Chapter 744: Adoptive Father Above
"An Immortal?" Lin Shen sized up the white-haired Minotaur, halting his forward charge.
He didn't want to stop, but sadly, he lacked the ability to kill an Immortal.
The white-haired Minotaur did not answer Lin Shen, only looked at him with an indifferent expression and said, "On my Ultra-Burning Mother Star, slaughtering my people from the Ultra-Burn Tribe, a hundred deaths would not suffice to atone for your sins."
"Atone for sins? Why should I atone? Wasn't it your Ultra-Burn Tribe that first invaded our Human Race's mother planet?" Lin Shen said indifferently.
The white-haired Minotaur, with a righteous air, said, "My tribe did not invade, we were helping you primitive races to integrate into the Interstellar Civilization Era faster. Now it seems we were too kind-hearted, and you even dared to come to our land and wreak havoc, a blood debt must be paid with blood, let your life pay for the lives of my tribe's warriors."
Lin Shen almost burst into laughter out of anger; he had seen shameless people, but none as shameless as this.
Clearly a bandit, yet insisted on portraying themselves as saviors, he had only encountered such boring people in history textbooks before.
"You are an Immortal, you are stronger than me, whatever you say goes, I just don't know if your kind of logic would be accepted by the Celestial Race," Lin Shen said, expressionless.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired Minotaur chuckled coldly, "Some dogs live with humans for so long, they start believing they are human. But they fail to understand that no matter how long they live with humans, they will always be dogs and can never become human. No one would start a life-and-death fight over the death of a dog."
As he spoke, the white-haired Minotaur emitted a strange strength, and the space around seemed to twist slightly.
Lin Shen frowned slightly; he knew the white-haired Minotaur was determined to kill him now and would not consider his status among the Celestial Race.
"Xiao Yu..." Lin Shen was preparing to fight desperately with Xiao Yu's help.
Who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu had already charged toward the white-haired Minotaur.
"Very well, today we will fight together against an Immortal," Lin Shen said, his fighting spirit surging upon seeing Xiao Yu's bravery.
Lin Shen gripped the Inheritance Fan, ready to release a skill when he saw Xiao Yu slide on his knees in midair, gliding for hundreds of meters and kneeling before the white-haired Minotaur.
"Ever since I was born, I've been coerced by him; all my actions were against my will. I have long detested and loathed his deeds and wished nothing more than to kill him to find my peace, but being no match for him, I have been enduring and living in misery to this day. I thought I would never see the light again, yet today I've finally seen your august face, noble and benevolent sir, I beg you to save me from this agony. If you do not discard me, I am willing to swear you as my adoptive father and join you in eliminating this evildoer..." Xiao Yu's voice was full of impassioned and righteous indignation, then she knelt down before the white-haired Minotaur.
As Xiao Yu spoke, the mask on her face retracted automatically, revealing a face as delicate as a porcelain doll, with cherry-red lips and pearly teeth. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Lin Shen was dumbfounded, and even the white-haired Minotaur stood there in shock, looking at Xiao Yu's face, unable to harbor any feelings of animosity.
"You... you're not a pet..." the white-haired Minotaur looked at Xiao Yu, puzzled.
"That villain never treated me as a human, transforming me into this state," Xiao Yu's face was full of sorrow and rage.
"Very well, you indeed have sought your own death, committing such an outrage that angers both humans and gods. As it's said, 'The heavens watch as we act, and evildoers shall receive their due.' Your wicked deeds are many, and today you shall receive your retribution," the white-haired Minotaur said with disgust as he looked at Lin Shen, then extending a hand to help Xiao Yu up: "Child, from now on, with me as your father, no one in this world will force you to commit those evil acts."
"My adoptive father on high, please accept my bow!" Tears brimmed in Xiao Yu's eyes, seeming profoundly moved, and she bowed deeply.
Seeing the affection between the new father and daughter, Lin Shen felt he was still too young, his experience too limited; the ways of the world were indeed very hard to predict.
The white-haired Minotaur had seen Xiao Yu act through a video before, and his ruthlessness exceeded Lin Shen's by a considerable margin.
