"Get out of my way!" Ning Yu roared, throwing a punch that sent a thug blocking his path flying. The thug's body arced through the air before crashing heavily several meters away, his fate unknown.
"Oh no! Protect the boss!" The other bandits were terrified when they saw this. They abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Ning Yu, trying to use their bodies to block his advance.
However, it was too late!
Ning Yu was incredibly fast; he was like lightning, weaving through the crowd, each move carrying the force of a thunderbolt. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the scarred man.
The scarred man looked at the blood-soaked young man before him, and fear finally showed in his eyes. He tried to hide, but it was too late.
"you……"
"You..." The scarred man was terrified, but before he could finish speaking, he was swallowed up by the cold light in Ning Yu's eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Yu's blade transformed into a streak of silver light, aiming straight for the scarred man's throat. Blood splattered where the blade passed, and the scarred man didn't even have time to utter a scream before collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief and boundless terror.

Standing on high ground, Ning Yu gazed at the horrific scene before him, but his eyes held no joy, only boundless sorrow. He knew that behind this victory lay countless lives lost, bought with the shattering of countless families.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the grief in his heart. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, a determined light shining in them. He knew that now was not the time to grieve; he had more important things to do.
"Pass down the order to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." Ning Yu's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Yes!" His command was the law of this ruin, and no one dared to disobey it.
Ning Yu turned around and slowly walked into the distance. His figure appeared exceptionally tall and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"We won..." came Mu Xue's tired but joyful voice from behind.
