Chapter 1106

Inside the room, Yi Xiaochuan's killing intent arose.

For Yushu, for himself, and also to avenge past grievances, he struck at Liu Bang without hesitation.

Although he had no weapon in hand, what kind of person was Yi Xiaochuan? With the help of the tiger-shaped pendant on his body, his physique was extraordinary; in the past, he could even wrestle with fierce tigers, and he had followed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu for years to learn martial arts. After Yushu and he parted ways, he had become obsessed with practicing martial arts, and his skills had improved once again.

His fists rained down upon Liu Bang.

Even though Liu Bang was a Tingzhang and held the duty of arresting thieves, and possessed some amateur martial arts skills, his style was more like a street thug fighting, lacking any technique whatsoever.

After only a few moves, he was beaten by Yi Xiaochuan until he was scurrying for cover.

Cries for help constantly escaped Liu Bang's mouth.

Liu Bang was a clever man; although he did not know how Yi Xiaochuan had entered the palace, in the end, Yi Xiaochuan was still just a commoner with no official rank, while he was a Tingzhang, at least part of the system.

In this imperial palace, although Yi Xiaochuan had a backer.

Liu Bang did not believe that Yi Xiaochuan's backer could cover the sky with one hand.

The people outside could not possibly intercept everything.

As long as his cries for help were loud enough, they would eventually attract someone's attention.

Once others arrived, he would then explain the whole story.

Yi Xiaochuan, a mere commoner, had attempted to murder him, a Tingzhang; for this alone, he would surely die.

However, Liu Bang had ultimately underestimated Su Xuan's influence within the imperial palace; he had shouted for a long time, yet it never caused any stir, as if the people outside were all deaf.

No, they could not be called deaf.

It was that they simply could not be bothered to pay attention to Liu Bang; furthermore, some even showed joy on their faces, wishing for Liu Bang to die sooner.

This "some" referred to Gao Yao.

When Yi Xiaochuan went in to talk with Liu Bang, Su Xuan stood guard outside alone; at some point, Gao Yao had also hurried here.

At first, hearing Liu Bang reveal the truth, he showed an expression of "as expected."

Later, when Su Xuan gave Yi Xiaochuan a choice, he could not help but gloat; he wanted to see what choice Yi Xiaochuan would make.

One must know, that day he had kindly gone to find Yi Xiaochuan and told him the truth.

Yet the other party did not appreciate it and chose to believe Liu Bang.

This made Gao Yao extremely angry.

Thus, settling old and new scores together, Gao Yao also grew to loathe Yi Xiaochuan, this fellow countryman.

At this moment, Liu Bang had even admitted that the corvée labor incident was his doing.

If Yi Xiaochuan still chose to forgive Liu Bang, then Gao Yao would have to admit that Yi Xiaochuan was truly a saintly good person.

Naturally, by that time, he would not choose to continue watching the show.

Yi Xiaochuan did not want to kill Liu Bang, but he truly had to be killed.

Only by killing Liu Bang could he vent the hatred in his heart.

However, Gao Yao ultimately did not wait for that moment, because after doing so many spineless things, Yi Xiaochuan had finally done something that made him look at him with new eyes.

He had taken action against Liu Bang.

Listening to Liu Bang's screams, Gao Yao looked happy—he loved watching dogs bite dogs—but at the same time, he could not help but look at Su Xuan, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

Ruthless!

Too ruthless!

Mr. Su knew clearly that Liu Bang was Yi Xiaochuan's sworn brother, yet he chose to expose these matters right in front of Yi Xiaochuan.

Through simple means, he caused this pair of brothers to turn against each other, forcing Yi Xiaochuan to take ruthless action against his own sworn brother.

Didn't Yi Xiaochuan trust him? Didn't he pride himself on benevolence and righteousness?

It is evident that his so-called benevolence and righteousness are nothing more than this.

"Xiaochuan, I was wrong, spare me~~!"

"I was truly wrong!"

"I am your sworn big brother, we once drank wine together!"

Liu Bang's painful cries rang out incessantly as he begged Yi Xiaochuan for mercy with all his might.

During the process of Yi Xiaochuan attacking him, it was not as if he hadn't tried to fight back, but his skills were far inferior to Yi Xiaochuan's; before his fist could even land on Yi Xiaochuan, Yi Xiaochuan had already dealt him a heavy blow.

After enduring several of Yi Xiaochuan's punches, Liu Bang felt pain all over his body; such agony was something he had never endured before.

He worried that if this continued, he would truly die.

Death? He was certainly afraid, but he was even more afraid of dying in such agony.

Dual fear further ignited Liu Bang's survival instinct.

He kept begging Yi Xiaochuan for mercy, but Yi Xiaochuan seemed to turn a deaf ear; his mind was filled only with Yushu.

Yushu's figure flashed by repeatedly, and Liu Bang's shameless words echoed in his mind again.

For Yushu, he had no choice but to kill this shameless scoundrel.

Punch after punch, soon, Liu Bang's cries grew weaker and weaker, and he lay on the ground covered in wounds.

When his life was in danger, he had struggled desperately, leaving some injuries on Yi Xiaochuan, but Yi Xiaochuan was, after all, younger and more resilient.

By the time Yi Xiaochuan was injured, Liu Bang was already critically wounded and dying.

"Xiaochuan, let me go!"

Liu Bang's voice sounded with a sobbing tone; his face was unrecognizable, his body covered in wounds, lying on the ground, looking like he was on his last breath.

Yi Xiaochuan knelt on Liu Bang, his fist ready to strike at Liu Bang's head.

Hearing this voice, his fist paused abruptly.

In this instant, looking at Liu Bang's miserable state, he woke up as if from a dream; in the end, his heart softened.

After all, Liu Bang was an old acquaintance he knew, and the sworn brother he had chosen himself; back then, upon learning of Liu Bang, Yi Xiaochuan had resolutely sworn brotherhood with him because he knew that in history, the other party became the Gaozu of Han.

Regardless of how Liu Bang behaved, this person was chosen by Yi Xiaochuan himself.

The final punch was never thrown by Yi Xiaochuan.

Liu Bang noticed this scene and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; he had, after all... survived.

Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded from outside the door again, "Think carefully, once the fist is pulled back, the one who dies will be yourself!"

Yi Xiaochuan's body shook, and resentment appeared on his face.

Liu Bang's miserable state made Yi Xiaochuan sober up, while Su Xuan's words made Yi Xiaochuan realize the reality again.

The reality was that he was ultimately unable to act on his own, coerced by others.

Thus, the fist that had already paused was swung down again.

Screams rang out.

One punch, two punches, three punches, until the screams came to an abrupt end.

On this day, Yi Xiaochuan killed his brother!
