Chapter 104

Chapter 101

Tan Wenbin immediately scrambled to his feet and ran towards the performance shed, shouting as he ran:

“Are you stupid or not? If that was a real gun, would I still need to tell you not to move with my mouth?”

After shouting, Tan Wenbin regretted it. Was his action too obvious?

If the other side didn't take the bait and chase him, but instead went directly to deal with Little Yuan Bro, wouldn't he have miscalculated?

But soon, Tan Wenbin realized he was thinking too much. The woman behind him was indeed chasing him.

Tan Wenbin felt a great weight lift from his heart and continued to run forward.

It seemed he had been with Yuan Zi Bro for too long and mistakenly thought everyone was a cold-blooded animal like Yuan Zi Bro.

Rou Jie was really angry at this moment. First, it was the Yellow River shovel with teeth, then the lime powder, and finally the toy gun. What was even more hateful was that to dodge the bullet, she had forcibly dislocated her joints, and now she had to put them back in place again, which meant suffering two waves of pain.

Tan Wenbin really underestimated his ability to attract hatred, and although his actions seemed improper, they truly caused great harm to the woman.

Rou Jie could have chosen not to chase Tan Wenbin first and gone directly to deal with the boy in “Yu Po Po's” body, but she was also afraid that if she did that, Tan Wenbin would turn back and mess with her again.

The most important thing was that Tan Wenbin gave her the feeling that he could be dealt with quickly with a little seriousness.

Moreover, Tan Wenbin was running towards the performance shed where her family's acrobatic troupe had previously arranged an array.

Rou Jie: Heh, you didn't expect it, did you? We also know how to arrange arrays.

People are always foolish when they face a domain they don't understand.

Because Rou Jie didn't understand arrays at all, she didn't know what kind of level it was to quietly arrange arrays all over her doorstep in such a short night.

She also didn't know how crude and low-level the array they had arranged, inherited from “Yu Po Po,” was in the eyes of that boy.

The ignorant are often fearless.

“Three threes give birth, four fours enter Qian, two eights ask for divination, three nines connect…”

Tan Wenbin recited the array mnemonic as he rushed into the performance shed.

Then, Rou Jie also rushed in.

Tan Wenbin stopped, turned around, and looked at her.

He saw a cold smile on Rou Jie's face.

Tan Wenbin's eyes widened. Could it be that Yuan Zi Bro's array had been discovered and modified in advance? Then wasn't he walking into a trap?

He only saw Rou Jie stamp her foot on a certain spot on the ground, and the array activated.

The next moment, everything went black in front of Rou Jie, and she began performing “the blind man touching the elephant” in front of Tan Wenbin.

“Damn, you just made this old man lose confidence.”

Tan Wenbin bent down. The bottom of the performance shed was made of wooden boards, but the gaps in the wooden boards were very large, so he could easily grab stones from inside.

He no longer had a weapon like a shovel, so at this moment, he could only return to the most primitive long-range attack.

The main reason was that he didn't dare to go into close combat. Even if the other side was now turning in circles and fumbling around like a blind person, if she really grabbed his body and stuck to him, he had no confidence he could break free.

“Bang!”

A stone was thrown and hit Rou Jie's head squarely, and fresh blood flowed out.

In her current environment, her sense of space and direction was chaotic. If a stone usually flew towards her, her ears or even her sixth sense could sense it in advance, allowing her to dodge, but now, she was completely unable to do so.

Moreover, Tan Wenbin was constantly moving in circles while smashing her, always maintaining a distance of twenty meters.

Soon, with continuous smashing, Rou Jie's head, chest, arms, and legs were all covered in wounds.

She was like a solo dancer, constantly flashing, turning, leaping, and launching attacks in a small area. From time to time, she would also attempt long-range assaults, but the result was that she would fall heavily to the ground after not even assaulting in a straight line for five meters.

Under the effect of this array, how could she possibly walk in a straight line?

As he kept smashing, Tan Wenbin even began to feel a little pity for her.

Bin Bin immediately adjusted his mindset:

“This is for kidnapping children.”

“This is for doing such heartless things!”

“Human traffickers should just die!”

