In a one-on-one fight, neither of them could match Liu Guifang; they could only gain the upper hand when they cooperated and held hostages in their hands.

That's why they waited until noon, when the magic train arrived in Yangcheng, this godforsaken little city, before launching their attack.

There were monks on board the train, but definitely no mid-level monks. Monks of that level could be local tyrants in small towns; why would they be content to be ordinary train police officers?

Everything was meticulously planned, but the appearance of this mysterious figure completely ruined their plans!

boom----!

With a deafening crash, the carriage derailed and slammed heavily onto the ground. Already riddled with holes due to the magic, the carriage finally met its end, reduced to a pile of rubble.

The four of them were also left far behind.

"Shadow Escape - Invisibility!"

"Water Defense - Protect!"

"Radiance - Holy Shield!"

"Sand Shield!"

A mage's body is very fragile. Even a mid-level mage is not much stronger than an ordinary person. A fall like that would surely kill them.

In the midst of the crisis, the four used their own methods to protect themselves, landing either steadily or in a disheveled state.

"Bastard! Bastard!!" Lu Wanqing, his face covered in blood, staggered to his feet.

Guangyou's defense against physical damage was far less than that against magical damage. In his panic, he crashed to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs had been shattered!

Not far from him, a young man with blond hair stood up at the same time, and the shattered shield magic tool turned into light and disappeared into the air.

"Damn brat!" When Lü Wanqing saw Xu Fang's youthful face, the fear in his eyes immediately turned into cruelty: "Fire Burst!"

Unlike Liu Guifang and Tu Chao, who are both mid-level dual-elemental beings, Lü Wanqing's fire-elemental star map is not yet fully constructed.

But how old is this young man in front of me? He's probably not even an adult yet; a level three Fireball would be enough to crush him!

After all, even if someone is incredibly talented at that age, could they still be a mid-level mage?

—Even the Black Vatican couldn't pull off such a powerful cheat!

"Little brat, your magic power is exhausted, isn't it? I'd like to see what you'll use to resist!" Lü Wanqing said viciously. "Don't worry, I'll spare your life, but I'll subject you to the greatest torment imaginable. Finally, I'll drag you, half-dead, into the Ghost Acid Pool and turn you into a black, monstrous beast, neither human nor ghost..."

The blazing flames had already reached Xu Fang!

"You wasted my train ticket, ruined my luggage, and now you dare to threaten me..." Xu Fang was furious: "Who gave you the courage to hurt me with a mere mortal fire that doesn't even have a spirit seed?"

"Fire and Bone Burning!"

Fire versus fire!

Let me show you, you old cunning bastard, what the hell real fire magic is!!!

Chapter 20: You're risking your life for just a few hundred yuan a month?

The sinister look on Lü Wanqing's face had vanished, leaving only disbelief and confusion in his eyes!

why?

why is that? ?

Why would a low-level light-elemental mage like me unleash fire magic?

He thought he was seeing things, or that it was some kind of magical artifact. But the towering crimson light opposite him, the magnificent star trails around him, and the scorching heat coming his way told him that it was all real!

"Born with... dual systems?"

Lu Wanqing squeezed out these four words from his throat.

This blond brat has awakened the light, and even more so, the fire! He possesses a talent that is even more enviable than that of a naturally born spirit!

why?

Good heavens, are you blind?! Why waste such terrifying talent on a kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet? Why didn't you give it to me?!

why!

The resentment, fueled by extreme jealousy, was so intense it was almost tangible!

In just a few seconds, Xu Fang became the person he hated most in his life, without exception!

"Do you know how much I've been bullied before? Do you know how much ridicule I've endured? Just because I awakened the Light element, I'm penniless, powerless, and a fucking useless person!"

Lu Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot: "And when I finally became a mid-level mage and gained fire magic, you appeared! You made me a joke! A clown!"

"What I struggled for half my life, even falling into the clutches of the Black Vatican and living a life of constant danger, you were born with?!"

"Why!"

"I'm asking you, on what grounds?!"

His humiliation in high school, the lack of attention from the Tribunal, and joining the Black Vatican made his heart even more extreme!

He no longer held back his magic power; he had no intention of sparing Xu's life. He would use the flames of his rage to burn this damned brat to ashes!

"An inspirational story about a criminal? If it were written as a self-help book, it might sell out." Xu Fang sneered. "But there's one thing I need to correct you on: you didn't just struggle half your life, you struggled your whole life—because today is your last day!"

Feeling wronged?

I, Xu, am most skilled at influencing people. From today onwards, I guarantee you will never feel wronged again!

Fireballs met fireballs, like two meteorites colliding. A huge mushroom cloud rose from the top, flames flew everywhere, and nothing grew within a radius of several meters!

"How can it be!"

Lü Wanqing couldn't believe his eyes.

