On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and the cries of killing were deafening. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen stood back to back, brandishing their weapons constantly, fending off wave after wave of frenzied attacks from members of a mysterious organization. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and sweat mixed with blood streamed down their cheeks, dripping onto the dusty ground.
Jiang Yao had been watching from the edge of the battlefield, jealousy and resentment writhing within her like a venomous snake. Watching Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen fighting side by side, their mutual support and tacit understanding, her jealousy flared to a fever pitch. She had waited so long for this moment, and now, believing she had found the perfect opportunity, she took advantage of the chaos, dagger in hand, and stalked Jiang Zhi's back like a ghost.
Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with madness and determination. She had only one thought in her mind: as long as Jiang Zhi disappeared, Shen Qingchen would be hers. Her footsteps were light, making no sound in the noisy battlefield, and she approached the defenseless Jiang Zhi step by step.
However, during a break in the fight, Shen Qingchen caught a glimpse of a dark figure rapidly approaching Jiang Zhi. His heart tightened, and without giving it much thought, he slammed sideways to shove Jiang Zhi aside, while simultaneously swinging his sword to deflect Jiang Yao's dagger.
"Jiang Yao, you're crazy!" Shen Qingchen roared, his voice filled with anger and disbelief.
Jiang Yao missed her attack and stumbled a few steps. After stabilizing herself, she looked at Shen Qingchen with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness: "Shen Qingchen, I love you so much, why do you only have eyes for her? What's so good about her!"
Shen Qingchen glared at her and protected Jiang Zhi behind him: "Love? This is a twisted possessiveness. You don't understand what love is at all. You hurt Jiang Zhi again and again, how can I tolerate you!"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, her hair draped messily over her shoulders. "I don't understand? I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you. For you, I would do anything. But you ignored me and gave all your tenderness to her."
At this time, the battle around them was still raging. Although the allies fought hard, the mysterious organization's offensive became increasingly fierce, and they gradually became unable to withstand it. Jiang Zhi knew that the situation was critical. She didn't care to entangle with Jiang Yao any more. She whispered to Shen Qingchen, "Qingchen, resolve the current crisis first. We can't let everyone sacrifice in vain."
Shen Qingchen gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. He stared at Jiang Yao warily while cooperating with Jiang Zhi, trying to carve out a bloody path and support other allies.
Jiang Yao, however, seemed to have gone mad. Seeing Shen Qingchen return her attention to the battlefield, she screamed and rushed forward again. Her moves were completely haphazard, a desperate stance. Shen Qingchen had to deal with the attacks of the mysterious organization members while also distracting herself from Jiang Yao, and for a moment, she was in danger.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi grew anxious. She seized an opening and launched a flying kick at Jiang Yao, forcing her back a few steps. "Jiang Yao, wake up! You're only hurting everyone, including yourself," Jiang Zhi said, trying to bring Jiang Yao to her senses.
But Jiang Yao wouldn't listen. Her red eyes were filled with hatred. "What I can't have, no one else can either! Especially you, Jiang Zhi!" She pulled a smoke bomb from her bosom and threw it hard to the ground. Instantly, thick smoke billowed up, filling a large area and obstructing everyone's vision.
Shen Qingchen thought to himself that something was wrong. He reached out to grab Jiang Zhi, but in the chaos, he found nothing. "Jiang Zhi, where are you?" he shouted.
Jiang Zhi coughed in the smoke, trying to discern her direction. Suddenly, she felt a strong gust of wind from behind. She quickly dodged to the side, but was still scratched on the arm by Jiang Yao's dagger.
Seeing that Jiang Zhi was injured, Jiang Yao laughed triumphantly: "Now let's see how you can compete with me!"
Shen Qingchen rushed over following the sound, and upon seeing the injured Jiang Zhi, he was enraged. He rushed towards Jiang Yao recklessly, his sword thrust at her with boundless fury. Jiang Yao frantically tried to parry, but she was no match for Shen Qingchen, and after a few moves, she was exposed.
During a counterattack, Jiang Yao's dagger was knocked away by Shen Qingchen. She widened her eyes in fear and stumbled back. Shen Qingchen pressed on, placing his sword on Jiang Yao's neck: "You deserve to die. Today is the day you die."
Jiang Yao's body trembled, and the madness on her face gradually faded, replaced by deep fear and regret. She looked at Shen Qingchen, tears welling up in her eyes: "Qingchen, I was wrong, please let me go... I just love you too much..."
Shen Qingchen snorted coldly: "You deserve it. Your love is too selfish and too vicious. It has hurt too many innocent people."
Jiang Yao closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come. However, just as Shen Qingchen was about to take action, Jiang Zhi rushed over and stopped him: "Qingchen, don't kill her."
Shen Qingchen was shocked: “Jiang Zhi, she almost killed you, we can’t let her go!”
Jiang Zhi shook his head and looked at Jiang Yao with complicated eyes: "She has already been punished. If we kill her, what difference will there be between us and her? Let her live with regret. It is more painful than death."
Shen Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered his sword. Jiang Yao collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears. She knew that from this moment on, she had completely lost everything. Her jealousy and madness had pushed her into an abyss of no return.
With Jiang Yao's defeat, the mysterious organization's morale was severely damaged. Meanwhile, reinforcements led by members of the family previously plotted against by Jiang Lingchuan descended from the sky and launched a fierce attack from behind. The mysterious organization was thrown into disarray, and Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen seized the opportunity to rally their forces and, along with their allies, launched a final counterattack.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the mysterious organization finally collapsed, and its members fled in all directions. This thrilling battle finally came to an end.
