Chapter 282

This advent came too decisively and quickly.

In fact, when the second blood line appeared, Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi realized what would happen next.

The possibility of a drastic increase in strength is extremely small, because the absolute strength displayed by the tomb owner now is enough, and it can even be said to be a bit excessive.

Therefore, it would be meaningless to have one more person come simply to fill the level of strength.

And we also have to consider the carrying capacity of the tomb owner's body. Even if his face is suitable for the attachment of the Yin Cha, there has to be a limit to how suitable it is.

Therefore, the most direct changes that this advent can bring should be targeted at the rules.

When there is only one owner in the body of the tomb, it is restricted by the rule of "three incense sticks" and can only lock onto one opponent at the same time.

It was also with this point that Li Zhuiyuan allowed Runsheng and Lin Shuyou to successfully confront the tomb owner.

Now, the rules are broken.

When the second one arrives, the tomb owner can lock two opponents at the same time, and when the third one arrives, the number of opponents the tomb owner can lock simultaneously increases to three.

If Li Zhuiyuan wants to maintain the previous balance, he has to add one more person to this basis, that is, send four people.

There were actually enough people. Tan Wenbin, Yin Meng and the boy were bound by a red line and could also do it synchronously. However, they were previously arranged in front of the boy to guard against a possible sneak attack by the tomb owner.

Zhao Yi beside him has also completed the breath synchronization and can be used as a reserve.

But at the moment, it is obviously impossible to ask them to appear at the front line and join the battle instantly.

The boy has mastered the formation and can join the battlefield immediately, but even with him, the front line will only be three to three in a short period of time, which does not meet the conditions for balanced suppression.

Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng rushed forward quickly, but Zhao Yi was faster than them.

But the situation on the other side has changed.

The Liang sisters were hit hard earlier, but it only happened in a moment.

Moreover, the reason why the opponent came so quickly was also because he was stimulated by this balanced style of play. If he wanted to break the situation, he naturally knew how to seize the opportunity.

In an instant, Runsheng and Lin Shuyou both felt like they were being completely targeted.

During the previous fight, this feeling was only intermittent and had little impact, but now, the "eyes" were falling on them completely and continuously.

The tomb owner stretched out a hand, but Runsheng ignored it and did not follow the other party's rhythm. He just swung the shovel horizontally towards the tomb owner's torso.

But even with such a swift shovel, it still missed.

The tomb owner turned sideways in mid-air, perfectly avoiding the shovel. At the same time, he kicked his legs and moved ahead of time, just in time to step on the double maces that Lin Shuyou smashed at him in coordination with Runsheng's attack.

The next moment, the tomb owner grabbed Runsheng's Yellow River shovel and pulled it back quickly.

Runsheng decisively let go of the shovel, but as soon as the shovel left his hands, a huge suction force appeared out of nowhere, causing his hands to stick to the shovel handle again. His body lost its center of gravity and was pulled forward.

The tomb owner twisted his legs, entangled Lin Shuyou's double maces, and then bent his knees to retract them.

Like Runsheng, Lin Shuyou also chose to discard his weapons at the first moment, because it was too unwise to engage in close combat with an existence whose absolute strength was far superior to his own.

But at the same time, a strong wind appeared around Lin Shuyou, forcing him to continue leaning forward.

The owner of the tomb with three blood lines between his eyebrows once again demonstrated his amazing strength.

In the next step, he grabbed Runsheng’s chest with his fingers and twisted his legs around Lin Shuyou’s neck.

Runsheng's physique was very strong, and Lin Shuyou's True Lord body was also not bad, but at this moment, they both sensed an extremely obvious life-and-death crisis.

Although the Liang sisters are not known for their physique, the two girls are very skilled in close combat, and they also have protective items brought from the Liang family. There are even formation patterns painted on the lining of each of them for self-defense at critical moments.

But all these seemed pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength. Liang Yan's abdomen was pierced before she could react. Liang Li, in her attempt to attack Wei from Wei to save Zhao, had to watch helplessly as the other party turned her offensive into a "counterattack."

Therefore, although Runsheng and Lin Shuyou are much better than them in this respect, they still appear pale and powerless in the face of such a huge gap.

However, although Li Zhuiyuan's reinforcements could not arrive in time, he still decisively issued remedial measures.

At this critical moment, Runsheng's valves were fully opened!

