Turning sharply in the direction the poisoned arrow had come from, Su Yu's eyes met those of the archer hiding in the shadows. Su Yu's anger erupted instantly, his bloodshot eyes filled with intense killing intent. A roar quickly flew from his mouth, throwing everyone into a frenzy.
"Who fired this sneak attack? Get out here right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers behind him turned pale and involuntarily took a step back.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Yu's gaze locked onto the rear of the army. After a few strides, he quickly found his target. Then, before the other party could dodge, he suddenly lifted the other party's shoulder with one hand and threw him far away with a powerful force!
With a thud, the archer was forcefully thrown onto the boulder by Su Yu. Due to the immense force, his internal organs were ruptured, and he coughed up blood. He died shortly afterward.
Everyone was shocked by this astonishing scene. Among the crowd, only a few kings sighed silently. The emperor of Jianglan Kingdom was still young and impetuous, willing to fight with his allies for a woman. And how absurd were they? They were old and yet they were being played by a mere brat.
Su Yu stood alone before the crowd, his wide robes billowing wildly in the wind and rain. He stared ahead, his anger undiminished, and then roared again: "I'll say it again, from this moment on, the war is over. Anyone who dares to touch that woman in the slightest will suffer the same fate as him! Anyone who isn't afraid of death, feel free to try!"
Upon hearing this, the people of the various nations realized that today's battle was destined to end in vain because of this woman, and that forcing it would be futile.
"The reason why we, from other countries, have traveled thousands of miles to attack the Northern You Kingdom is entirely due to Your Majesty's strong encouragement. Now that I think about it, it is really not worth causing the world to suffer so much for the sake of fighting for this piece of land."
"Hmm...that makes sense. Since even Jiang Lan Kingdom has no intention of starting another war, then our country doesn't need to waste resources and manpower. I have decided to withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance. Please do as you see fit."
The rulers of the various kingdoms began to eagerly shirk responsibility, and before long, the soldiers of the seven kingdoms had all retreated. In the blink of an eye, only the army of Jiang Lan Kingdom remained on the battlefield behind him.
Su Yu paid no attention to anything else, her eyes fixed on Yu Qianqian on the opposite side. She watched as the arrow pierced through her chest without missing a beat, and her heart ached as if it were being torn apart. She could not even make a subtle move.
At this moment, Yu Qianqian was already in Mu Beichen's arms. She looked up at him with a faint smile on her pretty face and slowly said, "Achen... do you still blame me for what happened last time?"
"Xiao Qian'er, I don't blame you. I only blame myself for being so foolish. I never understood your feelings and made you suffer so much for nothing. I really deserve to die." Mu Beichen gently stroked her messy hair with his right hand, his eyes filled with affection. Unconsciously, a sharp pain surged into his heart.
"Little Qian'er, please don't get hurt, okay? Promise me... don't abandon me this time."
He lowered his eyes and gazed at her, the scar on her cheek standing out prominently. As the intense pain spread through her body, her petite figure trembled in his arms. The arrow was still lodged in her chest through her back. Mu Beichen suddenly felt a panic he had never experienced before, and he became completely disoriented.
