Caught in the sea of fire, Shi Mu's clothes had been burned away, revealing a strong body that seemed to be made of fine steel.
The surface of his dark skin has been wrapped by a layer of light red Qi for some time. Outside the Qi shield, there is also a layer of translucent white Qi Lingbi.
This was the defensive method Shi Mu used as quickly as possible just before he was overwhelmed by the flames, trying to resist the invasion of the surrounding fierce flames.
However, as soon as the Qi Ling Jing on the surface was formed, it was instantly dissolved and melted by the erosion of the fierce flames, and could not last for even a moment.
The light red true energy shield inside quickly became very thin and almost transparent under the burning flames.
Shi Mu felt as if he was in a blazing furnace, with rolling waves of fire coming from all directions. Every inch of his skin felt an indescribable burning pain.
If it weren't for the fact that he practiced fire-attribute skills and had extraordinary resistance and adaptability to the scorching heat, he would have been unable to hold on and would have fainted.
But even so, he began to feel that it was extremely difficult to breathe, and his eyes were a little blurry, but his left hand still held Zhong Xiu's hand firmly and did not let go.
"Xiu'er!"
Shi Mu felt excited in his heart, biting the tip of his tongue suddenly, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he raised his right hand, and immediately several blue talismans shot out from his hand and exploded immediately.
A large swath of light blue cold air surged out, rolling violently, and instantly condensed into a blue mist cocoon around Shi Mu, isolating the surrounding rolling flames from the outside.
Shi Mu felt the air around him cool down, and an indescribable feeling of refreshing coolness came over him.
However, this feeling only lasted for less than a breath. I saw flames surging around me, as if countless ferocious beasts opened their bloody mouths and continuously attacked from all directions. The surface of the blue mist cocoon made a "chichi" sound and quickly became thinner.
.
Before Shi Mu could make any other move, the blue mist cocoon cracked into pieces!
The blazing flames once again engulfed Shi Mu's body, and the thin layer of red zhenqi shield on his body became thinner and thinner, leaving only a layer as thin as a cicada's wings, barely covering Shi Mu's body.
All this may seem very long, but in fact it only lasted a few breaths after Zhong Xiu's body surface changed again.
At this moment, a deep dim light appeared on the surface of the black meteorite knife on Shi Mu's back. At the same time, an invisible suction force came from it, and wisps of flames actually separated from the rolling flames, like moths throwing into the fire.
Generally, they all changed directions and were submerged into the black knife.
Fierce flames engulfed Shi Mu's body, causing his skin to turn as red as fire.
Shi Mu felt severe pain all over his body, like a knife cutting him, as the power of fire poison invaded his body through the zhenqi shield on his body, seeping into his tendons.
Shi Mu gritted his teeth, and the beads of sweat on his forehead evaporated instantly the moment they appeared.
Shi Mu felt his vision go dark, and finally passed out.
But from beginning to end, his left hand kept holding Zhong Xiu's right hand, as if he was worried that he would lose the other person if he let go.
The blazing flames in the warehouse were still devouring everything mercilessly, and Shi Mu's skin became increasingly red.
Since the meteorite black sword absorbed part of the flames and was protected by the last layer of fire spirit energy, it could still barely keep its body from being scorched, but judging from the situation, it was obvious that it wouldn't last long.
On the other side, Zhong Xiu's body was also wrapped in fierce flames.
At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and the skin on her face that was originally Saixue now looked red, making her look even more delicate. However, her expression was obviously in pain, and her delicate body was trembling slightly, as if she was suffering from some kind of inhuman pain.
of pain.
At this moment, a black light flew out from somewhere on Zhong Xiu's body and floated in mid-air out of thin air.
In the black light, there is a black bead the size of a thumb, with circles of faint gold patterns engraved on its surface.
It was the bead that was given to me by the mysterious Monk Miaokong at the border of the ancient Xixia Kingdom in Dongzhou Continent.
After the bead just trembled, the golden patterns on its surface suddenly brightened up and started spinning rapidly, suddenly bursting out into circles of pale golden halo that spread in all directions.
An incredible scene appeared!
The raging flames burning all around seemed a little afraid of this pale golden halo, and a small space was opened up by this halo.
The next moment, a large black light emerged from the black beads. These black lights were clearly mysterious black runes, beating up and down in the pale golden halo.
As the black runes continued to appear, the black beads shrank rapidly visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared without a trace.
These black runes seemed to have received some kind of summons. After a flash of light, they quickly penetrated into Zhong Xiu's body below.
As for Zhong Xiu, every time a black rune sank into his body, the pain on his face became slightly lighter, and the red lines on his skin also faded a little.
At the same time, the scope of the fierce flames that originally filled the entire warehouse also shrunk a lot, and continued to move towards Zhong Xiu's location.
When all the black runes disappeared into Zhong Xiu's body, the pale golden halo that filled the surrounding area also dissipated.
