Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2059: Chapter 2056: I Won’t Fall for That

"A flaw? Mu Yun works for the Netherworld, and Blood Sea City urgently needs Blood Spirit Stones. She has the responsibility to assist. Isn’t it normal for her to be excited upon seeing Blood Spirit Ore?" The Mirage Demon protested.

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "She does have responsibilities, but as a Mu Yun Envoy, she acts reservedly and steadily. No matter how adept you are at creating illusions or how deftly you mimic, you’re just a bodiless demon living in deserted places, and you don’t understand things like personality."

"So, I suspect there’s a problem with Mu Yun, though I’m not sure what it is. We need to enter the Blood Sea, which is even more dangerous. To prevent any problems from exploding at that critical time and getting us killed, I plan to solve the issue thoroughly during the mining operation."

"To be on the safe side, I had Lingyu secretly set up a barrier. But unexpectedly, before any measures were taken, you exposed yourself. Truly a huge trap — if we hadn’t discovered it now, we would have been doomed in the Blood Sea," Lin Tian calmly explained the entire process.

"Your mind is so meticulous..." Shangguan Ziyue exclaimed, her mouth agape in astonishment. Despite being nearby during the mining operation, she was unaware of all that he had done.

The Mirage Demon seemed upset at being outsmarted, and after a long silence, it snorted, "Humph, so what if you trap me? How long can your barrier last? My illusion is bound to outlast yours. How can you exhaust me?"

"However, I have a more entertaining idea—if I draw you all into the illusion too and have you engage in mutual slaughter, that would definitely be fun, hahaha..." The Mirage Demon imagined the amusement and smugly laughed.

Mists rolled, and several indistinct streams of air attacked Lin Tian and his companion, on the verge of penetrating their bodies. Lin Tian squinted slightly, and a flame mark appeared on his brow, releasing an invisible pressure that collided with the streams, causing them to dissipate instantly.

Zhang Lingyu remained still, but above her head appeared an energy phantom, square in shape, with a tiger above, divine grace like the sea, divine might like a prison.

The streams collided with the energy phantom and instantly vanished—White Tiger Seal, dispelling evil and slaying demons, impervious to all methods!

"You..." Three shocked voices arose: Shangguan Ao Yue, Ziyue, and the Mirage Demon.

The illusion invasion technique failed, and the Shangguan Sisters finally understood that Lin Tian’s party were not merely wastrels; they were hidden experts, whom they had previously underestimated.

The greatest shock was for the Mirage Demon, whose illusion invasions had never failed, yet today faced repeated issues.

"Without some tactics, who would venture into the Blood Sea? Now it’s our turn—as long as we eliminate you, your illusion will collapse on its own!" Lin Tian stated coldly.

Lin Tian extended his finger to the talisman card, and a purple flame appeared at his fingertip, extending to the card and merging with its talisman.

Xiao Manxuan held the talisman in one hand and formed a seal with the other, chanting incantations; the Purple Flame Barrier trembled, the flames grew fiercer, and started to contract inward, dispersing the fog as the barrier passed.

"Want to use a barrier to destroy me? Let’s see if you’re capable of it." The Mirage Demon shouted through clenched teeth, evidently enraged by Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu.

With a dull explosion overhead, a mass of black gas burst, transforming into countless streams that dispersed again, turning into a thick fog that completely vanished.

"Ran away?" Ziyue glanced around, seeing no movement, suspecting the Mirage Demon had fled.

Lin Tian activated his super vision but saw no shadow, suddenly realizing something and shouting, "Be careful, it’s going to possess someone."

Previously, Mu Yun had been quietly possessed by the Mirage Demon. Those possessed by the Mirage Demon couldn’t control themselves and became puppets; even if it commanded them to streak, they couldn’t resist.

Yet after he shouted, there was no movement around, and the four who remained standing exchanged worried glances.

"Shangguan Ao Yue, have you ever seen how Mu Yun was possessed?" Lin Tian asked with furrowed brows.

Shangguan Ao Yue shook her head, "Everything seemed normal when she appeared. If the Mirage Demon hadn’t revealed itself, I wouldn’t know she was already possessed."

"So, it means one of us might be possessed, including those who fainted." Lin Tian voiced the worst-case scenario, glancing over the Shangguan Sisters, the Soul Hunter lying on the ground, finally meeting Zhang Lingyu’s gaze.

"Not me..." Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu said in unison.

Just as they finished speaking, Zhang Lingyu struck with her fist. Completely unguarded, Lin Tian took the hit to his abdomen with a bang, the force heavy, yet he merely swayed and didn’t move a step.

"What are you made of, so tough?" Zhang Lingyu asked, her voice curious.

"I have other hard parts; just didn’t expect Lingyu, with the White Tiger Seal, would still be possessed by you," Lin Tian remarked coldly.

He fixed his gaze on the Beautiful Sky Master before him, unable to spot any issue from the exterior, had the Mirage Demon not spoken directly.

"White Tiger Seal? Ha, I’m shapeless and invisible, so long as you breathe, I can enter your body through your breath. Unfortunately, I can’t control Taoist arts, but this body is good enough for hitting—let’s see how tough you really are." Zhang Lingyu displayed an evil smile, a face she would never show under normal circumstances.

With a crack, she swung the Demon-suppressing Whip, aiming for Lin Tian’s face. Lin Tian remained expressionless, didn’t bother dodging, and simply caught the whip. Without the aid of Taoist techniques, the Demon-suppressing Whip was merely a slightly sturdier whip.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Tian moved to appear right in front of Zhang Lingyu, her speed so startling it surprised the Shangguan Ao Yue sisters. Close combat ensued; Lin Tian flipped his hand to grab Zhang Lingyu’s shoulder, while she didn’t evade, kicking directly toward his groin!

The body not being the Mirage Demon’s, she showed no care, exchanging blows deliberately aimed at a man’s vital areas, precisely as she said — to test its toughness.

Even with a zombie’s body, Lin Tian feared neither punches nor kicks to his vital areas, but getting hit would be embarrassing. He swiftly raised his leg to block the deceitful kick, simultaneously pulling her shoulder closer, switching hands to grab her arm, twisting forcefully to lock it behind her.

With their bodies close together, Lin Tian held her tightly, employing techniques he’d learned from Ning Luoxi, locking Zhang Lingyu while she lacked Taoist arts, leaving her no chance to break free despite the suggestive posture. At least it ensured Zhang Lingyu remained unharmed.

Just as she was subdued, the Beautiful Sky Master’s face changed; she struggled and shouted, "Lin Tian, what are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me? Let me go!"

She was calmer without moving, but as she squirmed, Lin Tian felt a delightful sensation from his chest, soaring with pleasure.

Regarding the Mirage Demon’s demand, Lin Tian sternly refused: "Little Demon, trying to beguile me again? Not going to happen with me."
