"Hmm?"
Lin Xuan, whose expression was unreadable, was drinking wine when he suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction. Immediately afterward, Yan seemed to sense something as well, and quickly burrowed into Lin Dong's body, disappearing.
At this moment, Lin Dong and Little Marten also noticed that three auras were rapidly approaching, followed by many more auras in hot pursuit.
Little Flame, without a word, reached out and gripped the black iron rod beside him. However, after Lin Xuan glanced over, he immediately reacted, released the iron rod, and gave Lin Xuan a simple, honest smile.
Little Marten, seeing Little Flame's reaction, couldn't help but curl his lip, unsure whether he thought Little Flame was overreacting or just too cowardly.
The campfire flickered, and Lin Xuan leisurely drank his wine, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if lost in thought. Beside him, Little Zhu Yan and Fu Zhu, two beasts who were usually at odds, were now quietly lying together, drinking wine.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With a few sounds of air being torn, three figures quickly emerged from the darkness. The first man was quite burly and rugged in appearance. Behind him were two women, one dressed in red, outlining her slender and graceful figure. Her face was also quite charming, making her a beauty.
The last woman, standing behind the red-clad woman, was a young woman dressed in green, with a delicate and pretty face. Moreover, compared to the man and the red-clad woman, the green-clad girl's clear, dark eyes revealed a hint of innocence, with a faint trace of timidity.
Little Marten had just withdrawn his gaze from the three when he noticed that Lin Xuan, who was sitting there, had his eyes fixed on the green-clad girl, making Little Marten feel a little uneasy.
Although, position-wise, that guy was facing the three of them directly, so he could see them as soon as he looked up, how could that guy, with a temperament colder than a sword's edge, focus his attention on irrelevant people? And he just happened to be looking at that green-clad girl.
Little Marten still remembered that the last time this guy stared at someone like that, it seemed to be that little girl named Jiang Yinyin, and then that little girl turned out to be a Reincarnator of the Lord of Life and Death.
This time, could this green-clad girl be another reincarnation of one of the Ancient Eight Rulers?
Just as Little Marten was lost in wild thoughts, he suddenly felt a chill running up his spine, startling him back to his senses. He saw Lin Xuan staring intently at him, and couldn't help but give a sheepish smile.
After Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze from the green-clad girl, he sensed something and turned his head, only to see Little Marten's strange expression. Before he could ask, he saw Little Marten immediately avoid his gaze, leaving Lin Xuan somewhat puzzled. He didn't seem that scary, did he?
Forget it, wine is more interesting!
After shaking his head slightly, Lin Xuan ignored everything else and continued to drink from his wine pot.
The rugged-looking man cautiously scanned Lin Dong and the others, then glanced at the Fu Zhu lying on the ground, his brow furrowing slightly. However, because of the firelight and the fact that Lin Xuan was facing them directly, he couldn't see the distinctive silver hair, so he didn't notice anything, just subconsciously feeling that something was wrong.
As for Zhu Yan, it was too small and completely blocked by Fu Zhu. Plus, it had white fur, so it was impossible to see it without looking closely.
Although he felt something was amiss, the pursuers behind him forced the rugged man to suppress the strangeness in his heart for the time being. He cupped his fist and said politely.
"Friends, we got lost in the mountains and dare not wander around, fearing we might accidentally enter a monster's lair. Seeing a campfire here, we wonder if we could rest here for a while?"
Little Marten glanced at Lin Xuan, who had no reaction, and felt a little more at ease. Compared to Yan, that unreliable guy, Little Marten obviously trusted this guy's perception more. If he didn't react, it meant that the green-clad girl wasn't a Reincarnator.
Immediately, Little Marten didn't even lift his eyes and refused unceremoniously, because he smelled trouble on these people.
"No can do!"
"You!"
Being rejected so rudely, even coldly, by Little Marten made the red-clad woman raise her eyebrows, wanting to say something, but she was stopped by the rugged man. The rugged man only looked rugged, but in reality, he was very meticulous.
