Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Ximen Swordsman
“There’s no need to have met before to make acquaintance, first come, first served. You grabbed the lion’s share, that’s your luck. The rest of us just hope for a sip of the soup. If fate allows us to meet again, the bonds of friendship will remain. What do you think, brother?” The person above didn’t reveal their identity, simply suggesting that the two should not interfere with each other’s affairs.
Lin Shen felt that there was some truth to what the person said. If Lin Shen truly couldn’t carry everything away, letting the other person take some wouldn’t be a problem.
The key point was that Lin Shen could carry them away, and he didn’t know how much the other person could take.
Lin Shen only brought one large bag and a few small backpacks and couldn’t take much in one trip since he could come and go at any time, there was no need to carry many bags.
But others might not be the same. What if the other party took a large bag and packed all the Green Crystal Eggs to take away? That was something Lin Shen couldn’t accept.
“Having soup is fine, but it depends on how much you drink. You can’t just take the whole pot,” Lin Shen said.
“Take as much as you can eat; that’s your capability, I have no objections,” the person replied.
Lin Shen fell silent, and the two remained at a standstill.
The person’s intention was clear: it didn’t matter to them how much Lin Shen took, and how much they took was none of Lin Shen’s concern.
“Friend, it’s no use standing guard; you can’t take the items with you anyway. Why be so stubborn? Who knows if you can come back here next time? It’s meaningless,” the person outside continued to persuade.
“What if I said I could take everything away with me?” Lin Shen pondered before adding another sentence.
This time, it was the other party’s turn to fall silent. The underlying assumption that the person didn’t mind Lin Shen taking away the Mutant Eggs was because there were enough Green Crystal Eggs here. As long as they could take away a large quantity, they could still fetch a high price.
If Lin Shen took them all, that was something they couldn’t accept either.
“Brother, I am Ximen Swordsman. We can talk things over,” the person said after a moment of silence, suddenly indicating their name.
Lin Shen thought to himself, “Well, that’s something. Soft tactics didn’t work, so now it’s time to throw around a big name. Too bad, I really haven’t heard of that name. Ximen Swordsman, is that supposed to be famous?”
“Ah! Is this person Ximen Swordsman? For real?”
“Oh my, it turns out this person is Ximen Swordsman; I had no idea before.”
“Haha, Ximen Swordsman actually went to Realm King Planet. That guy down there must be dumbfounded now. Ximen Swordsman tried to negotiate nicely just now, and now he must be full of regret.”
“This is getting interesting. I’d genuinely like to see what that kid’s expression is right now.”
“…”
Lin Shen did not recognize Ximen Swordsman, but among the spectators from the home planet, there were many who did, and they began to get excited.
Unfortunately, both were shining strong lights at each other, and the image was just a halo of light, so it was impossible to see what the person behind the flashlight looked like.
However, once the name Ximen Swordsman was mentioned, most believed that the person below was in trouble.
Although the reputation of Ximen Swordsman wasn’t as resounding or legendary as that of Bai Shenfei or Ouyang Yudu, in certain circles, Ximen Swordsman was still a synonym for strength.
As a nomadic Mutator with no identity or background, Ximen Swordsman had traveled to many places and left behind many stories that dazzled for a time.
The event people relished most was when Ximen Swordsman, for the sake of a woman, single-handedly challenged a base with his sword alone.
Even though it wasn’t a Super-Base, it was still overseen by an Ascender.
In front of that Ascender, Ximen Swordsman destroyed the base’s family, and the Ascender was injured, passing away shortly after due to the old wounds.
Those who knew of this incident held Ximen Swordsman in no less esteem than Ouyang Yudu, and some even respected him more.
After all, behind Ouyang Yudu stood the entire Ouyang Family and God’s Love Base, whereas the Ximen Swordsman came from humble beginnings. Reaching such heights was truly difficult for him.
Ximen Swordsman had also been to Tiancheng, where he helped the Wei Family hold their position for four years, during which he experienced countless monster waves, big and small.
Whether in achievements or experiences, Ximen Swordsman could be considered the pinnacle of Human Mutators.
However, it was said that Ximen Swordsman was capricious and had a very strange character, just by looking at how he exterminated a Base family with an Ascender over a woman, one could tell how ruthless he was.
From the perspective of the spectators, the fact that Ximen Swordsman was so easy to talk to at the beginning was already giving the man enough face.
But that man was too ignorant, and now that Ximen Swordsman had announced his name, it was natural that he wouldn’t settle for just half anymore.
“Nice name, I’ll remember it. If there’s nothing else, please leave,” Lin Shen wasn’t going to put up with these antics.
As this statement was made, onlookers began to show odd expressions.
This was Ximen Swordsman, who had dueled with an Ascender, and although he hadn’t killed the Ascender at that time, the Ascender indeed died because of the fight with him. Such a figure, and yet the person below seemed as if he had never heard of him, still so arrogant—this was simply a slap in the face of Ximen Swordsman.
“Haha, Ximen Swordsman must be dumbfounded right now.”
“This brother is truly awesome. Even the top geniuses of the super clans wouldn’t dare to speak to Ximen Swordsman like this.”
“It’s over; just now, he might have been able to take a portion of the Base Mutation Eggs, but now, not to mention taking the eggs, it’s even questionable if he can save his own life.”
“Brother, do you really not know what kind of ruthless man this Ximen Swordsman is?”
“Someone this tough must have some confidence. Maybe he’s from one of the super families.”
“What if he is from a super family? Ximen Swordsman has taught lessons to those clan geniuses before.”
Ximen Swordsman indeed felt a bit baffled. In recent years, he really hadn’t encountered a Mutator who didn’t give him face like this.
“Since brother is so stubborn, then we can only adhere to the rules of the martial world,” Ximen Swordsman sighed.
“What martial world rules?” Lin Shen asked.
“The one with the bigger fist is the one who’s right,” Ximen Swordsman replied.
“If you had just said so earlier, why the pretense and waste words. If you are capable, come down and take them,” Lin Shen said with mockery.
“You make a fair point. Here I come,” Ximen Swordsman said and leapt into the pit, striding over to stand opposite Lin Shen.
“Brother, us fighting could damage these Base Mutation Eggs, which benefits no one. How about this, neither of us uses our pets, I will only strike three swords. If you can block my three strikes, I will leave today. How does that sound?” Ximen Swordsman continued.
“Good idea, I think it’s workable,” Lin Shen answered.
“Then it’s settled, I’m going to strike now,” Ximen Swordsman said as he drew his sword from its sheath.
His sword was very narrow, the blade only as wide as a finger, emitting a faint blue light, as if carved from sapphire.
When the sword was drawn, it turned into a streak of blue lightning aiming for Lin Shen, with astonishing speed.
Almost at the moment of the strike, Ximen Swordsman’s flashlight went out as well.
What was more unexpected was that as Ximen Swordsman struck with his sword, Lin Shen’s flashlight also went out at the same time. In the pitch-black sand hole, only that streak of blue lightning raced through the dark space.
