From Clark's words, it could be discerned that the girl was his only hope, and without her, his path of revenge would reach its end.

If he were human, even the greatest hatred would dissipate after a century with his death, returning to dust, vanishing like smoke. But as an immortal vampire, Clark's hatred could torment him forever if no one could kill him; death might be a relief.

Lin Tian sighed slightly, then turned to Reina Sword Saint and said, "Reina Sword Saint, may I borrow your sword?"

Reina looked at the nicks on the greatsword and said, "The greatsword is basically damaged and can't withstand many more blows."

"It's fine; deciding victory or defeat is just a matter of one strike," Lin Tian said calmly. Although Reina was puzzled, she handed the chipped sword to Lin Tian.

"Instructor, let's step back a bit to avoid being caught up in it," Xiao Manxue reminded, as she and Mark helped Reina move to the back.

Lin Tian gripped the sword handle with both hands and swung the greatsword. Indeed, this Western weapon was quite heavy.

"Little Ya, are you dead? If you're not, give me a sign," Lin Tian suddenly spoke in his mind, but to outsiders, it looked like he was standing and preparing to attack.

Little Ya, of course, was the Sword Spirit of the Sword of the King. Ever since leaving Holy Spirit Town, this guy had been silent. It was unclear if he was asleep or just uncomfortable with the change in environment.

"Youngster, your words are still as unpleasant as ever. Tell me, why did you wake me? I've told you before, I'm not your laborer, don't make me do hard work," the Sword Spirit said disgruntledly, protesting before Lin Tian even stated his request.

Lin Tian smirked and said, "Of course, there's a reason I'm looking for you. Do you see the sword in my hand? It can't handle my power, so possess it for now and let me use it."

"Damn, I already told you I'm not your laborer. Why assign me such hard work? Moreover, that's a broken sword, not worthy of my possession. Look at its blade; it's chipped, and you want me to possess such a damaged sword? That's an insult to me!" the Sword Spirit protested righteously.

"And don't threaten me; I'm the Sword Spirit of the Sword of the King, with dignity. I won't possess such a flawed sword, not a chance," the Sword Spirit declared straightforwardly.

Lin Tian wasn't angry, just sighed intentionally, "Sigh, what a pity. I thought you'd be willing. This way, while I use it, I'd allow you to absorb my energy. Never mind, since you're unwilling, I won't force you."

"Wha... what? You'd allow me to absorb your energy? That flame-like energy?" The Sword Spirit, who was righteously indignant a moment ago, shifted 180 degrees instantly.

The urgency in its tone was like a starved person suddenly seeing a delicious roast chicken in front of them. If the Sword Spirit had eyes, they'd definitely be glowing at this moment.

Lin Tian smiled calmly and said, "Of course, the energy I, Lin Tian, use, would it be ordinary?"

"Alright, I agree." The Sword Spirit said eagerly.

"Little Ya, you really are not swayed by wealth," Lin Tian was truly impressed by the Sword Spirit, whose attitude changed so quickly. Indeed, dealing with foodies, nothing can't be solved with a roast chicken; if not, then two.

The Sword Spirit didn't show any embarrassment, still speaking seriously, "Not being swayed by wealth is something said to mortals, how can it apply to me?"

Lin Tian almost gave a thumbs up for its thick skin, thicker than his own, as he said, "Alright, no more talk, I've lifted the restrictions, get into the sword via my hand."

The Sword Spirit swam from within Lin Tian's body up along the shoulder to the arm, passed through the palm, and possessed the greatsword. At the moment the Sword Spirit possessed it, Reina Sword Saint slightly frowned, sensing carefully but eventually shaking her head.

"Reina, did you feel it too? Just now I also did, it was like the aura of the Sword of the King appeared nearby," Mark said, puzzled.

"I'm not sure either; that feeling was fleeting. Maybe it was our illusion. How could the Sword of the King appear here?" Reina shook her head.

Although far away, Lin Tian heard their conversation and immediately said to the Sword Spirit, "Hey, can you be more careful, almost got us discovered by those two."

"Hehe, sorry, been locked up too long, got a bit excited coming out, but rest assured, I'll perfectly restrain my energy, no leakage." The Sword Spirit chuckled.

"During the fight, absorb as much as you can. Don't say I didn't warn you; such opportunities aren't common." Lin Tian reminded.

"Don't worry, not working hard is one thing, but how could I not eat enthusiastically?" The Sword Spirit said shamelessly.

"Begin!" Clark shouted, then transformed into blood-sucking bats, flying into the swarm above. A second later, the swarm turned into a gigantic tornado, larger than before, roaring towards Lin Tian.

Whether it was the team members or Reina and Mark, they all clearly felt that Clark's attack was even more ferocious. The tornado, as tall as the castle, made Lin Tian appear so insignificant, as if a mere gust could shatter him into pieces, everyone's heart leapt to their throats.

A moment ago, in everyone's eyes, Lin Tian was on the same level as Li Wenfeng, but now he faced such a fierce attack, the attack that even injured Reina Sword Saint.

Lin Tian stared at the bat tornado, calmly swung the greatsword, then gripped it single-handedly, the blade slanting towards the ground. At the same time, a purple flame appeared on his forehead, and then everyone witnessed a miraculous scene.

Purple flames suddenly appeared on his palm, wrapping around the sword hilt, then spreading along, until the entire greatsword transformed into a Flame Giant Sword, the purple flames were awe-inspiring.

"What is this?" Jin Lisi said in shock and uncertainty; the Lin Tian he always looked down upon, at this moment, radiated an overwhelming aura.

"Could it be that Lin Tian is a legendary mage?" Zhu Li also questioned.

The other team members were equally shocked and perplexed that a teammate they executed missions with, a mere team doctor, had suddenly become so powerful.

Reina and Mark appeared calm, but the expressions in their eyes betrayed their inner turmoil. As Sword Saint level strongmen, they could more clearly sense Lin Tian's current terrifying power.

And the only one familiar with Lin Tian was Xiao Manxue, so their gazes turned towards her. She spread her hands, indicating she wasn't sure either, as she really didn't know when Lin Tian had become so formidable again.
