Chapter 204 Steal One's Life

After a great battle, Xu Han's entire body was bathed in blood.

Even his Violet Firmament Realm physical body would inevitably be riddled with wounds under such a great battle, while Ye Hongjian, Fang Ziyu, Zhou Zhang, and the others on the side also had expressions of exhaustion on their faces. Just as they felt that they were about to lose their strength, the Xia and Mu Clan armies suddenly retreated like a tidal wave. This kind of change caught everyone off guard.

Of course, it had to be said that such a change had also allowed everyone to recover their lives.

Xu Han looked at the retreating army with a calm brow and swept his gaze over the corpses around him. The city gates of Big Yellow City were paved with corpses, and the corpses of the enemy and our side were scattered all over the place, almost piling up into small hills.

Even when Xu Han saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Unfortunately, Xu Han didn't seem to have much time to sigh about the life and death in front of him, because a burst of eager shouts suddenly came from the city wall.

"General!!!"

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but before he could regain his senses, the Great Yellow City Governor, Lin Yuguo, suddenly turned around and ran madly towards the city wall. Only then did Xu Han realize that something had happened to that old general!

He exchanged glances with the people around him, then hurriedly followed Lin Yu Guo's footsteps and ran towards the city wall.

…

Lin Shou was seriously injured.

A long arrow shot into his chest and a sharp arrow pierced through his back.

His entire chest was pierced by the arrow.

However, there wasn't much blood flowing out of his wound. He seemed to have aged to the point where there wasn't much blood left in his body. The so-called exhaustion of oil was probably the case.

Xu Han looked at the pale-faced old man with a deep brow and thought to himself.

"Grandfather! Grandfather! What's wrong with you?" Lin Yu Guo knelt in front of Lin Shou. He was at a loss. He wanted to reach out, but he was afraid that he would touch the wound on the old man's body. Therefore, he stopped in mid-air and didn't know if he should put down his hand.

The pale-faced Lin Shou turned his head to look at Lin Yu Guo, and then squeezed out an ugly smile on his face.

He said with some difficulty, "Don't worry…"

"Grandfather…"

"I can't die …"

In just seven simple words, he had used more than ten breaths of time to finish his sentence intermittently. Everyone had their own measurements of the credibility of these words in their hearts.

"Yes." However, Lin Yuguo was obviously the only person on the stage who would not doubt the truth of this sentence. He nodded heavily, but tears rolled in the eyes of this thirty-year-old satrap.

He had to use all the strength in his body to make sure that his tears did not drip from his eyes.

Lin Shou didn't like him crying.

Last time, when his father died in battle, he cried heavily at the age of four or five, but was reprimanded by the old general for a long time.

The old general said, "The men of the Lin Family can bleed, but they can't shed tears."

The old general also said, "Death in battle is the best home for the Lin family men."

Therefore, the old general did not cry.

He was only seven days later.

In his son's first seven.

Standing at the head of Big Yellow City, he led a hundred thousand archers.

An arrow pierced through the armor of the Earthly Immortal Emperor.

After that day, Li Wen Jing's grand ambition was to have a dream of being domineering.

As for the old man who was at the peak of the Great Evolution Realm and could break through to the Immortal Realm at any time, his cultivation had fallen into the mortal realm overnight, causing him to die without the chance to ask about the Great Dao Cauldron.

"Help me up." The old general's voice sounded again. The aura in his voice seemed to be slightly better than before.

Hearing this, Lin Yu Guo hesitated slightly, but in the end, he still extended his hand to carefully support Lin Shou's body. At that time, everyone around looked at him.

Lin Shou's gaze swept across the crowd, then looked at the army gradually leaving the city, his brows furrowed.

"The city gate has been broken. Big Yellow City is in danger. If you want to resist Mu Ji's next attack, you have to repair the city gate first."

Lin Shou said.

However, when the surrounding people heard this, they all fell silent.

What kind of person was Mu Ji? He was undoubtedly confident that he would be able to take down Big Yellow City.

The city gate of Big Yellow City was incomparably wide. It would take a lot of effort to repair it. In this process, Mu Ji had already noticed it. How could he watch as they sealed the city gate?

Xu Han roughly calculated. Of the 150 thousand troops in Big Yellow City, there were only 50 thousand archers and 10 thousand soldiers left. Most of them were wounded, large or small, and less than 30 thousand were capable of fighting. How could they defend Big Yellow City with such a large number of people, even if they were truly sealed city gates?

Everyone's silence naturally made Lin Shou realize this. At that time, the old general's face turned a little pale.

His body swayed and leisurely. Lin Yu Guo, who was supporting him, carelessly, and the old general fell to the ground again.

"General!" Everyone let out such a cry of alarm and was about to step forward to help him up.

But this time, Lin Shou waved his hand and was about to say something.

