Hai Yue was choked by Hai Chenxi's words and was speechless for a long time. He took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. He raised his face, which had not been washed for a long time, and glared at the high-spirited Hai Chenxi in the distance. He sneered and said, "Hai Chenxi, what's the point of saying this now? Since you promised my father to come and save this prince, you must keep your promise. Why delay here? Prince, don't you agree?"

Hai Yue suddenly changed the subject and directed his attack at Qi Jingyuan, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the fight. His half-closed eyes exuded strong hatred and coldness, which made people shudder.

Facing Hai Yue's deliberate behavior, Qi Jingyuan's eyes flashed with a sneer, not taking it seriously at all. However, he also lost his patience to continue listening to the two brothers' derogatory remarks to each other. He swept a sharp gaze over the harmless Hai Yue beside him, and then said to Hai Chenxi across from him, "Will Prince Hai come here by himself? Or will I send someone to invite you here?"

"This prince thinks it would be better to ask the crown prince to send the prince here in person, and we can exchange hostages in the middle position. What do you think?" Hai Chenxi looked relaxed, as if he was drinking tea and chatting, while discussing such a serious matter with Qi Jingyuan.

Qi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Hai Chenxi, but his eyes were as firm as before. He was not flustered by Hai Chenxi's sudden embarrassment.

"Hai Chenxi, I didn't expect you to be such a coward. If you are so afraid of death, why bother marching out to fight? It would be better for you to hide in the impregnable Sea Palace. I believe that with Hai Quan's love for you, you will be guaranteed a worry-free life." Qi Jingyuan sneered, and his sinister eyes shot towards Hai Chenxi like a long arrow, with a tearing cruelty.

"Your Highness is too childish to use such provocation." Hai Chenxi sneered, a mocking look on his face, without any trace of nervousness or worry in his expression. It seemed that he really didn't care about Hai Yue's life or death.

How could Qi Jingyuan not understand what Hai Chenxi was thinking?

Qi Jingyuan suddenly pulled the rope in his hand, and Hai Yue was caught off guard and was lifted up by Qi Jingyuan. Then Qi Jingyuan suddenly loosened the rope, and Hai Yue fell to the ground, accidentally pressing down on the severed hand tied behind his back. The pain made Hai Yue sweat profusely, his face pale, and he kept gasping for air.

During this process, Qi Jingyuan's gaze was only on Hai Chenxi's face, and there was always a cold smile in his eyes.

Hai Chenxi watched Qi Jingyuan abuse Hai Yue without a trace of anxiety on his face. Instead, he crossed his arms over his chest, admiring Hai Yue's miserable state with great interest. At the end, he even applauded and laughed, "The prince has truly avenged this prince."

When Hai Yue heard Hai Chenxi's words, he was furious. He ignored the pain in his body and roared at Hai Chenxi with a ferocious face, "You bastard, you are actually gloating over my misfortune. Qi Jingyuan, kill him. I want his body to be torn to pieces."

'Snap' Unexpectedly, Hai Yue had no chance to speak at this time and place. Qi Jingyuan suddenly whipped Hai Yue with a whip and turned to Hai Yue with a deep coldness in his eyes. Hai Yue was so frightened that he immediately closed his mouth and let the skin on his face crack and bleed.

"Hai Yue, don't forget who you are now. Even Hai Quan doesn't have the qualifications to order me around!" Qi Jingyuan sat upright on the horse, his posture straight and his head slightly lowered as he looked down at Hai Yue on the ground. The ferocity and coldness in his eyes made Hai Yue's heart tighten, and he immediately shut his mouth to avoid suffering such physical pain again.

Hai Yue couldn't bear the thought of being so embarrassed in front of Hai Chenxi. Qi Jingyuan was too powerful, and no matter how much he felt resentful, he wouldn't resort to such humiliation. Recognizing the situation, Hai Yue reluctantly shut his mouth for the moment, his eyes glaring fiercely at Hai Chenxi. Even in the pitch-black night, the unwavering hatred in his eyes was clearly visible.

At this time, Qi Jingyuan tapped the horse's belly with his legs, and actually pulled Hai Yue off the horse and slowly walked towards the open space between the two armies.

Hai Yue, caught off guard, stumbled and stumbled, being dragged forward by Qi Jingyuan. He tripped over stones from time to time, yet dared not speak out, fearing Qi Jingyuan would punish him. However, he couldn't swallow the anger he felt. His eyes, gleaming with a faint light, suppressed the hatred within him, forcing himself to calm down.

When Hai Chenxi saw Qi Jingyuan coming out and saw Hai Yue's miserable appearance, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he held the long sword, left the large group of soldiers behind, and rode over alone.

When the generals of the two armies saw their commander come out to exchange hostages, they all stood ready and got into battle formation. Everyone stared intently at the three people in front of them. The soldiers had their bows drawn and their shields raised, and a small number of them were ready to provide support.

Under the cover of night, the vast land outside Beijing was filled with soldiers in armor. The cold light of their weapons was reflected in the silver moonlight. There was a solemn atmosphere in the field, and murderous aura rose from the ground into the night sky.

However, compared to the nervousness of the soldiers in the rear, Qi Jingyuan, holding Hai Yue, who stumbled after his horse, focused his gaze on Hai Chenxi, who was riding up on horseback. With a scrutinizing look in his eyes, he smiled at Hai Chenxi with ease and said, "I didn't expect that at the critical moment, Prince Hai would still be soft-hearted. Blood is thicker than water in this world! I just wonder if the prince will still remember the prince's kindness when he returns."

