Chapter 57: The Sensible All-Nature! The Snake Immortal Who Became a God of Slaughter

To strike or not to strike?

That is the question!

Xia He and the others looked at each other in dismay.

If they were to strike, there was no way to get through today without a few people dying, and it was even possible that all of them would die right here.

Ding Daoan, the most formidable fighter among them, was already lying on the ground.

Their current actions were, in truth, merely self-preservation in the face of shock.

"We didn't cross the line!"

Yuan Tao suddenly spoke up, pointing to the scratch mark Lin Xuan had just drawn on the ground.

The others looked at the mark on the ground, then their gazes fell upon Lin Xuan.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan stepped forward and walked toward the group.

As he advanced, the group slowly retreated.

Lin Xuan lifted his foot, crossed the line he had drawn, and walked forward.

Xia He, Yuan Tao, and the others subconsciously split to the sides, watching Lin Xuan walk up to Ding Daoan.

"You even killed him?"

Xia Liuqing was currently manifesting Qin Qiong through his Divine Mask, holding twin maces, his speech sounding like a theatrical performance.

"Since you dare not strike, why not leave?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at them.

Although these words sounded blunt, the group all breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at Ding Daoan, then at Lin Xuan, and finally looked at each other.

"You little brats of the All-Nature, since Lin Xuan is letting you off, why don't you get lost!"

A voice rang out, and then a figure appeared, enveloped in green light.

Fang Dongtian!

At this moment, it was clear that Fang Dongtian had projected his Yang Spirit.

Yet his Yang Spirit was as substantial as a physical body.

"Fang Dongtian!"

Xia Liuqing's expression was guarded.

As an old fellow from the same era, Xia Liuqing was also familiar with Fang Dongtian.

In his youth, he was also a god of slaughter.

It was just that after he took charge of Baiyun Guan, there hadn't been much news of him.

Although Fang Dongtian was not as famous as Lao Tianshi, he was still one of the old monsters of the Outsider world.

The group watched Fang Dongtian with caution.

Lin Xuan alone had already put them under immense pressure, making it hard to breathe, and now another old monster had arrived.

With decades of cultivation in Yang Spirit projection, this old Daoist's primordial spirit cultivation was absolutely shocking.

After the group exchanged glances, Xia He spoke up.

"If you want to die, go ahead, I'm still young."

After saying this, Xia He turned and left.

"This old man still has attachments, so I won't keep you company either."

With one or two leading the way, the others, seeing someone take the initiative, turned and left without a word.

Seize the opportunity to leave while it exists, otherwise, stay behind and keep Ding Daoan company.

As for Ding Daoan's fate, it would depend on his own luck.

Although they had called each other sect-mates and talked of helping earlier, their relationship had not reached the point where they would risk their lives for him.

Preserving their own lives was the priority now.

In an instant, the group of All-Nature experts had vanished completely.

"Ding Daoan!"

Fang Dongtian walked to Lin Xuan's side, looking at Ding Daoan, who was exhaling more than he was inhaling, his expression complex.

"Judging by your tone, Grandmaster, you know this person?"

Lin Xuan didn't care about the departure of those from All-Nature, but Fang Dongtian's tone indicated he knew Ding Daoan.

"Back in the day, this kid had quite a reputation in the Outsider world; his talent was high enough, and he was sincere, going to many sects to learn their arts. Why do you think so many sects were willing to teach him a little something?"

Hearing this, Fang Dongtian looked up at Lin Xuan and sighed.

"Back then, quite a few sects wanted to keep him in their own, but unfortunately, this kid was impervious to reason."

From this tone, Lin Xuan gathered that Fang Dongtian had likely wanted to take Ding Daoan as a disciple back then, but hadn't succeeded.

"He is indeed quite good; this person has many techniques, and he has practiced each one well."

Although the fight hadn't lasted long, the techniques Ding Daoan used were numerous, and each was coordinated in an orderly fashion.

One could only say his talent was indeed excellent.

And given Ding Daoan's current strength, those sects from back then were not wrong in their judgment when they wanted to recruit him.

This guy was someone who could hold up an entire sect.

"This guy later liked to go around the Outsider world looking for people to fight, but most people in the Outsider world knew him, and even those old fellows wouldn't use their full strength when fighting him.

At most, it was just a spar."

"And then, he joined All-Nature? After all, everyone was calling for his head."

Lin Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"That is how it is."

Fang Dongtian looked at Ding Daoan, a look of obvious regret on his face.

But then he thought of Lin Xuan beside him.

Ding Daoan was very good, but compared to Lin Xuan beside him, the gap was apparent.

Ding Daoan and Na Ruhu were of similar age, and their strength was also about the same.

But looking at Lin Xuan now, it seemed as if he had never even fought anyone.

Yet Ding Daoan had been beaten half to death.

A crowd of unruly masters from the All-Sex did not even dare to utter harsh words, retreating directly.

"How does Grandmaster think Ding Daoan should be handled?"

Lin Xuan asked, looking at Fang Dongtian.

"Hmm, although he joined the All-Sex, this kid hasn't done any evil deeds, so it's not worth killing him; notify the Company at daybreak to come and collect him.

The All-Sex has caused such a stir this time, the Company won't just sit by and watch."

Fang Dongtian said after thinking for a moment upon hearing this.

"Then we shall do as Grandmaster says."

Lin Xuan nodded.

When Ding Daoan showed mercy earlier, his intent to kill had already faded.

After all, with his cultivation, that surge of anger came quickly and went just as quickly.

To him, the events of tonight were not worth getting angry over.

"Then I will leave it to Grandmaster; I also need to go check on Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and turned to walk toward the mountain.

"Hey..."

Fang Dongtian waved his hand upon hearing this.

You child, is there anyone who dumps things on their elders like this?

Fang Dongtian turned and raised his hand, but before he could speak, Lin Xuan's figure flickered a few times and disappeared into the mountain forest at night.

"His speed is quite fast, it looks like an escape technique or some kind of Daoist art."

Seeing Lin Xuan leave, Fang Dongtian said with some surprise.

Afterward, he looked down at the half-dead Ding Daoan, his eyes indeed showing some regret.

If he could have taken Ding Daoan into Baiyun Guan back then, plus having Lin Xuan as the ultimate guarantee now.

Would there be any need to worry about the future inheritance of Baiyun Guan?

Thinking of this, Fang Dongtian reached out to grab Ding Daoan, his body rose into the air, and he headed toward Baiyun Guan.

As for Baiyun Guan, Qing Bai Er She strictly executed Lin Xuan's orders.

Anyone who dared to break into the courtyard walls was killed, leaving not one alive.

In fact, things at Baiyun Guan ended even faster than at Lin Xuan's side.

After all, the All-Sex people who gathered there were mostly small fry; their strength wasn't necessarily high, but they were the type to be all the more arrogant the weaker they were.

But they were also the most cowardly type.

Seeing their companions beaten into two halves and falling before them while trying to cross the courtyard wall, there were naturally fewer people who dared to continue breaking in.

Then, after a few more died, the rest simply ran away.

One by one, they fled desperately down the mountain.

If Lin Xuan's order had been to kill them all, these people probably wouldn't even have had the chance to run.

But Lin Xuan's order was that anyone who dared to break in would be killed without mercy.

Therefore, these people had a chance to survive.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing transformed back into human form, standing on the courtyard wall looking outside.

A thick, bloody stench spread.

Inside Baiyun Guan, many young Daoists looked at Qing Bai Er She with awe.

They were familiar with these two, as they had always been by Senior Brother Lin Xuan's side.

They never expected them to have turned into gods of slaughter tonight.
