Celestial Warriors

Chapter 3. Tax collectors scarier than urban management

() The robbers that the old mayor spoke of were not actually robbers, but tax collectors in Moon City.

But to the townspeople living in the barren hills outside Moon City, they are definitely out-and-out robbers.

More ferocious than the most ferocious robbers!

These tax collectors talk nonsense, saying that as much spar as they want to collect, they must collect as much spar as they want, without any leeway.

But these residents have nothing to do, because they can't move to other places, let alone enter Moon City.

If the demands of these tax collectors were not met, they would lose their right to live in this land, and at the same time, lose the protection of Moon City.

"These tax collectors, didn't they just come here last month?" Nie Feng asked.The mayor sighed.

"Who knows what their plan is, alas, this is really trying to kill people." The mayor sighed heavily.

At this time, at the place where the entrance of the town was located, horses were already neighing, and the firelight reflected that place brightly.

Over the years, the old mayor has become more and more convinced of the authenticity of the act of taking in Nie Feng. Although Nie Feng is only 16 years old now, his strength is stronger than that of ordinary middle-aged men. , can hunt more beasts, not only often help the old mayor, but also give some help to some poor families in the town.

Come to think of it, this was done while he was taking care of his sister.

"Nie Feng, it's time for you to think about yourself. Save up enough crystals and go to Moon City to participate in the Moon Sect's outer disciple assessment. If you succeed, your status will change drastically."

"No hurry, just wait a little longer." Nie Feng always smiled and said these words calmly.

Nie Feng and the mayor gradually approached the entrance of the town, his eyes narrowed,

"The number of people who came today seems to be more than last time!"

Nie Feng secretly calculated the number of tax collectors, and there were 26 in total.

"The untouchables of Tianfeng Town! Come out to me!"

A roar full of arrogance reverberated over the village, even the howling cold wind seemed to be afraid of their majesty, and was temporarily suppressed by the roar.

"My lord tax official, the younger one is the mayor of this town. I don't know that my lord came to visit late at night. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

The mayor greeted him with a humble face.

But his smiling face didn't get a friendly response from the other party.

Next to the leader of the other party, a man with a sharp face and monkey cheeks stretched his face extremely long, picked up the horsewhip around his waist, and lashed at the old mayor's head, covering his head and face,

"It's good to know the crime, old man, if you don't reward you a few times, you won't remember it.!"

"Snapped!"

The whip made an ear-splitting sound in the air, and threw it straight at the old mayor's head. When there was no time left, Nie Feng stretched out his hand to protect the old mayor, and turned around to block the man's whip with his back.

boom!

The whip hit Nie Feng's back, making a muffled sound, like hitting a strong buffalo. Nie Feng's clothes were torn, and he felt a burning pain in his back, so he held back and didn't cry out.He also knew this person, it was Liu Neng who often came to collect taxes.

"Damn it! How dare you hide!" Liu Neng flicked his wrist, retracted the whip and raised it high. At this time, he saw Nie Feng, who was protecting the old mayor, turn his head and stare.

This is!

Liu Neng's hand trembled involuntarily. Nie Feng's angry eyes looked like wild beasts in the jungle. Liu Neng's heart suddenly felt cold, and he forgot it for a while, or dared not. Then he pulled down the whip, as if he was afraid of provoking a counterattack from this person.

"Master Liu, we paid our taxes last month. For some reason, we have to come over this time." Nie Feng stared at Liu Neng while talking.

This is a kind of experience he cultivated in hunting. Putting killing intent in his eyes and staring at the other party will form a kind of deterrence. Even the ferocious lone wolf will be more attracted to such eyes. Choose to retreat.

"I paid it last month, so I don't have to pay it this month? You lived here last month, so you don't want to live here next month?" Liu Neng raised his voice and said loudly, with an air of arrogance.

"It's not like that, it's just that it was a one-off sex before! The payment was three months." Nie Feng argued hard.

"That was before!" The leader finally spoke, "Now Moon City is under the jurisdiction of the Zhang family, and I am the new tax official Zhang Wu. I announce that starting this month, the tax will be changed to one month per month. receive."

Saying this, the mayor couldn't help shaking his whole body,

"My God, isn't this three times more than before, so how can we survive!"

