Chapter 457: Chapter 456: Caught in One Fell Swoop?

"So you are the zombie my junior sister mentioned? Come here and surrender yourself at once, and I might offer you a dignified death. As an Evil Demon, you should be grateful for my mercy," the sword-bearing senior brother said disdainfully as he pointed his sword at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian sneered, seeing clearly that this person was narrow-minded and exceedingly hypocritical. Though he was annoyed and wanted to fight, he insisted on pretending to be a righteous defender, first criticizing from a moral high ground before ultimately sentencing you to death—all to give himself a righteous excuse to strike.

This proved that he considered himself part of the righteous path, different from the Evil Demon.

Lin Tian found such people the most detestable, but he did not bother to argue loudly. Arguing with a dog about whether it should bite was akin to stooping to the level of a dog.

Lin Tian simply stated, "Your target is the people from Japan, and my target is also the Japanese. Now that there are foreigners running rampant on Huaxia soil, shouldn’t you be catching them first?"

"Hmph, I don’t need a zombie to teach me who to catch first. I think I should catch you instead," the sword-bearing senior brother retorted coldly, his eyebrows raised as he slowly stepped towards Lin Tian.

"Senior brother, you are not his match, please step back," the purple-clothed girl kindly advised, not wanting to stand by and watch him embarrass himself as his junior sister.

Her tone was reasonable, but it only made the senior brother’s expression darken further. The more reasonable she sounded, the less she seemed to believe in him, making him feel utterly humiliated.

"Captain, no need to worry, just a mere zombie. Watch me capture him for you," the senior brother loudly declared, ungratefully.

He held his sword at his chest with his left hand, and with his right hand, he formed a sword finger and slid it along the blade, which seemed to respond by flickering a few times.

"Heaven and Earth without limits, Qiankun Borrowing Technique, Fire God Decree, Earth Fire Refining Demon, grant permission!" the senior brother shouted as he pressed on the blade, pointing it towards the ground.

Where the sword tip pointed, the ground suddenly burst forth with three feet high orange-red flames. The flames surged forward under the direction of the senior brother’s finger, flowing like scorching magma, burning towards Lin Tian.

Zombies fear fire, which is common knowledge among demon exorcists. Some zombies even flee in panic at the sight of fire. Therefore, the senior brother used a fire-based technique as his first move, aiming to subdue Lin Tian in one blow and make him even more embarrassed.

However, in Lin Tian’s view, this so-called Hellfire was child’s play. Whether it was the purple-clothed girl’s Demon Slaying Golden Flames or the golden sword’s Purple Flame, they were leagues above this so-called Hellfire.

Lin Tian watched indifferently as the flames approached him. Suddenly, he stepped forward, clenched his fist, and with a bent back, he fiercely punched the ground.

With a loud ’boom,’ the ground shook violently, creating a crater, and a thick layer of soil, affected by the shockwave, pushed forward like it was being shoved by a bulldozer.

Grass, dust, and mud rolled together like a dirt dragon charging towards the flames. In front of the dirt dragon, the flames seemed like fragile sparks, easily covered by the soil and continuing to surge towards the senior brother.

The senior brother had never expected his technique to be easily countered by a zombie, causing him to roll away in panic. The dirt dragon continued forward, like waves crashing against a transparent barrier, causing ripples and purple sparks to appear again.

Thick bolts of lightning struck down, exploding on the rolling "dirt dragon" and scattering all the soil.

The "dirt dragon" was dispersed, but Lin Tian did not care, as he hadn’t intended to defeat the senior brother in one move. After all, the senior brother was a demon exorcist, and he did have some skills.

In the slight chaos, Nan Jujun and Gui Tian Guang made their move. They took advantage of Lin Tian’s counterattack to rush towards a gap in the barrier, attempting to escape.

They thought they could escape smoothly, but they had overlooked one person, the purple-clothed girl, who had yet to make a move.

"Hmph!" The purple-clothed girl snorted coldly, her eyebrows shot up, and her gaze turned icy.

She plunged her right hand to her waist, secured the whip, and with a wave of her left hand, a talisman appeared in mid-air. Then she clasped her hands together, forming seals, and chanted rapidly sotto voce.

"The way yields Yin and Yang, the Two Elements and the five phases, subdue the demon, Barrier, arise!"

The talisman instantly ignited, and the transparent barrier resonated, revealing ripples like those on water. The originally semi-circular barrier instantly expanded and closed into a loop, sealing the gap and enveloping Lin Tian, Nan Jujun, and Gui Tian Guang completely.

The barrier flickered several times, turning blue in the east, red in the south, white in the west, and black in the north. Soon after, yellow appeared in the center. Lin Tian recognized these as the colors corresponding to the five elements.

The five colors slowly merged together and finally integrated, causing the entire barrier to flash once again and turn transparent, sealing even the top.

With the enhancement provided by the purple-clothed girl, the range of the barrier had increased several times, trapping the Japanese who had not yet escaped.

Nan Jujun turned around, this time not despondent, but with a resolution of desperation. Having consumed a large quantity of Blood Angel, they were already in a frenzied state, which was only slightly alleviated by Lin Tian’s assault.

Now, with all hopes of escape extinguished, the madness brewing in their eyes grew even more intense.

"You think you two failures can manage to escape?" The exorcist brother felt slighted by the earlier ineffective attack and the counterattack. Now he diverted the topic, venting his anger on the Japanese.

It was precisely because he hadn’t heeded the advice that the Japanese had almost escaped. Now, rather than reflecting properly, the purple-clothed girl tidied up the situation, and he felt invigorated.

Fearing Lin Tian but not the exorcist brother, Nan Jujun turned and gave him a cold glance before turning back to Lin Tian and said, "Huaxia zombie, now that we are all trapped in the barrier, you are also their target. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. If we don’t join forces, we will all die here!"

Lin Tian, hearing this, chuckled, surprised that such a pervert still had some brainpower to think of forming alliances.

"Heh, Nan Jujun, I won’t cooperate with the Japanese. If you have a way, you can escape on your own," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, not taking the barrier seriously at all.

Before Nan Jujun could respond, the sword-wielding exorcist brother scoffed, "Humph, do you think by doing so, you’re showing your patriotism, zombie? Thinking that I would spare your life because of it? Ridiculous!"

Patriotic zombie? Lin Tian found his bizarre thoughts so astounding that they left him incredulous. Was this Demon Exorcist brother out of his mind?

Even the purple-clothed girl frowned at the exorcist brother, clearly dissatisfied with his pretense.

"Idiot!" Lin Tian responded to him.

"You..." The exorcist brother was so infuriated he paused, wishing to lash out at Lin Tian once more.

But he didn’t get the chance, as Nan Jujun and Gui Tian Guang, finding no help from Lin Tian, struck decisively. Taking advantage of the exorcist brother’s distraction, they attacked him.

As for the Japanese’s sneak attack, the purple-clothed girl offered no aid but instead stared intensely at Lin Tian, knowing the zombie before her posed a greater danger.
