The shuttle in the second dimension

　Using the power of [Double Horned Deep Crimson], every punch and palm strike by Lin Xuan could make the air tremble. And the wind from every palm strike by Luo Hao further disturbed the surrounding air, causing the airflow around Lin Xuan and Luo Hao to become extremely turbulent.

　As time went on, Lin Xuan gained a deeper understanding of the use of some techniques. The situation that was originally completely suppressed by Luo Hao gradually improved, but just when Lin Xuan was about to turn the situation around.

　Suddenly, another surge of mana erupted from Luo Hao's body, and her strength increased to a new level. At the same time, the rhythm of her attacks also increased sharply, catching Lin Xuan, who had originally adapted to the rhythm, off guard. For a moment, his movements showed flaws. At this moment, the two Vajra Warriors who had been quietly waiting behind Luo Hao suddenly moved.

　Four huge arms drew in elusive trajectories and attacked Lin Xuan.

Chapter 43

　What's it like facing over ten thousand enemies with only your sword to rely on? Lin Xuan can tell you, that feeling is truly awful! Over ten thousand people, even if they just stood still and let you hack them, you wouldn't know when you'd be done, let alone over ten thousand people who would resist and attack. - Magazine Bug -

　Although it is impossible for more than 10,000 people to rush to his side and attack him at the same time, every time several people come forward to besiege him, a group of people will die. If this continues, even Lin Xuan can't bear it. What's more, there is a sniper in the distance who is eyeing Lin Xuan and is ready to shoot him.

　What made Lin Xuan most uncomfortable was that those snipers were all armed with anti-material sniper rifles like the Barrett. Even Lin Xuan's current body wouldn't be able to withstand a single hit. In fact, those snipers, in order to target Lin Xuan, didn't even care about their own lives. It could be said that they would use any tricks to hit Lin Xuan.

　At the beginning, Lin Xuan could still maintain a clear consciousness, but as he continued to kill those people and kill, Lin Xuan felt that his consciousness began to become strange. He felt that his battle ideas were becoming clearer and clearer, and at the same time he felt more and more excited, but... he was not excited because of the battle, but because of the killing.

　By the time Lin Xuan realized his consciousness was failing, it was already too late. The excitement of the killing had completely engulfed his mind.

　When he came to his senses, he found that all he saw was scarlet, scarlet, and scarlet. The only color around him was scarlet. And beneath the scarlet was nothing but a mountain of corpses.

　If someone were to observe this horrific scene for themselves, they would discover that none of the bodies were intact. Each one was utterly mangled, with either limbs severed, waist-decapitated, or even the head missing. Furthermore, large amounts of blood spurted from the corpses, staining the ground crimson.

　tick-tock-

　Drops of scarlet blood slid down from the ends of Lin Xuan's hair and fell onto the blood-soaked ground, splashing a strange blood flower.

　"——" Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, Lin Xuan's expression did not fluctuate at all, and there was only endless coldness and indifference.

　"Lin Xuan——!!!!" At this moment, a familiar cry came from behind Lin Xuan.

　The voice that Lin Xuan was familiar with was that of Chiyuki Asada. In fact, after discovering the error in the mission intelligence, Lin Xuan informed Chiyuki Asada, and upon hearing the news, Chiyuki Asada immediately organized a group of people to go to the stronghold to rescue Lin Xuan.

　But after entering the base, Chiyuki Asada was stunned, and the people who came with him were also stunned.

　The corpses piled up like mountains, dyeing the surroundings scarlet, and the smell of blood was so thick that it seemed to turn into substance. Looking at the scene that was like hell and a slaughterhouse, Chiyuki Asada and the others didn't know what to say. Some of them even couldn't stand it and started vomiting. It wasn't that they had poor psychological endurance. In fact, anyone who could survive on the battlefield for so long would have a certain level of psychological endurance. But the scene before them was indeed too horrifying.

　After Chiyuki Asada called out, Lin Xuan turned around. At this time, Chiyuki Asada saw Lin Xuan's appearance at this moment, and Chiyuki Asada suddenly felt a chill bursting out from her heart.

