The cries of battle and the clashing of weapons intertwined into a melody of death. Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi stood back to back, locked in a tense standoff with the masters of the mysterious organization. Shen Qingchen wielded a longsword, its blade stained with blood, the mark of his recent fierce battle. Jiang Zhi gripped a dagger, her eyes revealing tenacity and determination. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and a few strands of hair plastered to her cheeks, yet this did not diminish her heroic spirit.
During this brief lull in the battle, Shen Qingchen tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Jiang Zhi. His eyes were filled with guilt, as if he had a thousand words to say, but was suppressed by the tense situation. Once, in order to protect Jiang Zhi, he chose the most decisive way - divorce, and took Jiang Yao back, causing Jiang Zhi to endure endless pain and humiliation. In those days, he watched Jiang Zhi's back as she left alone, his heart as if being pierced by thousands of needles, and every night was spent in regret. He knew that the damage his actions had caused Jiang Zhi could not be easily erased, and that the rift was deeply engraved in their relationship.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi also felt Shen Qingchen's gaze, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Memories of the past flooded back like a tide. The sweetness and happiness of the past, after Tang Junxi's murder and Shen Qingchen's divorce, seemed to have become the sharpest thorns, piercing her heart. She remembered the strolls they once took along the park paths together, hand in hand, sharing each other's joys and sorrows; she remembered every romantic date Shen Qingchen had carefully prepared for her. Those vows made under the flowers and moonlight now seemed like fallen leaves in the wind, crumbling.
She couldn't easily forgive Shen Qingchen's betrayal; it was a pain that pierced her bones. But at this moment, as they fought side by side again, facing a common enemy, she had to admit that her feelings for Shen Qingchen hadn't completely faded. It was a complex emotion, a mixture of love and hate; a mixture of reluctance and resentment. She hated his initial decisiveness, hated him for plunging her into endless pain, but she couldn't let go of the sincere love they once shared, and couldn't forget the beautiful times they had spent together.
The enemies around them seemed to have sensed the subtle atmosphere between them and did not launch an attack for the time being. They just surrounded them tightly, as if waiting for the best opportunity. Shen Qingchen moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Zhi: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's deal with the enemy in front of us first." Her voice was cold and firm, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
Shen Qingchen nodded silently. He knew Jiang Zhi was right. At this critical moment, they had to put aside their personal emotions and focus on dealing with the crisis at hand. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and gripped the longsword tightly, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. Jiang Zhi also gripped the dagger tightly, her eyes scanning the surrounding enemies, searching for their weaknesses and flaws.
At this moment, the enemy launched a new round of attacks. A towering expert, brandishing a broadsword, slashed fiercely at Shen Qingchen. Shen Qingchen dodged the blow with a sideways movement, simultaneously thrusting her longsword straight at the opponent's throat. The expert quickly blocked the blow with his broadsword, the sound of metal clashing deafening. Meanwhile, Jiang Zhi was also surrounded by several enemies. Her nimble figure dodged left and right, her dagger piercing the enemy's vital parts from time to time. She used her agility and familiarity with her surroundings to skillfully deal with the enemy.
During the fierce battle, Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi from time to time, worried about her safety. Whenever Jiang Zhi was in danger, he would rush over regardless of everything to block the enemy's attack for her. Although Jiang Zhi still had resentment towards Shen Qingchen in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little touched when she saw him fighting for her. She knew that Shen Qingchen loved her, but the situation at the time made him make the wrong choice.
As the battle dragged on, both Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi gradually began to feel the strain. Their wounds multiplied, their clothes stained red with blood. But they persevered tenaciously, their mutual understanding gradually restored in this life-or-death struggle. Shen Qingchen would deliver a fatal blow from the side while Jiang Zhi attacked, and Jiang Zhi would also intervene when Shen Qingchen was in trouble.
During a fierce battle, Shen Qingchen was wounded by an enemy's hidden weapon, blood immediately flowing from his arm. Seeing this, Jiang Zhi's heart tightened, and he rushed forward to block Shen Qingchen's subsequent attack. Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi's back as she stood up for him, his eyes filled with emotion and remorse. He knew that he owed Jiang Zhi too much, and no matter what, he would protect her and make up for the mistakes he had made.
The situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly tense, and the enemy's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce. Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi knew that if they didn't find a way to break through quickly, they would likely die. Their eyes met, and each saw determination and resolve in the other's eyes. In that moment, they temporarily let go of all their emotional baggage, with only one belief in their hearts: survive and defeat the enemy.
They began to cooperate more closely. Shen Qingchen used his wisdom to analyze the enemy's attack patterns and weaknesses. He found that when the enemy was besieging them, the defense in the rear was relatively weak. So he winked at Jiang Zhi, and Jiang Zhi understood. They began to deliberately move towards the rear of the enemy's encirclement to attract the enemy's attention. As the enemies moved towards them, Shen Qingchen suddenly launched an attack and rushed towards the rear of the enemy's encirclement. Jiang Zhi followed closely behind, attacking the surrounding enemies with the dagger in his hand from time to time, clearing a path for Shen Qingchen.
