Chapter 58: Little Thief, You Just Wait for Me

There is only one chance; after all, in this current body of a novice, it is very easy to be crushed into dust.

Cheng Xi gathered all the Spirit Essence within her body to her fingertips, formed a Talisman at the fastest speed, and shouted, "Break!"

The other Chain binding the axe instantly split open. She immediately lunged at it, the fresh blood from her fingertips overflowing into the axe body, and a bond formed in Cheng Xi's mind.

She grasped the Giant Axe and cleaved through the void; space instantly twisted and fractured, and she, along with the axe, fell rapidly.

In just that fleeting moment, both the Chongming Bird and the Fire Phoenix were startled; neither had expected that there was actually a third person here!

The axe was the Fire Phoenix's prey, and the Fire Phoenix was the Chongming Bird's prey. Naturally, neither would let their prey be snatched away by someone else, so they instantly poured down, pressing toward Cheng Xi.

The Fire Phoenix's flames came attacking, covering the sky and earth. The intense fire made Cheng Xi's whole body sting. She held the axe horizontally in front of her to block the flames, while her other hand quickly drew an Acceleration Talisman and plunged into the void crack.

Cheng Xi and the axe were instantly swallowed by the rift. In a fit of rage, the Fire Phoenix dove in before the gap closed. The Chongming Bird's body was too massive to enter the crack; the crack vanished, and it lunged at nothing.

"Little thief! You just wait for me!" the Chongming Bird cursed in extreme rage.

Very well, I have memorized your aura!

Even to the ends of the earth, I will drag you out, peel your skin and dismantle your bones, extract your soul and refine your spirit, so you can never reincarnate!

Unfortunately, Cheng Xi could no longer hear it.

Fierce winds raged in the void, cutting the skin like knives. Cheng Xi used her last bit of Spirit Essence to cleave open another gap, wrapping the axe as she rushed out from the other side of the rift.

Following closely behind her was a fiery red figure, faster than her, slamming fiercely into the axe.

The axe had already been claimed by her blood. Although Cheng Xi's current physical strength was that of a novice, her combat awareness was extremely advanced. She gripped the axe tightly, gathered all her strength, and clashed fiercely with the Fire Phoenix.

Cheng Xi's body could not withstand it; she spat out a mouthful of blood, her vision went black, and she fainted in an instant.

It seemed someone was speaking beside her. Cheng Xi wanted to open her eyes but felt her eyelids were extremely heavy, and soon she fell asleep again.

When she regained consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes. It was pitch black before her; it was the middle of the night.

She lay there without moving, instead looking inward at her dantian. Seeing that large axe lying quietly there, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She could not attend to anything else; she first repaired her body, silently reciting the incantation, gradually absorbing the Spirit Essence within the axe to reconnect her damaged meridians.

The original owner's body was already frail, and she had suffered severe injuries this time, leaving it practically leaking from every side. She very patiently guided the Spirit Essence to move slowly through her meridians.

If she was tired, she would close her eyes and sleep, continuing once she woke up. She did not know how much time had passed, but the blocked meridians in her body were opened, all the leaks were patched, and the Spirit Essence of that axe was completely exhausted, losing its last trace of luster and turning into powder.

At this very moment, Cheng Xi was astonished to discover that there was actually a tiny figure in her dantian, curled up in a corner with a weak aura. Looking closely, it was actually the Fire Phoenix.

Cheng Xi was stunned; how could it be here?

What exactly happened after she fainted?

These past few days she had only focused on self-repair and had not discovered its existence; it was truly because it was too weak, as if it had exhausted all its Spirit Essence.

"Division Master, this subordinate has tried every method, but the Eldest Miss still has not awakened. I truly have no other way."

Ji Muzhi's voice suddenly entered her ears, and Cheng Xi was startled.

Why is Ji Muzhi here? And the Division Master... is Li Zhi'an here too?

Didn't he go to the Seal Land?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Li Zhi'an's voice, "I have already sent a message to Dean Jiang; he will arrive soon."

"That is truly wonderful. This subordinate's knowledge is shallow and my cultivation is low; the Eldest Miss's current situation is truly something I have never seen before. Although she has not awakened, her meridians are self-repairing, and the speed of the repair is astonishing. Division Master, judging by the pulse, the Eldest Miss's current physical condition is even healthier than before."

"Since she is healthier than before, why has she not awakened?"

"This subordinate is incompetent and truly does not know."

Cheng Xi sat up and reached out to lift the curtain, meeting the gazes of the two people talking outside.

"Eldest Miss, you're awake? You're finally awake. If you didn't wake up, I'm afraid my head would no longer be on my shoulders."

There was no need to be so dramatic. Cheng Xi's mouth twitched as she looked at Ji Muzhi; she hadn't realized before that he had a talent for acting.

"Eldest Miss, how are you feeling now? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? That day the Division Master picked you up, you were covered in blood; it was truly terrifying..."

"Ji Muzhi, get out!"

Ji Muzhi's words were cut off. He immediately shut his mouth, gave Cheng Xi a helpless look, and turned to leave.

Li Zhi'an chased away the noisy Ji Muzhi, then walked over to look at Cheng Xi, "How do you feel?"

Cheng Xi nodded, "Very well."

All her chronic illnesses and old ailments were gone; she couldn't be better.

Li Zhi'an was silent for a moment, then looked at Cheng Xi and added, "Do you want to eat something?"

Cheng Xi was truly hungry. She did not have any Inedia Pill and still needed to eat, so she nodded.

Li Zhi'an had someone bring food. Cheng Xi also got out of bed to tidy herself up. A maid brought her new clothes, and after bathing, she changed and came out.

The table was already filled with food. She sat down and did not stand on ceremony, filling her stomach thoroughly, only then feeling that she had truly come back to life from the inside out.

"Where am I now?" Cheng Xi asked, looking at Li Zhi'an.

"Yunchuan."

Cheng Xi was startled, "Yunchuan?"

"You fell into the Seal Land covered in blood and were discovered by people from the Tongtian Division, who then informed me."

"Such a coincidence?" Cheng Xi felt that life was unpredictable. She had opened the void randomly at the time without any coordinates, and she never expected that she would open the rift in Yunchuan.

"It is a coincidence." Li Zhi'an looked at Cheng Xi, "You were in a coma for half a month. I sent a message to Jindu to find out what had happened."

Cheng Xi nodded slightly.

Li Zhi'an watched her in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, so he asked directly, "What exactly happened? How did you end up in such a sorry state? You almost died."

Cheng Xi did not know why, but facing Li Zhi'an's stern gaze, she actually felt a little guilty.

It seemed something was not quite right.

"I encountered a stroke of fortune, so I pursued it without hesitation."

Cheng Xi did not know how to explain the Fire Phoenix and the axe to Li Zhi'an, let alone that it also involved a Chongming Bird.

"That stroke of fortune... was it able to repair your body?"

Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Ji Muzhi has checked my pulse; you should know that my body is already very healthy now."

Li Zhi'an sneered, "Wealth and status are sought amidst danger; the health you've sought is truly one of nine deaths and one life—if you had been even slightly careless, you could have been lying flat in the Netherworld, waiting to be reincarnated forever."

Li Zhi'an's sarcastic tone successfully made Cheng Xi shut herself off.