With each shouted slogan, his throws became more and more vigorous.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Finally, Rou Jie, whose head was broken and bleeding, and whose face was completely disfigured, fell face down to the ground with a “thud.”

“Huff… huff…”

Tan Wenbin stopped, lightly swinging his arms and taking deep breaths.

Continuously throwing stones with strength was really tiring. His upper arms and shoulders were already a bit numb.

But after a short rest, Tan Wenbin again bent down and picked up a large handful of stones from the gap, and threw them towards the back of Rou Jie's head on the ground in front of him.

“Bang!”

“Do you think I'm an idiot? Want to pretend to be dead to trick me into getting closer?”

“Bang!”

“I'll be damned if you get up. If I don't smash your brains out, this old man will absolutely not get closer!”

“Bang!”

The person lay motionless, and the aim was simple. Tan Wenbin continuously hit the back of Rou Jie's head.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

Rou Jie crawled up, her hair disheveled, she was driven mad.

Not knowing where the opponent was, bewildered, without direction, only continuously hit by stones on her body, anyone would be very desperate.

“If you have guts, let me out and fight me! Let me out and fight me fair and square!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bah, you also deserve to talk about fighting fair and square with me?”

Tan Wenbin continued to smash while cursing in his heart: This woman is really tough, she's been smashed for so long and still isn't dead.

The main reason was that there were no large stones in the gaps under his feet, but even if there were, he wouldn't dare to get too close to smash.

Just wear her down, wear her down, this old man will slowly wear you down!

Anyway, Yuan Zi Bro is still acting as the matador over there, and there's nothing I can do to help.

Tan Wenbin's right hand was out of strength, so he could only use his left hand to smash.

After his left hand also couldn't smash anymore, Tan Wenbin bent his waist forward, let his arms hang down, and panted heavily.

The woman curled up on the ground, hugging her head. Her whole body had no good skin visible to the naked eye, everywhere was bloody and bruised, many places had bones smashed out, but she was still slightly shrugging.

“Damn…”

Tan Wenbin simply sat on the ground as well.

The woman slowly lifted her head, her face was so smashed that her features were unrecognizable.

“You… who exactly are you…”

“Want to know me?”

“Want…”

“Okay, then I'll tell you, we are…”

“Bang!”

Tan Wenbin used the last bit of strength he had just accumulated, grabbed two stones with both hands, and threw them together, hitting the woman's face.

The woman was completely stunned, fell face down, and went limp.

Her limit was broken.

In fact, she had lost the ability to resist long ago, but her special nature made her bones her last reliance, helping her cling to life.

Most of Tan Wenbin's strength was used to wear down the other side's last breath, because he was really too cautious.

“Hua la la…”

The woman's whole body's skin and flesh quickly cracked, her entire person was like a chicken claw, undergoing the separation of bone and flesh.

And the exposed white bones were also breaking open section by section, and the organs wrapped under the skin and flesh showed a dark gray color.

This time, she was really dead.

Tan Wenbin swayed as he stood up, his lips pale as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty:

“Damn, what kind of ghost thing is this?”

Immediately after, he stumbled towards the outside. Even in this state, he still needed to find Little Yuan Bro.

As soon as Bin Bin came out, he saw two people hugging each other, smashing heavily in front of him, raising a large cloud of dust.

It was White Crane Child and the old granny.

White Crane Child's arms were inserted into the old granny's chest, and the old granny's two wooden sticks pierced White Crane Child's shoulder blades.

The two sides' fight had no beauty left, only the torment of comparing endurance.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old granny's ferocity was still there, while White Crane Child's momentum was gradually declining.

This was inevitable. Lin Shuyou was still a normal human body, while the old granny had long since ceased to be a person.

Moreover, White Crane Child's fighting style was always more direct and brave, not roundabout, which created a greater burden on this body.

The old granny lifted her head and looked at the bloodied person on that side, her eyes filled with heartache and madness. This was her life's blood and obsession, and now, on the eve of success, it had become like this.

She knew that even if she could start over, she would not be able to see “Yu Po Po” fully recover in this lifetime.

But she still didn't give up, just like how she didn't hesitate to waste both her hands to dig herself out of the grave that year. In these years, her focus might no longer be on success, but on habitually living this life full of obsession.

The old granny shouted: “There's a reservoir in the southwest direction, please go there!”

