13: Sea of Fire
The real wave has not settled, and the wave has risen. Just as everyone was scrambling to avoid, they suddenly heard a huge roar of "Hong~" erupting. The blazing flames burst into the sky through cracks in the ground, causing dozens of huge pillars of fire inside and outside Yongzhou City at the same time. Those who were unfortunately affected by the eruption of the pillar of fire were burned to char on the spot and died a horrible death.
The pillar of fire soared into the sky, and although the momentum was fierce, the scope of destruction was always limited. However, when the eruption was exhausted, the flames turned to fall, and a large rain of fire was formed, which was frantically poured over the entire Yongzhou City.
Suddenly, countless buildings in the city were all ignited by the rain of fire and burst into flames. There was a rain of fires and an earthquake below, and in the middle were the collapse of houses one after another. The city of Yongzhou lived up to its name and was in dire straits.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the city have fallen into the abyss of despair. There was no other way for them to save their lives than to cry out and beg the gods for protection.
Cheng Li's position is located near the gate of Yongzhou City, which is considered a marginal area. Although the earthquake was equally intense, it was less affected by the fire rain. The collapse of buildings does not pose much of a threat to them.
But not far away, the Yan family's team happened to be blocked by a pillar of fire that rose into the sky. I saw that the pillar of fire was spreading rapidly along the crack in the ground, burning towards the Yan family's carriage.
Originally, with the speed of the carriage, it was not difficult to avoid the spreading pillar of fire. At this time, there was chaos everywhere. The frightened horses were uncontrollable, barking and jumping, kicking and biting wildly. Where can you still follow the coachman's drive to avoid the pillar of fire?
"Boom~"
In an instant, pillars of fire spread to the bottom of the carriage. Then it erupted a second time. The force of the eruption was so great that the four horses pulling the cart were first burned to death, and then the whole carriage was swept into the air at once, like duckweed in the wind, tumbling violently.
"Childe! Childe, run away!"
Faintly, Cheng Li heard those knights of the Yan family looking up to the sky and neighing at the carriage. But there was no movement in the carriage, and the knights of the family were too busy to take care of themselves, where was there time to save people?
Seeing that the whole carriage was already burning, and if it continued like this, the passengers in the carriage were either burned alive, or fell from a high altitude with the carriage and were killed alive.
Leave aside what identity, what position, what interests, what conflicts and so on. Cheng Li is first and foremost a person. As far as the passengers in the carriage are concerned, they are also the same person. When another person may die innocently and tragically at any time, and at the same time he has enough strength to save people, Cheng Li doesn't have to think about it at all, and he has already rushed out to save people as soon as possible.
As if sensing Cheng Li's determination to save people, there was a flash of thunder, and the "boom~" fire broke out, and a new pillar of fire, impartial, broke out in front of Cheng Li, completely blocking his way. The pillar of fire was not the usual yellow or red, but a blue color, infinitely close to pure white.
As we all know, the change in the color of the flame also represents the temperature of the flame. The red flame can reach up to 3,000 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the blue flame can soar to about 5,000 to 6,000 degrees Celsius. The higher the temperature of the flame, the lighter the color. When the flame turns pure white, or even completely fades away all colors, the temperature can soar to tens of thousands of degrees, or even more than 100 million degrees. Any tangible substance in the world, under the burning of such a flame, will be completely vaporized in an instant.
It's too exaggerated, so I don't need to say much about it for the time being. The blue-blue flame of 6,000 degrees Celsius alone is equivalent to the temperature of the sun's surface, enough to melt the hardest metals into a liquid state. No flesh or blood can withstand such heat.
Cheng Li can't either. But the Dark Warrior can. With a flick of his fingers, a pitch-black sphere the size of a fist, constantly tumbling and changing, jumped out of the void, and then took about a fraction of a second to suddenly stretch out, covering Cheng Li's entire body.
The demon form of the first order of the dark battle body was shockingly revealed! The dark battle body that turned into a demon opened its huge mouth of the blood disk and let out an angry roar! A pair of giant claws reached out in response, and slammed into the blue blazing pillar of fire, splitting to the left and right.
"Broken!"
The pillar of fire was torn apart in response. The Dark Warrior Body stepped through the pillar of fire, unscathed. With a vigorous kick of both feet, he immediately jumped up obliquely into the sky like a flag flower rocket, and crashed headlong into the burning carriage. Not to mention that he picked up his fist and smashed it.
"Click~"
The ornate carriage was smashed to pieces with a single punch, and two figures fell out of it, screaming and crashing into the air. Before the sound fell, the black shadow flickered, and the dark battle body swept through the air, stretched out its claws to grab them, and slashed an almost perfect arc in mid-air, landing safely.
With his feet steady, the head of the dark battle body suddenly rippled. The appearance of a ferocious demon disappeared in an instant, re-revealing Cheng Li's true face. He shook his hair vigorously, then looked intently at the two men he was holding in his hands. But he saw that these two people were one big and one small.
The one who is the eldest is a woman. He was about twenty-two or three years old. The phoenix eyes contain spring, the long eyebrows are in the sideburns, the complexion is white and greasy, and from a distance, the fat is as bright as jade. It can be described as one in a thousand top talents. She was wearing the clothes of a Miao woman, not only with her shoulder-length hair tied with gold rings, but also with two gold rings on her ankles and arms.
