Xiao Manxue's shock and confusion at this moment were no less than anyone else's. Although she had seen Lin Tian's purple flames before, she didn't know that the eruption of these flames was even more thrilling than last time.

"Could Lin Tian be the legendary Demon Swordsman?" Zhu Li exclaimed in wonder.

"Impossible. Magic has long been lost, leaving only some witchcraft behind. Demon Swordsman is a combination of magic and swordsman, and is a legend within legends. Lin Tian can't possibly be a Demon Swordsman, right?" A team member said in disbelief.

"Mentor, what profession do you think this Lin Tian from the East actually has?" The team members turned to Reina and Mark.

Reina looked at the Flame Giant Sword in Lin Tian's hand and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either, but ever since he came to Holy Spirit Town, strange events have been happening, leaving people baffled."

With her words, everyone looked at Lin Tian with an added sense of mystery.

At this moment, Lin Tian couldn't care less about how they speculated. The massive whirlwind had descended, and within it, countless Blood-sucking Bats swirled and flew, their teeth and claws on bat wings like countless sharp blades, creating an unmistakable Sword Blade Storm.

Anything caught in such a Sword Blade Storm would be shattered. Reina and Mark managed to hold their ground just now, truly deserving the title of Sword Saint Level masters.

"Sword Energy Cross!"

In the stunned gaze of everyone, Lin Tian charged into the center of the whirlwind. Then a dazzling purple light erupted from the center of the whirlwind, and every bat lit by the purple light ignited. In just a blink, the whirlwind transformed into a Fire Tornado.

The enormous Fire Tornado swept through everything around it, turning flowers and plants to ash, scorching the earth, evaporating the creek water, and baking the mud into solid blocks.

In the center of the battlefield, Lin Tian was also stunned by the power of this "Sword Energy Cross." Previously, he lacked True Qi and could only mimic the form of Sword Energy Cross. Though the sword shadows crisscrossed, they lacked the maximum power of Sword Qi.

But this time, the purple flame was mightier than Sword Light, causing bats to burn fiercely upon contact. The energy it radiated was terrifyingly potent. Now, not only ordinary people but even an Ancient Martial Artist could not get close, unless they reached Tang Ziqing's level.

Compared to the massive explosive scene, the Sword Spirit was shouting loudly, and of course, from its typical nature, it wasn't exclaiming at the power of Lin Tian's moves but was immersed in the absorption of energy.

"Awesome, so awesome! I've never absorbed such high-quality energy before; those past energies were all trash." The Sword Spirit shouted exaggeratedly, completely at odds with its regal image.

Lin Tian, still somewhat at leisure, took the opportunity to joke: "So you're saying, the energy you absorbed from King Arthur is trash?"

"Uh, well, King Arthur's energy was quite okay, I guess." The Sword Spirit replied awkwardly; although it was being stubborn, its tone revealed its true thoughts, showing that Arthur's energy can't compare to the power of fire.

Lin Tian again showed disdain for this guy, but he didn't engage in banter. Instead, he raised the Flame Giant Sword in his hand high and slashed it down forcefully.

Everyone outside could only see a sword light coming down from above. With just one slash, the Fire Tornado was split in half, and all the bats fell burning. A giant shadow flew out from the tornado, crashing against the castle gate's walls with a boom, directly penetrating the stone wall and flying into the castle.

Lin Tian also revealed himself, standing on the scorched land. The flame on the Flame Giant Sword in his hand faded, and under the astonished gazes of other team members, the sword started to shed layers, eventually crumbling into fragments.

"Lin Tian, you can't blame me. This big sword is merely ordinary; I've reached my limit, given your energy is too fierce." The Sword Spirit's voice sounded, indicating it had done its best.

Lin Tian threw away the sword hilt, saying calmly, "Enduring two strikes is quite impressive."

"Alas, such a pity..." The Sword Spirit sighed.

"Pity for what? Weren't you absorbing energy? Aren't you satisfied?" Lin Tian conveyed his surprise at the spirit, which moments before had been reveling in the energy's intensity.

"No, in front of me is the world's most delectable food, but I'm full after eating a little bit and can't eat more. Isn't that a pity?" The Sword Spirit lamented.

"You can only absorb a small amount of energy?" Lin Tian asked.

"It's not exactly small; it's just that your energy is extraordinary, and after absorbing a bit, I feel full. Its quality is very high. But looking ahead at so much unabsorbed energy is quite regrettable." The Sword Spirit replied, dissatisfied.

"Don't regret it. As long as you work hard for me in the future, you'll definitely benefit." Lin Tian tempted, feeling like he was coaxing a little kid.

"Really?" The Sword Spirit was delighted but quickly changed its tone: "But I can't be corrupted by your temptations. We'll discuss this later."

With that, the Sword Spirit fell silent. Lin Tian just smiled, didn't continue persuading, since he held the energy the Sword Spirit needed, he wouldn't worry about 'corrupting' it eventually.

Seeing Lin Tian stand still, the people behind inferred he was injured, and Xiao Manxue asked, "Lin Tian, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Don't come over; I'm going inside to see if Clark is dead." Lin Tian waved his hand without turning back and ran towards the castle.

Following clues of the castle's destruction, Lin Tian quickly found Clark, the vampire who had happened to fall into the castle hall. A large gaping hole in the hall's dome marked where Clark had smashed through.

Clark lay motionless on the floor, life or death unknown. Lin Tian approached, turned him over, and upon seeing his face, jumped back in surprise. Clark's chest down to his abdomen bore a lengthy wound, his chest bone shattered completely, and internal organs were visible through the wound.

Strangely, the wound didn't bleed, and all was charred black and carbonized. Such an injury has practically gutted him, looking thoroughly terrifying.

Nonetheless, despite the severity, Clark hadn't died. After being turned over, he even opened his eyes to look at Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, rest assured, I'm beyond saving. Your flame's destructive power is too strong; I can't heal myself." Clark said weakly.

"If I say I can bring you back to life, would you be willing?" Lin Tian said calmly.

Back then, Rossi had been saved from near-death by the purple flame of the Purple Flame Gold Sword with zombie blood. Lin Tian could use zombie blood to save Clark similarly. Clark was harmed by the fire power of Nu Ba's line, so the zombie blood from Nu Ba's line should naturally heal him.

However, Clark's obsession ran deep; if he came back as a murderous demon, why should Lin Tian waste zombie blood, only to kill him again later?
