Free Web NovelZhao Yi: "According to normal logic, this thing is afraid of dying... no, it's even afraid of getting hurt."
A puppet summoned from underground, if it's broken, it's broken, as long as it completes its purpose, even if it gets destroyed here, it's not heartbreaking.
But it's doing things too blatantly, treating itself too dear, which goes against common sense.
Li Zhiyuan: "Do you remember the black patterns that appeared under its feet at the start?"
Zhao Yi: "I've been replaying and analyzing it in my head, haven't concluded yet, but soon..."
Li Zhiyuan: "I deduced it."
Zhao Yi: "Oh."
Li Zhiyuan: "Next time when you're beside me, don't think about anything I haven't made you think about, save your brainpower for me."
Zhao Yi: "..."
Li Zhiyuan: "That's a summoning array."
Zhao Yi: "I know."
Li Zhiyuan: "It's a real summoning, not operating behind the scenes."
Zhao Yi: "Huh?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Someone has come, he, is now inside the Tomb Master's body." frёewebηovel.cѳm
Zhao Yi: "Damn!"
Even for someone from Jiujiang Zhao, not having such a filtered view on myth, being faced with someone rumored to be one of the ten halls... he's still deeply shocked.
This way, the original illogical things are explainable.
It's not the Tomb Master itself being precious, what truly doesn't want to get hurt is the one inside.
Zhao Yi: "The way he arrived must be special, once injured, it would greatly affect and harm him."
Li Zhiyuan: "Ghost Generals can be sent out to die anytime, they can easily disassociate and avoid causality. One might even say, those generals sent out were meant to be mere cannon fodder, even if they successfully kill us, their fate after returning to Fengdu is predetermined.
Now, he's hiding inside, also avoiding the gaze of Heavenly Dao, choosing the most extreme way."
Even Emperor Fengdu can only be confined in Fengdu, there's no reason for his truly powerful subordinates to roam free.
Zhao Yi: "Seems the failure of the first two attempts has greatly stimulated those six."
In the next moment,
Lin Shuyou stepped forward a few steps, leaving his position, coming up to match Run Sheng's position.
Run Sheng held the Yellow River Shovel, Lin Shuyou held the Double Mace.
Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng retreated to stand before Li Zhiyuan, Tan Wenbin spread his hands wide, brewing black mist, his eyes becoming snake-like.
Yin Meng's whip coiled around a pot of "dinner" prepared earlier, with her other hand holding poison jars.
Under Li Zhiyuan's command, the original traditional formation was dismantled.
Zhao Yi: "Are you confident you can do this?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Should... be able to. Through my coordination, I can make their attacks work simultaneously."
With the red line connection, the team's cooperation can surpass that of twins.
After knowing who's inside the Tomb Master, this has already become an asymmetrical battle.
Thus, what can be done is to target what it's afraid of>and focus on that.
You can kill my people, but you must take injury, let's see if you're willing to bear the cost.
Zhao Yi: "Li, you are really considerate, honestly."
Li Zhiyuan lowered his head, looking at his right palm, blood was brewing anew, ready to assist through the array like before, ensuring the safety of his teammates.
The young man: "If he's really willing to pay the cost... I'll leave you, you should die reluctantly."
Zhao Yi nodded: "Mm, I understand."
Li Zhiyuan: "Next, remember my breathing rate; Run Sheng and Ah You are the main force, Binbin and Yin Meng are to remain before me for a strike, you must match with me to act as emergency response."
Zhao Yi: "How about giving me a red line?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Dream on."
Unless Zhao Yi admits defeat twice, mutual trust and obedience between Jiang Shangren won't happen.
Zhao Yi closed his eyes, starting to familiarize and grasp the breathing rhythm of the young man beside him.
The Tomb Master approached.
Li Zhiyuan did not wait for the opponent to come close but had Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou launch an attack early.
At the moment of attack, Li Zhiyuan went into high alert.
Following the previous attack route of the Liang Sisters, Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou dispersed first, then each approached from the left and right flanks.
Run Sheng didn't care who the enemy was before him, as long as Xiao Yuan asked him to strike anyone, he'd do it, even if it was the Heavenly King.
Lin Shuyou had a more nuanced inner drama.
Mostly because of the child.
Child: "I, I, I seem to, seem to smell the presence of that kind of existence..."
Lin Shuyou: "Be quiet."
Child: "Do you know who might be inside that body?"
Lin Shuyou: "Focus."
Child: "We might die."
Lin Shuyou: "Shut up!"
Child: "But being able to swing the mace at him is really exciting, hahaha!"
Lin Shuyou realized he was over thinking, he thought the child was habitually cowardly again.
Turns out, the child was excited.
As a former Ghost King, the child is naturally familiar with the Underworld, back during the confrontation on the tide flats, the Ghost General directly told him "Why rush towards the end."
The child would have been timid in the past, but now, having seen the world, back then in the Zhoushan seabed, he knelt for a while, but later stood again, and that kneeling was because he sensed the presence of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Thanks to Lin Shuyou never sealing the child away, the child had always known where they were heading, providing an ongoing mental preparation.
Having had his threshold increased, even facing beings he wouldn't dare provoke before, he now dares to strike.
The Tomb Master's initial speed didn't change; as Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou approached, it first looked at Run Sheng, then at Lin Shuyou.
Immediately after, it kept turning its head.
It should be looking for their attack timing gap, even a tiny slip in timing would give it the opportunity.
But the problem is... it's completely synchronized.
Different weapons, different movements, different attack styles, yet they all seem to land on it simultaneously.
The Tomb Master stopped.
Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou also made quick adjustments.
The Tomb Master retreated a step.
Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou adjusted once more.
Finally,
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The shovel and the mace, two heavy strikes, landed simultaneously.
The Tomb Master raised its arms, not attacking, just blocking.
Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou retreated together, the Tomb Master lowered its arms and stepped forward again, while Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou launched another attack.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The Tomb Master blocked once more, without attacking.
This way, the scene fell into dynamic stalemate.
But for Li Zhiyuan's side, it was essentially walking on a tightrope.
Li Zhiyuan had to be fully concentrated, observing and analyzing battlefield changes, giving commands to Ah You and Run Sheng, and they had to quickly respond, any misstep captured by the opponent would lead to a miserable fate.
Zhao Yi opened his eyes, if he carefully sensed, he'd find his breathing matched the young man's beside him, their breaths almost synchronized.
"Do you need brains?"
"Not for now."
"Must find a way to break the stalemate, if it continues like this... well, it is a way, I don't believe he can maintain this state indefinitely."
"Brother Runsheng and Ah You have endurance, can hold on for a long time, then we will take turns allowing them to rest, breaking the stalemate... isn't the most important thing for now."
"True, if we really injure him, and he decides to retaliate..."
It was quite amusing, the one inside the Tomb Master couldn't stand getting hurt, and Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Yi here didn't want it hurt either.
If the beast cherishes its feathers, let it continue cherishing, while here we negotiate and prohibit throwing mud.
This mysterious thread lies here, essentially because it doesn't match with their current stage, the opponent they are facing is simply too formidable.
However, things didn't develop as Li Zhiyuan hoped, or perhaps the young man, despite greatly overestimating, still underestimated the opponent's initiative. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The time hadn't passed long, Run Sheng and Ah You were far from reaching exhaustion stage.
The opponent made a change first.
Under the Tomb Master's foot, the black pattern appeared again; in an instant, the blood line on its brow turned from one to two.
Zhao Yi widened his eyes: "This is, another one has come!"
And two lines weren't the end; soon, a third blood line emerged.
"The third one has arrived..."
