All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 253 Tax Evasion
Dangerous!
At that moment, upon seeing the character "danger" in his field of vision, Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat!
Danger is essentially equivalent to being invincible.

So far, I have fought two battles against Danger, one against the Double Flower Red Stick and the other against the Ancient Sorcerer.

The result was always a certain death.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the dark figure approached, the footsteps grew heavier. A figure over two meters tall slowly emerged from the shadows of the withered trees on the plain and walked into the moonlight before the city ruins.

Ji Ran's alchemical iris locked onto the tax official clad in armor.

He was clad in black armor, the plates resembling layers of scales, with a faint golden shimmer at the edges.

The raised shoulder armor featured a scarlet black bird emblem on the left and the ancient Chinese character for "Qin" on the right. This made his already imposing physique appear even more imposing, like a mobile war fortress.

His face was shrouded in a gilded helmet, revealing only his stubble-covered chin.

Bang!
At this moment, he stood in front of the red monster, exuding an oppressive aura of machinery and flesh combined.

"Ok?"

Ji Ran's eyes narrowed as he noticed a prison van following behind the tax official!
The prison cart was enormous, with grotesque, beak-like spikes on the cages and ancient seal script gilded on the cage posts.

Instead of wheels, the prison cart had four huge, wriggling claws that followed the tax collector like living creatures.

Huge monsters lay sprawled about, their bodies rising and falling slightly, but they seemed to be exhaling but not inhaling, half-dead.

But sitting among these monsters was a woman covered in blood.

The woman, dressed in a white shirt and black skirt with her hair tied in a high ponytail, sat on the corpse of a leopard-like monster with a look of utter despair.

"The traveler!"

Ji Ran looked at the woman's modern clothes and immediately realized that she was a captured traveler!
Why is this guy arresting people?
"Zizzi-"

At that moment, the tax official raised his head, revealing a pair of fiery golden eyes without pupils, only two jet-black rings swirling around them.

At this moment, he looked at the red monster in front of him.

"Demons whose brain capacity meets the standards should now pay the 'Five Constant Taxes,' which include Time Tax, Breathing Tax, Loyalty Tax, Gratitude Tax, and Labor Tax."

"A fee of 50 Yin-Yang coins is required every day."

"The demon race is level 4. The Five Constant Taxes are increased by 40%, and 70 Yin-Yang Coins are required."

"Additional taxes payable: Tithe tax on genetic seeds, and tax on combat art."

"They are 200 and 400 Yin-Yang coins per month, respectively."

"Total payable: 670 Yin-Yang coins."

The red monster understood, yet didn't quite understand.

But it knew that the guy in front of it... was not to be trifled with!

"Roar!"

With its face covered in blood and gore, it roared and turned to run away!
"warn!"

"If the violation does not cease within three seconds, reasonable collection efforts will be initiated."

"three."

"two."

"one."

boom!
The tax official suddenly moved.

He grabbed a palm-sized object from his waist and shook it!
Click!
In an instant, a ten-foot-long halberd was assembled in his hand!
The pitch-black halberd emitted a deep rumble, and the blood-red Xuan Bird totem on its body blazed brightly. As terrifying spiritual energy surged, it turned the edge of the halberd's blade crimson!

boom!
A surge of wind energy erupted from behind the tax official, propelling his heavy steel body upwards like lightning!

"Roar!!"

The red monster struggled to fight back, but was directly cut down by a single halberd!
Pfft!

"Ow—"

The halberd sliced ​​down the red monster's spine along its back! Blood gushed out, and the tax collector stepped directly onto its back!
boom!
The poor red monster had just been disfigured by Ji Ran, and now, it was being ridden on by a man who was almost as strong as itself, and it was forced to kneel on all fours!
The tax evaders have been executed.

"Diagnosis: The spine is damaged."

"Unable to perform corvée labor, their bodies can be dismantled and sold for transplantation."

creak-

A metal claw extended from the prison cart, grabbed the still-dying red monster, and threw it into the cart.

boom!
As the corpse was thrown in, the tax collector looked up. His fiery golden eyes reflected the empty city walls.

……

boom!
Ji Ran's figure darted swiftly through the city ruins!
The moment the tax officer made his move, Ji Ran turned and ran.

He killed the red monster with a single blow.

I just fought this monster. Its thick skin and tough flesh meant that even if I unleashed my full power, I couldn't seriously injure it.

The tax collector could kill it with one blow, and he could also kill himself with one blow.

A 10% spiritual recovery is far from enough for me to fight him!
boom! ! !
At that moment, Ji Ran heard a loud roar behind him!
He turned his head and saw that, under the moonlight, the collapsed city wall was torn apart and smashed by the blood-red halberd!

In the darkness, the blood-red halberd blade resembled a ferocious blood moon.

"Ugh!"

"Roar!!!"

"vomit--"

The loud noise startled the mutants out of the night.

Countless eerie black shadows emerged densely from the eaves, underground, ruins, and rooftops.

Bang, bang, bang!

The tax collector strode over, raising his halberd!
hum!
An electronically projected banner fluttered from beneath the halberd!

A scarlet character for "tax" fluttered on the projected banner covered with black bird patterns, as if awakening the deepest fear in the hearts of those mutants!

"Ow!!!"

Instantly!

All the mutants fled in panic, disappearing into every corner of the ruins, not daring to make a sound.

"grass!"

Ji Ran's expression changed drastically. He had been hoping that these mutants could hold that guy off for a moment, but he never expected that these beasts would be scared away by just one word!

What kind of fear is this that is so deeply ingrained in my heart?
Even if they lose their minds and become wild beasts, they will run away in terror when they see them.

Fortunately, Ji Ran had run decisively earlier and had already widened the distance.

At that moment, he didn't care about what was behind him and just ran wildly!

Taking advantage of his agility, he leaped and bounded, using the ruins to dodge.

But the tax officer seemed to be able to pinpoint his location and wouldn't let go!
He may seem clumsy, but he moves like a ghost, silent and swift as lightning! It's as if he's walking on the wind!
boom!
When Ji Ran climbed onto another courtyard, he suddenly paused.

In the courtyard, a cluster of firelight flickered, and a man in a red shirt was roasting a rabbit-like animal skewered on a stick.

The two people, one on the roof and the other in the yard, stared at each other.

A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air!
Traveler!
The same thought occurred to both of them at the same time!

Shuanghua Honggun immediately grabbed the stick and removed it from the fire.

But he couldn't bear to part with the nearly cooked weasel, so he held the skewers in front of him and looked at Ji Ran warily.

Ji Ran's expression was strange as he looked at the fleshy creature, but he immediately turned away!

boom!
He stepped off the roof, skimmed across the yard, and continued his escape!

"?"

The double-flower red stick was somewhat unexpected. Logically speaking, when two travelers meet, they should at least exchange blows to see if they can defeat each other.

But this guy just ran away?

They are bound to be the weak ones!
Shuanghua Honggun's eyes flashed. He didn't care that the ghost weasel wasn't cooked yet. He opened his mouth to swallow it so he could go after that weakling!

boom!
Right now!

The wall next to it instantly shattered!
Pieces of rock flew everywhere, smashing the Oni Weasel in his hand to pieces!

creak!

Shuanghua Honggun gripped his weapon tightly, his face grim!

"Nima!"

He turned his head sharply and saw a pair of blazing golden eyes in the dust.
