The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Chen Subaru's movements were swift and violent. When the two broken bodies of Scout Baihu fell to the ground, many of the guards had not yet realized what had happened. The guards closest to Chen Subaru were about to respond, but he had already swung his sword with ease, slashing out several sword auras that shone with aura. Wherever the sword light passed, it left stumps of limbs and broken arms on the ground.

After Chen Subaru threw out the sword light, he disappeared instantly and headed straight for the underground passage of the stronghold. It was only then that the remaining dozen guards screamed in horror.

Just as Chen Subaru killed the scouts Baihu, the cavalry also received his charge order. Eighty cavalrymen charged from two directions, and the infantry pretended to advance.

The puppets who had been observing behind the middle team also began to quietly follow the infantry. Originally, they planned to take action after the defenders repelled this team that dared to attack at night, and captured the remaining soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. However, contact with the stronghold was suddenly lost, and the fighting sounds in front were all the shouts of the attackers, without the frightened neighing of the horses, which made the puppets notice something strange.

These thirty puppets faced two choices: run away decisively or sit back and wait for death. In fact, if they dropped everything and evacuated decisively at this time, Chen Subaru really didn't have any good countermeasures. Because he was killing everyone in the underground passage at the moment, the cavalry cleared all the facilities and defenders on the ground of the stronghold, and it was difficult to stop these thirty puppets with only infantry.

But Chen Subaru judged that these puppets were unlikely to escape like this. As long as they did not leave now, whether they planned to rescue the stronghold immediately or wait and see what happened, they would lose their best chance of escape.

The puppets no longer followed the infantry, but fell into hesitation. After the infantry got rid of their surveillance, under the cover of Chen Subaru's consciousness, they quietly walked around behind the puppets.

Eighty cavalry quickly launched a charge and quickly wiped out the remaining enemy troops on the ground. When the rumbling hoofbeats of the cavalry approached the puppets, they finally realized that they were in a bad situation and tried to flee in all directions. However, a volley of fire arrows not only blocked their retreat, but also illuminated their hiding position. The puppets who were forced to form a defensive formation found that they were already surrounded by the infantry they had been tracking before.

Chen Subaru killed everyone targeted by his consciousness in the underground passage. When he returned to the surface, the battle was over. The middle stronghold was destroyed, and the soldiers of the military town completed the mission with a very low casualty rate. This made Chen Subaru confident in annihilating the three strongholds.

At the same time, under the guidance of Chen Subaru, Lin Yue and Gui Wu circled south, trying to get rid of the pursuing soldiers while gradually approaching the military town.

Under normal circumstances, if they use their magic weapon to escape, they should be able to return to the protection area of ​​the military town before being caught up.

However, Gui Wu's spirit body was in poor condition. After the scouts discovered that the two people were escaping south, they immediately split up and pursued them. With Gui Wu's state, it was impossible to escape from the pursuers. Lin Yue saw this and had to join him in advance, and at the same time, he lost the opportunity to escape. At the right time, the pursuers were getting closer and closer to the two women, and the situation was very dangerous.

The reason why Gui Wu was seriously injured was because she failed to join Chen Subaru's team before and missed the best opportunity to break out. Although she alone is not worthy of the Xuanwu Army's efforts to encircle and kill her, it is impossible for the Xuanwu Army to let her easily pass through the encirclement.

Faced with traps and Xuanwu Army patrols from all directions, if Gui Wu had not relied on the support of the charm mark and his strong obsession with Lin Yue, he would have given up resistance and been captured. However, she miraculously survived and fought her way out with bruises all over her body. The penetrating wound on her neck almost killed her.

The self-healing ability of monks' spiritual bodies far exceeds that of ordinary people. The Huanchen Sect also has secret techniques that can make bones regenerate flesh and bring the dead back to life. Gui Wu happened to have mastered a similar secret technique, so he hid to heal his injuries after breaking out.

Different from Lin Yue and others, although Gui Wu is also beautiful, he majors in the art of concealment and assassination, and minors in a set of secret techniques to stimulate the potential of his own or other people's spirits. This set of secret techniques can put the monk's spirit body into a state of almost overdraft of life in a short period of time, broaden the limits of the meridians, improve the utilization rate of spiritual energy, enhance the strength and flexibility of the spirit body, and at the same time greatly improve the self-healing ability.

The secret technique of Huanchen Sect was originally developed for puppets. Although it is also beneficial to monks, the side effects are also significant. In addition to consuming life span, there will also be a period of weakness after performing the secret. During this period, the monk's meridians are forced to return to normal, the circulation of spiritual energy is restricted, the spiritual energy in the body is blocked, and the spiritual body becomes fragile and slow, accompanied by unbearable pain. Pain and dizziness. If the wound cannot be healed within the validity period of the secret technique, it will become more difficult to heal.

Although the puppet has a period of weakness, it can continuously activate secret techniques and is not affected by pain. Middle-grade human puppets can enter mental hibernation after completing the task to avoid spiritual pain. However, the monk must bear the pain caused by the weak period alone. Even if the monk helps to clear the meridians, the pain like tearing the flesh cannot be relieved.

When Lin Yue got in touch with Gui Wu, the latter had just gone through a period of weakness that almost made her collapse. Although some minor wounds have healed, if those fatal wounds were to be completely healed through secret techniques, she would probably have her spirit collapse before the wounds healed.

At this time, although Gui Wu's spirit body has passed the period of weakness, she is still in a mentally weak state. Therefore, when flying with a magic weapon, although those serious wounds are no longer fatal, they still need to consume spiritual power to suppress them. Coupled with the previous mental consumption, her consciousness easily collapsed and she was unable to fly at full strength.

Although she was controlled by Lin Yue's charm mark, Gui Wu's Holy Guard's flag was not obtained through her appearance, but her calmness and application of skills in the fight, which ensured that she would become the one who survived in the end.

When she learned through Lin Yue that she had been chased by the saint scouts, she knew that she could no longer use the secret technique at this time. Although it could temporarily strengthen the spirit body, it was not enough to kill the pursuers behind her in one go. Once the period of weakness arrives, she may be dead without the pursuers taking action. After all, as long as Lin Yue can get rid of her pursuers, she can surrender to them.

However, when she found Lin Yue appearing in her field of vision, Gui Wu lost her cool and burst into tears. She eagerly mobilized her remaining spiritual power, maintaining a weak tone and said anxiously to Lin Yue, who was flying towards her: "Yue'er, what are you doing here? I am Xiaoqi of the Holy Guard. At worst, I will reveal my identity and be caught." It will be fine for the time being, but you..."

Seeing Gui Wu almost lose control due to talking, Lin Yue felt an indescribable emotion in her heart. Although her "Perfect Slavery" has a better effect than other charm spells, she cannot abandon her goals at will like other charm spell users, especially those targets whose enslavement progress has been completed. After all, she also invested a lot of emotions in the process of performing the surgery.
