Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2103: Chapter 2100: Xu Feibai, You Scammer

"Mr. Xu, the stone sword is exactly the same as the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, it should be a statue left from ancient times," Yuan Liuming said with certainty as he circled the stone sword.

"Where’s the real sword?" asked Oda Manaka.

"Sword Qi is emanating from the mountain, the real Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword should be nearby." Lin Tian activated his super x-ray vision and scanned the cave, but there seemed to be a strange power within the cave, similar to the Barrier under Jinghua University’s construction site, making it hard for him to see clearly.

Xu Feibai walked directly to the stone sword and struck it with his palm. There was a loud bang, and the stone sword shattered, pieces of stone rolling everywhere. There was nothing inside, making Xu Feibai frown.

"You’re such a spendthrift. This stone sword could exchange for several courtyard houses in Jinghua City," Lin Tian really wanted to hit this guy, who, relying on his longevity, didn’t treat antiques as antiques.

The standard courtyard house in Jinghua City, four hundred square meters, starts at a price of one hundred million, and the highest transaction record is said to be one billion one hundred eighty million. And this stone sword is a fighter among antiques, an ancient stone sword with carvings on it, of immense research value.

For archaeologists, it’s priceless treasure, even for merchants with a sense of value, bidding ten billion wouldn’t bargain.

Xu Feibai glanced at Lin Tian innocently, "You didn’t say sooner..."

He waved Oda Manaka over, saying, "Take it back for repair, then send it along with this coffin to Jinghua University’s archeology department, in Lin Tian’s name."

"Forget sending the stone sword, but sending the coffin in my name, do you want me to never show my face in university again?" Lin Tian strongly expressed his discontent, strongly condemned.

"I’m several hundred years older than you..." Xu Feibai lightly said with a knowing look, "Trust me, although the stone coffin is not from the stone sword era, it’s certainly ancient. If I’m not mistaken, its age is similar to Abe Qingming’s era."

"That’s more like it, those old guys are archaeology fanatics, their eyes light up at the sight of an ancient coffin." Lin Tian chose to trust Xu Feibai’s judgment. Just as he himself said, having lived for hundreds of years, modern objects are antiques to him, but are just ordinary things to Xu Feibai.

However, Lin Tian still had some objection, "Why not use your own name?"

Xu Feibai spread his hands helplessly, "My identity is special, not convenient. As for you, you’re already an important researcher at Jinghua University’s key laboratory, having one more ’gift-giving’ title wouldn’t matter."

"Using my name is fine, but keep my information out of the media," Lin Tian stated the terms, non-negotiable.

"It’s your gift, whatever you say," Xu Feibai seemed indifferent, or perhaps trying to distance himself.

Several of his subordinates looked at each other in confusion, since their boss had never spoken so kindly before, typically only cold expressions had ever been offered, suggesting an unusual relationship with Lin Tian.

"Mr. Xu, the true sword is still nonexistent..." Yuan Liuming returned after circling around, frowning.

Just as he finished speaking, the stone coffin suddenly emitted a crunching sound, the heavy coffin lid slowly opened, a mysterious aura pervaded outward, lightly, yet heavily pressing on everyone’s hearts, Lin Tian included.

How could this be? Lin Tian squinted slightly; this aura was not unfamiliar, similar to the feeling when discovering Jiang Chen’s heart.

He had opened this coffin before, obtained many precious books from it, but back then, it didn’t have Jiang Chen’s aura. If there’s somewhere eerie, it’s the sound—last time he emptied the shrine, he heard a calling.

Now, he finally understood, this calling came from Jiang Chen.

In no time, the coffin lid opened fully, but the stone coffin remained empty, same as when Lin Tian had emptied it.

While he puzzled over this, the crunching sound echoed again, the stone slab at the coffin’s base began moving, revealing a dark hole.

A stone platform rose slowly, and on it, embedded was a bronze sword, ancient in its simplicity, the sword body adorned with strange engravings, resembling runes or patterns.

The moment the bronze sword appeared, Lin Tian felt the sword in his hand tremble, as if responding to the bronze sword.

"Master, this imitation Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword has completely surrendered," Yasuo said in Lin Tian’s mind.

"So this truly is the True Heavenly Cloud Sword." Lin Tian felt delighted, confirming the bronze sword’s identity.

A sword with spirit, just like the twin swords Purple Lightning, Clear Frost. Though they hadn’t birthed a Sword Spirit, they possessed a sentience. This imitation could be labeled a treasure sword too, having its own spirit, which was now completely subdued by the true Heavenly Cloud Sword.

The others also noticed the unusual condition of Lin Tian’s sword, clever minds deducing the same conclusion.

"Master, it must be the true Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword," Yasuo said excitedly, eyes locked on the sword, filled with hidden greed and possessiveness.

Xu Feibai cast him a faint glance, making Yasuo feel like he’d plunged into an ice cave, quickly lowering his gaze.

"Jiang Chen’s head should be inside the stone platform. Once the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword is pulled out, it should open up," Yuan Liuming said excitedly. Unlike Yasuo, he didn’t show greed at least not on the surface.

Xu Feibai stepped forward to grasp the sword hilt, but suddenly, the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword quivered, a cyan-colored sword light shot out, slicing toward Xu Feibai’s neck.

At the critical moment, the zombie’s agility showed its worth, with Xu Feibai’s body bending in a strange manner, narrowly dodging the sword light.

The sword light swept across, slashing into the stone wall as if it were tofu, the sword light slicing in until disappearing, leaving a deep groove on the wall.

"Such powerful might," Oda Manaka’s face was full of surprise, having previously only encountered it within the Barrier, now at close range, feeling it more vividly.

"Try it with the imitation Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword?" Xu Feibai suggested.

"Let me do it." Lin Tian raised his sword, purple flames ignited once again, swinging a blow at the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

Buzz...

The Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword quivered even more intensely, a larger sword light flew out, colliding with the bronze sword in Lin Tian’s hand.

Clang! The bronze sword unexpectedly broke into two pieces, one piece flying out, embedding in the rock wall.

Oda Manaka and others were completely dumbfounded, although this sword was an imitation, it had reached the level of a treasure sword, yet it had been easily severed!

Lin Tian swallowed hard, wondering if the Heavenly Tribulation Sword could withstand the sword light of the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword.

Soon, he reacted, saying something that left Oda Manaka and the others speechless, "It’s truly broken now. You said I wouldn’t have to compensate if it broke."

Xu Feibai’s face turned dark, slightly helpless, "You really don’t miss a chance, I was planning to give it to you as a reward upon completing the task. Seeing that’s broken, let’s forget it."

Now it was Lin Tian’s turn to be wide-eyed, he looked at the smooth broken edge of the sword, wanting to curse. He indeed did curse, "Damn you, Mr. Xu, too shady, pre-claiming my reward!"
