Chapter 430 Li Lingzhou Injured
The long-handled axe, which could originally be lifted with one hand, now requires two hands to barely lift, apparently due to the side effects of the secret technique fading.
Tuoba Yun looked at Wangsun and Yujingzi with resentment. If it weren't for his teammates helping him, Tuoba Yun felt that he would probably be finished tonight.
Their teammates weren't faring much better. Facing two ninth-tier zombie kings, their stamina was rapidly depleting. In order to avoid injury, they could only make more movements to protect themselves, which in turn consumed their stamina.
Yu Jingzi and Wangsun pressed their advantage, attacking Tuoba Yun with both hands, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. The bone spurs on Yu Jingzi's back were like agile snakes, incredibly fast, giving Tuoba Yun a real headache. Wangsun's back had only a single, dry bone spur, resembling a monkey's tail.
Don't underestimate Wangsun's bone spur. Although there is only one, it is exceptionally powerful. Being hit by it is not pleasant. The bruises on Tuoba Yun's upper body were caused by Wangsun's bone spur.
Instead of stabbing Tuoba Yun, Wangsun enjoyed whipping him like prey.
Yu Jingzi manipulated bone spikes to interfere with Tuoba Yun's eighth-tier teammates, while Wang Sun used his extraordinary speed to torment Tuoba Yun, a stark contrast to the scene where he was being chased and beaten by Tuoba Yun just now.
Before long, Tuoba Yun was covered in wounds, and blood gushed out from the bruises, dripping onto the grass.
Seeing Tuoba Yun's disheveled appearance, Wangsun felt extremely relieved and burst into laughter, but he soon stopped laughing.
The third and ninth squads began to join the reinforcements, with the second squad in the southwest being their first reinforcement.
Wangsun fled in panic with Yujingzi. The couple had also been greatly weakened by Tuoba Yun. If they were to face two ninth-rank opponents and eighteen eighth-rank opponents at the same time, it would be a miracle if they survived.
It would be wise to run away and reunite with your companions.
South.
Li Lingzhou and the Left Protector were locked in a fierce battle. Ah Bei was killed in action, and Chen Haonan escaped. This angered the Left Protector, who vowed to torture Chen Haonan severely if he ever had the chance to capture him.
Indeed, intelligent dogs are dangerous, a fact that the Left Protector firmly believed.
Without the two eighth-tier followers to restrain them, it was the turn of the twelve eighth-tiers to cooperate with the two ninth-tier captains to restrain them.
Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen felt much more relaxed. After all, the left and right protectors were the strongest fighting force under Nangong. They were very troublesome and could always attack unexpectedly, thus wearing down Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen's physical strength.
From the very beginning of the battle, Tu Wuqi, the sister of Li Lingzhou from the 22nd squad, disappeared.
According to the battle plan, she quietly came to the south and hid in a bush to watch her sister fight with the Left Protector.
Tu Wuqi gripped two short knives tightly in her hands, her eyes cold as she stared intently at Li Lingzhou, who was still brandishing his sword.
Li Lingzhou dodged the Left Protector's thick bone spike attack, and the eighth-level members of the sixth squad took over, allowing their captain to catch his breath.
Taking this opportunity, Li Lingzhou adjusted his breathing, thus relaxing his vigilance and ignoring Tu Wuqi who suddenly appeared behind him.
Tu Wuqi plunged his short sword into Li Lingzhou's back with his right hand. Because Tu Wuqi was too excited, the stab missed its mark. Although it did not pierce the heart, it still caused great damage to Li Lingzhou.
Li Lingzhou turned around in disbelief, only to see his younger sister.
The pain in her back made her break out in a cold sweat instantly. Her lips trembled, and she looked at Tu Wuqi with a complicated expression.
"Xiao Qi, why?"
People always ask why, and just like Tu Wuqi's answer.
"Why so many whys? I just hate you." Tu Wuqi looked at his sister coldly, as if the knife he had plunged into was not his sister, but a stranger.
The Right Protector fought off Qin Jinwen, then flipped back to his sister's side. The two sisters watched this scene with great interest, bursting into silvery laughter.
Qin Jinwen looked at Li Lingzhou, who was struggling to stay afloat but was bleeding profusely. She shouted Li Lingzhou's name and ran towards her quickly.
Tu Wuqi was sent flying by Qin Jinwen's punch, and she fell to the ground laughing heartily.
"Hahahaha, I did it!!"
"I'm going to kill Li Lingzhou!!! Hahahaha—"
"I'm no worse than her, I'm no worse than her!!"
Despite saying this, Tu Wuqi's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she kept tightly gripping two short knives in her hands.
"I don't like short swords, I like swords too, why can't I use a sword?"
"I'm smart too, but why does Li Lingzhou always outshine me? Why does everyone only revolve around you? Why, why, why!!!"
"Dad never looks at me; his eyes, his heart, and his hands are always on you!"
The two short swords she was most skilled with were like a pair of handcuffs, binding Tu Wuqi and everything about her.
Tu Wuqi laughed wildly, laughing at himself for being ignored all these years, laughing at himself for always being overshadowed by Li Lingzhou.
Li Lingzhou leaned against Qin Jinwen's chest. The battle had lasted too long, and she didn't have much strength left. Now, having been stabbed again, Li Lingzhou felt a little lightheaded.
As she listened to Tu Wuqi's devastating words, she recalled how, when she was a child, she was strictly required to practice swordsmanship, and her younger sister would always secretly watch her from somewhere.
Li Lingzhou was helpless. Born into such a family, she couldn't help herself, let alone her younger sister.
After her younger sister ran away from home, Li Lingzhou often thought that if she weren't so outstanding, she wouldn't be the focus of the elders' attention and thus be neglected by her sister.
Li Lingzhou wasn't angry about Tu Wuqi's sneak attack; she just felt sorry for her younger sister, and at the same time, she felt sorry for herself, who had always been the center of attention.
The sword in her hand was everything to her.
Li Lingzhou was like a puppet on a string; everything was arranged for her. She was only allowed to join the Ghost Hunting Team as a Ghost Hunter after her strong request.
With his consciousness somewhat hazy, Li Lingzhou looked at Tu Wuqi.
"I hope we're not born into that kind of family in our next life."
Li Lingzhou's words stunned Tu Wuqi. Looking at his sister lying in a pool of blood, Tu Wuqi realized that she had also been in pain all along.
Tu Wuqi swallowed hard, unable to believe the thoughts that were surging in his mind.
Do outstanding people also experience suffering?
As Li Lingzhou slowly closed his eyes, Tu Wuqi scrambled to his side and took Li Lingzhou's cold, calloused hand in his.
"No, don't die! I'm sorry, sister, I know I was wrong! Please, don't leave me!" Hot tears dripped from Tu Wuqi's face onto Li Lingzhou's combat uniform.
Qin Jinwen looked at Tu Wuqi with annoyance.
"How could you be so foolish? Luckily, her heart wasn't injured. I used my breath to stop the bleeding. You need to take her to a medic quickly."
Tu Wuqi nodded blankly, then quickly picked up Li Lingzhou and ran down the mountain.
Li Lingzhou was wounded and left, making the situation difficult to collapse for a time.
"One ninth-tier ghost hunter and twelve eighth-tier ghost hunters are fighting against two ninth-tier corpse kings." Qin Jinwen gritted his teeth, stood up, gripped his knife, and looked coldly at the left and right protectors who were watching the show not far away.