It sounded like an exclamation, but the tone was full of sarcasm, causing Hai Yue, who had been walking with his head down, to stiffen. Meanwhile, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Hai Chenxi's eyes, and he pursed his lips without replying.

Qi Jingyuan didn't care about the brothers' reaction at this time. He suddenly dropped the rope in his hand, not caring at all whether he had a hostage in his hand.

Seeing this, Hai Chenxi frowned slightly, and vigilance instantly appeared in his eyes. His right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and he was always paying attention to Qi Jingyuan's movements.

Qi Jingyuan saw Hai Chenxi's reaction, but laughed with great ease. In the suburbs of Beijing where the north wind was howling, everyone heard his loud laughter with arrogance and conceit, and they didn't understand what Qi Jingyuan was thinking.

"Is the Sea Palace so afraid of me?" The laughter gradually died down. Qi Jingyuan glanced at Hai Yue, who had kept his head down and remained silent, with a sinister look on his face, and then turned his attention to Hai Chenxi opposite him.

The arrogance and provocation in his tone made Hai Chenxi's eyes suddenly darken. He gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter with his right hand and retorted coldly, "How can an outsider like you comment on the strength of the Sea Palace?"

As he spoke, Hai Chenxi glanced at Hai Yue coldly. Seeing that Hai Yue's hands were tied and his clothes were tattered and dirty, without the slightest demeanor of a prince of the Sea King, he snorted coldly and said, "Hai Yue can't represent the entire Sea King's Palace!"

"Hai Chenxi, you..." Hearing this, Hai Yue suddenly raised his head and glared at Hai Chenxi with anger on his face, his chest heaving, obviously hurt by Hai Chenxi's humiliating tone just now.

"Did I say something wrong?" Under the moonlight, Hai Chenxi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous glint in the corners of his eyes, which enveloped Hai Yue on his horse, and invisibly suppressed Hai Yue so that he had no way to refute.

Qi Jingyuan followed Hai Chenxi's gaze and looked at Hai Yue, only to see that the two brothers had long been at odds with each other, which reminded Qi Jingyuan of Qi Jingxuan.

Hai Chenxi had already anticipated that Qi Jingyuan's goal wasn't to exchange hostages, but to capture everyone in the Sea Palace. He deliberately diverted Qi Jingyuan's attention to Hai Yue, but at this moment, the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed and slashed towards Qi Jingyuan's neck...

A flash of sword energy came towards him, and Qi Jingyuan came to his senses in an instant. He immediately swung the long whip in his hand and wrapped it around the long sword in Hai Chenxi's hand. The two of them immediately took up their positions and started fighting on horseback.

"Prince!" "Crown Prince!"

When the two armies saw their commanders fighting, they immediately raised their weapons, but they did not dare to shoot arrows at will. They could only let the infantry form a formation and rush forward to protect the commanders.

Suddenly, the deafening sound of soldiers fighting rang out in the empty wilderness outside Beijing.

As the infantry rushed forward, the cavalry followed. On the battlefield, the horses' hooves trampled the bodies of the soldiers, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and broken limbs were lying everywhere. The smell of blood instantly reached the sky.

Hai Yue dodged amid the sounds of fighting, but his eyes were always fixed on Hai Chenxi who was fighting with Qi Jingyuan on horseback.

When the infantry of the Sea King Army rushed forward to rescue him, Hai Yue asked them to untie the rope on their hands, snatched the spear from the soldier's hand, avoided the trampling of horses' hooves around him, and quickly approached Hai Chenxi who was fighting with Qi Jingyuan. When Hai Chenxi leaned back to avoid Qi Jingyuan's whip, Hai Yue suddenly raised the spear in his hand and stabbed at Hai Chenxi's mount. The sharp spear head pierced the horse's abdomen, and a string of blood spurted out immediately. The horse looked up to the sky and neighed in pain, and fell to the ground in an instant.

Hai Chenxi, who was on horseback, was caught off guard and fell to the ground...

Seeing an opportunity, Qi Jingyuan whipped Hai Chenxi with the whip in his hand...

Hai Chenxi was furious, and murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart. He hurriedly steadied himself on the ground, and the long sword in his hand immediately stabbed at Hai Yue's throat without mercy.

However, at this moment, a strong cold wind blew towards his neck. Hai Chenxi subconsciously retracted the long sword and blocked it in front of him, blocking Qi Jingyuan's fatal blow at the critical moment.

Seeing Hai Chenxi turn the tables so quickly, Hai Yue felt unwilling to give up. He grasped the spear tightly in one hand and pointed it at Hai Chenxi, who was not far away. Suddenly, he exerted force and threw the spear towards Hai Chenxi with all his might...

Hai Chenxi narrowly avoided Qi Jingyuan's pursuit, and then saw Hai Yue repeatedly trying to kill him. The new and old hatreds in his heart suddenly erupted...

'Dang...' Amidst the clashing noises, only a crisp sound of collision was heard. After a flash of cold light, the spear thrown by Hai Yue was knocked down by Hai Chenxi, and Hai Chenxi pointed the tip of the sword at Hai Yue again.

Hai Yue was extremely anxious. He didn't expect that failing to kill Hai Chenxi would put him in a difficult situation. He immediately turned around and fled to the Sea King's army camp...

At this moment, a cold light chased after his figure...

A column of blood gushed out, Hai Yue stared at the chaotic battlefield in front of him with his eyes wide open. A cold sword pierced through his back to his chest. Hai Yue fell forward suddenly, but he was already dead.

Hai Chenxi, however, felt nothing. Without his weapon, he quickly searched for a horse. Just as he was about to leap onto a horse that had lost its owner, dozens of long swords were already placed on his neck...