Although he didn't know why, since a few days ago, the wild monsters no longer rioted at night, such monsters were even more threatening because they were smarter and more cunning!
Under such circumstances, these few people, plus a particularly beautiful monster, dared to light a campfire so openly in the mountains, and there were no traces of monsters around, which showed that these people were not ordinary.
More importantly, the rugged man always felt that the drunkard sitting there drinking wine was somehow familiar, but he couldn't quite place it, so he naturally didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Since our friends don't want to be disturbed, then we three will take our leave!"
The burly man once again cupped his fist in a salute to Lin Xuan, preparing to leave with the two women. However, the young girl standing behind the man bit her lip, and although there was a hint of timidity in her eyes, she still mustered her courage to speak.
"Big brothers, we won't disturb you. We'll just stay here for a while, until dawn, no, until half an hour later, then we'll leave. If you're not satisfied, we can give you some Nirvana Pills as compensation!"
"Sure, then give us a few million Nirvana Pills to show your sincerity!"
Little Marten said with a nonchalant expression, startling Lin Dong, who turned his head in shock. The girl in green, upon hearing Little Marten's words, flushed red with anger, and her large eyes welled up with mist.
This scene directly stunned Little Marten. This Ancient Battlefield was a killing field, extremely chaotic. Those who could enter were not only the elites of various dynasties, but also people with firm minds and ruthless hands. However, the reaction of the girl in front of him left Little Marten dumbfounded.
"Sit."
Just then, Lin Xuan, who had been sitting there silently drinking, suddenly spoke, prompting Lin Dong and Little Marten to turn their heads to look, and even the three green-clothed girls looked over.
The burly man raised his eyes and saw that the white-robed drunkard had put down the wine pot in his hand, lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Only his silver hair was extremely dazzling under the light of the fire.
Silver hair, white clothes, a four-cornered white deer spirit beast...
"God of, God of Slaughter!"
The burly man tried hard to swallow his saliva, and his voice became stagnant. The red-clothed woman beside him even trembled slightly.
Hearing this title, Lin Dong and Little Marten's expressions turned strange. Fu Zhu couldn't help but look up, and even Little Flame couldn't help but take a few more glances at the burly man. Only Lin Xuan didn't react at all, and just spoke again.
"Sit, she and I have some connection."
"That girl's body should have a Spirit Seal left by an ancient powerhouse. That ancient powerhouse should have obtained some inheritance from an ancient divine beast, so this guy will take care of her."
Just as Lin Dong was puzzled, Yan's voice sounded in a timely manner. However, after listening, Lin Dong became even more confused. Spirit Seal, what the hell was that?
At this time, the burly man realized that he had misspoke, and his neck shrank slightly. The red-clothed woman beside him was even more pale.
On the other hand, the originally timid green-clothed girl didn't have much fear on her face, but instead added a bit of curiosity. After obtaining Lin Xuan's consent, the green-clothed girl said with a happy face.
"Thank you, thank you, big brother!"
"I am Su Kui, greetings Sword Saint, I misspoke just now, and my little sister was rude, I hope Sword Saint will forgive me!"
Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be angry, the burly man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly spoke. The red-clothed woman on the side also gave a respectful salute.
"Liu Ya greets Sword Saint!"
"Mm!"
Lin Xuan responded softly, raised his head and looked at the somewhat cramped and restrained expression on Su Kui's face, then turned his head to look at Su Rou standing aside. Su Kui saw this and quickly said.
"Sword Saint, this is my younger sister Su Rou."
"Not bad, this kind of aptitude is not below me, and it's not a disgrace to that inheritance!"
After nodding slightly, Lin Xuan praised softly, but Su Kui's face changed slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Xuan to see it at a glance. However, he quickly calmed down again. If the Sword Saint wanted to make a move, he would be powerless to resist with his strength.