Lin Shuyou tensed his back, squeezed two muscles, and the talisman needle broke through the box and pierced into his body!
After experiencing the infusion of resentment under the Zhenjun Temple and the settling down under the peach forest, the evil spirit in Runsheng's body became more violent, thus greatly reducing the preparation time before the valve was fully opened.

Lin Shuyou was just idle, so he and the boy worked together to figure out the various ways to use the talisman needles.

The boy went from initially resisting the needles and considering them ashamed to tacitly accepting them, and now actively embracing them.

As the threshold for facing powerful opponents continues to rise, the bottom line is also being broken step by step.

In the past, Runsheng with his valve fully opened was enough to charge around, and Baihe with talisman needles all over his body could also look down on his surroundings.

But this time, the purpose of revealing the trump card is just to survive, and on this basis, to preserve oneself as much as possible.

Runsheng let out an angry roar, and the Huanghe shovel turned over and moved backwards.

Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils turned completely red, his two maces crossed, and he used his own strength and the repulsive force of the two maces to retreat hard.

The tomb owner's fingers still pierced Runsheng's chest, and its legs still clamped Lin Shuyou's neck.

"boom."

The power of the formation bombarded down.

A circle of black ghosts appeared around the tomb owner and worshiped him. The ghosts quickly twisted and turned into nothingness, helping him to withstand the impact of the formation.

However, the heavy pressure from the underlying effect of the formation still acted on it, causing its movements to be slightly slower than before.

Runsheng escaped. The tomb owner knew that he would not have enough time to crush the opponent's heart with this move, so he could only wave his fingers casually at the moment when they left the opponent's chest.

"His..."

With a sharp sound, a large piece of flesh on Runsheng's right chest melted away like ice and snow placed in the scorching sun.

He didn't have time to strangle Lin Shuyou's neck with his legs, so he had to settle for the next best thing and kicked Lin Shuyou in the chest.

The sound of broken bones came one after another, like the firecrackers lit by village children during the New Year.

Runsheng, who had escaped the moment of death, held on to the Yellow River shovel in front of him to maintain his balance, with blood gushing out from his chest.

Lin Shuyou stabbed his two maces into the ground behind him, offsetting the impact, then swung them hard, leaned forward, and spat out fragments from his mouth.

Neither of them had time to adjust themselves or treat their injuries. After taking a breath, they immediately raised their weapons again.

Tan Wenbin took his position next to Runsheng, while Yin Meng stayed next to Lin Shuyou, completing the four-man lineup.

Zhao Yi arrived the earliest, but did not leave the battlefield.

Because there is still a certain probability of errors here, so it is better to put the original version first. If there is no support in any part, he can take over and fill in the gap.

His attention fell on Yin Meng.

Although Runsheng and Lin Shuyou were injured, they also revealed their cards and entered the countdown to their final form, but the first one to be unable to hold on should be Yin Meng.

Because this kind of suppression requires a stable attack intensity as a prerequisite, Yin Meng's current only attack method is poison, but this cannot last long.

However, what made Zhao Yi feel a little frightened was that even in such a critical situation, Mr. Li still noticed and arranged Yin Meng to Lin Shuyou's side, just to prevent her from being too close to Runsheng and the possibility of "acting on impulse".

In the back, Li Zhuiyuan's face had turned pale. He had just forced the amplification formation to activate again, which was equivalent to sacrificing another wave of blood.

Fortunately, although it was full of holes and uneven, the dam was still repaired.

Just as expected, the tomb owner's strength has improved. If it had been before, the Liang sisters would have been dead for sure with no chance of survival. However, this improvement is far more than just one plus two, otherwise Runsheng and Lin Shuyou would not have survived.

In fact, although the boy never moved his position, he was indeed the most tired one in the whole game.

If it weren't for him, the third incense stick wouldn't have been so troublesome. Maybe Zhao Yi's body would have been collected by the Liang sisters and taken away to Jiujiang.

Li Zhuiyuan's eyes gradually turned cold.

If before, he really wanted to do as Zhao Yi said and endure this period of time and consider it over, then now, he has changed his mind.

In an asymmetric battle, the wisest move is to protect yourself as much as possible. But when things have come to this point, if you let them come and go as they please, it would seem that you are too easy to bully.

Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, including those six people, being able to hold on for three incense sticks without anyone dying is already quite impressive and a very proud achievement.

But right now, these are your waves after all. No matter how excessive or unreasonable these waves are, as a river traveler, you have to show the temper you should have.

"Since you are here... don't be in such a hurry to leave this time."

A new round of confrontation begins again.

