Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1915 - 1912: Intervention

Lin Tian deliberately didn’t use much force, but just enough to make Zhang Zhicheng feel pain, punching him repeatedly in the face.

As he beat him, Lin Tian said, "Trying to mess with Lingyu, mocking Ruyan, I’ve been waiting for the chance to openly thrash you..."

Finally, with one downward punch, Zhang Zhicheng fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Lin Tian landed, and before he could make another move, a red light shot towards him.

At the same time, the Great Elder’s voice rang out: "Enough, Zhang Zhicheng admits defeat!"

Lin Tian shifted aside, dodging the red light, and saw that it was a burning red talisman, which quickly turned to ashes on the ground. The Great Elder appeared beside Zhang Zhicheng, glaring coldly at Lin Tian.

"Is the Great Elder intervening in the match, or is he fighting on behalf of Zhang Zhicheng?" Lin Tian frowned and spoke loudly on purpose, causing the Zhang Family members, especially the older men, to look embarrassed.

The older generation of the Zhang Family were still sensible and naturally felt embarrassed about intervening, and of course, they didn’t agree with it.

The Great Elder remained unmoved and said coldly, "Young man, spare when you can, don’t speak too harshly."

"Ha..." Lin Tian let out a cold laugh, looking disdainful: "Spare when you can? When trying to use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman to cripple me, why didn’t the Great Elder step out and uphold justice, to ensure fairness?"

"But you are unharmed now, aren’t you?" The Great Elder responded coldly.

"And he’s not dead either." Lin Tian pointed at Zhang Zhicheng, refusing to back down. If you’re unreasonable, then I’ll be unreasonable too. Who can’t speak tough? Who’s afraid of who?

The Great Elder squinted at Lin Tian for a few seconds but didn’t respond further. Instead, he turned to the clan members and said, "This match is over, it’s late, everyone disperse."

After speaking, he waved his hand. Two disciples stepped forward, carrying Zhang Zhicheng away. People saw his face was already swollen, yet he kept talking tough, vowing to cripple Lin Tian.

The clan members discussed among themselves as they left the square, with the young disciples being the most lively. Many young female disciples took steps and often looked back at Lin Tian as they left; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the Zhang Family.

"Lin Tian, you’ve certainly stolen the limelight tonight." Zhang Heyuan came over, chuckling.

"More than stealing the limelight, you’ve attracted quite a few female disciples." Zhang Ruyan said meaningfully.

"Charming, rogue!" Zhang Lingyu retorted.

Lin Tian turned to the three, looking helpless: "I was just teaching Zhang Zhicheng a lesson, everything else is out of my control."

"Is stripping a lesson for Zhang Zhicheng too?" Zhang Lingyu immediately countered, looking quite annoyed with Lin Tian’s charm.

"Ahem..." Zhang Heyuan pretended to cough a few times and said earnestly, "Lingyu, disciple, can we be a bit more reserved? You’re too obvious."

"Obvious? What obvious?" Zhang Lingyu hadn’t caught on, but quickly realized, blushing, and didn’t speak further.

Zhang Heyuan shook his head, looked at Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, I have a question. How did you withstand the Heavenly Thunder Talisman attack just now?"

Not only him, but Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Ruyan were equally puzzled, although the two women knew he was a zombie. Under the power of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, he didn’t reveal his true form, so they all looked at Lin Tian, wanting to know how he resisted the attack.

Thinking a bit, Lin Tian raised his hand, letting them see the metal bracelet on his wrist. To an ordinary person, a bracelet might be just decorative, but these three weren’t ordinary. Before Lin Tian spoke, the three were already focused on the metal bracelet.

After the lightning energy refinement, the metal bracelet seemed to have subtly changed, its luster more reserved, and its patterns more antique, resembling an old metal bangle at a glance.

Zhang Heyuan’s eyes lit up, exclaiming, "I finally understand, before when you braved the thunderstorm in the maze, you always raised your hand; the secret is in this metal bracelet."

"If I’m not wrong, this bracelet is a Magic Artifact, able to absorb lightning energy?" Zhang Heyuan seriously guessed.

Magic Artifact? Lin Tian was taken aback; when did his Heavenly Tribulation Sword become a Magic Artifact? It was just a sword, similar to the Green Frost Sword in nature.

"It’s not?" Zhang Heyuan noticed Lin Tian’s odd expression and realized his guess was wrong.

"Since we’re at this point, I’ll show you its true form..." Lin Tian couldn’t explain further and instead grasped the air, summoning a giant purple sword.

The sword was purple, with exaggerated cross-guard and ancient, natural engravings. As the Heavenly Tribulation Sword appeared, the three stared at it intensely, not blinking even once.

"I didn’t expect you’d have such a peculiar weapon; it seems my Flower Vine is just decoration to you." Zhang Ruyan realized her Flower Vine couldn’t trap Lin Tian, seeing the Heavenly Tribulation Sword’s power.

"You forged Sword of the King?" Zhang Lingyu sensed it and was very surprised.

"Yes, it was a broken sword, useless to keep." Lin Tian straightforwardly admitted, having mentioned Sword of the King to her in England.

"Sword of the King?" Zhang Heyuan softly said, then was also surprised: "So she asked me for talismans to forge this sword, truly impressive, worthy of those talismans."

This time Lin Tian was surprised, asking: "The ’she’ you mentioned, is it Tang Banqing, the master?"

"Master?" Zhang Heyuan blinked, then nodded: "Yes, her Sword Casting Technique merits the title master. Some time ago, she found me, saying some materials couldn’t be smelted. I found it hard to believe; are there materials she couldn’t smelt in this world?"

"When she mentioned the material names, I believed. I just didn’t expect the sword she forged to be in your hands, haha, truly fate. The swords she forged have this ability." Zhang Heyuan laughed heartily, clearly pleased.

"As long as you don’t blame me for using it to break the Heavenly Thunder Talisman." Lin Tian also laughed, feeling a bit sorry that it embarrassed the Zhang Family.

"It’s no big deal to us, face doesn’t fill our stomachs, only the Great Elder can’t swallow his pride." Zhang Ruyan said coldly.

"Alas, my senior brother has always been obstinate, especially regarding Zhang Zhicheng, even more unreasonable. You don’t need to worry about him; he won’t trouble a junior like you." Zhang Heyuan sighed, expressing some dissatisfaction.

No trouble? Lin Tian chuckled inwardly; the look the Great Elder gave before leaving suggested otherwise. However, Lin Tian didn’t refute the old man, as he would soon leave the Zhang Family, regardless of trouble.

"Let’s end it for tonight, talk about other matters tomorrow. Oh, after leaving the square, someone will guide you to a guest room." Zhang Heyuan waved his hand, giving a reminder, then left.

Once the old man left, Lin Tian exchanged glances with the three but showed no intention to leave.
