Chapter 16: Man and horse were cut in two!
In an instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
That is—
Shang Ruyi opened her eyes wide and saw a rider land steadily in front of her.
The dust kicked up spread all around, but she didn't have time to dodge before she saw the man charging forward, holding a long-handled broadsword upside down.
Before the bandit could react, the gleaming blade of the Mo Dao pierced his chest, accompanied by a hissing sound in the wind. With a flick of his long arm, the Mo Dao flashed out from the horse's rear!
Shang Ruyi's eyes widened.
Then a bloodcurdling scream was heard.
"ah--"
The bandit, along with his horse, was sliced in two with a single stroke!
This scene not only shattered both men and horses, but also shattered people's hearts and minds!
The man and horse were torn into several pieces and charged forward for several feet. Blood spread out in the air like a red cloth and then splashed all over the ground with a whoosh!
A few drops of blood even splattered onto Shang Ruyi's face!
The bandits who were originally charging forward were so frightened that they all reined in their horses and stopped just outside the pool of blood.
They were also stunned by what they saw!
The rider stood in the middle of the pool of blood, holding a long sword upside down in one hand. Blood continued to drip from the sharp blade, but his tall figure did not tremble at all. Instead, amidst the heavy smell of blood, he exuded a terrifying and domineering aura!
Although he was just one person with a knife, he stood in front of the bandits as if he were part of a vast army.
The bandits were stunned and dared not rush forward. They looked at each other, and finally, a tall, Hu man who seemed to be the leader rode forward and said in a gloomy tone, "You came very quickly."
"..."
"Yu, Wen, Ye".
The man on horseback remained silent, a few drops of blood still stained his face, adding a sense of oppression to his resolute gaze.
It's Yuwen Ye!
It really is him!
Shang Ruyi had forgotten to breathe, staring only at that tall figure. At this moment, she even forgot to be afraid.
Yuwen Ye glanced coldly at the group and said, "Who's next?"
The bandits all wore sinister expressions.
The young man before them, though alone, treated them as nothing. His arrogant expression and tone made it seem as if they were nothing more than ants under his command, and that he could kill them one by one if he wanted to!
But he has the qualifications!
Just as the bandits hesitated, time gave them no more time to hesitate. A heavy thud of hooves came from ahead, clearly the sound of Yuwen Ye's men, and the sound of hooves followed closely behind them.
Without a doubt, the wedding procession had caught up as well.
They were caught in a pincer movement.
The bandit leader glanced at Yuwen Ye unwillingly, then immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
The group of people scattered on horseback and fled, disappearing from sight in a short while.
Only then did Shang Ruyi regain her breath and let out a long sigh.
We're saved!
For a fleeting moment, she genuinely thought she was going to die.
But before her heartbeat could even calm down, the horse in front of her turned around and slowly walked towards her, step by step, as if stepping on her heartbeat.
Shang Ruyi subconsciously held her breath and slowly raised her head.
Yuwen Ye sat on his horse, looking down at her. His eyes, still almost stained with blood, were indifferent, without a ripple, as calm as if nothing had happened.
"It's you?"
