Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2104: Chapter 2101: Drawing the Sword

Seeing Lin Tian so disrespectful to the boss, Yuan Liuming and the others were tense and wanted to stop him, but Xu Feibai waved his hand to make them step back, showing a level of tolerance they were witnessing for the first time.

Xu Feibai seemed indifferent and said, "Lin Tian, the Heavenly Cloud Sword connects to the entire barrier. If you can pull out the sword, it’s yours. Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied my ass! The sword is broken. Even if I’m tough, my neck can’t block Sword Qi, and my head will fall off. Game over." Lin Tian was skeptical, wondering if this guy wanted him to block the Sword Qi to deplete the barrier’s power.

Xu Feibai seemed to see through his thoughts and explained, "Earlier, it was indeed my mistake; I should have stopped you from attacking with the fake Heavenly Cloud Sword, which led to the real sword’s counterattack."

"The Heavenly Cloud Sword not only retaliates against a fake sword, but it also won’t allow the Jiang Chen Bloodline to approach. Otherwise, like Jiang Chen, your head will fall off. So, pulling out the sword is the best choice." Xu Feibai spoke seriously, as if it were true.

Lin Tian expressed doubt, immense doubt. He looked at Xu Feibai’s subordinates and smiled lightly, "Why don’t you let them pull it out?"

Xu Feibai didn’t speak, just gestured with his fingers to his subordinates. Oda Manaka showed a mysterious smile, then opened her mouth to reveal two zombie fangs.

Next, Yuan Liuming and Yasuo also opened their mouths, similarly revealing zombie fangs. Although the mask covered the face of the masked man, judging by the movement of the jaw, he too revealed the zombie form.

Several zombies grinning at you simultaneously was spectacular; an average person would be scared stiff. Lin Tian, however, had a dark expression, feeling helpless and speechless.

"You also saw it; they’re all zombies and, like me, part of the Jiang Chen Bloodline. Their level isn’t as high as mine. As soon as they touch the Heavenly Cloud Sword and the barrier senses it, the sword instantly emits Sword Qi, and their heads fall off." Xu Feibai spread his hands, also helpless like Lin Tian.

"Creating zombies on such a large scale, aren’t you afraid the Japanese forces will deal with your Xu Family?" Lin Tian frowned slightly, feeling quite perplexed.

Zombies need to suck blood, human blood, making them enemies to humans. Japanese people wouldn’t let them go unchecked, just like in Huaxia; if blood-sucking zombies appear, Demon Exorcists will hunt them down, the Zhang Family being the top among them.

Oda Manaka and the others laughed, Xu Feibai shook his head slightly and said, "In the mythology system of Japan, there are many demons and ghosts. In Huaxia, demons and ghosts are targets for extermination, but in Japan, Japanese people fear them and worship them as gods."

"This is because Japanese people instinctively bully the weak and fear the strong. When the power of monsters is great, they submit, even worship and pray, even if the monster slaughters those who worship it."

"For example, the legendary Orochi—every appearance a disaster for Japan, devouring thousands of people—but Japanese still worship and offer tributes to it, just because of its power, with no regard to good or evil, right or wrong. Now do you understand?" Xu Feibai said blandly.

They submit as long as the fist is hard. Lin Tian naturally understood this principle. Indeed, Xu Feibai’s living environment was excellent; at least he didn’t need to worry about being hunted by Demon Exorcists.

"Well, forget it. Who made me promise you? Let’s do it!" Lin Tian waved his hand, tired of the unnecessary chatter, tossed aside the broken sword, and walked toward the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

Lin Tian stretched out his hands, igniting purple flames, then grasped the sword handle. The Heavenly Cloud Sword immediately vibrated, buzzing loudly. Yuan Liuming and the others suddenly tensed; the earlier signs of Sword Qi emission were the same, and they couldn’t withstand the Sword Qi’s power.

"Master, the Heavenly Cloud Sword is condensing power," Sword Spirit cried in his mind.

"Then let’s see who has the stronger power." Lin Tian grew stubborn, not only refusing to let go but gathering power.

He grunted, his hand bursting with purple flame, eroding towards the Heavenly Cloud Sword. Simultaneously, the sword body also emitted azure light, spreading upward.

The azure light and the purple flame met in the middle of the sword body. As they collided, a hissing sound ensued, like they were devouring each other, yet also dissolving and obliterating.

The cave trembled as stones "sosososo" fell from the ceiling, as if an earthquake were occurring.

"Please, young master, wait outside the cave; it may collapse at any moment." Oda Manaka pleaded.

Xu Feibai stood unmoving, merely watching Lin Tian and the Heavenly Cloud Sword. Several people exchanged glances, showing difficulty; if the leader didn’t leave, naturally, they didn’t dare to withdraw, so they stuck it out with him.

The cave cracking wasn’t their biggest worry; what truly frightened them was Lin Tian’s purple flame. The more intense the purple flame became, it seemed ready to consume them if they ventured a bit closer.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword was originally bronze, but now half was dyed purple and half azure, two energies battling for control over the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

The two forces tugged back and forth on the sword body, neither yielding an inch.

"Master, might you die from expending your energy—oh no, from exhausting your power?" The Sword Spirit didn’t know whether to be excited or afraid, speaking somewhat incoherently.

"Die your damn uncle..." Lin Tian cursed, displeased, "You’re supposed to be sensitive to energy, yet haven’t you noticed the barrier’s power behaving strangely?"

"That’s true, given the Master’s current power, it shouldn’t be able to contend with ancient barriers. But the standoff with the barrier’s energy, evenly matched, is indeed unusual." The Sword Spirit pondered, speaking seriously.

"The barrier has already been partially destroyed, of course, it’s abnormal. If you have the ability, dive into the sword and control it; don’t just sit there directing traffic." Lin Tian said irritably, besides nagging, the Sword Spirit could only watch.

The Sword Spirit’s voice quickly softened, chuckling, "Master, I dare not. If I go in now, I’ll surely be torn apart by the energy turbulence. You wouldn’t be cruel enough to let me die, right? I am, after all, a rare species."

"Get lost!" Lin Tian replied with a single word, the purple flame in his hand surged again, and the flame mark on his brow appeared clearly.

Yet, using fire power extensively caused his brow to ache faintly, seemingly about to crack open at any moment.

Before, Xu Feibai easily fractured the barrier because it was merely set by Onmyoji. However, the barrier before them was truly an ancient one.

Xu Feibai frowned tightly, his right hand firmly gripping the Flowing Light, seemingly ready to act no matter what.

Lin Tian didn’t spare a thought for others, fully focused on combating the azure energy. This energy wasn’t violent yet remarkably tenacious, refusing to yield no matter how the fire’s power pressed.

Suddenly, Lin Tian felt his thumb quiver slightly, so subtle, had his spiritual sense been less keen, he wouldn’t have sensed it.

Next, he felt a lightness throughout his body, as if shedding a thousand-pound burden, seeing the purple flames rapidly invade while the azure energy weakened quickly, retreating as if something was devouring it.

In a short while, the purple flames occupied the entire Heavenly Cloud Sword.
