Chapter 147: Bathing in Fire
Even the sweat was evaporated, and Phantom Wu only felt that the blood in his body was about to dry up.
Only the ice crystals in his palms were still exuding a hint of coolness, and there was a little ice blue light between his fingers.
There are also people who ...... Waiting for her.
She must have thought in her heart, lying her entire upper body on Bai Feng's back, staring straight down at the sea of fire with a pair of eyes facing down.
"Ji Hua, I only have one ice crystal, if I drop it this time, the road behind it will depend on you. Phantom Wu said these words with difficulty, and the heat poured into his throat, which seemed to ignite his heart.
Ji Hua turned his head sideways, and his big eyes reflected a phantom face.
Phantom let go of her fingers, and the ice crystals slid out like a shining meteor, falling towards the most concentrated location of the fire-weary beasts.
The fire-weary beasts roared, and the front row quickly retreated, and the fire-weary beasts on the periphery had no time to avoid it, and were directly knocked down by their companions.
At this moment, Ji Hua flew to the other end at the fastest speed, and the scene on the opposite shore was in front of him.
Phantom tried to look up, wanting to see Changjue's figure for the first time.
But when she could see the people on the other side through the red light, her smile froze.
Chang Jue and Ji Ming fought for some reason, and both of them were surrounded by swirling air pressure, and the flames were brought up, like a fire dragon flying into the sky.
Ji Ming's face was also very serious, Phantom Wu had never seen him so focused on his expression, and it seemed that he felt struggling with the battle chief.
Chang Jue had his back to the edge of the cliff, and Phantom Wu couldn't see his face, but his moves were so powerful that the clouds were completely enlarged, and they looked redder than the flames.
Seeing that the red blade was about to be split from the top of Ji Ming's head, Ji Ming didn't dodge, just curled his lips and smiled.
Seeing it in his eyes, his heart instantly lifted. A silver ray shot out from the left side, and Phantom opened her mouth, but she couldn't hear her own voice.
Her eyes widened, and she could only see the clouds falling to the ground, and her body was stunned, and she suddenly fell backwards.
Behind him was a raging flame, and tongues of fire burst up, instantly igniting the long robe.
Phantom Wu couldn't hear anything, and the world suddenly stopped making a sound. She suddenly stood up and threw herself forward directly from behind Ji Hua.
All this was just a momentary thing, and before Ji Hua could react a little to Changjue's fall from the cliff, he felt a light on his back.
The reaction of the body was the fastest, Ji Hua pressed his body against the flames, grabbed the belt of Phantom Wu with his claws, and threw it to the shore, and Phantom Wu was thrown to the shore by him.
But his tail was already burning, and the flames instantly burned the white feathers to ashes, and he tried to fly upwards with his flapping wings, but the flames were like a pair of hands pulling him down.
"Ji Hua!" Phantom screamed and lunged at him, she couldn't watch the other disappear in front of her anymore.
Phantom Wu only had time to see Ji Hua's incomparably clear and translucent eyes looking at her, and she felt a sudden pain in the back of her neck, and she didn't know anything.
Darkness has a magical power, and when it envelops you completely, if you obey, you will experience a peace that you have never experienced before, but if you struggle, the darkness brings an infinite pressure, as if it can break you apart in an instant.
Feeling that her heart and lungs had been shattered, Phantom opened her eyes and clutched her chest to gasp.
But the more rapid the wheezing, the more obvious the stinging pain in the throat.
This tingling sensation instantly pulled back her memory, the scorching mountainside, the beautiful sacred tree, and the sea of fire that devoured Changjue and Jihua.
There was a sudden pain in her chest, as if someone was grabbing her heart and trying to pull it out.
Phantom's eyes darkened, and he fainted again.
"Ah Jue...... Be careful...... Don't!" Phantom struggled to wake up again, and it had been several days.
Seeing a black curtain, she turned her face sideways to look up at a ray of light on the groundβa small window from which a bluish-white moonlight shone in.
It was a strange place, poorly furnished, with only a small window, and the wall opposite the window had a closed iron door, and the whole room looked more like a cell.
Phantom sat up, she felt her body weak, as if all her strength had been burned out in the fire.
Fire...... Phantom Wu shook his head, no, he will never die! He is a phoenix, can't a phoenix bathe in fire?
She can't be locked up here!Phantom Wu stood up with her feet propped up on the bed and walked towards the iron door. As soon as he took a few steps, his knees were weak, and Phantom Wu threw himself forward directly, and his body threw himself on the iron door, making a "bang" sound.
Phantom Wu fell with gold stars in his eyes, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
"It's all like this, why is there so much movement?" a voice came from overhead.
When Phantom Wu looked up, he saw that the iron plate on the upper part of the iron door had been pulled open, revealing a square opening the size of a head, and he was looking down at her through that opening.
