Responding with the same transmission content in the same transmission way.

In the ears of outsiders, this was undoubtedly a kind of straightforward contempt from top to bottom.

It had even deviated from the scope of ordinary Jianghu struggles, stepping on the inheritance status of the Living Person Valley.

However, standing from the perspective of Li Zhuiyuan's identity, the youth's response was nothing but a normal, plain statement.

On the roof.

Li Zhuiyuan sat there, surrounded by evil flood dragons.

The youth held the purple-gold compass in his right hand, the interior of which was constantly sinking and protruding, deducing on its own, and the needle was slowly rotating smoothly, all of which explained the ease of controlling the situation.

A Li stood at the youth's side, holding the blood porcelain bottle in her hand.

The morning sun was not so bright for some reason, but the gentle breeze still blew the girl's hair up from time to time, sticking to her cheeks and lips.

Tan Wenbin had his right hand in his pocket, a cigarette clamped in his left hand, standing at the downwind position on the edge of the roof.

What he inhaled was smoke, and what he exhaled was green mist that could block vision and perception.

They had arrived long ago.

After all, Lin Shu You had really taken quite a while to buy this breakfast.

The reason for not rushing to strike:

Firstly, the situation at A You's place wasn't that bad yet.

Secondly, they discovered that there were really quite a few people hiding in the dark watching the fun on this street, many of whom were familiar faces.

Li Zhuiyuan had long anticipated that the second wave targeting the same target was about to arrive, but this second wave had come a bit too urgently.

It wasn't that the river water was pushing fast, but that the quality of the second wave was high. For these "trendsetters," seeing the autumn from a single leaf and arriving early to grab a first-mover advantage was a perfectly normal operation.

Li Zhuiyuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the lamp-lighters who had failed in the siege of Ailao Mountain and were counter-killed in the first wave.

But this second wave was very worthy of integration and utilization.

Whether it was dealing with the Living Person Valley in the end or turning into the Lu Family Manor midway, these people all had great uses.

For work that could be finished easily, there was no need to pursue doing it oneself with great effort.

Therefore, the youth spent a little time adjusting the original plan according to the current new situation.

As for that Yama, it wasn't taken too seriously by the youth.

It was strong, but it was far from reaching an outrageous level. Being able to force Lin Shu You into that kind of situation was purely because of the stick-tiger-chicken dynamic, which happened to restrain A You.

Tan Wenbin exhaled a smoke ring and smiled: "A You has also matured a lot, knowing how to delay time to maintain his state. In the past, A You would have long been hot-headed and rushed up to do it."

No one questioned or argued why A You had caused such a scene just by buying breakfast.

Questions would definitely be asked, but that was a matter for after the fight.

"Hum! Hum. Hum!"

Yama began to release more silk threads, attempting to regain control with this.

Its iron-blue complexion began to fade.

Then, it immediately discovered that no matter how many silk threads it released, as long as it still wanted to continue relying on the original barrier pattern, it was currently just adding fuel to the fire.

On the roof, the needle of the compass in the youth's hand rotated slightly faster, and every time the evil flood dragon circled near, it would also lightly sweep the compass with its tail.

Yama's struggle was limited to this.

Li Zhuiyuan hooked his finger lightly, and a silk thread was stripped from the barrier, coming to the youth's finger, gently winding around the youth's finger for him to examine.

The youth shook his head slightly.

He had thought he could get new inspiration. After all, this kind of surrounding oneself with silk threads like a hedgehog, making assassins like Lin Shu You unable to advance or retreat, was indeed very attractive to himself, who didn't practice martial arts.

But after figuring out its essence, the youth couldn't hide his disappointment.

Just this.

Calling it a secret technique was an insult to the word "secret."

That Yama was not only iron-blue in complexion, but the body under the official robe should also be blue.

This was the color of the silk threads.

It had wound all the silk threads on itself. To be more direct, it was composed of these silk threads, and when needed, it would release them according to the barrier's operation.

This wasn't any Yama; it was clearly a thread stick that every household had.

Which child in the current age group hadn't had the experience of helping their mother organize and wind thread ends with both hands on the thread ends?

Li Zhuiyuan had no interest in turning himself into this style. This wasn't killing the chicken to get the eggs anymore; it was purely making a feather duster.

The youth's left hand lifted lightly upward.

At the barrier below, an opening was made.

Runsheng, who had long been waiting there, walked in with the Yellow River Shovel in his left hand and two golden maces in his right hand.

