As dusk deepened, it was unclear how long the battle had lasted. Amidst the screams of the soldiers, human remains and blood flew everywhere, staining the magnificent palaces and towers. The intricately carved dragons entwined on the towering stone pillars in front of the Luo Chen Palace seemed poised to leap out and devour everything in their path!

Outside, things were as bustling as ever, with the long streets teeming with people and stalls, but inside the palace, a chilling atmosphere of despair permeated the air.

Su Yu closed his eyes and ears, letting the blood flow like a river behind him. Then he turned his head slightly, his eyes flashing in a certain direction. At this moment, he finally met Mu Feiyu's gaze. He spoke these words slowly and calmly, not at all like someone who was making threats.

"Release her now, and I might spare your life; otherwise... I swear, I will make you pay a hundred times the price."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feiyu immediately laughed: "Little Emperor, don't deceive yourself. This woman's life is still in my hands. I don't believe you can bring yourself to do it."

At this moment, Mu Beichen took advantage of their unpreparedness and targeted Meng Yuan in Fengyi Palace. He leaped into the air and flew horizontally, passing over the heads of the people who were fighting fiercely. With a crack, he broke through the window and entered.

Ignoring Meng Yuan's terrified state as she fell to the ground screaming, he raised his large hand, grabbed her by the neck without any mercy, and burst out of the window again. The two of them appeared in front of everyone's eyes, finally causing Mu Feiyu to look back in a daze.

"You...you actually dared to touch the Empress, Mu Beichen, you deserve to die!" Mu Feiyu stared intently at the woman in front of Mu Beichen, his expression slightly stagnant. He had never seen such panic and exasperation before.

Meanwhile, the people fighting in the arena were also stunned by this scene. Some of them even stopped their movements and looked at the few people who were locked in a stalemate.

With a long sword held horizontally, Mu Beichen placed it against the woman's neck without hesitation. He revealed a look of disgust and sneered coldly, "Hmph! A woman who sleeps with anyone, does she deserve to be the empress? If it weren't for saving Xiao Qian'er, I wouldn't even bother touching such trash."

At this moment, he was like a cold-faced and ruthless Yama, exuding a boiling aura of malevolence. He could kill everyone on the spot if one was not careful, which made people fearful.

"Mu Beichen, you pride yourself on being upright and kind, yet you use such despicable means to deal with a weak woman. Now it seems you truly are a hypocrite. The world says I, Mu Feiyu, am a demon fallen to earth, but how much better are you? To put it bluntly, we've always been the same kind of people." Mu Feiyu grew angrier as she spoke, increasing the pressure on her hands until Yu Qianqian's neck cracked loudly.

Seeing that Yu Qianqian's neck was about to be snapped, and especially seeing the woman opposite him with a pained expression, he panicked and shouted at Mu Feiyu, "Stop talking nonsense, one for one, neither of us will lose out."

"Mu Beichen!" Mu Feiyu took two steps forward, making it clearer to the other party that Yu Qianqian was about to die in his hands. He suddenly shouted coldly, "I'm going to take Yu Qianqian's life, and I'm going to take the world too. As for that woman, you can do with her as you please!"

Meng Yuan never expected that the man who had always been so trusting and affectionate could say such heartless words. She secretly groaned, staring at everything in front of her with eyes full of grievance and despair.

Both being women, at such a critical moment of life and death, Yu Qianqian could make two men sacrifice themselves for her, and even if she died, it would be worth it. On the other hand, she had given her deep affection for more than ten years and was willing to be used by him all along, only to be betrayed and deceived in return.
