"What about my sister?"
"Everyone has their own fate! She must take responsibility for her actions!"
Su Yang was not surprised by Nangong Weiyang's actions.
This kind of backbone was what one would expect from a disciple of Shi Wuzun.
"Rumble!"
In the chaotic battle ahead, people on both sides fell one after another.
Although it was cold steel, the battle formations were no less impressive than firearms.
Yuan Kui raised his shield with his left hand and swung his great saber with his right, slashing at Shangguan Mingtai.
Shangguan Mingtai's movements were graceful and appeared effortless.
Su Yang's brows furrowed even tighter. If this continued, all his subordinates would be lost here.
"Eh! My sister's people are here."
Nangong Yuting stopped crying. The three hundred people brought by Nangong Weiyang earlier had arrived, though it was unclear when.
Without hesitation, the three hundred charged into the fray and joined the battle.
"That's great, with these people, my sister will be much safer."
Su Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of how strong these three hundred were, they could at least share some of the pressure.
In fact, the Dragon Blood Legion's pressure also eased significantly at this moment.
The Dragon Blood Legion, which had been on the defensive, now began to counterattack.
Shangguan Mingtai's expression turned serious. He called out to a few subordinates to hold Yuan Kui.
As for himself, he wielded his long sword like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing a swath of people with each swing.
"Mr. Su, Shangguan Mingtai is the leader. If no one can hold him back, the people my sister brought will not be able to withstand it."
Nangong Yuting was frantic. The leader of the Night Owl team was too powerful, and with no one to match him, it was simply a massacre.
"Don't worry!"
Su Yang used his千里眼 (Thousand-Mile Eye). He saw someone watching the show from a distance.
The person in the lead was Shangguan Qianji.
This brat had hidden himself well, planning to wait until both sides were weakened before swooping in for the kill.
How insidious!
Su Yang took out his phone and immediately called Shangguan Qianji.
"Brother Su?"
"Brother Shangguan, stop watching the show. Otherwise, if all my people die, you'll be next."
"Hahaha, I don't know what Brother Su is talking about. I'm still at home!"
"Stop pretending. I can hear the fighting from your side. Hurry up and provide support. Your little lover, Nangong Weiyang, is about to die."
"Damn it! I'm coming right now!"
Shangguan Qianji knew he had been discovered by Su Yang, so he stopped hiding and rushed down the mountain with his subordinates.
Su Yang smiled. If Shangguan Qianji wanted to rise to power, he couldn't do it without shedding some blood.
Moreover, this brat had designs on Nangong Weiyang, so he would help for both personal and public reasons.
Shangguan Mingtai, who was in the midst of killing, saw more enemies charging towards him and his expression turned grim.
When he saw that the newcomers were Shangguan Qianji, he became even more enraged.
"Qianji, do you know what you are doing?"
"Uncle Mingtai, I'm just helping a friend. Why don't you pack up and leave?"
"Nonsense! I'm under orders from the family head to capture Su Yang alive before I can return. You expect me to leave now?"
"Then I must help Brother Su even more."
After saying that, Shangguan Qianji raised his pistol and began firing at the members of the Night Owl team.
Before a few Night Owl members could react, they fell into a pool of blood.
To their death, they couldn't understand why their own people were attacking them.
"Bastard!"
Shangguan Mingtai was furious. Every member of the Night Owl team was a top-tier fighter, chosen from a thousand.
They died not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own kin.
"Uncle Mingtai, don't be angry. My pistol accidentally misfired. I'll be more careful next time!"
As soon as Shangguan Qianji finished speaking, he killed another person.
Shangguan Mingtai was enraged. "You illegitimate son, colluding with the enemy! The family head will not blame me for killing you!"
With that, Shangguan Mingtai broke free from his opponent and charged towards Shangguan Qianji.
"Damn it! What's wrong with me being an illegitimate son? Am I eating your food?"
Shangguan Qianji roared, leading his men to attack Shangguan Mingtai.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Shangguan Mingtai swung his long sword, killing two people on the spot.
Shangguan Qianji caught the great saber and swept it horizontally, while his men provided support around him.
Sparks flew where the saber and sword clashed, the piercing sound making ears ache.
Shangguan Qianji gripped the great saber with both hands and hacked wildly, disrupting Shangguan Mingtai's rhythm.
Su Yang was stunned. "This brat, I didn't realize he had such skill!"
"The Shangguan family has stood for a thousand years, and they are prosperous. The scholarly and martial factions have been passed down through generations. It's normal for Shangguan Qianji to have practiced martial arts."
Nangong Yuting nodded. Shangguan Qianji, who usually appeared polite, became somewhat frenzied when angered.
"Forget it, I'll go help. Otherwise, if this drags on, there might be more reinforcements."
Su Yang picked up a weapon, circled around the rear, and launched a surprise attack on Shangguan Mingtai.
"Heh, another one coming to die!"
Shangguan Mingtai turned his head and swung his sword, knocking away Su Yang's weapon.
After shaking off Su Yang, Shangguan Mingtai ferociously attacked Shangguan Qianji.
How could he let a traitorous illegitimate son live?
This would be a stain on the Shangguan family!
Shangguan Qianji couldn't parry and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
His bodyguards were also all cut down by Shangguan Mingtai.
"Useless! Die!"
Shangguan Mingtai's eyes gleamed with ferocity as he thrust his long sword directly at Shangguan Qianji's forehead.
Shangguan Qianji had nowhere to escape and could only raise his great saber to block.
The next moment.
His great saber snapped, and the long sword slashed across his chest, tearing away a large piece of flesh.
"Ah..."
Shangguan Qianji cried out in pain, falling backward onto the ground, his clothes stained with blood.
"Useless! You dare to covet Young Master Yi's position? Die!"
Shangguan Mingtai raised his sword again, delivering the final blow to Shangguan Qianji.
At this moment, Su Yang moved, his great saber making a swift horizontal cut.
Shangguan Mingtai sensed it and, as he turned, was struck by the great saber, his waist directly cleaved in two.
A few seconds later.
Shangguan Mingtai spat out blood, a long gash opening in his waist, blood spraying out like a fountain.
"You... you attacked from behind..."
Before Shangguan Mingtai could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Su Yang knelt down. "Brother Shangguan, how are you?"
"Not dead yet. Where is Weiyang?"
Su Yang looked around and saw Nangong Weiyang lying in a pool of blood, her small body covered in sword and saber wounds.
"She's dead."
"Dead?"
Shangguan Qianji's face turned even paler. "She once said that once she became the commander of the Zhenguo Army, she would marry me if I became the family head. How could she leave like this?"
Su Yang sighed. Nangong Weiyang was not inherently evil, just too driven, focusing solely on ascending to power.
To inherit the position of the Zhenguo Army commander, she was willing to snatch the heavily injured and unconscious Shi Wuzun.
Now that she was dead, it was indeed lamentable. The end of power was destruction.
"Sister, sob sob sob, how could you heartlessly abandon us..."
Nangong Yuting and her twin embraced their sister's corpse and wept bitterly. This time, they were truly the auspicious twins.
The chaotic battlefield did not stop with someone's death. The various factions were still fighting.
"Cough cough, Brother Su, hurry up and kill all the Night Owl members, or I'll be in trouble..."
