Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2134: Chapter 2131: Disarming the Sword

Miss ever so slightly furrowed her brows; having such a mood ruined by someone was really a buzzkill.

Ling Shuiyao immediately pulled a pouty face and hurriedly ran over, calling out as she ran, "Who’s so bold as to cause trouble in Langya Pavilion?"

Lin Tian and Miss exchanged a look and followed. After turning two bends, the stone steps suddenly disappeared not far ahead. Between two mountain peaks was a sea of clouds and mist, with a narrow rope bridge hanging above that ocean, linking the peaks together. This rope bridge was the only path up the mountain.

The rope bridge was formed from several iron chains with simple planks laid across them. When the mountain wind blew, the chains and planks creaked and rattled. Compared to the single chain at Qingshuang Pavilion, this bridge looked much safer—after all, it had planks.

But in fact, those planks were even more dangerous. Who knew if you’d slip when you stepped on them, or if they’d snap? After all, after so many years of wind and rain, even the best wood would rot.

Still, no matter how dangerous it was, it couldn’t stop Ancient Martial Artists, especially those from ancient martial clans. At this moment, several young men and women were boldly crossing the bridge with swords in hand, only to be blocked by a sword-bearing woman.

The noisy commotion was coming from those youths. They were voicing their displeasure at the sword-bearing woman, arrogant and overbearing.

Lin Tian swept his gaze over and found a few familiar faces among those young men and women. Only, they weren’t old flames; they were enemies—Situ Yufeng and Situ Ruoling were among them.

Back at Qingshuang Pavilion, Lin Tian hadn’t just taught Situ Ruoling a lesson; he’d also ruined Situ Yufeng’s marriage. The guy wanted to marry Miss and tried to swindle the Ice Soul Necklace; Lin Tian smashed that plan as well.

You could say Lin Tian shattered the Situ family’s plan to restore the Qixue Sword and became their greatest enemy.

Seeing this pair of siblings, the Xiao sisters and Ling Shuiyao all turned cold-faced; all three girls had their own grudges with the Situ family.

"Members of the mighty Situ family, making a racket in my Langya Pavilion—where’s your upbringing?" Ling Shuiyao went straight in with a question, not giving them any face at all.

Scions of great clans most hate being called ill-bred. As soon as the young disciples heard that, their faces darkened, especially the Situ Siblings.

Situ Ruoling frowned and said coldly, "It’s you, Ling Shuiyao. Others may fear you, but I don’t. Don’t think having an aunt at Mid Innate lets you act like the world is beneath you. If you’ve got guts, we’ll settle it in the Ancient Martial Tournament. I’ll beat you into a pighead."

"Even if I rely on someone, it’s still better than your fake marriage scams. All that for the Ice Soul—truly shameless." Ling Shuiyao would never let herself suffer a loss; she shot back instantly and jabbed right at the Situ family’s sore spot.

Sure enough, Situ Yufeng and Situ Ruoling’s faces changed at once. But before they could explode, they saw Lin Tian and the others walking over.

When the siblings saw Lin Tian and Miss, their expressions were as wonderful as could be—rage, unwillingness, an extremely complicated mix.

"Lin Tian, you really showed up. I’ll make you pay!" Situ Ruoling didn’t have that much stability; thinking of being tied up by Lin Tian, the fury in her heart surged out of control.

Lin Tian acted as if it had nothing to do with him, giving a light laugh. "Pay? Oh, I look good, I’m naturally good-looking. You don’t need to say it—Miss and Second Miss can both testify to that."

He was obviously twisting her words on purpose, and in such a narcissistic way that the Xiao sisters immediately shot him a charming glare.

"You..." Situ Ruoling’s anger stalled; she felt like she’d swung a punch into cotton, that frustrating feeling of having nowhere to exert force.

"You what you. Believe it or not, I’ll tie you up, strip you naked, and toss you into Vermilion Bird Lake to feed the fish." Lin Tian sneered.

