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

Chapter 254 Threesome

boom!
Ji Ran stepped onto a rooftop and used his broken blade to slice down a mutant hiding in the shadows of the roof ridge.

Has it stopped?

Ji Ran slowly exhaled.

tired.

How long has it been since I felt tired?

Since I rose to become a courtier on the mudflats of the Southern Han Dynasty, I have hardly felt this kind of fatigue.

Tick ​​tock!

His fists were still dripping blood. Luan Ke's natural regenerative abilities had also been weakened several times over after his spirituality was sealed.

The pain of the fractured bone made him grimace.

10% of her spirituality flowed within her, but Ji Ran couldn't bear to use it.

He could sense that this spirituality wasn't unlocking 10% of his spiritual power, but rather giving him 10% of his spiritual energy, which would be gone once it was used up.

What a pit!

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Ji Ran's expression changed!
He saw the tax officer chasing after him again!

What's going on? I didn't hear any fighting sounds! Ji Ran didn't have time to think, so he jumped off the roof and tried to escape again!

Bang!
He jumped to the ground, touched the ground with his hand, and felt a piercing pain in his broken bone!
Ji Ran's heart skipped a beat!
can not be like this!

My injuries are getting worse, and I'm not feeling any spiritual energy. I need to find an opportunity to treat them!
Why did the tax official find him?
Ji Ran suddenly remembered that when the tax official first arrived, he said he had discovered three targets, but after killing the red monster, he immediately chased after him... He didn't care about the dead traveler!
Moreover, there were no dead people or demons on his prison cart.

Dead people don't have to pay taxes.

An idea popped into Ji Ran's mind. He gritted his teeth, rushed into an abandoned house ahead, and sat down cross-legged!

hum!
Ji Ran's primordial spirit suddenly left his body! His physical metabolism and condition immediately entered a state of suspended animation! His breathing and heart rate were extremely low!
not enough!
Ji Ran's primordial spirit slowly landed on his forehead, continuously reducing the activity level of his physical body.

His breathing stopped, his heart temporarily stopped beating, and only his blood flowed extremely slowly.

Like a real dead person.

Bang!
Bang!Bang!
The tax collector's footsteps were already approaching the house.

Ji Ran's primordial spirit eyes were tense; he was also gambling!
If he gambles wrong, he can only return to his physical body and use 10% of his spiritual power to create an Inch-Boundary to escape again.

Boom—Boom—

The sound of the prison cart rolling by echoed all around, slowly fading into the distance.

Ji Ran's primordial spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he remained vigilant and motionless. The murderous Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo floated around him like a wolfhound protecting its master.

For a full ten minutes, Ji Ran could not hear a sound at all before his spirit returned to his physical body.

After sitting quietly for a while, my stiff muscles were finally able to move.

Ji Ran stood up and jumped onto a rooftop.

As the moonlight gradually descends, at the edge of the crimson sky lies a vast, bustling city ablaze with lights! Looking up at it from here, I am but a grain of sand.

Ji Ran slowly adjusted her breathing and turned to look at the courtyard she had just left.

That red-clad traveler is suspicious.

It seems he wasn't attacked by the tax officials!
……

A campfire is burning.

It illuminated the woman's dirty face.

"Thank you."

The woman was covered in blood and unidentified liquid, her white top clung to her body, and gruesome scars were visible on her calves beneath her black skirt.

She has a beautiful face, long and clear eyes, a high nose bridge, and fair skin. Although she has a bit of baby fat, she has a mixed-race look.

Across the campfire, Shuanghua Honggun looked helpless and said, "70 Yin-Yang coins per person, that's 140 coins gone in one go."

"This is just the price for one day. If I run into that tax officer again, he'll just bankrupt me." Having just encountered the tax officer, Shuanghua Honggun made the right choice.

After the tax official pronounced his debt of five taxes, he promptly paid 70 coins.

