Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1278 - 233:

"Master, look quickly!"

Lin Fu'an lowered his head and saw the position of Lin Shuyou's name on the temple register gradually turning black, as if it had been scorched, until it was completely covered.

The two lifted their heads to look at the shattered statue of the child on the platform, then lowered their heads to look at the temple register in their hands.

An absurd yet highly possible suspicion rose in their hearts:

"Ah You has run away with Lord Child?"

...

The monkey had long noticed the commotion over there, but it was still entangled with Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin, and the situation developed too quickly; one moment it was kneeling, the next it was sealing.

Clearly without any prelude, yet unfolding like lightning.

In short, before it could withdraw to intervene, over there, the White Crane True Monarch had completed the ritual, standing up and facing here, the familiar True Monarch aura began to permeate.

The monkey was the earliest follower of Sun Baishen, and its favorite thing was to run up to whoever Sun Baishen had just appointed as a new True Monarch and show off its seniority, saying, "I'll cover you from now on."

Every time, Sun Baishen would stand by with a pampering look.

But this time, the newly appointed True Monarch was clearly coming for it.

The monkey sneered, "You fake Bodhisattva, you still dare to continue appointing!"

Lin Shuyou stepped forward, activating the Three-step Praise he had used countless times in the past, displaying far greater speed than ever before.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Shuyou appeared in front of the monkey, raising the Double Mace high.

The monkey was about to wield its stick, but Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin fiercely intervened again, recklessly blocking its movements.

This showdown was long no longer a battle, lacking proper forms and the so-called beauty of confrontation, only the most primitive swamp brawl.

Their behavior long resembled a wild beast more than the monkey.

"Bang!"

Lin Shuyou crossed the Double Mace and swung out afterimages, smashing heavily onto the monkey's chest.

For the first time, the monkey completely lost its footing, retreating awkwardly, and a blunt injury depression appeared on its chest.

Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin also took the opportunity to leave the monkey's body, landing beside Lin Shuyou.

Run Sheng, who had the most contact with the monkey, naturally faced the greatest threat, was more taken care of, he was severely burned all over, barely a patch of good skin left.

With the gate of energy opening and closing, the wounds were forced to tear again, pus constantly oozing out.

Comparatively, Tan Wenbin's burns were less severe; his body was naturally cold, and besides, the two young ones actively absorbed the flames, enduring more pain and injury themselves to protect their godfather's body.

Lin Shuyou glanced at his two sides, remorseful for coming late, yet thankful for finally arriving.

Meanwhile, Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils noticed that it suddenly brightened a lot around him, like two spotlights shining on both sides, enveloping his two partners.

Run Sheng, almost indescribably injured, slowly raised his twisted arms, growling lowly like a beast from his throat.

The burned areas didn't heal but transformed into a special hard dry form, like being encased in a crusty shell, rubbing and colliding with the energy gate pulsations.

The twisted and broken joints didn't restore after intense internal friction but became more incongruous, yet turned for better or worse, affecting usage the least. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Knew he was Run Sheng, otherwise Lin Shuyou would have thought standing beside him was a fierce giant Deadman!

The changes in Tan Wenbin became even more bizarre, still standing on his toes, his body no longer expanding as before with Ghost Control Skill, but rather seeming deflated internally, muscles beginning to shrivel, hair gradually whitening, his whole form increasingly resembling an evil ghost crawling from the underworld.

As Li Zhiyuan told True Monarch Pu Du, they also had allies.

No matter if Sun Baishen was a True Bodhisattva or fake Bodhisattva, this was at least his domain.

Initially, Sun Baishen and True Monarch Pu Du's struggle had formed a balance, but the appearance of Li Zhiyuan broke this balance.

Theoretically, Li Zhiyuan's Karmic Fire could burn away as much of True Monarch Pu Du's white light as could add more darkness for Sun Baishen there.

Therefore, at root, the consumption between the youth and True Monarch Pu Du provided leverage for their side.

The monkey twirled a flower stick, its expression somewhat grim; initially believing the ants could be easily stomped to death, not only were they not stomped dead, but increasingly becoming a threat.

The main reason being that the person who previously helped heal and restore during its charge was now standing on the opposing side.

And True Monarch Pu Du, still enveloped with that youth in white light, failed to quickly resolve the ones before them, True Monarch Pu Du also hadn't resolved the youth yet.

The previously supremely confident monkey felt slight unease, but soon its monkey eyes tightened, becoming resolutely firm again.

It stood with the True Bodhisattva, impossible to lose!

"Dong!"

The monkey's stick stood on the ground, the flames on its body still burning, fresh blood resurged, pouring into the stick, which reddened and heated, vaguely flowing, like magma.

"It's useless, no matter how much help you give them, you still can't change the outcome, because I, am the most capable True Monarch under your hand once!"
