Chapter 216 Earth Fire
A few minutes later, a card was brushed through the crack of the door, and the entire door was immediately pushed open from outside. The person came very cautiously, his movements were very light, and there was almost no sound.
As the door closed and the light shining in from outside the window, Jiang Lai vaguely saw a narrow figure appearing on the ground. The man slowed down and slowly touched the bedroom.
However, the other party probably didn't expect that Jiang Lai had noticed it long ago, and had been hiding in the corner of the living room, watching coldly.
Judging from the body shape, the person coming should be a man. Because the light is too dark, it is not clear. However, the man's body emits a powerful spiritual fluctuation, at least he is a strong man at the level of a master.
A dignified master of the Grandmaster's realm actually uses such despicable means. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable.
When the bedroom door was pushed open, the man did not dare to poke his head in, but carefully exposed a gap, then took out something from his pocket and threw it directly onto the bed.
In an instant, a blazing flames burst out, instantly covering the bed, a long fire snake swept out, and the glass around it exploded directly.
The moment the flames ignited, the man broke the window and fled out without a moment. Seeing the other person's back disappearing from sight, Jiang Lai walked to the window and saw that the figure quickly rushed into an alley not far away.
At the same time, the rolling flames spread out from the bedroom, wrapping the door. In just a few seconds, the wooden door was burned to ashes.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai was secretly surprised. What a terrifying flame. If he was contaminated with this kind of flame, it would be hard to say whether he could escape. I don’t know who had a deep hatred with him, but he actually used such vicious means.
At this time, the man who had escaped seemed to be afraid of someone following him, so he turned around in the narrow alley and kept going around. After about ten minutes, he appeared at the door of a convenience store that was open for 24 hours.
Next to the store door, there is a public telephone booth.
The man waited for a while, and the phone rang suddenly. He hurriedly picked up the receiver, fed it, and said, "It's done!"
"Are you sure you watched him die with your own eyes?"
The man smiled bitterly, "You are not unaware of his perverts, so how dare I stay more. Although that thing is very powerful, it will be difficult to kill him for a while. If he fights back, I will be finished."
"So, you can't be sure he's dead?" The voice on the phone was a little cold.
"Then...will I go back and have a look?"
"Stop challenging my patience. If you can't even handle this little thing, what's the use of me keeping you?" After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
"call!"
The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a breath. As soon as he thought of the horror of that person, he trembled all over. Oh! Who said that he was not lucky? He was assigned to such a task.
A bottle of high-purity Erguotou was bought at a convenience store. The man drank 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 flames and the fire soared into the sky, dispelling the darkness of Yihe Town. The hotel guests and people nearby gathered on the road, pointing and talking.
Not long after, two fire trucks arrived one after another and began to control the fire at the scene.
"Mr. Cheng, have you seen Jiang come?"
The evacuated quicksand looked anxiously at the room engulfed by the fire.
Cheng Hua frowned and shook his head, "I didn't see anyone, and the phone could not be reached. 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."
"Since it's okay, why don't you see anyone?"
"This... I don't know, maybe he's out."
"Impossible, he came back with me. Moreover, he lives next to me. If he leaves, I will definitely hear the movement." At this point, Hai Liusha murmured: "No, I must go up and take a look."
After saying that, she ran straight towards the hotel despite Cheng Hua's dissuasion.
Seeing this, Cheng Hua hesitated for a moment, then followed him and returned to the living floor from the safe passage.
In the corridor, several firefighters who tried to break into the fire all retreated, and their fire uniforms were burned down, and they were in a mess. Cheng Hua looked at them a few times, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed the quicksand that was rushing forward and said in a deep voice: "Don't go over, it will be dead."
"Why?"
Cheng Hua pointed to the blazing flames filled the corridor with a solemn expression, "This is not an ordinary flame, but a ground fire."
"Earth Fire?"
"Not bad!" Cheng Hua nodded, "In the Taoist Sect, some people specially collect 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, the human body will be burned to ashes within a few seconds, and even the people in the Taoist Sect will not be spared. It is obvious that this fire was deliberately created by someone, with the purpose of killing Mr. Jiang."
Hearing this, Hai Liusha's face turned pale, "Will Jianglai not..."
"Oh!" Cheng Hua sighed. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew the horror of Earth Fire. Even if Jiang Lai had a high level of cultivation, he would not be able to escape unscathed. He originally wanted to use Jiang to protect his own conscience, but who knew that this would be the result.
The next morning.
The flames that had burned for half a night finally went out and the entire hotel was burned. Fortunately, the hotel owner was insured, otherwise he would have lost his life.
At this moment, outside the crowd, a lonely figure stood alone, looking at the burnt hotel with a calm expression. After last night, he secretly left the hotel, hid nearby, and observed secretly.
He originally wanted to contact Cheng Hua and Hai Liusha to tell them the truth, but then he thought about it and gave up the idea.
Since someone wants him to die, he might as well follow the other party's wishes and temporarily "disappear" from this world. Only in this way can he obtain more comprehensive information. As for Cheng Hua and Hai Liusha, only by making them think they are dead will they not arouse others' suspicion.
While thinking, a familiar figure left the crowd and quietly walked towards the alley behind him.
Jiang Lai raised his lips slightly, his toes lightly, and immediately followed him.
More than ten minutes later, it was still a public telephone booth outside the convenience store. After answering the phone, the man was about to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud "boom" sound, and the entire telephone booth exploded instantly and fires flew everywhere.
"Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by a series of explosions, not only the telephone booth was razed to the ground, but also the convenience store next to it was affected, and half of the store collapsed.
