Chapter 529 A Fight to the Death
"Kill him quickly!" The Third Prince, with a head as thick as a boiled egg, fanned the flames. "Your Highness, this man is Xie Mubai's confidant. He must not be allowed to live!"
Since I can't kill Xie Mubai, it would be nice if I could kill a vanguard to calm my nerves.
Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai couldn't help but curse: "You traitorous beast, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
What is retribution?
The third prince never thought about it.
He was just a time traveler. In his eyes, these people were not human beings at all. They were just stepping stones for him to ascend to the throne.
Tuoba Yu didn't say anything.
He just slowly picked up a crossbow and aimed the sharp arrow at Hu Dahai's chest.
In foreign countries, Tuoba Yu's archery skills are extremely famous.
As long as he picked up the bow and arrow, the opponent would surely die. Hu Dahai, who was born as an official, naturally knew this.
At this moment, Xie Mubai in the space immediately pulled the trigger.
Suddenly, Tuoba Yu seemed to sense something.
He lowered his head sharply.
The third prince who was hiding behind was caught off guard, and the cold bullet went straight through his not-so-broad chest.
Is this... the end?
The third prince couldn't believe it.
He slowly lowered his head, and when he saw the shocking bloody hole in his chest, his tall body tilted and he fell off his horse.
The hero of the book just disappeared quietly.
The ending was completely rewritten from then on.
"Xie Mubai, come out!" Tuoba Yu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fierce and terrifying. "I know you are here."
After hearing this, Xie Mubai and Shen Wan no longer planned to hide.
The two figures disappeared slightly, and then they came out from behind a big rock.
As soon as he saw Shen Wan, a look of surprise flashed across Tuoba Yu's eyes: "Why are you here?"
Although they only met once, he was deeply impressed by the girl.
At just one glance, he fell in love with this girl with a smile as bright as the sun.
"I'm Xie Mubai's fiancée, so naturally I'm here." Shen Wan raised her eyes to look at him and said coldly.
After hearing this, Tuoba Yu frowned.
"Xie Mubai, if you're still a man, you should let her go." His face was gloomy, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth. "Matters between men should naturally be resolved by men. There's no need to involve women."
"Since you showed mercy just now, I can let her go."
He knew clearly that Xie Mubai had shown mercy by firing that shot just now.
Tuoba Yu was slightly taller than the Third Prince. If he had not dodged just now, the bullet would have only hit his shoulder.
Xie Mubai definitely didn't want Shen Wan to be implicated more than anyone else.
Call him selfish or cowardly, he didn't want them to meet as father and daughter, let alone recognize each other.
It’s just that Shen Wan’s speed just now was too fast. Before he could react, she had already dragged him into the space.
Xie Mubai pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then let's just handle this matter between the two of us."
"It's not just Wan'er, no one else needs to be involved."
"To put it bluntly, this is actually the grudge between our two families."
It is true that the Third Prince and the Marquis of Xiangyang are anxious to get rid of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but the most anxious person is not them, nor the dog emperor, but Tuoba Yu who is thousands of miles away.
As long as the Xie family is eradicated, the Wei Dynasty will be nothing but a pile of loose sand and will fall into his hands at any time.
So, under his secret instigation, the Third Prince and Marquis of Xiangyang became disloyal, which led to the battle of Yumen Pass.
"Alright." Tuoba Yu smiled slightly. "Why don't we fight today to decide the outcome? If I lose, no foreign army will ever set foot in Wei again during my reign."
"If you lose, you, Xie Mubai, will have to be my pawn for the rest of your life."
Xie Mubai naturally would not refuse this request and nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but get anxious.
Although she believed in the villain, Tuoba Yu's strength was too terrifying.
What would she do if something went wrong?
"Don't be afraid, I'll be fine." Looking at her anxious expression, Xie Mubai held her soft little hand. "I haven't married you yet, how could I lose so easily?"
"wait for me!"
"I will definitely give you the most grand wedding in the world and make you the happiest bride!"
Shen Wan was not interested in whether the wedding was grand or not, she was only worried about his safety.
Now everything has deviated from the main storyline, and she really doesn't know what the outcome of the battle between Xie Mubai and Tuoba Yu will be.
Although she was confused, Shen Wan knew clearly that a duel between the two was much better than a confrontation between two armies. At least it would not involve so many innocent people in this war.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to marry me!" Shen Wan's eyes were red, and she forced a smile.
Xie Mubai certainly knew what she was thinking.
He didn't say anything, but just kissed her smooth forehead before letting go.
The cold wind is howling and the snow is falling.
It rarely snows so heavily in the capital in winter.
Xie Mubai stood tall and proudly on a protruding rock on the top of the mountain, letting the cold north wind mess up his inky long hair.
Tuoba Yu stood opposite.
He had a gloomy face, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a cold light as sharp as a knife.
Neither of them moved, just stood there quietly.
Where their eyes met, silver welding sparks seemed to flash.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone's heart was in their throat.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and snowflakes filled the sky.
In the howling cold wind, there was a faint sound of swords clashing.
Shen Wan was extremely anxious.
She opened her eyes wide nervously, but the wind and snow were so strong that she couldn't see the situation on the mountain at all.
"Sister, nothing will happen." Hu Dahai comforted her in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, he hated himself.
If it weren't for his recklessness, Xie Mubai wouldn't have to put himself in danger.
Having said that, Shen Wan's uneasy heart could never be put down.
She gritted her teeth and entered the space.
That's right, she wants to go up the mountain to take a look.
But where are they?
Following the messy footprints, Shen Wan found her way to the top of the mountain.
Finally, she saw the two people entangled with each other on the cliff.
They drew their swords so quickly that Shen Wan couldn't see their moves clearly. She could only see spots of blood on their bodies.
Suddenly, Xie Mubai slowed down.
However, Tuoba Yu took advantage of the situation and thrust his sword straight into his throat.
"No!" Shen Wan was shocked.
Just as he rushed forward, he saw that Tuoba Yu's sword was already against Xie Mubai's throat, and Xie Mubai's sword also pierced Tuoba Yu's clothes, and the white cotton was trembling slightly in the north wind.
"Why are you here?" Xie Mubai's heart immediately jumped to his throat when he saw Shen Wan, "I'm fine, go away!"
Is this okay?
With just a little force, at least one of them would die.
Although that person might not be Xie Mubai, Shen Wan couldn't bear to let him gamble anyway.
That's right, she can't afford to lose.
"You two have already tied, there is really no need to fight anymore." Shen Wan ignored him and just looked at Tuoba Yu.
"No!" Tuoba Yu said stubbornly with a gloomy face, "This must end today."
"As long as one of him or I dies, this matter will be over."
Xie Mubai listened and also advised: "Wan'er, please leave quickly. You will distract me if you stay here."
He was not sure of winning this duel.
He knew that Tuoba Yu was Chen Wan's biological father, so he always held back when attacking.
Because he had let Tuoba Yu go at the foot of the mountain, Tuoba Yu, after letting him take a few moves, began to kill him with his sword.
But even so, he didn't want Shen Wan to help.
If she really killed her biological father, she would definitely regret it!
Suddenly, a strong wind swept the snow all over the sky and hit madly, blurring everyone's vision.
Xie Mubai grabbed Shen Wan’s hand and took the opportunity to step back.
Although he couldn't see anything clearly, Tuoba Yu still swung his sword in the direction of the sound.
Shen Wan was startled and immediately stood in front of Xie Mubai.
She only felt a pain in her chest, and the jade pendant on her neck seemed to fall to the ground.
