Amidst the deafening sounds of battle, Yu Wenye’s face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot, watching these soldiers encircle him like a pack of hyenas smelling blood, as they probed, ready to attack. The Fiery Warhorse beneath him was also startled by the surrounding murderous aura, shaking its head and snorting, letting out a low, angry roar.

Yu Wenye’s expression stiffened as he suddenly yanked the reins!

The Fiery Warhorse beneath him jerked, rearing up with a long shriek, its flying forehooves heavily stomping forward. The soldier at the forefront couldn’t dodge, his chest caved in as if it were tofu, the entire person couldn’t even utter a sound before collapsing into a heap!

The first person fell, and those behind immediately sensed something was wrong, all stopped in their tracks. Yet the ones charging up hadn’t had time to react when a soldier swung the broken stick in his hand towards Yu Wenye, smashing down viciously. Yu Wenye’s eyes narrowed, with the Fiery Warhorse rearing and landing heavily as he swiftly struck with his blade!

Only to hear a loud boom, as the hooves stomped heavily on the ground, stirring up blood-stained dust.

At the same time, the soldier at the forefront let out a shrill scream, then fell backwards.

People around instinctively stopped, unable to dodge, were drenched head-to-toe by a sudden blood rain. The soldier’s face and forehead, down to his chest, was slashed open with a single blade; still clutching the remaining stick, it was split in half, collapsing dejectedly to the ground.

The rest were instantly terrified beyond their wits by the brutal scene, crying out as they scattered!

As they retreated, those behind Yu Wenye followed, swiftly slaying the remaining soldiers from horseback. Meanwhile, Yu Wenye gritted his teeth, bearing the intense pain in his shoulder, he leaned down, grabbing Wo Xue’s collar, pulling her up onto his horse.

Wo Xue’s eyes were already red, tears streaming down her face. As the cloth in her mouth was pulled away, she immediately shouted, "Your Highness—"

Yu Wenye said, "Where is she!?"

Wo Xue felt guilt and panic, she had just watched the soldiers ambushing around her raise their spears at Yu Wenye and couldn’t utter a warning. At this moment, blood was still gushing from Yu Wenye’s wounded shoulder, she felt useless and hated Xiao Yuansui’s cunning. Hearing Yu Wenye’s question, she hurriedly wiped her tears and snot, "Princess was taken by Xiao Yuansui!"

"What!?"

"He left me here just to ambush you! The Princess is now at—"

As she spoke, she turned her head, her gaze passing over the chaotic, smoke-filled camp, looking towards the Central Army Tent at the front.

At that moment, bright lights were on.

Following her gaze, Yu Wenye’s sharp eyes also looked at the calm and bright tent. As the camp was in chaos, it was orderly, like a sage watching the wild chaos. Then, a tall figure slowly walked out of the tent.

In the darkness, under the flickering firelight, the robust silhouette was unmistakably Xiao Yuansui!

Even at a distance, Yu Wenye saw him clearly, it was as though he could see Xiao Yuansui’s calm yet sharp gaze, unsurprised by everything unfolding, his eyes seemed prepared, sweeping over the chaotic camp, he aimed directly at Yu Wenye on horseback.

Their gazes met, as if sparks ignited in the air.

In that instant, Yu Wenye saw behind Xiao Yuansui, a slender figure staggering, then it was quickly obscured by the tent’s flap, no longer visible!

"Ru Yi!"

At that moment, Yu Wenye’s eyes turned blood red.

Just then, there were cries of alarm from his personal soldiers behind him, "Your Highness, go quickly!"

Yu Wenye turned to look, as the surrounding soldiers gradually closed in on them.

The tent where Wo Xue was, was deep within the camp; they had fought to this point, exhausted with heavy losses, unaware Xiao Yuansui had planned ahead using Wo Xue for the ambush. Now having rescued her, they were nearly out of options.

Otherwise, there would be no escape!

Two personal soldiers watched as enemy troops closed in from both sides, hurriedly swinging their swords, swiftly decapitating several heads. Meanwhile, in front, the flames flickered with the cries of horses; soldiers had donned armor, mounted, and were charging towards them.

Yu Wenye gripped the Mo Blade tightly with one hand, blood from his shoulder flowed down, soaking the hilt, making it hard to grip steadily.

But, no, they cannot fail!

Yu Wenye clamped his steel teeth, again spurred his horse forward, the Mo Blade gleaming like lightning. Amidst thrusts and stabs, several were knocked off, just as he aimed for the Central Army Tent, several soldiers emerged from either side, trying to halt his advance with ropes, Yu Wenye prepared to swing his blade, but a sharp pain in his shoulder delayed the swing.

Seeing the Fiery Warhorse about to be ensnared by the ropes, at that moment, a rope flew from behind, striking one soldier’s face heavily, with a scream, he clutched his face, bleeding from his fingers, writhing in pain on the ground!

Yu Wenye turned to see Wo Xue grasping the rope tightly, her eyes bloodshot, staring ahead—in pulling her on the horse, he not only tore away the cloth gag but also cut free her bindings, Wo Xue didn’t discard the rope but held it firmly, seeing where Yu Wenye’s blade couldn’t reach, she acted instantly, now the rope whipped through the crowd like a serpent, striking soldiers sequentially, leaving them writhing painfully.

The Fiery Warhorse leapt, stepping over the narrow path.

Yu Wenye breathed a sigh of relief—he had known this girl’s skills, thus keeping her by Shang Ruyi’s side to protect her in such times, yet didn’t expect Xiao Yuansui to exploit her!

After repelling several assailants, Wo Xue spoke resolutely, "Your Highness, I won’t be a burden!"

As she spoke, Yu Wenye lifted his head, seeing several guards lead a horse before the Central Army Tent, the tall figure mounted it, took a long blade from a guard, waved it, and soldiers behind surged forward.

"Kill!"

With a shout from Xiao Yuansui, they charged towards Yu Wenye!