Her voice was hoarse, with a special trembling sound.

This was the only special communication method between her and “Yu Po Po.” She believed that the bloodied person who had already fallen into frenzy could hear her words clearly this time.

Li Zhuoyuan quickly detected that the bloodied person under him seemed to be a little calmer.

After decades of accompanying and serving, the old granny and “Yu Po Po” had long since become interconnected and mutually reliant. Otherwise, the old granny wouldn't have become more and more like that clay statue.

But Li Zhuoyuan was clear that this kind of reliance was more like a deposit. A part of the true “Yu Po Po” had already transferred to the old woman's body.

When she fully recovered, it would be the moment she killed the old woman and took back what belonged to her.

This was the reward for serving evil.

“Dong dong dong!!!”

The bloodied person under him started running, her speed was very fast. Each step and leap, each landing could step out a pit mark.

Li Zhuoyuan still remained on her back. In fact, he could have come down by now. According to the normal process, she should have already been destroyed.

But the problem was, Li Zhuoyuan had to ensure he killed her thoroughly.

If she escaped, even if she was weak again, she would be a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows.

“Little Yuan Bro…”

Tan Wenbin opened his mouth, looking foolishly at Little Yuan Bro riding the bloodied person and running away.

Seeing that the bloodied person had left, the old granny exerted force with both arms, nailing the wooden sticks that had pierced White Crane Child's shoulder blades into the ground, then lifted her claws and grabbed towards White Crane Child's face.

White Crane Child lifted his foot and kicked towards her.

“Bang!”

The old granny temporarily withdrew her strength, leaped up, and used the force of the other side's kick to help herself break free from White Crane Child's restraint.

After falling far away, she looked at White Crane Child with hatred.

White Crane Child's calves bent, his feet flat on the ground, and along the wounds rubbed by the two wooden sticks, he stood up again.

The old granny took a deep breath, no longer continued to fight, but bent down, and ran towards the southwest direction on all fours.

White Crane Child still stood in the original place.

“Don't just stand there, chase!” Tan Wenbin ran to the side and urged him.

But the three incense sticks on White Crane Child's crane crown had already broken off, and the vertical pupils in his eyes began to dissipate.

This was clearly not a good sign. The earlier last stand was probably just to not lose face, and at the same time to form a deterrent, so that the old granny wouldn't take advantage of the situation to come over and finish him off.

“You…”

Tan Wenbin was anxious, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He immediately thought of something, ran to his backpack in front of him, and took out the set of sealing and banning symbol needles prepared by Little Yuan Bro from inside.

Little Yuan Bro had lectured him on how to use them, and it was very easy to understand, because it was truly too brutal.

But there was no time for anything else at this moment. The old granny was already gone, and someone on his side had to go as well.

“Sorry, A You!”

Tan Wenbin stood by Lin Shuyou's side, grabbed two sealing and banning symbol needles with each hand, and in one breath, inserted two in front and two behind.

Sealing and banning symbols, their role is to seal and banish evil. A Li drew this symbol because, in Li Zhuoyuan's narrative, he drew curses by hand, which was how he sealed the little black snake into the compass.

After the four sealing and banning symbol needles were inserted, Lin Shuyou's originally declining body straightened up, and the dissipating pupils also became vertical pupils again.

This was to reseal the White Crane Child, who was originally about to leave, back into the body, preventing It from leaving.

Tan Wenbin immediately took out four evil-breaking symbol needles and inserted them directly!

The role of the evil-breaking symbol is to expel and destroy evil. Although the Official General Chief is said to be under the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, its former body was either a demon or a ghost king, and its form of existence was not much different from evil.

First seal the furnace, then add fire, which is equivalent to burning the White Crane Child in Lin Shuyou's body.

Tan Wenbin only sighed in his heart: As expected of my Yuan Zi Bro, he can even think of this kind of brutal method to promote the Way. Large areas of Lin Shuyou's skin seeped out fresh blood, and black fog sprayed out and flowed back from his seven orifices.

Even with his face drawn, his whole face was still clearly distorted.

White Crane Child turned his head and looked at Tan Wenbin. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Tan Wenbin's neck, and lifted him up.

