Xu Yuehuai glared at him coldly and said sarcastically, "You're really fast; you've changed bodies again in just a few days."
The man in black robes was enraged. His voice was as cold as ice, and with a slight raise of his hand, it seemed as if the very rules of the world trembled: "Capture her alive!"
This brief command, like the whisper of death, instantly ignited panic and chaos among the surrounding crowd.
Xu Yuehuai originally possessed extraordinary skills, but at this moment he was bound by the black-robed man's laws, and could only exert less than three-tenths of his ability!
With such limited abilities, he was no match for so many people in front of him and could only suffer repeated injuries.
She tried to struggle and regain her abilities, but the black-robed man's special abilities acted like invisible shackles, firmly imprisoning her power.
Every act of resistance only brings deeper pain!
She gritted her teeth and growled defiantly, "Trying to catch me? No way!"
She then fought the enemy once more, sustaining injuries time and again. She was almost covered in blood, her wounds so deep that bone was visible; anyone else would have died from such severe injuries.
Is it impossible to go to the north side of the village to fulfill the agreement?
Am I going to collapse here?
She went through so much trouble to get her hands on the "Secret Manual of Medicine," is it really useless?
Xu Yuehuai's eyes were stained red with blood, and her vision was blurred. She was about to have to squeeze out the last bit of strength.
Yan Qing, the Ghost Doctor, Lu Li, Xiao Rui, and others charged into the battlefield like shooting stars in the dark night, carrying an unstoppable momentum.
"Your Highness! We're too late!" Yan Qing's voice was filled with self-reproach and determination as his sword continued to pierce the enemy's chest.
The Ghost Doctor looked helpless and distressed as he quickly stepped forward, saying, "You're injured again. I'll have to keep busy for a while." As he spoke, he took out various medicine bottles from his pocket, preparing to treat Xu Yuehuai's injuries.
Lu Li, exuding heroic spirit, held a long sword and pointed directly at the group of people in black robes: "Master! I'm here!" Every move he made revealed his loyalty and protectiveness towards Xu Yuehuai.
Xiao Rui, however, kept a cold gaze as he observed the battle, ready to provide the most precise support at any time: "My lord, please rest assured, we will not allow anyone to harm you."
When Xu Yuehuai saw them arrive, her body, which had been struggling, seemed to regain some strength. "Then I'll leave it to you."
However, seeing that things were not going well, the men in black robes intensified their attack, and the misled villagers lost their way in the chaos, becoming mindless attackers.
Seeing this, the Ghost Doctor and his group quickly adjusted their strategy, resisting the attacks of the black-robed men while trying to guide the innocent villagers to safety.
In the midst of this chaotic battle, the leader of the black-robed men appeared remarkably calm, a playful smile playing on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
As Xu Yuehuai was slowly approached, supported by the Ghost Doctor, their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying.
"Could this body be your real body?" Xu Yuehuai asked tentatively.
The leader of the black-robed men said mysteriously, "Guess!"
Before he finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from his body—a sign that he was about to self-destruct!
"Retreat quickly!" Ghost Doctor shouted, pulling Xu Yuehuai backward as fast as possible, but even so, the aftershocks of the explosion inevitably affected them.
The Ghost Doctor managed to protect Xu Yuehuai's heart meridian with his profound medical skills, but he himself was also seriously injured.
After the explosion, when the dust settled, the black-robed leader had vanished, leaving only a mess and a deathly silence.
While the villagers were still in shock, Xu Yuehuai, protected by the Ghost Doctor and others, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the scene before her.
“We won, but we need to handle the post-war work properly,” Xu Yuehuai said.
Amidst the chaotic ruins, Lu Li and Xiao Rui swiftly and methodically organized the cleanup efforts.
Like a commander on the battlefield, Lu Li led the remaining guards in meticulously clearing the area, ensuring that every potential threat was completely eliminated. He personally stepped forward to comfort the villagers who were trembling with fear; his words, like the warm winter sun, pierced through the gloom in their hearts.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. We have driven back those villains. This place is a safe haven. Please follow our instructions to the temporary shelter, where food and protection await you."
Xiao Rui moved through the ruins, leaving no corner unchecked that might conceal danger. He knew that after this sudden disaster, stabilizing public morale and restoring order were the most urgent tasks. He would sometimes stop to talk with the villagers and gather valuable intelligence; at other times, he would work closely with Lu Li, exchanging opinions and constantly adjusting strategies to ensure everything went smoothly.
At the same time, with the help of the Ghost Doctor, Xu Yuehuai slowly walked towards a relatively safe place nearby.
"Are you alright? Can you hold on?" she asked softly.
The Ghost Doctor gave a wry smile. "I'm fine, but your injuries are more serious. However, rest assured, my reputation as the Ghost Doctor is well-deserved."
After saying that, he took out a series of rare medicinal herbs from his pocket and began to treat Xu Yuehuai's wounds.
The Ghost Doctor's treatments were skillful and meticulous, with every movement precise and flawless.
Xu Yuehuai sat quietly, letting the ghost doctor do as he pleased.
"Yan Qing, quickly go to the north side of the village to meet Aze, Bei Ye, and Bai Yu," Xu Yuehuai suddenly said, looking at Yan Qing standing to the side.
"Yes, Your Highness." Yan Qing responded and moved immediately. With a flash, she disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost in the night.
The Ghost Doctor naturally understood Xu Yuehuai's intentions, but he was also worried about her health.
"Your injuries are serious, so don't worry about them."
“I’m fine,” Xu Yuehuai interrupted the Ghost Doctor. “I can’t stay here any longer; they need me. Ghost Doctor, you must recover your strength as soon as possible; we still have a lot to do.”
The Ghost Doctor didn't say anything more. He focused more on treating Xu Yuehuai's wounds, hoping she could recover her strength as soon as possible.
Time flew by, and beads of sweat appeared on the Ghost Doctor's forehead, his face turning pale. Yet, he persevered silently without uttering a single complaint.
Finally, thanks to the Ghost Doctor's tireless efforts, Xu Yuehuai's injuries were effectively brought under control. Although she still needed to recover slowly, she was able to move around a little.
"Thank you, Ghost Doctor." Xu Yuehuai looked at Ghost Doctor gratefully. She knew that without Ghost Doctor's timely treatment and meticulous care, she might have already collapsed in these ruins.
"You're welcome." The Ghost Doctor looked tired, but his smile was still as warm as a spring breeze. "How are you feeling now? Can you walk?"
"I'm fine." Xu Yuehuai slowly stood up. She couldn't wait to see Qi Guze, Bei Ye, and Bai Yu.
However, just as she was about to leave, the Ghost Doctor suddenly collapsed to the ground!
