In an instant, the entire world seemed to fall silent.
Shang Ruyi widened her eyes, only to see a horseman and steed landing steadily in front of her.
The stirred dust immediately dispersed all around, but she didn’t even have time to evade, watching as the man reversed his grip on a Mo Blade and charged forward.
The bandit on horseback swung his long whip, but before he could react, the gleaming blade of the Mo Blade had already plunged straight into his chest. With a "hiss" sounding in the wind, as the man’s long arm extended, the Mo Blade suddenly flashed out from the horse’s rump!
Shang Ruyi widened her eyes.
Just then came a miserable wail.
The bandit, both man and horse, was sliced in half with a single cut!
This scene, not only shattered the man and horse but also shook the spirit and mind!
One could see the man and horse split into several pieces, rushing forward several yards, the blood unfurling like a red cloth in the air, then splattering onto the ground with a crash!
Even a few drops of blood spattered onto Shang Ruyi’s face!
Those mounted bandits, who initially whistled to charge forward, were all so terrified that they pulled their reins, stopping just outside the blood pool.
They too were shocked by this scene!
Only to see the lone horseman standing in the center of the blood pool, holding the Mo Blade in reverse grip, blood continually slipping down the sharp blade, while his towering silhouette showed not the slightest trace of trembling but rather exuded an aura of overwhelming dominance amidst the thick scent of blood!
Though he was alone, wielding just one blade, at that moment standing in front of the group of bandits, it was as if he was an entire army.
The bandits were stunned, too intimidated to charge forward, exchanging glances with each other until finally, one who seemed to be the leader, a tall barbarian, rode forward and said grimly, "You came quickly."
The man on horseback remained silent, with a few drops of fresh blood on his face, adding a sense of oppressiveness to his resolute gaze.
Shang Ruyi had already forgotten to breathe, just staring at that tall figure, at this moment, she even forgot her fear.
Yu Wenye glanced coldly at those people, then said, "Who’s next?"
The faces of the horse bandits all showed a cruel expression.
This young man before them, though alone, viewed them as insignificant. His arrogant demeanor and tone suggested that they were nothing more than ants in his eyes, that if he wished, he could kill them all, one by one!
But, he had that kind of qualification!
While those bandits hesitated, time had already run out for their indecision, with the sound of heavy hoofbeats approaching from the front, clearly Yu Wenye’s reinforcements, and behind them followed the sound of more hoofbeats.
Without asking, it must be the bridal escort team catching up.
They found themselves caught in a pincer attack.
The leader of the bandits unwillingly glanced at Yu Wenye, then immediately raised his hand: "Quick, retreat!"
These men dispersed in all directions, galloping away, disappearing in an instant.
It was only then that Shang Ruyi seemed to regain her breath and let out a long sigh.
For a moment there, she really thought she was doomed.
But just as her heartbeat hadn’t yet calmed, the hooves in front changed direction, slowly approaching her, each step seeming to echo her own heartbeat.
Shang Ruyi instinctively held her breath, slowly raising her head.
Yu Wenye sat mounted on his horse, looking down at her, his eyes almost still carrying the scent of blood, yet so indifferent that they showed not the slightest ripple, so calm as if nothing had happened.
