Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1340 - 1390: Surviving in the Fire

Na Yi held tightly to Li Yifei’s waist, the current situation had completely frightened her. Having lived in the mountains and forests, she was quite fearful of wildfires, knowing that if caught in a sea of flames, the chances of survival are indeed very slim.

Li Yifei appeared calm at this moment, looking up as he said, "You are truly ruthless. I just don’t understand. It’s my first time in Miaojiang, and I believe I have no enemies here. Why do you want to kill me?"

"Li Yifei, do you also have moments of discontent?" The other party asked loudly from the cliff above.

Li Yifei shouted loudly, "Indeed, I am discontent. Even if I die, I want to know the truth behind it. You wouldn’t deny me this wish, would you?"

"As for this... let me tell you, make you a ghost who understands. Your mistake was going to war with the Song Family and Sunx Family. Did you really think that a newly established clan like yours could contend with families as large as ours? That’s impossible."

"So it’s the Song Family and Sunx Family. You really have a long reach. I underestimated you."

"Our Song Family may develop in a single province, but we cultivate talent beyond just one province. Large families in each province mutually cultivate talent, ensuring they prosper smoothly without inviting gossip. Right here is an important member of our Song Family. Now do you understand why you must die?"

"It seems I understand. Song Zude, Sunx Fugui, you really are ruthless. I will not spare you," Li Yifei roared, his voice carrying a tone of pain.

"Haha, Li Yifei, rest assured, after your death, our two families will manage the Li family’s assets well for you. As for your woman, we’ll take good care of her, ensuring she can have several children, haha."

"Remember this, I will not spare you." Another roar came from below, but the thick smoke already covered the area completely, making it impossible to see the situation below from above.

This time, the Song Family and Li Family brought a large number of people, a total of over two hundred. Most were concentrated on the outskirts, working hard to clear the firebreak. They couldn’t let the wildfire spread, as uncontrolled fire could lead to significant consequences.

As they set the fire on one side, they started clearing the firebreak on the other, concentrating the wildfire near the cliff. After clearing the firebreak, those people kept guarding the perimeter. They were ordinary soldiers, unaware of who they were dealing with, only knowing to follow orders.

By dawn, the large fire gradually extinguished. Over such a long period, Li Yifei hadn’t managed to escape, clearly burnt to death. Song Liansheng immediately ordered the ordinary soldiers to leave, leaving only him and six direct members of the Song Family behind.

They didn’t want the ordinary soldiers to know too much, and since the task was complete, they drove them away to finally find Li Yifei’s body in the ashes.

Where the fire burned, only ashes remained. Though still hot, sweeping the ground with branches allowed them to walk through unencumbered.

With every sweep, an undepleted bamboo occasionally exploded with a loud bang, which made everyone tense. Even knowing that Li Yifei wouldn’t survive, they dared not relax. After all, Li Yifei’s big name loomed over them, causing heavy psychological pressure even if he were dead.

The outskirts shouldn’t pose much of a problem; Li Yifei couldn’t rush into the firestorm, so his body should be in the area below the cliff where there’s no bamboo. That’s precisely where Li Yifei resided.

Though there was no bamboo there to burn, the area was too small. Even if Li Yifei and Na Yi hid there, the fire still could roast them, leaving absolutely no chance for survival.

However, when they reached there, they completely failed to find Li Yifei and Na Yi’s bodies. Looking around, they still couldn’t find anyone’s corpse, which stirred nervousness among them.

"What’s going on? Could he have not died in the fire?" Someone whispered beside Song Liansheng.

The six tightened their nerves again, another hesitantly speaking, "That can’t be possible, right? With such a big fire, not even immortals could survive."

"Then where is he?"

"Could he have been reduced to ashes? Given how large the fire was, and it burned for so long, it’s possible they were completely burnt to ashes."

"Is that possible?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? Don’t they incinerate people to ashes at crematoriums? I think they’ve certainly been reduced to ashes. Let’s keep searching thoroughly."

At this, everyone felt it was likely. Standing amid the ashes, it felt scorching, and Li Yifei must have faced even higher temperatures within the fire. How could he have survived?

This time, they scrutinized thoroughly, using branches to probe the ashes, searching for any bones.

"Ah, found it! Found it!" Someone exclaimed loudly.

The others rushed over and saw several bone fragments exposed in a heap of ashes, surrounded by ash, causing excitement among them.

"Haha... I’ve made a big contribution this time!" Song Liansheng laughed triumphantly, having killed Li Yifei here was indeed a substantial accomplishment, leading to greater support from the Song Family henceforth, promising considerable growth.

"Third Master, you must look out for us in the future."

"Yes, Third Master, we’ve been following you all along; don’t forget us."

These were Song Liansheng’s main assistants, now flattering him.

"Don’t worry, follow me well, and I won’t treat you poorly. When I report to the old man, I won’t forget to mention your merits, and rewards will surely await you."

"Thank you, Third Master! Thank you, Third Master!"

"I knew following Third Master would be worthwhile."

"Indeed, you must give your lives for him."

A sudden voice arose behind them.

"Who?" They turned simultaneously, seeing two people standing five or six meters away: Li Yifei and Na Yi, both covered in dirt as if emerging from the ground.

Li Yifei and Na Yi really did come from the dirt. Realizing they couldn’t escape the wildfire, Li Yifei hatched a plan, first talking to Song Liansheng above to find out who was targeting him. Once the smoke fully concealed his figure, he quickly started digging a pit.

Li Yifei’s hands were incredibly strong, though without tools, they acted like steel shovels, soon digging a pit over a meter deep for the two of them.

He then embraced Na Yi down into the pit, burying them in dirt, finally kissing Na Yi and tossing their heads as if they were mice, burying their heads in the soil too.

Despite the circumstances, Li Yifei could still feel the heat from above, so he kept digging below, only loosening the dirt before pulling Na Yi down further.

Initially, Na Yi was very flustered. Though Li Yifei kissed her, she felt nothing. Despite avoiding the flames, they’d soon suffocate.

But after some time, she realized whenever breathing became difficult, Li Yifei would transfer oxygen to her, preventing any sense of suffocation.

Though relieved, she worried, unsure how long Li Yifei could sustain this, as the wildfire wouldn’t end quickly.

Once Li Yifei dug half a meter deeper, they no longer felt the heat from above. Li Yifei wriggled his body, soon creating space between them.

The soil above wasn’t dense, allowing air to seep through gaps, and the filtering prevented smoke, keeping the space filled with clean air. Li Yifei released Na Yi’s lips.

Though possessing Innate Vital Energy now, allowing longer breath-holding, providing Na Yi with oxygen exhausted him, necessitating external air.

This method proved effective; hot air rose while smoke ascended, leaving a cool, breathable area below with pure air, causing no issue for them.

Na Yi’s mind finally eased, finding the situation amusing upon relaxation. She shifted around like a little bug, letting out a gentle laugh.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile, surprised Na Yi could still laugh in such conditions.

After playing a bit, Na Yi stopped and snuggled into Li Yifei’s embrace, slowly moving her lips to meet his. Initially preoccupied with breathing, but now, recalling the sensation, she found it delightful, leading the affectionate Miao girl to seek Li Yifei again.

In this confined space, Li Yifei couldn’t evade, allowing Na Yi to kiss him. The moist lips meeting his ignited his emotions uncontrollably.
