Chapter 17: A Line Separates Good From Evil (Part 3 of 4)

In the middle of the Heavenly Erily She lifted up her right hand and was about to hit the top of my head

In the very last moment, I heard a sharp cry, ”Jin Mi!”

I lifted up h the wall of fire as if it was nothing I was losing uished looking figure, he was crying for me with such loss and alarm it was as if he had lost his own soul

The Heavenly Empress quickly retreated, ”Phoe” before she could finish, a ray of light flashed across and hit her straight in the back There was an anguished sound of pain, as if she was hit by a huge force, she held her chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood

As she instinctively kept her palm to protect her own pulse, the red lotus fire that was pressing down on my head disappeared - I could finally take in a breath of air again, I narrowedand thin coquettish eyes looking back at nised the person and ain, this person had told , ”Jin Mi, I think, there will finally be a day when I will kill you”

Looks like I was fated to die at the hands of this pair of mother and son I tolerated the pain inue, in a ushed out ofonto the floor lost its last strength, my body finally completely collapsed to fulfill both of their wishes

Dead

For a very long while, the silence was eerie

”Jin Mi?” Phoenix lightly asked - as if his breath was caught in his throat, it was so light and wispy, like his pulse was blocked, his heart had stopped, hanging on a thread After a moment of silence, I heard him say in a manner that could not be more calm and simple, ”You killed her”

He spoke in a th, but it contained a coldness that would seep into the marrows of your bone and chilled your very insides Even oosebumps

The Heavenly Ehed, it was not clear if it was due to her injury or a little sense of guilt, but the sound was not stable In a ained her consciousness and scolded, ”For this demoness, you hit your own mother?!”

I felt a cold wind brush across me, I did not know if it was because the fire had subsided, but my consciousness slowly became clearer, I suddenly realised that indeed what had struck the Heavenly Empress' back was Phoenix's feather, so it was Phoenix that had saved me and even hurt the Heavenly Empress I could not understand this

”Yes, I had hit you because of her, but, I had only hit to stop you,” The voice continued to be s water, but it seemed to be hollow and empty, ”But mother, why did you so cruelly sent Jin Mi to her death?”

”Move away,” Phoenix's tone was so cold it was frightening

”You!” The Heavenly Ery to her very limits, ”What kind of attitude is this?! You talked to your mother in this way?! What'sher death?”

I was alarht I could fake my death to escape this calamity, if this cruel and vicious Heavenly E I had faked my death, then I will truly be dead The Heavenly Empress scoffed, ”Since she is dead, what use is her corpse?” I felt a fiery wave of flaian

Phoenix did not answer I only felt the air in the surroundings start to change, at first only small bits of sand started to fly, then stones, and suddenly it was a wild turbulent wind, I did not openin the eye of the ith his robes flapping upwards, his face cold, his eyes downcast, his hands enclosed together, his lips were tightly pressed as heflash of golden light, as if it was the first ray that escaped the dark night and immediately attacked towards the Heavenly Empress

The Heavenly Empress did not expect Phoenix will really attack her, she quickly kept the flames and created a boundary to protect herself, and at the sa been agitated by her own son, she actually gave out her own attack to receive Phoenix's

Although I sensed the strength of her attack was not enough to hurt Phoenix,pain, and my mind became blank

”Tu Yao!” Phoenix and the Heavenly E and in thedeep voice full of divine energy broke through It spoke in disbelief and deep disappointment It was none other than the Heavenly Emperor
