There was nothing in the womanâs hand, but everyone heard a ripping sound that seemed to be amplified in the still silence.
It was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh and blood.
Gong Daâs eyes were wide open, as if in a trance, before he fully recovered, the woman had already rushed in front of him, her right hand holding something empty, and then his heart was pierced by some sharp weapon.
Converging air to be shaped like an object was one of the highest magic skill.
Nan Xun pierced the invisible wind knife into Gong Daâs chest, her eyes stared at him coldly while her hands gripped the knife and stirred it hard.
The next moment, another ripping sound was heard.
The wind knife was stabbed in before it was pulled back out. Because of the strength the woman used, the blood from Gong Daâs chest spurted out and splashed right on her face.
But she didnât even blink her eyes despite the damp, hot and fishy thick blood on her face, she watched on that red hole she made with cold eyes.
The fresh blood rapidly painted a large portion of his white cloth.
Gong Da panted with short breath and pointed to the woman in front of him, âYou⌠how could youâŚâ
Before he could finish this sentence, he fell to his knees while his eyes lost their focus a little.
He never expected that he would die by a woman one day, furthermore, this woman was a cheap prostitute from red-light district.
However, even if his life was quickly passing by, he didnât regret what he did today.
His empty eyes looked on to the sky, as if he was seeing the scene when he first saw the Lord in there.
Maybe others wonât understand his fanatical pursuit for State Teacher. Only he knew how the Lord pulled him back to life from the brink of death and loneliness when he was 6 years old and gave him a life in luxury, teaching him witchcraft skill.
He was without parents when he was young, it was the State Teacher who descended from the sky like a god that brought him into a world he never dared to imagine before.
Yes, the Lord was his god, and he wonât let anyone to desecrate the god in his heart.
Thatâs why he wanted to kill the woman who had tainted the Lord, because only by killing her did the Lord would turn back to become the former aloft, cold and indifferent god.
Everyone should have no other choice but to kneel on the ground and look up at the Lord, he should be one high above mortals and receive everybodyâs praise.
For this, he didnât hesitate to cooperate with the Queen.
He knew that the night of full moon was the day when the Lord would receive backlash from his witchcraft, so he made a plan that can kill two birds with one stone.
The Queen told him that there was a kind of incense inside the Emperorâs study. There wonât be any adverse effect when one smell this incense alone, but when itâs combined with sandalwood incense, it can secretly activate the magic movement and hasten the Lordâs unmentionable disease to an earlier date.
Itâs very dangerous when the Lordâs backlash occurred, itâs better if Gong Shijiu took the initiative and touched him as itâs very possible that the frenzied Lord would directly kill her.
However, if Gong Shijiu escaped the catastrophe, he would break into the main hall and accuse her of conspiring against the Lord.
This morning was the first time he ever saw the Lord lying on the bed with disheveled clothes, just like a fallen god. His heart was so angry that he couldnât wait for the cunning woman to be splattered with blood.
He calculated everything, but he didnât expect that Gong Shiqi would die for this woman, furthermore, he also didnât expect that the woman was so powerfulâŚ
Gong Da slowly closed his eyes. At the last moment of his life, the picture in his mind stopped at the beginning when that man held out his hand for him. His gaze was cold and indifferent, but he was the one who saved him like a godâŚ
Gong Da died, his hair slowly turned gray before eventually all turned into snow-shite color. His young face also withered like a tree bark; wrinkles piled up on his face.
Moran Hallâs disciples were shocked, Gong Daâs appearance after his death made them took a step back subconsciously.
Itâs like this, theyâre going to turn like this after they die!
No, they donât want to die, after death, all the lives that the Lord had given them will be taken back, and they will turn old with pieces of sagging skin hanging from their bones, so ugly!
Nan Xunâs eyes swept over all the people present one by one, the corners of her mouth rose slightly with a ridiculing smile, âCome on, come and kill me, donât you all want to kill me, this demoness?â
After a moment of dead silence, Gong Er suddenly stood up and looked at her with complicated eyes and said, âShijiu, thatâs enough. The Lord is unconscious, Gong Da and Gong Shiqi both died because of you, what else do you want?â
Nan Xun burst into laughter and said with a mocking expression, âWhat do I want? From beginning to end, itâs not what I want, but what you want!â
âI just like the Lord, whatâs wrong with it?â Nan Xun looked at them coldly, âThe Lord is still unconscious, and Iâm more worried about him than you guys, even if I can hurt myself, I would never hurt the Lord!â
Speaking until this, Nan Xunâs expression suddenly changed, her eyes quickly dimmed.
She turned around all of a sudden, her back to the crowd while saying coldly, âYou all go, Shiqi has died for me, Iâm tired, I donât want to hurt people anymore.â
Several people exchanged glances, then two people stepped forward and carried away Gong Daâs body. As for Gong Shiqi, just when several people were still hesitating whether to carry him too, the woman with her back facing them said, âYou can also bring back Shiqiâs body. Moran Hall is his home, what he did today is all for me, I hope you can give him a proper burial.â
Gong Er nodded and said, âAs you said, Shiqi is innocent.â
When everyone was gone, Nan Xun was still standing there, motionless. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, reminding her of what had just happened.
Little Eight sighed, âIs this Gong Shiqi stupid? Youâre about to catch Gong Daâs palm, why did he stupidly block it? Dying in vain ah.â
Nan Xunâs mouth was pressed tightly, not speaking any word.
Seeing her like this, Little Eight suddenly became quieter, his attitude changed, and he immediately admitted his mistake, âIâm sorry ah, Nan Xun, this grandpa has seen too much life and death, thatâs why this grandpa doesnât feel anything special even if Gong Shiqi died⌠sorry. This grandpa canât feel the same way as you do, but this grandpa still shouldnât make fun of someone who just died.â
Nan Xun still didnât speak, staring into the distance with blank eyes.
Little Eight, âAish, donât be like this, okay? I know that Gong Shiqiâs death makes you sad, but it has already happened, and you also killed Gong Da for revenge, being sad is useless ah. Still, I have to compliment you, that scene when you killed Gong Da just now was so cool, simply brilliant!â
After Little Eight performed a one-man-show for a long time, he finally found something wrong and asked in a hurry, âDear da, whatâs the matter with you?â
Nan Xun took a deep breath, and after a while passed, she finally said, âLittle Eight, Iâm blind.â
