Chapter 672: Chapter 669: Trump Card

As soon as the Sword Energy Cross was unleashed, with Lin Tian as the starting point, countless blade shadows suddenly appeared, interweaving with one another to form a dense net of blades.

The black-robed figure pierced by the Demon Blade, at the moment the net of blades materialized, found his body instantly sliced to pieces, as if numerous blades had explosively emerged from within, completely shattering him from inside out, tinting the ground with black blood.

This one died even more miserably than the first; while the first only had half of his body blown away by Lin Tian’s punch, this one was completely shattered.

To avoid getting any of the disgusting black blood on himself, Lin Tian tapped the ground with the blade and flipped through the air, landing far away, conveniently dodging the attacks of the other two black-robed figures.

The remaining two black-robed figures were indifferent to the death of their comrade, loyally carrying out the order to kill Lin Tian, or perhaps these living dead had no human emotions at all, unaffected even by the tragic death of their colleague.

Lin Tian landed on a high boulder outside the stone steps and saw a mass of gray spiritual energy being absorbed into the Demon Blade, this cluster of spiritual energy was larger than any Shishen’s before it.

As expected, half of the spiritual energy was seized by the force of fire. Although it was only half, it was still far greater than the Fierce Bear’s. Having absorbed this mass of spiritual energy, Lin Tian felt the Upper Elixir Field at his forehead grow fuller.

"Lin Tian!" Li Yue suddenly called out to him, loudly complaining, "Can’t you be a little cleaner in your actions? You’ve turned this place into something straight out of hell—terrifying!"

Lin Tian glanced at the ground, which indeed resembled hell, scattered with pieces of living dead and black blood.

Before Lin Tian could respond, the Demon Blade interjected, "Girl, you’re scared already? Haven’t been to a battlefield, have you? A battlefield is the real meat grinder where it’s truly a sight of bodies strewn everywhere, too horrendous to behold!"

"I... I’m not scared, you lousy blade, thinking you’re so arrogant just because you’ve been in battles!" Li Yue retorted with a glare, though her confidence was not as strong.

"Lousy blade, how many years old are you, an old monster, to be picking on a little girl, aren’t you ashamed?" Lin Tian criticized disdainfully.

He initially intended to stand up for Li Yue, but the girl, hands on her hips, glared back at Lin Tian and said, "Who’s the little girl? I’m a year older than you, you should be calling me Sister Yue, got it? Show some respect for your elders."

On reevaluating his previous words more carefully, suddenly it dawned on him, the term "Sister Li" was problematic, as it was intended to tease the girl Li Yue, but inadvertently included the other two women as well.

Li Qingyun could be called Sister Li, and Oda Manaka, whose Chinese name was Li Zhenyang, could also be called Sister Li. With one slip of the tongue, he had flirted with three women. Lin Tian inwardly cursed himself for being shameless, yet couldn’t help but admire his own wit.

Li Qingyun and Oda Manaka would have simply ignored Lin Tian’s remark, at most causing a little annoyance for the girl Li Yue.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Blade praised him out of nowhere, "Kid, you’re truly shameless. You’ve got the flair of me, flirting with three beautiful ladies in one go!"

Flirt with your uncle, that’s something one should only think about, not say aloud! If the Demon Blade had a face, Lin Tian really wanted to slap it, what a fool!

As expected, all three women shot him malicious looks, and Lin Tian felt that if the gazes of the three could be compared to Ancient Martial techniques, these six gazes had reached the level of Sword Energy Cross, seeming to want to tear him apart.

"Ah, the moon is so round tonight," Lin Tian remarked, looking up at the sky on purpose, but the moon overhead wasn’t full at all!

He didn’t have time to feel embarrassed when two shadows swooped down from above, both clad in black robes and wielding iron staffs—it was the last two black-robed figures, launching a sneak attack while Lin Tian was distracted.

Lin Tian felt that the reanimated corpses definitely lacked the concept of a stealth attack. Without a doubt, it must have been Guizhong Yilang who, through a Secret Language Spell or some other Taoist technique, secretly issued a stealth attack order to his Shishen.

Since the Heavenly Master Girl could use the Secret Language Spell, Guizhong Yilang would surely be capable of similar Taoist magic. After all, the Black Robed Man was his Shishen.

"Boom..."

Two iron staffs, carrying the force of thousands of pounds, smashed into the ground where Lin Tian had stood. The two-meter-high rock beneath his feet instantly burst open, as if hit by an RPG rocket, and shattered to pieces.

For a moment, debris flew everywhere, dust filled the sky, and the extent of the dust cloud enveloped the entire vicinity, hiding Lin Tian and the two Black Robed Men from view.

Li Yue’s face still wore an expression of anger, but with the sudden turn of events, her anger was suddenly replaced by shock. The target of her anger, Lin Tian, the great lecher, seemed to have been obliterated by the Black Robed Men.

She immediately glared furiously at Guizhong Yilang, angrily shouting, "It must have been you who let the Shishen launch a stealth attack, despicable and shameless!"

Guizhong Yilang smiled indifferently and replied, "Thank you for the compliment. It was indeed my order to launch the stealth attack. Who asked him to flirt in the middle of battle? There’s an old saying in Huaxia, ’A guillotine above the head when lust controls,’ isn’t that describing him?"

Li Yue was flustered and speechless, unable to retort. After all, wasn’t she the very person Lin Tian had been flirting with just now?

As the dust gradually settled, a blurry figure emerged from within it, slowly becoming clear, and it was none other than Lin Tian.

He walked out of the cloud of dust, his right hand gripping the long Demon Blade. Black blood slid down the blade, dripping drop by drop onto the ground.

In his left hand, he held two round objects—they were two human heads, the heads of the two Black Robed Men!

The pale moonlight pierced through the haze and shrouded Lin Tian, who at that moment appeared like a Demon God who had walked out of antiquity, striking fear into the hearts of all present.

"You... you killed my Shishen?" Guizhong Yilang asked in disbelief.

Lin Tian tossed down the heads of the reanimated corpses and said coldly, "The fact is quite clear. Do you have any more? Release all your other Shishen. Otherwise, you’re next."

Just now, Lin Tian had narrowly avoided the onslaught from the two Black Robed Men and promptly decided the battle swiftly. Leveraging his speed, strength, and the sharpness of the Demon Blade, he severed the heads of the two reanimated corpses that were as formidable as Copper Armor Corpses.

The Demon Blade Muramasa’s reputation was indeed unreliable; the Bai Hui acupoint was not a weakness at all—it was the neck that was the reanimated corpse’s weak point. It seemed that whether in life or death, severing the neck ensured certain demise.

"My turn? Hahaha..." Guizhong Yilang laughed heartily, then said coldly, "I’ve been in the Shrine for over twenty years, do you think I don’t have a trump card? Never underestimate an Onmyoji. Even without Shishen, he is not weak!"

"I’ll kill you first..." Lin Tian didn’t care about his trump card and stormed forward with quick steps, lunging at Guizhong Yilang’s chest with a stab of his Demon Blade.

Guizhong Yilang shockingly did not dodge, allowing Lin Tian’s Demon Blade to pass right through his chest!
