Under everyone’s astonished gaze, a living beauty transford into a giant bat, just like Rossi, but different in that this one was larger, with more complex golden patterns on its wings and sharper red eyes.
Charlotte is a vampire! Lin Tian’s first thought, and the second was that she is more formidable than Rossi.
Just as this thought erged, the giant bat had already flown past a ninja, and a streak of blood burst forth as the ninja’s throat was slit by Charlotte’s transford bat.
With a "bang," the ninja’s corpse fell to the ground, and upon impact, it exploded.
With a "boom," a small mushroom cloud rose, and a strong shock wave swept out fiercely.
"Protect the Second Miss, I’ll go save Mrs. Xiao!" Lin Tian shouted to the Miss, then rushed towards Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was still five ters away, but closest to the explosion center, and Lin Tian was the fastest, besides him, no one else was fit for the rescue.
As for Ghost and the others, Lin Tian needn’t worry; they were battlefield veterans, naturally skilled at evading explosions.
Lin Tian flickered over to Mrs. Xiao’s side, and the shock wave behind reached them. Lin Tian, without hesitation, hugged Mrs. Xiao and turned, using his body to shield her from the shock wave.
The shock wave’s power was akin to a half zombie’s self-destruction; Lin Tian had just protected Mrs. Xiao when both were swept away by the wave.
They were flung into an abandoned house, which collapsed alongside them, destroyed by the shock wave, leaving Lin Tian and Mrs. Xiao buried inside.
The Xiao sisters were horrified by this sight, their faces turning pale; the two people very important to them were buried just like that.
"Mom..."
"Lin Tian..."
Lin Tian had no ti to heed their calls; he was focused on how to protect Mrs. Xiao. The house collapsing down wasn’t a joke; even if he were buried, he’d be fine, but Mrs. Xiao, being just a re flesh and blood, was not.
What Lin Tian admired, however, was that in such a situation, Mrs. Xiao remained calm, even telling Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, you don’t need to save , just leave yourself, you can do it."
"Too late, the house has completely collapsed." Lin Tian said, and as soon as he finished speaking, a giant force pressed them to the ground.
Mrs. Xiao, underneath, showed a pained expression, and Lin Tian gritted his teeth and braced his arms and legs, miraculously creating a space for Mrs. Xiao to survive.
If anyone else were in this situation, both would be crushed into minceat; only Lin Tian’s zombie form could withstand being buried.
Even so, the space Lin Tian managed to create was extrely limited, with him and Mrs. Xiao practically face-to-face, able to clearly feel her breath and heartbeat.
In the darkness, Mrs. Xiao couldn’t see Lin Tian, but Lin Tian could see her, her face a bit unnatural, as after her husband passed years ago, she’d never been so close to a man.
However, Lin Tian had no extraneous thoughts; he even exerted effort to expand the space, distancing himself a bit from Mrs. Xiao.
"Lin Tian, will we die here?" Mrs. Xiao asked softly, speaking softly since she could sense Lin Tian was close.
"I won’t let you die." Lin Tian replied confidently.
Mrs. Xiao fell silent, sighing slightly, "Lin Tian, you shouldn’t have saved , sacrificing your youth."
"Mrs. Xiao is still young too, with plenty of ti to enjoy, don’t speak lightly of life and death. Besides, I don’t want the Second Miss and the Miss to beco orphans like ." Lin Tian spoke softly.
In such an environnt, despair cos easily; even if Mrs. Xiao started off calm, discovering they couldn’t leave would change her mood. Lin Tian’s words were ant to stabilize her emotions. Upon ntioning Xiao Manxuan and the Miss, Mrs. Xiao indeed felt better.
"Listen to , I’ll get you out." Lin Tian promised again.
"What should I do?" asked Mrs. Xiao.
"Close your eyes, don’t think about anything, leave everything to , and open your eyes when I tell you to." Lin Tian instructed.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Mrs. Xiao agreed.
"It’s starting..." Lin Tian said, then forcefully pushed with both hands and feet, causing the objects burying them to emit a grating noise.
"Open for !" Lin Tian growled lowly, then pushed upward with all his strength, blasting the bricks and wood apart.
Lin Tian sprang forth with Mrs. Xiao, like Sun Wukong flying out of Five Finger Mountain.
Outside, the Xiao sisters and Ghost Team saw figures erging from the ruins, their hearts all rejoiced.
"I told you, Boss Lin wouldn’t die so easily!" Stone said excitedly.
The Xiao sisters hurried towards Lin Tian’s landing spot, shouting for Lin Tian and mom.
Before the Miss and Xiao Manxuan reached them, Lin Tian released Mrs. Xiao to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Mom, Lin Tian, are you okay?" Xiao Manxuan shouted excitedly.
"Of course we’re okay; Mrs. Xiao isn’t even scratched, still as beautiful as ever." Lin Tian laughed, despite being covered in dust, the fact that Mrs. Xiao was unhard was cause for joy.
"I’m fine, Lin Tian saved ." Mrs. Xiao remarked, glancing at Lin Tian and talking to her daughter.
With their confirmation, the Xiao sisters breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lin Tian with eyes full of gratitude.
"Brother Tian, co quick, look at my master..." Ghost suddenly called.
Lin Tian didn’t have ti to dust himself off and ran over, gasping at the sight of the elderly man on the ground.
Two rusted rebar were lodged in Ghost’s master’s abdon, and on his shoulder, a deep wound to the bone leaked bright red blood, staining the sand.
"With your master’s skills, how did this happen?" Lin Tian asked while staunching the flow of blood.
Ghost sighed helplessly, saying, "It’s because of Bai Yuze; even in such tis, my master thought of his promise, shielding Bai Yuze from the explosion at his own cost, causing these injuries."
Lin Tian glanced towards the Bai Family nearby; all those black robed n were writhing in agony. Bai Yuze knelt on the ground, his hands covered in blood that wasn’t his, but Bai Zhengchu’s.
Bai Zhengchu’s injuries were graver than Ghost’s master’s — a rebar through his chest and a gaping abdominal wound seed like seppuku, blood flowing endlessly like a stream, even his mouth overflowed with blood.
This, clearly beyond saving, affected internal organs, causing internal bleeding.
Bai Yuze futilely clutched Bai Zhengchu’s stomach wound, helpless.
