If Li's family can endure, then they can surely persevere. If they can't, then whatever you do is meaningless.

Zhao Yi even thought that Li's family is currently unable to be distracted, otherwise, he would surely refuse what the two women are doing. Not out of concern for their efforts, but because Li's family hasn't practiced martial arts, what you're doing might cause his qi and blood to flow backward, eliciting a counter-effect.

After calibrating his breath, Zhao Yi moved to the upper position, taking the place vacated by Yin Meng.

When the next wave of attack commenced, Zhao Yi dared not completely trust the boy in this state. He also observed the frequency change in the attacks of the other three. When a strike was perfectly achieved, once again forcing the Tomb Master to adopt a complete defense mechanism, Zhao Yi finally relaxed.

It was confirmed that even in this state, Li's family still maintained precise breath to guide himself.

Persisting round after round, Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou were nearing their limits, but they continued to squeeze out time based on their rich experience of reaching their limits.

Tan Wenbin could no longer squeeze anything out.

"Brother Binbin, for the next round of attack, give it your all, Yin Menghui will assist your withdrawal."

"Understood!"

In the next round of attack, Tan Wenbin gave all he had. Once the target was reached, he barely had the strength to retreat, his body turned limp like mud. Luckily, Yin Meng's whip lashed out in time, wrapping around him and dragging him back, out of the battlefield.

Before falling unconscious, Tan Wenbin made an effort to open his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuan over there. The "drop in the bucket" from the two women had ended, and they had fainted on their sides.

Brother Xiao Yuan still knelt there on one knee, blood flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Even so, in the next round of attack after Tan Wenbin's withdrawal, the boy's right palm still gathered blood to inject into the red porcelain-like array flag, invoking the power of the array, perfectly substitution.

Zhao Yi completely relaxed, knowing he had survived!

Run Sheng and Ah You were at their last gasp, but the Tomb Master's persistence surely wouldn't last longer.

Sure enough, after three rounds of successive confrontations, the Tomb Master stopped there.

At this time, Zhao Yi also noticed that Li's family's breath became disorderly, as if everyone was reaching their limit.

The Tomb Master opened its mouth, letting out an indistinct sound; this was three voices at once, incomprehensible to normal people.

Zhao Yi understood.

"You have passed the test. I will await your visit in Fengdu."

"Opportunists are ultimately not worthy of a place in the grand hall and are negligible."

"Sincerely kneel and kowtow, tread on knees through Fengdu, and there may still be a sliver of survival."

After understanding, Zhao Yi wished he hadn't understood, feeling nauseous inside.

Clearly, it's them who are unprincipled, wielding power over the weak without saying, continually changing the rules shamelessly.

Yet, still having the nerve to put on an aloof posture when failing to meet their target, as if today's affairs are them showing mercy.

But no matter how aggrieved or impatient Zhao Yi was, as the "party of grievance," he truly couldn't show it.

When Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou were teetering, and Li Zhiyuan's breath was unable to stabilize, only he could step up and respond with diplomatic words.

Zhao Yi first performed the Zhao family's ceremonial salutation, then politely said:

"The youngsters were reckless, unaware of the vastness of the heavens, when they visit Fengdu someday, they will surely conduct grand rituals and provide abundant offerings to meet needs and repay the kindness.

Today's guidance is deeply remembered, fear and disturbance encroaching, please forgive our acts.

Here, respectfully see the gentlemen off."

Everyone loves reveling in emotions and grudges, but circumstances are stronger than people; the ability to fight to this scene is already very commendable, and yet it is based on the opponent's unwillingness to suffer injuries and pay a price.

They desire flattery, so just humor them. As for what the actual scene in Fengdu is like, that's for later.

Looking like it's about to end, spouting any harsh words at this time would be truly foolish if it pushes one of the trio to a point where they would pay the price to deal with you.

Those who like to win cheap verbal victories are fools.

Under the feet of the Tomb Master, black lines appeared, signaling its departure.

At this moment, behind Zhao Yi, came Li's family's hoarse and weak voice:

"What, leaving already?"

Zhao Yi, upon hearing this, shuddered and immediately pointed forward at the Tomb Master, disdainfully saying:

"Indeed, lacking any semblance of rules, like they were raised by a small maid!"

The weakened Lin Shuyou looked at the Three-eyed incredulously, this change from haughty to courteous was indeed too swift.

In fact, Zhao Yi knew that Li's family dared say such words, it's either that Li's family has gone mad or Li's family has gained enough confidence.

He believed it was the latter, so this moment was the chance to seize the verbal advantage without waiting for anything!

The Tomb Master raised its head, gaze penetrating all barriers, falling on the boy in the distance.

The boy stood up, his body swayed continuously, somewhat stiff, with his qi and blood flowing backward uncomfortably.

He glanced at the remaining blood stains on the ground and the fainted Liang Sisters at his side, understanding what the two had done for him.

Well, it had side effects, but overall, it was slightly beneficial; at least he could still stand up and had the strength to speak loudly.

The Tomb Master opened its mouth once more, its voice echoing:

"Arrogant!"

"Reckless!"

"Scoundrel!"

The black lines under its feet were still operating, indicating they hadn't left.

Yet, the black lines hadn't disappeared, suggesting they were still merely uttering harsh words before leaving.

Since the effect of the three incense sticks obscuring the heavenly mechanism was about to end, timely departure was needed, hence risking exposure beneath the Heavenly Dao.

They were unwilling to bear injuries during combat, much less a much higher price.

Previously accumulated blood on the ground, mostly shed by Li Zhiyuan himself, saving it from being wasted.

The ground's blood was stimulated, materializing a blood-colored pattern beneath the boy's feet.

If scrutinized meticulously, the details were exactly like those of the black lines.

Li Zhiyuan raised his hand.

The Tomb Master raised its head.

Li Zhiyuan pressed his fingertips against his forehead.

The Tomb Master followed suit with the same gesture. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The next moment,

The boy and the Tomb Master simultaneously opened their mouths:

"Break!"

The blood-colored pattern beneath the boy's feet exploded, the black lines under the Tomb Master's feet shattered.

Bloodstains lingered between Li Zhiyuan's teeth; he spread his hands, extending toward all directions, like a hospitable host, doing his utmost to fulfill the host's duties.

The boy smiled:

"Since you've come, why don't you stay?"
