Chapter 1153 He never wanted to hurt her

It's her!

Xiao Yuansui chased after her with all his might. Soldiers scattered like birds and beasts and rushed around in front of him. He didn't even have time to scold or punish them. He just pushed the person away from him and rushed forward to grab her wrist.

Just as he was about to pull the person back, he saw Shang Ruyi, whom he had grabbed, suddenly turn around and her other hand, which was not being grabbed, suddenly shove towards him.

In her hand, she held a bloodstained knife!

"ah--!"

Hearing that low, hoarse growl and seeing the cold light approaching, Xiao Yuansui felt a surge of anger, but he also felt a strange urge to laugh. He grabbed the hand holding the knife, twisted it behind his back, and with a "crack," the wrist was dislocated.

The short knife fell to the ground with a thud.

This time, Shang Ruyi didn't even have time to scream before she collapsed to the ground in agony.

Sweat, mixed with the mud and blood she had picked up while fleeing, streamed down her forehead and cheeks, soon soaking her veil. Her face looked disheveled and filthy, and the way she curled up on the ground, trembling in pain, only added to her wretched state.

Even so, Xiao Yuansui did not let go of the other hand that was holding her wrist.

In fact, he was so angry that he couldn't control the force in his hand. Even though he knew he had injured one of her wrist bones, he didn't relax his grip at all. The slender, trembling wrist bone in his palm seemed like it would shatter at any moment.

Normally, he would have let her go to see what harm he had caused her.

He never wanted to hurt her.

But at this moment, he not only did not loosen his grip, but also did not reduce his strength. His palm was even constantly tightening, and the wrist that was still intact trembled as if it were about to break in his palm. Shang Ruyi seemed to have lost her mind due to the pain. At this moment, she kept waving her arms and struggling, trying to break free from his restraints.

Xiao Yuansui's expression darkened further.

He kept pushing, and before his eyes he could almost see himself crushing the woman's bones, making her scream in agony as she crawled at his feet. This sight caused him pain, but also a strange sense of pleasure, as if the scene was sweeping away the impending collapse.

He gritted his teeth and exerted force on his hands again.

"Hmm!"

This time, Shang Ruyi was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to struggle. She knelt on the ground, curled up tightly, and didn't raise her head. Her hair was disheveled and she was covered in mud. She trembled in his hands.

"You want to kill me..."

Xiao Yuansui's lips curled into a chilling smile, yet a strange, burning intensity in his eyes made it almost impossible for him to see the person before him clearly. He said, "Do you really think I'd let you return to Yuwen Ye's side alive?"

This statement almost revealed his true intentions to the world.

Shang Ruyi's wrist trembled violently once again, then fell silent, as if quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Xiao Yuansui gave a cold laugh.

Just when he thought he had finally won this battle, several lieutenants suddenly cried out in alarm and panic behind him: "General, the Xuanjia Army is attacking!"

"...!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuansui was shocked and could no longer deal with Shang Ruyi. He hurriedly turned around and saw several lieutenants walking out of the tear he had made behind the central command tent. They were all terrified. On the other side of the tent, he could hear deafening shouts coming from the other side. Smoke and blood mist were already approaching.

As expected, that flag pointed the way for the Xuanjia Army soldiers who were trapped among the 100,000-strong army; they were heading this way!

Xiao Yuansui said, "Get the cavalry ready, let's fight them!"

"yes!"

The crowd responded hastily, and he no longer hesitated. He didn't even look at Shang Ruyi, whom he held in his hand like a lifeless trophy with only symbolic significance, and dragged her forward.

Before long, they arrived at the front. Xiao Yuansui gave an order, and his cavalrymen were ready to go. He immediately mounted his horse and dragged Shang Ruyi onto the horse as well, so that they could ride together.

She remained silent and did not look up, only hunched over, clutching her dislocated wrist.

He was as quiet as a block of ice without any temperature.

Xiao Yuansui stopped wasting words with her, wrapped his hands around her slender waist, gripped the reins tightly, and gave a sharp shake: "Giddy up!"

His warhorse immediately galloped off, following closely behind him, while the rest of the cavalry drew their swords, mustering their last bit of fighting spirit as they charged forward.

Almost the instant they charged out of the camp, they heard a thunderous roar from ahead, followed by billowing dust and shouts. Looking up, they saw a dark expanse before them, but instead of a throng of heads, the Xuanjia Army was advancing with earth-shaking force!

Based solely on the Qin King's banner that had just been raised behind the central command tent, in that brief moment, the several Xuanjia armies, exhausted from battle and nearly swallowed up by the enemy, all found their way. Gao Feng and Jiang Kesheng immediately led their troops to rush in from the north and south. Just as they had clearly seen the location of the central command tent in the army ahead, a rider suddenly charged out from the middle, knocking a charging cavalryman to the ground, his screams echoing through the sky.

Those fiery red warhorses were dazzling!

"It is His Highness, the King of Qin!"

Gao Feng shouted with joy, and at the same time, he heard Jiang Kesheng's familiar cheers coming from the other side. Looking up from both sides, he was even more delighted—

The Xuanjia Army has finally reunited here!

At the same time, Shen Tu Tai and others, who were right behind Yuwen Ye, also rode up and charged forward. The several groups of people completely merged, and everyone immediately formed a battle formation. The soldiers in the first row raised their blood-stained swords and spears, shouting the slogan that the King of Qin would surely win as they charged. The shouts were deafening. The soldiers who wanted to form a formation to block them were frightened by this scene and retreated step by step. In the end, they didn't even have a chance to escape and were directly swallowed up by this row of black-armored soldiers.

Instantly, blood flowed like a river...

The entire Xuanjia Army eventually gathered together, forming a wheel that seemed to be cast in steel and covered with spikes, crushing everything in its path.

Yuwen Ye, carrying a long-handled sword, charged ahead at the forefront.

As he charged forward on horseback, he saw the cavalry ahead arrayed in preparation for battle. In the crowd, he immediately spotted those familiar, bright and sharp eyes, now bloodshot, staring at him fiercely.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.
