Chapter 677: Chapter 674 A Fair Deal

Xu Feibai effortlessly eliminated the Ghost Princess, and without any hesitation, he spread his fingers. The red light had already vanished, but in the palm of his hand, something remained.

This object was moon-white in color, shaped like a crescent, with exceptionally sharp edges. It was indeed the Ghost Princess’s weapon, the Crescent Blade. The Ghost Princess had died, yet the Crescent Blade remained, a total of three pieces.

"Lin Tian, as compensation for taking the Demon Blade, I’ll give you the Crescent Blades. They’re not bad," Xu Feibai said indifferently, without a trace of shame at having plundered someone else’s belongings.

He tossed the Crescent Blades to Lin Tian, who reached out to catch them. The blades felt cool in his hands, like top-quality jade, but when struck, they made a metallic clanging sound.

"What material are these made of?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"I don’t know either, but they’re good stuff, and their sharpness is no worse than the Demon Blade’s," Xu Feibai replied.

"Did you kill the Ghost Princess just to get the Crescent Blades?" Lin Tian asked.

"Even if I hadn’t killed her, she wouldn’t have lived much longer. Half zombies have extremely short lives. She had been sealed for hundreds of years and was already unable to take over a second person. Dispersing was a matter of time. It’s a pity you’re not an Innate Middle Stage Ancient Martial Artist; otherwise, you could control the sword with True Qi, and the Crescent Blades would be able to unleash their greatest power," Xu Feibai stated plainly.

"Control the sword with True Qi?" Lin Tian was taken aback, having never heard of such an impressive realm.

The most powerful Ancient Martial Artist he had seen was Xiao Manxue’s mentor, who had only reached the Innate Early Stage. Lin Tian had not expected that reaching the Mid Innate stage would grant the ability to control swords with True Qi.

"It’s controlling swords with True Qi, but not every Innate Middle Stage Ancient Martial Artist can master this ability; it depends on talent," Xu Feibai added.

"Damn, what use are the Crescent Blades to me then, throwing them as hidden weapons? Not as good as my bare fists," Lin Tian complained dissatisfiedly.

"You don’t need to worry. When I said that Innate Mid Stage Martial Artists who can’t control the sword, I was referring to others. But you can," Xu Feibai said unhurriedly.

"I can? My situation is quite special; you wouldn’t understand," Lin Tian shook his head, for he was a zombie, not an Ancient Martial Artist, bereft of True Qi to control the sword with.

Xu Feibai remained calm with a faint smile, "Of course, I know you’re special. Don’t underestimate your own blood. As long as you drip your blood onto the Crescent Blades daily, over time, they will come under your control. Then, you’ll be able to achieve sword control without needing True Qi."

"You...," Lin Tian’s heart shook, and his eyes immediately narrowed. If he still couldn’t understand Xu Feibai’s implications, he might as well bash his head against tofu and die.

This Xu Feibai had actually realized that Lin Tian was a zombie, which was shocking for Lin Tian as this was the first time his zombie identity had been seen through without him transforming.

During the few hours he spent with the Heavenly Master Girl, despite her being a Demon Exterminating Master, she had not seen through his zombie disguise. Yet this mysterious Xu Feibai had.

What was Xu Feibai’s background? Lin Tian frowned slightly, staring at Xu Feibai’s face, hoping to discern some clues, but it was in vain; he could find no useful information on Xu Feibai’s face.

"Lin Tian, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Ning Luoxi, noticing Lin Tian’s frown and silence, thought something was amiss and asked.

"Nothing’s wrong," Lin Tian denied. He couldn’t tell Ning Luoxi about this matter; if she knew, then the Heavenly Master Girl by his side would too, and the consequence would be Lin Tian facing the girl’s pursuit every day.

"Now it’s your turn, return the body of the Half Zombie," Xu Feibai turned his head to look at the Fox Concubine and said indifferently.

Without hesitation, the Fox Concubine transformed into a red light that flew out from the right eye of the man with sunglasses, landing on the ground and turned into the enchantingly beautiful fox woman, with diaphanous gauze partially revealing a curvaceous figure, a natural embodiment of fox-like charm.

Xu Feibai, however, didn’t look at her. Instead, he walked over to the man with sunglasses and struck down with a palm towards his heart. The man, in a dazed state, was completely unaware of his imminent death. Even if he had been aware, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge Xu Feibai’s attack.

With a "bang," the man’s heart was shattered, sending him flying backward, crashing to the ground and rolling several times, ultimately dead through and through.

"Next, is it my turn to die?" The Fox Concubine rolled her eyes and asked proactively. She was smarter than the other Shishen, knowing what to say and what not to say.

"You can go. I won’t kill you," Xu Feibai said, surprisingly, against everyone’s expectations.

The Fox Concubine didn’t ask why and immediately transformed into a red light, flying swiftly toward the mountains behind her, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Could it be that you, Xu Feibai, also know how to cherish the fairer sex?" Lin Tian said teasingly on purpose.

"She’s a bit special, not supposed to die yet. With the Fox Clan’s Soul Hooking Technique, unlike other Shishen, she should be able to survive, provided nothing unexpected happens," Xu Feibai replied, ignoring Lin Tian’s teasing and spoke bluntly as usual.

"I’m leaving. But before I go, I want to let you and the Demon Blade say farewell. You two are also fated," Xu Feibai said finally, and after speaking, closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze had changed.

"Broken Blade, is that you?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled.

"It’s me. Seems like I just got out of the wolf’s den and am about to enter a tiger’s lair," the Demon Blade said with a tinge of dejection.

"You can’t control him?" Lin Tian asked, referring to Xu Feibai.

The Demon Blade, controlling Xu Feibai, shook his head: "I can’t. He’s too strong. Right now, I can talk only because he voluntarily ceded control, and it’s only temporary."

"Xu Feibai is so strong, accepting him as your master wouldn’t disgrace your name as the Demon Blade," Lin Tian said in surprise, as he had thought the Demon Blade only recognized the strong as its master.

"He’s so strong, he doesn’t need me at all. Well, this is goodbye." The Demon Blade’s mood didn’t seem too high, but after pausing, it suddenly remarked, "Kid, I can feel it. You’re not ordinary either. You harbor too many secrets inside you, with limitless potential. One day you will surpass Xu Feibai and become a mighty figure dominating your domain. Remember to come and rescue me then."

"I think so too. One day, I will defeat Xu Feibai," Lin Tian said, rare seriousness in his voice.

The Demon Blade was about to speak again, but its gaze flickered and Xu Feibai took back control.

"Xu Feibai, you take the Demon Blade, take away Oda Manaka, and leave the Crescent Blade as an exchange, this deal is too unfair for me," Lin Tian said attempting to bargain at the end, trying to get the most out of Xu Feibai, never one to make a losing deal.

"In that case, the Shrine was originally the territory of the Yin-Yang Dao, later occupied by Guizhong Yilang. I was planning to empty the Shrine of all its resources. Since you think the deal isn’t fair, the Shrine is yours. Whatever is inside, I don’t know, I hope you’re lucky enough to find something valuable," Xu Feibai said very straightforwardly, and it didn’t seem like he was joking, he simply handed over the Shrine to Lin Tian.
