Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 541: Chapter 99_4

The youth was confident; given more time, if this continued, she was the one who would surely die.

However, just as he had not run far to the northeast, the old woman appeared.

A standoff between two had suddenly turned into a three-person conflict, giving Li Zhiyuan a real headache.

It seemed that the White Crane Child, in the end, had still failed to stop her.

Originally, he had an entire, comprehensive plan to gradually squeeze out Lin Shuyou’s potential and dry him out completely.

But who knew that he would end up "riding" a person.

Seeing Granny Yu already at the reservoir but unexpectedly starting to run in the opposite direction, the old woman shouted immediately:

"You are running the wrong way, you are going the wrong way!"

Li Zhiyuan still clutched the eye sockets of Granny Yu beneath him, continuing to exert influence:

"Keep running, keep on running!"

Both attendants’ voices appeared simultaneously in Granny Yu’s mind, causing a violent conflict.

Granny Yu stopped in her tracks, trapped in painful confusion, but instinctively, she knew she could not stay in place, otherwise, she would definitely be scorched to death by the Karmic Fire; she didn’t have much time left.

The old woman narrowed her eyes, moving swiftly like a cat, darting to the back, intending to launch an attack on Li Zhiyuan mounted on Granny Yu’s back.

She saw that the youth seemed to have some mysterious method of exerting influence on Granny Yu.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t persist; he let go quite straightforwardly, sliding off Granny Yu’s back, then with a series of rolls, he dodged her wildly swinging range.

The old woman was first startled but then continued to shout at Granny Yu: "Turn around and run back, turn around and run back fast!"

While retreating, Li Zhiyuan mentally chanted: "Don’t listen to her, keep running forward, continue forward!"

Granny Yu could only stand still, stomping and slapping the ground in frenzy; she truly didn’t know whom to listen to.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the youth could still exert influence even after leaving Granny Yu’s body, the old woman hesitated no longer and pounced straight towards Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan kept retreating, but the distance between them was closing rapidly.

He felt somewhat helpless; his biggest disadvantage now was the bodily conflict, so he planned to use the Intimidation skill to push her back or plunge her into chaos, just as he had done to Lin Shuyou before in the school building, thus buying time for his escape.

The youth started chanting the spell, with his hands forming seals, focusing spirit at his fingertips.

Just as he was about to release it, a swift figure suddenly appeared, knocking the old woman aside.

The old woman screamed miserably, flung far away.

In her place now stood the figure of the White Crane Child.

Looking at the eight needles sticking out of the White Crane Child, Li Zhiyuan thought with admiration: Zhuangzhuang did well.

After getting back, he would have to tell Zhuangzhuang that there was actually no need for so many, four would have been enough.

Eight... even he felt it was too cruel.

The White Crane Child’s gaze fell on Li Zhiyuan; in the color of its vertical pupils, one could see clear fury.

The next moment, it raised its fist towards Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan’s gaze hardened, and he said, "You want to force me to promise to save your Divination Child afterwards, but I don’t like being threatened."

Hearing this, the White Crane Child’s vertical pupils turned completely red, anger reaching its peak.

Perhaps even it couldn’t comprehend why its Divination Child ended up in such a predicament, being exploited to death like a mule.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t indulge it, pointing towards the direction where the old woman was thrown:

"Go, finish what you need to do."

The White Crane Child’s clenched fist made a sound, yet it didn’t fall on Li Zhiyuan; instead, with a quick movement, it again flipped over the old woman who was just picking herself up, raising its fist and smashing it down on her repeatedly.

As if intending to vent all its boundless rage upon her.

The old woman had no choice but to passively accept the beating, but her gaze fell on Granny Yu, who was still standing there:

"Hurry and turn around... Turn around and run... over there is the reservoir."

Li Zhiyuan slowly approached Granny Yu, raising his left hand, his index finger against his temple: "Don’t listen to her, she is deceiving you; keep running forward, move forward."

Granny Yu turned and ran towards the reservoir.

Li Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the woman being pummeled beneath the White Crane Child, her bones constantly shattering and flying; she was laughing.

Granny Yu listened to her.

It wasn’t that Li Zhiyuan’s acting wasn’t convincing, but at the moment, the old woman was close to dying; she had stubbornly endured two rounds of self-empowerment from the White Crane Child, still retaining an edge, but she couldn’t stand the third round of brutal empowerment forced upon her by the White Crane Child.

Granny Yu heard the death intent in her attendant’s voice, so she believed it.

And this was something Li Zhiyuan temporarily could not imitate unless he actively allowed the White Crane Child to come over and beat him to death.

Soon, Granny Yu rushed into the reservoir, jumped into the water, and disappeared from sight.

The old woman looked at Li Zhiyuan with a triumphant expression; she succeeded, she saved grandma.

Her own life was originally given by grandma, and now she has given her life back to her.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed; if back when she was in her teens, she had just jumped in the river and died, would she have avoided these decades of needless ordeal?

Yet she was still happy, although she really was about to die.

Cracks in her bones began to appear all over her body; if Tan Wenbin were here, he would excitedly shout: She’s almost done for!

Li Zhiyuan didn’t engage in any exchange with the old woman, nor did he want to tell her that Granny Yu had always been on guard against her, that she was also part of Granny Yu’s repair material.