　Lin Xuan looked like an old man fished out of a bloodbath, his entire body covered in blood, but how much of that blood was his own was unknown. But that didn't matter. What chilled Asada Chixue's heart was Lin Xuan's eyes. His azure eyes were devoid of emotion, only endless coldness and indifference. The way he looked at them was as if he wasn't looking at humans, but at a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

　If Lin Xuan hadn't made any move at that moment, Chaotian Qianxue would have thought that Lin Xuan considered them enemies and wanted to kill them as well. But the next moment, the coldness and indifference in Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly melted away like ice in boiling water, and in a moment, it disappeared completely.

　Looking at Chiyuki Asada standing in front of him, Lin Xuan said with a forced smile. "Sister Chiyuki, you're here—"

　As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell forward.

　"Lin Xuan!!"

　Before losing consciousness, Lin Xuan felt as if he was thrown into a soft and comfortable embrace.

　-

　After that incident, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to that strange state, but not long after, when Lin Xuan was carrying out a massacre mission, that state appeared again. Originally, it was nothing, but when he had eliminated all the targets of the mission, he actually attacked his own people who were carrying out the mission with him. That time, if Lin Xuan hadn't come to his senses in time, he would have almost killed Chiyuki Asada who came to stop him.

　After that incident, Lin Xuan realized the horror of his strange state. It was easy to enter that state after he had killed a certain number of people. Once he entered this state, if no one around him killed him, he would turn his killing arsenal against his own people. After several studies, Lin Xuan also discovered the reason for the appearance of that state - [The Evil of This World].

　That's right, it was the [Evil of This World]. When he absorbed the [Evil of This World], a part of it was integrated into his soul. Because it didn't cause any abnormality to him, Lin Xuan didn't notice it. But that time, Lin Xuan's continuous killing aroused the [Evil of This World] lurking in his soul, and finally created a state that made him somewhat out of control.

　Originally, Lin Xuan could have used the [Evil of This World] within his body to erase that state, but due to system issues, [Evil of This World] couldn't be used, and the [Evil of This World] simulated through [The Origin of All Things] couldn't solve the problem. Therefore, Lin Xuan fell into an awkward situation.

　However, later, when Lin Xuan left the battlefield on the last two days of each month to dissipate the accumulated hostility in his body, he found that the less hostility accumulated in his body, the lower the probability of him entering that state. Although it could not be eradicated, he could always find a way to suppress that state.

　The scene returns to Lin Xuan.

　Looking at the ruined streets and the broken corpses on the streets, Lin Xuan shook his head and left.

Chapter 44: Game Over

　Sorry, I was delayed yesterday due to some things, so the update is late.

　-

　When the strange light disappeared, Lin Xuan's figure was exposed to the sunlight again. The fusion of the two Lin Xuans did not bring any substantial improvement to Lin Xuan. At most, it reduced the burden of the "Master of Time" on him, allowing him to use this power more easily.

　ka ka ka-

　After stretching his muscles a bit, a series of popping sounds like beans rang out from Lin Xuan's body. After the exercise, Lin Xuan's originally relaxed muscles suddenly tensed up, and at the same time, a dark red curse power like flames slowly rose from his body.

　"Oh~~~~ This really surprised me. I thought you would let another one to attack me together with you, but I didn't expect you to just make him disappear." Touching his chin covered with monkey hair, the Monkey King grinned and laughed.

　"I don't want to do that. What's the point of doing that?" Lin Xuan said with a disdainful smile, "Compared to the results, I prefer the process that makes me feel happy."

　As Lin Xuan spoke, a huge amount of cursed power was suddenly released from his body, stirring up the surrounding air, and the violent airflow continued to rage in all directions.

　The Monkey King was not to be outdone, and urged the surging curse power in his body to surge out, colliding with the curse power released by Lin Xuan. The roar produced by the collision was like the wail of the atmosphere, as if it could not withstand the two terrifying curse powers.

　The next moment, Lin Xuan and the Monkey King, one man and one god, collided violently. The Ruyi Jingu Cudgel, wrapped in dense mana, and the fist, wrapped in the power of [Double Horns Deep Crimson], suddenly collided.

　boom--

　At the moment of collision, a terrifying shock wave was generated from the place where the two people collided and spread out in all directions.

