Just like back in Fu County, he turned his head to the side and saw an arrow coming. He swung his sword to block it, but he only managed to deflect it. The arrow came from an unexpected direction and tore through the fake skin mask on his face.
The mask broke and fell off his face.
Yuwen Sheng was dressed in the red battle robe of a general from Huxiao Pass. His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, flying like silk. He held a sword in one hand, his skin was as white as snow, and a touch of crimson on his eyelids, like a finishing touch, gave his entire face an extremely malevolent and bewitching appearance.
It was this splash of crimson that blurred the phoenix tears at the corner of his eye, making people overlook their actual existence and think that it was just a speck of blood splattered on his face.
He stared blankly in one direction, all alone among the enemy troops, as if isolated between heaven and earth. His face was so beautiful it was almost demonic, so beautiful it was breathtaking.
Zheng Quchi's arrow wounded him lightly and faintly, but it also successfully drew his attention to her.
Zheng Quchi looked at him with a complex yet determined expression.
Yuwen Sheng stared at her with sharp, icy eyes, as if asking, "Are you going to kill me?"
Zheng Quchi took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and silently uttered a sentence with his lips.
Yuwen Sheng's pupils constricted.

The Southern Chen Kingdom didn't think much of it, assuming that he was exhausted and his internal energy was depleted, so they fought even more fiercely, causing many wounds to him.
Seeing this, Runtu on the slope cried out anxiously, "General—!"
They had long since run out of arrows and were unable to protect the general from harm. Runtu didn't care about anything else, threw down the ten bows, and slid down the steep slope above.
Seeing this, the remaining seven Ye soldiers also rushed down without hesitation, intending to live and die with their general.
Faced with a massive encirclement, Yuwen Sheng was far less valiant than before, while the Southern Chen army pressed forward relentlessly until they saw Yuwen Sheng severely wounded and lying on the ground. Only then did they raise their weapons to his vital points and subdue him.
Even though Runtu had charged downhill with all his might, he still couldn't catch up. Seeing this, he was terrified and cried out, "General—!"
