What of it?
That's right, what of it.
She was Xuan Tianming's woman. Even if she could destroy the world, he would allow her to do so. So what if she attacked a tiny Qian Zhou?
Xuan Tianming's arrival allowed Ban Zou and Prince Lian to let out a sigh of relief. The ruler of Qian Zhou finally understood why Feng Yu Heng, who had been pushed to the point of no return, suddenly had a smile on her face. To be able to enter Phoenix Hall right under his nose and send his opponent flying with a whip, Feng Zhao Yu's heart felt cold. This Dashun Dynasty's Ninth Prince, exactly how good was his martial arts?
At this time, Xuan Tianming was pulling Feng Yu Heng over to inspect her. After determining that she had not been injured, he lectured her: "You really are causing trouble for me when you can't keep an eye on her. If you wanted to kill someone, just say it. Why bother doing it yourself? You're only 14 years old. You're still a young girl with small arms and legs, yet you went to fight with a grown man. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Prince Lian rolled his eyes upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this couple really was a match for each other in spouting nonsense. Ban Zou was accustomed to this, and he nodded in agreement.
Feng Yu Heng took the initiative to admit her mistake: "I won't do it again."
"Un." Xuan Tianming patted her head, "Be good." He then seriously asked: "How many times did he hit you just now?"
Feng Yu Heng thought a little, "At the beginning, there was no difference in strength, and I did not suffer much. Later on, I became tired and received three hits on my arm, two on my shoulder, one on my left calf, two on my right thigh. My left wrist was the most important target, receiving eleven hits. "
"Good." Xuan Tianming nodded and pushed her over to Ban Zou, "Massage your master's shoulders." He then used his internal strength to pull the whip taut, pointing it at Qian Zhou's ruler, "A total of 19 hits. Feng Zhao Yu, how do you want to die?"
Feng Zhaoyu was still brooding over the fact that Xuan Tianming had easily taken Feng Yu Heng back from him. He had always been conceited and did not believe that there was anyone below him who could beat him. Even the master who taught him kung fu had personally killed him after he had learned it. He had inquired about Dashun's Ninth Prince before. Although he had kung fu and was not bad, he still could not reach his level. Xuan Tianming was best at leading troops in battle and setting up large-scale formations, not fighting alone.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was just a coincidence, caused by his carelessness. Faced with Xuan Tianming's question, he laughed and was about to say, "Arrogant." However, before he could say anything, Xuan Tianming suddenly said something that he had said before, "Noisy!" Then, the long whip spun and fiercely lashed out twice at his left and right arms, causing Feng Zhao Yu to spin in circles.
"The arms should have been whipped three times. The extra one can be considered the interest that I collected." He said it very casually, as though taking care of Feng Zhaoyu was the same concept as beating a drowning dog. There was not the slightest bit of difficulty.
Feng Zhaoyu's entire body was filled with a cold aura. The scholarly aura that he had before was completely gone. At this moment, he was like a demon that had come from hell. Even if he had to return, he would drag another down with him.
He charged at Xuan Tianming. His left hand formed a claw, and his right hand pulled out a sword from his waist. The sword flashed with frost, and it gave people the feeling that there was a thin layer of ice on the blade.
Prince Lian inhaled sharply and muttered: "That was made from ten-thousand-year-old ice from the northernmost part of Qian Zhou. In the entire world, there is only one. That is a treasured sword passed down from his master's family. Who knew that he would be able to kill his master and even obtain this sword."
Feng Yu Heng frowned: "Thousand-year-old ice can have such flexibility? It can be wrapped around his waist? " No matter what, she could not understand; however, she knew that there were too many strange things that could not be said or explained. Thousand-year-old ice could not be considered strange.
Feng Zhaoyu's counterattack was filled with the determination to perish together. That destructive aura was something that even Xuan Tianming could feel. Unfortunately, this degree of shock was not enough for Xuan Tianming.
He said: "Ruler of a fallen country, is your anger only this little bit?"
Feng Zhaoyu's entire face was green. Xuan Tianming's words caused his attacks to become even more fierce. He had never used everything that he had learned in his life like he did today. The internal strength that he focused on was also never used in such an unrestrained manner. Every strike was filled with cold air. When that cold air swept across the ground, a layer of frost appeared on the ground. When it swept across the tables and chairs, the tables and chairs were shattered. Ban Zou stood in front of Feng Yu Heng to protect her, and Prince Lian also hid behind him; however, they could still feel the cold wind blowing. That feeling made them wonder if Phoenix Pavilion would collapse under that ice sword.
Xuan Tianming, however, shook his head while fighting, "Ruler of Qian Zhou, it's not enough. You don't have enough resentment. For those that specialize in cold techniques, the resentment in their hearts is the best guarantee for their techniques to be displayed. You don't have enough resentment, so you were not able to display even 60% of the power of these 360 cold sword techniques."
Feng Zhaoyu's heart went "thunk." Xuan Tianming's words had struck his heart and lungs. They had pointed out the source of his sword techniques' weakness. That sort of feeling was as if the secret that he had worked so hard to hide had been exposed in front of everyone. It had touched his bottom line.
