"Having mastered the basic art of self-defense, I have never really been able to fight freely, but now, I finally get my wish," the Female Warrior spoke to herself, her face smeared with dirt, giving off a wild charm with her attire.
"Hehe, same for me, to fight a refreshing battle has always been my desire," Lin Tian put aside his distracting thoughts and chuckled.
As soon as the laughter faded, Lin Tian kicked off the ground, shooting out like a human cannonball, while the ground he stepped on exploded, sending soil flying as if a small grenade had detonated.
In mid-air, Lin Tian struck from above. While still airborne, his arm lashed down like an iron whip, aiming a blow at the head of the Female Warrior. She did not dodge, instead exhaling sharply and sinking into a horse stance; her arms shot upwards, feet positioned in the four directions, forming an arch with her hands, reminiscent of "heaven round, earth square."
With a "boom," Lin Tian’s strike, though not at full power, made a solid impact on her arms. But to Lin Tian’s surprise, it was as if she were unaffected by the force, which instead caused the ground to explode beneath her, soil splattering in all directions.
Taken aback, Lin Tian found his wrist caught in her counter-grab—not entangled but instead hoisted over her shoulder. She capitalized on Lin Tian’s forward momentum and flung him far away in a classic shoulder throw.
However, Lin Tian twisted his body strangely in mid-air, adjusting his position. Spotting a large tree nearby, he stepped on it thrice to stabilize his landing on the ground.
Not gaining any advantage left Lin Tian astonished; his aerial strike was capable of penetrating stone walls, yet she seemed unfazed. The prowess of her Ancient Martial arts was astounding, and she mentioned it was merely at a basic level; what would it be like fully mastered?
But this was good for him. After such a long time without proper exertion, his zombie body was starting to rust. This was the perfect opportunity to loosen up, and he couldn’t miss such a chance.
"Beautiful, you better be careful now, for I haven’t even used my full strength yet," Lin Tian said with a relaxed smile, launching another attack.
This time he was even faster, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian appeared in front of her, sweeping his leg toward her slender waist. Her waist, seemingly delicate and frail, now showed resilience and pliability.
The Female Warrior leaned back, and Lin Tian’s kick grazed her belly, instead snapping a nearby tree clean at the trunk. An ordinary Ancient Martial Artist would experience a decline in force after such a kick and would need to gather strength for another attack. But Lin Tian was no ordinary Ancient Martial Artist; he was an authentic zombie.
When his leg missed, it bizarrely kicked back mid-course, a maneuver the Female Warrior had not anticipated. She only managed to use her hand to block it, resulting in her body getting thrown into the air as if lost in the clouds, crashing through another tree’s trunk, and getting caught on a branch of yet another tree.
At this moment, from a distance atop a large tree, Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan stood on a thick branch, curiously watching the two fighters engage in a savage battle.
"Sister Xiao, what’s the background of your bodyguard? Why is his physical strength so formidable, even more so than that woman? And I suspect he hasn’t even gone all out yet," Zhang Lingyu asked softly, her eyes filled with amazement.
"I don’t know either, my mom hired him and only said that he was very capable. But it’s true that he can stop bullets," the little girl shook her head, having been completely unaware, even initially giving him a hard time.