Runsheng, Lin Shuyou, Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng launched an attack at the same time.

Lines of blood appeared on Tan Wenbin's body, and the power of the blood ape was revealed. Every time his body jumped up and fell, it made a lot of noise, which was to increase the intensity of the attack.

Theoretically speaking, Tan Wenbin, who possesses the power of the four spiritual beasts, is still not suitable for rushing to the front line to fight. Relying on the effects of his facial features, he is more suitable for the role of disrupting the battle situation than when he relied on his two godsons in the past.

The power of the blood ape is burning his own blood. It looks extremely ferocious at the moment, but its duration is much shorter than that of Runsheng and Lin Shuyou.

But no matter what, it’s better than Mengmeng.

In the first round, the four players cooperated perfectly.

The tomb owner, who did not want to get hurt, took a completely defensive approach, placing his hands in front of him to neutralize all attacks, including the midnight snack that Yin Meng invited him to eat, which was also isolated from outside.

In the second round of fighting, Yin Meng could only rely on the poison jar and entered the inventory clearance mode.

The third round, the fourth round...

Zhao Yi stood behind and watched it all coldly.

The existence time of the tomb owner must be limited. What is unclear now is whether the time will be extended after two more people are born.

It seems that there is no extension, otherwise the tomb owner's attack frequency would not be so fast.

It was obvious that the situation of Runsheng and Lin Shuyou was unsustainable. If it wanted to, it could have stopped the attack and just stood there and confronted each other, but it did not do so because it did not dare to gamble with time.

Continuously launch attacks, and then choose to fully defend at the moment of engagement, the purpose is to consume the opponent's weaknesses.

It could be Yin Meng’s poison jar, or it could be Tan Wenbin’s condition.

If it really thinks so, and no one else can come later, then it will fill its place, and someone named Li will fill his place, and they will be able to hold on until the end.

Zhao Yi was really touched this time. It was obvious that abandoning himself was the most cost-effective and simple option, but the man named Li did not do so.

If he were to ask himself, if he were in Li's shoes, Zhao Yi didn't think he could be as kind as Mr. Li.

The battle situation at the front was relatively stable, so Zhao Yi took the time to look back at the man surnamed Li, thinking of giving him a grateful smile.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li stood there with his eyelids half covered, expressionless.

Ok?
Something seemed a little bit wrong, and Zhao Yi felt vaguely uneasy.

But this was not the time to chat, he had to focus on the battlefield again. After a few more rounds of fighting, Yin Meng's eyes showed anxiety, her stock... was almost empty.

Every time she uses poison, she has to prepare it. The arrangement and combination are random, but the quantity must be sufficient. If you ask her to take one or two poison cans and throw out a poison with a strong enough effect, she has tried, but she really can't do it.

Tan Wenbin's condition also began to go downhill. In order to save energy and blood, he would restrain himself after one attack and ignite it again for the next attack. This was like driving his body like a car and using his blood like oil.

Zhao Yi is ready to replace Yin Meng. As for Tan Wenbin, he will be replaced by someone named Li.

But before Yin Meng could finish his attack, Li Zhuiyuan behind him spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee instead of standing.

The others were concentrating on the battle at hand and had no time to be distracted. Zhao Yi noticed this scene.

He knew that Mr. Li was very tired, but based on his understanding and confidence in Mr. Li, he shouldn't have collapsed so quickly.

There are definitely no specific values ​​and fine scales, but the style of Li's painting should be that he finally made it through, and the three people in the tomb owner's body left, and when everyone was exhausted or unconscious on the ground, he opened the Jianlibao with a "puff".

What, you can’t do it this time?

Liang Yan and Liang Li came over. Although they still had the strength to fight, joining the battle at this moment would only cause more trouble.

One of them took out some pills and the other took out a porcelain bottle, wondering if they could help maintain the boy's condition.

Li Zhuiyuan ignored them and just maintained his current posture, looking forward and watching the battle.

Relying on the red line, various instructions are still being issued.

But the boy's eyes were gradually losing their luster. He was still looking, but had lost focus.

Blood flowed from the boy's nose.

People who are familiar with Li Zhuiyuan know that this is a sign that the teenager is entering a state of overdraft.

Nosebleed is just the initial stage of overdraft. Once the eyes start bleeding, it becomes really serious.

The Liang sisters looked at each other, wanting to help, but they didn't dare to move. Even if they wanted to wipe a bloody nose, they were afraid of blocking the boy's sight and interrupting his thinking.