Little Marten couldn't help but lower his head after hearing Lin Xuan's words. Lin Dong also endured his strange expression and smiled at Su Kui and the others.
"My name is Lin Dong, these two are my brothers, Lin Diao and Lin Yan, this is the Young Clan Leader of my Lin Clan!"
"Lin Dong?"
The corner of Su Kui's mouth twitched again. The famous Killer in the Northwest region, even he had heard of this name. Although it was not as thunderous as the Sword Saint's Name, it was definitely a well-known fierce person.
In the end, a Killer and a God of Slaughter, these two turned out to be from the same clan, and the burly man like an iron tower beside them, as well as that handsome young man, were clearly not easy characters to deal with.
"Lin Clan? Your clan is truly full of talent and strength!"
"You flatter us, my Lin Clan is just a small family in the Great Yan Dynasty!"
Lin Xuan said softly. Even with Little Flame and Little Marten, their Lin Clan only had a total of six people participating in the Hundred Dynasty War. Not to mention advanced dynasties, they were inferior to many intermediate dynasties, truly a small family.
But these words sounded a bit off to Su Kui. A Lin Clan had not only produced a Sword Saint, the acknowledged strongest and most talented participant in the history of the Hundred Dynasty War, but also a Killer Lin Dong, who had made a fearsome name for himself in the Northwest region.
Adding in Little Marten and Little Flame, whom even Su Kui couldn't see through, such a lineup was beyond even super dynasties, yet they all came from the same family. How could such a family be small?
Su Rou, on the other hand, sat down obediently, looking at Lin Xuan, who was silently drinking, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Sensing Su Rou's gaze, Lin Xuan couldn't help but turn his head. Caught in the act, Su Rou's face instantly turned red, and she said a little embarrassedly.
"Um, I feel like you're a bit different from the rumors."
"Different how?"
Hearing Su Rou's words, Lin Xuan paused for a moment before turning back, continuing to drink his wine, and asked softly.
Unexpectedly, Su Rou shook her head, and after hesitating for a moment, she replied in a very uncertain tone.
"I can't really say, it's just that I feel like you're not as bloodthirsty as the rumors say."
"Bloodthirsty? The rumors aren't wrong, I never blink when I swing my Sword!"
Lin Xuan raised his head and took a sip, saying calmly. For him, he was never slaughtering, just clearing away the stumbling blocks on his path.
As a swordsman, Lin Xuan never lied. He didn't like killing, so he basically gave everyone a chance to choose life or death, but most people just couldn't seize that opportunity.
"No, the legend says that the Sword Saint is a cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty person, but I feel like you're not like that at all, Big Brother."
For some reason, Su Rou always felt a strange sense of closeness when facing Lin Xuan, so she boldly struck up a conversation with him.
After speaking, seeing that Lin Xuan was nothing like the rumors said, Su Rou became much bolder and more at ease, feeling like she was facing someone familiar.
"What kind of person should I be in the legends?"
Looking at the innocent and pure girl beside him, Lin Xuan's face also softened a bit, and he said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Su Rou frowned tightly, as if trying to think hard about something. After a while, she turned to look at Su Kui before speaking.
"Just like my brother said just now, in the legends, they all call you God of Slaughter, saying that you not only kill without blinking, but also destroy the geniuses of an entire dynasty at the drop of a hat, and also say, also say..."
Looking up at Lin Dong, who had turned to look at her, Su Rou hesitated for a moment, but finally murmured.
"They also say that compared to the God of Slaughter, the other person known as the Killer's killing intent is not worth mentioning."
"Haha!!"
Little Marten burst out laughing subconsciously, but suddenly stopped halfway, as if his throat was stuck. Meeting Lin Dong's resentful gaze, Little Marten smiled sheepishly.
The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth also lifted slightly. He didn't expect those worldly rumors to be quite interesting sometimes.
"In that case, the rumors are indeed not wrong. I can indeed be considered a person who kills without blinking!"
