His mind kept replaying his crimes and calling him a coward.

Song Jingchen took the opportunity to attack him. The huge force sent him flying and he fell to the ground.

“Your Majesty!” Lianshan was shocked.

“Don’t come over!” Shangguan Yu shouted at the soldiers who wanted to retreat. He used his sword to support his body and stood up.

“You’re right, so let’s end it today.” He looked at Song Jingchen with red eyes. As he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a dark red pill quietly entered his mouth.

In an instant, his eyes were filled with almost tangible blood qi, and the aura around him began to change.

Song Jingchen instinctively felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He frowned and tightened his grip on his sword.

Martial arts emphasized gradual progress, not overnight changes. There had never been any shortcuts. It was clearly abnormal for Shangguan Yu’s internal energy to suddenly increase.

Powerful internal energy barged through his body. The veins on Shangguan Yu’s forehead bulged. He endured the pain of his meridians cracking at any moment and suddenly attacked Song Jingchen.

It was too fast.

Even though Song Jingchen’s five senses were sharper than others, he almost couldn’t catch him.

After barely seven or eight moves.

Bang!

He was sent flying to the ground by a palm strike and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could stand up, Shangguan Yu’s attack approached again. Song Jingchen swung his sword and barely blocked it. The incomparably domineering pressure made his entire arm go numb.

Shangguan Yu put away his sword and attacked with an even fiercer killing move. This time, it directly broke Song Jingchen’s sword and all the meridians in his body.

The next move was aimed at his throat.

“Am I going to die here?” he thought.

However, that girl would cry, right? And their unborn child..

Thinking of this, Song Jingchen used his last bit of strength to roll to the side.

The blade missed and drew a line of blood on his neck.

He actually dodged it?

Surprise flashed across Shangguan Yu’s eyes. However, this didn’t change anything.

At the critical moment, a sharp sound tore through the air.

A huge force made his longsword fall from his hand.

Shangguan Yu suddenly looked up and saw a pale face.

Looking down, the woman was holding a bow. Her skirt was covered in blood.

Noticing the woman’s bulging abdomen, Shangguan Yu was slightly stunned. He retracted his gaze and grabbed at Song Jingchen.

“Yu’er, don’t!”

Shangguan Yu paused.

“As your mother, I beg you. Please turn back.” Song Li knelt down and begged.

Shangguan Yu turned to look at him with red eyes. He retracted his fingers and clenched them into fists. He opened his mouth and spat out two words silently.

Right on the heels of that, a look of pain flashed across his face. A bright red line flowed out of his mouth, and his eyes darkened.

“Your Majesty!” Lianshan broke through the layers of obstacles and caught his fallen body. He helped him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth in a panic, but the blood seemed to flow endlessly. He couldn’t wipe it away no matter how hard he tried.

Shangguan Yu opened his mouth, and more blood gushed out. “Your Majesty, don’t speak. I’ll go find an imperial physician for you.”

“It’s… useless…

Once he took that medicine, even Zenith Heaven immortals would not be able to save him.

It was precisely because of this that Ji Yunxi said before she left that he should not eat it unless he had no other choice.

He tightened his grip on Lianshan’s sleeve and said with difficulty, “The imperial study… There’s a secret compartment…”

With that, he turned to look at Song Li, who was covering her mouth and crying.

“Mother, I’m sorry.” he thought.

He closed his eyes and smiled.

Just like in the past, everyone who saw it felt as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.

To him, death was also a form of release.

With Shangguan Yu’s death, the Wu army no longer had any thoughts of resisting. They were easily controlled by the army brought by Sikong Yi and Xuanyuan Ce.

Shen Yijia threw away the bow in her hand and staggered to Song Jingchen’s side. Seeing that his eyes were closed and there was no part of his body that was fully intact, her breathing tightened. She reached out with a trembling hand, but she didn’t know where to put her hand. Her hand stopped in midair.

“Hubby…” she called out in a trembling voice..