"General, I think that no matter what we do next, we must first treat the general's injuries before we can plan the next step."

At this moment, Xu Han, who had been watching from the side for a long time, finally spoke.

Everyone came to their senses when they heard this. If the sharp arrow was still stabbed into Lin Shou's chest, there would be trouble in the future.

"No need… I'm fine, Manor Head, there's no need to worry." However, Lin Shou shook his head and rejected Xu Han's words.

"Grandpa, how can this be fine? That arrow …" Lin Yu Guo immediately said anxiously when he heard this.

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Shou, who rarely got angry with him, opened his eyes wide and stared at him fiercely, "If I say no, then I don't need to. What? You don't even listen to me anymore?"

Lin Shou shouted loudly, clearly furious.

Everyone present was also stunned at that time. They really couldn't understand why this was clearly for his own good to persuade the old general to be furious.

But just as everyone was puzzled.

Perhaps this furious roar affected his chest injuries. Lin Shou's face turned pale and he covered his chest as he panted loudly.

"Grandfather?!" Seeing this, Lin Yu Guo's heart was filled with anxiety, and he hurriedly stepped forward to do something.

However, Xu Han stepped out before him and stopped him from reaching for Lin Shou's hand.

"Governor Lin, I think General Lin's condition is very bad. I need to treat him quickly." Xu Han looked at the confused Lin Yuguo and said seriously.

Hearing this, Lin Shou wanted to say something, but because of the injury on his chest, he couldn't make a sound. Obviously, he was extremely weak.

'"But" Lin Yuguo hesitated. He looked at Xu Han and then at his grandfather. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Satrap Lin, you should know which is more important when it comes to matters of urgency. Please believe my judgment. I am the Headmaster's disciple!" Xu Han looked at Lin Yuguo with a solemn expression.

From the first time he came into contact with Lin Shou, he could feel the strange state of the old general's body. Moreover, even at this point, Lin Shou was still unwilling to receive his treatment. This made Xu Han even more confused. He naturally didn't have the heart to pry into Lin Shou's secrets, but he really felt that if he continued to drag it out, it wouldn't be of any benefit to Lin Shou, who was already like this.

Lin Yu Guo was stunned at that time. After a period of uncertainty, his expression finally flashed with a hint of peculiarity.

For the first time in his life, he chose to go against his grandfather's will.

He nodded at Xu Han and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Manor Master."

"I will do my best." Xu Han also said this at that time, and then he looked at the old general who had almost fainted and cupped his hands. "General Lin, I have offended you."

After he finished speaking, he no longer had any worries and stretched out his hand to press down on Lin Shou's armor.

There is a saying that a long illness makes a good doctor.

Xu Han had followed the Headmaster for more than half a year, and the Headmaster had intentionally taught him many medical skills. Although Xu Han didn't dare to say how proficient he was in pharmacology, he knew that he was no weaker than an ordinary physician. Moreover, Lin Shou was in a critical situation, so he naturally wouldn't give in.

In order to heal Lin Shou's arrow wounds, the first step was to remove his armor and clothes.

After all, the sharp arrow pierced through Lin Shou's chest, and it was very likely that it touched his heart. If he pulled out the arrow carelessly, it could aggravate Lin Shou's injuries and even kill him on the spot.

Therefore, just in case, Xu Han had no choice but to cut through his armor and clothes with a sharp blade and carefully remove it, lest he touched the arrow.

This seemingly simple task took Xu Han nearly fifteen minutes to complete.

Everyone around held their breath and focused, as if they were afraid that if their breathing became a little louder, it would affect Xu Han.

However, when Xu Han was sweating profusely and saw Lin Shou's naked upper body, the crowd was unable to restrain the calm sea in their hearts, and at that time, they had to suck in a breath of cold air.

What kind of body was that?

Lin Shou's upper body was naked.

Shriveled, thin, like a long withered vine.

The cortex turned purple, and there were still a few areas that seemed to have completely necrosed, revealing a gray yellow color that was almost rotten.

Everyone below the cortex could clearly see the shape of his ribs and chest. It was as if there was no flesh or blood in his body other than his skin and bones.

The body was not so much a human body as an air-dried corpse.

At this moment, Xu Han finally understood why Lin Shou, who had been pierced through by the arrow, almost didn't bleed at all.

How could blood flow out of such a body?

It's just…

What Xu Han couldn't understand was why Lin Shou was still alive.

He should be dead…

He had no reason to be alive…

"Grandpa… This is…"

Lin Yu Guo was also stunned by the scene in front of him. He stared blankly at the corpse-like body, his eyes filled with disbelief and deep terror.

Just as everyone was shocked, Mr. Lu, whose face had turned pale due to the excessive use of Nature Energy, suddenly stepped forward.

He looked at Lin Shou in front of him, his eyes gloomy and solemn.

"I didn't expect …"

"General Lin actually used this life stealing method…"
