Chapter 414

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You reached out and grabbed the umbrella at the first opportunity, wanting to rip it from Brother Bin's hand; for them, minor lacerations were simply a part of daily life.

However, as A-You attempted to exert force, he was stunned to discover that the barbs were not only deep within the flesh of Brother Bin's right hand but were also embedded into the bone.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You dared not continue to exert force, fearing that a strenuous effort might turn Brother Bin's hand into "boneless phoenix claws."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng reached into his mountaineering backpack, intending to take out the head of the Yellow River Shovel, waiting only for a command from Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan to unhesitatingly cut off Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's right hand to prevent further loss.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "Take him away, get in the car."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was carried into the car.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You started the car, and Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, pointed out the direction, signaling A-You to drive there.

They had seen it on the way here; there was a park there that was currently in a state of suspended construction.

In the backseat, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body twitched incessantly, his eyes appearing as snake pupils, but this time, even the snake pupils were being continuously rendered by blackness.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng's hand pressed down on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's arm to prevent him from suddenly going into a fit and affecting the driving of the car.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You drove while anxiously observing Brother Bin's condition through the rearview mirror.

"Pfft..."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan opened a can of Jianlibao, inserted a straw, and drank silently.

This action by the youth allowed both Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You and Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng to calm down internally.

Even Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, upon hearing the sound of the can opening, saw his twitching subside significantly compared to before.

They had arrived.

This park was planned to cover a large area, but for some reason, construction had stopped, making it temporarily a piece of wasteland in the city without water or electricity; even the homeless were not keen on staying here.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng carried Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin on his back, quickly reached the depths, and settled Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin onto a swan-shaped pedal boat.

In the river channel where the boat was located, there was not a single drop of water; below were only fragments of concrete.

"Keep watch."

"Understood!"

"Understood."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng and Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You each dispersed toward the distance.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan pressed the index and middle fingers of his left hand together against the center of Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's forehead, while his right hand repeatedly pried open Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's eyelids.

The situation was dire; after the old thing sent his own empty "husk" to take the blame, the best way for him to revive in the mortal world was to choose a suitable vessel.

Or, as the common folk often say, borrowing a corpse to return the soul.

The vessel could not be chosen randomly; if he chose an ordinary one, the body would decay before long, which would instead cause the old thing to waste his already dwindling obsession.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had always walked the path of Spirit Control; whether it was carrying his two vengeful infant god-sons in the early stages or now bearing the four beast spirits, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body had long since adapted to this state of being possessed.

Su Luo was born that way, so he was frequently possessed by ghost messengers to serve as a public building while alive;

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's state was acquired, having decorated himself into a high-end apartment in an ordinary area through rounds of renovation.

Therefore, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was truly suitable for "borrowing a corpse to return the soul."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had guessed that the umbrella the old man brought into the restaurant was problematic, and the bigger problem was that when the four of them returned to the restaurant's front desk, the umbrella had remained there incredibly obediently.

The youth was such a cautious person; in the past, even when picking up a copper coin from the ground, he would have to seal it layer by layer and wrap his own hands before daring to attempt contact with such special items.

But this time, the youth had directly ordered Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin to receive it with his bare hands.

Because Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin himself was the one least afraid of being "borrowed for a corpse to return the soul."

Back then, Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao created the "Five Senses Map" in an attempt to suppress and kill himself; after failing, the "Five Senses Map" drifted into the human world, transforming into five beasts.

The pig that attempted to reorganize the "Five Senses Map" was destroyed by Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, and the remaining four beasts were placed by the youth into Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body; in fact, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was equivalent to replacing the position of that pig, reconstructing a new balance within his own body.

This meant that Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin himself was a walking human-shaped seal.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was in no rush to act; he still had to wait, wait for the old thing to soak in deeper, and then close the door to beat the dog.

The umbrella skin had already fallen off, and the structure inside was rapidly rusting and peeling; after the youth used his hands to peel it open, a rust-covered sword was revealed inside.

It was perfect.

Perfect like a fruit platter with toothpicks inserted into peeled and sliced pieces.

In terms of physique, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was not as good as Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng; in terms of talent, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was not as good as Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin belonged to the ceiling of ordinary people.

