The gradually low voice faded away in Xu Xingyin's mind, and Lu Xu's eyes became increasingly blurred. His fingers gently slid through Xu Xingyin's hair, and finally fell down helplessly, like the last bit of tenderness taken away by the wind.

"Ayang! Ayang——"

Xu Xingyin suddenly came to his senses at this moment, and he hugged Lu Xu, who had stopped breathing, with all his might, and tears burst out like a flood.

However, the only response she got was dead silence.

At this time, Prince An had slowly recovered. He looked at the collapsed Xu Xingyin and Lu Xu, who was lying dead in her arms, with a grim look in his eyes.

"Since the Crown Princess is so sad, go down and accompany your adulterer! Okay, the game is over, you two can go together..."

Prince An paused deliberately in his hoarse voice, then a hint of strange joy appeared at the corner of his mouth before he spoke word by word.

"Go to hell!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyin slowly loosened her arms around Lu Xu, raised her red eyes and looked at Prince An, her eyes filled with endless anger and grief.

Then she gently put Lu Xu aside and stood up. Although her body was shaking from the bullying, her eyes were as firm as iron.

She casually picked up the soft sword that slipped from Lu Xu's hand. As she moved, the sword flashed a cold light in the air and then pointed directly at Prince An.

"You should be the one going to hell."

Prince An probably didn't expect Xu Xingyin to react like this. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sinisterness and ridicule.

"Okay, then let's see who goes to hell first."

After Prince An finished speaking, he snorted coldly and waved his hand. The guards immediately surrounded him.

"Deposed Crown Princess Xu, who has confused right and wrong, disrupted the execution ground, and injured people with weapons, pass on my order that Xu and other traitors will be killed without mercy!"

Xu Xingyin tightly grasped the soft sword and faced the heavy encirclement with the few remaining guards, refusing to retreat even a single step.

Everyone knows that at this point, there is no way back and the only option is to fight to the death in order to survive.

Xu Xingyin didn't know any martial arts, and he just relied on his anger to fight the enemy. But in the end, he was no match for the well-trained enemy, and his body was covered with many scars from the swordplay.

Prince An's faction had a large number of people and was very powerful. As time passed, the people around Xu Xingyin fell one by one, and there was no one left who could fight alongside him.

As a result, the other party became more arrogant and surrounded Xu Xingyin with a grin.

Prince An seemed to enjoy this "hunting" process, especially the feeling of watching the prey struggling desperately but unable to resist.

He smiled, pulled the reins, rode slowly up to Xu Xingyin on his horse, and spoke condescendingly.

"Xu Xingyin, did you see that? You tried so hard to uphold justice, but in the end, you didn't see any evidence of 'God's will'. So, I, the king, never believe that good will prevail over evil. I only believe that the winners will be victorious, and if you are strong enough, you can make everyone in the world shut up."

Prince An's words were arrogant, but Xu Xingyin just smiled faintly as he listened, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

She stood in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, her clothes had long been stained with blood, her long hair was disheveled and stuck to her forehead, and her pretty face no longer had the usual liveliness, but instead was filled with a resolute and unyielding look.

She still stood there, not taking a single step back, with her back straight like an unshakable monument.

"The villain is not ashamed of being unkind, is not afraid of being unjust, does not advise without benefit, and does not punish without power. But he forgets that the unwise will be happy when they see benefits. Prince An, even if you win today, how can the people be silent because of your power? This blood-stained world will become your eternal nightmare. Power and status are only temporary pleasures. When you lose the hearts of the people, that will be the day you fall into the endless abyss. In the history books, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and be spurned by future generations forever!"

Although Xu Xingyin's voice was low, every word was like a knife, piercing Prince An's heart.

He sneered, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he drew the long sword at his waist and pointed it at Xu Xingyin.

"Now that I have explained the truth, it is time for the righteous and awe-inspiring Deposed Crown Princess to set off."

Xu Xingyin chuckled sarcastically, closed his eyes, and prepared for the final blow.

"Bang--"

However, the expected pain from the sword did not come. Instead, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw that Prince An's sword had been knocked to the ground, and he was also shaken and fell off his horse.

Prince An's group was so shocked by this sudden change that they didn't know what to do. They nervously looked around for defense with their weapons in hand, but suddenly they saw long streaks of light across the sky, piercing the heart of the enemy army accurately.

However, in a moment, the An Wang faction that had surrounded Xu Xingyin fell to the ground one after another.

At the same time, the sound of rolling horse hooves and flying dust were approaching rapidly. Xu Xingyin looked up and saw an elite cavalry team galloping like the wind. The leader was wearing black armor, holding a long sword, and had a calm expression.

Behind him, thousands of elite soldiers followed closely, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant.

Looking at the familiar figure at the front of the team, Xu Xingyin was almost dumbfounded.

It's Jing Zhichen.

The person who she thought was dead appeared in front of her without any warning, like a ray of light illuminating her confusion and despair.

Tears blurred Xu Xingyin's vision, and before he even opened his mouth, his voice was already filled with broken sounds.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."

Jing Zhichen sat on his horse, passing through the battlefield filled with blood and the smell of death, his eyes always fixed on Xu Xingyin.

There were indescribable complex emotions in his eyes, but more of them were firmness and tenderness.

There is no explanation, but everything is implied.

Now is not a good time to explain everything.

They all know.

"Protect the Crown Princess! Kill the traitor!"

Across the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the two men made eye contact and quickly reached a consensus. Then, Jing Zhichen raised his arm and called out, and the soldiers broke through the encirclement of the An Wang faction in an instant with unstoppable force, protecting Xu Xingyin in the middle.

Jing Zhichen rode his horse up to King An and knocked him to the ground with one move. He then pointed the sword at King An's throat, his eyes cold and without a trace of warmth.

"King An only knows how to be brave and aggressive, but forgets that arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

Prince An struggled to get up, but Jing Zhichen's sword pointed directly at his throat, making him unable to move. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but more of it was unwillingness and anger.

"Jing Zhichen, why are you here? Haven't you already..."

Jing Zhichen chuckled, exerted a little force on the tip of the sword, and the sharp blade slowly pierced into the skin.

"What? You thought I was dead? What a pity! I have a very tough life."

"So what? Don't think you can do anything to me while you're still alive. I might as well tell my brother that my army of 10,000 people is stationed outside the execution ground. As far as I know, the East Palace Black Tiger Cavalry has only a thousand people. Facing my army of 10,000 people, it's like hitting a rock with an egg."

When Prince An said this, he sneered arrogantly and said sarcastically.

"Let me go, and I will consider giving you a chance to live. What do you think, brother?"
