Chapter 638: Chapter 635: Seven Star Soul-locking Formation

Self-detonate? Lin Tian had almost forgotten about that, having once fought with a half zombie and experienced the destructive power of its self-detonation, comparable to a high-power bomb.

That was just one or two self-detonating, but if eighty-five half zombies detonated, the scene would be spectacular. Whether the mountaintop would be leveled was unclear to Lin Tian, but almost no one present would survive, not even an Ancient Body Technique Practitioner like Ning Luoxi.

Lin Tian didn’t even know if he could withstand this wave of self-detonations; zombies weren’t unkillable, exceeding their limits would still result in death. The usual saying that zombies were immortal applied only in natural, accident-free situations.

Just now, he had intended to subdue or kill Oda Manaka using the method of swift thunder, but she had seen through his intentions. Such people who don’t die of old age become masters at deducing human thoughts.

Lin Tian was also grateful he hadn’t acted, otherwise everyone here would be dead now, including those three female demons.

"Lin Tian, you take them all away, I am willing to stay behind," Li Qingyun said calmly, looking at Lin Tian.

Although Ning Luoxi was the commander here, she had an intuition that if anyone could safely lead everyone away, it was only Lin Tian—an intuition of a woman, and of a Gu Girl.

Her intuition wasn’t wrong, but she had miscalculated Lin Tian’s temperament. Doing so was indeed looking after the bigger picture, but Lin Tian had always treated the so-called bigger picture with disdain.

Moreover, he hated sacrificing certain individuals for the so-called bigger picture, believing no one’s life was more important than that of friends and family in his eyes.

"Granny Li, those who come together should leave together; either we live together or die together. Asking me to abandon any friend, I simply cannot do it," Lin Tian said decisively.

The women fell silent; in their respective positions, they had heard too many superior leaders speak about the bigger picture; they understood the logic.

They knew that what Lin Tian was doing wasn’t good, that it would put more people in danger, yet they found Lin Tian at that moment incredibly masculine.

"You are being too selfish," Li Qingyun said provocatively, hoping to change Lin Tian’s mind. She also knew that with Lin Tian’s speed, committing suicide was nearly impossible; the only way was to provoke him to leave.

"I know what would happen to you if you stayed behind; a quick death would be merciful, but Oda Manaka will definitely not let you die easily. She will torture you until she is completely satisfied, and that is worse than death," Lin Tian said.

"Therefore, I will not let you stay behind alone. If this is selfishness, then let me be utterly selfish. If this is a sin, then let me descend to the Eighteen Layers of Hell after I die!" Lin Tian stated calmly, without fervor.

Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl didn’t object, tacitly agreeing to Lin Tian’s words.

Li Qingyun, looking at Lin Tian’s youthful and handsome face, her eyes trembled and finally, she could only sigh and say, "Why bother."

"Lin Tian, thank you," Li Yue said earnestly as she gazed at Lin Tian.

Li Qingyun was her closest relative; Li Yue had followed Li Qingyun since she was a child, her feelings even deeper than those for her parents. In that moment earlier, she felt so powerless, fearing that others would retreat and leave her grandmother behind.

But Lin Tian’s words suddenly made her feel safe; she suddenly found this big pervert to also have his charms, though she felt a bit guilty, knowing the risks involved.

"Little Yue’er, if you want to thank me, how about you offer yourself in return?" Lin Tian, seeing the tension in the air and disliking that kind of atmosphere, joked on purpose.

"Big pervert, no way I’m doing that," Li Yue retorted coyly.

In the past, had she heard such a remark, she would have been furious right away, ready to give Lin Tian a piece of her mind, but at that moment, even though she called him a big pervert, her heart felt sweet.

The other women also rolled their eyes at him in unison, thinking that even at such a time, he still felt like joking. However, they felt that as long as Lin Tian was there, even the gravest dangers didn’t seem like marching to their deaths; death seemed just a minor issue.

Even the cunning and shrewd Fox Concubine, who thought she had seen through humans and their hearts, now found that among humans there was such an exception, who seemed quite likable. Oda Manaka’s gaze flickered, and she delayed making her move, uncertain of what she was thinking.

While the women harbored their own thoughts, Lin Tian was contemplating whether to reveal his zombie identity or not. Transforming into a zombie would significantly enhance his abilities, and naturally, his speed and strength would increase exponentially.

When the time came, depending on his speed, Lin Tian could carry one on his shoulder and hold two more in one arm, making sure he got them out of there. Once they were out, he could come back and slowly deal with Oda Manaka, settling the score for good.

Whether or not he would be hunted down by the Heavenly Master Girl after revealing his zombie identity was not a concern for Lin Tian at that moment.

"Lin Tian, it’s me. Don’t turn around when you hear my voice,"

Just as he was about to make a decision, a faint voice suddenly reached his ear; it was the Heavenly Master Girl speaking. He almost turned around but forcefully stopped himself, knowing the Heavenly Master Girl must have her reasons for doing so and awaited her further instructions.

"I’m using the Secret Language Spell to communicate with you. You are the only one who can hear it."

The voice of the Heavenly Master Girl continued, and although Lin Tian wasn’t familiar with the ’Secret Language Spell’, it seemed almost like making a phone call to him.

If the Heavenly Master Girl knew that her powerful Secret Language Spell was being likened to a phone call by Lin Tian, she might explode in anger and beat him up.

But she didn’t know, so she continued to transmit her message: "Last time I encountered these half zombies self-destructing, so I went through our family’s heritage books to find a way to counteract it."

"Eventually, I found it. To counteract the self-destruction, there are several methods, but there’s only one method that can handle so many half zombies at once, and that is the Seven Star Soul-locking Formation."

"The Seven Star Soul-locking Formation evolved from the Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation; it is arranged according to the positions of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, setting up the Tanlang Star, Ju Men Star, Lu Cun Star, Wenqu Star, Lianzhen Star, Mars, and Po Jun Star as the formation points."

"I’ll tell you the layout of the arrangement, because I’m not fast enough, I need you to help set the formation using your speed. Remember, the Tanlang Star should be placed within the range of the Japanese area, Po Jun needs to be in the current position of the moon, and the rest should be arranged according to the Seven Stars,"

"Once the Seven Star Soul-locking Formation is set up, I’ll immediately recite the spell to activate the formation, drawing the power of the Seven Stars to converge on the Tanlang Star, to temporarily control their thought of self-destructing. I can only prevent them from exploding, other behaviors I can’t control."

"The formation point papers of the Seven Star Soul-locking Formation are placed behind my waist. Once you are ready, move as fast as you can to me to fetch the papers, then rush to where the half zombies are and stick the papers on the ground as I just instructed you, and leave the rest to me. If you understand, give a flick of your finger," the Heavenly Master Girl concluded her transmission.