He was willing to accept Xiao Yu not because of whether Xiao Yu did good deeds, but because a Nirvana Being of such strength, if placed under his command, would be a tremendous help.
Now, the Ultra-Burn Tribe had suffered heavy losses, and it was naturally excellent to recruit such a powerful Nirvana Level fighter.
He could not stay with the Ultra-Burn Tribe forever. With Xiao Yu there, unless an Immortal came to attack, no one would be able to inflict such severe damage to the Ultra-Burn Tribe as Lin Shen did.
The white-haired Minotaur was also not afraid of Xiao Yu's betrayal. With his Immortal body, it would not be difficult to suppress a Nirvana Being. As long as he used some measures on Xiao Yu, he wasn't afraid that Xiao Yu could turn the sky over.
"Go to hell, don't fucking disgust me!" Lin Shen directly threw out the Inheritance Fan, which rotated intensely, flitting up and down like a butterfly, swiftly slicing toward the white-haired Minotaur and Xiao Yu.
"Father, be careful, I'll fight him." Xiao Yu said, turning around and cleaving with his sword towards the Inheritance Fan.
The terrifying Blade Qi, like a thunderous explosion from the heavens, bore an unstoppable momentum as it chopped toward the Inheritance Fan.
Just as the Blade Qi was about to strike the butterfly-like Folding Fan, the fan eerily moved in a graceful dance, bypassing the Blade Qi at an odd angle, slicing toward Xiao Yu's neck in an unexpected and unpredictable move that caught everyone off guard.
Shocked, Xiao Yu reached out with the Asura Fork in his hand, attempting to block the Folding Fan, but at that moment, the fan was already too close to his neck, and the Asura Fork was too late to intercept it.
The white-haired Minotaur was also slightly surprised. He had previously seen Lin Shen use the Folding Fan to kill enemies through the video and did not realize anything special about the fan; its strength and speed seemed mediocre, quite ordinary among those at the Nirvana Level.
The Nirvana Beings of the Ultra-Burn Tribe couldn't stop this Folding Fan, which made him feel disappointed about the level of skill among his clan's younger generation.
But now, witnessing Lin Shen's fan attack firsthand, he discovered that even he couldn't predict the trajectory of the Folding Fan. It was perfectly unpredictable, so it was no wonder his young ones could not defend against its attack.
Just as the Folding Fan was about to cut across Xiao Yu's neck, the white-haired Minotaur's hand appeared in front of Xiao Yu, astonishingly seizing the Folding Fan firmly in his grasp.
"In my presence, you dare to be so presumptuous... ah..." The white-haired Minotaur suddenly felt a pain at his waist and, looking down, he saw a small white jade fork embedded above his hip, with Xiao Yu's beautiful face resembling a jade doll on the other end.
The white-haired Minotaur had not anticipated such a turn of events and was stunned for a moment. In that brief lapse, Xiao Yu had already pulled out the fork and quickly retreated.
"You... deserve to die..." The white-haired Minotaur was furiously enraged.
He had not trusted Xiao Yu just now and had been on guard against him, but when he saw Lin Shen's Folding Fan about to kill Xiao Yu, he let his guard down for an instant, resulting in the surprise attack.
The white-haired Minotaur directly flung the Folding Fan in his hand toward Xiao Yu. Astonishingly, the fan was not under Lin Shen's control and shot towards Xiao Yu, reaching him in an instant.
Xiao Yu couldn't dodge in time, his body suddenly arching backward, and his white jade fork flicked upward at the Folding Fan, altering its trajectory slightly upward. The fan nearly brushed past his face as it flew over.
Lin Shen slashed at the Folding Fan, but the force of the fan sent him stumbling back repeatedly, his hand unable to maintain a grip on his sword, the Scrap Sword flying out of his hand.
However, because of this slash, part of the force exerted by the Folding Fan was dispelled, and after flying some distance, it finally came under Lin Shen's control again, flipping and flying back into his hand.
Lin Shen's other hand, which had been holding the sword, was still shaking violently, and he couldn't help but feel extraordinarily alarmed inside, "The strength of an Immortal is indeed beyond my ability to contend with; just a casual strike possessed such formidable power."
