At this time, a group of Jing soldiers ran over with weapons in hand to meet the rebels. The two sides fought each other and stopped the rebels from attacking the palace.

"All troops, attack! Do not hurt innocent civilians!"

Tan Tai Ming Lang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that a young general had arrived with his troops, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Ye Qingyu was still defending the capital of Jing State.

Tan Tai Minglang had some impression of Ye Qingyu, a famous young general at the border. It would be hard for him not to know him.

Tan Tai Jin actually subdued Ye Qingyu and brought him under his command. No wonder he went to the southern border to attack the poison fort with peace of mind.

Ye Qingyu's move disrupted Tan Tai Minglang's plan. He was already angry, and when he saw a soldier holding a sword to kill him, he immediately became more furious and drew his sword, killing the soldier who wanted to kill him with one strike.

Pianran and Fu Yu had already landed on the roof from the air.

With the wide field of vision, he suddenly caught sight of Ye Qingyu, who was wearing black armor, in the crowd.

The rebels were at a disadvantage with Ye Qingyu's arrival.

Fu Yu retreated to create some distance, then gathered his strength to cast a spell towards Ye Qingyu on the ground.

Just when it was about to hit, Pianran teleported over and raised his hand to block the attack.

When the first attack failed, the two men knocked each other onto the city wall.

This fox blocked her attacks again and again, allowing the Jing army to react and provide support. It was really a thorn in her side, so she quickly raised her hand, made a gesture, and condensed a formation to cover Pianran.

She folded her hands calmly in front of her chest, palms facing each other as she concentrated on her energy. The demon pattern on her forehead glowed red, revealing her allure; she looked at the talisman jade above the city wall with cold and charming eyes.

"You really want to play with me, right?"

As he spoke, he suddenly spread his arms and shook off the runes surrounding his body. The demonic power that shook off the formation also backfired on Fu Yu, and Fu Yu was knocked away on the spot. His body flew backwards, hit the wooden door, and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Uh!"

He supported himself with his arms and looked towards Pianran at the door.

Pianran's demonic power was fully unleashed, and seven fox tails appeared behind him. His nails turned into claws, and he appeared in front of Fu Yu the next second, opening his claws to scratch her face.

Fu Yu quickly moved back to avoid it, teleported above the street, and Pianran chased after him and teleported in front of her. The two of them fought each other back and forth.

Tan Tai Ming Lang, who heard the noise on the street, turned around and looked up into the sky. Seeing that Fu Yu was no match for him, he shouted an order.

"Monster hunting crossbow!"

The curtain covering the truck was forcefully pulled open by two rebels, revealing what was inside.

A giant crossbow, completely black, was mounted on the car.

Tan Tai Ming Lang flew to the car, put the bloody knife in his hand aside, reached out to grasp the crossbow, and mobilized the demonic power in his body.

As the demonic power flowed to the crossbow, the purple demonic power gathered along the crossbow and formed a purple crossbow arrow, aiming at Pianran who was fighting with Fu Yu in the sky.

The demonic power was drawn out of the body and gathered on the crossbow arrow. Tan Tai Minglang's masked face was covered with black lines.

The pain from the demonic power eroding his body caused blood to flow out of Tan Tai Minglang's mouth.

Before the crossbow arrow could replenish its magical power, Fu Yu was knocked down into the air by a blow.

Feeling that his life was nearing the end, Fu Yu turned his head to look in the direction of Tan Tai Minglang, gave him the last smile of his life, then closed his eyes forever and fell to the ground.

Watching Fu Yu die in front of him, Tan Tai Minglang let out a cry of grief.

"Talisman Jade——"

After Ye Qingyu killed the two rebels, he saw Tan Tai Minglang in front of him controlling the crossbow and aiming at Pianran who was falling on the city wall.

His brain went blank for a moment, and his body rushed out before his brain did. He stepped onto a wooden box on the street, used the force to fly into the air to block Pianran behind him, and grabbed the crossbow with his bare hands.

However, the crossbow arrow condensed by all of Tan Tai Ming Lang's demonic power is not so easy to stop.

The crossbow arrow pierced through the left side of the chest, shot through the heart, and flew straight through the back. Ye Qingyu was pierced through with a bloody hole.

With a "puff" sound, blood spurted out, and a few drops of blood splashed on Ye Qingyu's fair and handsome cheeks.

What Pianran saw when she turned around was a scene that made her pupils shrink suddenly.

"Ye Qingyu?!"

He flew over and caught Ye Qingyu on the ground, holding his weak body and half-crouching down.

