Dragon Tamer
Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054 Chapter 1058 The Evil Bud

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1058: The Evil Bud Chapter 1054: Chapter 1058: The Evil Bud “The fire! The fire!!!”

Countless people began to scream.

Those who had run to the Wei Family’s door were stunned; they turned to go back to fight the fire, but a great blaze rolled in, trapping them outside the low hedge!!

“Save us, please save us!!”

“The Wei Family’s house isn’t on fire; hide in their house!”

A burly man pointed towards the courtyard of the Wei Family, leading everyone to seek refuge there.

But at that moment, Wei Zhuo stood up and, in front of the crowd, slowly closed the door to his own home.

As the wooden door gently swung shut, leaving only the sight of Wei Zhuo’s aged face, Wei Zhuo cracked a sinister smile and let out a sharp, roaring laugh, “Didn’t you say the fire wouldn’t spread to your homes!!”

“Please open the door, I beg you!! Old Wei, please open the door!!”

“Weren’t you the ones too afraid to partake in my family’s funeral banquet, fearing that entering my house would bring divine retribution down upon you all? What are you begging from me now!” Wei Zhuo’s voice carried from inside the door.

The crowd pounded on the door furiously, even starting to ram it, yet the fragile wooden door seemed to be held back by some immense force and would not budge.

Some tried to climb over the low hedge, but the same bizarre occurrence took place–the hedge was low enough to jump over, but they simply couldn’t flip over it!

The blaze was spreading rapidly.

It was strange indeed; though the Yin Fire enveloped the buildings, it did not burn down the structures or beams. Instead, the startled cats and dogs that tried to dash through the flames would catch fire upon contact and within moments, be reduced to piles of blackened bones!

“This is Yin Fire; it only burns the living!!”

“It can’t be extinguished with water!!”

“Please spare us, have mercy on us!!!!”

The flames roared, the entire neighborhood swathed in Yin Fire. However, this kind of fire didn’t emit bright light or heat, nor was there any telltale black smoke from the combustion, rendering others in different blocks completely unaware that this place had become a fiery hell.

One by one, the living were burned to death. Initially, there were frantic cries and screams outside the Wei Family’s door, but gradually, they too fell silent.

It wasn’t until then that Wei Zhuo finally opened the door. The Yin Fire curiously did not spread into his home. Seeing the street devoured by Yin Fire, Wei Zhuo’s wrinkled face bore a sinister smile.

Every day upon opening his door, the scene down the street was the same, indeed somewhat dull.

Today’s scene, however, held its own kind of beauty–black bones, pile after pile.

Sometimes, people are truly foolish; facing the onslaught of flames, they still clung to each other, not realizing that huddling together made them burn even brighter like kindling, that the flesh melting together only heightened their agony!

“Wah wah wah wah~~~~~~~~”

Suddenly, the cry of an infant pierced the air.

Wei Zhuo turned his head and saw the famously venomous, fat Mrs. Zhou from next door. She clung to the hedge, her hands raised high holding the infant she had been carrying.

The fat woman had already been reduced to a pile of blackened bones, but her skeleton still maintained the pose of lifting the infant high. The flames did not burn high, and thus the infant had been miraculously spared.

“Tsk tsk tsk, how commendable. In your mouth, every household in the street was as mean and indifferent as yours, engaged in sickening dealings with the others. Yet, for such a small child, when the Yin Fire crept onto you, you didn’t move an inch. Others’ bones have scattered from struggling on the ground, yet you’ve been roasting so long without flinching. Unexpected indeed, I really didn’t see it coming; you, this wicked woman, can go to such lengths for a child… but are you the only one with a child!!!”

“My child, when they died, did you utter a single human word!!!”

Wei Zhuo roared at a pile of black bones, bellowing like a crazed beast, his aged body filled with a terrible aura!!

“Waah waah waah~~~~~~” The infant, lifted up, cried out. The cloth’s isolation saved him from being scorched by the flame spreading up from the Zhou family daughter-in-law; Yin Fire only burns living things.

Wei Zhuo walked over, he lifted his foot and ruthlessly kicked into the pile of black bones…

The skeleton scattered, and the infant likewise dropped.

Just as the infant was about to fall into the Yin Fire, a Crimson Flying Sword, like thunder, passed through the cloth bundle that was wrapping the infant, rescuing the infant from the flames.

The Crimson Flying Sword was carrying the infant using its back, not its edge. The infant, flown high into the sky and yet to understand the world’s suffering, instinctively reached out to touch the Flying Sword…

“Whoosh~~”

The Sword Spirit Dragon saw this and quickly rotated the sword, turning the sharp side up to avoid hurting the ignorant infant.

But with this twist, the upward-facing edge, being too sharp, easily sliced through the cloth bundle, causing the infant to fall out, plummeting from the sky.

Atop the eaves, a man leapt up, catching the falling infant in mid-air, then with one hand cradling the infant to his chest, and the other grasping the falling Crimson Sword.

Standing on high ground, Zhu Minglang glanced over the street, seeings bones strewn everywhere.

He looked again at the infant in his arms; the child, not knowing fear nor tragedy, having just experienced a flight and fall, instead began smiling happily.

Zhu Minglang sighed softly.

Some things, it’s as if they have been arranged by Xie Cang.

Zhu Minglang and Wen Lingfei, two Superior Gods, were lingering near this tragedy, yet they were always outside the cause and effect, as if no matter how carefully they tried, they could not prevent this catastrophe from happening!

Perhaps Star Painting, the Prophet, could have changed this, but Zhu Minglang and Wen Lingfei were powerless.

Fortunately, they managed to save such an infant.

…

The Yin Fire couldn’t be extinguished, and some clever people had climbed onto rooftops, one could see them praying in the darkness, hoping for salvation for themselves and their families.

Wen Lingfei was already helping with the rescue, Zhu Minglang could not allow the Yin Fire to continue spreading to other districts. Such flames were too deadly, so he had to quickly deal with the arsonist who had released the Yin Fire!

Zhu Minglang, holding the infant, jumped down to the ground.

Where he landed, the Yin Fire automatically dispersed, God’s Light shining brightly, dark entities like Little Demons and monsters seeing a holy figure, fled in terror.

Zhu Minglang walked up to Wei Zhuo.

Wei Zhuo looked much older than before, whether from grief and pain or some other reason was unclear.

Zhu Minglang used his Divine Sense to lock onto Wei Zhuo, to see what had possessed him. How could a kindly man suddenly turn into this? But all Zhu Minglang saw was Wei Zhuo’s own soul.

So this was Wei Zhuo himself, not bent down by any Monster…

Then where did his power come from??

Zhu Minglang could even feel an aura emanating from him, as cold and fierce as that of an Ancient Yao!

How could a Mortal suddenly possess such a terrifying Cultivation Base??
