Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1551 - 1548: Enough Is Enough

Xiao Manxue was filled with fear as she saw her sister acting so recklessly. Without thinking much, she struck her sister's nape. With a soft sound, Xiao Manxuan's body went limp and leaned against her.

"Sister, why did you stop me?" Xiao Manxuan asked weakly, her voice tinged with sobs.

"You still want to transform? That's courting death. Everything Lin Tian and I have done would be in vain," Xiao Manxue reprimanded sternly.

"But Lin Tian..." Xiao Manxuan wanted to mention that Lin Tian was in danger, but upon seeing the situation in the arena, she was stunned.

Within the enclosing sword net, a shadow flickered rapidly. Yes, Xiao Manxuan could only see a flickering shadow, but Wang Wanxi and the others saw Lin Tian weaving through the sword net with a strange movement technique.

Tang Ziqing and Tang Muling's combined assault was flawless, but under Lin Tian's super perspective, though not full of loopholes, there were still traces to follow. More importantly, Lin Tian was also familiar with Sword Energy Cross. Knowing the pattern of Sword Energy Cross, what seemed like a dead zone to others was a place where life thrived for him.

Lin Tian was like a master thief breaking into a treasure vault, dodging the laser net in the passages, except that this laser net was produced by machines, while the sword net here was cast by Innate Experts.

If Tang Ziqing held the Purple Lightning Sword, Lin Tian's situation would be much more difficult, as the combined power of the Purple Lightning and Green Frost Swords would be several times greater than now.

There are no ifs in this world. Lin Tian accelerated again, preparing to rush through the gap between two sword lights to pursue Tang Ziqing and break their combined assault.

Suddenly, "Zheng..." a slight sound reached Lin Tian's ears. At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw a blue-violet sword light abruptly appear amidst the white sword Qi. The blue-violet sword light was so fast it was almost untraceable.

Lin Tian's mind was focused on withstanding the combined assault of the two, but the blue-violet sword light flashed, reaching him in an instant and piercing through his chest.

Pain, intense pain, spread through his limbs and bones in a flash. Blood slowly oozed from his front and back, staining Lin Tian's clothes red. The sudden attack disrupted Lin Tian's movement technique, and three sword lights struck at once—one slashed his back, one his shoulder, and one slashed across his chest.

"Roar..." Lin Tian let out a furious roar, forcibly breaking through the sword net. The combined assault ended, the myriad sword lights disappeared, but in the arena, Lin Tian stood still, head slightly lowered, unable to move due to the pervasive pain.

More blood flowed from his wounds, dyeing Lin Tian's clothes a deeper red. The shocking sight of the blood made onlookers gasp in shock.

The sudden change left everyone stunned. They all looked in one direction where a woman in simple attire stood, and beside her, a sword hovered in mid-air. Yes, hovered—no one was holding it, the longsword just floated in the air like that!

"Sword Control!"

"Master Tang actually made a move!"

These were the two thoughts that sprang up in everyone's mind. Indeed, the person who had ambushed Lin Tian was Master Tang. Master Tang had actually reached the realm of Sword Control, a skill only mastered by the top Mid Innate practitioners.

Not every Innate Early Stage individual can achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and not every Mid Innate can perform Sword Control. Only those Mid Innate practitioners with extraordinary comprehension, exceptionally high talent, and fortuitous opportunities can master the technique of Sword Control!

Sword Control, it was something Lin Tian yearned for, yet despite nurturing the Crescent Blade for so long, he still couldn't achieve it. But today, he was struck by Sword Control.

The sword beside Master Tang drew the gaze of everyone. It was the same length as the Green Frost Sword, with a blade material that seemed both metal and non-metal, akin to both jade and non-jade, with a faint purple glow like purple lightning.

"Purple Lightning Sword!" Situ Ming exclaimed.

The Green Frost Sword was often accompanied by Sword Servant Tang Muling, seen frequently by others, but the Purple Lightning Sword rarely appeared. No one expected it to be used by Master Tang to attack Lin Tian today.

The Xiao sisters couldn't be bothered with the Purple Lightning or Green Frost right now. The two girls hurried to Lin Tian's side, with Xiao Manxuan urgently saying, "Lin Tian, don't scare me. What happened to you?"

She wanted to support Lin Tian but was afraid of touching his wounds. Seeing his blood-dyed attire, she felt the pain as if it were her own, piercing her heart.

"I... won't die. I still need to stay alive... to spank you later." Lin Tian forced a smile, but each word drew a sharp breath, for it was a penetrating wound. Despite feeling the wound healing, the pain was all too real.

"You bastard, you can still joke at a time like this." Xiao Manxue glared fiercely at him, feeling both heartache and anger, yet utterly helpless.

Hearing Lin Tian speak calmly, Master Tang furrowed her brows. She knew more than anyone the power of the earlier attack, thinking it would at least leave Lin Tian seriously injured. Yet, it seemed this young man wasn't as severely hurt as expected, even having the leisure to flirt with the girls.

With a mental command, the originally motionless Purple Lightning Sword rose smoothly, pointing directly at Lin Tian. Seeing this posture, Situ Ming's face revealed a smug smile.

"Master Tang, please stop!" Wang Wanxi stepped forward quickly, moving to stand in front of Lin Tian, blocking Master Tang's path of attack. "Not to mention whether Master Tang ambushing a junior was right, Lin Tian is already seriously injured and has paid the price for earlier events. There's no need for Master Tang to go to such extremes!"

Upon mentioning the ambush, Master Tang's expression didn't change in the slightest. Her fortress-like mentality didn't waver at all. This was the terrifying aspect of a Mid Innate expert, doing what she wanted without being swayed by anyone, indifferent to whether it was an ambush or not, unconstrained by worldly concerns.

"Master Tang, Wanxi is right. You are a distinguished sect leader; there's no need to trouble yourself with a junior." Ling Zishan also spoke up for Lin Tian.

"A junior?" Master Tang maintained her expression, her voice cold. "Can you still say he's merely a junior when he can contend with two Innate Early Stage individuals at the same time?"

"Exactly. Look at his arrogant demeanor. Does that seem like how a junior should act? I say abolish his martial arts altogether, lest he goes astray and becomes a menace to the Ancient Martial World!" Situ Ming sneered, eager to see Lin Tian's martial arts abolished. Revenge aside, he also wanted to eliminate a future threat.

"Abolish my martial arts?" Lin Tian's voice was calm as he replied, "I'm standing right here. Let's see who dares to abolish my martial arts!"

"Xiao Tian, speak less. Leave this matter to me," Wang Wanxi exclaimed, seeing Lin Tian's blood-stained clothing, pain flashing in her eyes, yet she had to remain rational.

Lin Tian straightened his back, raised his head, ignoring the pain, softly pushed the Xiao sisters aside, and walked in front of Wang Wanxi. Facing the female leader of Qingshuang Pavilion, he said with keen eyes, "Aunt Wang, some things can be endured, but some can't. If it's unbearable, there's no need to endure. After today, I want the Ancient Martial World to remember this name: Lin Tian!"
