The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The figure appeared in Ye Hua's vision like a flash of lightning. It was so familiar that the moment he saw it, Ye Hua's heart trembled violently.

In an instant, crystal tears burst out from her beautiful and narrow almond-shaped eyes like a flood, quickly filling her entire eye sockets. They were red, like ripe cherries, and very adorable.

Zhu Jiuyin on the side remained silent, just standing there quietly, motionless.

However, his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on her without blinking, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Even others can clearly feel the attachment and reluctance.

But the situation at the moment is extremely serious and full of crises. It is not the time to greet each other and reminisce about the past.

At this critical moment, Zhu Jiuyin turned around without hesitation, like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye he had Xu Zhi and Ye Hua firmly protected behind him.

At the same time, raging flames suddenly rose from his body. The flames were like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and madly devouring everything around it.

In just a moment, Zhu Jiuyin was completely enveloped by the scorching flames, forming an indestructible shield.

The blazing flames emitted suffocating heat and dazzling light, and their mighty posture made everyone sent from Qingcheng Mountain feel frightened.

They involuntarily leaped back, trying to create a safe distance between themselves and Zhu Jiuyin.

Just like that, the people from Qingcheng Mountain, who had originally held an absolute advantage and were so aggressive, suddenly fell into a disadvantage, and the situation on the scene took a dramatic turn in an instant.

"Big Brother, go back and tell Master that I, Ye Hua, will never return to that cage in Qingcheng Mountain again in this lifetime. I will also make him wait for me to avenge the murder of his mother and father. I, Ye Hua, will come to claim my revenge sooner or later."

Ye Hua's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were staring coldly at his senior brother who was not far ahead.

She slowly raised her right arm, with the index and middle fingers of her right hand slightly bent, like an arrow ready to be shot.

In an instant, a flame intertwined with white and blue rose from the fingertips, like a colorful flower blooming in the air.

With a wave of Ye Hua's arm, the blazing ball of fire rushed towards the eldest brother like a meteor.

At the same time, the sword in her hand also came out, the sharp sword energy and the hot flames echoed each other, forming a powerful force that directly pressed against the opponent.

With a loud "bang", the fireball accurately hit the huge warship docked above the fairy island.

In an instant, the fire shot up into the sky, as if a roaring fire dragon opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the entire warship.

The originally pitch-black night sky was illuminated by the sudden fire and became as bright as day.

Even the surrounding clouds were dyed a fiery red, and half of the sky seemed to be soaked in blood.

At this time, the people on the warship were panicked and in chaos.

They ran around like ants on a hot pan, and their shouts and cries for help resounded through the sky.

Some people tried to put out the flames, but the fire was too fierce and they could not get close to it; others jumped directly into the sea, hoping to escape.

However, in this chaos, Ye Hua's senior brother seemed exceptionally calm and composed.

He stood steadily on the bow above the flames, his posture as straight as a pine tree, staring directly at Ye Hua with cold eyes, and let out a deafening shout.

"Evil creature! How dare you attack your fellow disciples so cruelly! Today I will teach you a lesson about my power!"

The sound was like a loud thunder, echoing endlessly over the entire fairy island, making people feel terrified.

"Little Junior Sister, look at the nonsense you're talking about. When did Master ever kill your parents? I just know that those monsters shouldn't exist in this world, and you shouldn't be associated with them."

"I only know that everything in the world is divided into good and bad, not categories. As long as he is good, I don't care what kind of monster he is. He is my friend, Ye Hua."

Ye Hua was also angry, and without considering the face of the senior brother at all, he directly retorted.

"If we don't agree, there's no point in saying anything. Since you have no intention of returning, I will flatten this Penglai Fairy Island and beat you until you're left with only one breath left to drag you back."

The eldest brother calmly took out his hands that had been hidden behind his back. As he did this, an invisible pressure quietly spread.

Just as everyone's attention was focused, the eldest brother gently raised his green sleeves and waved them.

In an instant, the raging flames that were burning on the warship seemed to be suppressed by some mysterious force, and were extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, the fire that seemed extremely fierce and capable of devouring everything disappeared without a trace, leaving only a charred and devastated scene.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.