Therefore, every time he helped Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin with planning, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan deliberately lowered the risk factor, not seeking aggression, only stability.

If he really sealed the old thing entirely inside, he would have to find a coffin to put Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin in and bury him, because Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin could not contend with another powerful, independent "consciousness" within his body.

Fortunately, in order to maintain existence during the long suppression, the old thing had continuously peeled his own shell, removed his skin, and picked out his core; the "empty shell" finally sacrificed to take the blame was the old thing's last remnant of humanity.

Now, what was in this sword was not the original, authentic old thing... just the flavor of the juice.

As long as Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan could disperse his obsession next, it would be equivalent to helping Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin recognize this rusty sword as his master.

And this was the first radish.

Waiting and waiting, he saw the timing was about right.

The youth stuck a Cleansing Heart Talisman on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's forehead, then set up an altar on the spot and inserted three sticks of incense.

Immediately, the youth chanted a spell, formed a seal, and prepared to cast a spell.

In reality, he rubbed his fingertips lightly, and a red thread was released, connecting to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

Deep in Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's consciousness, only a lonely island remained.

Around the island stood four impending-to-dissipate phantoms: the centipede, the ape, the ox, and the snake.

Facing the external invasion, the four beasts had no way out and could only help Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin make a desperate struggle.

When Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's consciousness appeared here, the four beasts' phantoms, which were about to collapse, were invigorated!

They forcibly pushed the surging black torrent around them further out, expanding the area of the lonely island.

In his own camp, even if the youth did nothing and merely appeared, it could have a great spiritual incentive effect.

"Brother Xiao Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan... I can't hold on much longer."

"Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, you have done very well."

The second half of the sentence, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan did not say out loud: that was that Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin had let himself wait for another quarter of an hour beside that swan boat covered in bird droppings.

This quarter of an hour was not in the youth's original plan; it was Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's personal extraordinary performance, layer-by-layer resistance, which he had fought for himself.

Although, this was indeed a bit of a waste of time.

But from a personal perspective, it was also a rare experience.

Every time he designed plans for his partners, they could always give him surprises; they would rely on their own efforts to jump up again, exceeding expectations.

They all said they would rely on him to lie flat, but in private, they were more enterprising than the next.

"That's enough, Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, you can rest now; next, let me take over."

"Understood!"

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin withdrew his resistance, and the black torrent found a breach here and surged in frantically.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan raised his arm and said in a deep voice:

"Five Senses Map, retract!"

The four beast spirit phantoms all retreated, turning into four streams of light that merged into Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body.

This last piece of the lonely island was completely covered in an instant.

"Five Senses Map, open!"

The next moment, a point of light appeared and spread out in an instant, covering this black torrent, as if forming a new land, only this land was floating above the torrent.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin sat cross-legged, surrounded by a centipede, a python, a green ox breathing, and an ape roaring.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan stood beside Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, the youth's left hand resting on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's shoulder.

"I want to live, I want to live, I want to live!"

Cracks appeared on the ground all around, and the black torrent below was frantically surging upward, attempting to roll and collapse this land that covered it.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was expressionless, only continuously providing reinforcement to Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

When it came to a war of attrition, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was truly not afraid; the youth did not believe he would lose to this old sugarcane that had been suppressed and ground for who knows how many years!

Standoff, standoff, standoff...

Cracks on the ground kept appearing and were constantly being repaired, never being pierced through.

Perhaps that obsession also sensed the crisis and did not continue to consume on a large scale, but instead concentrated on one point.

"Bang!"

An opening was pierced through, like a spring, and black water began to "gurgle" out.

This scene, in this place, was quite fitting; after all, Jinan is also known as the Spring City.

Only the local spring water was each clear, quiet, and exquisite, with the weight of history and culture settled within;

The black spring before his eyes gushed out nothing but that nauseating, fishy, and foul obsession.

To this day, there is still no exception: anyone who lives for the sake of "living" and for the sake of continuing to exist will become less and less like a person.

Even the dead, among those who are not human, are the most human-like.

Hmm, for example, his own good master.

The black spring water carried a formidable momentum and charged toward Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan spread his right hand, formed a seal, and said in a deep voice:

"Twelve Decrees of Emperor Emperor Fengdu—Ghost Gate, open!"

