I am by your side.

The vast land was engulfed in swirling dust, as two figures raced forward on the vast battlefield, amidst the soldiers lying in disarray.

The figure below was a large dog, with a girl sitting on its back, who had just regained her sense of self. Despite multiple orders from her leader, the loyal dog chose to disobey, out of loyalty.

Even though her memories were hazy, as a girl led astray by the demonic tribe, the girl named Cai still came to this place out of concern. With her clothes stained red and wielding a silver cross sword that glowed like flowing light, she sat firmly on her mount, racing towards the place she had decided on.

Only one silver light flickered, while countless sharp blades stood before the edge of the sword. The two different-colored lights represented the night and day, like the polar opposites of the evening and morning sun. When the two lights intertwined, the fleeting figure, like falling petals, entered the scene and caused the two lights to flow.

As the entangled blades collided, they rose up like a hurricane, tearing open a winding path. With the advantage of agility and the sharpness of the three-foot long sword in her hand, Cai leaped deep into the heart of the battlefield, charging forward without hesitation.

The situation of the war had indeed changed. What had pleased Yu the most was that Wang, isolated and alone, was standing against the entire army. Originally, Yu thought that there would be no one to help Wang, the stubborn opponent...

The similar certainty between the two was shattered in the previous moment, giving rise to a strong echo in their hearts. Wang's eyes widened. The chaotic pupils had no focus, seemingly penetrating through the rows of people in front of him, through the dancing dust, and catching sight of a familiar figure in the distance.

"Why did you come... I hoped you would stay far away, you fool. Why did you come back?" Due to the distance, Wang wasn't sure if his yelling could spread far enough to reach Cai's ears. But in order to let her hear these words, his figure, which had been half fallen on the ground, quickly stood up, with his wet back covered in bloodstains.

As if the horrifying wounds on his body were fake, Wang rushed forward with his sword, his footsteps not fast but deeply rooted with each stride. The soldiers, who had been drawn by Cai's sudden appearance and attracted most of their attention, suddenly noticed Wang's reaction.

The prey, which had been weak moments ago, now stood up. How could the soldiers allow such a thing to happen? A small group immediately separated from the formation, forming a circle, ready to attack Wang and take advantage of his injuries.

The vicious weapons came straight towards him, like vicious people, completely sealing off Wang's movements. The soldiers perhaps had an interest in tormenting their prey, but the "prey" wasn't in the mood to waste time with these guys.

"Get out of my way!" In a roaring scream, the sword blade came crashing down, creating a resounding boom. With one strike, everything in its path, be it people or weapons, were sent flying in the next moment.

The lingering power of the tiger, coupled with Wang's ferocity, shook the injured soldiers. Even in a heavily wounded state, once the person in question became truly angry, it was not a few hundred or even a thousand people that could stop them.

It's strange to say that, at this moment, Wang shouldn't have any strength left, but the overwhelming anger from a moment ago was truly astonishing in every sense.

This cannot go on.

Yue, who was watching from a safe distance, could see clearly:

The two people on the battlefield are currently using their voices to shorten the distance between them, and in a while, they will officially meet.

If asked about her mood, Yue is naturally extremely unhappy.

From his perspective, he can vaguely see the girl wearing a cross on her chest, rapidly approaching at any cost to save the leader of the demon clan.

That girl is none other than his blood-related sister!

It's ironic when you think about it.

After all, the person his brother tried everything to eliminate happens to be the person his sister is doing everything to save.

Not to mention that the two siblings have completely opposite thoughts and actions, from their wills to their practical approaches.

This is something Yue cannot tolerate, and he absolutely doesn't want his sister to stay with the enemy. For this reason, the two of them must be separated.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the messenger in charge of delivering orders came over and quietly asked for Yue's decision:

"That sudden appearance of a girl is quite troublesome. Our brothers have suffered quite a bit because of her. What does the Lord think is the best way to handle this?"

"Just deal with her by any means necessary and stop bothering me with everything... But be careful, I want her to stay alive."

Hearing this, the messenger immediately showed a troubled expression, twisting his legs on the spot, weakly saying:

"That woman's aura fluctuation is not strong, but her momentum is terrifying. It might be difficult for us to bring her here unscathed."

"You're becoming deaf! Have I ever given any orders for you to bring her here unharmed?"

"Huh, could it be that the Lord's intention is..."

"Yes, I allow you to use more ruthless methods to bring her here, as long as you guarantee that she still has a breath when she arrives in front of me!"