His feet were off the ground, breathing was difficult, but Tan Wenbin still lifted his hand and pointed towards the southwest direction.

There, was the direction the evil had escaped.

White Crane Child's vertical pupils turned red. For the first time, It hesitated between killing this person and killing the evil.

As the Official General Chief, it was the first time It had been treated like this after descending.

This was no longer a great disrespect to itself, but simply treating itself as livestock, and whipping it heavily after it was exhausted.

How dare he?

But in the end, duty and integrity still outweighed emotion. White Crane Child loosened his hand.

Tan Wenbin fell to the ground, covering his neck with both hands and coughing violently.

Immediately after, White Crane Child's body shape flashed and changed, heading towards the southwest direction at a very fast speed.

Tan Wenbin looked at its disappearing back,

Sighing:

“Cough cough cough… Don't mention it, it really does have more strength.”

……

As the bloodied person ran, she tried several times to stretch out her arms and grab the person on her back.

But each time she made this attempt, Li Zhuoyuan would increase the strength of the karma fire, making her more painful and forcing her to give up.

Besides, Li Zhuoyuan had been using the method from Wei Zhengdao's black-skinned book to try to control her. Although he didn't succeed, he also interfered with her thinking, keeping her in a state of frenzy.

At the same time, he was also reading some fragmented memory images.

In the memory images, he saw Yu Po Po seeing the young woman covered in mud with her hands nearly rotted off, saw the woman holding up an urn to serve her, saw Yu Po Po teaching the woman the method of falling emotion clay statues, saw the woman helping to mold the clay statue and starting decades of repairing it like it was the first day.

Some of the pictures were very dark, but they appeared very frequently. All night long, when the woman was sleeping, black gas flowed out of the clay statue and slowly injected into her through her nose as she breathed.

At that time, the transformation and control of the woman had already begun.

Combined with the fact that Yu Po Po had only passed on one method of repairing the falling emotion clay statue for herself over the years, plus one array map, it was enough to see Yu Po Po's vigilance towards this servant.

The old woman's nearly life-long pious service seemed to be truly one-sided.

The memory images were only after she re-emerged, not before that. The memory here formed a layer, and no matter how hard Li Zhuoyuan tried, he couldn't break through this obstacle, and thus couldn't completely modify the deep memory to exert complete control over her.

Ahead, a reservoir appeared.

She wanted to return to the water.

This way, she could at least change places and start over.

Li Zhuoyuan lifted his head. No matter what, he couldn't let her return to the water.

Since I can't control you, I'll interfere with you.

Soon, in Yu Po Po's frenzied consciousness, the voice of her servant, the old woman, kept ringing:

“You're running the wrong way, it's the northeast direction!”

“Go to the northeast direction quickly, the reservoir is right ahead!”

“Go quickly, that's your only chance!”

These voices were all implanted by Li Zhuoyuan.

With Yu Po Po's eyes blind and losing her specific perception of the outside world, after hearing the hints from these voices, she stopped and began to face northeast.

Success.

But even so, Li Zhuoyuan still had to admit that this thing was really hard to kill.

An ordinary person's soul touching this karma fire would be instantly annihilated, but this guy had held on for so long, and now there was actually still life force flowing out.

No wonder the Dragon King of the Qin Liu families back then couldn't thoroughly kill her. Being hard to kill was also a kind of ability.

But I just don't believe how long you can continue to hold on.

Although Li Zhuoyuan was already tired now, he was still far from being exhausted. After all, his body had persistent breathing exercises, and his spirit had also undergone intense training with A Li.

The young man was confident that given him some time to continue consuming, the last to die would definitely be her.

However, just as she hadn't run far in the northeast direction, the old woman appeared.

The appearance of a third party in this standoff between two people really made Li Zhuoyuan feel a headache.

It seemed that White Crane Child was eventually unable to stop her.

In the original plan, he had a whole set of rich processes to gradually squeeze out Lin Shuyou's potential, squeezing him until he was dry.

But who knew he would end up "riding a horse"?

The old woman saw that Yu Po Po was clearly already at the edge of the reservoir, but actually started running in the opposite direction again, and immediately shouted:

“You're running the wrong way, you're running the wrong way!”

