Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1583 288: Part 4

In other words, Qian Ying's body had been hollowed out in advance.Although such hollowing wouldn't affect normal funeral processes, like allowing her parents to see her one last time, it wouldn't work when used as a last resort for something else.

The restraint on both sides gave Yin Meng an opportunity due to the collapse on one side.

The ghost energy surrounding Wu Lan surged madly into her body, intensifying the burning, and Yin Meng let out a more horrific shriek. At the same time, she spat out three consecutive mists of blood, forcing Run Sheng back once again as he raised the shovel.

Having paid such a great price actively, Yin Meng's entire being became listless. Wu Lan could no longer support alone; the excessively vigorous flames accelerated her fading, and the restraint vanished.

Freed, Yin Meng's body fell backward like a puppet pulled out by someone, her feet almost left the ground, and her legs weakly swayed.

Earlier, she wrapped herself in the Ghost Miasma because she was aware that Qian Ying and Wu Lan had been nearby for a long time. The ones guarding the tomb weren't just the Liang Sisters.

Now that the biggest threat was removed, Yin Meng chose to head westward to leave, but this speed was obviously much slower than before.

A series of small holes appeared again on Run Sheng's body, and the disturbance of Evil Qi was clearly intensified. However, he didn't stop to check his injuries. Instead, he picked up the shovel, facing the direction where Yin Meng departed… Qi Gate fully opened!

Even when the Qi Gate was fully opened within the Ghost Miasma before, Run Sheng couldn't keep up with Yin Meng's speed at that time. Now he can, but has only this one opportunity.

Because it seemed to sense the change in Run Sheng's aura, the opponent's speed, which had originally slowed down, increased again, no longer caring whether Yin Meng's body could still withstand it.

During his sprint, Run Sheng pressed the latch with his fingertips, and the Yellow River Shovel swung, leaving only a stick after the shovel face fell off.

This stick comes from the Peach Forest.

With all his strength, Run Sheng appeared behind Yin Meng, his right hand lifted the peach wood stick, and his left arm locked around Yin Meng's body.

Invisibly, a powerful force attacked Run Sheng, trying to pull him and Yin Meng apart.

Just as they were about to separate, Run Sheng thrusted the peach wood stick towards Yin Meng.

"Puff!"

The stick first pierced through Yin Meng's body and then penetrated Run Sheng, so they were strung together just like this by a single peach wood stick.

The ghost energy on Yin Meng and the Evil Qi on Run Sheng reacted fiercely, and the peach wood stick penetrating through their bodies quickly turned black, sparking as if it were burning.

The previously overwhelming invisible force began to fade at this moment.

Run Sheng lifted his arms and, using the last bit of strength, embraced Yin Meng in front.

Then, they both lost balance and rolled down into the cliff below.

Liang Yan: "I'm going to save them!"

Liang Li: "I'll go inform the boss about the situation here."

...

"Ah..."

The boss was being choked against the tomb wall by the Tomb Master's hands.

What was more terrifying than suffocation was the faintly crushing pressure on his neck.

Yet, from Zhao Yi's perspective, the person strangling him looked ashamed and had tears of heartache streaming from their eyes.

In fact, if the Tomb Master hadn't been restraining themselves with all their might, Zhao Yi's neck would have snapped long ago, with no suspense and no pain.

Three light shadows continually intertwined behind the Tomb Master, creating an extremely eerie and harmonious echo with the solemn mark on the Tomb Master's forehead.

What should have been sealed was now free; the power meant to seal them began to actively embrace them. It is obvious that a new round of amalgamation has been achieved.

"Li, this really can't be played…"

This lineup—Zhao Yi really didn't know how he was supposed to resist. He was still alive only due to the Tomb Master's old friendship with him, but the Tomb Master couldn't keep it up for long.

"Li, I've told you long ago, you shouldn't have acted on your own. You didn't listen. Now look, I'm going to be played to death by you…"

In his heart, Zhao Yi frantically vented against Li Zhiyuan, but on his face, besides the necessary pain, there was understanding, sympathy, recognition, and comfort towards the Tomb Master. He tried to keep his gaze as gentle as possible, as if telling the Tomb Master: I understand you, it's not your fault, don't suffer, just kill me, it's okay.

Only in this way can the Tomb Master's guilt deepen, prompting him to continue to hold on and resist for a while so Zhao Yi could live a bit longer.

Such is human nature; even when faced with a situation of overwhelming odds, Zhao Yi still grasped every chance of survival.

But today, he didn't even know how to break the stalemate or understand the significance of intentionally coming here, as if just to be killed?

Before coming, he'd asked Li to elaborate on the steps.

Li's response was: Do as you please.

Apparently, this didn't express confidence in Zhao Yi's abilities but rather implied that Li himself didn't know what to have Zhao Yi do.

Zhao Yi naturally understood that Li wouldn't purposely have him come here to die.

He knew that Li's knowledge of this wave should be one level higher than his own, but only slightly.

Li probably felt that this empty space needed a piece now; what role this piece serves, he wasn't clear either.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two vibrations shattered the oppressive atmosphere here, and from the broken tomb walls on both sides of the main burial chamber, two people emerged.

One wore armor, looking imposing, with an iron-green face covered with purple sealing paper.