But at this moment, the boy's condition was too critical. The battle situation ahead was related to Zhao Yi's life and death.

The two sisters looked at each other again, understood each other's decision, and then sat down next to Li Zhuiyuan, one on the left and one on the right.

The two of them cut their palms with a sharp weapon, dipped the index finger of their other hand in enough blood, and then slapped their bleeding palms on the ground. Bloody runes gathered into a formation, like red earthworms, crawling up their wrists to their bodies and then flowing on their faces.

Then, the two girls raised their hands at the same time, facing the young man in the middle.

The essence was extracted from the body and dispersed in front of the body. Most of it was dissipated and wasted, and only a small part approached the boy's body for him to absorb.

This is a method with extremely low cost-effectiveness. From a practical point of view, it is really a drop in the bucket, but it is also the only thing they can do at present.

Having already been seriously injured before, and now under such pressure on themselves, the two girls' originally fair skin gradually turned dark yellow, and then became rough, and crow's feet appeared on their youthful faces.

Although the merits of walking on the river can make up for one's lifespan, Tan Wenbin has done a lot of additions and subtractions on lifespan in the past, but it is still unclear whether this wave can be successfully passed. Besides... if Zhao Yi dies, all their efforts will be wasted.

If you really ask them in detail, they themselves may not know why they do this. They often say that at worst they can pack up and go home, but in actual actions they are still actively fighting for the interests of the man.

He is indeed not smart and a bit stupid, otherwise he would not have been persuaded by a few words from the man who secretly jumped over the family formation and climbed over the wall.

It's very similar to the girl in Tan Wenbin's class when he was in high school. She had good grades but ended up riding a yellow-haired bicycle outside the school.

I thought I had received true love, but I didn't know what price I paid.

Yin Meng's poison bottles were used up, and she herself had no confidence that she could put together a strong enough poison for the remaining bottles. She heard Xiao Yuan's voice in her heart, and she retreated without hesitation.

Zhao Yi turned around again and glanced behind him.

He had already noticed the movement of the magic door behind him, and guessed what the two sisters were doing in an instant, but he never looked back. This time he turned back only to go on stage and calibrate the breath frequency with the man surnamed Li again.

I glanced at the two sisters. Their black hair had started to turn white, but they still had smiles on their faces.

If conditions permit, Zhao Yi really wants to point at them and scold them: Idiots, stop doing such self-touching things.

If Mr. Li can hold on, then he will definitely be able to hold on. If he can't, then there will be no point in anything you do.

Zhao Yi even felt that Mr. Li couldn't be distracted right now, otherwise he would definitely refuse the two girls to do these things. It's not because he feels sorry for the two girls' efforts, but because Mr. Li has never practiced martial arts. If you indoctrinate him like this, it might cause his qi and blood to flow backwards, which would have the opposite effect.

After the breath was calibrated, Zhao Yi moved sideways and took over Yin Meng's position.

When the next round of offensive began, Zhao Yi did not dare to completely trust the boy in this state. He also observed the changes in the attack frequency of the other three people. Only after a perfect attack was completed and the tomb owner was forced to adopt a complete defense mechanism again, did Zhao Yi feel relieved.

It was confirmed that even in this state, Mr. Li still maintained precise breath to guide himself.

As the rounds continued, Runsheng and Lin Shuyou were close to their limits, but they were still relying on their rich experience in extreme squeezing to try to squeeze out more time.

Tan Wenbin can no longer be squeezed.

"Brother Binbin, use all your strength in the next round of attack. Yin Meng will help you withdraw."

"understand!"

In the next round of attack, Tan Wenbin tried his best. After achieving his goal, he didn't even have the strength to retreat. His body turned limp into mud. Fortunately, Yin Meng's whip was swung out in time, encircling and pulling him back away from the battlefield.

Before falling into coma, Tan Wenbin tried hard to open his eyes and glanced at Xiaoyuan over there. The two girls' "drop in the bucket" had come to an end at this time, and they both fainted on their sides.

Brother Xiaoyuan was still kneeling there on one knee, with blood flowing from the corner of his eyes.

Even so, in the next round of attack when Tan Wenbin withdrew, blood still condensed in the palm of the boy's right hand and injected it into the red porcelain flag, which attracted the power of the formation to descend and perfectly replaced it.

Zhao Yi was completely relieved, he knew that he was alive!
Runsheng and Ayou are both at the end of their strength, but the tomb owner will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

Sure enough, after three consecutive rounds of fighting, the owner of the tomb stopped there.

