495. Lin Fan, Guard...dian
It's too hard.
At this moment, the zombie in front of us is far from being at its peak, and the spiritual energy she has absorbed is simply not enough to support this great battle!
Even when it broke free from the seal, its spiritual energy was almost completely depleted, right?
Even so, it was still able to fight to this extent against its own peak-level 'lower' version, and even when it used its shield axe, it could barely break through its defenses...
Isn't this ridiculously powerful?!
Gurgle.
After consuming a bottle of Spiritual Energy Pill, and feeling the True Essence gradually recovering within his body, Lin·Purple Firmament's expression grew increasingly solemn.
This battle is going to be tough!
"Roar!"
At that moment, the zombie roared, revealing a pair of fangs, and lunged at Lin·Purple Firmament once again.
"Let's fight again!"
No retreat!
Lin·Purple Firmament was absolutely certain that she was now the strongest person on Earth, and if even she had to back down...
Who else could possibly stand against him?!
Moreover, the opponent's target was clearly himself, and that intense fighting spirit seemed to never dissipate. This battle could only continue!
Boom!
An even more terrifying new round of battle unfolds once again, with Lin·Purple Firmament employing all her skills to display unparalleled prowess.
"Lin Fan!"
The zombie became increasingly agile, its eyes flashing with an indescribable luster, yet at the same time, it continued to chant Lin Fan's name as it charged forward relentlessly.
Her body was too 'hard' to be destroyed.
Even the heavenly lightning summoned by the Divine Sword Control Thunder True Technique couldn't harm it, let alone restrain it!
At least with Lin·Purple Firmament's current cultivation level, the heavenly lightning she summons is not enough to restrain her!
Thump!
Another collision occurred, and the zombie's head slammed into the shield. Lin·Purple Firmament felt a tremendous force and was sent flying backward.
But at the same time, the zombies followed, their claws slashing, their long nails cutting through the shield, sparks flying...
"Not good!"
The power is too great.
Moreover, it doesn't have that amazing endurance, and the effect of the Spiritual Energy Pill is still somewhat low for now, as Lin·Purple Firmament's True Essence is already running low.
Despite her best efforts to recover after being knocked away, she was still too late for the zombies to get close.
"Roll!"
She gave a low shout, and golden light flashed within her body, protected by purple aura.
The Golden Light Spell was unleashed to its fullest extent, attempting to repel the zombie, and the shield in his hand slammed down...
Bang!
The zombie's head was smashed, making a sound like metal clashing. Its head tilted sharply to the side, but that was all.
In what seemed like only a moment, the zombie regained its senses and its pair of sharp claws suddenly pierced through.
Sizzle!
A piercing sound rang out, and the sharp, razor-sharp, and incredibly hard fingernails actually pierced through the protective golden light that Lin·Purple Firmament had retrieved to her side!
then...
It was suddenly torn open!
Boom!
Golden light exploded, Lin·Purple Firmament's expression changed, and she launched a frantic counterattack, but the zombie neither dodged nor avoided, using its super strong defense to withstand everything, and then pounced on the former in mid-air!
"Oh no!"
Lin·Purple Firmament's heart pounded.
A tremendous force struck her body; the zombie grabbed Lin·Purple Firmament with terrifying strength, and then... a pair of fangs shot towards her neck.
Open!
Lin·Purple Firmament was extremely anxious and tried her best, but her True Essence was already insufficient, while the zombie was physically invincible and she could not break free at all!
At that very moment, the zombie's fangs slowly approached Lin·Purple Firmament's neck...
"Could it be that this guy's death is about to begin?!"
Lin·Purple Firmament was extremely anxious.
However, at that very moment, the zombie's fangs touched the skin of Lin·Purple Firmament's neck, a cool, stinging sensation accompanied by an itchy, tingling breath...
but.
The other party ultimately did not bite down; they only made a brief contact before separating. Then, she released Lin Fan, retreated to a distance, and did not make another move.
"Lin... Fan!"
The zombie spoke again, its eyes seemingly filled with smugness, but mostly with confusion.
