Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1231 - 223_4

The scene immediately fell into a balance of power.

Wu Qinhai stared at Run Sheng in astonishment; he hadn't expected Brother Bin's friend to be so strong.

Without delay, he tilted his head back, his arms and legs began to swing rapidly, chanting:

"Great Immortals, reveal your spirit, Great Immortals, reveal your spirit!"

As the swinging ended, his aura changed, becoming more sinister while also a bit chaotic.

Run Sheng had seen a similar situation before in Nantong with Xin Jiyue; after divination, the power descending upon him seemed ephemeral and disordered.

Wu Qinhai bent down, grabbing the ground with both hands, and pebbles actively adhered to his hands. When his hands couldn't hold anymore, they began to climb upward—soon pebbles of varying sizes covered his arms and even his chest.

Accompanied by a low shout, he flung his arms forward, sending all the pebbles hurtling towards the Lighthouse Elder.

Each pebble carried immense force; being hit by one would leave a normal person severely injured and spitting blood.

Earlier in the cave, he had caused waves in a similar manner.

Facing these rapidly striking pebbles, the Lighthouse Elder swung his left leg forward, pulling out a thin lock chain that flicked in front of him, forming a curtain.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Half of the pebbles hit the elder, and were all smashed apart; the remaining half seemed to have lost their aim naturally, embedding in the surrounding gaps.

Run Sheng's expression was solemn; during their "tug-of-war", the opponent was unyieldingly standing on one leg, while Run Sheng couldn't sense any weakening in their strength, proving their physique far surpassed his own.

To win against him, Run Sheng either had to rely on opening his energy gates for a desperate chance, or rely on wearing him out.

The purple glow in the opponent's eyes was clearly an abnormal state; similar to Lin Shuyou's divine invocation, once exhausted, their strength should dramatically decline.

Run Sheng's head felt slightly itchy.

With Xiao Yuan not directing him, he had to analyze the situation and tactics himself, which he felt a bit unaccustomed to.

However, he trusted that Xiao Yuan had a purpose for not directing.

Wu Qinhai, unfazed by having his attack easily dispelled, was neither surprised nor discouraged; he was aware of the opponent's terror from prior contact. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Now, with competent help beside him, he felt he could exchange a few more moves with the opponent.

His arms opened wide, then snapped shut fiercely, clapping his hands together to quickly form a seal, moving it in front, and said in a deep voice:

"Rise!"

The pebbles scattered around the Lighthouse Elder began to tremble, arranging themselves into an array, then collectively shattered, transforming into dust to envelop the Lighthouse Elder.

Run Sheng looked at Wu Qinhai beside him with surprise, as although the opponent's absolute strength was lacking, their method was indeed ingenious and actually worked.

"Buzz!"

All the dust adhered to the Lighthouse Elder, making him appear as if coated in grey paint.

Wu Qinhai was delighted upon seeing this, promptly proceeded to the next step, as his hands formed various seal gestures, patterns began to emerge on the elder's body.

Next was to trigger the patterns, causing them to take effect, which could seriously wound him.

However, the Lighthouse Elder merely shook his body, and all adhesives including his original clothes exploded.

"Puff!"

Wu Qinhai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, falling to one knee on the ground.

Run Sheng sighed inwardly; no matter the idea, without absolute strength to back it up, it ultimately remained futile.

Nonetheless, Run Sheng noticed something peculiar—the opponent seemed solely focused on the tug-of-war with him, rather than advancing to further engage him in combat, despite enduring disturbances from Wu Qinhai.

It seemed...as though the sole purpose was to hold him back.

Compared to the tug-of-war here, the battle on the other side was more direct and even brutal.

The grandma moved agilely, blinking a few times before reaching the platform, where her long spear thrust directly towards Lin Shuyou's vital points.

Lin Shuyou had fully completed divination at this moment, and the White Crane Child's power descended.

The child first sidestepped, dodging the spear, then his right hand formed a virtual grip, condensing a skill-formed trident, stabbing towards the grandma.

The grandma didn't dodge, instead advancing, letting the trident pierce her chest, while the spear shaft swung, striking the child's body heavily.

It wasn't until the strike landed that the child realized the previous thrust was a feint, not exerting full force; it was this swing that harbored the opponent's true intent to attack.

The child's figure was struck flying, leaving a blood hole in the grandma's chest, blood dripping.

Yet she disregarded her wound, immediately pursuing.

The shipmaster also cast out a fishing net, intending to ensnare the child.

After landing, the child quickly flipped stance, but couldn't escape the fishing net's coverage; as it was about to fall, his right hand condensed the trident again, propping the net up, and used his left hand to take out the real trident, stabbing towards the shipmaster.

The shipmaster didn't dodge, remaining standing, watching as the trident pierced his chest.

He only focused on retracting his hands, the net swiftly enveloping the child fully, restricting his movement.

The grandma's spear also reached at this moment.

The spear tip exuded icy glimmers, the rhythm of her body and spear became one, aimed straight at the child.

At this moment, the child was actually against the shipmaster.

Meaning, if this spear thrust down, piercing through the child, it would inevitably also pierce through the shipmaster behind him.
