Chapter 31: I Have a Way
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were terrifyingly fast!
Even Jiangnan struggled to keep up.
Back at Songjiang Spirit Martial High School, they had started team training since first year, coupled with years of hunting spiritual beasts in Ling Xu!
Their practical combat experience was extremely rich!
Their默契 was unparalleled—a single glance was enough to know what the other was thinking!
The gap was now evident…
Just then!
Jiangnan spotted three figures in black suits with black jackets among the crowd!
They charged toward the mall at terrifying speed!
Jiangnan could tell at a glance—these were soldiers, and they were incredibly strong!
Even without uniforms, their demeanor gave them away.
“Xuexue! Sister Xia Yao! Be careful—this isn’t simple. I’m afraid it’s no ordinary fire.”
Zhong Yingxue nodded. “It’s a peculiar fire set by a fire-type awakened! And their level isn’t low!”
At that moment, two furry ears suddenly sprouted from Xia Yao’s short silver hair!
Wolf ears?
“The person should still be in the mall. I can sense several powerful auras!”
But Jiangnan wasn’t listening to what Xia Yao was saying at all!
His eyes sparkled as he stared at the beast ears on Xia Yao’s head!
Wow!
Isn’t this way too adorable?
So this was Xia Yao’s beast transformation?
Probably not the full form…
Then… would the full form turn her into a wolf?
As he pondered, they had already arrived beneath the mall!
The area below was already cordoned off, and the surrounding crowd had been evacuated.
Several fire trucks were connected to fire hydrants, sending thick columns of water toward the mall building!
But it had no effect on the raging flames—this wasn’t ordinary fire!
Meanwhile, many water-ability spirit warriors at the scene were also using their powers to extinguish the fire!
Yet the fire was too fierce, and their efforts were a drop in the bucket.
What puzzled Jiangnan was that not only were fire trucks present, but also riot vehicles and a military vehicle!
Quite a few news reporters had also arrived, broadcasting live.
The fire had already engulfed the fourth and fifth floors and was spreading to the sixth!
The on-site reporter spoke into the camera:
“I’m Hu Shuo, reporter for News Channel!”
“It’s now 8:03 PM. A sudden fire broke out at Walmart in Jiangcheng. As we can see, the flames are ferocious. Jiangcheng Fire Department is actively conducting rescue operations!”
“Many warm-hearted water-ability spirit warriors are also lending a hand! But the situation remains grim!”
“The area below the mall is too narrow to set up air cushions! Many people are now trapped on the sixth floor with no way out!”
The camera then panned to the windows on the sixth floor!
A mother, holding her child, couldn’t bear the smoke and heat and was about to jump.
“Right now! Firefighters are setting up ladders to rescue people! Personnel from the Spirit Martial Association are also on the way!”
Zhong Yingxue looked anxious. “I’m not afraid of fire, but I can’t bring people down!”
Xia Yao paced in a circle, also frantic. “The sixth floor is too high—I can’t jump that far!”
Jiangnan’s face was serious. “I have a way!”
“Xiao Nan! You…”
Before either of them could finish,
Jiangnan pushed through the crowd to the front. Just as he tried to enter, an armed police officer stopped him.
“Little brother, it’s dangerous inside! Don’t go in!”
Jiangnan explained urgently, “I’m a spirit warrior! I have a way to save people!”
The officer paused, then said, “Alright! Go over there and register first. These are special times—precautions are necessary. Please understand! And be careful!”
Register?
Looking at the riot vehicle and military vehicle, Jiangnan knew this wasn’t simple.
Just as he was about to go register,
A sudden explosion rang out again! The fierce flames burst more than ten meters out through the windows!
Four figures leaped out through the windows and flew to the roof of the opposite building, then fled frantically!
Immediately after, a figure in a black jacket jumped down from the sixth floor!
“Boom!” It crashed onto a Jeep!
The Jeep was crushed flat by the impact!
The person who jumped from the sixth floor wore a beret and a black jacket,
The jacket was scorched with burn marks!
The woman wiped her smoke-blackened face,
Walked to the military vehicle, tore off the door, and threw it aside…
“After them!”
The military vehicle roared and sped off in the direction the few had fled.
Several hidden black-jacketed figures in the crowd also silently left, giving chase.
Jiangnan swallowed!
This woman… was way too violent!
What kind of freakish physical fitness was that?
Everyone was still reeling from the series of shocks!
But just then!
The woman standing on the sixth floor, because the fire was too intense, lost her footing and fell while holding her child!
The crowd gasped!
Even the reporter Hu Shuo was startled!
“Ah! People! People are falling!”
“What do we do! What do we do! What do we do!”
Jiangnan: “Damn! No time!”
“Brother! I’ll fill in the paperwork later!”
Before the armed police officer could react,
Jiangnan’s figure instantly vanished from where he stood!
What the hell?
Then, to everyone’s stunned gaze, Jiangnan’s figure abruptly appeared in midair,
Caught the mother and daughter who were falling,
And teleported again!
He landed safely!
Hu Shuo was stunned for a moment, then excitedly said, “Got it on camera? Did you all see that? Someone made a move! What was that? Teleportation? My god!”
“That was incredibly thrilling! Rushing into midair to save people! But thankfully, mother and child are safe!”
A cheer erupted from the crowd—nothing was more uplifting than this!
The armed police officer gave Jiangnan a thumbs-up!
Xia Yao jumped for joy. “Yeah! Xiao Nan was so cool! Teleportation! Real teleportation!”
Zhong Yingxue’s face flushed with excitement, and she clenched her small fists fiercely!
Her pretty face red with excitement—Jiangnan was still the Jiangnan in her heart!
The mother and daughter Jiangnan had just rescued looked at him with immense gratitude,
But due to excessive shock, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they couldn’t speak clearly.
“Auntie, don’t worry! You’re safe now! Do you know how many people are still in the mall?”
The mother stammered, “There are about fifty or sixty, I think. I’m not sure if that’s everyone—maybe more.”
Jiangnan’s heart sank when he heard that.
So many? The ladder wouldn’t be enough to rescue them all in time! By the time everyone was brought down, the fire would have already consumed the floors!
He quickly turned and said, “Firefighter comrade! There are too many people up there! I’m going in to save them first!”
The firefighter called out, “Hey, little brother! Put on a fire suit! It’s hot up there…”
But before he finished, Jiangnan’s figure had already vanished!
In less than ten seconds, Jiangnan was back, carrying one person in each hand.
Before anyone could speak, he disappeared again!
This time, Jiangnan was carrying two on his shoulders, two in his hands, and one tucked under his armpit!
It made everyone’s heart race!
In just one minute, Jiangnan had brought down more than twenty people using teleportation!
Both the onlookers and the firefighters and armed police cheered!