However, Lin·Purple Firmament could tell that her opponent seemed happy to have defeated her and was excited about winning.
this...
What's going on?
Lin·Purple Firmament was filled with questions.
Just now, the other party could have clearly taken a bite, whether to suck out his blood and kill him, or to poison him with corpse poison.
But she didn't make a move, as if this battle wasn't about fighting to the death, but rather about stopping short of defeat and proving that she was stronger.
But here's the problem...
The zombie, which is at least a thousand years old, was sealed in the present world. Upon meeting, it showed a strong fighting spirit and wanted to fight that guy, or rather, itself.
They finally finished fighting, but didn't hurt anyone. Instead, they retreated to the sidelines and secretly gloated?!
What on earth is going on here?!
Lin·Purple Firmament was somewhat bewildered. "What exactly are you...?"
"Lin Fan!"
"..."
"Lin Fan".
"???"
"Lin Fan..."
"... You think you're a tree person?!"
Lin·Purple Firmament had a headache. What could she possibly get out of the other person in this state? All she could say was "Lin Fan, Lin Fan, Lin Fan".
However, the tone of each sentence is slightly different.
Lin·Purple Firmament couldn't help but wonder, could it be that each of her Lin Fan represents a different meaning?! But the question was, how could I possibly know what each of these Lin Fan actually meant?!
"Roar!"
Finally, the zombie was not in ' Lin Fan '.
But the first thing he said was a low growl.
"..."
"Never mind."
Lin·Purple Firmament frowned and sighed, "It seems that I will not be able to get anything out of you. In that case, I will not ask any more questions."
"I still don't know your name, and when I ask you, you won't tell me... How about I give you a name?"
"Lin Fan..."
"... Fine, fine, I give up, I won't get up, okay?"
At this moment, Lin·Purple Firmament had a bit of a headache.
How to handle this?!
This zombie is too powerful; I can't defeat it right now.
However, it seems that she doesn't want to hurt herself, or rather, she doesn't want to hurt Lin Fan. So how should this be handled?
With that kind of strength, once he gets angry, like wanting to suck some human blood, even he can't stop himself...
Bringing it back could easily cause problems.
But I won't take it back...
Come on, the other party is stronger than me. Where we go is entirely up to her. With that terrifying physical strength, there's nothing to be afraid of!
Just charge straight in!
Even her clothes were extraordinary; they remained undamaged despite his relentless bombardment, proving to be more durable than any magical artifact.
What should we do?
"I need to..."
She wanted to say something, but Lin·Purple Firmament quickly shut her mouth and didn't say another word.
What did you say?
Besides, doesn't she still only have those two words?
"I'm going back now. Do as you please."
Lin·Purple Firmament changed her tune, saying, "However, if you want to follow me, you'll need to listen to me..."
After saying that, without waiting for a response, Lin·Purple Firmament flew towards Earth, keeping an eye on the other party at the same time.
But then he discovered that the other party hadn't followed him; instead, they stood in the void, calmly watching him, until...
Even after Lin·Purple Firmament entered the atmosphere, she remained standing in the void, but she slowly withdrew her gaze.
"Lin Fan..."
She whispered, her eyes filled with even more confusion.
He stood there for a long, long time before he finally seemed to remember something.
"To guard... to protect."
Her voice was hoarse, and a relaxed expression appeared on her beautiful face. Then, she simply floated in the void, closed her eyes, and remained motionless.
From a distance, it looked like the corpse of a goddess, lying motionless in the universe, devoid of any sign of life...
"They didn't follow?"
Lin·Purple Firmament's expression was conflicted.
"There are more and more secrets."
"One mystery after another appeared, and there was simply no time to solve them, and each one was more difficult to understand than the last."
"What exactly happened in Earth's past? Why are there so many mysterious events? And who is this zombie?!"
"She could have killed me, but she didn't. It's certain that she had no intention of killing me."
"But what does that prove?"
It proves nothing.
Who exactly is this unbelievably beautiful female zombie? Where does she come from? What is her purpose? And why does she know Lin Fan?!
Too many questions lingered in Lin·Purple Firmament's mind, giving her a terrible headache, and she was completely unable to figure out what had happened.