Miss rolled her eyes at him again and murmured, "You’re such a pervert. Tossing her in the lake is one thing, but why strip her? She’s a girl at least."

"I’ll kill you!" Situ Ruoling finally lost control. She drew her sword and slashed at him, forgetting Lin Tian’s record at Qingshuang Pavilion; she wasn’t his match at all.

Lin Tian didn’t even look at her. He flicked the sword with a backhand tap. With a clang, the longsword snapped into several pieces. Situ Ruoling was shaken back again and again, then clutched her wrist, clearly in considerable pain.

"Lin Tian, don’t go too far!" Situ Yufeng stepped forward, glaring angrily at Lin Tian, but he held himself back from attacking. He knew that if he did, he’d only be asking for humiliation.

"I’m going too far, so what? Ever since you lot got Miss expelled from Qingshuang Pavilion, I’ve been this ’too far’ toward the Situ family." Lin Tian was downright thuggish and domineering, not denying it in the slightest.

Ling Shuiyao gave Lin Tian a thumbs-up, the first time she’d found him so pleasing to the eye.

"I hope you can stay this arrogant." Situ Yufeng’s face was dark as he tossed out a perfunctory line, with a faint hint of threat.

He of course didn’t intend to make a move. Dragging his unwilling sister, he was about to step onto the rope bridge, but was blocked again by the sword-bearing woman.

"Please remove your swords." the woman said coolly.

Only then did Lin Tian notice that behind the sword-bearing woman was a stone, with two carved characters on it: "Remove Sword." So this was what the Situ family and the woman had been arguing about.

Situ Yufeng raised the sword in his hand, face full of icy pride. "Hmph, the sword in my hand is the Situ family’s supreme treasure, the Qixue Sword. If we hand it over to Langya Pavilion and it gets lost, even Ling Pavilion Master couldn’t bear that responsibility."

The Qixue Sword was in the same class as the Purple Lightning Qingshuang Sword. Though damaged, it was still a sect-suppressing treasure. On the surface, what he said wasn’t wrong. But the sword-bearing woman remained unmoved, still blocking the way. Clearly, whether it was a supreme treasure meant nothing to her; she only recognized the two characters "Remove Sword" on the stele.

"This is the rule of our Langya Pavilion. The Yuwen Family’s Sky Halberd has also been removed; the Qixue Sword is no exception. It will naturally be returned when you fight your matches." The sword-bearing woman spoke with neither arrogance nor servility.

Situ Ruoling’s face turned cold; she was about to explode, but Situ Yufeng stopped her. He glanced at Lin Tian and the others, his eyes flicking, and tried to sow discord. "They’re carrying swords too. You should make them remove their swords as well; otherwise you’re showing favoritism."

Miss didn’t even glance at him. With a wave of her hand, the Hua Ying Sword appeared in her grip. The young disciples of the Situ family watched with burning envy. This was the famed Hua Ying Sword, whose reputation surpassed even the Qixue Sword—the star of the last Sword Appreciation Assembly.

She stepped forward and respectfully handed the sword to the sword-bearing woman. The woman returned the salute very politely, her attitude completely different from how she treated the Situ family.

Ling Shuiyao whispered to Miss, "Sister Xiao, thank you for giving me this face."

Miss smiled and said, "It’s fine."

The sword-bearing woman shifted slightly to the side, opening the path—naturally for Miss, not for the Situ disciples.

Lin Tian and the others couldn’t be bothered to argue with them and were about to step onto the rope bridge, when Situ Yufeng suddenly spoke out to stop them. "Hold it!"

"Situ Yufeng, are you done yet? If this blows up, the ones losing face will be your Situ family!" Ling Shuiyao said coldly.

Situ Yufeng ignored her and looked at Lin Tian. "If I remember correctly, Lin Tian has a Divine Sword, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. Is he an exception who doesn’t have to remove his sword?"
