"Rossi..." Lin Tian exclaimed, his heart shaken, completely unaware that the Ghost Claw Dagger was already coming at him.
With a "puff," the Ghost Claw Dagger accurately pierced into Lin Tian's heart. Lin Tian felt a momentary stabbing pain, his body as if struck by high-voltage electricity, his soul seemingly about to withdraw from his body.
"How... are there two Charlottes? Two Ghost Claw Daggers?" Lin Tian looked at the blood seeping from his chest, speaking in disbelief.
Charlotte easily broke free from Lin Tian's grasp, smiling faintly, "Take a good look, who is the one who assassinated you?"
Lin Tian looked up, and the face of the "Charlotte" who appeared later suddenly transformed. Although still a woman, she was clearly different from Charlotte. Lin Tian remembered, this was one of Charlotte's female subordinates.
"Before you die, let me correct you on one thing: these are not called Ghost Claw Daggers, they're called Soul-devouring Blades. They were a pair from the day they were forged; who told you there was only one, heh..." Charlotte laughed mockingly, as if a long-planned scheme had finally succeeded.
"Pro-, sol-, com-, bat, all, stand, arrayed, in, front..." Before she finished speaking, a voice chanting incantations sounded not far away.
Charlotte turned to look, only to see the Heavenly Master Girl reciting incantations with her eyes closed, her hair rising with no wind behind her, and a White Tiger Seal floating before her. As the incantations proceeded, the White Tiger Seal gradually began to shine with purple lightning. However, with each word uttered, blood trickled from the Heavenly Master Girl's mouth.
"Nine-character True Words! A Heavenly Master magic artifact! Are you insane, using the Nine-character True Words to forcibly activate a Heavenly Master magic artifact? Is this man so important to you?" Charlotte said with a frown, her expression serious as she gazed at the floating White Tiger Seal.
"Stop now!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and broke through the paralysis in his body, managing to shout with difficulty.
But it was too late; the Heavenly Master Girl's eyes snapped open, purple lightning flashing in them, her face expressionless, her gaze seeming devoid of human emotion, cold beyond measure.
At the same time, the White Tiger Seal silently unleashed an arm-thick bolt of purple lightning, striking toward Charlotte.
A shadow flashed past, blocking in front of Charlotte, colliding with the purple lightning. It was Charlotte's female vampire subordinate, who, without time to withdraw the dagger, rushed headlong to shield her master from the purple lightning.
There was no huge sound, just a slight "snap," and the female vampire instantly turned to ashes, like the Half Zombie before, such overwhelming power causing Charlotte's face to change dramatically.
She suddenly swung her knife, placing the dagger against Lin Tian's neck while holding the dagger in his chest, coldly saying, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately shatter his heart and decapitate him. No matter who he is, how powerful, with a broken heart and no head, he'll die instantly."
The cold gaze of the Heavenly Master Girl wavered, her hand forming seals halted, and as she stopped, she spat a mouthful of fresh blood, her body swayed a few times, almost losing her balance, yet her gaze instead regained clarity.
"Lin Tian, are you okay?" The Heavenly Master Girl anxiously asked without wiping away the blood at her mouth.
Lin Tian glanced at the dagger stuck in his chest and the Soul-devouring Blade near his throat, saying, "I won't die for now. You promised me earlier, if I survive, you'll let me see your true face."
"You're both at death's door and still have the heart to flirt," Charlotte sneered.
The Heavenly Master Girl ignored Charlotte's sarcasm, reached behind her ear, and slowly revealed the purple veil.
Gradually, pale skin was exposed, followed by rosy lips, a straight nose, and an incredibly beautiful face appeared before him, leaving Lin Tian stunned, not merely due to her beauty.
"Zhang Lingyu, it's really you. The two figures that always lingered in my heart, one was Zhang Lingyu from Class Three in the senior year, and the other was the Beautiful Sky Master who came and went without a trace. Today, they finally united as one," Lin Tian said with a smile, not shocked as imagined, perhaps because deep down inside, Lin Tian already considered them as the same person.
The Heavenly Master Girl before him was Lin Tian's classmate Zhang Lingyu. Knowing her identity, Lin Tian's mind was filled with more questions. Why was such a Demon Exorcist appearing in Xikou City, and why did she transfer to Xikou City High School? What other identities did she have?
Upon seeing the face of the Heavenly Master Girl, Charlotte was slightly surprised. She clearly did not expect that the Demon Exterminating Master who had always opposed her was this beautiful, rivaling her own looks.
After her surprise, she suddenly laughed, "You are all quite interesting. Flirting here, while surrounded by danger over there. I really don't know what's so great about you that captivates so many women."
"What did you say?" Lin Tian asked, frowning at the hidden meaning in her words.
"You'll find out what I said," Charlotte said with a smile, waving her hand to reveal something like a window in the air, displaying a scene inside.
"Miss? Second Miss?" Lin Tian said in surprise.
Inside was an image of the Xiao sisters surrounded. Miss sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, performing Breath Control, while Second Miss stood worried beside her, occasionally glancing at the surrounding Skeleton Soldiers.
"That's the Barrier triggered by the Amulet I gave to Xuanxuan. Miss may be injured," Zhang Lingyu said with a serious expression.
"Disaster! Could today be Second Miss's day of doom?" Lin Tian said in shock, recalling Zi Yan's fortune-telling, which had predicted a calamity for Second Miss.
"Charlotte, you've got the Blood Angel, why do you still trouble them? If there's something, come at me!" Lin Tian said through gritted teeth.
"I'm very interested in you. I want to know what you really are, what potential you have. I want to force out all your potential," Charlotte said with a cold smile.
After speaking, she suddenly pointed at the Barrier, and ten Skull War Generals all rushed outward, quickly appearing in the scene in mid-air, surrounding the Xiao sisters. They then began attacking their Barrier.
The Barrier, already enduring much assault, shattered with a pop as the ten Skull War Generals attacked simultaneously. Xiao Manxuan paled in fright, but her eyes grew more resolute.
"Xuanxuan, what are you doing!" Zhang Lingyu shouted.
But Xiao Manxuan could neither see nor hear anything here. A purple bug flew over, landing in Xiao Manxuan's palm—it was Little Zi, which immediately burrowed into Xiao Manxuan's hand and disappeared.
"Lin Tian, what is that?" Zhang Lingyu asked.
"Zombie Gu, an enhanced version of the Zombie Gu..." Lin Tian exclaimed.
Seeing Xiao Manxuan's stance, Lin Tian already knew what she intended to do. To protect Miss, she planned to let Little Zi transform her into a Half Zombie.
The ten Skull War Generals attacked again, ten weapons simultaneously slashing toward Xiao Manxuan, the frail girl like a small boat in the sea about to be smashed by a big wave!