"Hum!"

A Ghost Gate stood before the youth and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, and accompanied by a roar, the impact of the black spring was steadily blocked.

The black spring re-accumulated its strength, then changed direction and charged again from the other side.

"Ghost Gate, open!"

"Hum!"

Another Ghost Gate was erected.

The second wave of the Black Spring's assault was blocked once again.

It began to brew its next attempt.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, meanwhile, continued to form hand seals.

The Black Spring launched a new round of charging, but this time, it suddenly changed its previous flat path, turning to rise rapidly before falling vertically, launching its offensive from above.

"Ghost Gate, open!"

"Hum!"

A Ghost Gate was placed flat above the heads of the youth and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin.

The Black Spring returned empty-handed once again; three consecutive impacts had consumed a massive amount of its energy, and that spring eye began to gradually weaken, a trend that appeared irreversible.

The best way to disperse an obsession is to drive it to despair.

"Hum! Hum!"

Even though the Black Spring did not attack again, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan used his techniques to condense two more Ghost Gates.

Now, it was as if a house had been built on the spot where the two were located, entirely constructed from Ghost Gates, with four walls and a roof.

In the eyes of the jianghu, Ghost Gates represent the heritage of Emperor Emperor Fengdu; in the eyes of the ghosts of the Underworld, they represent supreme authority.

But to the youth, it was just a simple and practical method; using it here was actually overkill, lacking cost-effectiveness.

However, when your accumulation and foundation are sufficient, spending effort to seek delicate responses is instead a waste.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan intended to use this method to shake it into helplessness, to shake it into despair, and finally transform "shaking" into "suppression."

The effect was achieved.

The gushing of the Black Spring continued to subside until the spring eye dried up.

It no longer bubbled outward, and even the previously broken opening gradually restored itself; the surrounding ground returned to being level, and only by calming one's heart could one faintly hear the sound of waves coming from below.

The obsession seemed to have dissipated, and the "Five Features Portrait" seemed to have completed its seal.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, beneath Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, in the only area without the defense of a Ghost Gate, the ground sank and cracked; the Black Spring, like a ferocious beast, opened its bloody maw and swallowed upward.

It had found the only flaw.

But it did not think about why a flaw had been left here.

The youth grabbed downward with his right hand, operating the Nine Rivers Zhao Clan Fundamental Formula.

Grasping the tangible from the intangible, the youth imprisoned it.

At this moment, the contest between the two sides entered a white-hot stage.

In reality.

Inside the swan boat, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, who was sitting beside Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin with his eyes closed, had beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and his complexion turned slightly pale.

The youth was not yet tired, but his body was starting to drag him down at this moment, unable to fully withstand this continuous high-frequency consumption.

However, the problem was not very big, after all, his nose hadn't bled yet.

And this Black Spring clearly no longer had the remaining strength to force a nosebleed out of the youth.

The Zhao Clan Fundamental Formula was created by Zhao Zhao Wuyang, a Long Wang who rose from humble beginnings.

Ordinary Zhao family members, throughout their lives, merely practiced it as a technique focused on controlling water.

As a genius who chased after his ancestors in the history of the Zhao family, Zhao Yi's Zhao Clan Fundamental Formula had long ago entered the level of "human heart like water."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan had helped improve the Zhao Clan Fundamental Formula, elevating it to a height targeting the soul and consciousness.

Of course, this was not entirely Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's credit; it could only be said that Zhao Zhao Wuyang himself was too advanced for his time, and his descendants could not truly comprehend the essence of their ancestor's heritage.

Without Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan, Zhao Yi could have gradually comprehended this stage, but with Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's "improvement," it was equivalent to helping Zhao Yi point out the path in advance, where the ancestor clearly resided, without the need for hesitation or trial and error, thereby greatly shortening the process.

Now, this Black Spring had finally lost in this fierce battle against Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan.

When it realized that as long as the youth was here, it would have absolutely no chance, this obsession collapsed.

The black torrent beneath the ground was no longer surging and began to become calm.