However, most of the fierce flames that were raging throughout the warehouse now shrank back around Zhong Xiu, and a large flaming bird with spread wings formed out of thin air.
But this situation only passed in a flash. The next moment, the big flame bird roared and turned into a flaming feather coat, wrapping Zhong Xiu's body.
Beside Zhong Xiu, Shi Mu was still wrapped in the remaining flames, his skin was as red as fire, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.
At this moment, the void above the warehouse fluctuated.
A palm-sized ancient bronze mirror suddenly appeared across the sky.
The simple bronze mirror seemed to have spirituality. After sweeping the nearby void, it suddenly pointed the mirror at Zhong Xiu's location.
Just hearing a "chi-la" sound, golden light circulated on the mirror, and a pale golden light beam erupted from it.
Countless five-color runes rolled out of the light pillar. After a while, they gradually condensed into a somewhat blurry figure, which gradually became clearer.
But it was the shadow of a woman wearing a phoenix crown and five-color feathers.
This woman's eyes were golden, her face was beautiful, her whole body exuded a faint golden light, and she was filled with an indescribable aura of sanctity and inviolability.
The woman with the phoenix crown glanced at Zhong Xiu who was wrapped in flames on the ground as if she was sensing something, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and she murmured:
"In such a remote star field, there are actually people who can awaken the Tianfeng bloodline. It is really a gratifying thing! However, who predicted it in advance and took action to suppress the backlash of the bloodline? I am afraid that our family owes a big favor.
.”
The voice is gentle and beautiful, like the sound of nature.
But the next moment, the Fengguan woman's eyes fell on Zhong Xiu's side. After seeing Shi Mu who was lying on the ground hand in hand with Zhong Xiu, she frowned and blushed on her cheeks, but she immediately moved away.
He looked up, sneered and said:
"Hmph! A mere lowly human race dares to attempt to tarnish the bloodline of the Feng family. The crime is unforgivable and the only way out is death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman with the phoenix crown raised one hand, as if she wanted to do something.
But after taking a look at Zhong Xiu, the magic technique in the woman's hand changed. A ball of soft glow flew out from the sleeves of the robe and enveloped Zhong Xiu, causing his body to slowly rise into the air. Shi Mu, who was holding his right hand, also
Relaxed.
The flames all over Zhong Xiu's body struggled and trembled a few times in this soft glow, and then disappeared into the red lines on Zhong Xiu's body just like when they appeared. Only Shi Mu below was still wrapped in the flames.
After the flames submerged, the red lines on Zhong Xiu's body gradually faded and eventually disappeared.
Zhong Xiu was completely naked at the moment, her eyes were closed tightly, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, her fair and flawless skin showed a faint pink color, and she was breathing evenly, as if she was asleep.
Seeing this, the woman with the phoenix crown flashed a look of love in her beautiful eyes. She raised her hand again, and a piece of rosy clothes flew out, wrapping Zhong Xiu's body.
After doing all this, the Fengguan woman's face suddenly turned cold. With a flick of her finger, a golden flame flew out and merged silently into the red flame that was still burning on Shi Mu's body.
Whoop!
The originally burning crimson flame seemed to have shrunk a bit, but it instantly turned into a light golden color.
The originally thin fire spirit shield on Shi Mu's body instantly disappeared without a trace amid the pale golden flames.
Shi Mu let out a painful groan, and his beard and hair immediately turned to ashes. At the same time, his skin began to turn black, giving off a faint smell like barbecue.
After the phantom of the phoenix-crowned woman released the golden flame, she didn't know whether it was out of confidence in her own skills or disdain. She didn't look at Shi Mu again and pointed at the ancient bronze mirror in the air with one hand.
The surface of the ancient bronze mirror was filled with radiance, and a pale golden glow erupted from it. It caught Zhong Xiu suspended in the air, turned into a ball of golden light, and was absorbed into the bronze mirror.
Then, the phantom figure of the phoenix-crowned woman blurred for a while, and turned into dense five-color runes again. As the pale golden light beam was retracted, it also disappeared into the bronze mirror.
Then, like the Tathagata, the bronze mirror swayed slightly in the void, and suddenly disappeared out of sight.
The warehouse became quiet again.
The pale golden flame continued to burn, but if you look closely, you will find that there are faint wisps of flame seedlings, which were absorbed by the black meteorite knife behind Shi Mu.
The severe pain made Shi Mu recover a little bit of his consciousness. At this moment, he was still half asleep and half awake.
He only felt that his whole body was unbearably hot, and his whole body was in unbearable pain as if it was being torn apart. The flesh and blood in his body was boiling, as if it was about to burst out.
With the golden stars faintly appearing in the charred skin, the whole body is now like a charcoal person, and there is no longer an inch of intact skin.
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er..." Shi Mu began to mutter to himself subconsciously.
Soon, he couldn't feel any pain and fell completely into a coma.
The charred skin on his left hand has a faint silvery light. (To be continued.)
