Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 428: Chapter 427 Fire at Lin Dong’s Home

The firelight originated from the outskirts of Beiguan Town, specifically from Lin Dong’s residence.

Heart filled with urgency, Su Yang raced toward the scene. To his despair, upon arrival, he realized that Lin Dong’s home was engulfed in flames.

Most of the house had already burnt down; under such an intense blaze, was there any hope for the survival of those inside?

The surroundings of the house were occupied by seven or eight people. Among them were a few Su Yang recognized, those who had lent money to Lin Ting at exorbitant rates, now here to collect debts from Lin Dong.

Faced with the roaring fire, these people were laughing wildly, treating it as if it were some cruel prank.

”Whimper...” Accompanied by a weak cry, a little puppy staggered out from the flames.

”Still trying to run!” The leader rushed forward and kicked the puppy back into the blaze, laughing maniacally, ”Damn it, this little bastard dared to let his dog bite me, today I’ll make him burn with these dead dogs into fragrant meat!”

”Hahaha, it even smells delicious!”

”Barbecued dog, Brother San really knows how to have fun!”

”Let’s take it out later and try it; I’ve heard dog meat is tasty, maybe even better roasted...”

The crowd continued to roar with laughter, oblivious that Su Yang had descended from the sky.

Su Yang ran straight to the front of the house, and only then did the people notice him.

”Damn it, it’s you!” The leader, recognizing Su Yang, immediately flew into a rage, ”It’s this son of a bitch, damn, who even aided that kid. Lucky you, being alive and not in the house. But, it’s just as well you’re here, saves me a trip to set your house on fire. Tell me, are you jumping in yourself, or do I have to chop off your limbs and throw you in myself?”

Without a word, Su Yang plunged into the inferno.

”Yo, got some sense to jump in yourself, huh?” The leader burst into laughter, ”What, that scared of me? Don’t worry, I have my principles. Since you jumped in yourself, it shows you have a good attitude about admitting your mistakes, so I’ll grant you a complete corpse!”

Su Yang didn’t pay him any attention and hurried to the little puppy’s side. Reaching out, he scooped up the little creature.

But the puppy was already burnt beyond saving.

Su Yang’s eyes reddened. These past few days at Lin Dong’s home, these puppies had frolicked around him and Ye Wantong, showing great affection. Now, these adorable little ones were charred.

Embracing the burnt puppy, Su Yang continued onward. Half of the house was yet to collapse, and as he moved through, he found several more puppies, turned to charcoal, each death more pitiful than the last.

Su Yang’s heart bled. He could revive the dead, even a deceased dog, provided their bodies remained intact.

These puppies were burnt to cinders; even as a Daluo Golden Immortal, Su Yang had no means to bring them back.

Just like when he saved Fatty’s father, the reason he insisted on preserving the corpse was precisely for this. Once the body is destroyed, Su Yang is helpless to reverse fate!

With the puppies in such a state, it was impossible for Su Yang to resurrect them!

Su Yang strode to the front of the remaining half of the house. The door was still shut, but mostly consumed by the fire now. Inside, flames raged with intensity, leaving no possibility of survival for those within.

Clenching his teeth, Su Yang pushed open the door and rushed inside. With a casual wave of his hand, he scattered most of the fire within.

Surveying carefully, Su Yang noticed that the fiercest part of the fire was on the bed. There, two people were tightly embraced; the outer one was charred black as coal, unmistakably Lin Dong’s grandmother.

Another person was Lin Dong. Lin Dong was pinned underneath his grandmother, so his situation was somewhat better, but there wasn’t a single part of his body that was unscathed.

Upon a glance, Su Yang’s expression suddenly changed because he realized that Lin Dong was still breathing.

Lin Dong was actually still alive!

Without any hesitation, Su Yang immediately rushed over, dispersing the flames around with one hand and grabbing Lin Dong’s wrist with the other, infusing True Qi to sustain his life.

By the bedside, there was a pillar that had burnt down to nothing. Next to the pillar, lay a curled-up, charred big dog—it was Da Huang, who had been burned to death.

Su Yang took a look and frowned once more.

The position of this pillar was on top of the bed’s crossbeam; even if it fell from the crossbeam, it should have landed on Lin Dong and his grandmother, who were on the bed, not at this spot.

However, there were no signs of impact on Lin Dong and his grandmother’s bodies. On the contrary, there were signs of collision on Da Huang’s head.

Clearly, when the pillar fell, Da Huang, anxious to protect its owner, had deflected the pillar, which was why it did not land on Lin Dong and his grandmother.

It was precisely because of this that Da Huang, who otherwise had the best chance of survival and was the most agile, ended up being the first to die here in the flames.

Lin Dong’s half-paralyzed grandmother exerted her last strength to push Lin Dong underneath her, saving his life!

Lin Dong’s life was saved by his devoted grandmother and the old yellow dog that the family had raised for years.

Tears welled up in Su Yang’s eyes as he looked at the curled-up Da Huang, and he couldn’t help but remember the scenes of Da Huang fishing with Lin Dong in the mountain streams and catching rabbits in the woods.

Lin Dong’s life was saved, but could he endure the blow of this trauma upon waking?

After a while, Lin Dong finally took a light breath. His life was saved, but he had been severely burned and was still unconscious the entire time.

Su Yang didn’t dare to rashly use silver needles to treat him; the scene was simply too bleak. The silver needles could wake him, but could he bear the sight of all that lay before him?

Picking up Lin Dong, Su Yang grabbed Da Huang with one hand and his grandmother with the other and dashed out of the house.

Meanwhile, outside, a few people were gathering around Ye Jiansheng, who had just arrived.

”Hey, old man, what are you shooting a movie or something? Dressed like that, and carrying a sword? What are you playing at, a swordsman?”

”Wow, that sword looks pretty sharp, Old Qi, sharper than your knife, I’d say!”

”Bullshit, can his sword compare to my knife?”

”I think they’re pretty close, why not have a try?”

”Try? Let’s try. Hey, old man, lend me your sword for a sec!”

Old Qi said as he reached out to grab Ye Jiansheng’s longsword.

Ye Jiansheng promptly sheathed his longsword, which made Old Qi lose his temper: ”What’s the matter with you, old man? I just wanted to take a look. You looking down on me or what?”