Li Zhuoyuan's ten fingers were still grabbing Yu Po Po's eye sockets, continuing to exert influence on her:

“Keep running, keep running!”

Two servant voices appeared in Yu Po Po's heart at the same time, causing a violent conflict.

Yu Po Po stopped. She fell into painful confusion, but she instinctively knew that she couldn't stay in the original place, otherwise she would definitely be roasted to death by this karma fire. She didn't have much time left.

The old woman narrowed her eyes, and her body moved like a cat, crawling quickly to the back, planning to launch an attack on Li Zhuoyuan on Yu Po Po's back.

She saw that this young man seemed to have a mysterious means to exert influence on Yu Po Po.

Li Zhuoyuan didn't persist, he simply let go, slid down from Yu Po Po's back, then rolled continuously, avoiding her frenzied swinging range.

The old woman was stunned at first, then immediately continued to shout at Yu Po Po: “Turn around and run back quickly, turn around and run back quickly!”

Li Zhuoyuan retreated while silently reciting in his heart: “Don't listen to her, you keep running forward, keep running forward!”

Yu Po Po could only continue to stand in the original place, stomping her feet and patting the ground in a frenzy. She really didn't know who she should listen to.

“Damn!”

The old woman saw that the young man could still exert influence even after leaving Yu Po Po's body. This time, she didn't hesitate and pounced directly towards Li Zhuoyuan.

Li Zhuoyuan continued to retreat, but the distance between the two sides was still closing rapidly.

He felt a little helpless. His biggest disadvantage now was his body conflict, so he planned to force her back or cause chaos with a deterrent technique, just like how he dealt with Lin Shuyou in the teaching building initially, thereby giving himself time to break free.

The young man recited a curse, pinched a seal with both hands, and gathered his essence and spirit at his fingertips.

Just as he planned to release it, a swift figure suddenly appeared and directly struck the old woman open.

The old woman let out a miserable scream and flew out very far.

In the original place, White Crane Child's figure appeared.

Li Zhuoyuan looked at the eight needles inserted into White Crane Child's body and sighed in his heart: Zhuang Zhuang did well.

After going back, he still needed to tell Zhuang Zhuang that there was actually no need to insert so many, four were enough.

Eight… even the young man himself felt it was too brutal.

White Crane Child's gaze fell on Li Zhuoyuan's body, and the anger in his vertical pupils was clearly visible.

The next moment, It raised its fist towards Li Zhuoyuan.

Li Zhuoyuan's gaze slightly condensed and he said: “You want to force me to promise to save your young charge in the future, but I don't like being threatened.”

Hearing these words, White Crane Child's vertical pupils turned completely red, and its anger had reached its peak.

Perhaps It also couldn't understand inwardly why its young charge had fallen to this state, being treated like a mule or horse to death by this person.

Li Zhuoyuan didn't indulge It, and pointed his hand towards the direction where the old woman had fallen:

“Go, do your job well.”

White Crane Child's fist made a sound, but finally did not fall towards Li Zhuoyuan. Instead, its body flashed, and it kicked over the old woman who had just climbed up again, raised its fist, and smashed down with force.

As if wanting to vent all this boundless anger on her body.

The old woman could only passively bear the blows, but her gaze fell on Yu Po Po, who was still standing there:

“Turn around quickly… turn around and run… the reservoir is there.”

Li Zhuoyuan then slowly walked towards Yu Po Po, raised his left hand, and pointed his index finger at his temple: “Don't listen to her, she's lying to you, hurry and run forward, run forward.”

Yu Po Po turned around and ran towards the reservoir.

Li Zhuoyuan turned his head and looked at the woman who was being hammered by White Crane Child, her bones continuously shattering and splashing. She was laughing.

Yu Po Po listened to her words.

It wasn't that Li Zhuoyuan's pretense wasn't good, but because the old woman was now almost dead. She had barely endured two rounds of White Crane Child's self-added force and still held a certain advantage, but facing the third round of brutal self-added force exerted by White Crane Child, she really couldn't hold on anymore.

Yu Po Po heard the intent to die in her servant's voice, so she believed her.

And this was something Li Zhuoyuan couldn't imitate for the time being, unless he now voluntarily let White Crane Child come over and beat him to death.