In other words, even half-dead prisoners would do!

When Yue relaxed his requirements to the maximum, the messenger suddenly felt that his job became much easier.

This person spread the order, conveying the commander's instructions to the entire army. Thus, the soldiers who were originally unsure suddenly knew what they had to do.

From this moment on, the test belonging to Cai has truly arrived.

Her ability to advance all the way here is closely related to the tactics of the sudden attack.

However, the so-called "attack" can only be carried out when the enemy is unprepared.

At first, the soldiers didn't expect the sudden arrival of the enemy, combined with the fast speed of the large dog, which led to the initial chaotic situation.

But now?

The soldiers realized that they no longer felt panic towards the enemy's sudden arrival and were granted certain rights by Yue, causing them to become serious.

At a certain moment, when Cai and the large dog were galloping forward, a large amount of mud and sand surged from below, and a thick iron chain flew out, binding tightly around the thick neck.

The large dog didn't have a chance to free itself before being lifted into the air by dozens of strong men holding the iron chains from behind.

In an instant, Cai fell to the ground together with the dog.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several more iron chains followed, wrapping around the suspended large dog and seven or eight lower-ranking generals, restraining their heads and legs respectively.

"Little dog!"

"Sister, don't come over, I can barely handle these guys... I won't be able to take you any further, I'll leave it to you, big sister!"

The Iron Chain Army trapped the large dog. The rest of the soldiers raised their arms, intending to kill the dog by throwing iron spears at it.

The large dog, before the people's plan could succeed, gathered all its strength in its body, transforming itself into a giant stone, and forcefully broke free from the restraints, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!

The heavy body suddenly fell, smashing a corner of the earth with its flesh and causing cracks to spread like a spider web, inevitable in their expansion on the surface.

The large dog's head was cracked and blood flowed as it knocked down the surrounding soldiers. It also fell into unconsciousness due to its severe injuries.

With the help of its sacrificial blow, Cai managed to bypass the middle part of the army and continued on towards the final obstacle.

There were still seven layers of the army formation remaining to block their path.

Numerous dazzling blades stabbed towards them, but Cai, who had little strength left, relied solely on her combat experience in her mind to struggle against many opponents.

Wang couldn't help her because he had already tried his best to delay half of the soldiers and couldn't come to her aid alone.

Unlike her previous experiences, Cai was now left with only herself to rely on.

She understood:

If she continued to move forward, there was a high possibility that she would fall in a pool of blood before reaching that person.

But so what?

If it were someone else, they would probably have already felt a sense of fear and even had the thought of giving up.

But in Cai's heart, there was no fear, instead only a sense of calmness.

Some words are not just spoken casually.

Cai had once told the large dog that she wished to die together with the person whose name she couldn't remember. This sentence undoubtedly touched a genuine emotion.

Now, that surging impulse from the depths of her heart still motivated her legs to continue stepping forward.

One step, one swing of the sword, one person slain by each strike.

She didn't know when it had started, but the irredeemable kind-hearted sister was buried in the past.

Now, the person who appeared here, desperately wielding a sword, was a girl who was willing to take lives with her own hands for the sake of protecting something.

Sweat appeared on her forehead, and her legs, which were limited in strength, were already feeling powerless, yet the steps she took remained steady.

Being hit by iron weapons on the body didn't matter, being unable to lift the joints didn't matter, blood overflowing didn't matter.

She clung to her belief and persisted stubbornly, stepping forward while swinging her cross-shaped sword, then repeating the previous steps, occasionally being hit by the enemy's weapons.

Wang couldn't see Cai, but through the occasional sound of impact, he faintly sensed something and shouted anxiously.

The two couldn't see each other, only their voices reaching each other's ears:

"We don't need a useless little girl here, get out of here!"

"No!"

"You have become so audacious, not even listening to me anymore?"

"I can't even remember who you are, why should I listen? I won't listen!"

The two had never had such a intense argument before, and there had never been a moment when they cared more about each other than now.

Not long ago, two splashes of red had appeared under Cai's feet;

The color was very intense, even noticeable without carefully looking;

It seemed as if all the colors of the sunset had gathered here, causing redness to overflow on the battlefield, giving it a sorrowful blood-like appearance.

When the hand holding the sword became difficult to lift and the breath exhaled turned red, Cai's wish became more and more firm in her heart.

Even if she couldn't reach that person alive, it didn't matter. At least, she hoped to die together with the person she cared most about.

If it could be like this, then there would be no regrets...