The youngest one was a child who was only about eleven or twelve years old. The appearance is quite handsome, but it looks a little demented, the eyes are dull, and there is no sense of agility. The clothes he wore were very luxurious.
What is the identity and relationship between these two people? The question flashed in Cheng Li's heart. But now is no good time to ask. So he threw it casually, threw the two people to the knight of the Yan family who rushed over from behind, and without the slightest hesitation, he galloped towards the place where the disaster was most serious, the buildings collapsed the most, and the fire was the biggest in the city.
Since they came to the rescue, there is no need to divide each other anymore. Whether it is a family of words, a sectarian, or even an ordinary person, at this moment, there is no difference, just innocent victims waiting for rescue.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart. When the dark shadow of the dark battle body was crisscrossing, behind him, a clear shadow followed closely. Looking back, Cheng Li and Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile at each other, although the natural disaster was still raging, but in their hearts, there was only infinite tenderness.
Before he finished laughing, Xiaoqing's figure transformed, turning from one to nine. It is the Taiyin Sutra that is known as the unparalleled light skill in the world, "Spiral Nine Shadows".
In an instant, I saw Xiaoqing's nine doppelgangers, each of which pounced on nine places, each of them making a move. Or sweep away the rain of fire that falls from the sky and let the victims escape. Or rush into the crack in the earth and pull up the victims who have fallen into it, but they are lucky not to be consumed by the flames, or they can extinguish the flames so that the victims who are trapped in the fire can be spared......
All in all, in one sentence. Where it is most dangerous, Xiaoqing will go there. In the midst of his busy schedule, the nine doppelgangers also looked back one after another and winked at Cheng Li defiantly. It's like saying, "Come on, let's play, who will save the most people in the end?"
Cheng Li was stunned, and he was also unwilling to be left behind. Suddenly, a large shadow under the hood, and even more panicked screams followed.
Cheng Li looked up and saw that it was a five-story building, which could not withstand the ravages of earthquakes and fires, and was like a brick, pressing straight down against the ground. Above the building, hundreds of ordinary people who had not had time to escape were all colorless, crying loudly. Between the eyebrows, it was already all despair. It is conceivable that if there is no miracle, then these dozens of people will only be buried alive under the rubble and burned to ashes.
A miracle has already appeared, and Cheng Li is a miracle. When it was too late, he stood as steady as Mount Tai with his feet in one point, his palms upward, and he pressed down against the building out of thin air.
In an instant, a large area of black gas emerged from the void, instantly supporting the entire building. The building, which weighed more than 10,000 pounds, was immediately stunned in mid-air, and it remained at an inclined angle of 60 degrees, and no longer moved for half a minute.
Immediately after, countless black tentacles erupted from above the dark battle body, reaching out in all directions towards the people trapped on the building. Each tentacle rolled up a civilian, and then sent him back to the ground safely.
In an instant, hundreds of people were rescued. Cheng Li immediately shouted, and his arms pulled inward. Countless dark tentacles then converged into a huge dark iron fist, following Cheng Li's movements, breaking through the air and blasting. Unbiasedly, the building in the middle is fixed at a 60-degree inclination.
"Boom~"
In the midst of the furious earthquake, the entire building was torn apart by the Dark Giant Fist. Countless broken bricks and trees, as well as all kinds of debris, were scattered and splashed in all directions. But the Dark Giant Fist was deployed in time, turning into a huge umbrella that blocked the heads of everyone on the ground, so that these sundries, which were originally enough to be deadly, could not be harmed at all.
escaped death, and the hundreds of victims were frightened for a moment, and immediately squeezed towards Cheng Li's side. Everyone ripped their throats open and shouted hoarsely. I couldn't hear who was saying anything. But it is nothing more than an expression of gratitude to the benefactor who saved his life.
Cheng Li waved his hand at them, and did not stop, jumped to another disaster site, and continued to save people non-stop. At the same time, another golden light also shone into the air, rushing into another disaster field. It is the "Roujing" who has re-put on the golden armor.
Black gas, clear shadow, golden light. The three of them each made a move, without touching the ground, and rushed all over the city. I don't know how many victims there are, because of the timely rescue of the three of them, they were lucky enough to escape from the ghost gate.
However, although Yongzhou City is not a big city, after all, it has more than 100,000 residents. No matter how hard Cheng Li, Xiaoqing, Bodhisattva Man and the other three try their best, how many people can be saved after all?
After saving another group of victims, Cheng Li suddenly felt something, and then jumped to the roof of a half-collapsed building. I looked around, but the earthquake had gradually subsided. The pillars of fire that erupted from the depths of the earth crack were not as blazing as before.
However, the rain of fire that had fallen before had already burned countless fires everywhere. The entire Yongzhou City was completely turned into an oven hell. If it continues like this, no matter how many people Cheng Li saves, it will be in vain after all. Because these people are all trapped in the fire, and there is no way out. Eventually, it will only be burned alive into charcoal. Turn the entire city of Yongzhou into a burning tomb!