Tan Tai Minglang ignored Pianran and Ye Qingyu. In his opinion, Tan Tai Jin was his main target and everyone else was just unimportant stumbling blocks.

Previously, the demon-hunting crossbow was specially prepared because Pianran had been trying every means to prevent the rebels from entering the city.

Since she doesn't care about the city gate at this time, forget it.

Tan Tai Ming Lang led the rebels straight into the palace, and Pian Ran took Ye Qing Yu to a remote place and sat down.

Although Tan Tai Ming Lang didn't care about them, there was no guarantee that he would suddenly make a surprise attack, so to be on the safe side, Pian Ran found a place where it was not easy to be discovered.

He held Ye Qingyu's face with both hands, looking panicked.

Because so much blood had flowed, a few drops of blood appeared on Pianran's cheeks, making her look more charming and seductive.

"Ye Qingyu!"

"Ye Qingyu!!"

After shouting a few times in panic, his eyes fixed on the bloody hole in Ye Qingyu's chest. He put his hand over it, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

Unfortunately, it was in vain. Blood flowed out from between her fingers, staining her palms and her red sleeves red.

"Pianran... look at me... I have something to say to you."

Ye Qingyu's words were intermittent, as if he was about to collapse, but he was still trying hard to speak.

"Ye has failed his country in his life... and now he is dying to protect innocent people and his loved ones..."

After a pause, he continued.

"It can be considered a worthy death..."

Pianran couldn't bear to hear these words and retorted.

"What are you talking about? You won't die. I won't let you die!!"

She shouted excitedly, as if this could hide her inner panic and powerlessness.

Ye Qingyu's eyes were half closed, his breath was getting weaker, and his body was about to fall unconsciously. Pianran was quick to grab his shoulders and steady him.

"Ye Qingyu!" Remind him to stay alert and not sleep.

I stayed awake listening to her words, and my voice became hoarse.

"I originally thought... that I would never be able to surpass Jiang Rao..."

He raised his half-closed eyelids and looked at the beauty in front of him.

"Because he is dead... He will be engraved in your heart forever..."

"I didn't expect that... now I also..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Qingyu closed his eyes again, which frightened Pianran so much that she slapped his face and shouted.

"Ye Qingyu!"

Seeing Ye Qingyu open his eyes, he answered what he had just said.

"You are not Jiang Rao, and you will never be Jiang Rao. You are Ye Qingyu!"

After saying that, she hugged him and rested her chin on his shoulder naturally.

Ye Qingyu leaned his bloody chin on Pianran's shoulder. Pianran loved beauty, and he couldn't dirty her clothes, so he said regretfully.

"If only I could have met you earlier..."

Pianran's eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, which slid down her cheeks and fell drop by drop onto Ye Qingyu's armor.

"I would be able to fall in love with you sooner... and pamper you..." He propped himself up, looked into Pianran's tearful eyes, and asked with deep affection and expectation.

"Pianran... Monsters have a long lifespan... In a few hundred years... will you still remember me..."

Pianran couldn't help but get angry. His life was almost gone, and he was still thinking about these nonsense.

"You bastard!"

"If you dare to die, I will forget you completely!"

I thought that my threatening words would make Ye Qingyu jealous, but unexpectedly, he even laughed.

"Forget me... don't be sad for me..."

Using the last bit of his strength, he raised his hand and tucked his flowing bangs behind his ears.

"The fun is over... Let's go home together..."

"From now on, my heart... will be free of dust..."

"It's a pity...we...can't return together..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big hand that was pressing against Pianran's cheek suddenly dropped to the side of his legs, his eyes closed lifelessly, and his head tilted weakly to one side.

Pianran was terrified and shouted his name loudly.

"Ye Qingyu!"

“Ye Qingyu——!!”

"Ye Qingyu!!"

"Ye Qingyu..."

After shouting several times without getting any response from the person in front of him, he made up his mind.

"Ye Qingyu...you fool, do you think I will fall into the same trap twice?"

"Losing Jiang Rao once made me feel so miserable that I wanted to die. I can't lose you again."

Just when Pianran was about to sacrifice her lifelong cultivation, I forcefully dragged Jiye out onto the stage.

He took one look at Ye Qingyu who had just died, and then his gaze moved to the thick layer of blood at the corner of his mouth. It was too horrible to look at. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he said to someone with an indifferent expression beside him.

"Hurry, he has just lost all signs of life. As long as you gather his soul by force and then heal his fatal wound, he will be able to survive."
