Chapter 46 To the Swords’ Tomb (1/2)

Hearing those words, Feng Jiu raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing that the ghostly image was gradually fading, she walked up to him.

She knew that the ghostly image hovering in mid air before her eyes was the last vestiges of consciousness left within the blood's essence and once the essence ran out, the consciousness and the man would forever disappear from the world…..

”Stabilise your consciousness, calm your heart and quiet your Qi. The process will be a little painful but you have to bear with it.”

Chu Ba Tian said in a deep voice and finally conveyed the last of his blood's essence to envelop over Feng Jiu. A ray of light visible to the eye surge over Feng Jiu's body, entering the channels of her meridians, opening them…..

[Agonizing and excruciating pain!]

All the channels in her meridians were being forcibly expanded by a robust surge of Qi flowing through them, from thin to large, stretching them to the extent they felt like they were almost going to explode. The agonizing pain caused her entire body to be bathed in cold sweat, more intolerable than having someone cutting your flesh with a knife.

He wanted to shout out but was afraid that he might distract her and so he could do nothing but watch Feng Jiu suffer under the excruciating pain of expanding the meridian channels.

It was almost an hour past before the aura that enveloped her body faded away as she fell weakly onto the ground, gasping heavily for air.

Seeing that, the little Fire Phoenix was suddenly hopping in nervous anxiety, shouting out: ”Foolish woman? Are you alright?”

Feng Jiu struggled against the weakness she was feeling in her body as she looked at the ghostly image to ask: ”Master, how are you feeling?”