This zombie is like a puzzle in itself, its entire body riddled with mysteries that are incredibly difficult to solve, making it a real headache.
"It's too mysterious..."
"Could it be... related to me and that guy traveling through time together?!"
Thinking of this, Lin·Purple Firmament was suddenly startled.
She had gradually forgotten about this recently, but right after she transmigrated, she wanted to figure out every moment why she and Lin Fan had transmigrated to each other's places.
But as time went by, she still couldn't figure out why. At the same time, due to some strange feelings, she was even afraid to find out the reason.
At the same time, she is also afraid that this cross-dressing will suddenly stop one day, so recently she has even deliberately avoided exploring this area.
However, at this moment, even though she was deliberately avoiding the topic, she couldn't help but start to think about it in that direction...
Because it doesn't make sense!
Does reincarnation exist?
No one has ever seen it, and Lin·Purple Firmament doesn't know either.
But even if it exists, it shouldn't be on Earth, right?
So why do I keep swapping bodies with Lin Fan? And why does this female zombie know Lin Fan? And why does she keep mentioning Lin Fan, even though she has clearly forgotten a lot of things, she still remembers this name, and only this name!
This is enough to show that her relationship with Lin Fan is not shallow!
They had a connection with Lin Fan at least a thousand years ago, and that connection wasn't shallow!
But Lin Fan is clearly only in his early twenties!
It can't be that Lin Fan was reincarnated and is still called Lin Fan in this life, right? But if that were the case, wouldn't it mean that there is reincarnation on Earth, and that Lin Fan has already reincarnated?
Thinking in this way is undoubtedly even more terrifying!
Lost in thought, Lin·Purple Firmament returned to Wudang Mountain...
The huge commotion just now, especially the fact that half of Wudang Mountain was blown up, could be seen from dozens of miles away, attracted a lot of people.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people from the Resident Happiness Living Department who blocked everyone from the outside, so Lin·Purple Firmament wasn't surrounded by anyone when she returned.
"I'm back!"
Liu Gang, whose cultivation was the highest, couldn't help but excitedly shout, "We didn't see any trace of that zombie, so we must... have won!"
"Thank goodness." The Seventh Vice Minister breathed a sigh of relief, "That battle just now was terrifying..."
Even with satellite footage, it's impossible to see anything clearly. At most, you can see two half-human figures, about the size of ants, fighting fiercely, with all sorts of special effects and environmental destruction at maximum!
Who won and who lost?
It's really hard to see clearly.
"How about it?"
As soon as Lin·Purple Firmament landed, the Seventh Vice Minister immediately gathered around and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
"..."
Lin·Purple Firmament slowly shook her head. Injured? Not really, but she was almost bitten on the neck!
Wait, biting the neck?!
Recalling the sensation she had just felt, Lin·Purple Firmament suddenly got goosebumps.
A woman—no, a female zombie—was so close to me, her fangs pressed against my skin, even her lips...
Etc!
Wrong!
What do you mean by "sticking to one's neck"? This is clearly that guy's body!
In other words...
A woman, so close to that guy, even kissed his neck?!
This is outrageous!
Lin·Purple Firmament almost exploded.
But she couldn't get angry, nor could she accuse Lin Fan of anything, since she was the one operating ' Lin Fan's account' at this moment.
It's like you're playing on someone else's account, and you lose a ranked match...
You can't blame other people's accounts for not being powerful enough, can you?
Depressed!
"That zombie?"
Seeing Lin·Purple Firmament's dark face and silence, the Seventh Vice Minister cautiously asked, "Dead?"
"Alive".
Lin·Purple Firmament responded, "She's still floating in space. I don't know if she'll ever come back."
"This?!"
The Seventh Vice Minister were startled. "What if she comes back..."
"She has some sense."
Lin·Purple Firmament pondered, "It won't lead to a massacre. Even if she comes back, as long as we don't provoke her, there shouldn't be any major problems."
This was her guess.
But there's a feeling that it's pretty close to the truth.