When I heard the sound and looked, I saw Xufu and Wutong rushing over.

What was surprising was that there was another person standing steadily behind the two of them.

This man was tall and straight, with a black helmet tightly wrapped around his body, making him look very majestic.

He has a handsome face and a gentle expression, but the pair of black horns on his head are as eye-catching as lightning in the dark night, adding a bit of coldness and aloofness to his whole person.

"You guys from Qingcheng Mountain have gone too far. I haven't even bothered to cause you any trouble, but you've come to me first. Let me give you a taste of your own medicine."

At this moment, Xu Fu's heart was burning with anger. He kept cursing and rushed forward like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he launched a fierce confrontation with Ye Hua's senior brother without reservation.

I saw two figures rapidly shuttling and interweaving in the air, changing positions as quickly as lightning.

The weapons in their hands collided with each other, making bursts of sharp and piercing sounds, as if they could tear people's eardrums.

At the same time, the spells cast by both sides were constantly colliding, stirring up powerful energy fluctuations, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently, as if it would be shattered by this force at any time.

On the warship below, many figures surged down like a tide, instantly surrounding Ye Hua and his companions.

Ye Hua looked around vigilantly. The faces that surrounded her seemed familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar to her.

It turned out that these people were all demon catchers recruited by her master, and each of them possessed unfathomable magical skills.

Moreover, they are filled with extreme resentment and hatred towards monsters, and it can be said that they hate them to the bone.

Because of this, when they attacked, every move was deadly and extremely ferocious and cruel, with no mercy at all, and it was obvious that they wanted to kill their opponents.

Ye Hua gripped her sword tightly, her eyes growing more determined. With a flash of her body, she charged into the crowd, her sword flickering, each strike accurately blocking and counterattacking the enemy's attacks.

Xuzhi's figure flashed and moved quickly behind Yehua like a ghost.

This figure was so illusory that it was almost impossible to see his true appearance, but one could feel a powerful and mysterious aura emanating from him.

At this moment, Xuzhi was like an indestructible fortress, standing firmly behind Yehua, blocking out all factors that might threaten Yehua's safety.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the movements around him vigilantly, as if no movement could escape his sharp gaze.

Wutong beside him was not to be outdone. He formed seals with his hands and waves of spiritual power spread out around him, pushing back several steps anyone who approached.

At this time, the man in black armor also joined the battle.

His horns glowed faintly, and with a wave of his hands, black smoke gushed out. It seemed that countless demon shadows rushed towards the enemy camp in the smoke, and screams were heard everywhere.

On Zhu Jiuyin's side, the flame shield suddenly expanded, engulfing some of the enemies attacking Ye Hua.

Those people were burned by the flames and suffered terribly.

Seeing this, the eldest brother frowned and changed the magic gesture in his hand.

Small warships rose from the sea, equipped with giant crossbows.

The crossbow was aimed at everyone, and just as it was about to fire, the sky suddenly darkened, and the shadow of a giant phoenix appeared.

It cried out, flapped its wings, and the powerful airflow destroyed all the crossbows.

The eldest brother was also damaged by the phoenix shadow and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

He then distanced himself from Xu Fu, clenched his fists and thrust them upwards, shouting, "Retreat!"

As everyone was looking on in astonishment, the eldest senior brother calmly waved his sleeves, and an unparalleled sharp sword energy shot out from his sleeves in an instant!

The sword energy was as fast as lightning, carrying a heart-pounding pressure, and fiercely slashed towards the seemingly indestructible space.

There was only a crisp "swish" sound, and the originally intact space was torn open with a huge hole!

This opening is like a ferocious giant mouth, deep and dark, as if leading to an endless abyss.

However, faced with such an astonishing sight, the eldest brother showed no fear.

His figure flashed like a meteor across the sky, and he jumped without hesitation into the space wormhole that had just been opened.

The speed of its movements and the agility of its posture are so amazing that people can't help but marvel at it.

Behind him, those small fry who usually show off their might did not dare to be negligent at this moment.