"I can't survive, hum, I really can't survive if I'm driven to the wasteland!" Zhang Wu's tone had a playful attitude, "The population is increasing, you can't live, there are people who want to live Here. Just two days ago, all the townspeople in One Star Town were sent to the wasteland by us."

As soon as these words were said, all the townspeople present were stunned.

The wilderness, apart from the biting cold wind, is the place where monsters gather. Any monster is more than ten times more powerful than the strongest beast. Can survive, let alone ordinary people like them.And in the depths of the wasteland, even the strongest in Moon City dare not enter it.

To be sent to the wilderness is a death sentence for ordinary people.

Zhang Wu saw fear in the eyes of the mayor and the townspeople, which was also within his expectation.

"How about it, I'm willing to hand it in now!"

"My lord tax official let us prepare for a few days." Under pressure, the mayor had no choice but to compromise.Nie Feng looked at Zhang Wu, feeling disgusted in his heart, which reminded him of the city management in his previous life, showing off his might, but in fact he was just a legal robber.

"Prepare, does it mean that Mr. Zhang has the same identity as you and runs to you every day?" Liu Neng said loudly, implying that he will not leave today if he can't get the spar.

With no other choice, the townspeople had no choice but to piece together together, you bit by bit, and after a while, they gathered a bunch of crystals, and the mayor handed them to Liu Neng.

When the mayor handed it over, there was still a bit of cherishing on his face, but Liu Neng savagely pulled it over, almost dragging the mayor's unsteady body to the ground. Fortunately, Nie Feng's hand was quick. , hurriedly helped the mayor stabilize, he stared at Zhang Wu nervously, secretly praying in his heart that the matter could be resolved, but his intuition told him that the matter would not be so simple.

"If there is nothing else, we will go back first." The mayor bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment,"

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Zhang Wu's words,

"Not enough crystals."

The old mayor trembled, and looked at Zhang Wu with bitterness on his face, "We really can't make it up, and we have a few more days to spare for the rest, and then I will send it to Moon City in person, my lord will see if it's okay. "

"Then it's free," Zhang Wuyu said in a serious manner, "Since it's not enough, use something to pay for it!"

After saying this, he waved his big hand vigorously!

The people behind him had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Zhang Wu waving his hand, they immediately jumped on their horses and swung their whips, and rushed forward.

"Master Zhang, don't!"

The old mayor wanted to step forward to stop it, but the fast horse in front of him didn't seem to see it at all, and ran directly towards the old mayor.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Nie Feng dragged the old mayor over, and the crazy fast horse roared past the two of them.

"Master Zhang, let's get together again," Nie Feng raised his head and said hastily, "Can you ask everyone to come back first?"

"It's late!" Zhang Wu raised his head and smiled, "Since you dare to bargain with me, you should pay the price once, and you will be good in the future."

Not far away, fierce horseshoes smashed one wooden door after another, and the townspeople screamed in horror. These people laughed wildly, jumped from the horses to the ground, rushed into the house, and smashed things.

Flames, screams, horses, and swaying and chaotic figures intertwined and mixed in the whistling wind and snow, dragging the originally peaceful village into a miserable and tragic hell.

Suddenly, a shrill girlish cry sounded,

"No, grandpa, save me!"

"It's my granddaughter!" The old mayor was shocked and rushed over.

"Your granddaughter," Liu Neng stood there, holding a burning torch in one hand, and clutching a young girl in the other. The smirk on his face was extraordinarily sharp under the light of the fire, and there was a kind of coldness in his tone. Excited, he licked his tongue around his lips, "Are you looking good, or a young girl? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let her experience what it's like to be a woman for free!"

"Don't!" The mayor rushed forward, but was quickly caught by two people.

"You two, stop him for me! Push him to the ground and let him watch carefully, how I treat his granddaughter so tenderly." Liu Neng smiled evilly, "I'm afraid she will return after a while." I don't want to stop!"

The mayor was in tears, his body trembling but powerless.

The two holding down the mayor smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you drink soup, she won't stop after a while, and our brother happens to have a good time too."

"Okay, no problem!" Liu Neng said cheerfully.

"Please, don't do this, she's only 14 years old!" The mayor could only turn his head, and the head was like pounding garlic, bleeding all over the ground.

Seeing that the mayor, who was old enough to be his grandfather, suffered such humiliation, Nie Feng couldn't bear it anymore.

I can't stand it, I can't stand it anymore!

