14 The Blood princess
------------------
Two years later - The northern frontline of The Great Phoenix Empire Civil war.
------------------
In a war-torn city full of fire, smoke, and debris. Up upon the red sky colored by the flame of war, seven people are floating in the air. Five of them is a man in the same uniform of white and green cloth like they are from the same sect, They are surrounding a disheveled middle age man like they want to protect him from their opposition.
The last one is the silver-white hair woman in late teens she has luster white-jade skin and a gorgeous-goddess like face that hides behind the black mourning veil. She wore a black mourning dress like a widow but her eye behind the veil display only a deep-cold hatred upon a middle age man and her enemies in front of her.
"Tian Dong… I'll bring your head as a sacrifice to my husband soul. Prepared yourself."
At the end of her sentence, an unimaginable spirit pressure assault all of them and the girl body vanish without a trace.
"Here she comes! Activate the formation now!!!"
At the command of the middle age man in the middle. The ground below shook with the light from the formation pattern below shone out.
The sound of a silver hair girl palm strike thundered with the crack of the protective formation, the vast amount of the spirits qi from the striking divide equally and entered into all of the people that oppose her.
"Now!!"
As the middle age man command, all of the people that surround him cooperate with each other and strike at the girl in the same time from the different angle as the girl palm still stuck in the formation. With the enhanced power that they got from the girl spirits qi their battle power increase even more and they had full confidence that they could bring the girl down with their cooperation.
"If you want my power that much, then BE MY GUEST!!!"
The vast amount of spirits qi rush out from the girl's palm to the formation in a short time. Like ocean water that crushes through the damn during a tsunami, even the power divide into 5 part but it's enough to overload and destroys all of their spirits root.
"Arrrrgggghhhh" The cries of agony of the five experts aloud through the battlefield as their body inflated like a meat balloon.
"Have mercy your ladyship! Please! I have an importa…" One of the men quickly pleading for mercy but his voice just gone silent and died like a puppet that string had been cut. The girl notices this but promptly put it at the back of her mind, because she thought that he might die from the agony before he can even finish what he wanted to say.
"DIE!!" The girl immensely increased her spirits output and imploded all of her opponents.
As the five experts died the formation also explode from the overload of the spirits qi from the girl. Now there's only her enemy left alive Duke Tian Dong the one that she swore to herself that she would kill him.
Duke Tian Dong quickly turn back and try to escape, but it's too late. The girl spirits qi already has been locked on to him.
The sound of the solid object penetrating the flesh come to him along with the piercing pain on his back like someone pierce their hand into his spine.
"Tian Dong… you know what? I already asked the royal physician about my husband death, of how hurt would it be when he pierced his heart to give me his essence blood."
The beautiful but cold voice of the girl resound to his ear with the sharp pain from his back grew more intense by a second.
"And he said that The pain is unbearable for any mortal could endure, but he endured until his last breath to give me… his last GIFT!!"
"Arrrrrrggghhhhh"
As she says the last word, she tore Duke Tian Dong spine off along with his head.
The body of Duke Tian Dong fell down to the sea of flame below her along with all the hatred that accumulated within her these past two years. She's looking at the bloodied spine and head in her hand. Like all of her burden had been lifted a tear dropped from her beautiful eye without her knowing.
"At last… I had avenged you… Wushang…" She said with a smile while the black veil had open with by the strong wind and revealed the flawless goddess-like face of her. This girl is Tian Xiulan, the princess of The Great Phoenix Empire and the wife of Zhu Wushang.
------------------
Three days later - The Great Phoenix Empire Capital
------------------
In the night of the capital four silhouettes in black cloth running through above many tall and majestic building roof within the Capital. They seem to be very caution like every pace will have a deadly trap that can kill them even each of them has attained the cultivation of beyond Ascension realm.
"Are you certain that the silver hair demoness didn't stay in the capital tonight." One of the black cloth men asks his friend.
"I'm certain I get this information out of the boss of the underworld of this capital that I tortured myself." His friend answer in a prideful manner.
"Hmp! an ant like him dare to bargain the price with us The blood demon sect they deserve death." The first black cloth man agrees.
"Oh? What's this? Some upper realm rats?"
The cold and unemotional but sweet voice with the deep bloodlust resounds through all of their hearing sense.
The Fear of death struck their heart and the cold shiver spread through their body. They would never forget this cold and bloodlust sweet voice because they know who was the owner of this voice.
"Blood Princess!!" All of them exclaimed in panic and quickly looking at the direction of the voice.
"D… Didn't you already go out of the capital?" One of the Black cloth men asks and try to diverge the attention of a girl who was floating above them.
The girl in the black mourning dress with white-silver hair, her beautiful eye glaring at them from behind the black veil that hidden her goddess-like face.
"Yes I did, but I just came back from the front line to bring a gift to sacrifice at my husband grave."
When she said of her husband, she pats on the beautiful liquor wooden box in her bosom. The gorgeous smile appears on the lower face of her that didn't cover in the veil has captivated every black cloth men here. They gulped their saliva and tried to suppress the lust that is rising within them because they knew that this beauty is a dangerous blood-soaked and thorny rose that feeds on human corpses. The expert from the upper realm that she killed in the past two years can't be counted within hundreds. Thus they gave her the nickname "Blood Princess," and all the expert in the lower realm also use this name to describe her.
