<h4>Chapter 397</h4>
A faint blue light soon rushed into Lou Qianxue’s body.
The massive, burning power along with the light turned Lou Qianxue’s body hot red due to the heat.
Her expression fell. Sweat dripped from her forehead as a pained look appeared on her face.
“Qianxue?” Gong Sunheng nervously stared at her before looking at the origin source of the Abnormal Fire.
The light blue mes ferociously leaped in the air and didn’t leave.
Lou Qianxue’s expression became even more painful. Gong Sunheng could not help but hold his breath. Although he really wished to shake her awake, he forced himself to endure the urge.
Time slowly passed by.
The surrounding air became hotter and hotter.
Then, the Abnormal Fire in the boundary surged toward them as if an unknown force had attracted it,
“Qianxue! If it isn’t working, give up!” Gong Sunheng tried to persuade her.
Lou Qianxue’s eyshes fluttered, and she opened her eyes all of a sudden.
A faint light blue ray shot past her eyes.
“Gong Sunheng.” Her eyes sparkled, and she tried her best to calm herself. “My hypothesis was correct! I can absorb the power of the Abnormal Fire!”
“But it looks like you’re in so much pain. Plus, look at our surroundings.”
“I’m fine.” Lou Qianxue scanned her surroundings and did not be afraid. “Due to the Divine Blood Stone, these mes will not attack us. Wait for a while more. After I finish absorbing half of it, you can absorb the rest.”
“No.” Gong Sunheng shook his head. “If it can truly be absorbed, you should take it all. The two me orbs are enough for me.”
“But...” How could the two me orbspare to the origin source of the Abnormal Fire?
“You deserve it. Anyway, you destroyed the ck mist. The master of the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire’ should naturally be you. Plus, you’re a much more talented alchemist than me. After absorbing the ‘Phantom Demon Heart Fire,’ you’ll have a brighter future ahead of you!”
“... Alright. Thank you, Gong Sunheng. However, I might need some time to absorb the origin source of the abnormal me.”
“It’s okay. I’ll use that time to absorb the fire orbs in the sealed scroll.”
“Oh? Then let’s have a race to see who can absorb it faster.”
“Okay!”
After that, both of them closed their eyes and began absorbing the fire.
After a long time, more of the burning, massive power surged into Lou Qianxue’s body.
A me orb the size of a pea slowly appeared in the depths of her mind.
Gong Sunheng had also opened the sealed scroll, and he was attentively absorbing the me orbs.
He was transferring the power of the me orbs into his body wisp by wisp...
Everything urred very smoothly.
However...
“Huh? Why are these mes so easy to absorb?”
Gong Sunheng opened his eyes and confusedly looked at the sealed scroll.
The two fire orbs imprinting on it had be much fainter. Disappointment rose in his heart. “Perhaps these fire orbs aren’t as powerful as I expected.”
After speaking, he nced at Lou Qianxue and continued absorbing...
Soon.
He absorbed the two fire orbs into his body at a more rapid speed.
Although his powers had increased, his mind had descended into a state of confusion.
“Huh? What a weird feeling... What’s happening to me?”
Just as he was feeling baffled...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two mes started burning in his eyes.
“Qian—”
Gong Sunheng’s expression drastically changed. However, he abruptly stopped after calling out the first syble of Lou Qianxue’s name.
His expression became terrified and furious. However, in the next moment, it morphed into a vicious smile.
His eyes sometimes became pitch-ck, and sometimes two mes reced them.
A short whileter, Gong Sunheng’s body froze there.
After a long while, he started moving gradually as if he were an old machine that had been restarted.
At the same time, two mes appeared in his cold, malicious eyes.
“Tsk tsk tsk...” His vicious gazended on Lou Qianxue’s body. Slowly standing up, he walked toward the unaware Lou Qianxue, step by step.
