Anbian Moye was hit by Zheng Quchi's arrow and was seriously injured, so he was no longer able to command the battlefield.
He never dreamed that this time, instead of being injured by Yuwen Sheng, he almost lost to Zheng Quchi, whom he least expected.
Looking back now, those two arrows were clearly aimed at killing him.
She's right. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to breathe now.
Mo Ye chuckled softly, recalling her cold and ruthless demeanor when she shot the arrow.
His face was as white as paper, and blood was gushing from his wounds, staining his clothes red. But he paid no attention to his injuries and clenched his fists, pounding the ground with all his might.
“Zheng, Qu, Chi, Zheng, Qu, Chi… You are such a Zheng Qu Chi!”
It felt like he'd spent his whole life playing with eagles, only to have one of his eyes pecked out by the eagle – he'd underestimated her.
After the soldiers helped Mo Ye, who had been shot by an arrow, off his horse, they began to treat his wound urgently. When they saw that he suddenly became emotionally unstable and vented his anger despite his chest injury, they rushed forward to stop him.
"Sima, calm down, you'll only make the wound worse if you keep going like this..."
"Quickly, capture Sima!"
Mo Ye sat on the ground, taking deep breaths. He looked down at the arrow in his chest; the fletching was broken off, but the arrowhead was deeply embedded in his flesh.
He was in excruciating pain, his whole body was ice-cold, and he was sweating profusely, but more than any of that, because of the frustration in his heart, he wanted to go crazy.
"The only person I ever misjudged in my entire life was Zheng Quchi..."
Old grudges and new hatreds surged into his heart, turning into a raging fire. But because his emotions were too intense, his blood boiled and surged, and the bleeding from his wound could not be stopped.
"We can't pull out the arrow yet, let's—"
"Sima!"
After losing too much blood, Mo Ye finally collapsed and fainted. Meanwhile, General Beitang of Hongsheng Kingdom was nowhere to be found. The others had no choice but to disembark and enter the river to continue the pursuit.
However, the presence of oil-filled rivers and billowing smoke created difficulties for their pursuit.
As Zheng Quchi's boat was gradually pushed away from the encircling fire, the guards below finally had a chance to stick their heads out, took a deep breath, and pushed the boat away from the shore.
This also means that Zheng Quchi is getting further and further away from Yuwen Sheng.
"Yuwen Sheng—"
She stood at the bow of the boat and called out to him loudly.
However, Yuwen Sheng neither turned around nor responded to her.
She didn't know if he had heard her or not.
But in this bloodthirsty slaughter, no ship could catch up. With a gentle silence like the night, he built an unbreakable shield for her with an exit piled with blood and corpses.
Her gaze remained fixed on him, her heart filled with horror, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
He destroyed everything, slaughtered everyone, just to protect her... but what about himself?
Doesn't he care what will happen to him?
Yuwen Sheng destroyed many of the dozens of ships, and the smoke from the oil obstructed their vision, making it impossible for them to launch a coordinated attack. For a time, they were at a loss as to what to do with him.
Then another group of mysterious people suddenly appeared on the shore. They were wearing wide blue cloaks, hiding their heads and tails, and then lined up in a row and took out their most lethal weapon - the steel slug machine.
This is a shooting technique that has never been passed down to the world. When they are first shot, they are a large bundle of arrows, but they open in mid-air and become sharp talons like those of an eagle or owl. Once hooked, they will pierce the flesh of the prey and make it difficult to get rid of.
Their target was undoubtedly Yuwen Sheng. Waiting for the best opportunity, they aimed and fired. More than a dozen "steel-screw guns" scattered across the sky above the river. Some of them missed each other, but some ended up on Yuwen Sheng's shoulders, back, and thighs.
These claws were far sharper and more pointed than the hooks a butcher uses to hang meat. As soon as they touched flesh, they clung tightly, sucked in, and gripped it. Yuwen Sheng staggered and was thrown from a great height onto a ship.
Zheng Quchi gazed at the river, where billowing black smoke obscured everything. She only saw him seemingly being grabbed by something, and then he fell from a great height.
"Yuwen Sheng—"
But soon he stood up again, but the mysterious men in blue cloaks on the shore grabbed the "steel jack" and dragged him backward, restricting his movement and leaving him at their mercy.
He tried to cut the traction chain of the "steel shovel machine" with his sword, but it was made of steel and was very hard. It was not so easy to cut it, especially since his injured right arm could not bear much force. Relying solely on the strength of his left arm, his strength would be greatly reduced if he lost his balance.
"Yuwen Sheng is trapped. All soldiers, listen to my command: kill him at all costs."
People on the surrounding boats steered closer, leaping aboard and immediately charging at him with swords and knives. The man behind the mask swept away the enemies in front and behind him with his sword, then leaped into the air. The people on the shore continued to exert even more force, preventing him from escaping...
"Shoot them!"
"shoot--"
Upon receiving the order, all the archers on the ship, on the shore, and at the ferry received their command. Their eyes sharpened, and they sharpened their swords, ready to unleash a barrage of arrows in an instant. The man hoisted high was struck down like a target in the blink of an eye.
Thump—
In Zheng Quchi's wide-eyed gaze, he saw his body, broken and mangled, fall into the cold, damp river, staining it crimson with blood...
Amidst a river of crimson blood, a single, shimmering, clear ribbon of water remained, extending far onto the river's surface, creating a vast expanse of rippling light.
