At that moment, the mysterious assassins who had been surrounding them also began to attack the palace guards, and some others attacked from different directions, quickly blocking all their escape routes.
As the fierce battle between the two sides intensified, at that very moment, a cold arrow suddenly flew out from the chaos of battle, and the arrowhead was flying straight towards Leng Yuexi's back!
Su Yu whirled around, her sharp gaze suddenly focusing on the direction from which the cold arrow had come. Without hesitation, she quickly turned around and shielded Leng Yuexi tightly behind her.
"Yuexi, run! I'll kill them and rescue Qianqian!" A sudden shout escaped his lips. Su Yu pushed her away with a palm, and he instinctively used his injured arm to swing his sword to block. Unexpectedly, he felt a sharp pain spread through his body.
Just then, his right hand involuntarily loosened, and the blade fell to the ground with a crack. Seeing that the cold arrow was only centimeters away from his chest, he had no time to dodge and had no choice but to resign himself to the countdown to death.
"No, I won't leave you. Whether we live or die, we'll be together!" Leng Yuexi shouted immediately after his words, and in that instant, it was truly a critical moment.
As many onlookers watched helplessly as the cold arrow grazed Su Yu's chest, about to pierce through him, a swift, ghostly sword shadow flashed past the heads of the two sides locked in fierce combat.
Immediately afterwards, a cold sword with a chilling gleam suddenly pierced through the clouds. In an instant, the sword fell and the person arrived. A burst of extremely powerful cold light burst forth. In that instant, the flying arrow was actually cleaved in two!
Seeing this, the subordinates of the three sides who were fighting fiercely all focused their attention on Mu Beichen. The chaotic fighting stopped abruptly, and someone in the center of one side couldn't help but exclaim, "Such fast swordsmanship! It's truly a rare sight!"
"Wait! I think I know him. Isn't this the emperor of the Northern You Kingdom?"
"I had only heard of the Emperor's awe-inspiring reputation before, but I never thought I would have the honor of seeing him in my lifetime. Today is truly worthwhile!"
The Southern Kingdom's leader, already furious at being inexplicably humiliated, became even more enraged when he saw his servants fawning over his arch-enemy. He glared angrily at his subordinates and launched into a tirade: "How could the Southern Kingdom have raised such useless wretch? You deliberately disrupt the morale of the army when the two nations are at war! Such disloyalty to the king warrants execution without prior notification!"
As soon as the Southern general finished speaking, the scene changed drastically. The Southern Lion Army, the elite secret guards of the Purple Swallow Kingdom, and the top assassins of the Northern Nether Kingdom were all engulfed in a chaotic battle, as terrifying as boiling steel.
Su Yu never expected Mu Beichen to come, and even more unexpectedly, this man who had always regarded her as his mortal enemy would save her life when she was on the verge of death.
After a long time, the soldiers from the three sides were still fighting desperately. There were human remains on the ground, as well as the restless spirits of the wronged.
Mu Beichen's sudden appearance gave Su Yu time to help Leng Yuexi. They supported each other as they watched Mu Beichen and the Southern Kingdom general fight desperately.
They stabbed each other fiercely, each seizing an opening to deliver deadly blows with a combination of swords and arrows. Before long, both of them were covered in wounds.
