Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2035: Chapter 2032: Made a Huge Profit

The power of fire and Taiyin Xuan Qi have both plundered so much energy, they are simply the epitome of taking the easy path; the power of fire is somewhat better as there’s the purple flame to utilize, while Taiyin Xuan Qi totally devours without leaving anything, offering no benefits whatsoever.

Lin Tian even suspects that if not for the plundering by these two powers, his zombie physique would have already leveled up, solidly reaching second-level green eyes. Of course, now he can only imagine.

"Master...Master, I just cursed. You won’t take it out on me, will you?" the Sword Spirit cautiously asked, not daring to refer to itself as ’this king’ anymore.

"What are you afraid of? Keep fighting!" Lin Tian responded irritably, continuing to wield his sword, but his speed of cutting down still couldn’t match the speed of the evil spirits’ surge.

"Lingyu, split the battlefield and slow down the evil spirits," Lin Tian shouted while harvesting.

Hmph, hmph, I thought you could manage alone, Zhang Lingyu snorted twice internally, feeling a bit joyful seeing Lin Tian needing her.

She took out a transparent card, which was painted with complex green runes, clasped her hands to hold the card at her palm center, muttered a few words, and then pushed out her hands, sending the card flying.

The card suddenly exploded in midair, transforming into a mass of green light, rapidly spinning, forming an Eight Diagram. Runes on the diagram shimmered, suddenly shooting numerous light dots toward the ground.

Once the light dots touched the ground, they embedded into the soil and stones, followed by a ground shake, countless vines burst forth from the ground. The vines were black, covered with sharp spikes, more resembling some creature’s tentacles.

Recently, Lin Tian had been dealing with the Zhang Family’s vines — those of the beautiful Heavenly Master, Zhang Ruyan. Back then, he found the vines strange, unlike pure beings from the Human Realm.

Now, under the gloomy aura of the Netherworld, he finally understood these vines were certainly cultivated from Netherworld creatures. Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt peculiar, wondering if he had really been tied up by Zhang Ruyan last time, would he have been taken advantage of?

"Master, are you in a battle yet thinking of inappropriate imagery..." the Sword Spirit commented uncomfortably in his mind.

"None of your business!" Lin Tian retorted rudely.

In front of the fortress, vines continued growing out, getting denser, tangling with each other, forming tunnel-like walls. Previously, these vine walls couldn’t hinder the evil spirits, instantly torn apart by the tide of evil spirits.

But now, the evil spirits didn’t attack, only unconsciously gathered towards the ancient sword. The vine walls segmented the entire battlefield into maze-like Eight Trigrams Arrays, with the evil spirits taking several large rounds before coming out.

This reduced the pressure on Lin Tian significantly, preventing him from being overrun by evil spirits. He swung the Heavenly Tribulation Sword relentlessly, but even so, the harvesting wasn’t fast enough, so he released the Crescent Blade.

Under his mind control, the Crescent Blade spun rapidly around him; during the rotation, Lin Tian discovered the Crescent Blades were interlinked with flashes of lightning, which came from his own body.

With these lightning connections, controlling the Crescent Blade seemed smoother. Lin Tian suddenly thought of something; Tang Xuan Su’s sword control might rely on Spiritual Sense and a True Qi field. Being a zombie, he couldn’t utilize True Qi for sword control, so he considered using blood sacrifices for cultivation.

But blood sacrifices were too slow. Unexpectedly, after absorbing the lightning energy from the Zhang Family, these energies had such wonderful use, closely resembling the effect of the True Qi field.

Zombies couldn’t cultivate True Qi — a field of blood sacrifice combined with lightning. Lin Tian suddenly realized that this was his only path for cultivating sword control!

"Hahaha, I’ve had another epiphany..." Lin Tian thought through, laughing in his mind.

"You really are a monster, able to gain insights through self-practice. How can those disciples from prominent families compete?" the Sword Spirit deeply lamented.

Being the Sword Spirit of the Sword of the King, it had seen countless cultivation geniuses, but none could self-learn like Lin Tian, not even the former master King Arthur.

"Monster, my ass. I am naturally a scholar." Lin Tian said confidently and unwillingly.

Feeling elated, he harvested with more pleasure, simply allowing the Crescent Blade to be enveloped in purple flame as well. The three Flame Blades spun and danced like three Fire Dragons, shredding the evil spirits upon contact, instantly devouring their energy.

Even now, Lin Tian couldn’t discern the material of the Crescent Blade, able to withstand the power of the purple flame, its sharpness comparable to the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. Acquiring these three blades from the Shrine was quite the prize.

In the distance, He Shan watched Lin Tian recklessly cutting down evil spirits and was somewhat dumbfounded. City Lord Jia slapped his head, shouting, "What are you looking at? Get moving now! Planning to let Lin Tian alone eliminate the tide of evil spirits?"

"Oh, right, get moving, brothers, let’s go for it!" He Shan snapped back to his senses, shouting to the cavalry behind him.

Those whose mounts hadn’t died charged forth, those whose mounts had died transformed into infantry and joined the attack. He Shan and City Lord Jia brandished their weapons, leading the Cavalry Group, rejoining the battlefield.

At this moment, from the city gate, a team also rushed out, at the forefront was Mu Yun wielding a slender sword, all coming to support Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn’t care whether there was support, just keeping on harvesting, continually devouring energy.

Most of the absorbed energy was snatched by the power of fire and Taiyin Xuan Qi, Lin Tian himself absorbed a small portion, whereas the Sword Spirit was most unfortunate, only able to pick up some leftovers, yet it couldn’t anger, nor could it speak against them — these two authorities, it couldn’t provoke.

Lin Tian once again unleashed Sword Energy Cross, countless evil spirits were slaughtered, a massive energy surge transmitted into his body from the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. The two powers again plundered separately, such familiar sensations he dismissed casually.

However, as the energy entered his brow, this time, he felt somewhat different; his brow suddenly grew a swelling sensation. As though something inside was about to emerge, accompanied by swelling, there was a feeling of pain, rapidly turning into a splitting level of agony.

"Damn, what’s happening?" Lin Tian, aching drastically, halted the harvesting of evil spirits, even losing control of the Crescent Blade, which fell with clangs.

The pain intensified, eventually causing him to even drop the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, clutching his forehead with both hands, a scorching sensation emitted from his brow, even burning his palms painfully.

"Lin Tian, what’s your condition?" Mu Yunli, approaching from the city gate, noticed something wrong as he was closest.

"I...I don’t know!" Lin Tian stammered, due to the pain, his fists clenched, venting heavily by pounding the ground. Evil spirits nearby were instantly sent flying, and cracks appeared on the ground.

As he released his hands, Mu Yun promptly saw a purple flame mark appearing on his brow, different from previous marks, this one wasn’t stationary, but slowly rotating and emitting a faint purple glow.

Zhang Lingyu also noticed Lin Tian’s anomaly; she was aware of Lin Tian’s zombie identity and knew the power of fire was the lineage power of Nu Ba, but at this moment, she didn’t know what was happening.
