Jiang Zuo sensed them the instant they appeared.

He then quickly appeared on the battlefield.

The Elemental Minions had been waiting on the battlefield for a long time, as if they too knew the enemy was coming.

The Elemental Army, which was originally just comprised of orbs, now had several members with limbs. These were the larger elemental orbs.

The leading Great Element of the Elemental Army raised its Fire Saber and commanded its forces south: "KILL!!!"

The Elemental Minions rallied in response, cheering: "We swear to protect our big brother to the death!"

KILL!!!

The battle erupted in an instant, sparks of fire flying everywhere.

However, the Fire Elemental Army that appeared this time was not made up of conventional Fire Elements. The Fire Elemental Minions were too ordinary and were no match for them.

Soon, the Fire Elements with limbs bypassed the defensive line and charged at Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo didn’t react much to the arrival of the Fire Elements. ’Just stomp them all to death,’ he thought.

So, he struck out, kicking the nearest Fire Element away.

But to Jiang Zuo’s surprise, it instantly got back on its feet, let out a cry, and charged at him again.

There were ten such Fire Elements in total. Jiang Zuo had to fight one against ten.

Jiang Zuo frowned and began to channel all his power to attack these ten Elements.

But no matter how many times he kicked them away or stomped them into bursts of flame, they just kept getting back up.

’Surprisingly tenacious.’

The ten Fire Elements roared, "Charge! He can’t kill us!"

Although he didn’t know what they were shouting, it certainly didn’t sound friendly.

Jiang Zuo then focused most of his consciousness here. He bypassed the ten Elements and led a group of his minions to charge into the enemy army.

The largest Fire Element was there.

’To catch bandits, first catch the king.’ He knew that trick, too.

The Fire Elemental Minions, fearless of death, swore to follow their big brother and carved a path of slaughter. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Charge! Let’s burn with our last light!"

The leader of the Fire Elements was completely unafraid of Jiang Zuo’s arrival. ’Trying to take my head from within an army of ten thousand?’

’In your dreams.’

It raised its Fire Saber and roared, "Destroy the heretic! Clear the name of the Fire Elements!"

The Fire Elemental Army let out a furious roar: "Destroy the heretic!"

"Destroy the heretic!"

The entire army swarmed Jiang Zuo. After shaking off the ten Great Elements, he appeared directly in front of the elemental leader and threw a punch.

The Fire Element was sent tumbling through the air.

Jiang Zuo gave it no chance, stomping down on it with one foot.

’Just because I can’t kill it doesn’t mean I can’t crush it.’

The Fire Element leader was bewildered. ’Defeated in a single exchange again?’

’I must have forgotten to go to the bathroom this time. It affected my graceful Body Technique.’

By the time it came to its senses, it found it couldn’t get up; it was being pinned down completely.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo gazed coldly at his surroundings. He didn’t mind challenging this endless army all by himself.

Pinning the leader under his foot, Jiang Zuo began his war against the army.

’They come at me every time I level up. Do they really think I’m undergoing a Crossing the Tribulation?’

The great war lasted for a long, long time. Even after Jiang Zuo successfully broke through to level 1.6, the battle continued to rage.

As long as the leader of the Fire Elements hadn’t left, the battle could not stop.

Jiang Zuo was no pushover. It wasn’t in his nature to stop until he had beaten these things into submission.

That’s what he had done in his past life.

’Kill everyone who’s noisy, and the world will become quiet.’

Jiang Zuo led his group of Fire Elemental Minions, forcibly drawing the Elemental Army into a war of attrition.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Jiang Zuo’s room was already a raging inferno.

The Elemental Army was no joke.

The gathering of Fire Elements caused the temperature to rise rapidly, and eventually, flames erupted, setting the villa on fire.

The fire burned for a full day and night.

The next day—or rather, the day after the fire started.

Boss He and a group of his employees stared blankly at the massive fire.

When Boss He received the notice the previous morning, he was stunned.

The house was on fire again, and the source was that room belonging to the guy named Jiang Zuo?

And again, it was impossible to extinguish the fire or rescue anyone?

Boss He was overcome with despair.

He never imagined he would lose another building just like that. However, he wasn’t as worried about Jiang Zuo anymore. The man was clearly anything but ordinary.

One fire might be an accident, but two or three times was definitely not.

"Boss, should we do anything about it? The kindling is just too good. It’s been burning all night and still isn’t out," an employee sighed.

Boss He: "..."

’What can I do? I’m despairing, too,’ he thought.

At this time, Chi Xue Child and the others arrived at the Rainy Cottage.

"Why is every room full? Isn’t that a little too fast? And how do reservations get priority over us just showing up?" Mo Yan complained.

"If you hadn’t started that fire, would we be wandering the streets? This is the last place. If there’s really nothing, we’ll have to sleep on the street," Chi Xue Child said, taking a vicious bite of his popsicle.

Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian pointed ahead and said, "Look, there’s a fire over here, too."

Mo Yan said excitedly, "See? I told you we weren’t the only ones starting fires."

"Please drop the ’we’," Chi Xue Child said. "But someone’s setting fires here, too? Has another Demon Cultivator snuck in?"

"That’s prejudice. Why does it have to be a Demon Cultivator who started the fire? Are you so-called normal Daoist Cultivators and practitioners of Cultivation always the good guys?" Mo Yan retorted.

Chi Xue Child shook his head. "Not necessarily, but they’re good at pretending to be decent people. They wouldn’t do something like this so brazenly. Or, they’d find themselves a suitable excuse to start a fire.

"They wouldn’t do it just because, ’I need to establish my might today, so I think I’ll burn down a house. While I’m at it, I’ll let people know how cruel I am by burning myself to death in the process.’"

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "..."

’That was just a mistake!’

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Forget it. Let’s go have a look. I heard most of the people staying here are ordinary folks. Maybe we can help."

They quickly arrived in front of the building, but when they saw a group of people standing around chatting while watching the fire, they were a bit stunned.

’Are they just watching the fire instead of putting it out?’

Chi Xue Child looked at the flames and said, "I sense elemental fluctuations. Was this fire started by a Mage? Speaking of which, there aren’t many Mages around here, are there?"

Liuyue Xue typed on her phone: *Liu Yiyi counts as half of one. She can use Holy Light. I’ll drag her over to show you all sometime.*

Upon seeing the message, Mo Yan immediately said, "Holy Knights... don’t group up with that class in the future. If you do, kick them out as soon as possible. So many people have regretted teaming up with Holy Knights. We have to guard against future problems."

Blade Master Hai Bian walked straight over and asked, "What’s going on here? Aren’t you going to put out the fire?"

Xiaoye came over just then and whispered, "Daddy said that uncle often starts fires, and they’re the kind that can’t be put out with water."

Blade Master Hai Bian’s eyebrow twitched. "Often starts fires?"

"Yup! Yup, this is the third time," Xiaoye said with a nod.

’This guy causes even more trouble than Demon Cultivator Mo Yan!’

Mo Yan said smugly, "See? This guy starts fires for fun. I only did it once, and you all blame me."

At that moment, Boss He said, "Could you folks help put out the fire? If you can, I’m willing to offer a Second-Grade Spirit Stone as a reward."

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan immediately jumped forward. "I’ll do it! I’ll do it! I have experience."

To all my dear readers, due to work, releasing three Chapters a day is too exhausting.

May I ask if you would allow this humble one to release two Chapters a day for the latter half of the month?

If not...

(Then just pretend I’m popping up to show I still exist.)
