The one who broke through the blood-colored barrier was the Heavenly Master Girl with her Heavenly Master Magic Artifact. At this moment, what was hovering above her head was exactly her Heavenly Master Magic Artifact, the White Tiger Seal.
Without a doubt, she must have used the White Tiger Seal to break the barrier, but this barrier was strong enough that the gap closed up quickly.
Not only did the Skull War General possess restorative abilities, but this blood-colored barrier also automatically restored itself, and the source of all this lay in this ancient battlefield.
The Heavenly Master Girl didn't answer Lin Tian's questions, but with a wave of her hand, she collected her Heavenly Master Magic Artifact and said coldly to Charlotte, "To distract me, you indeed sacrificed your men willingly."
Charlotte was unaffected by the Heavenly Master Girl's words and replied, "To sacrifice for a superior Blood Clan member is their honor." The vampires typically referred to themselves as the Blood Clan.
Regarding the strict hierarchy of vampires, Lin Tian had long heard from Rossi. Rossi himself was sent as cannon fodder by the superior Blood Clan. From his batch, he was the only one left; to outsiders, it seemed so cruel, yet within the Blood Clan, it was routine.
"It's a pity, though. You've lost so many men, and yet I've arrived here all the same," the Heavenly Master Girl said.
"That's no longer important. I've obtained what I wanted and can leave anytime. It's just that when someone dares to challenge my authority, I stay to destroy them," Charlotte said coldly.
It was then that the Heavenly Master Girl turned her gaze to Lin Tian, her eyes flickered, and just when she thought it was only the two of them, a scream erupted from a dilapidated building. A figure hurriedly dashed out, followed by a large group of Skeleton Soldiers and several formidable Skull Men.
The fleeing person was none other than Guizhong Erlang, who had hidden underground. Now, looking even more wretched, covered in dust, lacking any trace of an Onmyoji's demeanor.
"I told you, the underground is a world of the dead; you have nowhere to hide," Charlotte said indifferently, eyeing Guizhong Erlang, having already anticipated this outcome.
Guizhong Erlang looked up, intending to curse, but then noticed an additional person on the rooftop and exclaimed, "A Huaxia Demon Exorcist?"
The Heavenly Master Girl also noticed Guizhong Erlang and frowned, "An Onmyoji from Japan, what are you doing in Huaxia?"
Guizhong Erlang shifted his eyes and said, "She and I are enemies, so of course I came to thwart her plans."
He was referring to Charlotte, but the way he said it was deliberately crafty. True, he and Charlotte were enemies, and he did come to sabotage her, yet his words made it sound different, making his unauthorized intrusion into Huaxia to seize the Elixir Recipe seem noble.
The purpose of Guizhong Erlang's actions was to avoid making more enemies. One Charlotte was already enough to threaten his life.
"Guizhong Erlang, your singing is sweeter than your words. Obviously, you're hired to steal the Elixir Recipe, don't make it sound so grand. Do you think you're Abe Qingming?" Lin Tian glanced at him, exposing Guizhong Yilang.
"Are you from the Guizhong family? The core of the Guizhong Clan's Yin Yang Technique is Corpse Refining. You're not welcome in Huaxia's Demon Exorcism World," the Heavenly Master Girl said, frowning as she looked at Guizhong Erlang.
"So, you're all against me?" Guizhong Erlang narrowed his eyes and said.
"Coming to steal my Blood Angel and speaking so casually in my barrier are both my faults, but I am never wrong, so I must destroy you," Charlotte said again, looking coldly at Guizhong Erlang.
Charlotte waved her hand, and all the skeletons charged at Guizhong Erlang, disregarding Lin Tian and Rossi, swearing to tear this Onmyoji from Japan to shreds.
Guizhong Erlang sneered and said, "I'm not so easily dealt with. It's time to show you my Shishen; otherwise, you'd think our Guizhong Clan is easy to bully."
With that, he took out a yellow talisman paper and slapped it on the ground while chanting, which made the talisman emit a yellow light. As the light appeared, the ground shook violently, even more than when the Skull War General made his appearance earlier.
Several dilapidated buildings even cracked and collapsed due to the tremor; the abandoned factory was suddenly engulfed in dust, creating a chaotic scene. Lin Tian and Rossi quickly jumped onto the rooftop of a building, forming a triangle facing Charlotte and the Heavenly Master Girl from afar.
Charlotte didn't stop Guizhong Erlang's actions, and Lin Tian had even less reason to intervene. After all, both were enemies, and since they wanted to fight each other tooth and nail, Lin Tian was more than happy to watch from the sidelines, amusing himself by observing the duel.
Of course, whether it really was a duel between tigers depended on what kind of Shishen Guizhong Erlang had.
As the tremors intensified, a crack appeared in the ground, followed by an explosion. A massive figure burst out from the ground. The surrounding Skeleton Soldiers were blown away, and when the dust settled, a deep pit appeared on the ground. Standing in the pit was an enormous entity.
The reason Lin Tian considered it an entity rather than any other creature was because Guizhong Erlang's Shishen looked too bizarre.
Its form was similar to a human's, but it stood over four meters tall, with an arm thicker than an elephant's leg, and legs resembling pillars.
Moreover, this giant's skin and muscles were peculiar, not human-like but resembling something rocky. It had no facial features, and in its hand, it held something akin to a pillar, also rock-like; the entire appearance was that of a rock giant.
Lin Tian had seen quite a few Shishen: charming and crafty Fox Clan, extraordinarily strong Fierce Bear, the bizarre hair demon, Ghost Wolf, even undead. The variety of strange Shishen in the shrine remained fresh in Lin Tian's memories, yet he didn't expect to encounter something even stranger today.
"What a cruel method of refining!" the Heavenly Master Girl exclaimed as she looked at the rock giant.
"Demon Exorcist of Huaxia, it seems you have some insight, but for me, there's only the pursuit of ultimate power, no concept of good or evil. This rock giant was formed by combining the bodies of the undead and beasts, then refined using earth-type Yin Yang Technique, turning it into what it is now. You'll soon understand its power," Guizhong Erlang proudly explained, completely oblivious to how cruel his methods were. His tone was the same as Guizhong Yilang, obsessed solely with strength, lacking any sense of moral judgment.
"Destroy to your heart's content!" Guizhong Erlang shouted, and the rock giant, receiving his command, walked out of the pit with heavy steps.
The surrounding Skeleton Soldiers had no sense of fear. Whether facing a giant or a dwarf, they attacked all the same. The Skeleton Soldiers swarmed the rock giant like ants trying to topple an elephant when viewed from above.
The rock giant raised its pillar-shaped weapon and smashed it down forcefully, shaking the entire ground. The hit created a pit on the ground, and the Skeleton Soldiers struck by the pillar shattered into pieces, then dissipated into black mist, disappearing without a trace.
