Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1910 - 1907: You’re Not Going to Make Me Pay, Right?

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, the Great Elder was stunned for a moment and then subconsciously nodded: "In a competition, it’s inevitable for both parties to get hurt, let alone losing items. Young man, feel free to display your skills, no need to pay for any damage."

"Still concerned about breaking things at this time? Must have a screw loose." Zhang Zhicheng’s companions mocked him recklessly.

"I don’t think he’s got a screw loose; he must have been knocked stupid by Brother Zhicheng." Another companion joined in the ridicule.

"What’s he trying to do?" Other disciples were puzzled.

"This is bad..." Zhang Lingyu’s mind flashed back to Lin Tian’s violent scene at the Shrine and couldn’t help blurting out.

Zhang Ruyan was a bit puzzled: "What’s bad..."

Just as the words fell, Lin Tian had already clenched both fists and then smashed heavily, not at people, but at the ground.

"Meteor Burst!"

The fists truly burned with a red glow like meteorites, not purple flames, but an anomaly created by the fierce pressure and friction between the fists and the air.

"Boom..."

Time and space seemed to freeze for an instant, followed by a visible energy wave erupting from the point of contact, impacting outward. Where the energy wave passed, the bluestone shattered, shattered into pieces, not just broken.

The miniature flower vines, as fragile as tofu, collapsed at the mere touch, instantly reduced to nothingness by the energy wave. The ground began to shake and crack, several fissures starting from Lin Tian, rapidly spreading outward.

The Zhang Family members were first stunned, then shrill screams and cries of escape from the female disciples rang out.

"Back off, quickly back off..."

"Still stunned there, why not run..."

This time, it wasn’t the young disciples speaking, but those old men and middle-aged Demon Exorcists, who nearly shouted themselves hoarse, driving people around to back off. The entire square was extremely chaotic, as if the young disciples were fleeing from disaster.

Zhang Ruyan, watching the scene before her, eyes wide open, momentarily forgot to move to dodge. Zhang Lingyu quickly pulled her: "Let’s go..." The two ladies were among the last of the young disciples to retreat but were the fastest to do so.

Some people, although they withdrew from the danger zone, were still blown off balance by the fierce waves.

As the square quieted down, dust settled, people caught their breaths slightly, but upon seeing the square’s condition clearly, everyone was dumbfounded.

More than half the square’s bluestones were pulverized into gravel, more shocking were the several earth fissures running through the entire square, extending to the nearby walls. One of the walls was half collapsed, faintly revealing the distant Baihua Pool.

The east wing room was penetrated by a fissure, with the wall cracked, the building shakily about to collapse. What pained the old men the most was that the most important main hall, even the ground in front of the main entrance had cracked, a pillar burst open, seemingly about to fall at any moment.

The entire square was silent, no one spoke, suddenly a pungent urine smell wafted through the square.

People turned to look, only to find it was one of Zhang Zhicheng’s companions, who had mocked Lin Tian earlier, now with a fissure between his legs; if it opened a bit further, it would catch his eggs.

His pants were soaked, with the wet area still spreading downwards, clearly frightened into wetting himself, the ground soaked with his urine.

The companion came to his senses, then realized his predicament, everyone was watching him, everyone’s eyes were filled with disdain, including his own companions.

He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, then noticed there indeed was a crack below his feet, but looking at it, he lacked the courage to dive in, had to cover his head and scurry away from the square.

The Great Elder watched the disciple fleeing in embarrassment, his face turning green with anger, then turning back to the shattered square, walls, wing rooms, and the main hall entrance, his face went from green to black.

He suddenly wanted to slap his own face, why did he agree to Lin Tian earlier, truly regretting it, the Zhang Family’s main hall square had never suffered such a calamity, passed down for hundreds of years, this was a first!

"Fortunately, the wing room and main entrance only cracked, didn’t collapse..." The middle-aged man who flattered the Great Elder earlier said with relief.

Bang...

Before the words finished, the wing room suddenly collapsed, a cloud of dust rising, now it was the middle-aged man’s turn to turn green.

"Oh..." The Great Elder shook his head, sighed: "Collapsed then collapsed, just as well to rebuild, as long as the main hall is fine."

"Yes, yes, it’s been so long, it should be replaced." Several people also comforted themselves thusly.

Crack crack...

Again, a few unusual sounds, the Zhang Family was hypersensitive, everyone immediately looked towards the source, only to see the crack on the pillar continuously spreading, the cracking sound hammering at every Zhang Family member’s heart.

Blam! A sharp sound, like a connection breaking, the wooden pillar in everyone’s sight quickly toppled, hitting the adjacent pillar.

The adjacent pillar instantly fell, half the eaves immediately collapsed, shingles clattering down, shattered all over the ground, simultaneously shattering the old men’s hearts.

The Great Elder’s heart was bleeding, wanted to kill Lin Tian, but he couldn’t say, couldn’t scold, for he was so generous earlier.

The only solace for the old men was the main entrance’s plaque hadn’t fallen, for this was personally written by the ancestor. But this time no one spoke words of relief, they dared not say, since earlier whatever they said was followed by more collapse, who dared be that scapegoat.

"Lingyu girl, so what you said earlier about ’bad’ meant this, I didn’t expect Lin Tian’s power to be so fierce!" Zhang Ruyan surveyed the shattered house, the embarrassed clansmen, rather than sympathy, she praised Lin Tian.

"He’s always been this violent." Zhang Lingyu was quite helpless, simultaneously worried Lin Tian might expose his zombie identity while using such power.

Zhang Ruyan seemed to see through her worry, smiled slightly: "Girl, no need to worry, if I’m not mistaken, he used the Ning Family’s Meteor Burst technique earlier. Those old men would guess his relationship with the Ning Family, they won’t suspect his identity."

Upon hearing Zhang Ruyan’s words, the beautiful Heavenly Master finally breathed a sigh of relief. With her intelligence, she should have thought of this, only with concern comes confusion, momentarily failing to grasp it.

At this time, the Great Elder was extremely embarrassed, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something: "Lin Tian, umm..."

Lin Tian spoke first: "Great Elder, you couldn’t want me to pay, could you?" He pointed at the surrounding ruins.

The Great Elder’s facial muscles twitched, truly embarrassing, but after all, he was the Great Elder, he couldn’t go back on his words, had to follow Lin Tian’s words: "How could a young man say such a thing, words spoken cannot be retracted, this loss, the Zhang Family can afford."

A millennial family, the Zhang Family can indeed afford it, only it’s not nice to speak of it. The Great Elder secretly gestured to an elder beside him, that elder understood, stood out and said to Lin Tian: "This matter, would ask the young man not to mention it to outsiders."