Phantom Wu didn't show a hint of surprise, just glared at him fiercely.
Ji Ming smiled, opened the iron door and walked straight in.
He had barely entered the room when he was slammed against the side wall by the phantom. Phantom Wu tugged at the hem of his clothes and yelled at him hoarsely, "Ah Jue?!"
Although Ji Ming was pressed by her, how could the little strength of Illusory Wu really suppress him, but the whole person of Illusory Wu had no strength, and he could only stand by sticking to Ji Ming.
Ji Ming could push her away as soon as he stretched out his hand, but he didn't, so he just let Phantom Wu push him against the wall, looking down at Phantom's face.
"You speak!" the words seemed to be torn out of the throat, as if with a hint of blood. After saying this, Phantom Wu coughed violently.
"You're burned by the fireworks, it's not like your throat is scrapped, it's better to save your energy and don't yell. β
Phantom Wu looked at Ji Ming's indifferent face, and only felt extremely resentful, and he wanted to bite it.
"Don't look at me so fiercely, it's not cute at all. β
"Where is the others?!" Phantom Wu didn't care what he said, he just asked him this question like crazy. Her hand gripped at Jiming's collar tightly, and several of her nails were broken because it was so used.
The smile on his face gradually retracted, and his eyes became cold.
If she had been a phantom before, she would have been scared, but now she can't care about anything.
Ji Ming said expressionlessly: "Do you care about him so much? Isn't that Bai Feng also buried in the fire to save you, why didn't you ask him?"
Buried in the sea of fire? The picture of Bai Feng being engulfed by flames suddenly appeared in front of his eyes again, and the eyes that reflected his face appeared again - "No, it won't! You lied to me!"
Phantom Wu let go of Ji Ming, staggered back a few steps, and fell directly to the ground.
"Lie to you, do you think any phoenix can be reborn from the fire?" Ji Ming looked at him condescendingly, at this time, he wanted a god who overlooked all living beings.
In the eyes of this god, only Phantom Wu looked down on one person.
He stared directly at Phantom, not knowing what expression he wanted to see on her face to be satisfied.
This question may not even be understood by himself, and in the end he just tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Don't worry, the person you care about the most is not dead." He is a phoenix of the five elements, how can he be burned to death by fire? The phoenix can be reborn from the fire to become a real phoenix. β
Ji Ming suddenly laughed, as if he was really excited, and even his eyes burst into light: "The previous growth was just a fledgling, but now he is a phoenix." β
It's okay for a long time...... Phantom Wu coughed and asked, "He, ahem, where is he?"
"Trust me, you won't want to see him at this time. Aren't you just worried about whether he's dead or not? Now that you have the answer, you can rest here and recuperate. She didn't give her a chance to continue questioning, and left quickly, the iron door closed again, and the whole room was lit only by the square light.
Phantom closed her lips tightly, trying not to gasp heavily, and the burning pain in her throat became heavier.
Her heart was half down, but half was still lifted. There was no need to lie to her, he said that Chang Jue was not dead, so he should really not be dead, but what did he mean by his last words? Could it be that Ah Jue was injured?
There is also Ji Hua...... He hadn't returned to his clan to avenge his father, but he had died in the fire because of himself?
The white phoenix, how beautiful it is, but Phantom Wu can only recall the picture of the white feather gradually being burned black, as if every picture has slowed down in front of her eyes.
She sat against the wall, her head buried deep in the crook of her arm, and she couldn't sleep all night.
Jiming never came back after that, and Phantom Wu didn't know that he had been locked up for a few days. The moonlight was still clear, but the light from the day was almost as bright as the light at night.
I don't know where I am, and the sunlight looks like a white cloth, and it looks bleak and thin.
At first, Phantom wanted to climb up and look out through the window, but there was not even a cushion in this room except for the bed. Phantom Wu stood below, stared at the window for a few days, and then didn't hold on any longer.
His mind also became a little sluggish, and his body was easily tired, so he simply slept for several days.
She wasn't too worried about her situation, since she had been arrested, it meant that she was still useful to Jiming, although she didn't know what he wanted her to do, but she shouldn't be locked up all the time.
But what Phantom didn't expect was that the second person who came to see him turned out to be Xinsu.
Xinsu didn't walk in like Jiming, but just talked to himself through the iron door through the square hole.
"Are you a clear person?" Phantom Wu didn't speak for a long time, and although her voice was still very hoarse, the burning pain was much better.
Xinsu didn't go around in circles with her, and admitted it directly.
Phantom: "I don't understand. β
"I don't understand what? I don't understand why I'm with Ji Ming, or why I'm coming to you at this time?"
Phantom Wu shook his head: "I don't understand, since you have a good impression of Changjue, why did you want to harm him?"