They followed closely behind the eldest brother, entering one after another, and jumping into the mysterious space wormhole one after another, like a group of frightened birds rushing into their nests, without a moment's pause or hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, these figures disappeared into the dark cave, as if they had never appeared.

"Why are you running? Grandpa, I haven't fought enough..."

Xu Fu, who had not yet completely vented his anger and had a satisfying fight, immediately had his eyes blazing with anger when he saw the other party trying to escape, and he wanted to rush over and continue chasing him in anger.

However, at this critical moment, fortunately Xuzhi moved quickly and agilely enough, and stood in front of Xufu like a flash of lightning, blocking his way.

If it was just a little bit later, given Xu Fu's impulsive and reckless state at that moment, he would probably really chase after him regardless of the consequences.

If we fall into the trap carefully set by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Maybe he would be easily captured alive by the other party...

"Kid, when will you stop acting so recklessly?" Xu Zhi shook his head helplessly.

"A simple-minded guy with strong limbs."

The man in black armor held his injured arm and gave an expressionless look to the empty belly that was still rushing forward.

Hearing what he said, Xu Fu immediately stopped, turned around and glared at the man.

"Second brother, what do you mean? I have a simple mind and great magical power."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

Only Xu Zhi nodded approvingly: "Yes, yes..."

After that, he calmly arranged matters with a cold face: "You and Wutong go down and check the casualties on the island. Xuheng, the damaged areas of the barrier must be repaired as soon as possible to prevent them from making a comeback."

After hearing his arrangements, they all flew away.

Ye Hua, who was standing aside, focused all her thoughts and gaze on the gradually disappearing phoenix shadow. Suddenly, a memory of her mother flashed through her mind.

When she was born, the divine light of the phoenix, reborn from the flames of desire, shone on her baby face.

My mother seems to have passed on all of her Phoenix power to me, and then sealed it? How can I break this seal?

At this time, Zhu Jiuyin had put out the flames on his body and slowly walked towards Ye Hua, although his face was calm.

But the demon pill trembling in his chest expressed his joy and regret at the long-awaited reunion, as well as his cautious emotions.

When Ye Hua came to his senses, he took a step towards Xu Zhi and brushed past his outstretched hand.

Zhu Jiuyin suddenly froze in place, and his raised hand did not fall even when he turned around to follow Ye Hua.

Ye Hua asked softly, "Bai Ze, do you know anything about that phoenix shadow?"

Xu Zhi shook his head. "This phoenix shadow should be the island protection seal left by the person who founded Penglai Fairy Island."

Ye Hua nodded thoughtfully.

Could it be that this fairy island was built by my mother? Why don't I have any impression of it?

At this time, Wutong came running and interrupted their conversation.

"The casualties on the island were not great, most of them were minor injuries, but that house..."

"Bai Ze, I'm afraid I've implicated you again. It seems that old man Qing You is serious this time and won't let it go."

Ye Hua slowly raised his head and looked solemnly at the once beautiful and fairy-like island. Now, it has become devastated and in ruins.

The originally towering mountain was blown into pieces, as if it had been ruthlessly squeezed by a huge hand.

The lush and dense forest was transformed into charred ruins, with wisps of green smoke rising from time to time.

The magnificent palaces and pavilions on the fairy island were in a terrible state. Some had collapsed into a pile of rubble, while others were on the verge of crumbling and could collapse completely at any time.

"You're talking nonsense! Even if you didn't come, they would have come and leveled this fairy island sooner or later. After all, they've eliminated countless demons and monsters over the years."

As Xu Zhi spoke, his eyes looked more and more determinedly in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain on the sea level.

"What did you say? What on earth happened outside during the years I was asleep?"

Whenever Ye Hua thought about the places they had traveled to being destroyed or even disappeared, he felt his scalp tingling and was filled with fear.

"This...how should I put it..."

Xuzhi thought for a long time and just figured out what to say, Xuheng called him through telepathy.

"Brother, I can't fill some of the barriers. Come here quickly..."

"I'll tell you about these things in detail after I finish cleaning up this island."

Xu Zhi was so anxious that he trotted over while speaking. Finally, he glanced at Zhu Jiuyin who was standing behind Ye Hua without saying a word, and then turned his head back.

"it is good……"
