The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 538 - 537

Chapter 538: 537

The Great Zen Master had not expected that the youth with exceptional talent would indeed achieve such feat today. According to Buddhist doctrine, this person must have touched the Zen Root. With a little bit of polish, he would undoubtedly become a Master Level figure of the Witchcraft sect.

Ye Tian knew that the Spiritual Power within his body no longer had any effect on these insects, and did not show much frustration. After all, the empty city strategy only needed to be used once, and furthermore, having bided their time for a while, the opponent would certainly find a countermeasure. It would be wishful thinking to expect to take down the opponent effortlessly like the last time.

The insect swarm advanced like a swarm of bees, and the aura of bloodthirstiness rushed towards him. Ye Tian took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes; he raised his right foot slightly, no more than a fist’s distance from the ground.

As the insect swarm roared closer, they were only a meter away from Ye Tian. It seemed that in just a moment, the colorful insects would pounce on his body, and then, before his eyes, there would only be an Insect Man surrounded and devoured by countless insects.

The face of the Esoteric Master grew somber, the white stick in her hand trembling slightly. She knew some of Ye Tian’s strength, but this was the first time she had witnessed such a majestic Witchcraft Insect Control Skill. Ye Tian had only practiced it in haste for a few days, and she was not sure if he could withstand it. If the situation turned dire, she would have to tear apart her facade and rush in. Just as she was about to throw her stick, it was held back by a withered hand with old, wrinkled skin. Looking up, she didn’t know when the Great Zen Master had already stood behind her.

The Great Zen Master looked at her and gently shook his head. The Esoteric Master then turned her gaze back to Ye Tian, who was about to be surrounded and devoured by insects but ultimately put down her white stick and stood still, silently watching.

The insect swarm had surrounded Ye Tian from all sides like a flood with no escape, a tense situation about to erupt. If the insects were to crawl onto his body, it would take less than a second for the entire person to be completely devoured. At that moment, Ye Tian’s right foot, which had been slightly raised a fist’s distance from the ground, gently stomped down. A layer of fine dust and sand rose around the sole of his foot. Just a gentle stomp, yet it stirred up a tremendous wave. The surrounding insects were instantly blown away by the milky white glow of the Buddha circle, countless colored insects were tossed into the air, wave after wave, layer upon layer, centered around Ye Tian, the surging insect wave was entirely scattered by that layer of Buddha circle.

Instantly, within the Barrier, it was a bustling scene.

The Great Zen Master’s mouth formed a wry smile; you little rascal, just waiting here, what took you so long.

Bodhi gave a slight smile and nodded, but said nothing. Yet from his eyes, one could read an indescribable glint, a profound expression that defied clear articulation.

The Black Armored Master standing beside Bodhi saw the surging layers of insect waves within the Barrier and commented without a change in expression, "Not likely to achieve greatness."

The Black Armored Master had long coveted the Bodhi Seed, but faced with his own brothers, he still could not speak out. Although Bodhi, nominally, was a Master who also protected the Buddha Bead Relics and cultivated together, the relationship among the three was not as close and easy as outsiders imagined. There had been numerous occasions when the Black Armored Master attempted to sneak into the Nushen Tower to steal the Buddha Beads, but every time, Bodhi would intervene. When he finally couldn’t bear it anymore and lashed out, Bodhi stood unmoved; only for a transparent Buddha hand to suddenly appear from the air and firmly grasp the Black Armored Master, immobilizing him after a long struggle. Bodhi just smiled at him without uttering a word.

Although the Black Armored Master eventually landed safely, this physical confrontation had made both the Skull Master and the Black Armored Master fully comprehend the frightening strength of this individual who had joined the Brahmin halfway through their journey. No, he was simply akin to an immortal whose power connected heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Black Armored Master’s annoyance was not directed at the Bodhi seeds beside him, but rather at the State Preceptor of Thailand within the Barrier. Just how terrifying the power of the three Bodhi seeds could be was beyond words. Yet this damn State Preceptor allowed it to be easily shattered to pieces with a mere stomp; if that’s not useless, then what is?

Inside the Barrier, however, the two people did not seem as relaxed as those outside appeared to be.

"State Preceptor, what a skillful move."

"Yet it pales in comparison to your gentle kick."

Although Shangjia Moti was amazed at Ye Tian’s superb kick, he still didn’t take it seriously in his heart. It was just a minor trick after all. As a rare genius of the Wizard tribe, one that appears once every five hundred years, if his ability was merely to control a few stinking insects, it would be laughably pathetic to mention.

After their brief exchange, the two engaged in combat once again.

Between the two of them, the ground was littered with dead insect carcasses of all kinds and colors, densely packed, leaving no space to even set foot on.

Apart from the two individuals, the entire Barrier was steeped in deathly silence. The space was permeated with the aura of death, augmented by the corpses of insects on the ground. It could arguably be considered the deadliest poison in the world. At least within sight, the green grass on the ground and the distant green trees had withered and died, and even the tree trunks had oozed black liquid, a manifestation of the death aura seeping into them.

Shangjia Moti closed his eyes, and his voluminous Taoist robe puffed up rapidly like a bellows. His hands spread open, fingers splayed, the two large hands paused mid-air. As his arms were raised, the insects on the ground also began to slowly float up, forming a dense thick layer suspended in mid-air. Countless Gu insect remnants spread throughout the Barrier, leaving only the smallest gaps around the two standing figures; everywhere else was overtaken by the remains of the insects.

Ye Tian looked at the floating Gu insect remnants in front of him and frowned.

A muffled booming sound spread throughout the air, originating from Shangjia Moti’s mouth. Ye Tian exerted a slight force, creating an invisible, invisible ring around him that was just a mere ten centimeters away from his body. To outsiders, this ring seemed ordinary and unremarkable, but in reality, it was the product of Ye Tian’s immense effort.

A person only has one life. Having died and been revived, Ye Tian cherished his life even more than others. For this so-called Seizing Body Conference, apart from falling down from the top of a great tree every day, Ye Tian also unearthed some treasures from the piles of dusty Scriptures at the Great Zen Master’s place, such as this Buddha’s Mantra Vajra Ring.

The Scriptures stated that once the Vajra Ring was mastered, it could protect against all things. Indeed, Ye Tian’s cultivation time was too short to achieve invulnerability to all, but he had managed with great effort to reach a resistance to hundreds of things—at least he could handle these small insects.