Li Zhuiyuan could easily break Yama's barrier now, but the youth didn't choose to do so, continuing to preserve this field of vision fog caused by the barrier.

If the purpose of this wave was just to solve a Living Person Valley, Li Zhuiyuan could now let Tan Wenbin shout and report his family name.

Starting from here, first establish prestige, then plant a flag, starting from both identity status and strength, and take up the alliance leader flag in this wave without hesitation.

But in this way, it wouldn't be so easy to operate the diversion of disaster to the Lu Family Manor later.

It was better to hide for the time being, shape a mysterious and powerful image, and then let this image guide and disperse, letting that group of "smart people" continue to jump steps to grab the first-mover advantage and voluntarily rush to the Lu Family Manor.

After the Lu Family Manor turned into a ruin and everyone discovered the problem was wrong, he would then formally plant the flag and readjust the direction, pointing to the end of this wave, the Living Person Valley.

This way, nothing would be wasted, and this group of mules could be allowed to fully exert their subjective initiative and pull two mills.

When he formally became famous in the Jianghu, the top forces using the Lu Family Manor as a white glove would definitely know who was guiding all of this.

But this was the rule on the poker table; the one who tears the face first loses first.

In the past, they used this set to bully Grandma Liu; now, he used this set to scrape their meat.

Runsheng's entry allowed Lin Shu You to completely unload the pressure.

There was no communication; Runsheng just threw the golden maces to Lin Shu You, then looked up at Yama, and a "creak creak" grinding sound came from his mouth.

Runsheng didn't like the style of this suit.

When in Fengdu, Yin Meng appeared very happy, the purpose of which was not to give Xiaoyuan the pressure of saving her urgently.

Runsheng was the same, and hadn't mentioned this matter in front of Xiaoyuan.

But every night when burning sacrifices, looking at the yellow paper constantly swallowed by the flames, Runsheng's brain, which had no wrinkles, would also fantasize about some scenes.

For example, when he was truly strong to that level, how he would kill into the underworld, all the way up from the eighteenth floor, and finally bring Yin Meng out.

People wearing this kind of official robe would be the opponents he was destined to encounter on the high-level platform of hell.

Runsheng moved.

No fancy moves, just rushing forward.

Yama lost control of the barrier and the surrounding silk threads. Now the only thing it could operate was the newly released silk threads close to it, dense and piercing strangulation, enveloping Runsheng.

Runsheng's Qi gate opened, the scars on his body wriggled, powerful air waves condensed, and the Yellow River Shovel was raised upward. All the silk threads were forced to change direction, winding toward the Yellow River Shovel, and quickly piled up upward. Soon, Runsheng looked like he had raised a crystal small tower.

Lin Shu You, holding the double maces, appeared behind Yama like a ghost.

The double maces crossed and smashed down.

"Bang!"

Yama, who had always been high above, was smashed and flew out.

That clean sole finally got stained with sludge.

The sense of value of the team was embodied vividly at this moment. Difficult and thorny problems, after being decomposed into steps by companions, became simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Runsheng shook the shovel, dispersed the silk threads on it, and then continued to approach Yama.

Yama's figure floated up. It had already sensed fear, moving rapidly, wanting to leave, but the barrier it had previously arranged no longer recognized it. When it approached, the silk threads on the barrier began to wind and fix it in reverse. It had to lead out blue flames to melt and break it before it could escape.

And when Runsheng came again, it released silk threads from its body again to attack Runsheng.

Runsheng was still with his Qi gate opened, holding the Yellow River Shovel high, and again wound the silk threads into the shovel end.

Lin Shu You appeared behind Yama again, the double maces crossed.

"Bang!"

Yama was smashed and flew out again.

Standard, just like a re-enactment of the previous round.

The difference was that there were several more pits smashed into Yama's body, and its majestic and wealthy body became slender, and the iron-blue color on its face became lighter and lighter.

The horror in its eyes was gradually transforming into despair.

Because this was truly no chance, even fighting for one's life had become a kind of luxury at this moment.

Runsheng was not in a hurry, Lin Shu You was not impatient.

When fighting alone, they each had their own style, but once entering team mode, everyone silently regarded themselves as a screw. Any extra injury or extra price paid was a disrespect to Brother Xiaoyuan.

Third round, following the same pattern.

Yama, who was smashed and flew out again, had a shriveled body, and the fat official robe was no longer fitting, hanging diagonally on its body.

Its turbid eyes suddenly protruded, and the two eyeballs exploded.

