Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi's palms tightened.
If everything is their conspiracy, then wouldn't Brother Wei and the others be in danger?
Yuwen Sheng grasped her small hand and gently squeezed it reassuringly: "Just because the Mo family's ship of equipment was hijacked back then, you're all in cahoots now. If one day you get rid of me, this major threat, and then you disagree on how to divide the spoils, will you betray your former allies just like you did with the Ye Kingdom?"
His words sounded like an attempt to sow discord, but undeniably, they were also true. So, both Mo Ye and General Beitang's faces darkened for a moment after hearing them.
However, both of them were also very shrewd and calculating, and they quickly concealed their unnatural expressions.
Mo Ye gave a cold, wicked smile: "You won't be able to see what happens in the future anyway, so you don't need to worry about it. Now... just obediently die."
"Mo Ye, do you know why you always lose to me?"
Mo Ye stared at him coldly.
“You are never as decisive as me. If I were you…” He slowly raised his eyes, his smiling, moon-like eyes flashing with a predatory, bloodthirsty light: “I would act immediately.”
"I was thinking of leaving you a few last words, but if you're in such a hurry to die, then I'll grant your wish."
Yuwen Sheng released Zheng Quchi's hand, put his snow silk gloves back on, and then gripped the sword with his left hand.
Zheng Quchi looked around, then grabbed him and whispered, "Don't move yet. You're injured. Let's stall for time. I'll handle it. Once your reinforcements arrive, we'll go in together."
She believed that Yuwen Sheng must have a backup plan for daring to "knowingly venture into the tiger's den," but now that they were just a few people, isolated and helpless, it was really not advisable to fight to the death.
Yuwen Sheng paused for a moment, then glanced at him, his eyes gentle yet profound, and said, "Qu Chi, do you remember what I said?"
Zheng Quchi was momentarily confused: "What did you say?"
He had said so much before, and now he suddenly wants her to extract one sentence as the key point for a test. She said she has no idea what to do.
"If you feel scared in a moment, close your eyes and cover your ears..." He stroked a strand of hair that had been blown away from her cheek and gently kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid..."
She trembled.
I felt a chill spread from my forehead all the way down to my limbs.
It wasn't because of the comforting words he conveyed through his mask, but because of the overwhelming bloodlust hidden in his words.
He slowly turned his eyes and met Mo Ye's gaze. His eyes curved slightly, but this caused a chill to run through Mo Ye's body.
He lifted his cloak to shield Zheng Quchi's small body in his arms, and with a whoosh, his longsword was drawn, the clanging sound of the sword echoing in his ears.
"Kill! Whoever takes Yuwen Sheng's head first will be promoted and receive a thousand taels of gold!" Mo Ye slowly retreated to the back of the crowd, coldly watching the scene ahead.
His martial arts skills were far inferior to Yuwen Sheng's, so he naturally wouldn't risk going at this time. But no matter how powerful Yuwen Sheng was, he was still just one person, and he couldn't hold out for long.
Seeing their general charge forward single-handedly, the four Xuanjia soldiers shakily climbed onto the carriage. They divided the work, with one man driving the horse and whipping it as they charged into the encirclement.
The Panlong carriage is more than twice the size of a regular carriage. When used as a vehicle, it can carry a lot of people and goods, but when used as a fortress, it can be used to ram with its massive body.
The three climbed onto the roof of the carriage, took out their weapons, and shot at the enemies along the way. When they ran out of arrows, they used spears to stab. In short, they did everything in their power to relieve the pressure on the general.
The air was soon filled with the strong smell of blood, and the whole world seemed to tremble, with mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open.
An unprecedented stench of blood assaulted Zheng Quchi's nostrils, and her hands gripped Yuwen Sheng's clothes tightly.
He moved, and she moved too; his injured arm held her tightly, refusing to let go.
She couldn't see the scene outside clearly; her eyes were covered by a red veil, so everything she saw was red. But she felt that if she tore off the veil, perhaps everything outside would be blood red now as well.
At this moment, Yuwen Sheng was like a butcher. He ruthlessly wielded his sword, and every strike of his sword was imbued with the aura of death. When the slaughter began, nothing was surprising anymore. As soldiers fell into pools of blood, their limbs were torn apart and their torsos were broken, and the blood stained the earth red.
Blood, once again staining his hands, and his pupils changed color.
A voice kept telling him in his head, "Yuwen Sheng, kill! Kill them all! Kill everyone in front of you! You're just a madman!"
"Keep going! I want to see how long Yuwen Sheng can hold out!" General Beitang of Hongsheng Kingdom was also shocked by Yuwen Sheng's fighting prowess. He kept retreating and shouting loudly.
Mo Ye was also extremely shocked.
The people of Nan Chen Kingdom clearly said that his sword-wielding hand had been crippled by Mu Da, greatly reducing his martial prowess, but now it seems that he is truly terrifying when wielding a sword with his left hand.
Yuwen Sheng carried his sword, its shadow flickering like a ghost dancing. He swept past with a whoosh, leaving a trail of wails in his wake. Blood dripped from the blade onto the ground, forming small pools of blood that appeared as a ghastly red in Zheng Quchi's eyes.
“Yuwen Sheng…”
She gritted her teeth and unconsciously called his name softly.
Yuwen Sheng's empty, crimson eyes were filled with a mad, sinister smile. He was enjoying the moment until he heard her voice, at which point he suddenly shuddered.
