Chapter 352

Runsheng crossed his arms, gathered strength throughout his body, and then slowly opened his arms.

Accompanied by a dull friction of muscles and bones, a powerful wave of Qi was continuously released.

Standing at the very front, he propped up a barrier for the companions behind him.

In the past, Runsheng could not control the Qi wave with such precision, but after the improvement from the "crash course," doing this was already effortless.

The flames rushed up, instantly like eggs stirred rapidly into boiling water.

The surroundings and the top of Li Zhuiyuan and the others seemed to be covered with a thick, heavy blanket of flames.

Although the corridor here was very wide, it was still a sealed space after all. As long as the fire was large enough and fierce enough, the vast majority of people would have no ability to resist, and the few who had means of resistance would have no time to react at all.

The screams around them were endless. A large number of Jianghu figures, when only one door away from the Long Wang gate, had their bodies and the vision of soaring into the sky and leaping over the dragon gate in their hearts turned into flying ash together.

Tan Wenbin continuously turned his body. The information he perceived was transmitted in real-time to Brother Xiaoyuan's mind through the red thread, allowing Li Zhuiyuan to grasp the situation outside when his vision was blocked.

The positions of those four women remained stable; they withstood the sweeping flames in their own way.

As for that man, his position could not be determined for the time being. Li Zhuiyuan believed that he should not be dead yet.

He was very smart, not only spending effort to block the burning but also isolating the movement of his own Qi.

Outside the heavy blanket of flames, dark red flames approached from time to time. The temperature of this color of flame was higher, and its incineration ability was even more terrifying.

Lin Shu You could react in advance every time, condensing a trident phantom in his hand and throwing it out to disperse the dark red.

Overall, the flames were still continuing, and even now, there was no sign of stopping.

Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "That senior inside the door is trying to completely refine us like demon beasts."

Li Zhuiyuan:

"Do you think he can't distinguish between the cries of demon beasts and the screams of humans?

Of course, it is indeed possible to be unable to distinguish. After all, the situation here at the Yu family is special; they are all combinations of demons and humans, so it is reasonable to make human screams.

Did you see those dark red flames that appear from time to time? That is the blessing of spraying essence blood from the tip of the tongue when using this technique.

However, even if such a great price is paid, it can be understood as him being afraid that demon beasts will escape by their own talents. He is ensuring that evil is completely eradicated.

It has been burning for so long, but he is still continuing. Tell me, why doesn't he push the stone door wider and come in to see for himself?

Finally, normal people don't have the habit of talking to themselves on weekdays, especially when facing demon beasts he 'thinks' are there, and he has to add a very exaggerated 'haha' at the beginning."

Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan: "You mean, he knows we are not demon beasts, and he is deliberately attacking us to kill us?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "He is not sure whether we are demon beasts or not, and he is not willing to confirm it, because once confirmed, he will suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.

But he deliberately exerted too much force on this kind of ambiguous matter.

He would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go."

Zhao Yi once reminded Li Zhuiyuan that when the elders of that group's family attacked the Yu family, they would definitely leave some traces of excessive force.

But obviously, these old seniors had a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao than Zhao Yi imagined, and they were even more ruthless in their actions.

The special image created by the Yu family's animals in power gave them a reason to attack 'humans'. As long as they heard movement, they would strike without a word, and they might be able to stifle the excellent juniors of other families and sects in advance.

At the same time, their own juniors were also in the same 'moment of being killed by mistake'.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that the layout of the Heavenly Dao in this wave was really interesting. The overall rules were:

One's own elders could not protect their own juniors on the river, and even if the juniors encountered danger, they could not flee towards the elders, and the elders dared not directly intervene to help.

And the special environment here gave those seniors an opportunity to attack other families' children. As long as one person couldn't help but do so, or even if this thought just formed in their own mind, the prisoner's dilemma appeared.

You don't attack other people's juniors, but your juniors might be being slaughtered by others, and maybe they have already had an accident and died in a muddled way.

Although these old guys were all human spirits, they wouldn't be that short-sighted.

But the Heavenly Dao finally set the stage with Long Wang Yu and pushed up such a luxurious lineup of river-walking elites. Just counting the known orthodox Long Wang family descendants on the surface, including Yu Dibei, there were already six.

If there was no accident, then create an accident; if there was no conflict, then induce conflict. Even a wisp of wind or a leaf could change a person's life trajectory. The Heavenly Dao had plenty of ways to make the effect it wanted to create appear.

The more ruthlessly those old guys killed the Yu family's demon beasts and the cleaner they slaughtered them, the more they were accelerating the clearing of the field, preparing for the upcoming internal infighting of the righteous path.

Before the old guys came to the Yu family, they only thought about sharing the Yu family's foundation and definitely didn't expect that they would become the 'actors' already arranged in this wave, playing the traditional evil roles in the normal wave.