All the silk threads trembled along with it at this moment.

A miracle didn't happen; it still failed to regain control of the barrier, but in this way, it locked onto Li Zhuiyuan's position.

Its mouth opened, and a silent sonic roar was emitted.

Outside the barrier, the ghost generals and Living Person Valley inheritors all received the order from Lord Yama.

They immediately besieged toward the position where Li Zhuiyuan was.

Tan Wenbin extinguished the cigarette butt and threw out the rusty sword.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Binbin, don't be distracted. Next, more people will increase their efforts to place their investigation on us. While ensuring we aren't looked at directly, also dig out the few hidden deepest ones."

"Understood."

Tan Wenbin put away the rusty sword, relit a cigarette, and continued to observe the movement of this street.

Whether it was ghost generals or Living Person Valley inheritors, before arriving at this roof, they hadn't discovered anyone on the roof.

When their figures appeared one by one on the edge of the roof from fast to slow, they saw the true appearance inside clearly.

The three decks of playing cards in Li Zhuiyuan's pocket excitedly requested to fight again.

The youth didn't suppress their enthusiasm and released them.

A Li stood at the youth's side, the closest protector.

As soon as the Loss and Gain Generals appeared, they protected A Li in the center position.

Eyes wide with anger, Dharma appearance majestic, holding weapons and blades, then shouting in unison:

"Evil ghosts, only kill, don't save~"

As former Ghost Kings, they, like Tongzi, had a great advantage when facing forces like the Living Person Valley.

However, A Li's eyes just faded in color, and terrifying scenes appeared in front of all the ghost generals and Living Person Valley inheritors appearing around the roof, which seriously affected their actions.

Wisps of blood light emitted from the blood porcelain bottle, like blood pythons, and also like hands that could constantly extend.

All people or ghosts who set foot on the roof were "gripped."

A Li closed her eyes.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of explosions sounded.

Ghost generals' souls flew away and scattered, living people exploded into blood mist.

The blood-colored porcelain bottle shook lightly, the previously released blood light was recovered, and the "nutrients" gripped were brought along, all submerging into the bottle.

The broken part outside the bottle was slightly filled in.

The Loss and Gain Generals, who were preparing for a big battle to perform well, looked around and suddenly discovered that there were no enemies on the roof. In order not to make themselves look so awkward, they had to strike a new pose, stand firm, and then shout in unison again:

"Evil ghosts, only kill, don't save~"

After killing a batch, a new batch appeared.

The blood-colored porcelain bottle in A Li's hand shook again, and the blood hand reached out.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

This batch that came up also followed the predecessors and became the lacquer for the blood porcelain bottle to complete itself.

The Loss and Gain Generals looked at each other, turned around the girl, adjusted their positions, and raised their weapons to strike a new pose:

"Evil ghosts, only kill, don't save~"

A Li looked at Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan understood the girl's meaning. The blood porcelain bottle was sealed by him with blood, and he had already sensed the restlessness produced by the blood porcelain bottle due to swallowing too much at once.

A Li's fingertips touched the blood porcelain bottle lightly, and the blood porcelain bottle had a tendency to melt. This was to "reshape" a certain evil spirit that had once been drawn into a painting by A Li.

It wasn't that every evil spirit suppressed by Li Zhuiyuan during his river-walking journey could be "summoned." The prerequisite was that they had appeared in A Li's dreams. Although it was Li Zhuiyuan who suppressed them, in terms of familiarity, the youth was far inferior to the girl.

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is too tiring."

A Li stopped the movement in her hand, and the blood porcelain bottle returned to normal.

Li Zhuiyuan's fingertips flicked left and right, and the barrier formed by the silk threads collectively turned outward, the vibration transmitted, creating sound thunder.

Ordinary people hearing this movement would only think it was thundering, and the next action would be to look up at the sky to see if it would rain.

But in the ears of those watching the fun, it was a majestic voice:

"Everyone, there are too many flies, help me hit them."

Xu Mofan: "How arrogant!"

Zhu Yiwen: "Huh, this doesn't look like wanting to carry the flag in this wave, but rather like wanting to eat alone."

A ghost general from afar passed quickly behind Xu Mofan.

It treated Xu Mofan as an ordinary person and didn't pay attention, just focusing on executing the order from Yama.

Xu Mofan's gaze condensed, his palm spread out, a spear tip held in Xia He's arms flew into his palm, and he thrust it out.

"Puff!"

The spear tip pierced through the ghost general's chest.