First of all, the fact that she can speak proves that she has some thoughts. Although she only says the two words "Lin Fan" each time, her tone and other expressions are different. Perhaps what she actually wants to say is not "Lin Fan" but something else.
Doesn't this further prove that she has a mind of her own?
"..."
The Seventh Vice Minister were somewhat surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Lin·Purple Firmament said, "Don't worry too much."
"She's a zombie, and she's stronger than me. Even I can't hurt her, let alone kill her!"
"She must be aware of this herself, but she is by no means in her perfect state right now!"
"If she had any ideas, we would definitely not be standing here intact."
"Putting everything else aside, the moment she broke free, she had countless opportunities to kill everyone present..."
"Don't forget, she's a zombie. Zombies can restore their strength and fighting power by drinking blood."
"Moreover, if one has no thoughts in mind, or is preparing to start a killing spree, needless to say, the mere fact that human blood is attractive to zombies is enough to ensure that there are no more living people here..."
Lin·Purple Firmament gradually figured some things out.
For example, the zombie probably won't go on a killing spree, or rather, it won't cause any trouble.
Otherwise, she could have easily absorbed everyone here, including herself!
But she didn't do that. She didn't even inhale from anyone. Instead, she displayed amazing fighting power and fought with me as I rushed into the Beyond the Heavens.
This is enough to prove that she wouldn't do anything reckless.
"Is it that strong?"
The Seventh Vice Minister nodded in agreement with Lin·Purple Firmament's words, but the problem was that the other party was too strong!
Even someone like Lin Fan, who can shatter half a meteorite with a single punch, can't beat him?!
"Her origins are very mysterious."
Lin·Purple Firmament shook her head and whispered, "I don't know where she comes from or how strong she is, but I'm not capable of defeating her right now..."
"It can't even break through the defenses."
"But if we could know her origins, we might be able to figure out a lot of things. Unfortunately, half of the mountainside has been blown up, and even if there were some things in the cave that could be studied, they have long since disappeared."
"Indeed."
The Seventh Vice Minister had no choice but to accept this astonishing fact, and frowned as he said, "However, I will send people to search this place carefully, trying not to miss any details, to see if we can find any useful information or items."
"You can give it a try, but don't have too high hopes."
Lin·Purple Firmament nodded gently.
She used her Divine Sense to investigate but found nothing useful. But what if there were things that could block Divine Sense detection?
However, this possibility is not high.
Therefore, she did not reject the Seventh Vice Minister's proposal.
"That..."
What should we do with these?
The Seventh Vice Minister then pointed to the four zombies that were still floating in the air, motionless, his expression somewhat conflicted.
"If we consider that woman as the mother, or the progenitor, then these zombies would be considered the Second Generation, right?"
"Green vertical pupils, doesn't look like someone to mess with."
"They are relatively weaker, but they are physically strong. However, compared to that woman, they are many times weaker."
Lin·Purple Firmament nodded. "We can take it."
"I'm relieved to hear that!"
The Seventh Vice Minister breathed a sigh of relief.
then...
Then, before he could say anything, Luo Shiping, who had been hiding behind them without saying a word, couldn't help but step forward and call out, "Brothers, are you... alright?"
"They're out of their minds; your shouting won't help."
Lin·Purple Firmament shook her head and whispered.
She scanned the area with her Divine Sense and was certain that the souls of the four people were floating above her head. She wondered how the zombie had managed to do that.
That's why they look so blank.
but...
This was not difficult for Lin·Purple Firmament. He used his Nascent Soul Realm stage soul to suppress the four people's souls and forcefully forced them back into their physical bodies.
Then...
The four gradually regained their composure and were no longer blank. Then they fell from the sky together, each with a very complicated expression.
"Brothers."
Luo Shiping was immediately excited and wanted to step forward, but Liu Gang stopped him.
"The situation is unclear, do not approach!"
"But... they're my brothers!"
Luo Shiping panicked. "Didn't they regain their senses?"
"Even if they regain their senses, they're still zombies. It's hard to say whether zombies have any humanity."
Liu Gang still didn't let go, his gaze fixed on the four people, or rather, the four corpses.
