Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2062: Chapter 2059: Dilemma

"Lingyu, every day I guide souls, witnessing farewells, witnessing souls being scattered, it’s too cruel. You guide them on their return journey, back into reincarnation, it’s an invaluable act of merit." Mu Yun actually bowed solemnly to Zhang Lingyu.

"It was Lin Tian who refined the Mirage Demon, otherwise I couldn’t have done it." Zhang Lingyu didn’t take credit and even playfully winked at Lin Tian, implying, don’t refute me.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, shook his head speechlessly. He refined the Mirage Demon, but not for those souls.

"Lin Tian, Mu Yun Envoy, everyone, we must take our leave now, hoping we will meet again." Shangguan Ao Yue called Hongyue to Ziyue, and then came up to Lin Tian with a fist salute as a farewell. Ordinarily, she wouldn’t even have looked at Lin Tian and his group properly.

Lin Tian returned the salute, but just as he was about to speak, the ground suddenly shook, and a loud roar came from afar.

"A beast!" Ah Dai shouted urgently.

In the direction of the Blood Sea, a giant beast was charging towards them. The beast resembled a crocodile but was several times bigger, with a larger tail that swept from side to side, smashing the ground stones to bits as it ran.

The beast’s limbs were also very sturdy, each step upon the ground caused the stones to crack, and the most peculiar thing was, this crocodile-like beast had a strange head, with a sharp horn atop and two tusks protruding from its mouth.

The size, the power, the tusks, and the horn all indicated it was ferocious and aggressive.

The seemingly cumbersome beast was not slow at all and was about to reach the top of the slope. Shangguan Ao Yue quickly gestured, and Soul Hunters swiftly formed a defensive formation.

However, it was Xiao Manxuan who reacted fastest, directing Little Zi to control the Ghost Tooth Winged Human Beast to charge ahead. Although the creature’s movements were a bit stiff, it had been formidable in life, which is why the little girl allowed it to confront the beast.

With a bang, the beast and the creature collided, the beast’s horn instantly pierced the creature, pushing it back ten meters or so before tossing it into the air.

The beast charged forward just in time to collide with the fallen creature, tearing its body apart, splitting it in two. The horrific scene made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

The monster that had ravaged the fog was so vulnerable in the face of the beast, its sharp claws and fangs unable to penetrate the beast’s hide.

"Little Zi, come back." Xiao Manxuan jumped in fright and quickly called back Little Zi. A bug crawled out from the creature’s head, swiftly flying back.

The beast, unaffected, continued to charge at the Soul Hunter team, sending those with shields flying.

"Beast!" Shangguan Ao Yue leaped out from the group, executing a jumping slash with her giant sword at the beast’s head.

With a loud bang, Shangguan Ao Yue was knocked back by the beast’s rhino charge, her head colliding with the ground. Her giant sword was dislodged from her hand and fell to the ground, shattering a rock into pieces.

Although she was knocked away, the attack seemed effective, successfully attracting the beast’s attention as it turned from attacking the Soul Hunters to charge at her.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the beast’s path. Of course, the fastest among them was Lin Tian, the strongest too, and none of the other Soul Hunters dared to face it head-on, not after their leader was sent flying.

"Meteor Burst!"

Lin Tian roared, his fist like a meteor, crashing down on the beast’s head.

Fighting the beast barehanded, the Soul Hunters thought Lin Tian was mad. Even Hongyue, who had witnessed Lin Tian’s strength, was both shocked and worried because the beast’s power was terrifying.

Boom...

As the Meteor Burst fell, the punch indeed struck like a meteor, crushing the beast’s head down, yet the immense impact flung the beast’s body upwards, bearing down on Lin Tian.

Without waiting for that massive body to fall, Lin Tian grabbed the beast’s horn with both hands, and with a low growl, swung it with force, literally hurling the beast away.

Holding the horn, Lin Tian swung the beast twice around before throwing it far, smashing it into a stone peak. With a thud, it hit the rock, creating a large crater before sliding down to the ground.

The Soul Hunters were stunned. Shangguan Ao Yue, just behind Lin Tian, profoundly felt Lin Tian’s power, boundless like an abyss, endless.

She was a strength-type Soul Hunter and took pride in it, but now, she realized what true power was. She thought that playing with fire meant compromising strength, yet his was even greater, he was the real beast!

Roar...

The beast roared fiercely, shaking its head before standing again. Lin Tian squinted his eyes; he knew how much strength he had used. Against the monsters in the fog, that punch would have been enough to pulverize them, yet this beast stood again, only dizzy!

"Shangguan Ao Yue, you should retreat. If I’m not mistaken, this beast crawled out from the Blood Sea. It’s just the prelude; more powerful or numerous beasts might appear. Staying might mean death for all of you." Lin Tian said, neither looking at her nor the beast but at the boundless Blood Sea.

The beasts that can survive in the Blood Sea are not weaklings, Shangguan Ao Yue understood. Her gaze passed over Zhang Lingyu, Xiao Manxuan, and Mu Yun. She found no trace of fear on the three women’s faces; they were ready to advance and retreat with Lin Tian, to live or die as one.

Lastly, she looked at Lin Tian: "You still intend to advance?"

"Yes, even into the Blood Sea." Lin Tian replied calmly with his back to her.

Shangguan Ao Yue gritted her teeth and turned to her companions, saying solemnly: "Ziyue, Ah Dai, lead the team back to Blood Sea City, and take care of Hongyue."

Ziyue was startled and realized something: "Big Sister, surely you don’t mean..."

Shangguan Ao Yue interrupted her: "I will stay."

"Leader..." Ah Dai wanted to say something more.

But Shangguan Ao Yue’s sharp glare stopped him. The Female Warrior coldly said: "No more nonsense, leave immediately, this is an order, anyone who disobeys will be expelled, including you, Ziyue!"

"Leader, even if you have to kill me, I can’t leave you behind." Ah Dai insisted, his determined gaze speaking for the other Soul Hunters’ attitude.

Lin Tian was taken aback; the Soul Hunters’ decision, though irrational, was admirable. Whether it’s the team members or the leader, this trait made them different from other Soul Hunters.

Nonetheless, Lin Tian still spoke up: "You should go. The Blood Spirit Ore is crucial to the safety of the fortress and Blood Sea City. Without equipment made from Blood Spirit Stone, the next Evil Spirit Tide might not be withstandable."

"If the fortress falls and the city is destroyed, the family and friends you left behind in Blood Sea City will perish, and your Soul Hunter division will be ruined. The infamy you and your leader will bear is unspeakable."

These words left the Soul Hunters looking at each other because they hadn’t considered so much.
