Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao moved at an astonishing speed.
Even Jiangnan found it somewhat difficult to keep up.
Since their first year at Songjiang Lingwu, they had been trained in team mode, coupled with years of entering the Spirit Ruins to hunt spirit beasts.
Their combat experience was extremely rich.
Their teamwork was seamless, a single glance enough to understand each other’s thoughts.
The gap was evident at this moment.
Just then.
Jiangnan suddenly noticed three figures in black suits and jackets among the crowd.
They rushed towards the mall at a terrifying speed.
Jiangnan could tell at a glance that they were soldiers, and their strength was formidable.
Even without military uniforms, their aura gave them away.
“Xuexue. Sister Xia Yao. Be careful, this isn’t as simple as it seems. It’s probably not an ordinary fire.”
Zhong Yingxue nodded, saying, “It’s an abnormal fire set by a fire-type awakener. And the level isn’t low.”
At that moment, two fluffy ears suddenly sprouted from Xia Yao’s silver short hair.
Wolf ears?
“The person is likely still in the mall. I sense several powerful auras.”
At that moment, Jiangnan wasn’t listening to what Xia Yao was saying.
His eyes sparkled, fixated on the beast ears that had appeared on Xia Yao.
Wow.
Wasn’t that just too adorable?
Was this Xia Yao’s beast transformation?
It probably wasn’t her full form.
So, in her complete form, would she turn into a wolf?
While pondering, they arrived at the mall.
The area around the mall was already cordoned off, with the crowd evacuated.
Several fire trucks were connected to hydrants, sending powerful jets of water towards the building.
But they had no effect on the raging flames, which were not ordinary fire.
Several water-type spiritual warriors at the scene were also trying to extinguish the fire.
But the blaze was too intense, their efforts like a drop in the bucket.
What puzzled Jiangnan was that there were not only fire trucks but also riot control vehicles and a military vehicle.
Even news reporters were present, broadcasting live.
The fire had engulfed the fourth and fifth floors, now spreading to the sixth.
A reporter, facing the camera, said:
“I’m Hu Shuo, news reporter.”
“It’s 8:03 p.m. A massive fire has broken out at Jiangcheng Walmart. As you can see, the flames are fierce, and Jiangcheng firefighters are actively carrying out rescue operations.”
“Many kind-hearted water-type spiritual warriors are also lending a hand. But the situation remains dire.”
“The area below the mall is too narrow to set up air cushions. Many people are trapped on the sixth floor, unable to escape.”
The camera then shifted to the sixth-floor windows.
A mother, holding her child, unable to bear the choking smoke, was preparing to jump.
“Firefighters are now setting up a ladder to rescue people. Members of the Lingwu Association are also on their way.”
Zhong Yingxue, anxious, said, “I’m not afraid of the fire, but I can’t bring people down.”
Xia Yao, pacing frantically, said, “The sixth floor is too high. I can’t jump that far.”
Jiangnan, serious, said, “I have a way.”
“Xiao Nan. You…”
Before they could finish.
Jiangnan pushed through the crowd to the front, but was stopped by a guard.
“Little brother, it’s dangerous inside. Don’t go in.”
Jiangnan explained urgently, “I’m a spiritual warrior. I have a way to save people.”
The guard, taken aback, said, “Alright. Register over there first. It’s a special situation, we have to be cautious. Please understand. Stay safe.”
Register?
But seeing the riot control and military vehicles, Jiangnan knew things weren’t simple.
As he went to register.
A loud explosion rang out. Flames surged out of the windows, shooting over ten metres.
Four figures leapt out of the windows, landing on the rooftop of the opposite building, then fled frantically.
Then, a figure in a black jacket jumped from the sixth floor.
With a “boom,” they landed on a jeep.
The jeep was crushed flat.
The person, wearing a beret and a black jacket with scorch marks.
The woman wiped her smoke-blackened face.
She walked to the military vehicle, ripped off the door, and tossed it aside.
“Chase them.”
The military vehicle roared off in the direction the figures had fled.
Several hidden black-jacketed figures in the crowd also slipped away, giving chase.
Jiangnan swallowed hard.
This woman, wasn’t she a bit too fierce?
What kind of monstrous physical strength was that?
The crowd was still reeling from the shock.
But at that moment.
The woman on the sixth floor, overwhelmed by the fire, lost her balance and fell with her child.
The crowd gasped in horror.
Even the reporter Hu Shuo was startled.
“Ah. Someone. Someone fell.”
“What do we do. What do we do. What do we do.”
Jiangnan cursed, “Damn. No time.”
“Brother, I’ll register later.”
Before the guard could react.
Jiangnan vanished on the spot.
What the hell?
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Jiangnan’s figure appeared mid-air.
He caught the falling mother and child.
Teleported again.
And landed safely.
Hu Shuo, stunned for a moment, then excitedly said, “Did you catch that? Did everyone see? Someone acted. Was that teleportation? My God.”
“That was too close. He rushed into mid-air to save them. Thankfully, the mother and child are safe.”
The crowd erupted in cheers. Nothing was more uplifting.
The guard gave Jiangnan a thumbs-up.
Xia Yao jumped with joy, “Yes. Xiao Nan is so cool. Teleportation. It’s really teleportation.”
Zhong Yingxue’s face flushed with excitement, her fists clenched.
Her cheeks red with thrill. Jiangnan was still the Jiangnan in her heart.
The mother and child Jiangnan saved were full of gratitude.
But trembling from shock, they could barely speak.
“Auntie, don’t be nervous. You’re safe now. Do you know how many people are still in the mall?”
The mother, trembling, said, “Maybe fifty or sixty left. I don’t know if that’s all, possibly more.”
Jiangnan’s heart sank.
So many people? The ladder wouldn’t be fast enough. By the time they were all rescued, the fire would have consumed the floors.
He turned and said, “Firefighters. There are too many people up there. I’m going to save them.”
The firefighter said, “Hey. Little brother, put on a fire suit. It’s hot up there…”
But before he could finish, Jiangnan was gone.
In less than ten seconds, he returned, carrying one person in each hand.
Before anyone could speak, he vanished again.
This time, he came back with two on his shoulders, two in his hands, and one under his arm.
The sight was heart-stopping.
In just a minute, Jiangnan teleported and brought down over twenty people.
The crowd, firefighters, and guards cheered wildly.
Dear readers, please give a like and some encouragement. Don’t just read for free, haha.
