Chapter 216: Earth Fire
A few minutes later, a card was swiped through the crack in the door, and the entire door was immediately pushed open from the outside. The visitors were very cautious, their movements were very light, and there was hardly any sound.
As the door closed, Jiang Lai faintly saw a narrow figure appear on the ground through the bright light shining through the window. The man slowed down and slowly made his way to the bedroom.
However, the other party probably didn't expect that Jiang Lai had already noticed it, and had been hiding in the corner of the living room, watching coldly.
Judging from the body type, the person who came should be a man, because the light is too dim, so he can't see it very clearly, but the man's body exudes strong spiritual power fluctuations, at least a powerhouse in the realm of a grandmaster.
The master of the dignified Grandmaster realm actually used such a method of inferiority, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been unbelievable.
When the bedroom door was pushed open, the man did not dare to peek in, but carefully exposed a gap, then took something out of his pocket and threw it directly on the bed.
In an instant, the raging flames erupted, enveloping the bed in an instant, and a long fire snake swept out, and the surrounding glass exploded directly.
The moment the flames ignited, the man didn't stop for a moment, and immediately broke the window and fled. Seeing the other party's back disappear from sight, Jiang Lai walked to the window, only to see the figure quickly scurrying into an alley not far away.
At the same time, billowing flames spread out of the bedroom, enveloping the door, and in a matter of seconds, the wooden door was burned to ashes.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai was secretly surprised, such a terrifying flame, if he was contaminated with this kind of flame, it was difficult to say whether he could escape. I don't know who has a deep hatred with him, and he actually used such vicious means.
At this time, the man who had escaped seemed to be afraid of being followed, and turned around the narrow alley, constantly twisting and turning. About ten minutes later, he appeared in front of a convenience store that was open 24 hours a day.
Next to the store, there is a public telephone booth.
The man waited for a moment, and the phone rang suddenly, he hurriedly picked up the receiver, fed it, and said, "It's done!"
"Are you sure you saw him die?"
The man smiled bitterly, "It's not that you don't know his perversion, how dare I stay longer." Although the power of that thing is great, it will be difficult to kill him for a while, and if he fights back, I will not be finished. ”
"So, can't you be sure he's dead?" said a cold voice on the phone.
"That'...... Shall I go back and see?"
"Don't challenge my patience again, if you can't even do this little thing, what's the use of me keeping you. After speaking, the other party hung up the phone directly.
"Whew!"
The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exhaled secretly. The thought of that man's horror made him tremble. Alas, who called his life bad, was assigned such a task.
I bought a bottle of high-purity Erguotou at a convenience store, and the man drank it in a few sips, strengthened his courage, and then returned to the hotel the same way.
At this time, the room where Jiang Lai lived was blazing, and the fire was raging, dispelling the darkness of Yihe Town, and the hotel guests and people nearby all gathered on the road, pointing and talking.
Not long after, two fire engines arrived and began to control the fire at the scene.
"Mr. Cheng, did you see Jiang coming?"
The evacuated sea quicksand looked anxiously at the room engulfed in flames.
Cheng Hua frowned tightly and shook his head, "I didn't see anyone, and the phone couldn't get through." Miss Hai, you don't have to worry too much, with Mr. Jiang's strength, this kind of fire is difficult to pose a threat to him. ”
"If it's okay, why don't you see anyone?"
"This ...... I don't know, maybe he's out of the house. ”
"No way, he came back with me. Also, he lives next door to me, and if he leaves, I'm sure I'll be able to hear the movement. Speaking of this, Hai Liusha muttered, "No, I must go up and have a look." ”
After speaking, she ignored Cheng Hua's dissuasion and ran straight towards the hotel.
Seeing this, Cheng Hua hesitated for a moment, then followed him and returned to the floor where he lived from the safe passage together.
In the corridor, several firefighters who tried to break into the fire were all withdrawn, and their firefighting suits were burned and they were in a state of embarrassment. Cheng Hua looked at it a few times, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed the quicksand of the sea rushing forward, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go over, you will die." ”
"Why?"
Cheng Hua pointed to the raging flames that filled the corridor, his expression solemn, "This is not an ordinary flame, but an earth fire." ”
"Earthfire?"
"That's good!" Cheng Hua nodded, "In the Dao Gate, there are people who specialize in collecting earth fire for alchemy. However, the power of earth fire is very terrifying, and it is even more difficult to collect, once it is contaminated by earth fire, within a few seconds, people's bodies will be burned to ashes, even people in the Dao Sect are not immune. It is clear that this fire was deliberately created in order to kill Mr. Jiang. ”
Hearing this, Hai Liusha's face turned extremely pale, "Isn't that Jianglai ......?"
"Alas!" Cheng Hua sighed, although he didn't want to admit it, but he knew the horror of the earth fire, even if Jiang Lai's cultivation was strong, it was impossible for him to retreat with his whole body. Originally, I wanted to use Jiang to keep my integrity, but who knew that this would be the result.
Early the next morning.
The flames that had been burning for half the night were finally extinguished, and the entire hotel was set to the ground. Fortunately, the hotel owner took out the insurance, otherwise he would have died.
At this moment, outside the crowd of onlookers, a lonely figure stood alone, raising his eyes to look at the charred hotel, with an indifferent expression. After last night, he secretly left the hotel and hid nearby, secretly observing.
Originally, he wanted to contact Cheng Hua and Hai Quicksand and tell them the truth, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea again.
Since someone wants him to die, then he might as well follow the other party's wishes and temporarily 'disappear' from this world, only in this way can he have more comprehensive information. As for Cheng Hua and Hai Quicksand, only by making them think that they are dead will they not arouse the suspicion of others.
As he thought about it, a familiar figure left the crowd and quietly walked towards the alley behind him.
The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth were slightly raised, his toes were tapped, and he immediately followed behind.
More than ten minutes later, it was still the public phone booth outside the convenience store. After the man answered the phone, he was about to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud 'boom', and the entire phone booth exploded instantly, and the flames splashed everywhere.
"Boom! boom!"
With a series of explosions, not only the phone booth was razed to the ground, but even the convenience store next to it was affected, and half of the store collapsed.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai, who was hidden in the dark, couldn't help frowning, and a cold light flickered in his inky black eyes.
