Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 328 - : Undying Worm’s Poison

Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Undying Worm’s Poison

“Leave? Where would we go?”

Qi Yue curled her lips, a mysterious smile spreading at the edges.

The fierce winds of winter howled past the corners of the buildings, lifting her skirt in billowing waves, as if she wished to fly away with the wind.

Hei Lie was stunned by this uniquely beautiful scene and took quite a while to regain his composure.

“My lord, we have too few people, we can’t beat them, we should leave now.”

“How many brothers do we still have?”

...

Her voice was stern, as if she were facing the Marquis himself.

Hei Lie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart almost stopping.

“Not counting those on missions, just ten, twelve…”

Seeing Qi Yue still with a calm expression, as if she didn’t think facing Hu Keqing’s tens of thousands with just twelve men was a joke.

“Master, we should hurry and leave. If something happens to you, the Marquis won’t know what to do!”

Qi Yue smiled.

“Zhao Xiyan? What would he do?”

Hei Lie didn’t know what to say.

—The more composed Qi Yue was, the more nervous he became.

He always felt that at this moment, the mistress was even harder to serve than the Marquis.

“The Marquis’s feelings for the mistress are clear to us all. If you were to suffer here, the Marquis might take his anger out on the people of Longnan… The last time you were trapped in Yanjing, when we took Yulin Pass, the Marquis nearly committed a massacre. If it hadn’t been for the few Generals of various sizes who stopped him, he might have been infamous throughout the world by now…”

Qi Yue felt overwhelmed and quickly gestured for Hei Lie to stop.

“Stop there, surely it can’t be that exaggerated?”

Hei Lie nodded hurriedly.

“It is, it can be that exaggerated. Last time at…”

Seeing Hei Lie about to give examples to prove his point, Qi Yue quickly interrupted him.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this.”

She just wanted to discuss something relaxing to ease her mood before the big battle, but why did it have to bring up these issues?

Why did these people all seem to know about Zhao Xiyan’s deep feelings for her?

A massacre?

Would Zhao Xiyan really do such a thing?

She absolutely didn’t believe it!

“Mistress, then I will take you away from here now!”

Hei Lie said and took a step forward, likely about to pull her onto the roof to escape.

Qi Yue quickly stepped back.

“Stop, stop, stop, I didn’t say I wanted to leave!”

Hei Lie paused for a moment.

“Then what does the mistress intend…”

On the street, it seemed countless soldiers were flooding toward Rishengchang, surrounding the entire street again and again.

The whole East Street became noisy, with the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, the cries and screams of children all blending together.

Soldiers continuously leaped onto rooftops and walls, seizing high positions, pointing their bows and arrows at the building of Rishengchang.

The bright arrowheads gleamed coldly in the firelight.

“Prepare to face the enemy!”

In the cold wind, Qi Yue barely curled her lips.

“…Face the enemy?” Hei Lie’s eyes widened, “Master, there are only twelve of us, and Hu Keqing has tens of thousands. Once his new troops from outside the city arrive, we’ll be even more trapped.”

Qi Yue snorted with a laugh.

“If Hu Keqing can use our people to find my hiding place, why can’t I cut him down in front of everyone?—Right, let the people of Longnan see what kind of guardian god they have!”

“But, mistress, your safety…” Hei Lie was still worried.

“What, don’t you believe in my abilities?” Qi Yue curled her lips, signaling Hei Lie to follow her inside.

Seeing the neatly arranged laser guns on the table, Hei Lie’s eyes instantly lit up.

He had heard of such a thing before and had even seen Qu Wei fiddling with it; he had wanted a closer look for a long time but never had the opportunity.

He heard that it was easy to use, not requiring precision; just a sweep over someone would fatally wound them.

It was practically an existence like a mighty weapon.

“You’ve seen this before, right!”

Hearing Qi Yue’s question, Hei Lie nodded eagerly, his voice trembling slightly.

“I’ve, I’ve seen it before, I just don’t know how to use it.”

“It’s simple, just like shooting an arrow. Just turn on this safety switch and make sure not to hurt yourself,” Qi Yue said.

Qi Yue picked one up and demonstrated for Hei Lie.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, a scream echoed from the roof across the street, and the soldier who had just drawn his bow fell down, crashing onto the street.

Hei Lie’s palms began to sweat with excitement.

This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the laser gun firsthand. It was terrifying.

With this thing, were they still afraid of these ten thousand people?

Why not just take out Hu Keqing directly?

As he thought this, he heard Qi Yue say leisurely, “Leave Hu Keqing to me. Handle the others as you see fit. Most of these are new recruits and locals from Longnan, they have families, so do not kill them if they surrender. Understood?”

“Understood!” Hei Lie responded loudly but quickly raised an objection.

“Master, we must not underestimate Hu Keqing, his personality was weak before, but in recent years he has become brutally ruthless, a man seasoned on the battlefield with some capabilities.”

“I will handle it,” Qi Yue reassured, patting the twin swords at her waist.

“Yes, Master!” Hei Lie complied and left.

Downstairs, Hu Keqing’s forces had completely surrounded the area.

Especially in front of the Rishengchang, the street was packed with rows and rows of soldiers.

Countless soldiers and torches illuminated their stern faces.

Qi Yue curled her lips.

With such a formation, not just a few Small Fragrant Melons but even a handful of poison thrown down would instantly kill a crowd.

However, this was the center of Longnan County Government, and large-scale killing would badly impact her image of past efforts to save and aid the wounded; she refrained simply because of that.

How clever of Hu Keqing.

He really did understand her!

Still, Hu Keqing probably didn’t know that at her core, she was self-serving. If her life was truly threatened, she wouldn’t care about her reputation.

Suddenly, the formation below split apart, and Hu Keqing walked out from the middle.

He rode a tall horse, wielding a spear in his hand, armored, his eyes filled with ferocity.

“Bring out Qi Yue!”

Hei Lie and the others, armed with laser guns, were already itching to try them out, not tolerating his arrogance.

“Fire!”

At the command, the front-row soldiers collapsed suddenly, without warning.

Then, the second row thudded to the ground as well.

These men didn’t struggle at all; they just stopped breathing.

It was as if a giant scythe was rolling over them, silently and mercilessly reaping lives.

The soldiers screamed in horror and took a few steps back.

The horse underneath Hu Keqing reared up, neighing long and loud before crashing onto the ground.

After all, he was a veteran; Hu Keqing rolled on the ground and stood up unharmed.

He shook his spear, his eyes sharp as knives, glaring at Hei Lie.

“Bring out Qi Yue.”

“My master is not someone you can see just because you ask to!”

Hei Lie raised his laser gun, and had Qi Yue not instructed to spare this man, he would have charged already.

“Bring out Qi Yue,” Hu Keqing shouted again.

In the dark night, his voice sounded like the howl of a ghost.

Hiding in the shadows, Qi Yue watched the blue veins bulging on Hu Keqing’s neck, a sense of unease slowly rising within her.

This man really had been infected with the Undying Worm’s poison.

Oddly, it seemed even more severe than Hu Chengxuan.

Logically, the poison passed on by Hu Chengxuan should be milder than before; it shouldn’t be like this.

Could it be that Qing Nanzun had done something to him?

“Bring out Qi Yue!”

Another roar echoed.
