291: Chapter 291 is actually quite interesting!

Seeing these monsters, the women clearly paled in fright.

They didn't fear even the strongest of enemies, but these things were clearly not "human"!

Lin Xiao had sensed them long ago, so he wasn't flustered at all. He instantly locked onto them with the Eye of God...

[Xue Feng, 378 years old, Medicine Man, former dynasty swordsman, Aptitude: Earth Grade]

[Gui San, 381 years old, Medicine Man, former dynasty assassin, Aptitude: Earth Grade]

[Yu Guyao, 412 years old, Medicine Man, Yu family ancestor, Aptitude: Heaven Grade]

Holy crap!

As expected of the "Eye of God"!

You really can see through them!

Lin Xiao confirmed that these three were truly not "living people," but "weapons" that had died hundreds of years ago and were then refined through some secret technique!

"Interesting..."

They even refined their own ancestor? That's ruthless!

Watching the three red-eyed Medicine Men pouncing toward him with incredible speed, Lin Xiao first activated "Indestructible Diamond Body"!

When facing unknown opponents, it was always right to ensure invincibility first!

Lin Xiao then grabbed his black blade and slashed directly at the shoulder of the first Medicine Man, Xue Feng!

With his strength as a Great Grandmaster, this strike naturally destroyed the chainmail instantly.

As an arm was severed, Lin Xiao felt something strange.

"Hmm?"

He had clearly hit it, but there was no sense of impact, as if he had cut through foam.

The arm that fell off emitted a foul stench, clearly carrying a potent toxin.

"Everyone, retreat!!"

Lin Xiao threw a palm strike to create a gust of wind, blocking the toxic gas.

The women behind him didn't dare to chatter at this moment; they hurriedly ran out, fearing they would be a burden to him.

Although the Medicine Man Xue Feng had lost an arm, he felt no pain. He clawed and scratched directly at Lin Xiao, with toxic gas continuously leaking from his wound.

Without a word, Lin Xiao struck with a Great Mercy Hand, sending the guy flying. With a "bang" in mid-air, he was blown to pieces!

At the same time, the Medicine Man Gui San crawled up behind him like a phantom.

"Holy sh*t!"

Lin Xiao was startled. This fellow's speed was so fast that he hadn't dodged it even in his Startled Swan state?

It seemed that after being turned into a Medicine Man, his speed was possibly even faster than when he was alive.

Gui San's black fingernails tried to pierce Lin Xiao's skin.

But Lin Xiao's body was protected by astral qi, and he directly shook him back with a jolt.

With a backhand flurry of two slashes, he split Gui San's body into four pieces in mid-air!

"No!—"

Seeing two precious Medicine Men lost in the blink of an eye, Yu Songxi was fuming with rage!

One must know that these three Medicine Men could solo-kill even a Martial Arts Grandmaster; after all, they were invulnerable to blades and spears and carried potent toxins.

But he never expected that Lin Xiao's strength would far exceed that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!?

Realizing the situation was dire, Yu Songxi quickly rang his bell.

"You killed my son, I'll take you down with me!!"

Upon hearing the bell, the remaining Yu Guyao rapidly retreated to Yu Songxi's side.

It bit into Yu Songxi's neck, and in an instant, it sucked the old man dry like a mummified corpse. Its already crimson eyes glowed with an even more demonic light.

Yu Yingying, who was nearby, had already collapsed to the ground in terror, and in her shame, she had even wet her pants!

For a girl, everything before her eyes was simply unbearable!

At this moment, Lin Xiao felt a violent surge of power from Yu Guyao!

Could it be...

Before he could think further, Yu Guyao had already sprinted toward him at high speed, leaving a trail of afterimages!

Although Lin Xiao had already retreated, there was simply no way to dodge...

"Boom!!—"

With an explosion, the Yu family ancestor who had "lived" for over four hundred years blew up directly into chunks of shredded meat!

