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

Chapter 288 Tax Official Acquaintance
This depression in the ruins is located at the very top of the collapsed garbage mountain. Sunlight pours down relentlessly onto the ground, making even the dark, heavy armor gleam with a golden light.

The warmth emanating from MC faded, and the solidified human form resembled a piece of dark blue metal. At this moment, a baton appeared in his hand, his muscles bulged, and he stared intently at Ji Ran.

The traveler appeared without the traveler's notice!
The kill coordinates indicated: [Level 3 Luan Guest].

Pooh!
The only MC cursed under his breath!
The pressure from the man in front of me was so great that even a normal level 5 wouldn't be able to exert this much pressure, let alone a level 3!
However, the killing field wouldn't misclassify the levels. This man before me must possess some other means to make him so powerful!

"This armor is not something you can just wear casually."

The only MC's magnetic voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery. His right hand was burning hot, melting the baton in his hand.

The baton was made of the same material as the metal he had materialized.

In the boiling temperature, the baton melted, shaped, and stretched, transforming into a sharp longsword.

The veins of the reborn climbed up the blade, gleaming with a blazing, scalding sharpness!
His fighting instincts told him that the man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

However, the huge level difference made the only MC feel that he still had the advantage.

Especially considering the other party is a courtier... just put on this armor like that!
"Hey."

The only MC looked at Ji Ran, who was standing still. Only his chin was visible under the helmet, but the only MC believed that the level 3 Luan Ke in front of him was already unable to move.

Because he wasn't wearing a tax collector's armor, but... a tax collector!

boom!
The only MC stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the powerful force exploded backward, creating ripples that seemed to stir up a wave of metal!
His naked body shone like a dark blue lightning bolt in the sunlight, his dense veins crawling all over his longsword!

Bear!
The entire Mo Dao turned crimson, and the terrifying heat distorted the air!
bass!
The only MC held the knife with both hands, his right hand gripping the handle tightly, and his left hand suddenly pressed against the handle just as he was about to approach Ji Ran, unleashing a deafening burst of power!
The crimson broadsword, like a red dragon, pierced straight towards Ji Ran's chin!

That was the only place the tax officials didn't cover up!
boom!
A loud explosion shook the surrounding ruins!

The remains of the alien beasts and the ruins of steel on the ground were instantly shattered! The powerful impact created wild ripples, scattering in concentric rings!

"you!?"

The only MC pupil earthquake!

The blade of the Mo Dao, carrying its powerful impact, pierced into a thick blade! The black and red blade remained completely still, like a city wall!
At this moment, behind the broad blade, the gilded helmet and sharp jaw were revealed.

"So this is what a tax officer is like?"

boom!
The only MC suddenly crashed!

How could nothing be wrong?!

You know, I almost got caught in the trap back then! Luckily, my materialization combined with Boiling Blood allowed me to melt! At the same time, Boiling Blood could also stop that thing from spreading, which is why I dared to wear it.

But Luan Ke doesn't have that ability!
Bang!

As the only MC's thoughts drifted, a piece of shoulder armor fell off Ji Ran's body!
The shoulder armor embroidered with blood-red black birds had its inner side covered with fine stitches that now seemed to writhe and bounce up like dozens of worms!

Those fine threads of silk had sharp, cold glints at their tips!
Click!

when!
Dang Dang Dang!
Pieces of the tax official's armor fell off, and on each piece, the stitches that were originally sewn on the inside were writhing wildly!
After a moment, the armor pieces realized that there was no flesh and blood around them, so they fell silent again, one by one, and drooped down, disappearing into the gaps in the armor.

“These lines were trying to build a network of nerves and consciousness in my flesh and blood. But as they fell off, those networks withered away.”

Vlad's voice echoed in Ji Ran's ears.

Ji Ran was currently clad in that imposing blood-scale armor. However, numerous tiny holes could be faintly seen on the armor.

That was left behind by the tax collector's armor.

If it weren't for the Bloodscale Armor blocking the way, but instead a person's flesh and blood were to wear it directly... Ji Ran believed that, let alone himself, even a level 6 physique would find a way to be pierced through!

"They...are the main body!"

Ji Ran realized the problem.

In his eyes, the expressionless tax official appeared, and he thought of those emotionless, pupil-less golden pupils with only two black lines around them.

The body is merely a vehicle; the true tax collector... is this armor!

It is alive!
stab-

At that very moment, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from the air!