Even now, most people probably haven't realized it. One is that their understanding of the Heavenly Dao is not deep enough, even Li Zhuiyuan only figured it out when the incident happened, and those who can predict it in advance must be the kind of people who truly 'understand' the Heavenly Dao, such as the Long Wang who were the final winners of the past generations, as well as the people and... animals who accompanied the Long Wang on the river.

Another reason is that the excessive slaughter of demon beasts in a short period of time caused their demon blood and resentment to permeate in large quantities, combined with the special environment built deep under Mangshan by the Yu family, forming a special miasma, making people more prone to impulse and unable to remain rational at all times.

Under the promotion of the Heavenly Dao, the river water had long ago thoughtfully arranged everything and paid attention to all aspects.

The outstanding figures of this generation were destined to fight together, and they were bound to decide the winner. Either die or admit defeat; it was impossible to let you stand on the river and watch the scenery leisurely all the time.

Every generation of the Long Wang struggle came this way. Walking the river was originally a life-and-death arena built by the Heavenly Dao for a generation of heroes.

Li Zhuiyuan felt that the man was smart because the other party insightfully saw the intention of the person behind the stone door at the first moment and hid his own aura, which was not giving the other party a chance to continue targeting him.

And right now, there were two choices in front of Li Zhuiyuan.

Either he takes everyone around him to bump into the person behind the stone door. As long as his side could rush out of the stone door, Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan would shout "Long Wang Chen" again!

Then the old man on the opposite side, unless he was crazy and wanted to resist the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and forcibly kill the river-walker in the wave, would have to stop immediately and say awkwardly: "Mistake, mistake."

This was considered a preferential treatment in the rules. The people sent by each family were similar to the status of Qin Shu and Aunt Liu in the family.

Therefore, it was really very low for the current river-walkers to fight with the elders of each family. This was also a constraint set by the river water for those old guys.

If they really wanted to fight happily, that was simple. Like last time in Lijiang, distribute a piece of black broken jade to each team and require them to carry it with them, directly defining it as an evil spirit by 'Heavenly Action', so they could reasonably kill each other.

But for Li Zhuiyuan, if he risked pushing the door out just to get an apology from the other party, then the significance of doing so was not great.

The second choice, with Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan here, Li Zhuiyuan didn't think he was completely unqualified to wrestle with the other party. If he was lucky, in a low probability, he might be able to defeat or even kill him. After all, this group of old guys only had the status of Qin Shu, but not necessarily the strength of Qin Shu.

But his side would also inevitably pay a very heavy price.

Just entering the Yu family gate and exhausting all the cards in his hand was really too irrational. There were still many things to do next, and there were many benefits to be seized.

Then endure for a moment. Since it was a cat-and-mouse game, he would be the mouse for once.

The other party dared not put too much attention inside to observe, because once they 'saw clearly', they wouldn't be able to justify themselves. The old man behind the stone door must be in a state of 'rare confusion'.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Tell me your birth date and time."

Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan answered immediately.

The young man pulled out a small stack of yellow paper from his sleeve, a total of five sheets. The spirit of the black flood dragon flew out from his palm, stained with Li Zhuiyuan's blood, and turned into strokes on each yellow paper, 'writing down' everyone's names and birth dates.

Then the young man crossed his hands and bowed forward. The puppet technique took effect. After the five yellow papers landed, they folded up and became five small paper figures.

Since he knew the other party was 'muddled', there was no need for him to make it too precise. Fooling each other was enough.

The young man knelt on one knee and slapped his right palm on the ground.

"Slap."

Runsheng closed the Qi gate, but this Qi wave used for blocking did not disappear, but changed into a formation effect.

Tan Wenbin's eyes widened, letting his vision penetrate the flames more. Lin Shu You spent the trident phantom more rapidly, further advancing to disperse the dark red that was about to gather.

Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan witnessed all this throughout. The young man did not speak to give orders, but the three companions immediately made their own reactions. What was even more strange was that the snake eyes in Tan Wenbin's eyes seemed to be able to share with Lin Shu You?

Li Zhuiyuan said: "Open the domain!"

While Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan opened the domain instantly, she was still muttering in her heart: Why do I have to speak verbally?

She had already realized that these four people must be centered on the young man, mastering a secret technique she had never heard of, which could convey each other's intentions in real-time.

Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan also wanted to join and experience it at this moment.

Runsheng retreated, Lin Shu You retreated, Tan Wenbin moved forward, and everyone quickly approached, wrapped by Chen Chen Chen Xiyuan's domain.

The formation arranged by Li Zhuiyuan also disintegrated, and the fire was able to break in and burn the five paper figures. ===== CHAPTER 353 =====