Soon, Yu Po Po ran into the reservoir, jumped into the water, and disappeared from sight.

The old woman, with a proud expression, looked at Li Zhuoyuan. She had succeeded, she had saved Po Po.

Her life was originally given by that Po Po, and now she was giving her life back to her.

She couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, wondering if she had simply jumped into the river and died as a teenager that year, could she have avoided decades of futile torment.

But she was still happy, although she was really dying soon.

Cracking sounds of bones appeared all over her body. If Tan Wenbin were here, he would excitedly shout: She's almost finished!

Li Zhuoyuan didn't exchange any words with the old woman, nor did he want to tell her that Yu Po Po had always been wary of her, and that she was also a part of Yu Po Po's repair material.

Because even if he said these things, the old woman would calmly smile and say that she knew it all, and that it was all her own volition.

She had always lived under this obsession in her life, and she would not change before she died. It would only make her feel that her sacrifice and contribution were more sacred.

White Crane Child was still hitting her. The one under his hand no longer had the power to resist, it was just that her bones were harder, and he was only grinding away her last breath.

So, the child lifted his head and looked at Li Zhuoyuan.

There was a faint mockery in his eyes.

You eventually still let that thing escape.

The corner of Li Zhuoyuan's mouth revealed a trace of a smile.

This smile made the dying old woman and White Crane Child feel doubtful.

Li Zhuoyuan walked to the edge of the reservoir and squatted down sideways.

He reached his left hand into the water and scooped up a handful of water.

His right index finger then slowly pointed towards his brow.

Wei Zhengdao was a very interesting person. When he wrote his book, he would gloss over things he felt were not important, but for those things marked as “harming heaven and,” he would really write in detail.

Therefore, Li Zhuoyuan had seen this technique before, and he would memorize every book he saw, although he had not actually learned it.

However, when he read Yu Po Po's memory earlier, there was a picture of the old woman exerting the falling emotion clay statue.

Understanding the principle and having a “teacher” demonstrate it on the spot, the most important thing was that this technique was originally very simple, as simple as the array map Yu Po Po passed to the acrobatic troupe, crude and low-level.

“Come, Li Lan, witness the moment you miss me arrives.”

The index finger against his brow moved away and pointed into the scooped water in his left hand.

The water in his palm turned half black.

Li Zhuoyuan knew this was his pitiful father.

The next moment,

The water in his palm instantly turned pitch black. Not only that, it even boiled, showing extreme violence!

The dying old woman widened her eyes. She had kidnapped countless children over the decades and had seen countless profound instances of missing birth parents, but it was completely incomparable to the scene before her eyes.

If Po Po could have this kind of connection material, she could definitely recover very quickly…

In an instant, the old woman understood something. Panic and fear appeared in her eyes. She wanted to struggle, but she was already powerless. Even when she planned to walk in the Yin again, White Crane Child's vertical pupils rotated, and she was completely isolated within it.

She could only watch with wide-open eyes as the young man held the boiling black water in one hand and made a dog-calling sound towards the surface of the reservoir with the other:

“Suck suck suck… suck suck suck…

Po Po, it's time to eat.”

The originally calm water surface rose in waves again. The original bloodied person, at this moment, was already largely pale and necrotic, her skin and flesh falling off.

But she still greedily returned to the shore and climbed up.

This time, Yu Po Po couldn't even stand, she could only crawl slowly, truly like a dog.

Li Zhuoyuan extended his left hand forward to continue attracting Yu Po Po over; his right hand opened, and karma fire rose again, preparing to send Yu Po Po completely on her way.

However, looking at the boiling black water in his left hand, Li Zhuoyuan also had to sigh:

“Li Lan, how much do you miss me?”

Yu Po Po finally crawled over. When she lifted her head, wanting to suck that “extremely fresh” black water, Li Zhuoyuan flicked his left hand back and directly patted her forehead with his right hand.

Karma fire once again attached itself to her entire body. This time, she couldn't struggle or resist, only passively let out a miserable wail. The last bit of remaining skin and flesh also quickly fell off.

Li Zhuoyuan appreciated her miserable state while smiling and saying:

“The successor of the Qin Liu families' Dragon King—Li Zhuoyuan.

Today,

Send Yu Po Po on her way.”