　However, this was only the beginning. Facing the Monkey King's unpredictable cudgel technique, Lin Xuan's hands constantly switched between palms, fists, and claws, employing the techniques that emerged in his mind to resist the Monkey King's terrifying cudgel attacks.

　Although it looked like the Monkey King had the upper hand, was that really the case? A sharp-eyed person would have noticed that the Monkey King's hands, gripping the Ruyi Jingu Bang, began to tremble slightly. This shouldn't have happened to him. But that was the reality.

　Each of Lin Xuan's attacks contained the power of [Deep Crimson of the Twin Horns]. Withstanding it once or twice was fine, but if it continued for too long, even the Iron-Bodied Dog Saint would find it difficult to endure. His slightly trembling hands at this moment only confirmed this.

　As a godslayer, Lin Xuan possesses extraordinary insight. Therefore, how could the trembling hands of the Monkey King escape Lin Xuan's keen insight, not to mention that it was caused by him.

　But in reality, compared to the Monkey King, Lin Xuan's hands weren't much better. Although the Ruyi Jingu Bang in the Monkey King's hand was merely a product of his power, its power was no less than the real thing. Therefore, when his hands repeatedly collided with the Ruyi Jingu Bang, even though Lin Xuan used the power of [Dual Horns of Deep Crimson] to deflect it each time, his hands still sustained some damage. After all, the Ruyi Jingu Bang wielded by the Monkey King wasn't something that could be easily dealt with.

　bang bang bang-

　Although both of their hands suffered a certain degree of damage, they seemed not to feel it. Not only did they not slow down the frequency of their attacks, but they continued to speed up the frequency of their attacks. Suddenly, shadows of sticks, fists, palms and claws filled the space between them.

　the other side

　Watching the battle between Lin Xuan and the Monkey King, the two gods Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing had a conversation.

　"I didn't expect that the godslayer would be so capable that he could be on equal footing with my senior brother. Moreover, my senior brother has borrowed considerable power from the heavens, the earth and the stars. Although what my senior brother showed was not his strongest state, it was also very terrifying." Looking at the two sides constantly colliding in front of him, a solemn expression emerged on Sha Wujing's ferocious face.

　"If I had encountered this God Slayer, I'd probably have been sent back to the mythical world." Putting away his sneaky demeanor, a solemn expression appeared on Zhu Bajie's face. "It's really not easy to get Brother to invite us here."

　-

　boom--

　He swung his fist and smashed it hard against the Ruyi Jingu Bang, knocking it away. Then, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. Then, he gently uttered a word.

　"broken--"

　ka ka ka-

　Suddenly, cracks appeared on the surface of the Ruyi Jingu Bang in the Monkey King's hand. Then, deep red light bloomed from the cracks. The next moment, the Ruyi Jingu Bang began to vibrate violently.

　boom--

　With a resounding explosion, the Ruyi Jingu Bang in the Monkey King's hands shattered completely. Its fragments shot out in all directions. Because he was so close to the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Monkey King had no time to dodge and was directly struck by several of the blasting fragments. Fortunately, his body was extremely abnormal; otherwise, this blow would have been enough to inflict him. Of course, his hands were still injured.

　Looking down at his injured hands, the Monkey King burst into laughter, "Hahahaha——"

　After laughing for a while, the Monkey King continued, "Although that was just a magical tool condensed by me using my power, and it is still a little inferior to the Ruyi Jingu Bang that I used to use, it also has eight points of its power. But I didn't expect that you would break it directly. It really surprised me. Sure enough, you are very interesting~~~~~" The Monkey King grinned with his monkey mouth.

　The next moment, a surge of violent curse power surged from the Monkey King's body. His golden eyes glowed with a violent red light, and his muscles bulged slightly, making his body grow slightly larger. At the same time, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the palm of his right hand. The golden light gradually extended from its original spherical shape to both sides, finally forming a long rod.

　As the Monkey King's right hand grabbed the golden light, the golden light began to dissipate. At the same time, a golden long stick was revealed. It was the Ruyi Jingu Bang that had just been broken by Lin Xuan not long ago.

　Gently turning the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand, looking at Lin Xuan's frown, the Monkey King smiled and said, "Originally, I should not be able to condense a second Ruyi Jingu Bang, but if I can use the power of heaven and earth and the stars, then it will be a different story."

