I can bless thousands of magical powers.

A group of people and horses were galloping towards the village entrance, followed by more than a dozen carriages, looking very aggressive.

There were twenty to thirty cavalrymen in this team, wearing uniform clothing and armor, and looking quite tough with swords and bows on their backs. In addition, there were hundreds of plain-clothed infantrymen sitting on the carriages, each holding a spear.

Such a force is more than enough to sweep across the surrounding area!
A black-armored knight rushed over first, pulled the reins in front of the village entrance, and shouted sternly: "Where is the village chief?"

His strength was not weak, and his shout was as loud as thunder, spreading throughout the village in an instant.

Not long after, an old man with gray hair hurried to the village entrance, surrounded by several villagers.

Seeing the black-armored knight, he immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "I am Tong San, the village head. May I ask what you may do for me, sir?"

The black-armored knight glanced down at the other party and said in a deep voice: "I am following the order of the governor to collect food and grass from the countryside to supply the state government. I hope Tong Lizheng will cooperate."

His tone contained both condescending arrogance and aggressive intimidation.

With a strong implication that no disobedience is allowed!

Although Tong San was mentally prepared, he still showed an extremely sad expression when he heard the words of the black-armored knight.

He kowtowed repeatedly and begged, "Sir, we just collected grain last month. We really have no food left in our village. Many people have starved to death. Please have mercy on us, sir!"

The village head knocked his head so hard that his forehead was torn and blood oozed out.

The rest of the villagers followed suit and kowtowed, begging: "Sir, please have mercy!"

"Be bold!"

The black-armored knight didn't buy it at all, and said sinisterly: "Are you trying to disobey orders?"

Without waiting for Tong San and the others to answer, he suddenly drew his sword and said, "My men, search carefully for me. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

"Here!"

The cavalry and infantry who had just arrived responded in unison and jumped off their horses and carriages.

They rushed into the village like hungry jackals and tigers, their faces full of excitement and greed.

The next moment, scolding, cursing, exclamations and screams rang out one after another.

"grown ups…"

Tong San's eyes were about to burst, and he knelt down and approached the black-armored knight: "No, this is not allowed!"

As a result, a long whip suddenly came out of the air and whipped him to the ground.

Torn scraps of cloth flew everywhere, Tong San rolled on the ground screaming, with a bloody whip mark on his body.

"Old thing!"

The black-armored knight smiled grimly and swung the whip in his hand again: "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

"stop!"

At this moment, Mo Huaian rode over on horseback and shouted in a deep voice, "You are a dignified fourth-rank warrior. How can you be called a hero if you bully an old and weak commoner like this?"

The black-armored knight was stunned.

He didn't expect that a young Taoist priest would suddenly appear in this village and scold him righteously.

Whose disciple is this who comes out to gain experience?
The black-armored knight also saw Zhang Yuan following behind Mo Huaian, and his pupils shrank slightly.

He was not an ignorant and reckless man. He knew that when Taoist disciples came out to experience the world, they were often accompanied by a protector.

Those who are qualified to serve as a protector must be at least a fourth-level warrior.

There are fifth and even sixth level ones!
The black-armored knight's mind raced, and he immediately put down the whip he had raised high, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Excuse me, Taoist priest, which mountain gate are you from?"

He wanted to find out Mo Huaian's background.

However, the young wizard didn't buy his tricks at all and shouted angrily, "Tell all your men to stop!"

A cruel government is more ferocious than a tiger!

This was a sentence that Mo Huaian saw in a certain book, but he didn't feel anything at the time.

Now that he had witnessed the atrocities of the provincial government's grain collection team, he had a deep understanding of the meaning and truth of this sentence. Yongzhou had been hit by severe drought for months, and the people were living in dire straits. Countless people were starving and thirsty to death.

Under such circumstances, the state government not only did not take any relief measures, but instead sent people to collect heavy taxes.

How cruel!

These soldiers, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the villagers' homes, smashed and looted everything, turning the village into a living hell in an instant. The scene was horrific.

Although Mo Huaian practiced Taoism, he was still full of passion. At this moment, he was filled with righteous indignation. He felt the anger in his chest boiling, and he couldn't help but make some hand gestures.

The black-armored knight was furious: "Master, I am following orders. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

He thought he had given a lot of face, but was slapped in the face by Mo Huaian on the spot, which made him feel even more angry.

It is not uncommon for Taoist disciples to encounter misfortune and die while traveling!
The black-armored knight was confident in his own strength and did not really take the young Mo Huaian seriously.

Clang!
He drew his sword and stared at Mo Huaian with murderous intent in his eyes.

puff!

The next moment, a blade-like light suddenly broke through the air and instantly swept across the neck of the black-armored knight.

This warrior with fourth-level cultivation didn't have time to let out a scream before a huge head flew into the sky with hot blood!

It was Zhang Yuan who took action.

Zhang Yuan held a knife in his hand and shouted, "Stop it!"

However, most of the soldiers who were looting in the village were unaware of what was happening at the entrance of the village. They were caught up in the extreme excitement and stimulation brought by the violence.

Therefore, few people stopped taking action.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, suddenly jumped up from the horse's back, and flew dozens of steps away like an eagle.

The knife flashed again, and another head flew up.

A ruthless killing has begun!
The wild beasts just now became hunted objects in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers of the grain-collecting team were beheaded one by one.

No one can withstand Zhang Yuan's sword!

He was like a ruthless and sophisticated killing machine, reaping the lives of his targets accurately and quickly.

The efficiency is terrifying!

In just a cup of tea, more than a hundred cavalrymen and infantrymen fell in a pool of blood.

No one slipped through the net.

The surviving villagers, including the village head Tong San, were all stunned.

Many people were even frightened to the point of incontinence.

When Zhang Yuan returned to Mo Huaian's side.

The young wizard looked at Zhang Yuan, who was surrounded by evil spirit, and was speechless for a long time!
If someone said that Zhang Yuan was the devil incarnate, he would definitely believe it.

"let's go."

Zhang Yuan sheathed his sword and said calmly, "Let's go directly to Yong'an City."

Killing people is certainly satisfying, but since the people they killed represent the official power of Daqian, there will definitely be a lot of trouble later.

This is definitely not a place to stay for long.

Zhang Yuan said to Tong San again: "Run as far as you can, and don't come back."

That’s all I have to say. If the other party doesn’t believe me and continues to stay here waiting to die, there is nothing I can do.

Mo Huaian sighed softly, and took a last look at the blood-soaked village with extremely complicated eyes.

Then he followed Zhang Yuan and left without looking back! (End of this chapter)