This time, it was a true success.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's left hand, which had been resting on Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's shoulder, tapped gently four times; each time, a beast spirit flew out from Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's body and landed at the four corners.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin was the only center here.

The "Five Features Portrait" shone in mutual reflection, the profound mystery circulating, completely stabilized.

Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Zhengdao once used this to commit suicide and failed; but in this world, how many Wei Zhengdaos are there?

The ground began to become transparent, and the black water below became pure and clear.

Here, it looked like the surface of a frozen Weiming Weiming Weiming Lake in winter.

The only clear spring eye was right in front of Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin, who sat cross-legged, the spring water flowing around his body.

Everything was beautiful and serene.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin opened his eyes: "Little Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Yuan Ge..."

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan: "It's over."

The youth did not rush to leave, but continued to quietly observe the place.

When Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin did not borrow this power, everything was peaceful; but when Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin extracted this power, the clear spring would immediately turn black, and only after he finished using it would it settle and become clear again.

Risks still existed.

However, mastering any power carries risks.

What Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan was looking at now was not just the present, but the future.

After Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin dies, if his remains are not handled properly, this obsession will erupt again.

There are many similar future risks.

After Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng dies, even without a catalyst or someone pushing it, his body would easily turn into a "dead-walker," and a Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Runsheng who has completely turned into a dead-walker would be unimaginably terrifying.

After Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You dies, the White Crane Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Zhenjun, who inherits the Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Guarding Zhenjun system, might take extra care of Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You's future children due to their bond, and would be easy to talk to, but what about A You's grandchildren and great-grandchildren?

They have no bond with the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi, so it is highly likely that the Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Master Tongzi will break through the rules and become a shadow looming over generations of the Lin family.

Not to mention the various evil objects in Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's hands, such as the evil flood dragon that just successfully evolved.

When he is around, they are all incredibly obedient; if he were gone, who could suppress them?

When you become stronger and stand higher, you will increasingly understand the actions of Long Long Wang Yu back then.

Every generation of the Yu family Long Wang, when their lifespan is about to end, would require their companion spirit beast to commit suicide in advance.

The only one who didn't do this, Yu Tiannan, ultimately led to the downfall of Long Long Wang Yu.

Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan has now reached the stage where he needs to think about this problem.

Fortunately, he is still young.

Even better, in the future, he and his little companions will have the next generation.

The youth doesn't like Benben, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like Benben himself.

In a heritage force, having a child like Benben as a foundation truly makes one feel secure, not to mention that here with Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Binbin, there are two god-sons acting as reserves.

No wonder, even a Long Wang with an open mind, even one from humble beginnings, would start building his own family heritage in the twilight of his life.

The power you create cannot become chaotic and out of control due to your departure, becoming a new source of disaster; you need people to help you control or eliminate it generation after generation.

Within every Long Wang's gate, many evil spirits are suppressed; in fact, what is truly suppressed is far more than just evil spirits.

In reality, Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin also slowly woke up.

The first thing Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin did after waking up was turn to the side and start vomiting.

Mouthfuls of black, foul-smelling sour water were continuously vomited out, but after vomiting, his whole body felt relaxed.

Raising his right hand, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin looked at the rusty sword that was connected to his flesh and blood.

Without Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Li Zhuiyuan's instruction, Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin began to move it with his own intent.

"Clatter!"

The rusty sword fell from his palm.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin picked it up again and swung it.

"Hum!"

The sound of sharpness was terrifyingly fierce.

Then, subconsciously, he thrust forward.

"Plop!"

The rusty sword moved forward on its own, dragging Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin along as he fell to the ground, his Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Human Face pressed against the concrete floor, being dragged for a long distance with a "clatter-clatter" sound.

"Hiss... Ah~"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You was called back and began to bandage Brother Bin's wounds.

"Brother Bin, it's okay now, you've suffered."

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin held a cigarette in his hand, responding awkwardly.

His original injury was just a row of barbs in his right hand, not even needing to stop the bleeding, but when testing the sword, he acted like a tractor driving out, rubbing against the ground and creating wounds, making him look incredibly disheveled.

"Brother Bin, this sword looks very powerful."

After bandaging, Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Lin Shu You became extremely interested in the sword in Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin's hand.

Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Tan Wenbin: "Yeah, it's alright."
