Chapter 1213 – Endless Battlefield -Part 8

"You are trolling her, aren't you?" Byakko sent a telepathic message to Ming as he too walked up right towards him and sat right beside the bench. "What you said about necromancy and the magic spell which Jin did is basically the same concept."

"She was in rage, her mind would not be able to process everything. The most important issue was that she kept calm in this current fight. Won't want her to enter the ring because of some silly past she had." Ming placed his hand on Bakkyo and stroked his back. The fur released a tingle of electricity as his hand clawed down his fur.

"Well, that was one of the major turning points why she never trusted humans ever again." Byakko said and side eyed Ming for a moment before focusing back at the match right in front of them. "With the exception of you I guess."

"What can I say? I am quite a charmer with girls of exceptional powers." Ming tried to contain his laughter but it caused Byakko to snort immediately at the reply.

"More like if you did not have me and the rest of the gang, you probably won't be able to convince her. You have much to be thankful for."

"The one who should be thanking all of you is Jin since he would be the one that would be inheriting your help." Ming said as he saw a misstep from Jin that nearly caused his life but a 'zombie' charged forward to mitigate the blow for him.

"Hence there's a saying that is as old as time. Parents will sacrifice anything and everything for their offspring but not the other way around." Byakko said as he was surprised how Jin was actually doing a follow up combo attack with one of the cultivator zombies to stop Faceless Zeru from activating his Lotus technique. Unfortunately, he did not prevail as Faceless Zeru was not only able to kill the zombie cultivator who charged in but also initiated his Advanced Lotus Technique which sprouted a series of vines with lotus blooming throughout the room.

This time around the Faceless Zeru did not care for friend or foe as his Advanced Lotus Technique exploded throughout his vicinity, killing a majority of the zombie cultivators as well as the faceless soldiers. Jin, on the other hand, hid behind one of the tombstones for cover while transferring more of his chi into it, forcing it to change its magic from zombie raising to a fire spewing cannon.

The wave of flames emerged from the tombstone in an attempt to burn the lotus flowers and while its effect was effective at the start, Faceless Zeru already had began his counter by sending out more of the lotus vines right towards Jin's location swiftly. The high velocity that the vines were moving was able to overcome the flames the tombstone was spewing and it went straight for Jin.

"Looks like it's the end for Jin. Once those vines grabbed him, the lotus blooming on the vines would cause him to die a thousand times." Suzaku relished his death for the 'sins' of defiling her endless battlefield regardless of Ming's explanation.

"I would not bet on that if I were you." Ming continued to keep Suzaku in check as he conjured a bottle of water and quietly drank a few sips before passing to Suzaku. She unknowingly picked it up and drank the entire bottle before burning it.

"She's literally burning with rage." Byakko saw the scene as though it was a warning to act when Ming gave the heads up but to his surprise, Jin's grandfather was rather calm about the current situation. "Do you want me to get Genbu to cool her down?"

"No worries about it. Let's enjoy the fight for now." Ming said as the climax came the vines swarming towards Jin suddenly got repelled. The tombstone that was initially spewing fire suddenly changed its element to wind. It caused an accidental tornado inferno but the most important thing of all was that the vines were not able to reach Jin before anything bad could happen.

At the same time, Faceless Zeru flew right into the scene since he was sure that Jin was still within that tornado inferno until he found out that vines of the very same nature were shot out from the tornado too.

"Have you forgotten that I can copy skills?!" Jin said as the tornado dissipated and his sword had indeed came a bunch of vines going towards him and the panda silhouettes above him portrayed themselves sleeping in a flower bed of lotus with the exception of one of the smaller pandas playing at the top of the giant panda.

"Hah! You think Zeru would lose to an inferior copy of his skills?" Suzaku exclaimed, believing the end is nigh. However, as the vines approached Zeru, the portrayal of panda silhouettes somehow changed midway as the active smaller panda dived into the flowerbed causing a change in scene to be a bed of bellflowers instead.

Suzaku was vaguely confused at that point since she did not remember sending any faceless soldier with such a technique but Ming chuckled at Jin's creativity. He vaguely recalled from the constant probing of his memories that he had an active customer with the bellflower cultivation style. "Even without seeing with his transverse, does not mean he cannot replicate based on memories now that he learnt how to imitate styles with his Astral Pandas."

The technique which Jin released was ironic as the name attached to the bellflowers. The vines had a series of bells attached when the flowers bloomed when approaching Zeru. The systematic ringing of the bells somehow incapacitated Faceless Zeru disabling his movements and hence allowing the vines to pierce through Zeru.

Or..that was what Jin thought it was able to do. The faceless Zeru somehow managed to break the stun at the very last moment, forcing Jin to change his Maqi to command two of the vines to grab hold of his legs while the third to puncture it.. The rest were cut down mercilessly by the master swordsman but to be able to injure the Faceless Zeru was already a win in Jin's eyes as he charged forward, hoping to have a better chance against his current opponent.
