520: Fight

“Feng TianJiao, you’ve plotted to kill me since we were young. I haven’t settled my score with you yet. So convenient that you came here to me.” TianXing looked at her sister coldly.

The two sisters lived an antithetical existence and shared no affection since early childhood. Their mother never showed affection for TianXing and only ever favored TianJiao as a daughter. As if to balance things out, their brother and father doted on TianXing. So after their mother died, TianXing fully expected TianJiao to be jealous, after all, she was the one with all the affection now.

Unexpectedly, TianJiao didn’t pay attention to their father or brother and was instead solely focused on killing TianXing. The only thing in her eyes was killing intent. She was obsessed.

“Mother’s dying wish was to have you dead in order to preserve the glory of the Feng family. I promised her I would kill you and I don’t break my promises. If you hadn’t hid in Blood Moon forest, I would have killed you already.”

TianJiao knew TianXing had been hiding in Blood Moon forest to avoid being killed by her. Her father and brother had done their best to protect TianXing, going so far as preventing TianJiao from leaving the eastern countries and monitoring her every move. They sent people to capture and her bring her back every time she made it out. They were disappointed in her and thought she was inhumane for trying so hard to kill her own sister.

All their efforts allowed TianXing to freely move in Blood Moon forest for many years and give birth to a baby.

“Mother! You’ve hated and hounded me all these years because of what that woman said?! And now you’ve even chased me all the way here just to kill me. Sister TianJiao, you are as impulsive now as when you were child.

With such an unlovable temperament, it’s no wonder father and brother disliked you and only mother liked you.”

“You think I care whether they liked me or not?! After so many years I would have thought you’d understand.” TianJiao replied.

“You’ve only ever had that woman in your heart. You don’t care about anyone else.” TianXing shook her head and sighed; she wasn’t getting any pleasure out of the exchange. Using her father and brother as leverage didn’t work since her sister didn’t care what they thought.

“TianXing, that’s our mother you’re talking about. To actually call her ‘that woman’, if Father finds out, he will not forgive you.” Tianhang stood up with the support from Jier and Juntian.

“Mother! That woman was not my mother! What kind of mother would want to kill her own daughter? Even at death’s door, her last dying wish was for TianJiao to kill me.

It was a good thing you and father didn’t believe her words, otherwise I wouldn’t be alive today.”

Ming Xi and the others stood and listened, finally understanding a bit.

Apparently, the old lady of Feng house was ruthless and had ordered the eldest daughter to kill the second daughter. The mother actually wanted to kill her own daughter, not every woman could do that.

Even after reading the stars and seeing a disaster fated, how many women had the conviction to take matters into their own hands? She truly deserved to be the wife of head of house, not soft at all. If Old Man Feng, and Master Feng had been able to move as decisively, the situation today would never have been possible.

Ming Xi and the others sighed in their hearts. They never expected something as complicated as this could have happened within such a small family.

“Mother really left a dying wish for us to kill you!” Neither Tianhang nor his father had believed TianJiao when she said their mother dying wish was for TianXing’s death.

They thought it was a vicious lie TianJiao told because she didn’t want to share family affection with TianXing. They never expected TianJiao was telling the truth. Was it because they failed to believe TianJiao that things turned out this way?

Tianhang smiled wryly. So many innocent people would have been spared if they had killed TianXing early on. It was as Mother said, TianXing was the family’s star of misfortune.

“She said it. Didn’t TianJiao tell you? It was you that didn’t believe it.” From the start, her father and brother had stood in front of her and protected her. It had truly moved her heart, but ultimately it was just what her family owed her anyway.

She was also a daughter of the house, but somehow TianJiao was a daughter of heaven while she was a star of misfortune.

Since they all said she was a star of misfortune, then she was going to be the brightest star of misfortune they ever saw. She was going to destroy everything in the Feng family, just like what woman said. She would ruin it and show her!