He waved his hand, the long sword in his hand trembled forward, in the blink of an eye, there were two screams, grabbed the two men of the mayor, and let go of the injury.

"Someone actually resisted!"

Liu Neng was startled, and the girl took the opportunity to escape, sobbing and rushing towards the mayor.

"grandfather!"

Zhang Wu stood aside, although he was also surprised by Nie Feng's sharp moves, but he could also see that Nie Feng was only at the top of the Acquired Heaven Realm, and in his opinion, this cultivation level was not enough to look down upon.

"It seems that if you don't kill him today, you won't be able to establish your prestige. Take him down for me and kill him in public!" Zhang Wu roared violently, and his subordinates rushed towards Nie Feng like a lion.The one rushing to the front is Liu Neng holding the Dragon Scale Saber. He is the second most cultivated in the Houtian Realm, one level higher than Nie Feng.

In the Ninth Layer of the Acquired Realm, the first level is strength training, which can make the energy abundant, and the dragon and the tiger are fierce.The second level is nourishing the qi, sinking the qi into the dantian, which greatly surpasses ordinary people in strength and flexibility, and the third level is regulating the breath. Through moves, the strength and breath are connected in series to form a whole.

And when it comes to the ninth level of foundation building, it is to build the body into the most perfect state of consummation, and then break through to reach the innate state.

"Woo!!" The Dragon Scale Knife shone brightly with golden light, and it struck Nie Feng with great force.However, although Nie Feng's cultivation base is lower than the upper level, his moves are extremely wonderful. He moved Liu Neng away with his sword, and his body flashed to the side, and the Dragon Scale Knife immediately cut through the air.

At the same time, he flew up and kicked Liu Neng's right wrist.Liu Neng roared and punched, "bang" punches and kicks, and moved back three meters on the ground before gaining a firm foothold.

I actually lost!

The anger in Liu Neng's heart couldn't be increased. He naturally didn't know that Nie Feng fought wild beasts every day, and he didn't know how much more actual combat experience compared to him.

Although the Eighteen Styles of Tianfeng are the most basic martial arts, when it comes to attainments on it, Nie Feng claims to be the second and never dares to be called the first.

Nie Feng succeeded with one blow, without hesitation, "Huh!!" The sword light continued to cover the sky, pressing down on Liu Neng like an avalanche.

"Dang!" Liu Neng retreated three steps crookedly after being hacked crookedly. He was shocked and shouted quickly, "Brothers, go up together and hack him alive!"

After hearing this, other people also rushed forward. Among these people, the strength is almost all the cultivation base of the first level of Houtian Realm. Seven people wove a dense sword net and covered Nie Feng in it.

Among the townspeople, there were also a few adult men who tried to rebel like Nie Feng, but their strength was not comparable to that of Nie Feng. After a few encounters, they were killed, and only Nie Feng was left. However, it was also a precarious situation. .And Zhang Wu, the boss of the opponent, has not made a move yet.

"God kills a bunch of bastards, if I can't deal with you, I'll let God hack you to death!" Nie Feng thought hopelessly in his heart, thinking that he really wasn't good at doing good deeds.

Tonight, for the sake of the mayor and his granddaughter, he can't help but stand up, can't he escape the fate of death?

He missed the eight years in this world very much, and he also missed his sister Ruoqi very much.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't see my sister for the last time!"

Thinking of this in his heart, Liu Neng's long knife attacked like a poisonous snake, pointing directly at his chest.

With Nie Feng surrounded tightly, this move was already unstoppable.

However, just when the long knife cut through his skirt, the tree-like imprint on his chest suddenly shone brightly, enveloping Nie Feng's whole body in an instant, giving him an extremely warm feeling.

Afterwards, he heard a crisp "Stand!", and everything in front of him came to a stillness.

"At that time, the dragon scale knife was only 0.01 cm away from my throat, but after a stick of incense, the owner of that knife died under my sword." Years later, when Nie Feng recalled this thrilling moment , he always likes to say that.

"It's fixed, it's all fixed!" Nie Feng's face was full of disbelief.

"Of course everything is frozen." In Qingli's voice, a familiar figure appeared in front of Nie Feng.

"It's actually you." Nie Feng's eyes were full of surprise, his face full of disbelief.

"Of course it's me." It turned out that this beautiful girl was Zi Mo, but compared to the delicate and frail one when Nie Feng saw her for the first time, she was a bit more heroic.