At this time, Zhao Yi also noticed that the aura of the man surnamed Li became disordered, as if everyone had reached a critical point.

The tomb owner opened his mouth and made unclear sounds. Three sounds were made at the same time, which no normal person could understand.

Zhao Yi understood.

"You have passed the test. I am in Fengdu, waiting for your visit."

"Those who take shortcuts will never be accepted by the upper class and are not worth mentioning."

"If you kneel down and kowtow sincerely, and walk to Fengdu on your knees, you may still have a chance of survival."

After understanding it, Zhao Yi wished he had not understood it. He felt sick and disgusted in his heart.

It is obvious that you have no moral principles and bully the weak, but you are also shameless enough to keep changing the rules.

Even so, you still have the nerve to put on an air of superiority again when you haven't achieved your goal, as if you showed mercy to me today.

But no matter how angry and impatient he was, Zhao Yi, the "victim", really couldn't show it.

When Runsheng and Lin Shuyou were on the verge of collapse and Li Zhuiyuan's breath was unstable, he was the only one who could stand up and speak some polite words.

Zhao Yi first performed the Zhao family's greetings, then said respectfully:
"You boys are so frivolous, you don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. When you enter Fengdu one day, you must perform a grand ceremony and prepare incense and offerings to meet your needs and repay your kindness.

I will always remember the advice you gave me today, and I am sorry for disturbing you all. Please forgive me.

Here, I send you off respectfully. "

Everyone likes to settle scores and settle scores, but the situation is stronger than people, and it is very rare to be able to reach this point. Even so, this is based on the fact that the other party is unwilling to be injured and pay the price.

If they want compliments, then just go along with them. As for what the specific situation will be like after arriving in Fengdu, we will talk about it later.

It's almost over. If you keep saying something harsh now, and really drive one of the three into a rage, and make him come to get you at any price, then you'd be really stupid.

Anyone who likes to take advantage of others verbally is a fool.

Black lines appeared under the feet of the tomb owner, indicating that he was about to leave.

At this time, a hoarse and weak voice of Li came from behind Zhao Yi:
"Why, are you leaving now?"

When Zhao Yi heard this, he was shocked and immediately pointed at the tomb owner in front of him and said contemptuously:
"That's right, he really doesn't know any rules at all, he's just like a slave boy!"

The weak Lin Shuyou looked at the Three Eyes in disbelief. The change from respectful to arrogant was too rapid.

In fact, Zhao Yi knew clearly that if Mr. Li dared to say such words, he was either crazy or he was confident enough.

He believed it was the latter, so if he didn't seize the opportunity to get back the verbal advantage now, what was he waiting for?
The tomb owner raised his head, his eyes penetrating all obstructions and falling on the young man in the distance.

The young man stood up, his body swaying constantly. He felt a little stiff, and his blood circulation was flowing backwards, making him feel uncomfortable.

Glancing at the bloodstains on the ground and the Liang sisters fainted beside him, he knew clearly what these two had done to him.

It's okay. There are side effects, but overall it's still somewhat useful. At least I can still stand up now and have the strength to speak loudly.

The tomb owner spoke, and the voice came out again:

"Insanity!"

"presumptuous!"

"evil creature!"

The black lines under their feet were still moving, they didn't leave.

But the black lines did not disappear, so he just said some harsh words and still had to leave.

Because the effect of concealing the secrets of heaven by relying on the three incense sticks is about to end. If you don't leave in time, you will be exposed to the way of heaven.

They were unwilling to even endure injuries in battle, let alone costs many times greater than that.

There was a lot of blood accumulated on the ground before, all of which was shed by Li Zhuiyuan himself. Now, it would not be wasted.

The blood on the ground was drawn, and a bloody line appeared under the boy's feet.

If you look closely and compare, you can find that the details here are exactly the same as the black lines.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand.

The tomb owner raised his head.

Li Zhuiyuan placed his fingers between his eyebrows.

The tomb owner immediately followed suit and made the same move.

next moment,
The boy and the tomb owner opened their mouths at the same time:
"break!"

The bloody lines under the boy's feet exploded, and the black lines under the tomb owner's feet broke.

There was still blood between Li Zhuiyuan's teeth. He spread out his hands and raised them to the surroundings, like a hospitable host, doing his best to show his hospitality.

The young man smiled and said:
"You've come, don't leave."
