Chapter 721 Raging Fire

Everyone went down and prepared separately. Although they didn't know what kind of checks and balances Ye Xiao could use under such circumstances, they were still preparing actively without any doubt. Only a limited number of people were left on the top of the city.

Ye Xiao, Song Jue, Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, Liu Changjun!

In Tiefeng Pass, only these five people were able to face this burning heat wave without any damage!

"I'm afraid this fire will burn for at least three days!" Song Jue sighed: "After this fire, there will be no life within a thousand miles! I'm afraid that within hundreds of years, it will be a barren land with no grass."

Ye Xiao looked at the flames that were getting closer and closer and could hit him at any time.

Ye Xiao could clearly feel the air around him getting hotter and hotter, and the land under his feet was gradually heating up, but he kept his face unchanged. His eyes were always calmly watching the fire approaching.

From the distance of hundreds of feet at the beginning, it has been burning within fifty feet now, and it only took two breaths!

The howling southwest wind blew faster and faster, and the wind helped the fire grow bigger and bigger. The flames were getting higher and higher, but now, it had not reached its peak.

However, ordinary people could not bear such heat.

Many people in the city had already suffocated; in addition to the high heat brought by the fire, all the air around was burned out. Now every breath seemed to be swallowing a piece of charcoal, and the throat was filled with an uncomfortable feeling of being choked and burned.

"I say, if we wait any longer, we will be completely roasted to death. Even if we can still support it, the ordinary soldiers below can't stand it." Song Jue maintained a delicate and long breath and said with difficulty.

Facing such flames and smoke head-on, even a master of Song Jue's level felt uncomfortable.

On the other hand, even Song Jue could not adapt to such an environment, let alone others!

Ye Xiao said coldly: "It's not time yet, wait a little longer."

"Still waiting..." Song Jue said bitterly.

Ning Biluo and the others were now flushed, and they were using their internal energy to try to withstand the heat wave.

"If you feel you can't stand it, you can go down first." Ye Xiao said, "The terrain down there is at least a little lower, and you won't be facing the flames like you are now, so it will be better."

Ning Biluo and the others shook their heads firmly.

"It's strange, I've encountered a fire like this before, and I was in the burning mountain, but I didn't feel so horrible, why now..." Zhao Pingtian breathed hard.

"The difference between the two is completely incomparable." Ye Xiao said calmly: "When a fire burns a mountain, no matter how dense the vegetation is, there will always be gaps; and with your cultivation, you can completely hide in a relatively safe place before the fire burns you, and at most you will just have to endure some high temperature baking; but there will be absolutely no worries about your life."

"The current situation is not comparable to an ordinary fire burning a mountain." Ye Xiao said: "This is a battle for the country, there is no room for escape, and there is also the help of the wind, which is overwhelming, and there is no gap at all! The whole ball of fire can be said to be spread throughout the space. No matter what, it cannot be avoided."

"Compared with the two, there is a fundamental difference between the two."

"If you guys just simply cross the fire, you may only suffer a little burn, and your life will definitely not be affected; but it is impossible to wade through this fire without any injury."

"As for those who are less cultivated than you, facing this fire, there is no life or death!"

After saying that, Ye Xiao actually smiled.

"You are such a big-hearted kid, you can actually laugh at this moment?" Song Jue looked at his beloved nephew in surprise.

'The opportunity for a great victory has appeared, why can't I laugh? "Ye Xiao looked at the opposite side and raised his chin slightly: "Look, the other side's Blue Wind Army is also retreating in a panic; because once the fire started, the enemy generals simply couldn't control the soldiers as usual. "

"They thought they were far enough away, but it was still not enough. "

"So their formation is now in chaos. "

"As the fire gets bigger and bigger, their formation will only become more chaotic!"

Ye Xiao said lightly: "When that time comes, it will be a good opportunity for us to attack!"

"Good opportunity? You are right, but tell me, how to attack?"

Song Jue frowned and pointed at the endless sea of ​​fire in front of him: "Now, the front has been completely blocked by the fire, and the city gate may have been burned down by now... How to attack? Rush out of the sea of ​​fire? "

"Then the soldiers have already turned into ashes before they even charge halfway. No, I'm afraid they can't even leave their ashes behind..."

Song Jue rolled his eyes: "In my opinion, if you can leave, leave as soon as possible. Don't pretend to be in control here... It's useless."

Ye Xiao chuckled and said no more.

The raging fire finally burned up to the top of the city. With a "whoosh", it rushed into the air, drowning the figures of Ye Xiao and several others!

On the opposite side, Wenren Chuchu and Wenren Jianyin held the Eagle Eye sleeve and endured the high temperature while carefully watching the other side of the city.

Even in the Eagle Eye sleeve, the air was full of twists and spasms. It was vaguely seen that the top of the city was full of people at first; densely packed, but after the fire started, almost everyone went down.

Only Marshal Ye was left, still wearing white clothes as usual, standing alone on the top of the city with a few masters under his command!

Such a scene made Wenren Chuchu feel sour in his heart.

Is that the so-called... unfulfilled ambitions, the sadness and helplessness of heroes at the end of their lives?

Under the close attention of Wenren Jianyin and others, the five people were like five statues, standing on the top of the city without moving, looking at the raging fire in front of them, as if they were completely indifferent, and as if they had already put life and death aside...

Wenren Jianyin also felt a subtle sense of empathy at this scene.

I believe that if it were me, I would probably... choose to live and die with the city, right?

I want to kill the enemy, but I can't save the situation. The hero is at the end of his life, and the warrior is desolate.

That's probably it.

"They are all good men!" Wenren Jianyin sighed and closed his eyes: "Ye Xiao is worthy of being Ye Nantian's son! Just based on this stubbornness of not retreating even if he would rather die, it is really admirable!"

Wenren Chuchu bit her lips tightly.

You, are you really helpless?

Then why didn't you just rush out?

With your cultivation, even if you are trapped in the army, you can still walk through dangers. What's wrong now? !

We are people who have unlimited futures and will be on the road of cultivation. How can we bury ourselves in such a secular battle because of a momentary impulse?

However, under the solemn gaze of millions of people, the burning fire finally burned all the way up under the urging of the strong wind, and submerged the entire city in one fell swoop!

The five people on the top of the city disappeared completely in the fire at that moment and could never be seen again.

It seems that they have turned into ashes in the fire!