Because of his pure human identity and the fact that no trace of combat was discovered by the tax officials, he was exempt from the gene seed tithe and the fighting art tax.

After paying the taxes, the tax official politely issued him a "Certificate of Untouchability".

They praised him as a model of the lowly and asked him if he would be willing to pay the taxes for the demons in the prison cart.

Despite the dying demons kowtowing frantically in the prison cart, Shuanghua Honggun shook his head vigorously, resolutely refusing!
[Certificate of Untouchable: Those who pay less than 1000 Yin-Yang coins in a single tax payment are foolish, lazy, and lack loyalty and gratitude; they are not permitted to enter Jade Mountain Immortal Capital.]

As for the woman, it was Shuanghua Honggun who spent 70 coins to pay her taxes for today.

At that moment, the woman opposite her looked ashamed, clutching a lowly status certificate like a precious treasure in her hand, and nodded, saying, "I will return the money to you."

Shuanghua Honggun stared at the woman through the campfire, took a deep breath, and held up one finger, saying, "10 times."

"Ugh?"

The woman raised her head.

"In this world, I can lend you Yin-Yang coins, but when you return to the mortal world, you need to pay me ten times the amount of spiritual energy as interest."

The woman blinked and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Shuanghua Honggun nodded.

This woman was none other than Rinna Hoshiyama, an important figure in the Japan Youth Party.

The reason I was in Hokkaido was because I accepted her bounty—to recruit a freelance traveler with a registered name on Chanyin to go to Hokkaido to assist the military in hunting demons.

The reason is simple. The Japanese side is unwilling to be completely taken over by the Special Operations Department and wants to solve some problems themselves through independent agents, thus demonstrating their presence.

Shuanghua Honggun poked at the campfire, frowning as he said, "Now, I do have two ways to make money, but it's not enough for just the two of us."

"Tell me about your ways of making money."

A male voice came from the eaves.

All of a sudden!
Rinna Hoshiyama and the two red-handed men's expressions changed drastically!
someone!

And neither of them noticed!

Their eyes met, and then they vanished in an instant!
boom!
A nunchaku, resembling a dark blue dragon, ripped through the eaves with a deafening roar! It hurtled straight towards the source of the sound!

Meanwhile, Hoshiyama Rinna, whose calf was still covered in a gruesome wound, was now leaping like a leopard, her slender and muscular figure moving swiftly as she drew a katana and slashed straight at Ji Ran!

"Well!"

At that moment, a suit of blood-red armor suddenly appeared on the ring in Ji Ran's hand!
He spun the broken blade in his hand and cleaved it directly at the katana!

when!
The powerful force sent the woman flying! The katana was knocked from her hand!

boom!
At the same time, the figure of Shuanghua Honggun, steaming with heat, stepped onto the roof beam! The fragile ruins collapsed almost entirely!

whoosh-

The katana that had been released from his hand now seemed to come alive, resembling a long snake in the air, stabbing straight at the back of Ji Ran's head!

"Living thing?"

"A mortician?!"

Ji Ran let out a soft exclamation, and the broken blade hummed as it smashed the katana open once more!

boom!
But at this moment, the slender woman had already bent down in front of Ji Ran and slammed down with a powerful punch!
Bang!
Ji Ran raised his hand to parry, the broken blade turned to the side, and the blade directly struck Hoshiyama Rinna's chest, knocking her off the roof!
But the woman's movements were surprisingly agile. Her slender legs hooked around the eaves, and as her skirt fluttered, she tightened her waist and bent over to climb up!

boom!
The woman raised her hand and grasped the flying katana, ready to unleash her power once more!
"and many more!"

At that moment, the voice of the Double Flower Red Stick came.

He reached out to stop Hoshiyama Rinna, staring intently at the blood-scale armor on Ji Ran's body, and said, "You rich dog?"

Ji Ran looked him up and down, noticing his red shirt, familiar tone, and the nunchucks covered in roasted meat, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I think it sounds better to call him 'boss'."
