The Ye soldiers always obeyed orders and would not let emotions interfere with military orders. So they immediately turned around and went to complete their mission, waiting for the general to finish dealing with these people and then rejoin them.
Yuwen Sheng's figure was as graceful as a ghost, and his swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind. Gongshu Jiru had already witnessed how terrifying his martial arts were, while the others were intimidated by his thunderous and fierce sweeping momentum.
His sharp edge flashed like a shooting star. Although Gongshu Jiruo's guards could not match him individually, dozens of them attacked together, their moves were ever-changing, and for a time a stalemate was reached.
However, just when they thought that their numbers could restrain Yuwen Sheng, they saw him suddenly change his sword stance. He no longer focused on defending against non-fatal attacks, but instead only focused on reaping heads. At that moment, the tide turned.
His reckless fighting style left them unable to break the deadlock for a time. Despite their numbers and bravery, they were no match for him with his sword in hand. Every move he made was deadly, and he was now even more unstoppable.
He killed and was wounded, but he saw no one in his eyes. He simply watched Gongshu Jiruo silently, like a venomous snake, with a gaze that sent chills down one's spine.
Saw gritted his teeth. As Yuwen Sheng continued to stretch and close the battlefield, he had no choice but to protect the wounded Gongshu Jiruo as they retreated repeatedly.
"He's a war maniac, my lord, you should step back."
Gongshu Jiruo had lost too much blood to even speak: "He won't stop until he kills me, or until he falls here today."
Gongshu Jiruo understood the meaning behind his eyes: he was saying that no one could stop him, and that whoever came today would surely die.
Saw refused to believe that so many of them couldn't defeat Yuwen Sheng. Even if he was a peerless martial artist, he was still just one person.
"My lord, please stay away for now and let Saw go up and deal with him!"
Gongshu Jiruo's expression changed, and he tried to stop him, but Ju Zi had already released him and rushed out like a cannonball.
Saw charged into the fray. His towering, towering frame gave him a clear advantage. He raised his massive, sandbag-like fist and slammed it down on Yuwen Sheng's head and neck.
Wherever his punches landed, it felt like a biting wind scraping against the skin.
But Yuwen Sheng's swordplay was more ferocious, like a dragon, and as sharp as ocean waves. His sword wind entangled the saw, cutting his arm into a bloody mess, and he stumbled along the way...
But the others were no pushovers either. While he was distracted by the saw, they unleashed their full firepower, inflicting more and more wounds on Yuwen Sheng, while the enemy's numbers dwindled.
Finally, the human wave tactic failed. With just a gap or an opening, Yuwen Sheng took a leap, soaring like an eagle, and shook off those who were surrounding him.
His laughter was deafening, and his blood-red sword was already upon Gongshu Jiruo...
Gongshu Ji leaned against the wall, his chest heaving, his pale lips pressed tightly together in a straight line.
"My lord!"
The saw hissed and roared, his blood rushing to his head, his face turning red. He leaped into the air in a few steps, ignoring his injured hand that exposed bone, and threw a punch with almost all his might at Yuwen Sheng's back...
But Yuwen Sheng showed no intention of dodging. He smiled eerily, intending to kill Gongshu Jiruo with a single sword strike, even at the cost of serious injury...
Just as the Gongshu family members were about to explode with rage, a furious shout suddenly came from the side: "Yuwen Sheng, are you crazy? Get out of the way!"
Who is it?!
Yuwen Sheng's expression froze instantly. Just when everyone thought it was impossible to stop, he abandoned his prey, but moved like a snake, flashing silver light, and had already withdrawn his troops to Zheng Quchi's side.
Why are you back?
——
...He gave up.
Behind Yuwen Sheng, Ju Zi's punch missed, and he stumbled several steps forward. However, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he was overjoyed and even had tears in his eyes.
He couldn't believe that Yuwen Sheng had given up at the last moment. He quickly went over to support Gongshu Jiruo, who was about to lose his balance.
"My lord, are you alright?" he asked, his voice choked with emotion.
It was so close, so very close... If it weren't for that person who suddenly appeared and called out to him, his lord might be...
He just couldn't understand why Yuwen Sheng, the great demon who couldn't even be changed by death, would change his mind instantly because of someone's angry rebuke. Who was this person?
Gongshu Jiruo, bracing himself against the force of the saw, shook his head and said with a forced sigh, "It's alright."
His eyes hadn't left her since she appeared.
On the other side, Zheng Quchi was gripping Yuwen Sheng's arm tightly. Her heart was still aching from beating so fast. The scene that had just flashed into her eyes was simply too exciting.
She saw Yuwen Sheng in front, sword in hand, preparing to stab someone—it was Gongshu Jiruo—while Ju Zi, behind him, with a fierce and desperate expression, slammed his fist down.
If Yuwen Sheng were a normal person, he would know to avoid danger. It's not worth hurting the enemy and losing eight hundred of your own. But he is recklessly determined to kill Gongshu Jiruo first. Is there some great grudge between them that they haven't settled yet?
Doesn't he worry at all that he might fall flat on his face at any moment?
Although she was angry that he was mentally ill, and seriously so, she didn't criticize or scold him at that moment, because at the last moment, when she called out to him, he stopped.
At that moment, not only were others stunned, but even she herself was dumbfounded.
...Since he was being so well-behaved, she decided to pretend she hadn't seen anything.
He asked her, "Why did you come back?"
