Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 99 Change (Part )

The fire burned off the makeup on Gu Jingnian's face, as well as his already scarred skin, turning him into charcoal once again.

He quickly lost consciousness.

There was darkness before his eyes, and he felt that he was already dead, but deep in his heart there was still a trace of unwillingness.

He hadn't rescued Gu Caiwei yet, and he hadn't even been able to take a look at her child. If he died now, what would happen to them in the future?
"Can't die. Can't die."

Shouting in his heart, Gu Jingnian seemed to hear the cry of a phoenix, shaking the sky.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw the vast world again, at the end of which were two towering mountains.

This is my hometown - I have this feeling for some reason.

He was distracted for a moment and asked himself, "Who am I?"

Finally, he felt himself again.

It's like it was melted into iron slurry and recast again.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a blazing light. Through the light, he could see the fire about to hit Pei Nian, and he could see Mei Chengzong standing in the distance.

My left shoulder is itchy.

Something was stirring near the heart, and Gu Jingnian felt as if he could control it.

So he swung hard.

Not waving.

Even he himself didn't know what he had swung.

But a ball of fire flew out as he wished and hit Mei Chengzong.

Gu Jingnian stood up, walked out of the raging fire, waved his hand again to disperse the fire that was spreading towards Pei Nian, and helped Pei Nian up.

He felt something cool behind him, and it seemed that he was no longer afraid of the heat of the flames. He even felt a sense of closeness to the raging fire and wanted to get closer to it.

The next moment, he saw a flame burning just behind his shoulder.

The strange thing was that his long hair was flying and clearly touched the flames, but he was not burned. Instead, the flames flowed and formed a special shape.

That's a wing.

Just then an idea came to Gu Jingnian's mind that he wanted to see it clearly. With a "whoosh", its wings instantly spread and flew high.

It is in the shape of a phoenix's wing, but the difference is that it has no substance and is made entirely of flames, glowing with color.

Just as Gu Jingnian was about to try to wave it, it flapped twice in the air, blowing out a wind that was very comfortable for him but scorching hot for others.

He never dreamed that he would have wings one day, but they grew out, although there was only one, on the left side of his body, closer to his heart.

--------

Pei Nian's eyelids moved.

Her head was fuzzy, she felt hot, and her vision was unusually bright.

She opened her eyes slightly and found herself in someone's arms. Just by the familiar feeling, she knew it was Gu Jingnian.

Because she had only ever been this close to him.

In my sight, the man in front of me had a face full of burn scars, but as the faint flames flowed through his body, his skin was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and little by little, he became more and more familiar.

Those starry eyes are still there, and those sword-like eyebrows are still picturesque.

Pei Nian's gaze dropped down and saw his tall nose and slightly curved lips.

A flaming wing rose from his shoulder like a cloak, pointing straight to the sky.

It was indeed Gu Jingnian. He had been reborn from the ashes and was even more dazzling than before.

Seeing this, Pei Nian felt relieved and finally fainted.

--------

"what is that?"

Mei Chengzong dodged the fireball, narrowed his eyes, and stared in disbelief at Gu Jingnian who was standing in front of the fire.

The young man stood proudly in front of the flames, his flaming wings waving in the wind, shining brightly.

Mei Chengzong really wanted to know what changes the phoenix had brought to Gu Jingnian, and he had many ideas, but he never thought that Gu Jingnian was actually turned into half a phoenix.

No, maybe it's not even half a phoenix, but a part of its body has the characteristics of a phoenix.

Before Mei Chengzong could think carefully, another fireball hit him.

Gu Jingnian was obviously not familiar with it yet, and the fireball he swung was not accurate. It hit Mei Chengzong in front of him with a loud bang, sparks flew and hit his face, leaving a small scar.

"ah!"

He quickly covered his face and stepped back, fearing that his face would be disfigured.

But he also knew that he could no longer indulge Gu Jingnian, so he suddenly stretched out his hands.

At this moment, Mei Chengzong didn't dare to underestimate him anymore and used all his strength, even if it meant exposing his abilities. As a result, all the dark shadows in the Kaiping Division were mobilized by him and turned into substance, like a giant trap that clamped towards Gu Jingnian, or like a huge wave hitting him in the face.

Gu Jingnian took a few steps back.

The wings stretched into the raging fire behind them and quickly disappeared, as if they were burned by the fire.

But it didn't take long.

"call--"

Blazing flames shot up into the sky, and a larger wing of fire rose with the wind, as high as four or five stories. Compared with Gu Jingnian's small body, it seemed extremely exaggerated. But when Gu Jingnian walked forward, he easily moved the large wing.

The black shadow that pounced towards him like a huge wave originally had the powerful force to cover the sky and swallow everything, but under the illumination of the flaming wings, it melted away like ice and snow in an instant.

"Do not."

Mei Chengzong didn't expect that his extremely powerful black shadow would be broken by the fire wings before it could even last for a moment. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and ran away.

He finally realized that the Fire Phoenix was his natural enemy.

