Because without anyone noticing, Liu Tianci, Wang Wuxiao, Qing, Daoist Sikong, and everyone else had already gathered around Ning Ye, forming the most powerful force in the entire Qingyuan County. They were all in place at this moment, and if they didn't even have this chance, then it would truly be a hopeless situation.
"Master Sikong, if I remember correctly, you don't seem to be interested in this kind of thing. Why are you helping us today? Are you planning to die with us?"
Sikong Changfeng said irritably, "You're such a jerk, you can't say anything nice. Can't you at least hope for the best? Maybe we'll win, but it's all uncertain."
Ning Ye smiled slightly, "Come on, Daoist Sikong, give me a hand. As long as we can capture that prince, we have the ability to turn the tide today. Right now, we can only rely on ourselves."
As the saying goes, when everyone is of one mind, nothing is difficult. The moment Ning Ye gave the order, Liu Tianci charged forward like a human tank without the slightest hesitation.
The two hammers in his hands had transformed into two enormous shields, their impact unstoppable, forcing the crowd to its knees and creating a relatively easy path for Ning Ye and his companions.
The swords in the hands of Sikong Changfeng and Xiaoqing were incredibly sharp blades, capable of easily reaping the soldiers on both sides. Moreover, their movements were incredibly light, giving their opponents no chance whatsoever.
Despite the chaos, the battlefield possessed an indescribable beauty. Wang Wu stood guard behind Ning Ye, ensuring that no one would attack Ning Ye from behind, allowing Ning Ye to advance without hesitation.
The other soldiers also fought bravely to clear a path for Ning Ye. This sharp arrow forcefully pierced through the chaotic crowd and approached the prince.
The Crown Prince did not run away, and in his dictionary, it was impossible for him to run away because of one person.
Zhou Tianping was the first to stop Liu Tianci, but the numbness in his arms made him realize that the burly man in front of him was indeed a formidable fighter.
Sikong Changfeng was immediately stopped by a person completely shrouded in a cloak. Judging from the guy's skills, he was probably a top-notch swordsman.
For a time, the two sides were locked in fierce combat, while Ning Ye headed straight for the Crown Prince. Chu Junbao also drew his long sword and charged towards Ning Ye. In this chaotic battle, the two commanders met for the first time.
Ning Ye had initially thought that this prince was just someone with a title, but when they actually fought, he discovered that this person was also a veteran of many battles, and his skills were by no means inferior. In fact, he was not much different from himself in many other aspects.
"I can tell you're quite shocked. Do you really think I'm like the rumors say, someone who only knows how to indulge in sensual pleasures? Everything about me is just a facade, and the real me is the one I am now."
"I was indeed a bit surprised. I didn't expect you to be able to disguise yourself so well. When we first met, I even thought you had kidney deficiency."
Ning Ye's short sentence completely broke the prince's composure. He simply couldn't understand how this man could think like that, how he could say such a thing on the battlefield. It was truly infuriating.
But it doesn't matter. The situation is in his hands now. Even if Ning Ye gets closer, what can he do?
He wanted everyone else to watch Ning Ye, their only savior, die.
When both sides were fighting with all their might, they were completely immersed in the battle, because they both knew that the outcome of their fight could determine the course of the entire battle. No one dared to relax even slightly at this moment.
Wang Wu was still frantically blocking the soldiers who wanted to help, and Sikong Changfeng also wanted to get rid of his opponent as soon as possible to help Ning Ye. Only in this way could this matter be completely ended, but no one could really spare a hand.
The two only met for a dozen or so breaths, but they had already exchanged blows dozens of times, each time seemingly pushing one's limits.
In the repeated clashes, even the weapons in their hands began to break under the strain, because they were too fast and too heavy. Soon, Ning Ye's horizontal saber broke for the first time, and the same was true for the prince's sword. However, the two of them immediately grabbed whatever weapons were at hand.
Whether it's a long spear or a short sword, the two people can use it perfectly as long as they can grasp it, as if fighting is etched into their very bones, and no matter what kind of weapon they have, it can become a killing weapon.
"Come on, come on, this is my first battle after I stopped pretending, and you are absolutely worthy to be my opponent. Don't let me down now."
Ning Ye laughed heartily and said, "Alright, Your Highness, I'll grant your wish. But you mustn't regret dying by my hand. After all, how can someone as noble as you die at the hands of a peasant like me?"
The battle between the two intensified, and soon one weapon after another was shattered. It seemed that these two had reached the pinnacle of human power, and no one could surpass them. No one knew just how valiant they were now.
Just then, Ning Ye keenly sensed a new battle raging nearby. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Lin Qinshu. She had actually led her men to charge forward, wielding the firearms they had previously stored away—weapons that could decide the outcome of the entire battle.
Lin Qinshu didn't know how to use these things, but judging from the demonstration, surely she knew how? Even if she couldn't shoot accurately, she would use them without hesitation as long as they were effective in this situation.
In the instant Ning Ye was distracted, the spear pierced directly into his chest. Ning Ye reacted swiftly, retaliating by plunging his own spear into Chu Junbao's chest as well.
The two men's blood seemed to freeze in that instant. As the huge wound appeared, blood gushed out continuously, and their overheated bodies seemed unable to control it.
The two knelt on the ground at the same time. As for how the battle would end, Ning Ye had no idea, because for some reason, he felt dizzy and could not even lift his weapon.
