Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 329 - : Situation Out of Control
Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Situation Out of Control
“Young Master Hu, why are you calling for me so loudly?”
Qi Yue slowly strolled out of the darkness, standing under the glaring firelight.
Up close, Hu Keqing’s pale face became even clearer, his cold eyes bearing a striking similarity to those of Qing Nanzun.
The laser gun couldn’t harm him anymore! Qi Yue sighed in her heart.
She needed to use the same method that she had used to kill Qing Nanzun, to freeze him; she quickly strategized in her mind.
When she had collected her things earlier, she had already prepared a large water bucket, big enough to fit a person, in the backyard, filled with water.
...
As long as she could lure him to the backyard, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
“Yueyue, is that really you?”
The moment he saw her, Hu Keqing seemed to get excited and forget himself, stepping forward as if to rush over.
“Fire!”
In a state of panic, Hei Lie fired the laser first, followed immediately by the other twelve men.
Just as Qi Yue had anticipated, Hu Keqing’s pace only slowed briefly before he continued moving forward.
Hei Lie and the others were horrified and drew their blades, ready to charge.
“Stand back!”
Qi Yue immediately halted them and tossed a bottle of Detoxification Pills to Hei Lie.
“Take them quickly!”
Hei Lie and the others, not understanding, could only obey and follow her command.
After seeing that they had all swallowed the Detoxification Pills, Qi Yue finally felt a bit relieved.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want Hei Lie to confront Hu Keqing, but it was simply futile.
Hu Keqing had already acquired an Undying Body similar to that of Qing Nanzun; Hei Lie and his men couldn’t kill him, and if they injured him instead, releasing the Poisoned Blood would cause everyone on the entire street to faint.
If only a small amount was inhaled, she could still use the Ghost Gate Needle to save them, but if a large amount was inhaled, they would truly die.
Luckily, Hu Keqing walked a few more steps forward and then stopped, his expression changing again.
He looked at Qi Yue with a complex expression, his face changing colors.
Finally, he shouted fervently.
“Yueyue, have you come to deal with me?”
Qi Yue furrowed her brows.
She suddenly noticed something that she hadn’t considered before.
Both Qing Nanzun and this Hu Keqing seemed to suffer different degrees of mental disorientation after being poisoned by the Undying Worm’s Poison, exhibiting signs of madness.
As for Hu Chengxuan, he had been restrained too quickly before for there to be any obvious signs.
But now that she thought about it, the eyes of this father and son pair were exactly the same as Qing Nanzun’s; they were sinister, venomous, and fanatical.
“Young Master Hu, given the relationship between you and me, that address seems rather rude. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if you called me ‘Miss Qi’?”
She deliberately spoke in an emotionless tone, trying to coax Hu Keqing into calming down.
This guy most likely already knew how she had killed Qing Nanzun and was on high alert.
In such an agitated state, she had no way of luring him into the backyard.
Sure enough, seeing her speak calmly, Hu Keqing’s expression paused for a moment before he began to laugh.
“Of course, I can call you that, but I still prefer calling you Yueyue. Yueyue, you haven’t answered my question. Are you plotting against me by having people watch me day and night? You killed my father, didn’t you? I know no one else could have killed him but you—”
As he spoke, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.
“Yueyue, I guess you’ve already set traps in this courtyard to kill me, haven’t you!”

Now that he had brought up the topic, Qi Yue had nothing to hide.
“You should know that your father was infected with the Undying Worm’s Poison; he was no longer human and deserved to die!”
Qi Yue drew the twin blades from her waist, pointing them at Hu Keqing.
“And you! You deserve to die as well!”
“Hahaha….”
Hu Keqing laughed again, “Yueyue, do you really have the heart to kill me? Aren’t you afraid that everyone on this street will die! Hahaha….”
Suddenly, Qi Yue understood.
It turned out that Hu Keqing had called so many soldiers over with this very idea in mind.
Now in the dead of night, the people had shut their doors, and on a night filled with murder, they were even less likely to come out. Moreover, the residents were spread out and few in number, so even if the Poisoned Blood spread, it wouldn’t kill too many.
