Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1575 287:

Official?Lin Shuyou's stride faltered slightly as he charged forward.

He had just told Brother Xiao Yuan that he wanted to help Brother Bin capture those two bastards, but he hadn't expected the boomerang to come back to him so quickly.

Although he was now a True Monarch, in his emotional cognition, he still considered himself a member of the officials.

In stark contrast to Lin Shuyou's mindset was the child within him.

The rapid twitching of his eyelids showed the child's extreme impatience.

Of course, Lin Shuyou's hesitation lasted only a moment. He knew it was his responsibility to protect Mr. Zhai and the others, so even if the official was acting, he must stop it!

The Shuping opened, and the White Crane True Monarch appeared once again, this time, from the very start, without holding back or suppressing his aura.

The cold white-toned patterns emerged from deep within his skin, with other detailed depictions fitting perfectly with his body. Even without wearing opera costumes or an official hat, upon his appearance, the imposing presence was enough to crush the usual wandering spirits seen daily.

Those two officials didn't summon the Zeng and Sun duo.

One, with tiger eyes and a mustache, full of masculinity, wielding a broken blade, was the Tiger Lord General;

The other, with black and white intertwined after opening the face, exuded intense eeriness, holding an executioner's blade, was the Yin Yang Official.

Before the Divination, they were knocked away by Tan Wenbin using the Blood Ape Power. This time, after the Divination, they took the initiative to attack.

Tan Wenbin intended to fight back, but after sensing Lin Shuyou's aura, he simply retracted his hands and stepped back.

The Tiger General and Official thought Tan Wenbin was afraid and continued to approach, soon pressing again in front of Tan Wenbin. The broken blade slashed diagonally, blocking his movements, while the executioner's blade swept horizontally, aiming for a frontal attack.

At this moment, a hand reached out, first lifting the upper end of the executioner's blade, preventing it from returning to its position, while the other hand pinched the back of the broken blade, stopping it from advancing even an inch.

In the rapid exchange, both sides could only rely on instinctual reactions for their next move.

The broken blade trembled, rolling the blade body, trying to cut the restraining hand to pieces; the executioner's blade released a cold glint, with a pressure blossoming, intending to make the person in front surrender.

The White Crane True Monarch exerted force through his fingertips, forcibly stabilizing the broken blade, then lifted a foot, kicking the Tiger General away; immediately after, Shuping flickered, suppressing the majesty of the executioner's blade's cold glint while using the twisting momentum from the prior kick to shoulder-ram the Official, who was also knocked away.

The skirmish happened in an instant, yet it was all about direct combat in strength and presence. Clearly, the White Crane True Monarch achieved a complete victory, and his Double Mace was not even by his side, meaning he repelled the enemies unarmed.

The Tiger General and Official got up as soon as they hit the ground, both showing astonishment in their eyes, not just because of the opponent's strength, but more because of the extremely familiar aura emanating from the opponent.

Soon, they recognized the identity of the opponent, and immediately spoke in unison:

"Child?"

"Impudent!" The White Crane True Monarch stepped forward, his upper body slightly inclined towards them, Shuping radiating strong authority, and said solemnly:

"In that old temple, you called me a child, I didn't argue with you, but now, what should you honor me as?"

The matters of the White Crane Child, they knew, but not much.

They only knew that the White Crane Child suddenly left the temple and was removed from the rolls, but no decree came from above to declare them a rebel, and it seemed to have ended just like that.

Since the Child's departure, a new wave of squeezing and crowding out happened internally among the officials, eventually selecting two to replace the past duties of the Child.

Why two... because the errands and tasks handled by the Child in the past were too many, a single Yin God couldn't fulfill them all, leading to the creation of two.

Because of this, there were cries of resentment internally among the officials, as the Child caused delays in public affairs for everyone.

Actually, Zeng and Sun knew a bit of internal information, especially General Sun, who understood the most, but precisely because of this, General Sun found it hard to speak out, so could only remain silent.

Seeing they were slow to answer him with a title, the Child breathed heavily, eyes showing anger.

Tiger General: "Child, why don't you return quickly and plead guilty!"

Official: "We can still, on old sentiments, plead a few words for you!"

Tiger General: "Do you know how much trouble you've caused for the government office by leaving your post without authorization!"

Official: "Child, could it be you've forgotten the duties of an official and the vow made before the Bodhisattva!"

"Heh."

The Child laughed.

As a long-existing Yin God, if the days in the old government office were bearable, then even if positioned last, what would it matter, typically one should have long been accustomed and worn down.

In other words, the Child's relentless pursuit of progress was precisely because it was truly unhappy in the old office.

Clearly the most senior, yet pushed to the bottom; clearly doing the most, yet only assigned trivial tasks when young Divination Child performed divinations.

Even until now, they still hold their heads high, bossing around.

The past self could only bow and endure with gritted teeth, but if the current self can still continue to endure, wouldn't the past bets and change of allegiance all be for naught?

Blood light swirled in the Shuping.

But the Child still retained a sliver of clarity, eyes turning towards the slowly approaching youth not far away.

Li Zhiyuan spoke:

"Break them, I only want to keep the Divination Child for questioning."

The corners of the Child's mouth lifted into a curve, and the entire being became excited and at ease.

Setting aside the initial time being trained by that youth... no, it should be called the period of adjustment,
