Chapter 52: Pheonix Fire

As Yue Luang's fist hurtled towards Li Mei in a fit of rage, an unexpected event occurred, causing him to halt his attack.

As Li Mei's life force dwindled, her soul began to pulse with an otherworldly energy. It transformed from a pure white to a mix of red and yellow, like the legendary flames of a phoenix. The energy around her intensified and coalesced into a cocoon, enveloping her battered body within.

Inside the cocoon, Li Mei's soul took on a new form. She became a newborn baby, appearing peaceful and serene. But as Yue Luang stepped forward, intent on delivering a final blow, the baby's eyes suddenly snapped open.

Within the newborn baby's icy blue eyes blazed a fierce flame, different from the rest of its body which radiated heat. The flames appeared like a cold fire, akin to the legendary ice phoenix. Its intensity burned with a fierce power, one that could freeze or melt anything it touched.