Before at the Deadwood Cliff, he had manipulated the black shadow hand to catch a phoenix, but that was a drenched phoenix, but the Gu Jingnian in front of him was in full swing.

Mei Chengzong walked quickly, not daring to look back, and kept muttering, "Rain soon, rain soon."

There was no one around, and no one knew who he was talking to, but it did have an effect. There actually was a group of dark clouds gathering in the sky, but it would take some time before it rained.

"boom!"

Another fireball came flying towards him. Mei Chengzong wanted to control the black shadow to block it, but he realized that it would not work. He reached out to the ground and turned his shadow into a fast horse, which carried him at a gallop.

Gu Jingnian held Pei Nian and chased after him, his steps neither fast nor slow, but when he flapped his wings, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the area dozens of feet around.

Before Mei Chengzong could react, the black shadow of the horse under him disappeared in an instant, throwing him to the ground.

He stumbled and fell, but without even a moment to rest, he quickly got up and began to run, crawling and tumbling.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Fireballs kept hitting him. Although the accuracy was poor, the attack was extremely fierce. Mei Chengzong was frightened and ran away in panic, rushing into a government office.

Seeing this, Gu Jingnian flapped his wings and fireballs fell like rain, directly collapsing the government office.

I don’t know whether Mei Chengzong is dead or not, but after this wave of fierce attacks, his fire wings have returned to their original size.

The dark cloud in the sky was already very heavy and was floating in his direction.

The wind suddenly became stronger, and with the wind came several men in black standing in the air.

In front, more Kaiping hooks gathered around, shouting and shooting arrows at this side from time to time.

Gu Jingnian would not be injured, but he did not want to hurt Pei Nian, so he flapped his wings to brush off the rain of arrows, stopped fighting, and began to retreat.

While setting fire to the houses of Kaipingsi, he absorbed the flames and maintained his fire wings. Anyone who dared to stop him was dispersed by his fireballs.

Wherever the fire wings go, there is no hindrance.

All I heard was a hook running away, shouting, "Monster."

"boom!"

There was another earth-shattering bang, and the fire wings slammed into the main building of Kaipingsi, exploding the most gorgeous fireworks of the night.

On the upper floor, smoke rose up and the flames were blinding.

Even the men in black who were standing in the air following the dark clouds had to retreat three steps away from the wall.

When they opened their eyes again and searched the dark streets and alleys of the capital, Gu Jingnian, who had removed his fire wings, was nowhere to be seen.

Only the ruined Kaipingsi was left burning in flames.

Even the Nan Ya Hooks, who were arrogant and domineering in the past, were so scared that they dared not get close to put out the fire.

After a long time, heavy rain finally fell.

The rain poured on the burning house, and thick smoke rose up with a "hiss".

"Cough cough cough cough."

Mei Chengzong crawled out of the ruins, his always clean face now covered with blackened marks.

He looked around and saw that the crowd had gathered around him. He thought that Gu Jingnian must have left. He patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, still terrified.

"I'm dying, I'm dying. This will definitely leave a scar."

He conjured up an umbrella from a black shadow, ignored the chaos behind him, and walked out of the rainy area holding the umbrella.

Soon, he walked into a house not far from Pingsi, washed his face, changed his clothes, and changed his miserable state as soon as possible.

When he was looking at the scar on his face in the bronze mirror, the candlelight flickered and the mirror suddenly reflected the figure of a middle-aged woman, who was the owner of the cage.

"Ouch, you scared me."

Mei Chengzong said angrily, but did not turn around. He just complained: "What's the point of coming now? Gu Jingnian has already escaped."

“I heard he became a phoenix.”

"It was only half a wing, but it turned into a fire wing that was not substantial." Mei Chengzong said, "It happened suddenly. I was not prepared and was caught off guard. Otherwise... Humph."

"Blood transfusion?" the cage owner asked himself in confusion.

Mei Chengzong thought about it and murmured, "It's possible. The fire of the Deadwood Cliff dried up his blood, and the blood of the Phoenix dripped into his body. Today, I pushed him to the brink of despair and inspired him... But to refine a divine creature like the Phoenix, is this the simplest method? It's not much different from that old servant of Lu Yanqing."

"The blood exchange method seems to be the simplest, but it requires the most opportunity. If the blood is not compatible, even if millions of people die, it will be useless." The cage master sighed slightly, "In other words, it is possible that not everyone can refine the phoenix."

"But, Gu Jingnian merged with the Phoenix bloodline directly. Isn't he too lucky?" Mei Chengzong said: "This time, too few people died, didn't they?"

"Is it lucky?" The cage owner asked, "What if it is the method of raising snakes and the method of blood exchange?"

"You mean..."

Mei Chengzong raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised, and asked: "Using the method of raising snakes to make the blood merge, and then using the method of blood exchange to refine it, can we help the master to refine into a phoenix?"

"This is just a guess," said the cage owner, "but we'll know once we give it a try."
