Chapter 1115

　　Death Of Xuan Tianmo

　　A bloody person! Naked from head to toe, lower body rotten to the point that white bone could be seen, but the scariest part was that face. Or rather, it could not be called a face anymore, it was just meat with blood and flesh mixed together, a vague outline could be seen but the surface was completely gone, just like a monster.

　　Many soldiers who were standing guard could not take it after seeing this, some of them could not tolerate this scene and threw up and the rest turned their faces away, not wanting to look at it any longer.

　　Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua frowned deeply, the two of them could naturally tell that the rotten person was the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo, but his face was rotten in a very strange way. Feng Yuheng said softly: “All the skin on his face is gone, as if it was torn off by someone.”

　　Xuan Tianhua nodded, “The imperial family of Zong Sui is skilled at disguise, but in reality, their perfection is in their ability to make human skin masks. I’m afraid that they captured Old Eighth for the purpose of his face, tearing off the skin of his face, it would help Zong Sui in accomplishing an important task.”

　　“What important task?” Feng Yuheng tilted her head and thought: “To disguise as Old Eighth and mess up Da Shun’s court? Isn’t that hope a little too uncertain? But Seventh Brother, your analysis is correct, I also feel that their goal is the skin of Old Eighth’s face, but I do not know how the other party wants to use it. But if Old Eighth is dead, disguise or what not, there would be no purpose to it anymore, right?” The edges of her mouth puckered, “It seems like tonight, there will definitely be blood filling the air under this east city gate.”

　　Xuan Tianhua did not continue this topic, only asking her: “Are you confident in settling this quickly?”

　　Feng Yuheng nodded, “I am confident. Seventh Brother, descend to the ground first! When I finished dealing with these people, save Xiangrong immediately.”

　　Xuan Tianhua descended, at this moment, that Yu Qianyin who was hanging outside the city walls could not tolerate it anymore, shouting downwards: “You idiots! Why did you come to save me?”

　　The people below looked up at her, anxiousness showing on all their faces. In the end, Yu Qianyin was Zong Sui’s princess and is a more important person to the new Emperor. Even though the imperial family of Zong Sui were all experts in making human skin masks, this Sixth Princess was the one who was the best at making them despite being young. There were many plans by the new Emperor which were waiting to be completed with her help, they definitely could not lose the Princess here. Therefore, someone shouted loudly upwards at Feng Yuheng with a cold gaze: “Your people have been brought over, release our Princess!”

　　The words were shouted out, but there were still two large swords shakily being held against the necks of Feng Xiangrong and Xiao Bao. Xiangrong looked dishevelled, her hair was hanging down loosely, and when she looked towards Feng Yuheng, her eyes were filled with tears. But she still shook her head unyieldingly, her lips moving soundlessly: No.

　　Xiao Bao was more direct, crying loudly, his throat was all hoarse, making for a heart-wrenching sight.

　　As for Xuan Tianmo, no one paid too much attention to him, he was just carried carelessly as if they were carrying an object. There was no need to threaten him with a sword, because that person no longer had any ability to run away.

　　Feng Yuheng looked downwards, her heart and head throbbing, but she still counted carefully. There were eight people in total, four people restraining Xiangrong and Xiao Bao, and the other four people were standing behind, in a battle-ready stance.

　　As she looked, she smiled, ignoring the people below, asking Yu Qianyin: “This is your attitude? And blades were being held against their necks after all! Very good!” As she said ‘very good’, the soldier behind her stepped forward immediately, reaching out with a long blade, they pressed this against Yu Qianyin’s neck, causing Yu Qianyin to scream in fright.

　　The people below were also frightened, truly afraid that Feng Yuheng’s side would kill her. They looked at each other, but were unable to decide, they were afraid once they let go of the people first, what would they do if the other party went back on their word? At that time, without rescuing their Princess, they would have lost the hostages as well, then they would no longer have any hope. Therefore, someone shouted loudly: “What do you want before you’re willing to let her go?”

　　Feng Yuheng asked in return: “It was you people who first captured my people, now you are asking what I want before I let her go? If you want to rescue your princess, then show some sincerity, let my people go first, as for this imperial princess, to let her go or not, it would depend on This Princess’ mood.”

　　“What?” The people below became angry, “Feng Yuheng! Do not act so exaggeratedly! Your younger sister is still in our hands, aren’t you afraid that once our hands slip, her head would immediately be sliced off?” As these people spoke, they really stuck the blade onto Xiangrong’s skin, and pitifully, Xiangrong’s tender skin immediately had a blood trail from being cut.

　　Feng Yuheng frowned deeply, anger swelling up in her heart. In the blink of an eye, seeing that Xuan Tianhua had already brought hidden guards and reached a distance that was convenient for taking action, she did not want to speak too much to the other party, only speak to Yu Qianyin: “I have never thought of freeing you, ever since you captured my younger sister, there is already irreconcilable hatred between us. Yu Qianyin, let me tell you, people all have a bottom line, my first bottom line is my husband, my second would be the little amount of kinship I have left. Unfortunately, you just had to touch it.”

　　After saying this, she reached into her sleeve, and very quickly, two pocket guns were grasped in her hands, with one gun in one hand, she extended her arm fully and shot downwards. Heard four continuous sounds of “Bang bang bang bang”, the four Zong Sui people restraining Xiangrong and Xiao Bao did not even moan before they fell to the ground with the sound, immediately after that, another four sounds of “Bang bang bang bang”, the bloody hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the foreheads of the four people behind, there were no warning signs and they died instantly.

　　If Feng Yuheng was using arrows now, the people below would also find it hard to escape death, but she was not 100% confident that she could ensure that Xiangrong and Xiao Bao would be completely uninjured. But she had guns, with this future era advanced weapon in her hands, she did not need to consider anything. No one’s speed was faster than bullets, let alone during this cold weapon era, Zong Sui people do not even know what guns were!

