Chapter 563: 562

Indeed, the Red Armor Talisman General who was approaching step by step began to gradually draw in water. The torrential rain around seemed to be the perfect weapon for the one in red armor, continuously supplying everything. When the coiled Water Dragon was forming in the sky once again, a bamboo stick smashed down from mid-air, hitting the middle of the Water Dragon Pillar. The nascent Water Dragon was broken before it could fully form, causing the Red Armor Talisman General opposite to stagger a step back.

"Zhang Liang, damn your ancestors! Is this someone you sent?"

A bamboo stick a zhang long fell from the sky, breaking the Water Dragon, and it was exactly what was in Zhang Liang’s hands. Thieves calling out to catch thieves was something Ye Tian had done quite a bit himself, and nearly all the little tricks between people had left an impression in his heart.

Ye Tian has always been unafraid to speculate about others with the worst of malice.

It is a trait he takes pride in.

"This isn’t my man," Zhang Liang coldly spoke, not even deigning to glance at Ye Tian, but showed more interest in the arm that had been chopped off on the ground. Stepping on it, he pushed it into the mud. Lifting his foot, the arm was covered by layers of dead leaves.

Ye Tian also understood that now was not the time to quarrel. He struggled to stand up, moving his body a bit. The situation was almost as he expected. Although he had been thrown out, he had not suffered any serious injuries. After recovering for two breaths, he had already regained most of his strength.

Ye Tian believed in Zhang Liang’s denial. He didn’t before, but from the moment Zhang Liang helped him, he began to believe.

This guy wants him dead, but would not let him die at someone else’s hand. Such a vicious guy!

Ye Tian was furious inside. He had long known that this guy had arranged people in the back mountain, but he didn’t expose it, because there were only a few people anyway. Compared to the previous Twelve Earthly Branches, they were fewer in number and weaker in aura. They should not be experts.

"All these are Red Armored Death Soldiers. It should be because some spiritual beings appeared on the mountain that lured these things out."

Zhang Liang said this coldly upfront, not caring whether Ye Tian behind him heard clearly or not, just casually stabbing the bamboo pole next to him into the ground. The zhang-long bamboo sank more than a foot into the earth. It was the first time he showed such skill, causing Ye Tian standing behind to stow his contempt for the first time, murmuring that this guy doesn’t just talk, he indeed may have some true skills.

Just as Ye Tian wanted to ask him for a solution, he suddenly saw Zhang Liang’s shoulders twitch, followed by clasping his hands in front of his chest. Ye Tian, curious, stretched his neck and walked forward to see what he was doing.

Zhang Liang’s two palms and ten fingers formed various seals in front of his chest, seemingly casting a spell. With closed eyes, his two lips kept moving, speaking silently. Ye Tian couldn’t understand, and the voice was very low. From his lip shape, it didn’t seem like Huaxia language, more like a spell from some sect.

Suddenly, a tearing sound came from the ground. A pile-shaped heap of yellowed bamboo leaves emerged from between the piles of dead leaves on the ground. The round shape was easily reminiscent of a human head, except, it wasn’t a person, it was a Dead Man.

Slowly, as if struggling, another Red Armored Death Soldier, the one whose arm had just been taken by Ye Tian, burrowed out from underground. When he stood fully in front of Ye Tian, Ye Tian realized that these two in red armor were exactly alike.

"Are there others?"

Suddenly, Zhang Liang bit his thumb, quickly knelt down, pressing that thumb onto the ground. Although Ye Tian didn’t understand what this action was for, he could see threads behind the two Red Armored figures stained with black flame, extending backward along the thread. As the thin line burned, the two Death Soldiers who were indestructible moments ago instantly turned into a pool of blood, washed away swiftly by the heavy rain.

"After him!"

Without waiting for Zhang Liang to speak, Ye Tian leapt out like a cheetah. He was more interested in the person behind Zhang Liang. As a government agent, it’s improbable he didn’t know how big the support behind him was. Since he couldn’t act against Zhang Liang, the only target was himself.

Damn it, I’m just a kid who has just returned to the embrace of the motherland, how did I provoke you!

With anger surging in his heart, Ye Tian couldn’t help feeling furious. In his rage, his steps generated wind as he adamantly pursued the trail marked by the black smoke, probably due to some secret method used by Zhang Liang. The black flame didn’t extinguish even with the downpour, and the heavy rain automatically avoided Ye Tian within a foot around him, not wetting his body in the slightest. Zhang Liang, who was trailing behind, saw this scene and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. Who said this youngster got lucky with just half a move? This kid is quite formidable!

Crossing through the dense bamboo forest and the lush shrubs, Ye Tian didn’t stop, only wishing to catch the thin thread urgently. Sadly, in the end, he lost the thread with black smoke at the edge of a cliff.

The exasperated Ye Tian kicked and smashed the stone at his feet.

"Don’t be angry, he’ll come back sooner or later."

Hearing the voice of Zhang Liang from behind, Ye Tian turned around and asked, "Do you know who he is? And what’s the deal with those Red Armored Death Soldiers?"

Zhang Liang shook his head, "Don’t know. I only know that those Red Armored Death Soldiers are mountain ghosts recorded in archives. Generally speaking, they only activate their defenses after being subject to a strong external force. As for killing, it really hasn’t happened before, or else we wouldn’t have left them here."

"What are those things?"

"Some ancient soldiers who died in battle, left behind due to the dampness and death Qi of the mountain, also known as ’zombies.’ It’s just the ’mountain ghosts’ as referred to by the folks. However, there have never been incidents of them hurting people recorded in their files, so they were just registered without any action. This time being utilized, their records probably need to be revised."

"Kill them directly?"

"It’s a complex process, can’t be explained in a short while. Let’s return and discuss it at length."

Zhang Liang turned and walked away coldly, leaving Ye Tian watching his retreating figure, unable to articulate the mixed feelings in his heart.

There was a feeling of seeing others boast triumphantly while he could only churn with emotions inside.

Ye Tian admitted he was indeed somewhat jealous of Zhang Liang, not for his skills, but for his ability to call on various hands to aid himself composedly.
