The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 394, White Flame Saves People

Hua Changxi noticed Zhu Yan and Chu Junshan rapidly approaching her. Although she was wary, she focused all her attention on the Fire Axe.

The moment she grasped the fire axe, she understood the true test of this space—to prove the Dao through strength!
But how can one 'prove the Way through force'?
Hua Changxi looked at the fire axe in his hand, recalling the scene of 'giants splitting the sky' that had appeared in his mind earlier.

Is she also going to wield a fire axe to split the heavens?
Hua Changxi's gaze shifted to the spatial barrier 'not far away'. The sky above this chaotic chicken-shaped space must be the spatial barrier.

With that thought in mind, Hua Changxi flew towards the boundary wall.

Upon seeing this, Chu Junshan's expression changed: "This is bad, Hua Changxi is trying to escape!"

Zhu Yan remained calm: "Don't worry, she can't escape. This space is easy to enter but difficult to leave; I noticed that when I came in."

Hearing this, Chu Junshan was not happy. Instead, his expression became solemn. If Hua Changxi couldn't escape, then they couldn't escape either.

Although he didn't think that he and Zhu Yan together would be no match for Hua Changxi, what if they were?
Hua Changxi rode the somersault cloud, seemingly flying very fast, but in reality, he moved very slowly.

Fortunately, after entering the space, she did not stray too far from the boundary wall. After consuming most of her spiritual power, she finally arrived at the boundary wall.

Facing the boundary wall up close again, she discovered many details she had previously overlooked.

For example, the dark golden bloodline patterns flowing on the boundary wall made her feel the power of the 'Law of Fire'.

She also noticed flickering 'fire axe patterns' jumping around in the rhythmic pulsation of the boundary wall.

Hua Changxi had a bad feeling and couldn't help but reach out his hand towards the boundary wall.

The boundary is very soft and has a very strong tensile and extensible property.

Soon, her bad premonition came true. No matter how hard she tried or how she tried to break out of the space, she couldn't escape the boundary.

We can't get out?!
Hua Changxi's mood was heavy. She glanced back at Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan, who were still approaching her. After a moment, her gaze fell on the fire axe in her hand.

It seems the only way out is to use a fire axe to break through the boundary wall.

Hua Changxi raised his fire axe and slashed at the boundary wall.

The boundary wall remained completely still; the axe blade couldn't even leave a trace on it.

Hua Changxi was somewhat taken aback, and swung his axe again.

Once, twice.
Hua Changxi was panting heavily as he hacked away. At first, the boundary wall did not react at all. It wasn't until the fire axe was swung hundreds of times that a few sparks appeared when the axe blade struck the boundary wall.

Swinging the fire axe is extremely tiring and physically demanding.

However, although it was tiring, with each swing of the fire axe, the strength in his body was gradually increasing.

"Is this power?"

Hua Changxi felt the strength in her arm swinging increased. After a moment of contemplation, she swung the fire axe again, this time summoning a seven-colored strange fire. After fusing the strange fire with the fire axe, she swung the axe at the boundary wall once more.

"Zi~"

With more sparks, the fire axe becomes even more powerful!

Upon seeing this, Hua Changxi's face lit up with joy. He then fused the seven-colored strange fire into the Great Sun Divine Flame, which merged with the fire axe, and once again slashed at the boundary wall.

This time, the boundary trembled slightly, and flames even appeared where the axe blade touched the boundary.

It was obvious that the fire axe, now infused with the Great Sun Divine Flame, had become even more powerful. At the same time, Hua Changxi's strength increased as she swung the fire axe.

Continuing her efforts, Hua Changxi unleashed the Southern Bright Fire once more.

"Boom~"

The fusion of the Fire Axe and the Southern Bright Fire unleashed astonishing power, causing the boundary wall to tremble slightly. Furthermore, the axe blade and the boundary wall rubbed together, generating flames.

Through the experiments with the Seven-Colored Strange Flame, the Great Sun Divine Flame, and the Southern Bright Fire, Hua Changxi realized that the boundary wall was actually the ultimate fusion of the laws of fire and power.

To prove the Way through force is actually to reach a state where "there is law within force, and force is contained within law".

Hua Changxi looked at the boundary wall thoughtfully. Even when he used the Southern Bright Fire, he could not make the Fire Axe leave any mark on the boundary wall. The scene of 'giants opening the sky' involuntarily reappeared in his mind.

Transforming into a giant and cleaving through the boundary wall would undoubtedly allow him to unleash the full potential of the laws of fire and the power of his physical body.

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi's eyes suddenly flashed. Was breaking through this space with the fire axe the test to become the master of Zhurong Tomb?

The more Hua Changxi thought about it, the more convinced he became that his guess was correct, and he was eager to quickly cultivate the 'Law of Heaven and Earth' supernatural power to prove it.

However, she suppressed her eagerness.

There's no other reason than that Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan are already very close to her.

Knowing he couldn't outrun the two, Hua Changxi sat cross-legged, ready for battle. Zhu Yan was even faster than Chu Junshan, approaching Hua Changxi first.

