Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 256 Fierce Battle
It was nearly impossible for Lianye to protect her from so many evil spirits all by herself, but Ren Wenhan managed to escape under Lianye's protection.

But in the end, she was still injured. The sharp nails of a demon, whose cultivation was said to have reached the level of a Ghost King, had already pierced her flesh. At this moment, Ren Chi arrived, but as an ordinary person, he, along with Xie Weiqi whose strength had been greatly reduced, could not stop the Ghost King's actions at all. At the critical moment, a rain of sharp flower petals came and repelled the demon. Then, her mother, Lian Duo, came to her side.

Lian Duo was fighting with the Ghost King, but it was clear that Lian Duo was no match for the Ghost King, and she also had to distract herself by mobilizing many flower petals to protect herself and Ren Chi.

Not long after, Lian Duo was severely injured by the Ghost King and fell to the ground, unable to get up. Although humans are nourishing, demons containing spiritual energy are even more precious tonics for evil spirits. But how could a demon in its prime digest such a thing? Now that Lian Duo has been reborn, she is the perfect meal to enhance his cultivation.

But the evil spirit never expected that after defeating Lian Duo, whose strength had greatly diminished, Mo Mo, at his peak, would catch up. Although Mo Mo hadn't cultivated for as long as Lian Duo and Lian Ye, they were from different cultivation systems. Lian Duo and Lian Ye were spirits transformed from plants. Plants themselves originally had little offensive power, but after gaining sentience and cultivating into spirits, they acquired offensive demonic power and developed offensive techniques. Mo Mo, on the other hand, was a more aggressive beast. Even beasts that hadn't become spirits possessed a certain degree of aggression, let alone those that had. Even if Mo Mo was a cat, he was a carnivorous cat, and Mo Mo's combat power was undeniable.

Therefore, even though the time spent silently cultivating was not as long as that of the lotus leaves and lotus blossoms, in terms of combat power, Mo Mo was definitely no weaker than the twin flower spirits, Lian Ye and Lian Duo. As soon as Mo Mo stepped forward, the Ghost King had no time to pay attention to Lian Duo and her daughter. He even had some difficulty parrying Mo Mo's attacks, so where would he find the time to be distracted by the food?

Xie Weiqi also joined the battle, but this place was originally a special place specially opened up by many demons to save the Weapon Bird Clan. Over the years, there have been countless evil spirits here. Even though Mo Mo and Xie Weiqi joined the battle, it was inevitable that some would slip through the net.

At this moment, a twisted demon leaped high into the air, raising its sharp claws to grab Ren Wenhan and Lian Duo.

"Wife! Wenhan!" Ren Chi exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to protect the two of them in his arms.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!" Two sharp sounds of blades slicing into skin rang out. Ren Chi trembled slightly and tightened his grip on the two people, but he managed to suppress a cry of pain as he warily watched the evil spirit.

The evil spirit, thinking it had succeeded, grinned savagely and licked the remaining blood off its hand.

"Achi!" Lianduo called out worriedly.

Just as the evil spirit was about to make a move, it was stopped by Xie Weiqi, who was chasing after it. Xie Weiqi's arrival did indeed lighten Ren Chi's burden. Ren Chi endured the pain from the wound on his back, picked up Lian Duo, and said to his daughter Ren Wenhan, "Wenhan, let's take your mother to a safer place."

Ren Wenhan nodded hurriedly, but at that moment they heard Xie Weiqi's panicked warning, "Old Ren! Be careful!"

Ren Chi quickly turned around. Three evil spirits, each with a different death and a ferocious grin, had already caught up with him. "Hahaha..." The evil spirits let out excited, eerie laughter. Ren Chi's pupils contracted. These evil spirits were impossible to escape from. What should he do now? Based on his observation, Lian Duo couldn't afford to get hurt again. Ren Chi looked at Lian Duo, whose skin was now almost transparently white.

Lian Duo can't afford to get hurt anymore. As the head of the family, he must protect his children and wife in this critical moment. Ren Chi's eyes were firm. He was determined to fight these vicious and disgusting ghosts!
Before his thoughts had even settled, Ren Chi felt the weight in his hand suddenly lighten, and Lian Duo had vanished from his arms in an instant.

"Lian Duo!" Ren Chi exclaimed in surprise, and quickly looked over at the three ghosts that had chased after them. Sure enough, Lian Duo was fighting with the three ghosts.

"Wife!" Ren Chi called out in a panic.

"Take your daughter and leave quickly!" Lian Duo said without turning his head. No matter what, he couldn't let these evil spirits go today. Why did the Weapon Bird Clan break the seal? Why did the hopes of all the demon races fall through? It was all because of these evil spirits who copied others' ideas and used their formations to indiscriminately kill innocent people!

If it weren't for them, who slaughtered so many humans and cultivators, causing this place to be filled with resentment, how could the resentment of the magical bird have never been completely purified!
Now they even want to kill her husband and daughter! As the guardian of Huaiqing City, she has been on the run for over twenty years, but she can no longer escape. Today, let all these despicable evil spirits die here.

Lian Duo's eyes narrowed, and she unleashed a powerful attack. A shower of petals fell from the sky, then spun rapidly, transforming into sharp, razor-sharp blades that attacked the evil spirits from all directions. This indiscriminate, large-scale attack was too much for many evil spirits to withstand. The weaker ones were pierced through the body by countless petals and instantly vanished into thin air.

Lianye naturally noticed the pink petals as well. A petal drifted down in front of her, and as she caught it, her expression changed drastically. This was a petal from Lianduo! How could this be? Had she transformed into a human?
Lian Duo has essentially reverted to her true form. Although she hasn't died or perished, it's practically the same as starting cultivation anew. To transform into human form like this, and possess such powerful demonic energy! Could this be a forced transformation?
Has she lost her mind?! Does she really intend to destroy herself completely?! How can Lian Duo possibly repay her for using 1000 years of cultivation to save her?! Does she really not care at all about her sister's feelings? She left her for over twenty years for a man, never returning, abandoning her demon identity, abandoning their mission, even abandoning their benefactors, the Qi Niao clan! Abandoning everything! And now she's even forcibly transforming into human form—what does she take them for?!
Lianye was extremely anxious and wanted to go to Lianduo right now to scold her awake! But there were so many ghosts and monsters that had accumulated over such a long time, and they were all entangled with her, so she really couldn't go over there.

Lotus! Don't do anything foolish!

Meanwhile, more and more monsters attacked Lian Duo. Ren Wenhan stayed behind because she was worried and kept watching Lian Duo.

In the blink of an eye, a gust of wind swept by, and a ghost appeared, its five fingers clenched into a spear shape, and it stabbed down towards Ren Wenhan's heart!
"Wenhan!!!"
