Chapter 156: Chapter 155 Killing and Being Killed "Okay, Brother Tian," Rossi agreed promptly, readily falling into the habit of calling him Brother Tian. Although Lin Tian found it a bit awkward to be called Brother Tian by a vampire several hundred years old, he figured it was still better than being called master. He looked Rossi over, then gestured for him to take off his clothes. After all, Rossi could transform into a bat, so it didn’t matter whether he wore clothes or not. Rossi didn’t go against Lin Tian’s request, and removed his jacket and pants. As Lin Tian dressed, he casually asked, "Why did you try to steal the golden sword? It seems to restrain you vampires, so what use would it be to you once you had it?" "I’m not quite sure either," Rossi admitted honestly. "The people in my clan said there was a weapon in Huaxia that was fatal to us vampires, and they sent us to retrieve it and then destroy it, to avert a catastrophe for our family." It looked like Rossi’s clan knew about the existence of the sword and had only recently found out where it was, which was why they had sent people to steal it. For foreign vampires to try to enter Huaxia’s territory was to take a great risk, and that was the reason the female Heavenly Master wanted to kill them. Supernatural forces infiltrating from abroad would never be ignored by the hidden powers within Huaxia. Remembering the vampire incident in Xikou City, Lin Tian asked, "Have you been to Xikou City?" Rossi seemed to know what Lin Tian wanted to ask and went straight to the point, "I’ve never been to Xikou City. That was another group from the Blood Clan. They were hunted down by a mysterious force, half of them died, only three survived. I had just entered Huaxia territory to carry out a different mission, that is, to seize the golden sword. I was to rendezvous with those three Blood Clan members in Zhonghai City, but then I encountered you, Master, and failed." Vampire was a term others used out of fear to address them; they preferred to call themselves the Blood Clan. "Shouldn’t you hate me for killing your clan members?" Lin Tian knew that Rossi still retained all of his previous memories and thoughts. If Rossi really harbored any ill will, Lin Tian wouldn’t mind killing him again. He had now also realized that vampires couldn’t endlessly split into bats, and once they exceeded their limit, it meant destruction for the vampire. So even without the flames of the golden sword, Lin Tian and the lady in white would eventually have been able to annihilate them, just with more difficulty. "Vampires are only loyal to their master, and we are not a family in the true sense of the word. Many of the Blood Clan are created by the higher-ranking members and lack the emotional bonds of blood relatives," Rossi explained the situation of their clan. Such a family was quite pitiable indeed, with the lower-ranking ones forever being cannon fodder for the higher-ups. They didn’t even have any affection for the vampires they created, who were often just tools for carrying out missions. "You really are pitiful, but if you stick with me from now on, I won’t mistreat you," Lin Tian said, patting his shoulder. Right now, though, both of their looks were somewhat sleazy. Lin Tian was wearing a suit without a shirt underneath, and Rossi was wearing a shirt but only underwear below. Lin Tian was thinking of going back when he realized the confused female zombie had thrown him onto a lone peak with no paths. With no other choice, he had to become a climber for once. Why couldn’t Rossi, when transformed into a bat, be larger and capable of carrying a person for a joyous aerial ride? Climbing, however, posed no real challenge to Lin Tian. He looked around and identified the opposite direction of Tianma Mountain, then started to scale down the cliff from that side. To call it climbing was actually a bit of a stretch, jumping was more like it. Lin Tian leaped down, then after falling for a distance, he stuck both hands into the rock to stop himself before jumping again. After repeating this a few times, he reached the foot of the lone peak, while Rossi, luckier than him, flew down leisurely as a bat. Although vampires’ overall strength couldn’t match zombies, they could already transform into bats and fly at low levels. Zombies, on the other hand, needed to evolve to a much higher level to fly—a concept reminiscent of ancient flying zombies. To confirm whether the Xiao sisters had left, Lin Tian returned to Fanyin Temple. When he arrived at the back mountain, it was still in a mess, but everyone had already left. Lin Tian found it odd, with so much commotion at the back mountain, how could it be that not a single monk from the front courtyard came to inspect the situation? Could it be that the back mountain was off-limits to the monks? The old Zen master and the young monk were also gone, and Lin Tian felt somewhat embarrassed. Such a respected old Zen master, and Lin Tian had turned his territory into a disaster zone; he just couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt. Lin Tian decided that he would discuss with Miss upon his return about repairing the back mountain grounds. Since no one was there, Lin Tian didn’t linger and quietly left Fanyin Temple. There was some distance from the temple to the hotel where Lin Tian was staying, but that wasn’t difficult for him—it just seemed tough to run by himself without a car. As he descended the mountain, Tianma Mountain was even quieter, now deep into the night, and there wasn’t a soul on the winding mountain road. Lin Tian wanted to get back to the hotel as soon as possible and ran headlong down. At the mid-mountain, he wasn’t paying attention to his steps and seemed to have tripped over some protruding stone or something of the sort. It was normal to step on stones on a mountain path, and Lin Tian didn’t initially care much. But as soon as he lifted his foot, several large nets flew down from the mountain, surrounding him with an exit only on one sloped side. As Lin Tian backed towards the slope, suddenly, a huge log flew out from there. The end of the log was sharpened to a point; colliding with it would likely turn a person into a ragged sack. These traps were deeply hidden; Lin Tian had overlooked them without a second thought. Moreover, the attackers must have understood techniques like the Turtle Breath Technique from television, bringing their heartbeat and breathing to a near halt. Lin Tian gestured for Rossi to fly into the shadows and not come out. With one punch, the incoming log was blasted to smithereens, sending wood splinters flying everywhere. Lin Tian’s gaze flickered, his Heavenly Eye had already scanned the surroundings once over. Dammit, it was those Japanese ninjas again; no wonder setting traps and ambushing was so professional. There were not just five ninjas this time but ten, clearly, the original five had called for reinforcements. Seeing that he hadn’t descended from Tianma Mountain, the ninjas probably thought he was still up there, Lin Tian surmised. Their greed unfading, they sought to snatch back the golden sword, but they had certainly miscalculated this time. You didn’t take the path to Heaven but forced your way into Hell! A flash of blue light passed through Lin Tian’s eyes, revealing a cruel smile; he was now intent on annihilating them. Ten ninjas, five hidden on the rock face, five more in the slope’s forest. Lin Tian charged directly into the forest, moving swiftly. Seeing Lin Tian’s ferocity, the ninjas on the rock face leaped down, pursuing him, while a few faint gunshot sounds suddenly rang out from the forest. Five ninjas used very small pistols with silencers, all firing at Lin Tian at the same time. Yet unexpectedly, one of the ninjas who had jumped from the rock face was suddenly shot in the forehead, falling dead with eyes wide open to the ground!
