Just then, the man in black robes seized an opening while Dongfang Wan'er dodged and closed in again, his dagger whistling as it aimed for her chest. In that critical moment, Dongfang Wan'er remained calm, seizing the opportunity to swiftly pull a specially made pill from her bosom. This pill was one she had carefully crafted, capable of producing miraculous effects in crucial moments. With a flick of her wrist, she hurled the pill like a meteor towards the man in black robes.
The pill exploded in front of the man in black robes, instantly releasing a pungent cloud of smoke that filled the surroundings. The man in black robes was momentarily blinded by the sudden smoke, his vision obstructed, and he paused. This was the opportunity Dongfang Wan'er had been waiting for. She moved with lightning speed, unleashing a unique acupressure technique from her medical skills. This acupressure technique, created by her years of research into medicine and combining it with the body's meridians and acupoints, could not only heal and save lives but also be used for self-defense and defeating enemies in critical moments. She swiftly pressed her fingers onto several key acupoints on the man in black robes, her movements fluid and seamless.
The man in black robes felt a sudden numbness in his body, all his strength drained away instantly, leaving him unable to move and collapsing straight to the ground. Dongfang Wan'er stepped forward, reached out and lifted the man's mask. Sure enough, it was the wicked Gu Master. Looking at the Gu Master's familiar yet ugly face, a hint of disgust flashed in Dongfang Wan'er's eyes, and she coldly said, "You aided and abetted evil, and today you will not escape punishment."
Dongfang Wan'er held the Gu Master tightly as they walked towards the government office, her eyes constantly scanning their surroundings warily. Moonlight spilled onto the stone path, casting long shadows of her and the Gu Master. Just as they were about to step through the government gates, the Gu Master, who had been keeping his head down, slowly raised it and let out an eerie laugh. The laugh, like the hooting of an owl, pierced the silent night, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"You think it's over once you've captured me?" The Gu Master grinned, revealing a set of yellowed teeth, his eyes gleaming with malice. "There's something even more powerful coming up."
Dongfang Wan'er escorted the Gu Master along the somewhat dilapidated street of the small town. The cold moonlight shone on the uneven cobblestones, casting their shadows, one tall and one short, one upright and one slanted. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with the occasional distant barking of dogs only adding to the oppressive and somber atmosphere.
A strange unease rose in Dongfang Wan'er's heart, as if a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness were watching them. This intuition, ingrained in her years of experience in the martial world, made her unconsciously tighten her grip on the Gu Master's rope and warily scan her surroundings.
Before she could fully react, the Gu Master beside her suddenly tilted his head back and let out a strange, low laugh. The laugh seemed to be squeezed from deep within his throat, carrying a hint of sinister madness. Immediately afterward, the Gu Master abruptly opened his mouth, and a stream of dark green liquid shot straight towards Dongfang Wan'er like a sharp arrow.
Dongfang Wan'er's pupils contracted sharply, her heart tightening. Years of combat experience allowed her to react instantly. Her body moved as lightly as a willow catkin, dodging the fatal blow with swift and fluid movements. The dark green liquid splashed onto the ground with a "bang," instantly emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound. In the blink of an eye, a shocking crater was corroded into the ground, and a pungent odor filled the air.
Before Dongfang Wan'er could even catch her breath, a group of people controlled by Gu worms surged out from the darkness on both sides of the street. They staggered, their clothes tattered, their eyes vacant and lifeless, their faces expressionless, like soulless shells. They lunged at Dongfang Wan'er, baring their fangs and claws, uttering incoherent roars, like a group of manipulated puppets.
Looking at these innocent people, Dongfang Wan'er felt a pang of pity. She knew these people had been harmed by the evil methods of the Gu Master, and they shouldn't have been involved in this conflict; she couldn't afford to harm them.
In the nick of time, Dongfang Wan'er swiftly pulled various pills from her medicine pouch. These pills were the culmination of her years of meticulous research, each containing a different medicinal power. She forcefully scattered them towards the crowd, the pills tracing arcs through the air before falling into the midst of the people.
Some pills, upon contact with air, emitted a delicate yet unique fragrance, which spread rapidly through the crowd like an invisible force. The Gu worms enveloped by the fragrance seemed to be strongly stimulated, writhing restlessly within the people's bodies, some even beginning to crawl out from their skin. Other pills, when inhaled, temporarily restored consciousness to the people. A glimmer of clarity flashed in their eyes, their faces showing pain and confusion, as they briefly regained control of their bodies.
However, the crowd was vast and the scene was chaotic. Dongfang Wan'er dodged and weaved through the crowd, her figure moving swiftly in the moonlight like a nimble shadow. While avoiding the attacks of the people, she searched for the Gu Master's weakness. Sweat rolled down her forehead, soaking her clothes, but her eyes remained firm, fixed on the Gu Master's every move.
Just then, she keenly noticed that the Gu Master had secretly released one of her acupoints amidst the chaos. A sly and triumphant glint flashed in the Gu Master's eyes as he prepared to slip away quietly.
"Where do you think you're going!" Dongfang Wan'er shouted, her clear and resonant voice echoing through the silent street. Her figure flashed towards the Gu Master like lightning, unleashing her acupoint striking technique once more. This technique was the culmination of her years of research combining medicine and martial arts, precise and ruthless. Her fingers flew like lightning, leaving afterimages in the air before accurately striking the Gu Master's vital points. The Gu Master's body instantly froze, his smugness turning to terror, before he collapsed stiffly to the ground, utterly incapacitated.
After subduing the Gu Master, Dongfang Wan'er, without taking a break, threw herself into rescuing the controlled people. She moved through the crowds, using her superb medical skills to treat them. She patiently expelled the remaining Gu worms from each person's body and soothed their fear. Through her efforts, the people gradually returned to normal, their blank stares replaced by gratitude and respect.
Finally, Dongfang Wan'er, dragging the limp Gu Master, strode resolutely through the government gates. Moonlight shone on her back, casting a resolute and towering figure. At this moment, she was not only a healer, but also a warrior guarding justice and peace.
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from all around, like countless tiny claws crawling on the ground. Then, a group of villagers surged out of the darkness, their steps dragging, their movements stiff, as they rushed straight towards Dongfang Wan'er. Dongfang Wan'er looked closely and saw that these villagers had vacant, lifeless eyes and expressionless faces; clearly, their minds had been controlled by the Gu worms.
