Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1533 - 1530: If Words Fail, Use Force

Step over my corpse and take the Hua Ying Sword, Lin Tian said with a chilling tone, blocking any retreat. Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian’s tall back, feeling both sweet and anxious, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free from Lin Tian’s restraint.

Mr. Ji didn’t care about Lin Tian’s anger. In his view, it was childish for a weakling to say such things, just pointless rage. He said triumphantly, "No one wants your life. As Ancient Martial Artists, we must abide by the rules of the Ancient Martial World..."

"Don’t give me that bullshit about rules!" Lin Tian shouted, interrupting Mr. Ji, and said coldly, "If you want the Hua Ying Sword, just say so directly. Don’t act so high and mighty; it makes me look down on you!"

"You...you... are unreasonable!" Mr. Ji had never been treated so roughly before, his face was unusually ugly, but if one noticed the smile in his eyes, they would know that the more Lin Tian messed around, the more it played into his hands, as it gave the Ji Family a legitimate reason to act.

Originally looking grim, Situ Ming also smiled subtly, maliciously thinking, "Keep stirring things up. Once it gets too big, someone will naturally step in to deal with you!"

On the contrary, Ling Shuiyao, who used to always bicker with Lin Tian, seemed worried this time. She tugged Ling Zishan’s sleeve and whispered, "Aunt, this Lin Tian is too outrageous. If Aunt doesn’t step in to help him, he will suffer."

Ling Zishan glanced over and smiled slightly, "Didn’t you always bicker with him? Now that he’s in trouble, you should be happy."

Ling Shuiyao was embarrassed and immediately defended, "Who said I was bickering? He was always the one bickering with me anyway. But well, it would be a pity if such a handsome and interesting guy were gone."

Ling Zishan shook her head helplessly, and laughed, "Don’t worry. This isn’t the ancient Jianghu where life is as cheap as grass. Who dares to publicly execute someone?"

"For an Ancient Martial Artist, losing their martial arts is more unbearable than death. They might not execute him, but they could still disable Lin Tian’s martial arts." Ling Shuiyao voiced her concerns.

"Lin Tian isn’t that fragile, and I also want to see what Lin Tian’s potential is." Ling Zishan said indifferently, showing no intention to intervene.

Ling Shuiyao knew her aunt’s temperament. Once something is decided, it won’t easily change. The little girl could only pout to express her dissatisfaction.

On the high platform, Mr. Ji took a moment to catch his breath before sternly saying, "Since you so disdain the rules of the Ancient Martial World, don’t blame us for punishing you. With your current attitude, you aren’t qualified to possess the Hua Ying Sword."

The so-called righteous sects always find a grand justification to claim someone else’s treasure. Lin Tian used to think this only happened on television, never expecting to encounter it personally, and it was even more dramatic than portrayed on TV.

He was too lazy to say anything, waiting for the so-called punishment, as Mr. Ji waved his hand, and it seemed the confrontation was about to be triggered.

"Wait..." Someone stood up, interrupting Mr. Ji’s intention.

Lin Tian turned his head only to see Wang Wanxi standing up. In fact, Lin Tian didn’t want Wang Wanxi to get involved, as she represented the Wang Family now.

"Miss Wang, what do you have to say?" Mr. Ji looked at Wang Wanxi and asked.

"I think I understand what just happened. Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue brought back the Hua Ying Sword from overseas. In this matter, they are not at fault but have done a meritorious deed. If they hadn’t brought back the Hua Ying Sword, it might have been lost forever, which would be a great loss for the Huaxia Ancient Martial World." Wang Wanxi said reasonably.

This statement defended Lin Tian but was well-reasoned, with many Ancient Martial Artists nodding in agreement. Indeed, if it weren’t for Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue, they wouldn’t have the chance to see the Hua Ying Sword today.

After all, many people came to admire the Hua Ying Sword and had no intention of claiming it, and now it was clear that the Ji Family wanted the Hua Ying Sword the most, because combining the Hua Ying Sword with the Ji Family’s Sky Soaring Sword would be as powerful as the twin swords Purple Lightning and Green Frost.

Qingshuang Pavilion owning Purple Lightning and Green Frost isn’t just about owning two heirlooms. Because the Purple Lightning Sword and the Green Frost Sword are a pair, combined with Qingshuang Pavilion’s Cultivation Technique, they are almost unbeatable.

Similarly, if the Sky Soaring Sword and the Hua Ying Sword are combined with the Ji Family’s Cultivation Technique, they could rival the Purple Lightning and Green Frost.

Seeing the reactions of those around, Mr. Ji’s expression wasn’t good: "Miss Wang, it’s inappropriate to say it like this. Even though they did a good deed by bringing back the Hua Ying Sword, it doesn’t change the fact that the Hua Ying Sword’s origins are unknown."

"Heh..." Lin Tian sneered, disdainfully said, "In the end, all you want to express is that the Sky Soaring Sword belongs to your Ji Family."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji didn’t avoid it at all and directly admitted: "The Hua Ying Sword was once the companion sword of Emperor Zhuanxu, an ancestor of the Ji Family. It rightfully belongs to the Ji Family."

"Hahaha..." Lin Tian laughed out loud as if he heard the funniest joke.

The Ji Family members frowned, and even some Ancient Martial Artists found it strange why Lin Tian laughed, as Mr. Ji’s words shouldn’t be wrong.

"What do you mean?" Mr. Ji frowned and asked.

Lin Tian glanced at several people from the Ji Family, including Ji Zimo, and then said, "You claim that the Hua Ying Sword was once the companion sword of Emperor Zhuanxu, and based on this, it should belong to the Ji Family. But thousands of years ago, the Huaxia Land belonged to Emperor Zhuanxu. Does that mean the Huaxia Land should also belong to your Ji Family now?"

"Huaxia also once belonged to the Li Family of the Great Tang. Does that mean Li Wenfeng can claim that the Huaxia Land belongs to the Li Family?" Lin Tian looked at Li Wenfeng and said calmly, "So should the Li Family and the Ji Family have a contest to see whose world this actually is?"

This series of questions left everyone stunned, and while they felt something was wrong with the statement, they couldn’t argue against it. Li Wenfeng and Mr. Ji didn’t dare to respond, even if given the courage to say this land belongs to either the Li Family or the Ji Family.

But if they don’t dare to say it, it’s tantamount to admitting that the sword of Emperor Zhuanxu doesn’t belong to the Ji Family now.

"Since no one is speaking, I’m too lazy to stay." Lin Tian said disdainfully, then turned to Xiao Manxue, "I don’t want to see them, let’s go find the Second Miss."

"You can leave, but leave the sword behind." Mr. Ji’s eyes became sharp. Unable to win with words, he could only resort to force.

Though this old man was aged, his momentum was strong and overwhelming, more impressive than Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling.

Wang Wanxi quickly said, "Mr. Ji, as a senior, why waste your hand on the juniors? How about this, let the juniors have a match, and whoever wins, whoever is first, shall own the Hua Ying Sword."