But Xuan Tianming continued to speak. Lash after lash, he had no choice but to listen, "You have chased after the throne for your entire life. You have stepped on the blood of your loved ones to succeed. What you have in your heart is not resentment, but cruelty. What exists in your body is not resentment, but hostility. Even if you are a martial arts genius, being able to use hostility to this degree is not easy, but if you want to take another step forward, it is too difficult. "
His words left Feng Zhaoyu with no room to dodge or hide. All of his weaknesses were exposed to the enemy. In exchange, the enemy launched a new round of even fiercer attacks.
Xuan Tianming said: "I have rarely acted like this over the years. It's such that too many people only remember that I am skilled in formations; however, they forget that I also studied under an expert. Ruler of Qian Zhou, you touched my wife 19 times, so I will return with 36 lashes. Now, it is time to send you to accompany this land that has collapsed. "
After saying this, the whip began to move even faster and more strangely. After a few moves, Feng Zhaoyu's sword was thrown into the air, falling in front of Feng Yu Heng's group of three. In the next moment, the whip went straight for Feng Zhaoyu's neck. With just a twist, it wrapped tightly around Feng Zhaoyu's neck.
Xuan Tianming changed the direction of his strength, focusing all of his internal energy on the whip. Feng Zhaoyu just felt the whip around his neck tighten. All of the blood in his body surged, causing his eyes to bulge out of their sockets. Opening his mouth, he did his best to inhale; however, he was already exhaling more than he was inhaling.
The fall of the dynasty and the bloodshed over the past decade quickly replayed in his mind. The relatives that he had killed, the brothers that he had killed, one by one, returned to stand in front of him. There were those who cried, there were those who laughed, there were those who were furious and there were even those who wanted to strangle him. There was also Prince Lian. He still remembered a night many years ago when his father and Duan Mu An Guo had a long conversation. His father said that the imperial grandson could not be killed, so Duan Mu An Guo told his father to have him become the imperial granddaughter that had no right to fight for the throne. Thus his cousin, Feng Zhaolian, was sent to the place of a magician. He was fed medicine all day long, turning into a person that was neither male nor female.
The path to the throne was paved with blood; however, he did not sit for many years before the heavens collapsed and destroyed everything.
Feng Zhaoyu laughed loudly. Looking at Xuan Tianming, he used the last of his strength to say to him: "If I die, you will also be buried with me." After saying this, he breathed his last; however, at the same time that he said those words, the entire Phoenix Pavilion suddenly began to sink. The speed was extremely fast. It was such that before anyone could react, the bottom three floors had already sunk to the bottom.
Seeing that snow had already begun to pour in through the open window, Xuan Tianming quickly let go of the whip that was wrapped around Qian Zhou's ruler. Rushing over to Feng Yu Heng, he grabbed her and rushed straight up. At the same time, he raised the whip and tore a hole in the roof of Phoenix Pavilion. He then flew straight up into the sky with her.
Ban Zou followed behind and also used his qinggong. Before he could get very high, he suddenly felt something tighten around his ankle. His entire body was pulled back, falling to the ground.
He looked down and saw that Prince Lian was holding onto his ankle and refusing to let go. He loudly shouted: "You can't leave me behind!" He was so angry that his nose nearly became crooked; however, he still went forward and grabbed Prince Lian. Bringing him along, he flew straight toward the hole.
With the collapse of the heavens, the final intact building in the imperial palace sank into the ground with a "boom." Prince Lian turned around and told them: "This was Feng Zhaoyu activating the self-sinking mechanism ahead of time. He originally wanted to drag people down with him." While saying this, he patted his chest and said to Xuan Tianming: "It's a good thing that you came. If you did not come, based on Ya Ya's mediocre skills, we would have already become dumpling fillings for Feng Zhaoyu."
This time, Feng Yu Heng did not try to be brave, taking the initiative to admit her mistake: "I was careless." She then looked at Xuan Tianming with some lingering fear and said: "He attacked my left wrist."
Xuan Tianming gently pulled her into his embrace and stroked her hair, saying over and over again: "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm here."
Prince Lian turned his head away, "Too sour." He then raised his head to look at the ruined imperial palace, and his lips curled into a cold smile, "Feng family, Qian Zhou, what you owe me has been repaid. Goodbye."
Xuan Tianming's army remained in Qian Zhou's capital for half a month. They dug up all of the corpses that they could find and buried them in the old imperial palace. The citizens of the capital automatically gave up on Qian Zhou and moved to Dashun.
Half a month later, the tens of thousands of soldiers brought all of the citizens of the capital South, preparing to return to Dashun.
Right before leaving, Xuan Tianming sent out ten thousand soldiers, and Qian Li led them North to save the few remaining citizens in the North.
On the way back, he asked Feng Yu Heng: "Father Emperor promised that Qian Zhou would be given to you as a dowry, but now that Qian Zhou is in this state, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "Qian Zhou sealed the country and did not leave behind any citizens, but it left behind some soldiers to defend it. I want to turn this place into Dashun's storehouse and farm. Tianshan Mountain will become a medicine factory. There will come a day when it will flourish once more. "
Qian Zhou, which had been developing, fell into a cold state one month later. It was as though the collapse of the heavens had never happened, and the land returned to its peaceful state.
But the citizens had already lost the confidence to continue living. They followed the army South, passing through Luo City, Bin City and the North Gate. In the end, they stood in Jiang Zhou, in Dashun's territory.
When the army entered Jiang Zhou, an official immediately rushed over on a horse. After receiving Xuan Tianming, he handed over a letter and said: "Your Highness, the imperial palace in the capital has received an urgent report."