“Yes, neither Father nor I believed it.” And now it was too late.

“Dear stop talking nonsense with them and just do it.” Nicolas was losing his patience with their conversation. These people were his daughter’s food. There was no reason to spend so much time talking to food.

“Of course, darling.” TianXing turned around and smiled affectionately at Nicolas.

Nicolas raised his head to call the bloods outside, but no matter how much he screamed, none came.

“What did you do?” Nicolas was certain there wasn’t a fight outside because he would have detected the smell of blood. The Blood clan was incredibly sensitive to blood so there was no way he would have failed to notice a fight.

“An enchantment so the blood outside can not tell what’s going on in here.” Ming Xi explained calmly.

“As expected of the future Ancient Silver Moon emperor; to erect such a strong barrier without alerting me.” Nicolas radiated killing intent.

The reaction was only natural. The Blood race had been trapped by behind such a barrier for tens of thousands of years and Nicolas had always hated it. Now here was Ming Xi daring to use such a barrier right in front of him.

“Xiao Wu, go back and take care of Uncle Feng.” Ming Xi patted Feng Wu’s head.

Feng Wu obediently nodded and walked to her father’s side.

With such a tense atmosphere, it was clear battle was about to break out.

TianJiao struck first with her long sword and the two sisters immediately clashed.

TianJiao’s talent was higher. She had not slacked off and had trained diligently year after year in order to kill TianXing. In fact, she was just as strong as Tianhang when it came to strength.

TianXing had lived in Blood Moon forest and fought against the Blood clan for many years. She had been baptized by blood and guided by a powerful master. She wasn’t weak and was only a little inferior to TianJiao.

It would take more than a simple battle for TianJiao to defeat TianXing.

At the same time, Nicolas’s main target was Ming Xi. It was only natural as Ming Xi was one of the four future emperors of the human world.

The instant that he did, Tian Ya stepped forward to intercept and to help Ming Xi fight the blood prince.

Ming Xi’s hand wasn’t completely healed yet, but in order to prevent the Blood race from flooding into the human world because of the damaged barrier in Blood Moon forest, he had to leave the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom and attend to Blood Moon forest. In the meantime his father was working to strengthen the seal in the Demon passageway.

Tianya knew about Ming Xi’s current condition, so he naturally stepped in using both ice sword and killing intents to protect Ming Xi from the blood prince. Tianya’s swordsmanship skill was apparent for anyone to see. The teachers even said he was the most talented sword user in school.

Blood princes were on par with humans at the saint level.[notes] But although Tian Ya and Ming Xi’s levels were not as high individually, when combined together, they were able to keep up.

Yanran and Aubre stared nervously at Jier while everyone else was fighting. He was the only able-bodied person who hadn’t made a move yet.

As the third seat in the fourth years, Aubre would normally not have been nervous fighting against Jier, who was only a second-year student, but with his injury, he was at a disadvantage. Afraid Jier would take the opportunity to attack Yanran, he preemptively pulled her away from the group.

Jier wasn’t interested in attacking Yanran and the others. Yanran had the potential to become a blood emperor but she was a scum. Aubre was seriously injured. Neither of them was worth him getting his hands dirty over.

Jier’s primary responsibility was to protect Feng Wu’s family, so he wasn’t going to take the initiative to attack.

TianJiao’s battle with TianXing was fierce; her moves were ruthless and permeated with killing intent. Her goal in life, since she was a young girl, had been to kill TianXing. To this end, she had sacrificed a lot and trained tremendously. Though her choices estranged her from her father and brother, she didn’t regret them.

TianXing had lived in the shadow of constant death from her mother and sister, so though she was greatly loved and doted on by her father and brother, she never felt at ease. She was always on guard against her sister. It was this insecurity that motivated her to polish her abilities and grow stronger.

Both women worked hard to be where they were today, and both were intent on killing the other. They jabbed and slashed ruthlessly and viciously at the each other’s vital organs.
