"It's very simple, a novice swordsmith like me, the first time I hunt insects and beasts, I am usually accompanied by a senior swordsmith, and after you heard that I was a novice, you didn't even ask where my companion was, as if you already knew that I was the only one!"

Lin Ze looked at Wu Weilin and said lightly, "Ding Beiye sent you!"

Wu Weilin was obviously coming for him, and he also knew that he went out to hunt soul beasts alone, and after a little thought, he understood that Ding Beiye was behind his back, after all, in the entire Blackstone Settlement, he had only offended Ding Beiye alone.

That guy is really vindictive enough, and he even sent someone to follow him to the ruins of the city to kill him.

Wu Weilin's face became more and more gloomy: "Based on this alone, you think that I want to be unfavorable to you?"

"And your backpack, the weight is too light, according to your own words, you have been in the ruins of this city for four days, even if you are a novice swordsmith, the insect cores you have hunted during this time are enough to fill the backpack, unless you are here not to hunt insects and beasts, but to find people!"

"Of course, the most important thing is that the combat uniform on your body only has the logo of the settlement area, not the logo of the Knife Forger Guild or the Blackstone Chamber of Commerce, and the entire settlement is only like this for the special security team under the jurisdiction of the Autonomous Committee, and the knife forger of a special security team comes here, not to hunt insects and beasts but to find people, heh, how strange do you think!"

Wu Weilin gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Ze, he didn't expect this guy to be so shrewd and see through his reality at once.

In fact, he had been looking for Lin Ze for the past few days, and for this reason, he had searched all the steel soldier and insect settlements marked on the map, and finally found a large number of 'fresh' traces of battle in the nearby square.

Originally, according to his thoughts, a novice apprentice knife caster who had just graduated, no matter how strong he was, was limited, with his second-level strength of 29% of the soul knife progress, it was not easy to kill the other party?

However, the traces of the battle left near the square poured cold water on him, and among the insect corpses left at the scene were not only ordinary steel soldiers, but also elite steel soldiers, and there were quite a few of them.

That's a second-level insect beast!

If these are all done by Lin Ze, then his strength is probably not weaker than himself!

Although it was just a guess, Wu Weilin didn't want to take risks, so the first time he saw Lin Ze, he pretended to be a knife caster he met by chance, intending to get close to Lin Ze and take advantage of his unpreparedness to make a sneak attack.

Glancing at the bleeding wound in his abdomen, Wu Weilin was annoyed in his heart, and his eyes were full of killing intent when he stared at Lin Ze.

"Alright, it's time to send you on your way!" Lin Ze waved his blade, which was already covered with a layer of hazy airflow.

The reason why he explained so much to Wu Weilin was to gain time to condense the sword, and now that the preparation has been completed, he doesn't plan to talk nonsense with the other party anymore, and with a kick under his feet, the whole person has already stepped forward, and in the blink of an eye, he killed Wu Weilin.

The sword flashed, tearing through the void in an instant.

Wu Weilin's face was full of ferocity, and he brazenly swung his knife to meet him.

Boom!

The two blades of cold light flickered in the void collided, bursting out with dazzling sparks, Wu Weilin's complexion changed, only to feel that there was a burst of uncontrollable strength from the blade, and he involuntarily retreated four or five steps in a row, and looked up at Lin Ze in shock.

Why is this guy's strength so terrifying?

In a frightening moment, Lin Ze had already attacked again, and the sword light flew around, enveloping Wu Weilin's whole body.

Wu Weilin only felt that he was like a wooden boat drifting in a storm, with strong winds and waves in all directions, and he would be submerged if he was not careful.

Originally, he expected that Lin Ze's strength was not weak, but he didn't expect that the actual result would be even stronger than he imagined, this guy was so fast that he didn't look like a human.

Frightened, Wu Weilin had no choice but to sacrifice his hole cards.

In another exchange, Lin Ze suddenly felt a strange shockwave erupt from the place where the blades were struck, and hit him face to face.

