(Part 9)

"It hurts! It really hurts… It hurts more when I don't have any spiritual power. If he keeps hitting me on my back like this my wings might get damaged…" Xianwu taking a deep breath choked "Why… are you doing this?" Hongqi who seemed to be enjoying the scene chuckled "You know, my home was destroyed by this little runt! He is turning everyone into Human Eating corpses! My people are turning into corpses because of him!"

Xianwu questioned "But, I'm seeing him for the first time how could he do something like that?" Hongqi angrily grabbed a women from her hairs and made her stand close towards the hanging boy. By the passage of time while screaming she turned into a corpse and the instance she did Hongqi kicked her down the pits.

Xianwu was stupefied. "How… how can this be? How can someone change into a human eating corpse just like that and how did you know?" she asked. Hongqi smirked. "You heavenly Supremes seemed to know everything. How about I tell you something as well? We always cross this bridge and the time we were crossing this bridge, we always went to find this brat! He destroyed the City of no-return!" Xianwu pondered hard "The city of no return was toppled by the heavenly Supremes, how can it be destroyed by a single child?"

Hongqi continued "He failed to throw the Silent city into depths! He failed his own city! He destroyed his home! And now when I send my people towards the bridge he also turns them into Human Eating Corpses!! It's all his fault!! Mo Bingwen!!" he screamed hitting the child harder and harder. Xianwu who kept looking at the dreadful sight had nothing to say. Her mind was so puzzled, she didn't knew from where to start and where to end. "Mo Bingwen…" she thought.

Hongqi whipped him mercilessly "I'll kill you! You betrayer! You good for nothing! You killed everyone! I'll throw you down the pits!" he yelled like crazy. Looking at how he was hitting a little kid mercilessly Xianwu called "Leader Zhong, instead of hitting him, why don't you tell me what's wrong. I'll definitely help you!" Hongqi grinned leaving the boy on the bridge and walking towards her.

"Help me?" he asked walking closer. "Help me?!" he roared hitting Xianwu again. Xianwu who felt like breaking still didn't fought back. "I don't need it!!" he screamed. "You heavenly Supremes toppled my city without taking a single look behind! And you say you'll help me? Don't play jokes with me I'll kill you all!!" he growled picking up Xianwu and throwing her around.

Xianwu coughed hardly spitting a mouthful of blood again even so she still faced him sitting up. Hongqi smirked evilly "Oh… still have the guts, to sit back again?" he asked. Xianwu glared angrily. "You know…" he asked.

"The boy for whom you went to get the medicine for, he is already a part of the pit! I threw him away the moment you came before. So, even the cure isn't going to do anything. Be it plague or turning into a corpse! And it was all his fault" he whispered pointing his figure towards the boy hanging on the bridge.

Xianwu was thunderstruck. Never in the world did she felt so helpless, she had nothing to help herself with. How did she even think of helping others? Hongqi smirked "How about I try to throw you first? The resentments of my people would really like it." he asked approaching her again. Xiao yin who sat with his hands tied stared at him murderously, a single second after second his eyes turning red with rage.

At that moment, a young man wearing a long black robe and face covering a veil walked past Xianwu towards the bridge. Xianwu looked complexly. Hongqi grabbing him by his shoulder threw him beside Xianwu. "Who are you?!" he yelled. The man stood up again as he uttered in a voice lighter than a sparrow "Don't you dare touch him." Standing up he approached again.

This time Hongqi pulled out his medieval sword and clashed head on with the man. Xianwu stared in wonder. The man dodged several times, but Hongqi's power was too intense to be measured and the man had been hit severely.

Being thrown back towards Xianwu the man stood up wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. Hongqi smirked going towards the bridge and grabbing the boy from his neck. He kept his medieval sword around his neck. "You need him?" he asked meticulously. "Sorry, you can both meet in hell!" he yelled. The man rushed towards Hongqi again.

Grabbing his sword he tried to throw it away. "I said you can't kill him! You can't touch him! Let go!" he angered. Hongqi tried to throw him off but the man held on tightly not letting go. Xianwu stared in panic "If this keeps going on… they will all fall…" "Stop!" she called. However, Hongqi had already seen an opening and kicked the man and the boy on the bridge both down. "You want him so badly? Both of you go die in hell!"

"Fa ling!!" Xianwu called as he stretched himself and tried to grab the two of them but failed. The two of them had already fallen deep and what was heard later was the same piercing voice of someone who had been pierced by the pointed rock stone. Xianwu's eyes went dull losing their color. Her hands trembled and the voice of getting pierced seemed to repeat inside her mind. Hongqi laughed crazily.

"Finally!! Finally!! I got my revenge! I killed Mo Bingwen!! At last!" he walked towards Xianwu grabbing her by her neck he smirked "Now… heavenly Supreme, it's time for me to play with you…" he called. Immediately his gaze turned around to face Xiao yin. "But, before that how about I dispose of the little one first? He might not be able to see her sister suffer like this. Am I right sister?" he asked in agony.

Xianwu coming back to her senses rejected "No way! Don't even think about doing anything to him. He is just a child. He isn't related to me at all. Let him go!" she tried to break free from his grip. "Heeh…" he called. "Now it gives me more of a choice to play with him first!" he called throwing her far away. Xianwu coughed as she tried to get up "Don't touch him! Xiao yin run away!!" she called in panic. Hongqi picking Xiao yin up walked towards the bridge.

Xiao yin turned around gently smiling "Sister… it's alright…" he whispered. Xianwu was shocked as tears took over her eyes. She was hurt but wanted to stand up so badly to protect him. "No! It's not okay! Fa ling!" she called but fell on her knees. She didn't have any power left. Her eyes were dizzy from the impact of getting hit so many times. "Xiao yin… no… you're my only friend. Don't do this… run…." She advised.

Standing up again she rushed towards Hongqi. Xiao yin smiled again, behind him Hongqi was already ready to push him down. "Sister…" he called. "Don't worry… I'll come back real soon. I promise. I feel the worst right now, I can't bear it anymore. Please let me go… we'll meet again in a blink of an eye." He whispered as Hongqi pushed him down the cliff.

Xianwu with tears in her eyes yelped "NO! Fa ling! Grab Xiao yin right now!" she ordered while Hongqi smiled meticulously. Xiao yin's sight faded, first his black and red robes and then his long wavy hairs left her sight in the blink of an eye. Fa ling who tried to catch him never caught him returning back towards her. In the end, she could again hear a soft voice piercing through hell.
