609: Chapter 605: Terrifying Zombies…
Long Wenshan, without a head and his body exploding, looked just like a fierce ghost from the underworld.
Ye Tian had never encountered such a challenging opponent since he had become famous!
Everything before him had exceeded his own understanding; Ye Tian did not know what kind of force was driving Long Wenshan to attack him.
But as the king of the night, there was no word for ‘retreat’ in Ye Tian’s dictionary.
He clenched his fists, channeling all his strength into them.
Long Wenshan pounced at Ye Tian once more, raising his right arm and striking fiercely at Ye Tian’s chest!
“Good timing!”
Ye Tian roared, his right fist striking out like a cannonball meeting Long Wenshan’s right arm head-on.
“Boom~~~~~”
Their fists collided, the sound thunderous.
After all, Ye Tian had used all his strength, and with Long Wenshan’s power, he was utterly no match.
One right arm was caught in the midst of Ye Tian’s fierce punch, as if it had been put through a meat grinder, and it was instantly shredded to pieces.
Not just the right arm, but even Long Wenshan’s entire shoulder and the right side of his chest were also torn apart by the force of Ye Tian’s punch.
Long Wenshan’s body, too, was flung back more than ten meters by the rebounding force of the punch, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.
A wall immediately collapsed, burying Long Wenshan within…
Such a strike should have been enough to defeat Long Wenshan, right?
Ye Tian also let out a long breath, he ceased using his power and slowly approached Zhu Rou.
“Ah Rou, are you alright?”
Ye Tian asked with concern; Zhu Rou, already terrified by the monstrous battle between Ye Tian and Long Wenshan, was pale, trembling all over until Ye Tian approached her, which brought some relief to her heart.
“I, I … ”
But Zhu Rou’s mouth hung open, unable to utter a complete sentence, leaving Ye Tian feeling extremely sympathetic.
“It’s alright, with me here, no one can bully you!”
Saying this, Ye Tian embraced Zhu Rou tightly.
“…”
Although Zhu Rou was too scared to speak, nestled in Ye Tian’s arms, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
As long as Ye Tian was there to protect her, no matter how strong or formidable the enemy, she would not be afraid!
“Let’s go!”
Ye Tian said softly, wanting to take Zhu Rou away from this place of conflict, but suddenly, a panicked look appeared in Zhu Rou’s eyes.
“He he he he he….”
Zhu Rou faltered, her slender finger trembling as she pointed toward the direction where Long Wenshan had fallen!
Without turning his head, Ye Tian could distinctly feel the chills down his spine!
This was not a murderous aura, because the dead don’t bear animosity, but a cold, ominous force was coming through.
Turning around, Ye Tian saw that only half of Long Wenshan’s body remained, yet he was still able to walk toward him.
He wanted to kill him!
“Ah Rou, step back further!”
The opponent before him could not be judged by common sense, so Ye Tian could not deal with Long Wenshan in an ordinary way.
Ye Tian pulled out the wooden sword he carried with him, made from the core of a millennium ancient tree, the Life Weapon, Ye Tian’s most powerful move!
After drawing the wooden sword, Ye Tian’s body also absorbed the energy from the sword, and his entire body began to crackle with electricity.
Zhu Rou was stunned by this show of tremendous power; she couldn’t even look directly at it because it was too dazzling!
Forced to close her eyes, Zhu Rou nevertheless found herself pressed to move backward by the incessant force emanating from within Ye Tian…
Of course, no matter how powerful the force Ye Tian was using, the current Long Wenshan could not feel it.
Long Wenshan advanced one step at a time toward Ye Tian like a mass of writhing flesh.
“This time, let’s see how you will deal with me!”
Ye Tian’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he swung the wooden sword at Long Wenshan.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~”
A fierce wind suddenly arose, whistling through the alleyway.
The wind was nearly as powerful as a tornado, and Zhu Rou, with tightly closed eyes, desperately clung to a nearby telephone pole to prevent being blown away!
This wind was Ye Tian’s favorite move, “Overspeed Blade,” under which even a paramount fighter like the Rakshasa Queen had fallen.
Long Wenshan could naturally not withstand Ye Tian’s “Overspeed Blade”!
A few seconds later, Ye Tian stopped swinging the sword, and the wind ceased…
Ye Tian put the wooden sword away, and the energy borrowed from the sword all returned into it.
Long Wenshan was still standing but motionless, as if frozen in time.
Zhu Rou cautiously opened her eyes, and the situation before her looked very strange.
Several seconds had passed when Long Wenshan’s bloodied body suddenly cracked open, much like parched sand that couldn’t maintain its shape.
