Xiao Manxue struck Lin Tian’s Dan Zhong acupoint and felt a surge of joy—her specialty was swordsmanship with sharp attacks, and this strike could temporarily disperse the True Qi within Lin Tian’s body. Once he lost his combat ability, she could properly teach this lawless bodyguard a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tian was unscathed; he grasped Xiao Manxue’s shoulder and, sliding down, seized her wrist. Xiao Manxue tried to retract her hand that had targeted the Dan Zhong acupoint but Lin Tian caught it as well.
No matter how she circulated the True Qi in her body, she couldn’t break free from Lin Tian’s control. In fact, Lin Tian had also used a lot of strength to control her hands—this woman’s strength was surprisingly great, at least several times more than Uncle Zhao’s. It was unclear what level she had reached.
After securing her hands, Lin Tian thought she would quiet down, but then she kneed straight toward his groin. Lin Tian was greatly startled by this; was this woman insane? The force of her knee was wildly fierce. When an Ancient Martial Artist like her used this wolf-fending move, the power was immense; typically, an Ancient Martial Artist struck by it would be utterly devastated and thereafter, impotent.
Although he knew he could withstand it, Lin Tian still felt a chilling sensation down there; he also lifted his leg to block.
With a "bang," their legs collided fiercely, followed by several "hiss" sounds; the force of the impact shredded their trouser legs into tatters. Long, fair legs were exposed in front of Lin Tian; he was momentarily dazzled by Xiao Manxue’s pale skin.
Xiao Manxue was also stunned by the unexpected situation. Seizing the moment she was distracted, Lin Tian used force with both hands, twisted her arms behind her back, and locked them; then, with a push, he shoved her against the wall.
"You bastard, let go of me!" Xiao Manxue shouted as Lin Tian pressed her tightly against the wall, her hands locked behind her back. No matter how she circulated her True Qi, she could not shake Lin Tian in the slightest.
Lin Tian was again inwardly amazed; this woman’s strength was enormous, almost as if she could lift a mythical dragon by hand.
But this reverse hand-lock technique seemed very familiar. Suddenly, Lin Tian felt a sense of déjà vu, then remembered that he had used the same move when disciplining the Second Miss initially. This made Lin Tian feel somewhat embarrassed; using the same technique on two sisters.
"Lin Tian, you’re a bastard—and if you don’t release me, I’ll fight you to the death!" Xiao Manxue, noticing Lin Tian was zoning out, felt embarrassed and angry, and she struggled even more fiercely.
Lin Tian suddenly felt as though he was riding a wild horse. Beneath his struggle, it was as if the wild horse turned into a dragon, fiercely unstoppable.
This couldn’t go on; Lin Tian now found himself in a difficult situation, as if he was stuck with only a fearsome tigress. He thought of Zhang Lingyu hiding under the bed covers and worried about whether her wounds might worsen, feeling anxious.
Growing anxious, Lin Tian could no longer care so much. He freed one hand and harshly slapped Xiao Manxue’s buttocks. Since he had already spanked her sister’s buttocks, slapping this elder sister’s didn’t seem so troublesome.
With a crisp slap, Xiao Manxue screamed, "Ah!" Lin Tian was also startled; he really had gone too far. After all, she was his employer.
Well, employer or not, he couldn’t let her get away with everything. A bodyguard is human too, with human rights—maybe a spanking would do some good, Lin Tian thought, quite justifiably.
"You bastard, I’ll kill you—we’ll die together!" Xiao Manxue was somewhat out of her senses, one moment threatening to kill, the next wanting to perish together.
She gathered all her True Qi at her fingertips, which surprisingly emitted blue sword light, and then forcefully slashed at Lin Tian’s hand.
Sudden intense pain shot through him; Lin Tian’s hand was cut. He lifted his hand to see that his palm was wounded. Several shocking cuts crossed his entire palm, muscles turned outward, strangely with no blood flowing out.
This was the second time Lin Tian had been injured since becoming a zombie; previously, it was by a Demon Exorcism Girl, and now by an Ancient Martial Artist. The wounds on his hand writhed and soon healed. Lin Tian felt that this time the wounds healed much faster, without the strange force that had previously suppressed the healing.
Xiao Manxue had not seen this scene; her True Qi seemed to have been overly used and was gradually declining. It would require recuperation to recover.
"Miss, you forced my hand!" Lin Tian clenched his teeth and struck down hard again, this time with more force.
Now, as her True Qi was waning, she couldn’t muster much to resist, so with this heavy blow, Xiao Manxue felt an excruciating pain—Lin Tian truly had no mercy for the fairer sex.
Under her humiliation and anger, her face quickly flushed with redness. To Lin Tian, it seemed like he became addicted to hitting, raising his hand and striking her hard several more times.
"You... you’ll regret this, I... I won’t let you off!" Xiao Manxue gritted her teeth in pain and numbness. Her face turned red, whether from rage or for some other reason.
Lin Tian looked over. The Miss’s blushing face was quite attractive. Of course, it would be better if her personality were a bit gentler. Otherwise, with such a temper, no matter how lovely she was, Lin Tian had no intention of pursuing her; that sort of temper was unbearable.
Both born to the same mother, Xiao Manxuan might be a bit spoiled but was still within bearable limits, but this elder sister was totally outrageous. She would always scream about fighting and even resorted to using Sword Qi.
Mrs. Xiao was such a reasonable person; why hadn’t the Miss inherited any of that? Lin Tian wondered internally.
"Sister, Lin Tian, what are you doing?" A clear voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, startling both of them.
Lin Tian turned his head to see that it was Xiao Manxuan, the little girl, looking curiously at the two of them huddled together.
"Why did you come down here?" Lin Tian quickly let go of the Miss. Losing restraint, Xiao Manxue’s legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground, having to support herself against the wall.
"I saw Sister hadn’t come up for so long and heard noises, so I was afraid you were fighting and came down," Xiao Manxuan said innocently, blinking her eyes.
Xiao Manxue glared at Lin Tian and fumed, "This bastard is terrible. It’s not surprising we ended up fighting. If I don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll sweet-talk and deceive you!"
Her eyes full of humiliation and anger, she took several deep breaths, but her mood still wouldn’t calm down. The scorching pain left her feeling weak all over. This embarrassing state was all caused by the man before her. How could she not be furious?
If she had a sword in her hand, would she really want to hack this despicable bastard into pieces?
"Sister, he hasn’t been sweet-talking at all. It would be good if he did; he’s like a block of wood, completely clueless," Xiao Manxuan said softly, casting an unsatisfied glance at Lin Tian.
"This..." Lin Tian glanced at the two sisters and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing her younger sister’s demeanor, Xiao Manxue sighed helplessly, turned to Lin Tian, and said calmly, "Lin Tian, she’s my only sister. My decision is final. Please leave the Xiao Family and stay away from her!"
Although she was much calmer, her words still carried an undiminished domineering tone.
