Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1529 - 1526: Arrogance Leads to a Quick Death

There’s a song that goes like this: Just because in the crowd I glanced at you once more, I can never forget your face, dreaming of meeting again by chance someday, and since then I began lonely longing...

I recognized you amidst the sea of people, and you recognized me amidst the sea of people, what could be more beautiful than this, Xiao Manxue’s heart was suddenly filled with joy. Suddenly, Xiao Manxue remembered something, her expression became extremely grim, she somewhat hastily avoided Lin Tian’s gaze, continuing to walk towards the square.

However, the originally agile and steady steps now seemed a bit unsteady, unlike those of a seasoned Ancient Martial Artist. From afar, Lin Tian saw the reaction of Miss and deeply furrowed his brow.

What’s going on with this little girl? Clearly, she was happy at first, so what does the grim face afterwards mean? Could it be that I’ve become so unsightly that I scared people? A bunch of questions popped up in Lin Tian’s mind, reminiscent of Wang Wanxi’s various odd behaviors, his ominous premonition grew stronger.

As soon as Xiao Manxue appeared on the stage, she immediately captured everyone’s attention, not only because of the Hua Ying Sword in her hand but also because of her beauty.

In the Qingshuang Pavilion, where beauties were as numerous as clouds, Xiao Manxue’s beauty stood out exceptionally, among the guests present, there was no lack of beauty, the older generation included Ling Zishan and Wang Wanxi, while the younger generation included Ling Shuiyao, and of course, although Situ Ruoling was of bad character, objectively speaking, her appearance was quite good.

Among such a multitude of beauties, Xiao Manxue was not inferior, even faintly superior; Ling Shuiyao sized up Xiao Manxue from top to bottom, comparing her chest, waist, hips, and legs, and then disheartedly discovered that she couldn’t beat her in any aspect.

The little girl, of course, hadn’t thought about the fact that she was slightly younger than Xiao Manxue and still had room to develop.

On the platform, Tang Ziqing glanced at Xiao Manxue and slightly furrowed her brow, saying: "Manxue, what’s going on? You’ve been in situations like this many times, why are you distracted?"

"Master, I’m fine." Xiao Manxue slightly shook her head, responding.

While speaking, she inadvertently glanced at the corner, only to see Lin Tian winking at her, making an utmost effort to be flirtatious. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Xiao Manxue’s face slightly reddened, internally cursing, Lin Tian, you mischievous person, every important occasion has to distract me. But for some reason, seeing Lin Tian’s mischievous smile and gaze, her heart inexplicably settled down.

"It’s fine then, in a moment you’ll have to deal with the major families." Tang Ziqing reminded, and after saying this, she cupped her fist towards the surroundings and stepped down from the high platform, leaving Xiao Manxue alone.

Xiao Manxue’s gaze became resolute, she glanced at the major families below, raised the sword in her hand, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Hua Ying Sword, which I accidentally acquired from overseas last time."

The eyes of the Ancient Martial Artists shone again, and one of them shouted loudly: "Miss Xiao, the Hua Ying Sword hasn’t been unsheathed, how can we know it’s genuine? You’re not trying to make us admire a sword scabbard, are you?"

Who asked this question? It’s exactly like the tone of "watch the video" just now, Lin Tian silently cursed and turned towards the source of the voice.

Though surrounded by many Ancient Martial Artists, Lin Tian recognized the speaker at a glance, it was an old man, who at first glance seemed like an unscrupulous elder, indeed he was the one who had just shouted.

Xiao Manxue looked at the old man and said faintly: "The Hua Ying Sword doesn’t like being watched, it doesn’t like being commented on by others, if you have doubts, feel free to come up and try its edge."

These words were spoken firmly, Xiao Manxue’s implication was: Want the Hua Ying Sword to be displayed like an exhibit? No way! Want to know if it’s real, come up and exchange a few moves and you’ll know.

Lin Tian couldn’t help but cheer for Miss, thinking, she is still the tyrannical female CEO in my mind, overlooking all challengers, just like this in the business world, and the same in the Ancient Martial World.

The old man was left speechless by this retort, with his strength, he didn’t dare to come up and embarrass himself, not to mention the Hua Ying Sword’s power, even with Xiao Manxue’s level and realm, he didn’t dare to engage in combat.

"Boo..." A group of people jeered, Lin Tian also didn’t expect that the one who could cross the iron chains horizontally on the river should now concede. However, what Lin Tian didn’t know was, there weren’t that many people crossing the iron chains then, but now it’s being watched by all, if embarrassed here, this joke would be widespread.

Situ Ming secretly gestured to those behind him, two men suddenly stepped onto the stage, both of them middle-aged, bearing a striking resemblance, apparently twin brothers.

"Let us brothers try out the Hua Ying Sword, see if it’s truly as formidable as the legends say!" One of the middle-aged men said seriously, and after speaking, both drew weapons from their backs, a pair of oddly shaped weapons.

The weapons differed from traditional shapes, seeming neither quite like a sword nor a knife, their tips curved into sinister hooks, which if plunged into flesh and pulled out, would undoubtedly tear out a piece of flesh.

"You two against one person, isn’t that a bit unfair?" someone among the Ancient Martial Artists protested.

"Humph, we are twin brothers, regardless of any contest, we come together, if Miss Xiao feels afraid, just leave the sword, and she can go down!" The brothers said with righteous vigor, without the least bit of guilt.

It’s said that twin brothers or sisters can have psychic intuition, in life they like similar things, like the same people, even when one sustains an injury, the other can feel pain.

Such individuals practicing Ancient Martial together, cooperating as a duo, their power is not merely one plus one equals two because they can cooperate seamlessly, almost achieving Unity of Heaven and Man. However, what they said was too shameless, outright demanding Xiao Manxue to leave her sword.

"Let’s go together, to avoid wasting time." Xiao Manxue said coldly, refusing to back down.

The two middle-aged men narrowed their eyes coldly and suddenly charged forward without any warning, needing no prior discussion of moves, naturally, one attacking Xiao Manxue’s neck, the other targeting Xiao Manxue’s feet. A simultaneous upper and lower assault, mutual defense, seeming as if to cut Xiao Manxue into three sections with one strike.

Xiao Manxue remained unmoved, until the blades were about to reach her, she suddenly gripped the sword hilt, quickly swinging it.

"Clang..."

The treasured sword sang long, clear, and thrilling, merely a few flashes of sword shadow, then the scene was frozen, Xiao Manxue’s sword returned to its sheath, while the two middle-aged men stood still.

With a gentle sound, their odd-shaped weapons suddenly broke from the middle, the front segments fell to the ground, and the break was clean and smooth.

Simultaneously, a breeze blew through the valley, strands of hair floated down from the heads of the middle-aged men, landing next to the broken weapons.

Those who saw the moves clearly had their eyes brightened, those who couldn’t see were dumbfounded. Just now, Xiao Manxue didn’t even use the sword light, merely swung the sword, and with just one strike, she easily severed the brothers’ weapons, and the sword tip brushed past their foreheads, neatly slicing off a lock of hair.

If the sword of Xiao Manxue advanced just half an inch more, their skulls would have been split open, brain matter spilling out and dying.
