Xu Shenxing wasn't afraid of fire. The highest temperature he had ever experienced was over six thousand degrees Celsius. Other than his clothes being burned, he was almost unscathed. He was at the level where he could even take a stroll on the surface of the sun.
However, neither Xiao Zhengyi nor the old Taoist priest had the ability to do so.
In fact, the old Taoist priest's beard had been singed by the fire, and it had been cut short …
"Don't take the elevator when there's a fire! Use the stairs! "
Xiao Zhengyi had just opened his mouth when the stairs outside the door were completely blocked by the flames.
Not only that, but the stairs below had also started to crack because of the flames. Because the flames had blocked their vision, they couldn't even see if the stairs were still intact.
Then, the sound of the elevator crashing came from the elevator.
For a moment, it seemed that all the escape routes had been cut off.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that I, Yun Tianji, would actually die here!"
The old Taoist priest looked up at the sky and sighed tragically.
This was the ninth floor of a luxurious apartment. Even with his cultivation, if he jumped from such a high height, there was no other outcome other than falling to the ground …
"Old Xu, do you have any ideas?"
The smoke in the room became more and more suffocating. Xiao Zhengyi covered his mouth to prevent himself from breathing in too much smoke and carbon monoxide. At the same time, he asked Xu Shenxing in a muffled voice.
He naturally knew that this kind of fire wouldn't cause any substantial harm to Xu Shenxing.
Xu Shenxing turned off the tap, and the water in the pipe gushed out. However, this amount of water was really just a drop in the bucket for the current situation.
Under normal circumstances, it was obviously not safe to use water to extinguish a fire caused by electricity … but now, Xu Shenxing couldn't care less.
"This fire can't hurt me. If I wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to take you guys away …"
Xu Shenxing frowned and replied.
He wasn't lying. As long as he opened his cloud scale, the fire wouldn't be able to hurt him and the two people around him. If one was afraid of being buried alive, jumping down from the balcony was not dangerous at all.
Even if he encountered a situation where he really couldn't do anything, he could at most take out his holy sword and cut open a space crack, then take Xiao Zhengyi and the old Taoist back to Sakura Apartment directly (physically).
However, if that was the case, the residents on the upper floor of this luxurious apartment were basically doomed.
As for the residents on the lower floors, they would be finished if the floors collapsed.
As the savior of the world, Xu Shenxing's weakness of being invincible only in terms of destruction was undoubtedly revealed at this time.
He took a deep breath.
Then, he coughed as he inhaled the smoke.
"Anyway, I'll take you out of here first." After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Shenxing pulled the two of them up. Then, he quickly broke through the window and jumped down from the building.
With a loud thud, they landed safely on the ground.
Well, it would be wrong to say that they landed safely. The marble floor in front of the building had a crater that looked like a frying pan because of their landing. In the middle of the crater, there were dense spiderweb-like cracks. Perhaps the impact of their landing had affected the underground water pipes. Some of the cracks were still spraying water.
"So exciting, so f * cking exciting …"
At this time, the old Taoist, whose hair had become similar to a Mohawk because of the rapid fall, kept muttering to himself as if he was possessed. After this incident, he was also fascinated by the unique facilities in various amusement parks. However, this was a story for another story.
Xiao Zhengyi, on the other hand, just took a few quick breaths and calmed down again.
He looked at Xu Shenxing and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? Save them."
Xu Shenxing shrugged and replied with a wry smile.
He turned around, raised his head, and looked at the luxurious apartment building that had become a giant torch. "Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it …"
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility?"
Xiao Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and joked.
"Unfortunately, I'm not Little Spider."
Xu Shenxing, who was walking toward the fire, turned his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary savior who is interested."
"Saviors aren't ordinary anymore, right?" Xiao Zhengyi complained.
However, Xu Shenxing didn't continue to communicate with him. Instead, he waved at him and rushed toward the building, leaving only one sentence for Xiao Zhengyi.
"I'll leave the intelligence operation to you."
Rushing into the scene of a fire to save people was indeed very similar to what a superhero in comics or movies would do.
However, what was more disappointing was that Xu Shenxing couldn't fly, and his perceptive ability was very weak. He couldn't find the victims all at once like Superman and then save everyone in a whoosh.
He even had to go against the flow of the disaster victims who had escaped from upstairs. Since ancient times, he was probably the only superhero who had to squeeze through the stairs to save someone.
Fortunately, because it was still working hours, the number of residents staying in the apartment was not many.
Moreover, the fire hadn't spread to the bottom, so the escaping crowd was still in an orderly manner. So far, there hadn't been any incidents of trampling.
Xu Shenxing, who felt that it wasn't a good idea to squeeze in like this, simply put one hand on the handrail, and with a slight force, he jumped up and onto the narrow handrail.
Although some people who witnessed this scene exclaimed, Xu Shenxing knew that now wasn't the time to pay attention to that.
The narrow road alone couldn't hinder his pace. On the contrary, because there were no people blocking the way and squeezing the crowd, he easily rushed to the fifth floor like a gust of wind.
There was a gap in the stairs further up. The escaping crowd stood at the broken stairs. The more than three meters wide was obviously not a distance that could be easily jumped. This kind of desperate situation made them cry out in sadness.
"Don't just stand there! Take out the bedsheets and other things in the room! "
Xu Shenxing shouted at those people.
A few young people seemed to realize something. They ran back to the room on their floor and took out bedsheets and some other messy things.
According to Xu Shenxing's instructions, after twisting the bedsheets into thick ropes and throwing them to him, Xu Shenxing quickly used the bedsheet ropes and smashed chairs to make a simple bridge.
It was true that this kind of bridge didn't look very safe, but for people in desperate situations, it was very easy to choose between overcoming this fear and walking across the bridge or staying in the building and suffocating to death from the smoke or being burned alive by the flames.