Lin Xiao felt an unprecedented impact, as if a heavy bomb had detonated right in front of him!

Fortunately, with a dozen seconds left of his forty-plus seconds of "True Man Time," he forcibly withstood it.

Lin Xiao mused to himself; as expected of a world with Earthly Immortals, there were not only zombies but also corpse explosions?

If the soldiers of the Great Zheng Dynasty three hundred years ago had encountered such siege zombies, it would be a miracle if they could hold their ground!

As the toxic blood mist began to dissipate, Lin Xiao struck out two waves of qi to disperse the mist completely.

He quickly jumped into a pool and stripped off his dirty clothes.

He then jumped into a deserted corner and changed into clean clothes.

By the time he jumped over the courtyard wall and arrived outside the Earls Mansion, the women were calling out loudly.

"Husband!"

Xiao Qingxuan saw the dark interior and didn't dare to enter rashly. Seeing Lin Xiao emerge safely, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, seeing that Lin Xiao had changed his clothes and his hair was wet, everyone was still somewhat taken aback.

In such a short time, what exactly had Lin Xiao gone through?

"Don't go in yet. The three corpses inside are all highly toxic. Wait for the toxins to disperse first."

As Lin Xiao was speaking, he suddenly sensed someone peeping.

His brow furrowed, and he suddenly accelerated, leaping toward a tavern outside the Earls Mansion.

But as soon as he got there, a figure turned into a wisp of black wind and fled over a hundred meters away!?

Lin Xiao happened to be stuck in the cooldown of Startled Swan; he really couldn't catch up by chasing normally.

"Escape technique?"

Lin Xiao faintly felt that the movement technique this person used was somewhat similar to Princess Li Xinglan's Blood Escape, though more sophisticated.

Thinking it might be some expert from the martial world just passing by, Lin Xiao didn't have any leads for the moment.

When he returned to the women, they were all very worried.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"Is there still someone who escaped the net?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing, probably just someone passing by."

Xie Juner looked into the Earls Mansion with some anxiety.

"General, can we go in now?"

As they were speaking, they saw Yu Yingying walking out from inside with disheveled hair and eyes red from crying, looking lost and soul-shattered.

Xie Juner hurried forward, hugging the girl and patting her to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, it's over... it's all over..."

Lin Xiao felt a bit of pity. Since Yu Yingying was fine, it seemed that the corpse poison was harmless to those with the Yu family bloodline.

However, if she hadn't listened to Yu Songxi, she might have been blown to death.

This girl's survival was actually entirely due to her innate kindness and making the right choice.

"Husband, those few just now seemed to be Nanjiang Medicine Men," Zhao Caiwei suddenly spoke up at this time.

Lin Xiao was startled. "Caiwei, how do you know?"

Zhao Caiwei was also surprised: "Judging by your tone, husband, you already knew?"

Lin Xiao nodded, not wanting to say too much.

"As expected of my husband. I only heard a bit about it from Linger because her master had told her."

"In Nanjiang, there is a mysterious tribe that gives people special drugs while they are alive. When that person is on the verge of death, they can be refined into Medicine Men death-soldiers who obey forbidden techniques."

"Medicine Men only need the owner to continuously supply blood to remain undecayed for a thousand years, immune to water and fire, and carry potent toxins."

Zhao Caiwei wasn't certain: "Those three monsters just now looked just like the legends say."

"How terrifying, such evil techniques exist in this world?"

Mu Wanying felt goosebumps all over, and Leng Bingyan beside her also had her brows tightly knit.

"What Caiwei said is likely correct. I've seen some secret scrolls in the palace archives with similar records."

"But because this technique is too evil, once it appears in the world, it is condemned by all parties, so it has long since vanished."

Xiao Qingxuan frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that the legendary Medicine Men would be hidden right here in Yu Prefecture City."

Lin Xiao looked at Yu Yingying, whose emotions were gradually stabilizing.

"Miss Yu, did you know about the family's practice of raising Medicine Men?"
