The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Sunset in the forest

Mo Jie's limbs could move freely, but the three silver nails in his chest pierced his magic core.

As long as he moved even a little, the magic core would show signs of cracking, and he would instantly feel excruciating pain, as if he would be reduced to ashes in the next second.

Mo Jie could only pull it out straight ahead: "It seems that the silver nail on my chest will require me to use all my strength to protect my heart meridian!"

While thinking, he slowly raised his hands straight up. The movement seemed slow but contained endless power.

As he raised his arm, the huge black curtain that originally covered the entire Sucheng began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible giant hand was closing it.

The darkness seemed to be summoned, continuously converging towards Mo Jie.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a thick black mist, spinning rapidly around Mo Jie like a black whirlwind.

Then, something shocking happened - the black mist actually drilled into the palms of Mo Jie's open hands, as if it had found its way home, and quickly sank into his palms.

The black mist flowed along Mo Jie's palm into his blood vessels, heading straight for his heart without any obstruction.

During this process, you can see a faint black light appearing on the surface of Mo Jie's skin, which is looming and looks mysterious and weird.

When the last trace of black mist completely merged into Mo Jie's heart, the originally dark and dim sky instantly became bright.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds like a sharp sword, shining directly onto the towers and walls of Sucheng.

However, at this moment, people discovered that the hideous monsters that had been hiding in the darkness were now exposed.

These monsters are grotesque in shape, some have twisted and deformed bodies, and some are covered with ferocious fangs and sharp claws.

Their faces are blurry, making it difficult to distinguish their specific facial features, but just one glance is enough to make one feel a deep fear and disgust.

What’s even more terrifying is that most of these monsters’ bodies are badly broken, as if they had experienced an extremely brutal battle.

Just when people were terrified, these monsters suddenly seemed to sense some danger and turned around and fled.

They dragged their broken bodies and moved with extraordinary agility, disappearing without a trace in a flash, leaving behind only a messy street and frightened crowds.

With a heart-wrenching groan, one of the silver nails that was nailed into Mo Jie's chest was forced out.

The big hole in his chest caused by the nails was gushing out black blood, and the healing speed was far slower than that of the wound on his leg.

The ordinary people in Sucheng who became puppets suddenly lost consciousness and fainted on the ground. No one knew whether it was good or bad?

Zuo Nian's heart started pounding when he saw this scene. He looked around and saw people falling down everywhere.

"Why did they withdraw? Was it just to catch us off guard, or was it just a show of force?"

Mu Qi held the Longyan Spear and sat down on the steps beside him, gasping for breath from exhaustion.

Just one look and you could see there wasn't a single piece of good flesh on his body, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his face was covered in bruises.

"If it weren't for Brother Xu's help, I, Mu Qi, would have died here today!"

Zuo Nian squatted down and checked the breath of a civilian who had fainted on the ground: "He's still breathing, still alive!"

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he moved back and forth among the lying crowd as if relieved, checking the breathing of more than ten people in a row.

Zuo Nian couldn't hear a word of Mu Qi's drowsy words. When he turned around and looked at Mu Qi with relief.

The Longyan Spear in Mu Qi's hand fell to the ground as if it had lost its strength, making a crisp collision sound, and rolled down the steps.

Mu Qi's eyelids drooped as he muttered to himself, "I'm a major general of the Mu family, only twenty-two years old, and I'm going to die here today..."

The sound became smaller and smaller, like the buzzing of a fly, and only he could hear it!

Finally, Mu Qi simply closed his eyes and fell backwards, as if his soul had really returned to heaven.

Zuo Nian had finally put his mind at ease, but when he saw Mu Qi fainted, his heart suddenly became heavy again.

"Muqi, Muqi..."

Zuo Nian fired a flare and launched into the sky, firing a signal shot in the already clear sky.

The streets of Sucheng were filled with Qingshan Sect disciples cleaning up the battlefield. They supported each other and walked back and forth in groups.

General Mu Lao, who had already walked back and forth to carve out a sand pit, immediately gave the order when he saw the signal.

"Lieutenant General Lin, lead the infantry battalion to provide support, and bring the military doctor along with you."

Xu Zhi also vomited blood because of excessive use of his immortal power. His face was as pale as white paper and he returned to the upper room of the inn.

Hua Ye was sleeping peacefully in bed. Xu Zhi had already set up a barrier to isolate her inside so that she could recover in peace.

He didn't want to disturb her, so he floated in the air in the middle of the room, crossed his legs, and started muttering to himself, as if he was regulating his internal energy and recovering his spiritual power.

Zuo Yun directed the arriving Mu family soldiers: "Place them all in a safe place. It would be best if they can all be placed indoors. After all, under the scorching sun, those with weak constitutions might not be able to wake up."

"Yes, Major General Zuo!"

The Mu family army, who were used to seeing the bloodshed on the battlefield, were shocked to see people lying on the ground like cold corpses all over the city, and they stood there in a daze.

"What are you still standing there for? It's getting dark soon and it's cold outside. Hurry and move everyone inside."

Zuo Yun scolded, bringing their senses back.

Some strong and healthy people with special physical conditions woke up early, but the old, weak and sick were in a very bad situation...