The ghost general looked back at Xu Mofan with difficulty.

It didn't expect that right on this street, such an expert was hidden.

Xu Mofan slapped the spear body with his palm, and the ghost general exploded.

Immediately, the remaining spear sections in the cloth bag in Xia He's arms all flew out, the long spear in Xu Mofan's hand was assembled completely, his figure leaped up, arriving above the vegetable market. A Living Person Valley inheritor saw this and immediately prepared to cast a spell, but before the spell was successfully condensed, the spear tip had already pierced through his brow.

That voice, arrogant as it was, was very much in line with the temper of the spear.

Zhu Yiwen sucked the last bit of "chicken feet" in his mouth, patted the windowsill in front of him with his palm, retreated, and fell from the windowsill behind.

This area in front was occupied by that spear, so he went to find another place.

Two ghost generals advanced rapidly. Zhu Yiwen threw out the "chicken feet" in his hand, circling a ghost general like a hook lock, and then drew out a folding fan, fanning it toward another ghost general. In an instant, flying sand and moving stones.

When Zhu Yiwen landed, the two ghost generals were all suppressed together.

Closing the fan, he slapped it with his other hand.

"Slap!"

"Bang!"

The two ghost generals were annihilated.

There was no self-satisfaction on the scholar's face, but rather a touch of solemnity.

Because the guy who first killed ghosts on this street didn't necessarily have lower efficiency than himself, yet that person had been trapped in the barrier by that Yama for so long.

The one who relied on the barrier to transmit sound just now was definitely not the first one. Analyzing his tone and posture, the first one was afraid that he was really the subordinate of the sound transmitter just now.

To make a rough analogy, this meant that he could only go to the sound transmitter's team and be a subordinate?

The pride in the scholar's heart made him unable to accept this fact.

More and more people took action.

A bald man grabbed a Living Person Valley inheritor and knocked him on his bald head, directly smashing him to pieces.

After smashing, he even took out a mirror, wiped his bald head, and checked his hairstyle.

A youth held a seal and blasted out, blasting two Living Person Valley inheritors into slag.

There was also a youth who threw out a thunder whip, "crackle," sending two ghost generals to bathe in thunder and turn into ashes.

After finishing their moves, they immediately looked in each other's direction.

It seemed that they were all surprised that the other party also appeared in this wave.

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiaoyuan, Tao Zhiming and Ling Wuxing, those two from the Dragon King family, have also come. The group of faces seen at the Yu family last time are all gathered this time."

Just at this moment, a sound of a chess piece falling on the board came. In this sound, there was a faint bloody stickiness, followed by the second sound, the third sound. Every time a piece fell, it represented the end of a person or ghost.

The other party didn't deliberately look for them, but rather it seemed like they deliberately went to gather in the direction where the pieces fell, voluntarily going to meet death.

This kind of formation means and atmosphere had already reached a realm.

Moreover, this person must have come from a famous sect, with pure chess paths. Even in the killing, it revealed a sense of uprightness and auspiciousness.

But after clearing the Living Person Valley people and ghosts near him, he didn't stop, but continuously emptied three pieces. The fourth piece hit toward the barrier position.

He wasn't trying to save the Yama inside. If that were the case, he wouldn't have targeted the Living Person Valley just now. He wanted to touch the formation art with that mysterious sound transmitter.

In Tan Wenbin's field of vision, he saw wisps of charm constantly falling and dispersing from the front, getting closer and closer to himself.

Until above his head, the clouds seemed to condense into a white piece, about to fall on him with a bang.

Tan Wenbin didn't dodge, but moved his gaze elsewhere, continuing to search for other hidden people.

Behind,

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, making a falling piece gesture.

The evil flood dragon flew over, circling its body, looking like a huge black piece, falling along with the youth's action.

"Bang!"

In a hotel room, a handsome man with a chessboard in front of him had his right ring finger covered in blood.

The man put his hand in front of him. On his ring finger, there were bite marks, and the wound was ferocious.

In front of the man sat a woman with the height and figure of a young girl but a mature face. Seeing this, she couldn't believe it and said:

"Xiaoyu, the other party's formation attainments..."

"Above mine!"

Luo Xiaoyu put the injured ring finger into his mouth to suck and stop the bleeding, and then swept all the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him to the ground. A big man, at this time, looked like a child throwing a tantrum:

"The elders in the family taught since childhood that the way of formations is like the way of chess, introspective and cultivating the heart, hiding the weapon in the body." ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
