Qi Guze's swordsmanship flowed continuously like water, while Bei Ye's power was as fierce as a storm.
For a time, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.
Xu Yuehuai watched the battle from the sidelines, feeling increasingly uneasy.
She noticed a glint of madness in Bei Ye's eyes, which made her extremely uneasy. She knew that this duel was no longer a simple contest, but a battle for survival.
On this dusty battlefield, the duel between Qi Guze and Bei Ye has reached its final stage.
Despite Qi Guze's superb swordsmanship, the outcome remained uncertain due to Bei Ye's tenacious resistance.
The two figures moved swiftly across the battlefield, their sword energy crisscrossing, each clash sparking a shower of fire.
However, just when everyone thought the duel would continue, Qi Guze suddenly let out a cold shout, and his long sword turned into a streak of light, directly piercing through Bei Ye's chest!
"Pfft—!"
Bei Ye stared wide-eyed at Qi Guze in disbelief, then collapsed limply onto the grass, his clothes stained with blood.
"You lost," Qi Guze said calmly, his eyes showing no trace of triumph or elation, only a deep sense of helplessness and exhaustion.
At this moment, Xu Yuehuai was engaged in fierce battle with the soldiers of the Mingyue Kingdom. When she saw Bei Ye reveal a strange expression, a look of fear flashed in her eyes: "Oh no, Aze, come back quickly!"
However, before she could finish speaking, Bei Ye secretly detonated the explosives hidden on his body with saltpeter!
"Boom—!"
Bei Ye took one last reluctant look at Xu Yuehuai, a hint of relief in his expression.
The moment the explosion occurred, the entire battlefield was engulfed in flames and thick smoke.
Xu Yuehuai wanted to rush over to save Qi Guze, but the smoke in front of her prevented her from seeing what was happening ahead.
A wave of despair washed over her. She knew that if Qi Guze couldn't escape in time, he would perish in the explosion along with Bei Ye.
However, just as she was about to despair, a figure suddenly rushed out of the smoke.
It's Qi Guze!
Although he was covered in blood and dust, he did not appear to have suffered any fatal injuries.
He shouted at Xu Yuehuai, "Run!"
Then he used his lightness skill to try to get away from the center of the explosion.
But at that moment, a dark figure suddenly flew out from the aftershocks of the explosion and rushed straight at Qi Guze.
It's Bei Ye!
In his final moments, he used his own body to block Qi Guze's path.
Xu Yuehuai was stunned; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Qi Guze was also stunned, never expecting Bei Ye to be so crazy as to risk his own life to kill him.
Qi Guze forcefully shook off Bei Ye, but the fire on his body caught fire on him!
Xu Yuehuai watched from a distance and was terrified to see Qi Guze completely engulfed in flames.
"Aze—!"
Qi Guze shouted, "Yan Qing, take her away!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing could only suppress his grief and immediately pulled Xu Yuehuai away from the explosion site.
Qi Guze was relieved and quickly took off his burning clothes. He then stabbed Bei Ye, who was vomiting blood and convulsing on the ground, to prevent him from doing anything else troublesome.
"Having committed numerous evils, you may leave now!"
Bei Ye's eyes were filled with resentment, but he was powerless to resist. Another sword struck his chest, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, losing all life...
Qi Guze suddenly collapsed.
The surrounding area was engulfed in flames, and soldiers from the Mingyue Kingdom, the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Dongsang Kingdom suffered casualties.
When the people of the Dark Moon Kingdom saw that Bei Ye was dead, they were so frightened that they immediately retreated and left the battlefield.
Xu Yuehuai was pulled away from the battlefield by Yan Qing, but her heart was filled with worry.
She desperately wanted to go back to the explosion site to find Qi Guze, but Yan Qing held her arm tightly, preventing her from going back.
"Don't worry, I will send someone back to find our master," Yan Qing said, his voice full of reassurance.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head. "I want to go back to him. I want to go in person."
Looking into her resolute eyes, Yan Qing knew he couldn't persuade her, so he made a decision. He knocked Xu Yuehuai unconscious with a single blow and handed her over to the Ghost Doctor standing nearby.
"Support her, and when she wakes up, make sure she doesn't go over there," Yan Qing instructed.
The Ghost Doctor nodded and helped Xu Yuehuai up.
Yan Qing, along with the other guards, quickly returned to the explosion site.
The battlefield was now shrouded in flames and smoke, with corpses scattered across the burning grasslands and a strong smell of burning filling the air.
Yan Qing led the guards in a search for Qi Guze.
"You two, go take a look over there," Yan Qing said, pointing to a patch of grass not far away.
The two guards immediately ran over and bent down to search carefully.
However, the fire was still burning, and they had difficulty finding Qi Guze.
Suddenly, a torrential downpour extinguished all the flames and smoke.
Yan Qing looked up at the sky, feeling deeply moved. "This rain came at just the right time."
"This is wonderful!"
"It seems our master is not destined to die!"
"It must be Heaven's favor upon our master!"
...
The guards were also amazed by the incredible power of nature.
"Hurry up and keep searching!" Yan Qing waved to the guards around him.
"yes--!"
The guards then dispersed and searched for Qi Guze's possible location.
They searched almost every corpse on the battlefield, and after a long time...
Suddenly, one of them shouted, "Found it! It's here!"
Yan Qing hurried over and saw a man lying in the grass, covered in wounds. It was Qi Guze.
His face was covered in dust and blood, and his body was covered in burns and wounds.
"Quickly! Lift Master up!" Yan Qing commanded. "Be very careful not to touch his wounds!"
Several guards immediately lifted Qi Guze up, and they quickly left the burning grassland.
They continued onward and finally arrived at a safe place, returning to the temporary encampment where the main force was located.
Yan Qing hurriedly ordered the guards to place Qi Guze on the ground, which was covered with a layer of clothes, and they began to treat his wounds.
"You guys go and look around for any herbs," Yan Qing instructed.
Several guards immediately ran off, searching everywhere for herbs that could be used to treat Qi Guze.
Eventually, they found some herbs with anti-inflammatory and hemostatic properties.
"Quickly! Apply these herbs to his wounds," Yan Qing commanded.
Amidst the chaos, the guards hurriedly applied herbs to Qi Guze's wounds. Their movements were skilled and swift, as if they had undergone countless rehearsals, each action filled with determination and decisiveness.
Herbs were quickly applied to the wound; their familiar green color, like the breath of spring, brought a touch of life to the tense space.
After the herbal medicine was applied, the guards nervously observed Qi Guze's reaction.
