"I only beg... I only beg you, Master, to quickly lead everyone away from this place of trouble! I, Feng Lie, am begging you!"
The last few words were almost squeezed out through clenched teeth, filled with helplessness and despair.
He was just a squad leader, caught between the city lord's orders and Master Jingshi, and he was truly helpless.
Despite such earnest pleas, the monk Jingshi remained unmoved.
He ignored Feng Lie and stepped directly into the ruins.
The raging fire seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, and it actually moved aside, making way for him.
