Chapter 224 Silently Praying for Xinghan
Xinghan saw Mo Fang's actions and realized the existence of the illusion, but he didn't have time to think about it. He could only rely on his trust and protectiveness for Shen Li, and rushed forward without hesitation, using his body to block Mo Fang's fatal sword.
"boom!"
The sword flashed, and Xinghan's body was blown away by the powerful force, and his clothes were instantly stained red with blood. Shen Li felt heartbroken when she saw this, but she had no time to be sad, because she knew it was not the time to stop.
She quickly used her understanding of illusions to find a way to break it and rescued Mo Fang from the illusion.
After Mo Fang woke up, he saw Xinghan lying on the ground and Shen Li covered in blood, and instantly understood everything. He was filled with remorse and immediately joined the battle, fighting side by side with Shen Li.
With their joint efforts, the battle situation gradually became clear. After losing the command of their leader, Fu Sheng's army was completely defeated and fled in all directions.
Finally, when the battle was nearing its end, Fu Sheng saw that the situation was hopeless and no longer had his former arrogance. He took advantage of the chaos and fled the battlefield in a panic.
Shen Li and Mo Fang led everyone to clean up the mess on the battlefield, while keeping an eye on Xinghan's injuries.
Although victory is in sight, everyone's heart is filled with worry and gratitude for Xinghan. In this battle, Xinghan used his actions to interpret what true courage and sacrifice are.
Gu Chengjin stood aside and witnessed it all, with mixed emotions surging in his heart.
He knew very well that without Xinghan's bravery and sacrifice, Gu Cheng would have fallen into the hands of evil spirits long ago, not to mention having the power to fight back today.
Xinghan not only saved Shen Li and Mo Fang, but also indirectly protected the peace and stability of the entire Gucheng.
He slowly walked towards Xinghan, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude. Looking at Xinghan's pale but resolute face and the blood that kept pouring out of his body, Gu Chengjin's eyes couldn't help but become wet. He squatted down, gently patted Xinghan's shoulder, and said in a choked voice:
“Xinghan, you…you are the hero of our town. We have seen your bravery and sacrifice, and we remember them in our hearts. Thank you for everything you have done for us.”
Gu Chengjin's words were full of sincerity and affection. His words were like a warm current that warmed Xinghan's exhausted body and mind.
Despite the serious injuries, Xinghan's lips curled up into a faint smile.
He knew that his efforts were not in vain, and that it was his greatest honor to receive recognition and praise from Gu Chengjin.
Gu Chengrui's evil plan completely failed due to Xinghan's heroic resistance. He originally thought that he could use the power of evil spirits to overthrow Gu Cheng, but he didn't expect to end up like this.
Seeing Xinghan fall to the ground seriously injured, he not only did not feel the slightest sympathy or regret, but instead felt even more resentful and unwilling.
However, at this moment, he had lost all his support and strength and could only watch his plan come to nothing.
Gu Chengjin looked at Gu Chengrui's miserable appearance, his heart filled with anger and disappointment.
He knew that Gu Chengrui's actions had completely betrayed the interests of Gu Cheng and the family, and he must pay the price for it.
So he ordered Gu Chengrui and his accomplices to be arrested, awaiting further trial and punishment.
After this battle, the town welcomed the long-lost peace and tranquility. People praised Xinghan's heroic deeds and regarded him as a hero and role model who protected Gu Cheng.
Shen Li's heart sank to the bottom. She held Xinghan's cold hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance and determination.
The doctor's words were like a cold verdict, but she was unwilling to accept such a result. She took a deep breath and said to everyone present:
"We can't just give up on him. He can still be saved! He has sacrificed so much for us. I will never allow him to leave like this."
Upon hearing this, Mo Fang immediately summoned all the Yin Yang Masters and Shikigami. They formed a circle and began to cast various spells and secret techniques to restore Xinghan's vitality. Shen Li even mobilized the powerful power in his body given by Xinghan, trying to guide it into Xinghan's body, hoping to awaken his dormant vitality.
Time seemed to stand still. The only sounds in the courtyard were people's low chanting and the hum of the magic circle being activated.
Gu Chengjin stood aside and prayed silently for Xinghan. He was well aware of the deep friendship between Shen Li and Xinghan, and also understood that she needed everyone's support at this moment.
Just when everyone was about to give up hope, Xinghan's fingers suddenly moved slightly. This subtle movement, like a ray of dawn in the darkness, instantly illuminated everyone's heart.
A glimmer of tears flashed in Shen Li's eyes, but she bit her lips tightly to prevent the tears from falling. She knew that this was Xinghan responding to her call.
As the magic circle continued to operate, Xinghan's breath gradually became steady and strong. The doctor checked his pulse again and was surprised to find that although he was still weak, he was no longer in the dying state.
He looked at Shen Li, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction:
"It's a miracle that his vitality is returning! You did it. There is hope that he will recover."
Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief, tears finally bursting out of her eyes, but a long-lost smile appeared on her face. She leaned over and whispered to Xinghan:
"Did you hear that? You can't just abandon us like this. We still need you."
In the following days, Shen Li stayed by Xinghan's side almost every step of the way, taking care of his daily life and accompanying him through every difficult recovery period.
And with her company, Xinghan gradually woke up from his coma. Although his body still needed a long time of rest, his spirit was extremely strong.
As Xinghan gradually woke up from his coma, an ominous premonition quietly enveloped everyone's heart. After a series of careful examinations, the doctor solemnly announced a heartbreaking fact to everyone:
Xinghan's body is undergoing an unprecedented aging process, as if time is accelerating on him, and the candle of life is swaying in the wind and may go out at any time.
The little fur ball, the usually lively and cute little fellow, seemed to sense his master's uneasiness at this moment. He curled up quietly at the head of Xinghan's bed and slept most of the time. When he opened his eyes occasionally, his eyes were full of worry and reluctance. His presence became the most gentle companion beside Xinghan's sickbed.
Whenever Xinghan's mental state improved a little, he would always express that simple yet extravagant wish - to watch the moon with Shen Li.
Although his vision was blurred and he could no longer witness the bright moon in the night sky with his own eyes, he still insisted on asking Shen Li to take him to the yard. Lying in a rocking chair, he listened to Shen Li gently describing the soft moonlight and the depth of the starry sky.
In Shen Li's words, Xinghan seemed to be able to feel the tranquility and beauty again. His face was filled with a happy smile, although there was endless bitterness hidden behind that smile.
As Shen Li gently described the softness of the moonlight and the depth of the starry sky, Xinghan's face was filled with a happy smile. Although his body was becoming increasingly weak, his mind seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space.
He gently held Shen Li's hand, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say.
"Shen Li, do you know? Although I can't see the bright moon with my own eyes, my heart can feel its brilliance that spans thousands of years."
