Chapter 180, Hibiscus Branches
"What should I do? Senior Hua is about to be surrounded by the space cracks?"
Xia Xue looked at the fire lotus at the bottom of the valley anxiously, which was getting smaller and smaller. Hua Changxi was sitting cross-legged in the center of the fire lotus.
Xia Yang showed regret on his face: "I shouldn't have said that Senior Hua was a selfish person who only cared about himself." If Senior Hua hadn't knocked them away in time, they would have been swallowed up by the space crack by now.
Baili Changfeng also sighed: "What a pity..."
The Vermillion Bird Totem, not everyone can activate it!
Just when the master and his two disciples thought that Hua Changxi was doomed to die, something unexpected happened. The long sword surrounded by the Great Sun Divine Flame suddenly vibrated and began to retreat, like a kite in the sky that was about to be pulled back.
As the Floating Light Sword lost its power, the wings of the Vermillion Bird Spirit Shadow spread out, and then flapped both wings together, blowing the Floating Light Sword back and attacking the Fire Lotus directly.
Xia Xue exclaimed: "Master, what happened? Could it be that the sword cannot kill the Suzaku Spirit Shadow, so it will attack and kill Senior Hua?"
Baili Changfeng was also a little uneasy at this moment: "Jian didn't go to kill Senior Hua, but was called back."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yang and Xia Xue were stunned.
Xia Yang: "How is that possible? Master, didn't you say that Senior Hua couldn't control the Great Sun Divine Flame? Then how could she recall the sword?"
Baili Changfeng didn't say anything because he didn't know what was going on.
At the bottom of the valley, in the center of the fire lotus, Hua Changxi bit her lips in pain. Because she bit too hard, blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
At this moment, she was enduring unimaginable pain. In the Dantian Qi Sea, the seven strands of strange fire successfully merged into the Great Sun Divine Flame. The appearance of the Great Sun Divine Flame directly made the Qi Sea become turbulent.
When suppressing the seven strange fires, the Five Finger Mountain Seal was still able to hang steadily in the air. However, after generating the Great Sun Divine Flame, the Five Finger Mountain Seal could no longer suppress it, and began to jump up and down and sway left and right, looking unable to resist.
The waves, one higher than the other, kept hitting Hua Changxi's dantian, making him feel that his dantian was about to be shattered.
What's worse is that the temperature of the Great Sun Divine Flame is too high, and the fire spirit in the sea of qi is being evaporated quickly.
Hua Changxi gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain like her dantian exploding. At this moment, she was not completely desperate. The moment she merged with the Great Sun Divine Flame, she felt that her connection with the Floating Light Sword became closer, and she immediately controlled the Floating Light Sword back into her hand.
Things were not going well at the beginning, as the Floating Light Sword was unwilling to be recalled. However, after the Floating Light Sword was hit hard by the Suzaku Spirit Shadow, the resistance on the Floating Light Sword was reduced a lot, and under her forced summoning, it returned to her hands soon.
The moment he held the Floating Light Sword, Hua Changxi said nothing, flew out of the Fire Lotus, and rushed into the space crack like lightning.
"Ah~"
Seeing Hua Changxi rushing into the space crack, Xia Yang and Xia Xue were so scared that they screamed. Even Baili Changfeng couldn't help but let out an "ah".
"What is Hua Senior going to do?"
"She wants a branch from the sacred Fusang tree."
Baili Changfeng guessed that Hua Changxi must have fused with the Great Sun Divine Flame, so she was able to call back the sword, but her body could not withstand the Great Sun Divine Flame at all, so she could only risk everything to break into the space crack and seize the branch of the Fusang sacred tree.
Xia Xue murmured, "Senior Hua, aren't you afraid of being cut into pieces by the space crack? Even if you manage to avoid it, you will probably get lost in the space crack."
Baili Changfeng had a complicated expression. Hua Changxi had fused the Great Sun Divine Flame. He certainly didn't want to see outsiders possess the precious flame of the Saint Qi Palace, but he also admired her determination to face death. Sure enough, the cultivators who had cultivated to the Infant Realm at this stage were all ruthless!
Xia Yang exclaimed: "The space crack is disappearing."
Without the Floating Light Sword, the temperature in the Tang Valley dropped drastically, and the shadow of the Vermillion Bird also faded rapidly. Without the huge force generated by the collision between the two, the space began to regain stability, and the space cracks naturally began to disappear.
Xia Xue said anxiously: "Without the space crack, Senior Hua won't be able to get out?"
"Hey~"
Baili Changfeng sighed again. Rushing into the space crack was really a gamble with his life.
In Tang Valley, as the shadow of the Vermillion Bird faded, the fire spirit energy emanating from the ground also decreased. The red mist in the sight of Master Baili Changfeng and his two disciples became thinner and thinner. At the same time, the black cracks became fewer and fewer.
When the phantom of the Vermillion Bird completely dissipated, the red fog in the valley bottom had become very thin, and the valley bottom returned to its previous grayness. Master Changfeng and his two disciples could no longer see the space cracks.
Xia Xue said in a low voice: "The space crack has completely disappeared. Senior Hua... a Nascent Soul cultivator is gone just like that."
Xia Yang sighed: "Senior Hua really shouldn't have rushed into the space crack."
Baili Changfeng sighed again: "Meeting is fate. You and I, as master and disciple, can meet someone like Senior Hua..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Xue's scream interrupted him.
Xia Xue pointed to the bottom of the valley excitedly: "Master, look quickly."
At the bottom of the valley, a thin red fog was violently surging and shaking. A point of white light appeared in the center of the red fog. Then, a white sword tore a hole in the red fog like prying open a closed door. Then, Hua Changxi, covered in blood, squeezed out of the hole.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xue exclaimed in surprise: "It's Senior Hua, she made it out alive!"
Baili Changfeng didn't expect that Hua Changxi could still come out even though the space cracks were closed. He was really shocked. Moreover, the Great Sun Divine Flame on the long sword in her hand had disappeared, which meant that she had obtained the branch of the Fusang Divine Tree and could completely control the sword.
When Xia Xue saw Hua Changxi fall to the ground and not move after he came out of the space crack, she immediately said, "Master, Senior Hua seems to be injured. Let's go over and take a look."
Baili Changfeng said "hmm", took his two disciples to the bottom of the valley, and quickly came to Hua Changxi.
At this time, the black robe on Hua Changxi had disappeared, and the light blue robe was covered with dense bloodstains. The exposed skin was covered with long and thin cracks. Hua Changxi now looked like cracked porcelain.
Seeing that she was so badly injured, Xia Yang and Xia Xue looked at Baili Changfeng anxiously.
Baili Changfeng thought of the many times Hua Changxi had rescued the three of them, and said to Xia Yang, "Carry Senior Hua on your back, and let's go to the hot spring bath. Senior Hua has subdued the Great Sun Divine Flame, and soaking in the hot spring bath should be able to repair the damage to her body."
Xia Yang obeyed the order and carried Hua Changxi on his back.
"Senior Hua looks a little young."
"Cultivators already look older, and if they take some beauty pills, they will naturally look younger. Senior Hua is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he must be at least a hundred years old, if not hundreds of years old."
"Remember, you two, when facing a monk, don't be fooled by appearance."
The master and his two disciples were talking as they looked for the hot spring bath. It was their first time in Tang Valley, and it took them some effort to finally find the hot spring bath with Hua Changxi.
