Chapter 738 Lin Wei reactivates the priestly resurrection power for Lin Muxue.
Lin Wei stood not far away, watching helplessly as it all unfolded. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and tears welled in her eyes. She couldn't accept that Lin Muxue was gone just like that; her sister, who had fought alongside her, was now lying in a pool of blood.
However, Lin Wei was not defeated by her grief. She gritted her teeth and buried her pain deep in her heart. Because she knew that this bloody struggle had only just begun, and that blood-stained five-pointed star leather armor would become the sharpest blade of revenge in her hand!
No, it can't end like this! A stronger thought struck her like lightning. Lin Muxue can't die; they still have unfinished business, they still have promises to each other!
Lin Wei suddenly knelt down beside Lin Muxue's cold body, ignoring the howling wind and the faint sounds of pursuers in the distance. Her trembling hand gently brushed across Lin Muxue's blood-stained cheek. Those eyes, which always sparkled with cunning and vitality, were now tightly closed, devoid of any light.
"Mu Xue, wake up... wake up!" Lin Wei's voice was hoarse, filled with desperate sobs, but then her eyes became unusually firm. She took a deep breath, her hands quickly forming hand seals, and she began to chant an ancient and obscure incantation. The incantation did not come from the combat techniques they usually practiced, but rather from the priestly inheritance passed down through generations of the Lin family, which very few people could truly comprehend and utilize.
Lin Wei only recently awakened this inheritance during a trial in her family's forbidden area. It contained a forbidden technique that defied fate—"Touch of Rebirth." This technique uses one's own life force and spiritual power as a conduit to communicate with the life essence of heaven and earth, forcibly pulling the dying or recently deceased back from the underworld. However, the price is enormous; the slightest mistake will exhaust the caster's life force, and even if successful, their cultivation will be severely damaged, and their foundation shaken.
At this moment, Lin Wei couldn't care less about anything else. She immersed herself completely in the moment, and a soft, holy white halo began to emanate from her body. The halo grew brighter and brighter, like a small sun. She reached out her slightly trembling but unusually firm right hand and slowly touched Lin Muxue's unfocused eyelids.
"In my name, by the source of life, I summon the soul back!" Lin Wei's incantation suddenly rose in pitch, carrying an undeniable resolve.
When her palm completely covered Lin Muxue's eyelids, the holy white light suddenly contracted and then surged into Lin Muxue's body!
"Om-"
A soft buzzing sound rang out, and Lin Muxue's body trembled slightly, as if a pebble had been thrown into a lake. The bloodstains on her chest seemed to freeze at that moment, and her originally pale face even showed a very faint blush.
Lin Wei could clearly feel a surge of powerful and warm life energy flowing continuously into Lin Muxue's body through her palm. At the same time, her own life force was draining away at an unprecedented rate. Her face turned deathly pale, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her body swayed precariously, almost unable to maintain her kneeling position. Each breath was accompanied by a pricking pain, and a tearing sensation coursed through her meridians.
But she bit her lip hard, the taste of blood filling her mouth, keeping her conscious to the last shred of her senses. She couldn't fall, she absolutely couldn't! Mu Xue was still waiting for her!
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment. Sweat streamed down Lin Wei's face, dripping onto Lin Muxue's cold neck. Just as Lin Wei felt her life force about to run out, her vision blurring, and she was about to collapse—
"Cough...cough..."
A faint cough, like heavenly music, reached Lin Wei's ears!
Lin Wei shuddered and looked sharply at Lin Muxue. Beneath Lin Muxue's hand, which was covering her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembled slightly!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Muxue slowly opened her eyes a crack. Those eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, regained a faint light, carrying a hint of confusion, a hint of pain, and a hint of unbelievable clarity.
"Wei...Weiwei?" Lin Muxue's voice was hoarse and dry, like a broken bellows, but it was undoubtedly proof that she had come back to life!
"Mu Xue! You're awake! You're finally awake!" Lin Wei could no longer hold on. Her voice was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster and the weakness of exhaustion. Her vision went black, and her body slumped backward. In her last moments before losing consciousness, she saw Lin Mu Xue anxiously reaching out to grab her, her eyes filled with shock and worry.
"Weiwei!" Lin Muxue struggled to sit up, but found her body aching and weak; she couldn't fully control her newly awakened body. She could only watch helplessly as Lin Wei collapsed, a wave of panic and confusion washing over her. She remembered being struck in a vital spot by the enemy, already… why was she here? What happened to Weiwei? The white light around her…
Lin Muxue looked down at her eyelids, where the lingering warmth and sacred touch of Lin Wei's hand seemed to remain. An absurd yet singular thought arose in her mind: Could it be that Weiwei... saved me?
Despite her discomfort, she struggled to move and crawl to Lin Wei's side, embracing her limp body. Her hands touched Lin Wei's cold skin and her faint breath. Lin Muxue's heart clenched instantly, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
"Weiwei... Weiwei, how are you? Don't scare me..." she choked, gently shaking Lin Wei, but only received a faint groan from the other.
Lin Muxue looked up at Lin Wei, whose face was as pale as paper and who was barely breathing, in her arms. Then she looked down at the wound on her chest that had stopped bleeding, and at the five-pointed star leather armor she wore, which was also stained with blood but seemed to faintly glow. She understood. Lin Wei had paid an unimaginable price to save her!
A mix of gratitude, heartache, anger, and self-reproach surged within her. She hugged Lin Wei tightly, burying her face in the crook of her neck, her tears soaking Lin Wei's clothes.
"Weiwei, thank you... Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone anymore. From now on, it's my turn to protect you!" Lin Muxue's voice was choked with tears, yet unusually firm. She carefully helped Lin Weiwei to sit up and lean her against her chest, then looked around warily.
Pursuers could arrive at any moment, and their situation remained dangerous. But at this moment, Lin Muxue's heart was filled with strength. She not only wanted to survive, but also to survive with Weiwei, and to make those who had harmed them pay a bloody price!
She looked down at Lin Wei, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, then touched the warm five-pointed star leather armor on her chest. Her eyes sharpened and turned icy. Lin Wei had used the power of the priest's inheritance to ignite the light of life in her, and she would use this blood-stained five-pointed star leather armor to carve a bloody path for them, protecting this life and friendship that had been lost and regained! The flames of revenge burned fiercely in her eyes, hotter than ever before. And within her newly awakened body, a new power seemed to surge—the power of rebirth, bought with Lin Wei's life!
