The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Those people's pale and bloodless faces were stained with white blood, and their empty eyes seemed to be shrouded in a black aura.

Those people's nails, which had not been trimmed for years, were pointed, the veins on their palms were bulging, and even the wrists exposed to the air had those abnormally prominent veins, which were terrifying.

They moved in unison, surrounding Hua Ye and Zuo Nian in the middle, with their fangs and saliva twitching at the corners of their mouths, as if Hua Ye and Zuo Nian had become their meal.

Xu Zhi, looking down at everything from a high vantage point, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: This can't hurt his life? How can I solve this troublesome matter?

"This disgusting thing has even learned to control people. Do you think it's using witchcraft or some other evil magic?"

Hua Ye and Zuo Nian stood back to back, one holding a sword and the other holding a knife in a defensive position, as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side.

The warm and familiar touch on his back made Zuo Nian's eyes slightly red, his heart beat uncontrollably, and he even had difficulty breathing, which made him unable to answer Hua Ye's words for a while.

"Zuo Nian, you blockhead, what am I asking you? I think your title of Heaven-level Monster Catcher is just a name!"

Hua Ye couldn't help but complain, looking at the crowd rushing towards her. She put the sword into her belt and made her hands into knife-shaped hands, covered with fairy energy.

She used her hands and feet to knock down the puppets that pounced on her one after another, with a knife, a front kick and a back kick.

Seeing the puppet that felt no pain getting up from the ground again and again after being knocked down again and again, Hua Ye frowned rarely, his face solemn and looking a little helpless.

Zuo Nian also encountered the same problem. After several rounds, he began to breathe heavily.

The skull hid behind the crowd, and the ten finger bones of both hands kept moving, as if playing ancient music on the guzheng, and from time to time made a creepy sound of dislocated joints.

A sudden figure crawled out from the ground among the crowd of puppets. From a distance, one could tell it was Mu Qi by the two bronze arms with well-developed tendons and flesh exposed to the air.

He held his temple with his right hand, shook his dizzy head vigorously, and opened his dirty eyes.

When the cloudiness in his eyes cleared, he saw two figures, one red and one white, being surrounded by the crowd. Their quick, accurate and ruthless attacks made him recognize them at a glance.

He put his hands on his stomach and clenched them hard. The veins on his arms, which had suddenly become twice as thick, bulged out. He elbowed them with his left elbow and his right elbow, clearing a path and charging into their midst.

"Miss Hua, you're here incredibly fast!"

Mu Qi leaned against Zuo Nian, ready to draw the Longyan Spear from his waist, but was stopped by Hua Ye.

"We can't harm his life! I thought you were one of the puppets, but I didn't expect you to wake up. It seems the poison isn't too serious!"

Seeing him, Hua Ye couldn't help but tease him: "You look more and more like General Mu. You are not as handsome and pleasing to the eye as you were in the past!"

Seeing that she was still so open and naked, speaking without any concealment, Zuo Nian couldn't help but blush slightly during his attack, as if he had thought of something.

"You're already married, but you don't allow this Major General to change? Why haven't I seen your husband? Don't you want to introduce him to someone?" Mu Qi responded by punching a puppet hard on the forehead.

The puppet, with extremely dark yin energy, black forehead and blue face, fell to the ground and never stood up again.

"It's not too late to introduce you to each other when I get the chance to go out!"

Hua Ye glanced at Mu Qi and found the vital points of those puppets, so he shouted: "Hit them on the head and they will faint."

Xu Zhi watched the changes in the situation on the field carefully as a bystander, ready to attack at any time, and couldn't help but worry for Hua Ye in his heart.

Seeing that they had found the puppet's vital point, he couldn't help but feel relieved and sat down on the open space beside him as if watching a show.

The skull couldn't help but feel angry when he saw the puppets he controlled being knocked to the ground one by one and losing their attack power.

With an angry groan, the black and green smoke from the skull continued to spread out, filling the world in the well and enveloping them.

The smoke had a pungent smell that was so disgusting that it made them nauseous and choked them to the point of coughing.

Zuo Nian instantly exerted his strength and a layer of golden light enveloped the three people, isolating the thick smoke outside.

"Miss Hua... Miss Hua, why don't you ask your master to take action? This isn't something he can easily handle."

The two words "Hua Ye" that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed by Zuo Nian, and he used the unfamiliar address of "Miss Hua" instead.

"There's no need for him to take action. It's been a long time since I've met a decent opponent. Why don't you let me have my fun first?"

As he spoke, Hua Ye raised a subtle smile, as if he liked the feeling of fighting to the fullest.

"Could it be that a Heavenly Grade Monster Hunter like you, a god-like figure in the monster hunting world, can't even take down this tiny skull-headed monster?"

Mu Qi timidly glanced at the skull hidden in the thick smoke, then looked back at the two people standing beside him and teased.

"Look, I can't take him down!"

The method of provoking the opponent always works in front of the strong-willed Hua Ye, and he will almost certainly take the bait.

She hid her figure and shuttled back and forth in the thick smoke. Her speed was so fast that even Zuo Nian, who had opened his third eye, could not keep up with her movements.

White flames burst out from Hua Ye's body, and as soon as they came into contact with the thick smoke, they melted it into the air.

As he appeared behind the skull in a flash, a throat-locker quickly pulled out the dagger from his boots, injected it with immortal power, and stabbed it into his crown.

In an instant, the black smoke with green light dissipated, leaving only a soulless skeleton falling to the ground, making a few crisp sounds of bones hitting the ground.

Before they could react, the battle ended in surprise, and they both sighed inwardly.

"He is indeed a god-like existence!"

"It seems that the gap between us cannot be made up by hard work..."
