Although Ling Hua told Yan Qing not to worry about her, how could Yan Qing not worry? So, when he was fighting with Ning Ye, he was always a bit distracted, narrowly avoiding being injured by Ning Ye several times.
It wasn't until Liuli led a large group of people into the city through the open gate and until he saw Ye Rui arriving with reinforcements from Ling Mountain that Yan Qing finally focused entirely on the fight.
Ning Ye could clearly feel Yan Qing's aura change in an instant; his sword's edge also changed, becoming extremely fierce, with a killing intent that could move mountains and seas, and a sword intent that made heaven and earth lose their color.
The highest state of swordsmanship is to simplify complexity, and among thousands of changes, use just one move to kill the foe.
