Zither Emperor Chapter 432 Chapter 133 Phoenix Slaughter Part 2_1

432: Chapter 133 Phoenix Slaughter (Part 2)_1 432: Chapter 133 Phoenix Slaughter (Part 2)_1 “I killed them, just because I wanted a fair duel with you.

Is that reason enough?” Black Phoenix said coldly.

Ye Yinzhu paused, then gave a bitter smile, “But, you even your own brother…”

“Brother?” Black Phoenix laughed, this time with a scornful smile, but her mockery wasn’t directed at Ye Yinzhu.

Her gaze drifted to the ground below, to the lifeless body of Samoye lying in a pool of blood.

“What do you think was the relationship between him and me?”

Ye Yinzhu was stunned, he hadn’t expected Black Phoenix to ask him such a question.

After hesitating, he said, “It seems rather disharmonious.”

“Haha.

Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.

You fool.

Our relationship was far from just being disharmonious.” Black Phoenix laughed again, but her once inparably beautiful smile looked somewhat painful to Ye Yinzhu.

“Do you know why Samoye hated me so much?” Black Phoenix asked again.

Ye Yinzhu shook his head.

With a cold smile and a cruel arc at the corner of her mouth, Black Phoenix said, “Because I made him lose the thing that made him a man.

When I was ten, I castrated him.”

“What?” Ye Yinzhu couldn’t have imagined such an answer.

For a moment, he was pletely stunned.

“You’ve probably heard what he called me.

He called me a bastard.

My mother was just a palace maid.

After a drunken episode, my father accidentally slept with my mother who was of age to leave the palace.

My mother gave birth to me outside.

Later, my father summoned me back to the Imperial Palace.

By then, my mother was already dead.

In the palace, I was treated worse than even a servant.

From the day I entered the Imperial Palace, I only saw my father twice.

Samoye, that beast.

I was only ten when he tried to rape me.

Cursing me as a little bastard, trying to defile me.”

“What?” Ye Yinzhu’s heart was pletely shaken.

His slight misunderstanding had transformed into intense abomination at that moment.

Looking down at Samoye’s corpse, he couldn’t imagine that things were actually like this.

Although this was just Black Phoenix’s side of the story, Ye Yinzhu could feel the desolation, bitterness, helplessness, and resentment contained in her calm voice.

“When I thought I was going to die, my teacher appeared.

He showed up just as this beast was about to violate me.

My teacher saw the hatred and death in my heart.

He asked me what I wanted to bee his disciple.

I told my teacher that I wanted Samoye to live a life worse than death.

So, my teacher gave me a knife, held my hand, and guided me to cut off his filthy thing, making him lose the ability to be a man and any possibility of inheriting the throne, but he did not kill him.

After that, I left with my teacher.

When I returned to Landias years later, my father, the Emperor of Landias, seemed regretful, as if he felt very guilty towards me, wanting to acknowledge me as his daughter again, but I knew, if not for my strength, he wouldn’t look at me at all.

Samoye hated me to the bone, wishing he could kill me.

My teacher taught me to nip all dangers in the bud.

He wanted to kill me, fine, I killed him first.”

Ye Yinzhu looked at Black Phoenix with a touch more sympathy in his eyes, and said somberly, “So the Royal Family is that corrupt.

Forget these unpleasant things.

It’s all in the past.”

“Forget?

If I could really forget, I wouldn’t be Black Phoenix today.

Do you know how much I’ve given to gain such power today?

After the ranking battle of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons, if I’m still alive, there’s too much I need to repay.

My hands are already stained with blood.

Do you think everything can be forgotten?

Enough talk, let’s start.

I can feel your progress, but even so, it will be hard for you to defeat me.

Let’s have a fair fight and end this ridiculous ranking battle.”

Black Phoenix looked at Ye Yinzhu, and he also looked at her, their eyes locked.

In Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, Black Phoenix looked so alone, standing silently on the branch with her slender body radiating a pitiable charm.

Even though her eyes were still tinged with the Breath of Death from the earlier killings, Ye Yinzhu felt no aversion; at that moment, there was no desire to fight in his heart, instead wanting to indulge in pity for this poor woman.

He didn’t know why, but Black Phoenix’s gaze broke through the defenses not even Haiyang or Xiang Luan could penetrate.

Deep in Ye Yinzhu’s heart, although he himself didn’t know, what he was experiencing was that feeling of love at first sight.

In Black Phoenix’s vision, Ye Yinzhu’s gaze had bee much deeper than before, but in her eyes, he was still so foolishly naive.