"So, Do you want to scram back to the upper realm or want to be buried here in the lower realm. Choose!"
She declares an ultimatum while looking at them with an icy unemotional eye like looking at a corpse unlike a moment ago when she said about her husband.
All of the black cloth men knew that the most logical choice is to retreat but to retreat against a lower realm native is a thing that would bring their reputation down even some of the sect that comes down to the lower realm already knew about Blood Princess strength. But the majority of them didn't know that and still have the superior mindset and think that anyone from the higher realm can oppress all life in the lower realm.
This mindset might be right if it was one and a half years ago. But after an appearance of the Origin God Blood even though the rest of the lower realm can be oppressed by the higher realm. But only at the Great Phoenix Empire. They cannot do the same.
"We're sorry Blood Princess, for having this uncivilized behavior in your capital. We'll go on our way." One of the black cloth men that looks like a leader of this team speaks in respect with a hand cupped. Then, he brings all of the black cloth men to fly out of the capital.
The girl in black looking at the direction of the black cloth men flew through with a boring look before shrugging and go on her ways.
------------------
The green plain - Outside of the Great Phoenix Empire Capital
------------------
The four black cloth men flew down to the forest border all of them sigh in relief except the one that looks like a youth in 20 that has an angry expression.
"Elder! Why do we need to retreat!? She just a young girl at the Ascension Advance stage!! and we have four people at beyond Ascension realm! Even she's a heaven-defying genius she can't win against us!"
The youth think about his encounter a moment ago and feel humiliated. She just a local girl of lower realm why did he need to retreat from her! If The Elder didn't do that he would have taught her a lesson.
The leader of the black cloth men remove his masked cowl and speak with the youth with respect tone.
"Young master Xue! You must not be rash. She's beyond our capabilities to fight against her."
Young master Xue seems to be awakened from his humiliated anger. He then tries to calm himself and asks.
"Why? Is she strong enough to win against 4 of us?" Young master Xue scorn.
The Elder sigh in disappointment in the shortsightedness and the temper of this future sect master.
"Young master Xue, Don't you read the information of this mission to you? This Blood princess drank the Origin God Blood. Her body and physic had evolved to the higher state, and Her potential had awoken! Her cultivation might be lower than us, but she has the battle power equal to the half-step Demigod!!"
Young master Xue inhales the cold air and cold sweat coming out profusely. He nearly provokes the demigod expert!!. Which mean she has battle power equal to his father!! The patriarch of the Blood Demon sect!.
"This... " He is speechless and sighs in relief. He's thanking this sect elder in his heart for his quick action to bring them out. Otherwise... He might be buried here forever and no one could help him because of the strongest cultivation that could come to the lower realm is only at the Basic Grade Of the Spirits Celestial cultivation realm which equals to the weakest elder of The Blood Demon sect.
"That Origin God Blood is very Magical; I never thought that the treasure like this is born in this lower realm. Elder do you know where and how this princess get her hand on this great treasure?" The other black cloth men praised and asked the elder about the blood.
"Um.. according to the information I got. This Blood princess marries the man that has this blood in his vein, and she gets it from him as a dowry."
Every black cloth man laughed when they heard until now.
"Oh, She's a bitch that sold herself for power, well, It's not like I do not understand if I'm a woman I'd marry him too!" One of the Black cloth men said
The Elder look at the eye of the one who said with admonishing before continuing.
"But that man born with a cripple body, He doesn't have a Spirits root. He'd died after fighting with the outer disciple of Illusory Immortal Palace. That's why this Blood Princess hates the Illusory Immortal Palace very much."
Young master Xue heard that he then quickly ask in curiosity.
"Wait, Elder, The Outer disciple of Illusory Immortal Palace is at least peak Ascension or a Half-step Celestial right? Why the cripple with no cultivation can kill him?"
The Elder then look at Young master Xu seriously and tell him.
"He concocts a plan to kill that guy while that guy enjoys the feeling of his evolution. His spirits root going into hibernation, his body devoid of any spirits qi at that time he stabs him with the tainted Origin God Blood. That man died from the retaliation of that Outer disciple, but The Outer disciple died from insanity after he goes on a rampage."
The elders stop for a bit then continue.
"Young Master Xue. I want you to learn from him. He has no power like an ant that's true but, He uses his wisdom and intelligence to overcome it. He is the testament that Absolute power can be overcome with a flawless plan and the right tool. If you can learn from this, I'm sure that one day you can lead our Blood Demon sect to greatness like the time of our Ancestor founder."
The youth sigh in helplessness. It's not that he doesn't want to learn it's just that he doesn't suit to learn something so deep like politic or scheming tactics. He just a hot temper idiot that loves to battle.
Unknown to them, all of their conversations was eavesdrop by the Blood Princess they're talking about. She's deciding whether or not to annihilate them because she didn't have any grudge against The Blood Demon sect.
Yes, She is Tian Xiulan or Xiao Lan the eldest princess of The Emperor Tian Xiang of The Great Phoenix Empire. She looks at the Blood Demon sect for a while before deciding not to annihilate them.
Unknown to her, this decision of her had given her husband a loyal and fiercest general in his faction in the future.