Caught off guard, as if hit head-on by an iron mallet, Lin Ze snorted and took a few steps back.

"It's ...... Soul Knife characteristics?"

After standing firmly, he glanced at Wu Weilin in surprise, his expression slightly solemn.

Most first-level swordsmiths are still in the realm of absorbing steel-attribute soul energy, but second-level swordsmiths have usually begun to absorb the second type of soul energy, and with it, the white knife has begun to show corresponding characteristics.

At this time, the swordsmith has been able to use the strange power of the corresponding soul knife, although it is only a very small part of the power, but it is still a powerful advantage compared to the first-level swordsmith.

Forcing Lin Ze back with one blow, Wu Weilin breathed a sigh of relief, and a hideous and smug smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"This is the gap between the first-level swordsmith and the second-level swordsmith, boy, as long as you haven't condensed the soul knife characteristics, you are destined not to be my opponent!"

Lin Ze was stunned, and his face was still flat.

Seeing this, Wu Weilin sneered, waved his blade, and killed Lin Ze again.

The crisp and dense sound of knife strikes echoed over the empty ruins, and it was heard far away, if it weren't for the nearby steel soldiers and insects that had been cleaned up by Lin Ze, I am afraid that they would attract a lot of insects and beasts.

In the rapid and fierce sound of knives, there are occasionally strange explosions.

After more than ten battles, Lin Ze finally figured out the characteristics of Wu Weilin's soul knife, but wherever his blade hit, it would produce a shockwave like an explosion, although the power was far worse than the real explosion, but it was no less than a heavy hammer smashing head-on.

Moreover, this shock wave will only attack the opponent, and will not affect the caster himself at all, so every time the two sides fight, Lin Ze is equivalent to having to endure two consecutive blows, and the end is extremely tricky.

However, the battle situation instantly reversed after he mobilized his qi to wrap his upper body, and Wu Weilin was soon shocked to find that his explosion wave could not hurt his opponent.

What's going on?

After contemplating and observing, Wu Weilin noticed that Lin Ze's body surface seemed to be covered with a layer of invisible gas, and the surface of the entire upper body had a strange phenomenon of slight distortion.

However, although he noticed it, the doubts and shocks in Wu Weilin's heart did not decrease but increased, what is this?

This layer of invisible gas was very tough, and the blast wave hit it, and it only set off ripples like ripples, but it was never able to break through.

Anxious and angry, Wu Weilin's attack became more and more ferocious, and the white knife slashed at Lin Ze's chest.

However, in the face of his slash, Lin Ze did not dodge or dodge this time, and let the sharp blade hit his chest.

Burst!

There was a touch of thick leather from the blade, Wu Weilin was shocked, and immediately secretly said that it was not good, and his body leaned back and was about to quickly pull away from him, but the cold light before meeting him flashed, and his throat was cold, as if some warm liquid was splashing out, and his vision was instantly stained with a touch of scarlet blood.

Bang!

The white knife fell to the ground, Wu Weilin covered his throat tightly, but he was never able to stop the loss of blood, and at the same time, he also lost all his strength, and soon, he fell to the ground, staring at Lin Ze with wide eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief, unwillingness and fear.

After struggling for a long time, Wu Weilin swallowed his last breath and lost his breath.

Lin Ze squinted at Wu Weilin's corpse, and sighed slightly in his heart, the characteristics of the soul knife were really strange, if he hadn't mastered his qi, he would have been killed by Wu Weilin.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Ze turned around and picked up Wu Weilin's backpack and searched carefully, sure enough, except for a small amount of food, there were only a few dozen insect cores, and from the size of the eyes, they were just ordinary insect cores, which should be the insect beasts that Wu Weilin killed when he was in a hurry.

Seeing this, he quickly lost interest, threw down his backpack and turned away, heading towards the exit of the city's ruins.

Wu Weilin's corpse was lying quietly in place, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it became food for passing insects and beasts.