　"Now, I will not give you another chance to break my Ruyi Jingu Bang, God Slayer."

Chapter 45 Conversation

　After talking with Chiyuki Asada, Lin Xuan left and returned to his dorm. After taking a comfortable shower, he collapsed onto his bed, falling asleep without even eating. After a busy month, Lin Xuan felt a bit exhausted. Although the tasks weren't physically demanding, he was still a human being, not a machine, and needed to relax.

　When he woke up, it was already the next day. Looking at the time displayed on the wall clock, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and muttered, "I actually slept for nearly half a day. This is really rare. It seems that this month has made me exhausted."

　"Cuckoo-"

　As soon as he got up from the bed, Lin Xuan heard a protest coming from his stomach.

　"Uh - I'm so hungry."

　Touching his belly, Lin Xuan curled his lips and said helplessly.

　Although Lin Xuan has killed the God of Disobedience, defeated the ancient heroic spirits, and defeated the immortal True Ancestor, this still cannot change the fact that he is still a human being, nor can it change the fact that he will be hungry if he does not eat.

　"Let's go find something to eat first. I'm starving to death. If I had known, I would have eaten something before going to bed yesterday~~~~~" While complaining, Lin Xuan climbed up from the bed.

　——The dividing line between washing and dressing——

　Holding a bottle of milk in one hand and a piece of bread in the other, Lin Xuan ate while walking out of the base. Along the way, he met many people, but after seeing Lin Xuan, these people avoided him from a distance, making him look like a man-eating beast and no one dared to approach him.

　Lin Xuan simply curled his lips in response to these people's reactions and said nothing. The reason why those people were so afraid of Lin Xuan was not because he was unreasonable and bullied them, but because they had all heard of his vicious reputation.

　Over the past four years, Lin Xuan had killed countless people. He'd even killed so many that even his own people feared him. If not a hundred thousand, then fifty or sixty thousand, perhaps even more, had died at his hands. Honestly, Lin Xuan hadn't imagined he'd kill so many in the past four years. And that was after the incident two years ago, when he'd begun to minimize his killing.

　However, despite killing so many people, Lin Xuan still had principles. He would not kill innocent civilians unless the mission required it. In fact, this was what he did. In the past four years, he had killed almost all the armed personnel of the enemy. He would not do such a thing as massacring civilians.

　Butcher

　This was the nickname given to Lin Xuan by his enemies on the battlefield. In fact, Lin Xuan was worthy of this nickname. After all, his current reputation was accumulated through the corpses of his enemies. Moreover, since two years ago, he would always unconsciously enter "that state" in the killing, and once he entered "that state", he would become extremely cruel and bloodthirsty.

　Furthermore, in that state, none of the bodies he killed remained intact; they were all chopped into pieces. If it were just one or two people, it would be fine, but once he entered that state, how could Lin Xuan kill only one or two people? He could kill dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. The scenes were extremely bloody and horrifying, like a slaughterhouse, hence his nickname, "The Butcher."

　The sin of killing would also accumulate resentment in Lin Xuan's body, and the resentment accumulated in his body would affect his mental state. Therefore, on the last two days of every month, Lin Xuan would go back to dissipate the resentment accumulated in his body. Especially after the incident two years ago, Lin Xuan became even more keen on dissipating his resentment.

　And these two days were specifically used for Lin Xuan to vent his anger.

　In reality, Lin Xuan's method of dissipating his anger was nothing else but the method he had originally thought of at Ruoye's house. He used the child's innocence to soothe his soul, thus dissipating the accumulated anger within him.

　And now, Lin Xuan was standing in front of a certain orphanage. This orphanage was over a hundred kilometers away from the battlefield where Lin Xuan was. Although it was not far from the battlefield, it had not been baptized by the flames of war and seemed peaceful.

　For four years, he had come here almost every last two days of the month. He had also donated some money to the orphanage, and his kindness had impressed the director of the orphanage. He was always welcoming whenever he came. Furthermore, four years ago, he was only ten years old, which made the director even more welcoming of Lin Xuan to the orphanage...

　Moreover, after four years, Lin Xuan also got along well with the children in this orphanage. At least every time he came, the children were very welcoming to him.
