuantang Yuan's words, An Bainai frowned, and a hint of sadness appeared on her fair face. She gently held her forehead and sighed.

　"It's understandable that the Chaos Realm would acknowledge it. After all, given the ambiguous relationship between the Third and Fourth True Ancestors, it's no big deal for them to acknowledge the Creation Realm. But I didn't expect the War King Domain and the Extinction Dynasty to actually acknowledge the Creation Realm. What are the First and Second True Ancestors thinking?"

　"Hey, hey, hey!! What is that guy doing? What on earth is he trying to do by releasing such a huge amount of magic power!!!? Damn, that magic power is materializing!!!" Suddenly, as if sensing something, Yuantang Yuan interrupted An Bainai's words, and her delicate face was filled with astonishment.

　Following Yuan Tangyuan's gaze, An Bainai also looked over. She had been so caught up in her conversation with Yuan Tangyuan that she hadn't paid much attention to Lin Xuan's movements. But when she shifted her attention to Lin Xuan, her heart sank. Even from the central command tower, she could sense the fear in the hearts of the soldiers and magicians encircled by the web she had woven with her spiritual power—fear.

　Yes, it's fear.

　At this time, they could no longer see Lin Xuan's figure. All they could see was a vaguely shaped magic aggregate that resembled the upper body of a human, constructed by pitch-black and dark red magic.

　And it was the aura emitted by those two magical powers that brought fear to the soldiers and magicians who accepted her knowledge.

　However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the vague magical aggregate.

　“——Condensation——”

　The voice was like an order. The moment the voice fell, the magic power burned like a burning flame.

　boom--

　"Oh no, An Bainai!! Quickly mobilize the troops to attack that magical aggregate. The Fourth True Ancestor is now trying to materialize that huge magical power. Stop him quickly before he finishes it!!!" As if sensing something, Yuantang Yuan hurriedly reminded An Bainai beside him.

　"Damn it!! What the hell is this guy doing!!!" Even without Yuan Tangyuan's reminder, An Bainai knew that she couldn't let Lin Xuan go on. When Lin Xuan said the word "Congeal", An Bainai's intuition told her that a crisis that threatened her life was happening.

　Just as An Bainai was mobilizing his troops to attack Lin Xuan and stop him from going forward, Lin Xuan's smiling voice suddenly rang out.

　"Don't you think it's too late to stop it now? An Bainai——"

　As soon as he finished speaking, the dark and crimson magic power that enveloped Lin Xuan suddenly condensed from within. Bones, meridians, flesh, skin, clothing, and armor condensed one after another from the inside out. After these steps were completed, Yuan Tangyuan and the others also saw Lin Xuan in the magic power.

　Gazing up at the giant before them, or rather, the giant-shaped magical power condensed and materialized, An Bainai and Yuantang Yuan were stunned. As the pinnacle of RB attack magicians, they could certainly sense unimaginable power from the "giant" before them, which only had the upper body.

　Chi You is a branch skill derived from Lin Xuan's exploration of the potential of the Unyielding Lord of Arms. The Chi You Lin Xuan is using now isn't the fully formed form he used in his last battle against Leviathan, but rather a semi-finished form with only the upper half condensed. However, while not a finished product, its power is comparable to that of the fully formed Chi You.

　At this moment, Lin Xuan, who was wrapped in [Chi You], seemed to sense something and raised his head.

　"That is!?"

　Looking at the distance and thinking about the falling flames like meteors here, Lin Xuan frowned slightly. Because the distance was too far, he could not see very clearly. As for why he could see those, it was because his intuition reminded him that an attack was coming.

　However, the flames continued to grow larger, and finally, Lin Xuan, with his extraordinary eyesight, saw clearly what those flames were.

　Missiles! Everything that's about to fall here is a missile! There must be at least a hundred of them.

　"It seems that you can't help it~~~ You actually launched missiles directly when the troops are still here. Aren't you ignoring these soldiers and magicians?" Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Xuan looked at the troops in front of him who were stationed again to stop him with pity.

　"How pitiful~~~ It seems that in the eyes of the country, you are just bait to lure me into the trap, or in other words, victims to hold me back and prevent me from leaving?" Lin Xuan did not suppress his voice at all, and even let everyone present hear his voice.

　When many people heard Lin Xuan's name, they looked up at the sky in the distance and the falling missiles. At this moment, they all felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave and felt cold all over.

　"Damn it!! Are those old guys stupid? They actually do such a thing at this time--" Looking at the missiles about to fall in the distance, An Bainai said in annoyance. However, she also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. She hurriedly began to mobilize the troops and it was not easy to defend the position. No matter what, she couldn't let the people in this unit die in the bombing of those missiles.

　"Oh~~~~ It seems that the opinions of the RB government and the [Lion King Agency] are not very consistent~~~~" Looking at An Bainai's face full of regret, Lin Xuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

　"That's really interesting—"

Chapter 161

　"Lin Xuan, the person who attacked Yihui is related to you, right?"

　Turning his head to look at Alice, Lin Xuan laughed (hx) and asked, "Why do you think so? As Ikki is Shushiku's brother, there seems to be no reason for me to target him, right?"

　"I don't know why I feel this way, and I don't have any evidence to support this hypothesis, but I just have this feeling (hx). Maybe it's my sixth sense~~~~ Women's sixth sense is still very accurate."

　"A woman's sixth sense~~~~ But as you said, it is still very accurate, which means it is not always accurate." Shaking his head, Lin Xuan chuckled.

　"I don't have any baton-swinging experts among my men." Lin Xuan waved his hand, said goodbye to Alice, and left.

　"Goodbye."

　Looking at Lin Xuan's receding figure, Alice murmured, "Is it really not you, Lin Xuan?"

　-