The crimson broadsword, like a scarlet ribbon, sliced ​​through a crescent moon arc and slashed fiercely toward itself!
Ji Ran raised the Heavenly Demon Curse Blade, but before he could defend himself, a low roar erupted along with the molten iron!

"burst!!!"

The only MC let out a low shout!
The longsword in his hand exploded into a shower of scorching hot iron sparks!

He then took the opportunity to pick up a piece of shoulder armor from the ground and fasten it to his body!
"Prisoner!"

As the armor pierced his flesh, the only MC let out a roar!
Boom!

The prison cart that had been following the tax official suddenly extended two hooks and chains, and rushed towards Ji Ran to kill him!

At the same time, the remaining fragments of the tax collector seemed to sense flesh and blood, immediately spewing out countless dense, thread-like tentacles that resembled black-scaled insects crawling frantically towards the sole MC! Escape!
At that moment, the only MC grinned at Ji Ran and gave a victory sign.

They harvested a corpse worth 5000 yi and recalled the tax official.

Now, all we have to do is slip away.

Once the tax officials are promoted, then we'll deal with these travelers!
Just the next moment!
Bang!
Ji Ran's scarlet figure suddenly shot up! The terrifying speed made the only MC's eyes widen in shock!

Before he could react, the Heavenly Demon Blade had already slammed into the only MC's shoulder!

puff-

The sharp blade and terrifying force severed his arm!

A fierce wind, mixed with a murderous intent as solid as a tangible substance, slammed into his heart!

As the two crossed paths, he saw a flickering crimson in the depths of Ji Ran's eyes!
Instant Step!!
Just as the only MC realized Ji Ran's skill, the man in front of him had already let go, and the Heavenly Demon Blade was stuck in the ground along with the severed arm!
Before Ji Ran could even land in his predatory pose, his left hand had already drawn a frosty-colored horizontal sword from thin air!

"Broken jade!"

This strike almost simultaneously aimed at the neck of the only MC!
The only MC's loss of his left hand and his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) doesn't hinder his combat abilities. After all, in his materialized form, his entire body is made of metal, and he can reshape his entire body into weapons!

He immediately raised his right hand to block!

stab-

However, the special attack effect of the shattered jade on metal, combined with the sharpness of the spiritual tool, directly severed his materialized arm!
"this!?"

Just as the blade was about to sever his neck, the only MC's blood suddenly boiled and exploded!
Pfft!

The Kunwu Blade spun around and sliced ​​across the neck, but failed to sever the head.

Deng Deng Deng!
The only MC suddenly staggered backward, water rippling around his neck before instantly returning to normal. He had used his boiling blood to melt his flesh!
"stop!"

“Tax officer, you have no use for it, I’ll pay for it.”

At this moment, at the severed limb of the only MC, the "tax official" was piled up almost like a small mountain, and the armor fragments were like a mad, bizarre insectoid race, frantically trying to parasitize that severed limb.

Ji Ran looked at him and asked, "What money?"

"All the money in the prison van!"

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "Even if I kill you, it'll still be my money."

The only MC was stunned for a moment, then roared, "You can't kill me!"

"The killing field is far from the time for a decisive battle between strong individuals like us!"

"Don't even think about killing me. If I want to run, I'll melt and seep into the ruins now. How are you going to catch me then?"

"Besides, in my melted state, you can't hurt me in the slightest!"

Ji Ran simply gripped the hilt of the knife lightly and said, "Want to try?"

Faint incense-like particles rose from the blade.

The cursed blade might not actually be able to harm him. After all, he was using his professional talent, not ordinary magic.

But can his primordial spirit... also melt away?

As long as his primordial spirit remains, the Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo can annihilate him!

Just as Ji Ran was about to erupt, he heard a familiar voice—

"It's you?"

A towering, blood-soaked demon landed beside Ji Ran.

Double Flower Red Stick!

The hundred or so tyrants on the ruins have all been slaughtered!
Ji Ran was slightly taken aback and asked, "You know him?"

"Yes, I know him. I know him from the Nightmare Master Tower in Jia Chen District."

At this moment, the Double Flower Red Stick retracted the Devouring Body, and countless bloated flesh and blood crawled into his seven orifices and disappeared.

Beneath the demon's flesh and blood, his own form slowly emerged.

"Cults don't dare to go into that place. There aren't many people in our chaotic profession, so we're all quite familiar with it."

"MC is quite a celebrity in your eighth district."

At this moment, even the only MC was stunned.

"stick?"