But it was different with these soldiers present.
Tens of thousands of them crowded on a single street, and once the Poisoned Blood dispersed, they would all die in an instant.
Should they die, it would cause Qi Yue immense trouble.
Tens of thousands of people!
The people would think she brought this disaster upon them.
If it had been in the past, she wouldn’t have had any scruples, but now she wanted to take control of the entire Longnan County Government.
Without the support of the people, the popular sentiment, she couldn’t make Longnan County Government her base of operations.
“Shameless Hu Keqing!”
Unaware of the full situation, Hei Lie shouted loudly and charged at Hu Keqing with his sword.
Qi Yue was too late to intervene, and the two had started fighting!
“Hei Lie, stand down!”
“Clang…” Hei Lie parried Hu Keqing’s spear with his sword and shouted back, “I, Hei Lie, will not allow such a person to slander my master!”
With that, he vigorously swung his great sword and tangled fiercely with Hu Keqing!
Qi Yue’s lips twitched.
Slander what slander…
This guy’s action had completely disrupted her plan—she’d been confident that she could have pacified Hu Keqing.
But now, it seemed impossible to control the situation!
She had intended to lure Hu Keqing into the backyard and freeze him, but now with thousands of people rushing in, the buckets of water prepared were likely ruined.
Even if she could subdue Hu Keqing, she’d need to find a place with water!
Qi Yue watched the fighting duo intently, her mind whirring with thoughts.
Hu Keqing had experience in battlefields and was truly capable.
Moreover, the strengthening effect of the Undying Worm’s Poison made him even more formidable.
Facing Hei Lie’s strong attacks, he remained unflustered, and there was no sign of him getting injured and bleeding.
This reassured her slightly, and she quickly called out to Hei Lie.
“Don’t let him bleed, his blood is poisonous!”
Hearing this, Hei Lie paused, obviously understanding the intention behind Qi Yue’s previous actions.
At this moment, he also regretted his actions profoundly.
But withdrawing now was pointless, so he could only keep Hu Keqing tightly engaged, hoping Qi Yue would come up with another solution.
With his caution, he left some margin in his moves.
Suddenly, Hu Keqing, who had been restrained, forced Hei Lie back with a counterattack from his spear and let out a long howl.
As the howl echoed, several leader-like figures immediately started shouting.
“Charge! Rishengchang’s silver and silver notes, whoever grabs them can keep them, no need to turn them over to the authorities!”
“Smash up Rishengchang, empty out the silver!”
“…”
A wave of restlessness surged, and the previously stationary thousand soldiers all started to move.
They climbed over the walls, vying with one another to enter Rishengchang, swarming toward the underground treasury.
Tens of thousands of people, how could twelve stop them, even using laser guns to shoot, as one batch fell, another surged forward.
It was impossible to shoot them all.
Moreover, even more soldiers were pouring onto East Street.
If she used the Small Fragrant Melon, it would inevitably lead to greater casualties!
Fortunately, Rishengchang had already been emptied by her, so let them wreak havoc.
It was clear that Hu Keqing had known in advance that Qi Yue would have powerful weapons, so he used the human wave strategy.
It seemed he had also threatened them in advance; as these soldiers faced their suddenly collapsing comrades, although terrified, they still pressed forward.
Wave after wave of dense heads surged over, even pushing down the walls of Rishengchang.
With a “boom,” even more people shouting and yelling flooded into Rishengchang, completely unstoppable.
Qi Yue stomped her foot in frustration.
“Reckless Hei Lie, you have failed me!”
Suddenly, two figures emerged from the crowd and ran towards Qi Yue.
“Yueyue sister!”
“Disciple!”
“We are here to assist you!”
Qi Yue’s lips quivered weakly, her heart filled only with curses.
Are these two assistance or troublemakers?
But since they were already here, what more could she say!
She hurriedly explained the situation with Hu Keqing to them.
To her surprise, Qu Wei suddenly said, “I know a place with a pool of water!”
