Lin Yu's expression showed a slight surprise.

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Why shouldn't it be?

"You're Japanese, how could you let go of a potential asset from an enemy country?" Lin Yu voiced his doubts.

Muto Hide smiled and said, "There is never a shortage of potential talents in this world. I have always admired young talents and longed for them to become strong enough to fight me in the future. Just because the other party is from an enemy country, I would kill a genius. This is disrespect for martial arts and a desecration of martial artists. This is not the true spirit of martial arts!"

Lin Yu was deeply shocked after hearing this.

"Amazing! Amazing! With such vision, no wonder you've gotten to where you are today!"

From beginning to end, Lin Yu didn't take it too seriously, even though he knew the person in front of him was very strong, and even posed a slight threat to him.

But now that the other person has said these words, he suddenly feels that the figure has become taller and more imposing, inspiring awe and respect!

"Since that's the case, I'll give you a dignified death today!"

Lin Yu smiled and asked, "What do you think of Fragrant Hills?"

Muto Hide's expression twitched. "Bury me here?"

"Isn't it enough that Babaoshan Cemetery is right next door?"

"I'm not a martyr of your Great Xia!" Mutō Ei rolled his eyes in anger.

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "If you hadn't given me a chance back then, I wouldn't have been able to leave Japan smoothly!"

"That was Her Highness's achievement, not my wish. Besides, you are the successor of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Would the elders just stand by and watch you die?"

"It's just a matter of fact; I accept this favor!"

"I don't need you to repay me. I've come here today only to ask for a way to survive for my people!"

Muto Ei said sincerely, "I can agree to any conditions. You must understand that there are good people and bad people everywhere. We cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

Lin Yu shook his head decisively, "This is the only thing that's non-negotiable. I can spare your and Zhenzi's lives, but I can't promise anything to anyone else! I don't have time to distinguish who's good and who's bad; I don't have much time left..."

"Precisely because time is of the essence, we should be even more cautious. People are equal and should live in harmony! We should work together to resist external conflicts!"

"It is precisely because a formidable enemy is at hand that we must eliminate any unstable factors. This is my principle in dealing with things!"

"So, there's really no room for negotiation?"

Muto Hide's eyes gradually dimmed, filled with endless disappointment.

"Draw your sword, or you'll truly have no chance!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he sighed, flicked his sleeve, and turned away.
