The Ghost Doctor, the renowned physician, is now facing an unprecedented predicament. Despite his unparalleled medical skills, he is powerless against these highly skilled men in black.
"Hmph, Ghost Doctor, do you think your medical skills can save you?" The leader of the men in black sneered, his long sword pointing directly at the Ghost Doctor's throat.
The Ghost Doctor's face was grim; he knew all too well that his situation was extremely precarious.
Just as he was preparing to fight to the death, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the temple.
Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate led a group of soldiers who rushed in like a whirlwind. They wielded longswords and engaged in fierce combat with the men in black.
"Kill!" At the magistrate's command, the soldiers charged forward bravely.
Although their swordsmanship was not as sharp as the men in black, every strike was filled with an indomitable spirit.
Upon seeing this, the Ghost Doctor was overjoyed, knowing that his chance had come.
"If we join forces, we will surely wipe out these villains!" the magistrate shouted to the Ghost Doctor while brandishing his sword. His eyes were incredibly sharp, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
"Alright!" the Ghost Doctor responded and charged into the battle without hesitation.
He moved with agility, sometimes dodging the attacks of the men in black, and sometimes delivering a fatal blow. He and the magistrate worked in perfect harmony, one attacking and the other defending, forcing the men in black into a retreat.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have such abilities!" The leader of the men in black sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He moved swiftly, instantly appearing before the Ghost Doctor. His longsword sliced through the air, emitting a piercing whistle.
"call out!"
The Ghost Doctor was startled, but he remained calm. He shifted his body to the left, successfully dodging the attack from the man in black.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
At the same time, the silver needles in his hand shot out like a storm, aiming straight for the man in black's vital points.
The man in black froze, struck in a vital spot by the silver needle. He let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
"Well done!" The magistrate was overjoyed at the sight and swung his sword at another man in black. Under his leadership, the soldiers' morale soared, and the men in black were gradually driven into a corner.
However, at that moment, a strong black aura suddenly rose from the group of people dressed in black.
The leader of the men in black suddenly sneered. In a flash, he appeared before the magistrate. The long sword in his hand transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight into the magistrate's chest.
"Watch out!" the Ghost Doctor exclaimed. In a flash, he was beside the magistrate. He struck out with his palm, dispersing the black light.
Even so, the magistrate was still seriously injured. He lay in a pool of blood, barely breathing.
"Quick...Quickly save me..." The magistrate felt as if his internal organs were shattered, blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and he was almost dying. He spoke with difficulty while spitting out blood.
The Ghost Doctor immediately took out his silver needles and focused intently on applying them, continuously channeling his inner energy into the magistrate's body. The silver needles moved across the magistrate's body, each time removing a wisp of dark energy from his system.
"You must hold on!" the ghost doctor encouraged the county magistrate.
After much effort, the Ghost Doctor finally stabilized the magistrate's condition. However, he himself was severely injured due to excessive exertion. He collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, panting heavily.
"How are you?" The magistrate felt that he had recovered a lot, as if he had been given a second life.
The Ghost Doctor managed a weak smile, but was too weak to speak. He knew he needed to find a way to restore his internal energy as soon as possible, otherwise he might die from exhaustion.
However, he was now utterly exhausted and could only lie quietly on the ground, resigned to his fate. Gradually, his consciousness began to fade, and he eventually fell into a deep coma…
The temple lights flickered in the breeze, adding an eerie touch to the battlefield shrouded in darkness.
Despair filled the soldiers' eyes. Their leader, the Ghost Doctor, and the magistrate, were seriously injured and fell into a coma during the fierce battle, and the situation instantly became a deadlock.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, and a group of men in black appeared from all directions like ghosts, surrounding them.
At this critical moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the temple; they were Xu Yuehuai and Bei Ye.
Both men wore black masks and black clothes, like messengers emerging from the darkness. A flicker of shock crossed their eyes when they saw the fallen doctor and magistrate.
"These guys are really lawless," Bei Ye said angrily, clenching his fists.
Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but simply nodded silently. She knew that she had to deal with these men in black as soon as possible to buy time for the Ghost Doctor and the magistrate to receive treatment.
The two worked side by side in perfect harmony, launching a fierce attack on the man in black with overwhelming force.
Their moves were sharp and swift, and they quickly forced the men in black to retreat.
However, the men in black were exceptionally cunning; they constantly changed formations, trying to find a breakthrough.
Xu Yuehuai and Bei Ye used the hidden weapon they had been researching during this period. It was something like a sleeve dart, but it could fire dozens of small arrows in an instant, instantly repelling more than a dozen people.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The two continued to use concealed weapons, taking the opportunity to work together to repel the remaining men in black.
"Thank you so much, you two brave men, for saving my life!"
"You saved our magistrate, please come with us back to the county office!"
"The county magistrate will definitely be grateful to you then!"
The soldiers quickly stepped forward to express their gratitude.
Just then, Xu Yuehuai suddenly pulled out a packet of powder from his waist and threw it at the soldiers around him.
The soldiers felt a wave of drowsiness wash over them and fell to the ground, fast asleep.
"Yuehuai, how are the Ghost Doctor and the County Magistrate's injuries?" Bei Ye didn't care about the soldiers' situation; he looked at Xu Yuehuai and asked.
Xu Yuehuai didn't speak, but silently walked to the Ghost Doctor's side. She carefully examined the Ghost Doctor's injuries and found that although they were serious, there was still a possibility of recovery. She immediately took out her own pills from her bosom and carefully fed them to the Ghost Doctor.
Seeing this, Bei Ye also went to the magistrate's side to check his injuries. He found that the magistrate's injuries were even more serious than the Ghost Doctor's, and he couldn't help but frown.
“Bei Ye, I have a way to save them, but I need your help,” Xu Yuehuai said firmly, raising her head.
Upon hearing this, Bei Ye retorted, "Why should I lend you a hand?"
Xu Yuehuai pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how can I get you to agree?"
"Stay by my side for at least a year, and during that time you must not have any thought of leaving. If you still wish to leave after a year, I will not try to stop you, but will instead send you away." Bei Ye appeared calm, but inside he was extremely anxious. He stared at Xu Yuehuai, afraid that she would not agree to his request.
Xu Yuehuai didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"Then what can I do to help you?" Bei Ye asked with a smile.