However, given his near-death experience at the hands of Hua Changxi, he did not launch an attack immediately, but instead waited for Chu Junshan to launch an attack together.

Hua Changxi naturally wouldn't just watch the two reunite. Using her divine sense to wield the fire axe, she slashed straight at Zhu Yan.

Seeing the fiery axe hurtling through the air with its fierce power, Zhu Yan sensed danger and quickly retreated.

As he retreated, Chu Junshan arrived: "Don't hold back." After saying that, he raised his thick right leg and stomped down on Hua Changxi, as if he wanted to crush Hua Changxi to death.

Seeing the massive ham coming at him, Hua Changxi immediately unleashed the 'Ten Thousand Fires Converge' divine power.

Because this chicken-shaped space was filled with dense fire elemental energy, a flame-devouring vortex instantly formed around Hua Changxi.

Chu Junshan's right leg, as strong as a pillar, was aimed at crushing Hua Changxi, but instead fell into a strangling, devouring vortex.

His entire foot almost completely covered the whirlpool opening. Although it wasn't instantly swallowed up, it was gradually melting under the burning flames.

Chu Junshan felt a strong pain of being swallowed and collapsing, but he did not retract his leg. Under the divine power of 'Pangu True Body', Hua Changxi's divine power could not do anything to him for the time being.

Despite the intense pain in his legs, Chu Junshan continued to crush Hua Changxi at the center of the vortex.

"Zhu Yan, make your move."

Zhu Yan felt a pang of fear upon seeing this, but he quickly summoned a lotus lantern composed of four black lotus petals and four white lotus petals, burning with black and white flames.

He chanted an incantation, and soon the originally distinct black and white flames instantly flared up into a large black flame.

Then, a wisp of black flame disintegrated and flew rapidly toward the vortex of flames.

During this time, wherever the black flames passed, the flames and sparks that gathered in the air would be covered with a layer of black flames.

The wisp of black flame spread through the space at a visible speed, like a plague.

Hua Changxi was shocked when he saw it. The black flame was the fire of desire, not a natural fire, and the "All Fires Converge" technique could not transform the black flame.

If she allows 'Ten Thousand Fires Converge' to devour the black flames, not only will she be unable to do anything to Zhu Yan, but she will also be controlled by the black flames.

Don't let the black flames get close!
Hua Changxi decisively withdrew the 'Ten Thousand Fires Converge' divine power. The moment the flame vortex disappeared, she summoned the Floating Light Sword and slashed it fiercely at Chu Junshan's thigh above her head.

The sword's edge pierced the air and struck Chu Junshan's thigh.

Although the Floating Light Sword was powerful, it was still unsheathed and could not cut through Chu Junshan's thigh. However, the space was filled with the 'Law of Fire', and the sword light attracted the power of the law.

With the power of the 'Law of Fire', the sword light, which had only radiated a range of 100 meters, suddenly surged to 1,000 meters, severing Chu Junshan's thigh with a single strike.

In an instant, blood rained down from the sky.

"Ah~"

Hearing Chu Junshan's shrill screams, Zhu Yan shuddered. Just as he hesitated whether to continue attacking Hua Changxi, a deadly crisis gripped his heart.

He almost instinctively recited the incantation, causing the white flame of the lotus lantern in his hand to blaze brightly.

A sudden burst of white flames caused the Soul-Chasing Mark, which was originally meant to be imprinted on Zhu Yan's soul, to deviate from its original trajectory, allowing Zhu Yan to avoid it.

Hua Changxi was shocked when he saw it.

Black flames can control people, but white flames can save them?!
Although Hua Changxi was surprised, she did not stop her attack. She swung the Floating Light Sword again, and the sharp sword light went straight for Zhu Yan.

The thousand-meter-long sword beam, imbued with the laws of fire, struck like a mountain crashing down. Although Zhu Yan felt a chill run down his spine, he was not in despair.

Just before the sword light struck him, the white flame in his hand erupted again, enveloping Zhu Yan in a dazzling white light. Then, Zhu Yan instantly moved away from the sword light's attack range.

Seeing Zhu Yan escape again, Hua Changxi was shocked. She swung her sword again, and this time, as the sword light slashed down, the fire axe also silently attacked Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan dodged the sword light again, but not the fire axe.

The moment the fire axe struck, Zhu Yan truly felt the threat of death. The excruciating pain in his back made him instantly unleash his physical fire transformation technique.

Even though it turned into fire, the fire axe still cleaved the flames in two.

Just when everyone thought Zhu Yan was doomed, the flame that had been cut in half emitted a white light, and then the two halves of the flame merged back into one.

After the flames merged, they "whooshed" into the other flames in the air and disappeared.

On the other side, during Hua Changxi's battle with Zhu Yan, Chu Junshan, who had lost a leg, could no longer stand and collapsed with a crash. After falling, he instantly returned to his original form, took out a life-saving teleportation talisman, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