“Caw caw…
caw caw…”
Before long, Long Wenshan’s body had turned into a lump of minced meat!
“Ah!”
Zhu Rou screamed again, having seen someone chopped into minced meat for the first time in her life; the sight gave her an unprecedented visual shock!
Zhu Rou felt a darkness before her eyes, and she fainted.
“Rou!”
Ye Tian spurred his horse to catch up, grasping Zhu Rou in his arms, and carried her away from the alley.
Before leaving, Ye Tian couldn’t help but look back at Long Wenshan’s minced meat; the meat could still move, but just as minced meat, it was utterly unable to attack him further.
So, after a slight wriggle, the minced meat stopped moving!
It was probably because the person controlling Long Wenshan had given up…
After Ye Tian took Zhu Rou out of the alley, walking on the highway, a burst of cold wind helped Zhu Rou gradually regain consciousness.
“Ye Tian…”
When Zhu Rou woke up, the first person she saw was Ye Tian.
Her heart felt less afraid, yet she dared not leave Ye Tian’s embrace because without his arms around her, she felt an incredible fear!
Ye Tian silently watched Zhu Rou without speaking.
This time, the female journalist must have been terrified!
But Ye Tian was helpless.
If he had known he would encounter such a situation today, he probably wouldn’t have taken Zhu Rou into the alley but would have pursued the purse thief alone.
The two walked a little longer before Zhu Rou regained her senses.
She stared at Ye Tian blankly…
“Ye Tian, who were those people just now?”
Zhu Rou asked tremblingly; no matter how one looked at it, that person just now was not normal, and might not even be human!
“I don’t know either,” Ye Tian sighed.
Even with his extensive connections, there was still so much in this world he was unaware of.
“But Rou, I must remind you, investigating the criminal evidence against Xue Yunfu is too dangerous and not suitable for a female journalist like you.
You should give it up!”
Ye Tian advised her.
His original goal was to get the Peach Wood Sword unearthed from the tomb, but he hadn’t expected it to cause so many problems.
And these problems had become very tricky, seeming to go beyond his control!
“Hmm…”
Zhu Rou nodded softly.
The events surrounding Xue Yunfu involved not only danger but also bizarre occurrences.
So, for her own safety, Zhu Rou could only give up continuing to investigate Xue Yunfu…
“Ye Tian, I’m so scared!”
Zhu Rou said softly, her eyes devoid of any sparkle.
Eyes don’t lie, and Ye Tian knew that today’s events, being so bloody and terrifying, were too much for a young woman.
Unlike himself, who lived on the edge of the knife, Zhu Rou was just an ordinary woman, how could she withstand such a shock?
If she didn’t rest well, Zhu Rou was likely to have nightmares tonight!
“Ye Tian, hold me tight!”
As night fell and the street lights on the road illuminated, Zhu Rou felt increasingly scared; she trembled uncontrollably, and only Ye Tian could warm her.
“Rou, don’t be scared!”
Ye Tian followed Zhu Rou’s wish and held her tightly in his arms.
At that moment, Ye Tian noticed her body had grown cold as if it lacked any warmth.
“Don’t be scared!
Don’t be scared!”
Ye Tian hugged her a bit tighter, and Zhu Rou’s body gradually warmed up, Ye Tian holding her hand and continuously caressing it.
Not just by rubbing for warmth, Ye Tian also infused some of his strength into Zhu Rou’s body to make her feel more comfortable…
“Are you feeling better?”
Ye Tian asked with concern, and Zhu Rou nodded.
“Yes, much better…”
Although she said that, Ye Tian could clearly see the frightened expression on Zhu Rou’s face; she was far from “much better!”
Originally, Ye Tian intended to head straight home, but because Zhu Rou was still frightened, he couldn’t leave her alone, so he slowly escorted Zhu Rou home.
Fortunately, with Ye Tian’s company, Zhu Rou’s body gradually stopped trembling, which greatly relieved Ye Tian.
After a while, they finally arrived at Zhu Rou’s doorstep, and Ye Tian waved goodbye to her.
“Rou, you’re home, go inside!”
Ye Tian was about to turn and leave, but Zhu Rou grabbed his clothes.
“Ye Tian, I’m still a bit scared…”
Zhu Rou’s words were sincere, as it was genuine fear that made her hold onto Ye Tian.
Ye Tian chuckled bitterly; even if Zhu Rou was scared, he couldn’t stay and spend the night with her!
Today’s events were so strange, and Ye Tian was eager to hurry back and start investigating!