　　With those eight people falling to the ground, Xuan Tianhua also took action, the hidden guards quickly pulled the corpses away, and one person carried Xiao Bao to a safe place, and another person carried Xuan Tianmo and stood next to Xuan Tianhua. And Xuan Tianhua personally received Xiangrong, when that young girl breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed into his arms tiredly, a feeling similar to heart pain surfaced vaguely, to the point that his arm around her tightened and he said softly: “Girl, do not fear, everything is alright.”

　　Xiangrong was already half conscious, but this sentence still entered her ears clearly, she smiled sweetly, that smile stood out a lot on her dishevelled appearance, but it looked so happy.

　　Xuan Tianhua was preparing to pick her up in a princess carry, planning to carry her up the city tower for Feng Yuheng to take a look, at this moment, he heard the “faceless” person carried by the hidden guard at his side start to howl. His limbs flailing, his howls sounded extremely tragic, just like a crazy monster, even the hidden guard carrying him could not help but frown.

　　But listening carefully, amongst the beast like howls, there were words which would vaguely be discerned, calling out: “Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother!”

　　Xuan Tianhua shuddered inwardly and turned his head to the side to look at him, his gaze showing some pain. Regardless, this was his younger brother. Even though he made mistakes, but with the last name of “Xuan”, there was similar blood flowing in his veins which could not be cut. Seeing him sigh softly, he reached out and lightly tapped Xuan Tianmo’s body a few times, that person quietened down immediately, even though he was still panting heavily, he was no longer howling, only whimpering.

　　“What happened to your face?” Xuan Tianhua asked him, “You called me Seventh Brother, what help do you want from me?”

　　That person panted quickly a few times, then he tried to calm himself down as much as possible, his empty eyes looking towards Xuan Tianhua, there seemed to be tears flowing out from within, but the tears instantly mixed into the blood and flesh, so it could not be seen at all. Sounds of “Uuuu” came out from his mouth, as if he could no longer speak human language that well, needing to put in a lot of effort just to speak, but his voice was still hoarse and unclear. Xuan Tianhua heard him say: “They tore off my whole face, wanting to make another me. Seventh Brother, you are the best person, help me, help me!” He wanted to reach out to grab Xuan Tianhua, but reaching out with one hand, he felt that Xuan Tianhua’s white robes do not allow being stained by his hand which was covered in blood, so it paused in mid air and never lowered itself.

　　Xuan Tianhua hugged Xiangrong with one arm, and his other hand held onto Xuan Tianmo’s hand which was suspended in mid-air, asking calmly: “How do you want me to help?”

　　“…… Kill me, give me a release.” This was Xuan Tianmo’s last words as a prince! His pleading gaze held full sincerity as he looked towards Xuan Tianhua, his mouth sunk down and finally a large amount of tears flowed out from his eyes. “Seventh Brother, I was wrong, tell Ming-er, I was wrong; also tell Father Emperor, I was wrong. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to be Father Emperor’s good son, be Ming-er’s good older brother and will no longer act like how I was in this life. Seventh Brother, kill me! I beg you…… kill me!”

　　Xuan Tianhua sighed inwardly and closed his eyes for a short while, secretly harbouring feelings of not bearing to do so. But he also knew, currently, helping Xuan Tianmo die quickly was the biggest mercy which could be done.

　　Therefore, he nodded, then raised his hand and lightly patted Xuan Tiamo’s head. This action caused Xuan Tianmo to remember when he was young, probably around when he was three or four years old! At that time, he still did not know what was having the same father and different mother and did not understand why his Imperial Concubine Mother would close the door in her palace and harshly scold that Imperial Concubine Yun who entered the imperial palace last, and knew even less that one day, these brothers would end up fighting each other to the death in the future for the sake of one throne.

　　Ming-er was stubborn and was also the one closest to him in age, the two of them would always quarrel over something. At that time, he would still act like an older brother and knew how to compromise to his younger brother, if there were good things and Ming-er liked them, he would not fight for it. But after that Imperial Concubine Yuan told him that he had to fight for it, they were all princes, based on what must the best things be given to other people? With this continued bad guidance over a long period, his heart finally started to stray, and he finally started to follow the thoughts of Imperial Concubine Yuan on the same path, until today, he was not a human, he was not a demon, he was not alive, he was not dead.

　　He still remembered when he fought Ming-er when he as young, children being children, they would normally play rough with each other. Seventh Brother and Ming-er were Imperial Concubine Yun’s children so they would definitely be in one group, so he would cry after losing the fight and never hoped that someone would help him. But Seventh Brother would always come over to comfort him when he was crying badly, and he would always stop crying quickly when Seventh Brother comforted him, and he could still smile at Seventh Brother.

　　When he was young, there was a period of time that he would see Seventh Brother as an idol, even lunging forward when he saw Seventh Brother, even if Ming-er would always be at the side to stop him, he was not deterred.

　　Today, he was finally going to die in his Seventh Brother’s hands, Xuan Tianmo thought, his life was still considered satisfactory, being deserted by his followers, and even when his birth mother betrayed him, there was still his Seventh Brother at his side to send him on his final journey. With a life like this, he was satisfied.

　　Xuan Tianhua started to gradually exert force on his hand which was patting Xuan Tianmo’s head, with his eyes showing some signs of reluctance, he opened his mouth, and spoke in an extremely comforting tone: “Eighth Brother, do not fear, do not be scared, it is not painful.”

　　With the relieved smile vaguely seen from Xuan Tianmo, the force on his head suddenly increased, with the forceful tightening of his five fingers, the smile of the person under his hand froze on that mass of blood and flesh and stopped breathing……
