However, how could mortals possibly withstand the power of the stars?
With a series of metallic clanging sounds, Black Wolf's defenses gradually crumbled.
Several sword beams pierced through his defenses, leaving deep, visible wounds on his body. Black blood gushed out, intertwining with the surrounding black mist to create a bizarre scene.
Li Xi was about to tie him up when she realized that this man was the leader's confidant and would likely know the leader's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, the man fought back fiercely and lunged at Li Xi with all his might.
Just then, a gust of wind came from behind, carrying a sharp killing intent.
She was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but it was too late.
I felt a sharp pain in my back as the sharp claws tore through my clothes, leaving a long trail of blood.
"Ah..." Li Xi cried out in pain, cursing herself inwardly for being too careless.
But she didn't panic; instead, she quickly turned around, her eyes filled with anger.
His internal energy surged, and his eyes turned blood red, as if they were burning with raging fire.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind—to kill him!
Seeing Li Xi like this, Black Wolf couldn't help but tremble.
He had never seen such a terrifying look in his eyes; it was not just anger, but contained boundless power.
Black Wolf knew that if he could not escape today, he would surely die here.
He suddenly pushed off the ground, his figure moving backward like a ghost, trying to increase the distance between himself and Li Xi.
However, Li Xi was faster. With a flash, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, she instantly closed the distance with the black wolf.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. A violent surge of energy surrounded her, a manifestation of her internal energy reaching its peak.
Black Wolf was caught before he could react.
Li Xi grabbed his neck with one hand and slammed him to the ground. She then used her knee to press against his abdomen and slammed her hand hard against his face.
Black Wolf curled up in pain, the excruciating abdominal pain making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Just as he was about to suffocate, someone stopped Li Xi's tyranny.
Black Wolf thought he was saved and was struggling to get up when he was locked up with chains made of black iron.
It turned out that Qin Xiaolin had knocked Li Xi unconscious with a single palm strike and caught her before she fell to the ground.
Prince An looked at the mangled body on the ground and felt a wave of fear.
Fortunately, he didn't offend Li Xi, otherwise even if his father came, he wouldn't be able to save him.
"Your Highness, I'll leave this to you to clean up." Qin Xiaolin picked up Li Xi and hurriedly left.
"Alright, take her to find a military doctor quickly." Prince An looked at the chaotic street and was at his wit's end.
If Lan'er knew, she would rush over in a panic.
All the Red Shirt soldiers in the city were captured.
Meanwhile, the Red Shirt Army outside the city was now surrounded by the reinforcements led by General Xu, and not even a mosquito could escape.
Every household in the city kept their doors tightly shut, and there was not a soul in sight on the streets.
Li Xi and his team spent the other two days evacuating and resettling the people, setting up this inescapable trap to wait for Black Wolf to find his own death.
The prefect's expression changed drastically when he saw Li Xi covered in blood. He immediately ordered his servants to prepare the best nourishing medicinal herbs.
The military doctor from the city rushed over, and the two of them settled her in the nearest government office.
Only after Qin Xiaolin whispered a reminder did the military doctor realize that Li Xi was actually a woman.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things; the most important thing right now is to treat her injuries.
He carefully cut open the edge of Li Xi's torn clothes and then gently lifted them up.
Five deep claw marks were visible on her back, from which blood was seeping out.
The injury wasn't serious, but the blood flowing from the wound was black.
The military doctor frowned, quickly examining Li Xi's wounds, and was secretly alarmed. This poison was no ordinary poison; it not only corroded the skin but also seemed poised to invade the bloodstream.
If Li Xi hadn't possessed profound internal strength and an extraordinary physique, he probably would have died from the poison long ago.
He continued to take the pulse, and strangely enough, the poison stopped unexpectedly after invading the blood, as if it had encountered some natural barrier and could not spread further.
The military doctor's brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"That's really strange!" he muttered to himself.
Examining Li Xi's wounds again, though still gruesome, they were gradually stabilizing. "There seems to be a power within her body, resisting this deadly poison on its own. Could this... could this be the legendary 'immunity to all poisons'?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaolin managed a forced, bitter smile.
Although he knew that Li Xi's physique was different from ordinary people, he never expected it to reach this level.
He replied, "Medic, now is not the time to investigate these things. It is more important to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible."
The military doctor nodded and quickly took out a needle kit from the medicine box.
The silver needles moved precisely across Li Xi's acupoints.
He quickly drew the poison to her finger, took out a knife, heated it briefly, and then swiftly and deftly made a thin cut on Li Xi's finger. Black blood slowly flowed out, carrying a chilling, fishy stench.
As the black blood gradually turned bright red, the medic's expression softened slightly.
He quickly took out a light green ointment from the medicine box and applied it to the wound.
"Alright, the toxins have been removed."
As the military doctor spoke, he put away the silver needles and tools. "Just in case, take the detoxifying decoction daily and rest quietly for several days to allow your body to recover naturally. Remember, do not use your internal energy during this period to avoid the toxins spreading."
"Thank you." Qin Xiaolin saw the military doctor to the door.
The military doctor handed the ointment to Qin Xiaolin and instructed him to apply it three times a day.
Li Xi, who was lying on the bed, had already woken up. She moved slightly, which aggravated the wound on her back, causing her to wince in pain.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaolin quickly put down the ointment in his hand and rushed to the bedside. He held Li Xi's shoulder, his voice full of concern: "Don't move around, your wound hasn't fully healed yet."
She forced a smile, trying to smooth out her slightly distorted expression due to pain: "It's nothing, I just moved it a little, it hurts a bit. Brother Qin, don't worry."
Qin Xiaolin was a little angry: "You always don't take care of yourself. The army doctor said that although your wound is not deep, you need to rest well to recover."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Li Xi nodded slightly, then gently lay down on the ground.
She tried hard to recall what had happened before she lost consciousness, and anxiously asked him, "Where's Black Wolf?"
She had finally managed to catch him, and she couldn't let him escape, otherwise it would ruin her plans.
"Don't worry, Prince An has already chained him with black iron chains, he can't escape," he said softly to comfort him.
Upon hearing this news, Li Xi nodded with a sense of relief.
But then she suddenly realized something and asked in confusion, "How...how could I have fainted?"
Qin Xiaolin scratched his head awkwardly and slowly said, "I knocked you unconscious. You were in a state of qi deviation at the time, desperately attacking that black wolf. I was afraid you would go into qi deviation again like before, so..."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Li Xi's reaction, afraid that she would be angry or blame him.