He watched helplessly as his Fire Burst, the moment it came into contact with Fire Burning Bones, vanished as if its spine had been ripped out, its inherent ferocity completely gone.

Generally speaking, the magical power released by ordinary mages, regardless of their cultivation level, is almost the same, with only slight fluctuations due to magical energy.

Once you advance to the intermediate level, you can cast spells much faster than a beginner mage, but the power remains the same.

Just like the Fire Burst skill used by Mo Fan and the Fire Burst skill used by Xu Dahuang of the City Monster Hunting Team, there is not much difference between them.

According to this theory, even if Xu Fang's level two fire attack is used to great effect, it is definitely no match for Lü Wanqing's level three fire attack.

But anything can happen unexpectedly... Xu Fang's flames are no ordinary fire!

"How could a beginner mage absorb a spirit seed..." Lu Wanqing watched helplessly as the flames swept in, but his spiritual world had no magic power to support defensive magic. He could only turn to ashes along with his last words.

This was Xu Fang's first murder.

Fortunately, Lü Wanqing's corpse had been carbonized, so it didn't smell bad, and its appearance was far less abstract than that of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf and the Giant-Eyed Bloody Rat.

Life is short, so seize the day!

The only valuable thing Lu Wanqing had was a demon-slaying tool, which he probably bought to make up for his lack of offensive means, but it was already broken.

"Damn it, a mid-level mage doesn't even have a decent magical tool." Xu Da was very dissatisfied: "And you're working two jobs? You're risking your life for a few hundred yuan a month!"

Although he said that, Xu Fang still honestly put away the demon-slaying tool. Even if it was expensive to repair, it was still better than spending millions to buy a new one!

Like an old man scrubbing a bathhouse, he turned Lü Wanqing over. Because he hadn't been directly exposed to the flames, the skin on this side was relatively well-preserved.

"what is this?"

Xu Fang frowned as he looked at Lü Wanqing's lower back, where there was a black, centipede-like mark.

Take out your phone, search it on Baidu, and you'll know!

"Succubus yin patterns? No way, this guy looks respectable but likes this kind of thing?" Xu Fang felt a chill.

If Lu Wanqing had a spirit in the afterlife, he would jump up and grab Lu Wanqing by the collar, yelling: You're the succubus! Your whole family are succubi!

This is called the Forgetfulness Worm! It's an exclusive product of the Black Vatican, capable of devouring the host's memories and evading the Oath Tree!

But clearly, Lü Wanqing didn't have that opportunity and could only endure Xu Fang's malicious speculation in humiliation.

After licking the bag clean, Xu Fang focused his attention and sensed the intense elemental fluctuations in the air in the distance. Tu Chao and Liu Guifang, two mid-level mages, were locked in a fierce battle.

Xu Fang couldn't control that.

The fight with Lü Wanqing just happened to end when they fell together. Lü Wanqing didn't have any offensive skills, so kicking him while he was down was just something he did on a whim.

Tu Chao is different; he's a mid-level player in two elements. Going there would be suicide!

It's a one-on-one situation; hopefully, the judge will be helpful...

······

After killing Lü Wanqing, Xu Fang did not linger but rushed into the city, even hitching a ride with a convoy of goods along the way.

After he casually tossed out a firecracker, the truck drivers greeted him with smiles and helped him into their vehicles.

These poor truck drivers in the suburbs are earning their living by risking their lives. Their only way to fight off demons is to floor the gas pedal; if there are more than three, they're doomed.

I never expected to be so lucky today, to have a great mage protecting me!

Yangcheng is an ordinary small city, just like Bocheng, where a mid-level mage can become a local tyrant.

Xu Fang inquired his way to the local Hunter's Alliance. In the hall, the hunter mages were loudly calling out to find teammates and suitable quests.

"Wind-type support! We need a reliable wind-type mage teammate!"

"A three-year veteran team, requiring water-type mages with strong mental fortitude, so they don't encounter demons and can't even connect to the star trails!"

"Flying Tiger Squad is recruiting a fire-type main damage mage. Bounty sharing and everything else are negotiable!"

Listening to these voices, Xu Fang always had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to Bo City. Could it be that all the Hunter Alliances in the world have this style?

His goal was to make a quick buck, but the bank cards damaged by the train explosion couldn't be replaced in a week, far less efficient than buying their financial products.

The Hunter Alliance is his best choice.

In the hall, mages waiting to join the team lined up, holding their resumes, which listed their joining date, bounty success rate, and the level of demons they had killed!

Xu Fang also asked the front desk for a ticket.

Unlike Bo City, there are no high school teachers here to constantly instruct him on the distribution and weaknesses of the local demons. Xu Fang really needs to find a reliable team.

After filling it out, he looked around the lobby and quickly found his target.

Flying Tigers, you're the one!