She sighed inwardly, Fool, you fool.

You still can’t recognize who I am.

Was my past disguise really that successful?

You really are adorably foolish!

I killed Black Dragon Jones and Eddy, killed Samoye, killed all the elite warriors of Landias, just so you wouldn’t have to stain your hands with more blood.

I’ve already bee like this, so what does it matter if I stain myself with some more blood?

Ye Yinzhu, do you know what I told Eddy in the end?

I told him that it was because they threatened the person I love, that’s why I had to kill them.

Fool, fool, you big fool!

The gentle breeze swept through the Domain of the Giant Trees, carrying the enchanting fragrance of the plants into one’s nostrils; it was indescribably forting.

The faint scent gradually erased the pungent smell of blood.

The two who stood face to face, about to mence their duel, found their fighting spirit not rising but rather gradually diminishing.

Just standing there, looking at each other, no one spoke a word, no one showed any intention of making the first move.

They were both feeling the rare tranquility, as well as the gaze of the other.

After a long while, it was Ye Yinzhu who couldn’t bear it any longer, for he had realized that he truly did not want to fight with Black Phoenix, much less to kill.

However, facing such a formidable assassin as Black Phoenix, if he did not give it his all, he knew that there was no possibility of victory for him.

“Must we really fight?”

Black Phoenix gave Ye Yinzhu a deep look, “If you don’t want to make a move, then leave on your own accord, and let me secure the final victory in the battle of the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons.”

Ye Yinzhu shook his head.

“No, I cannot just walk away like this.

Although I do not wish to fight with you, for this battle, so many of my brothers have died or been injured.

If I were to give up now, how could I face the precious lives they lost in this ranking battle?”

Black Phoenix’s gaze grew colder, “Then make your move.

It’s better to start early and end early.

If you don’t strike first, then I will.” As her voice fell, Black Phoenix moved.

Ye Yinzhu only felt a chilly wind hit his face, and he instinctively leaped up, cradling his zither in his left hand and rapidly plucking the strings of the Desolate Dragon Yin’s Zither with his right.

A deep explosive reverberate sounded out, utilizing the moment of Black Phoenix’s delay in mid-air, he shifted his position and landed atop another large tree.

Black Phoenix did not pursue, standing at the position Ye Yinzhu had been at before, “Your strength has indeed improved.

Originally, your Explosive Reverberate couldn’t affect me this way.

Unexpectedly, in this Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle, you’ve actually reached the true Zi rank.

But if it’s just that, you’re still not strong enough to overe me.

Since I came to know of your existence through Sura, did you think I would e unprepared?” While saying this, a flash of light shone from her hand, and a milky white metal plate appeared in her palm.

The metal plate was very small, no larger than a thumbnail with a faint halo that shimmered white, but it was not imbued with Brightness.

Within the whiteness, there were faint traces of Silver Light flickering.

“Spiritual Magic products?” Ye Yinzhu curiously looked at the magic plate in Black Phoenix’s hand.

Black Phoenix nodded, slowly pressed the magic plate to her brow.

In a flash of light, the magic plate adhered directly to that spot above her eyes.

Ye Yinzhu distinctly felt as if a layer of something had enveloped Black Phoenix.

Black Phoenix said indifferently, “This is a rather mon Divine Artifact, which in the hierarchy of artifacts is deemed as lower grade.

Its name is the Sound-Blocking Divine Seal.

Although its role among Divine Artifacts is minor, it’s perfect for dealing with a Divine Music Master like you.

It can’t help me filter sounds, but it can filter for my spirit.

Thus, no matter how exquisite your zither music, how powerful your Explosive Reverberate, from now on, all I will hear is mere sound, with no effect whatsoever.

You might as well put away your zither.”

As her voice fell, Black Phoenix was already rising up with a series of afterimages, almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Yinzhu felt the cold gleam of her attack.

He knew Black Phoenix would not deceive him; if the Sound-Blocking Divine Seal truly could shield the spirit from sound, then his most prideful zither music would indeed lose its effect.

Ye Yinzhu did not know that the Sound-Blocking Divine Seal was initially a defective creation by a powerful alchemist who intended to counter a Mental Mage.

Originally, its purpose was to block Spiritual Magic, but alas, the alchemist failed, and instead created this unorthodox Divine Artifact.

Ye Yinzhu did not put away his Dragon Breath Zither; seeing Black Phoenix approaching in his direction, his body swayed, instantly creating countless afterimages in place, a green light drifted out, carrying specks of green, meeting Black Phoenix’s approach.
