Chapter 14: Suffering a Sneak Attack

~7 min read 1,340 words

"This"

Yu Changsheng was shocked by the other party's action.

A man has gold under his knees, why do you kneel so naturally, so decisively?

"Adult, everything I said is true, if you don't believe me look at the claw marks on my chest, and look at the bruises on my hands and feet, it's a miracle I'm still alive today!"

Luo Lesheng had a tragic appearance, tears in his eyes, tore open his chest clothes, revealing the blood-soaked bandages inside, and shouted with a trembling voice.

"Please give me two more days, at that time I will definitely pay the rent in full!"

According to the list, the other party owed three Low-grade Spirit Stones, usually doing work hunting Demonic Beasts outside, getting injured was also unavoidable.

But Yu Changsheng gave the other party time, who would give him time?

The Sect had an order, this rent had to be collected in full by tomorrow morning, if any part was lacking, punishment was unavoidable, if someone further falsely accused him of embezzlement, it would be even more finished! Yu Changsheng frowned, just thinking about how to open his mouth.

An Outer Disciple across the street had already collected rent from one household, and happened to see the situation here, smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked over.

"First time collecting rent, let me tell you, you can't be polite to these Cultivators, and don't believe the dog words in their mouths, who knows if he injured himself!"

"Tricks like this, I've seen plenty in Yu Fang City."

That Outer Disciple smiled at Yu Changsheng: "Watch, collecting rent requires momentum!"

"Damn, you dog thing dare to keep living without Spirit Stones, mocking this young master!"

"Give you time! How long have you been given time! Not collecting interest on the three owed Low-grade Spirit Stones is already good, and you dare mention time, playing me!"

Only saw this Outer Disciple kick Luo Lesheng over, and punch and kick him.

"Ah! Adult! Stop hitting! I'm about to die!"

Luo Lesheng screamed miserably in pain, hugged his head and shrank on the ground, completely not like a Cultivator with Qi Refining Fourth Layer Realm, more like a poor commoner.

"Do you have three Low-grade Spirit Stones or not! If not I'll keep hitting! Beating you to death is just right, I'll take your Hundred Treasures Bag and see if you're really crying poverty!"

The Outer Disciple coldly laughed, a slap struck toward the other party's Beast Head.

"I remember! Yes yes yes! Yesterday I just sold a Low-level Demonic Beast Skin, earned some Spirit Stones!" Luo Lesheng hurriedly took out three Low-grade Spirit Stones in pain.

"Renting next year or not? If not, move out now!"

"I'll rent, I'll rent!"

Luo Lesheng wept bitterly, then took out another ten Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The Outer Disciple put away the Spirit Stones, threw them to Yu Changsheng, patted his Shoulder and laughed: "See, this is how rent must be collected, otherwise with your look when will a hundred rooms be collected!"

"Also, facing these cheap goods don't be afraid, we walk outside, wearing this skin, how many blind ones dare give us looks?"

"Alright, I'm going to collect my own rent, work hard!"

Finished speaking, this Outer Disciple left on his own.

Yu Changsheng watched dumbfounded.

This is truly Simple Rough!

He lowered his head and glanced at the Spirit Stones, but efficiency seems also terrifyingly high. List names casually One Slash, Yu Changsheng no longer cared about that miserably screaming Luo Lesheng, walked toward the next target.

"Ah, my Spirit Stones, truly a heaven-killing dog thief!"

Luo Lesheng shouted while wiping away tears from his eyes, climbed up from the ground.

Behind that Sleeve blocking his face, his gaze stared at the departing Yu Changsheng, corner of his mouth revealed a Cold Laugh.

Time passed very fast, in a blink it reached night.

The entire Yu Fang City Wu Guan Qu became lively because of this rent collection cleanup, many Cultivators who paid rent moved out chairs, watched those chased away Cultivators, laughed heartily.

And there were also some Cultivators who because they didn't pay rent, resisted relocation, were dragged out and beaten to death on the street.

In Yu Fang City, Wanxiang Sect is the law, some weak Cultivators fundamentally dare not disobey, just as that Outer Disciple said, it should be others fearing them. Yu Changsheng's pocket Spirit Stones also became more and more, when night third watch arrived, the number reached a shocking one thousand pieces.

That dense Qi made him hate not being able to inhale a few more breaths.

Since transmigrating, when had he ever seen so many Spirit Stones, this is simply testing him, he even wanted to just carry the Spirit Stones and run.

But thinking carefully again, one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, seems to be just ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones used by Golden Core Cultivators, for this bit of Resource betraying the Sect and being hunted, truly unwise, short-sighted.

"Last household collected."

Yu Changsheng weighed the Hundred Treasures Bag that had grown heavier by a few degrees, sighed.

Cultivators on the list all bully the weak and fear the strong, at first he still hadn't grasped the essence of collecting rent, almost got tricked by them, but after two rent collections, he was slightly more forceful in attitude, those people were scared into hurriedly handing over Spirit Stones.

Over a hundred households, only two households of Cultivators truly couldn't afford to continue renting, were driven out and locked doors by him, now wandering the streets, unknown if they can survive tonight.

"Why is this area so Quiet."

Walked a distance, Yu Changsheng Suddenly stopped steps, looked around at houses with lights out, completely not looking like someone was there.

This is only fourth watch, how could Cultivators who just paid rent possibly leave!

This strangeness made Yu Changsheng's heart give birth to great Vigilance.

"Whoosh!"

At the Same Time, a sound of breaking air rang out.

Yu Changsheng did not Turn Head, because that hidden attack came too Suddenly, letting him fundamentally not have time to react.

"Not good!" His Divine Sense had already seen, that was a long nail emitting a gloomy light.

Sixty meters distance, under this magic tool's sneak attack appeared Not Enough, his hand just raised, the long nail was only three meters from his Beast Head!

He realized Wood Shield Technique couldn't make it in time, simultaneously turning and crouching, directly took out a talisman from System Space.

That was precisely the First Rank Amulet he spent fifty Spirit Coins to buy at the gathering!

"Clang!"

Amulet turned to ash, brilliant Golden Light lit up, blocked that long nail's attack.

Good thing this Amulet was placed in his System Space, a thought could take it out, if it were in the Hundred Treasures Bag, he feared he would have already died under that long nail.

But Amulet is Loose Cultivator made, and is First Rank, blocking this magic tool a bit powerless, in just one second Golden Light cracked open a piece.

But this one second gave Yu Zhangsheng the chance to cast a spell.

"Wood Shield Technique!"

The instant-cast Wood Shield Technique unfolded, appearing before his hand.

After the long nail shattered the golden light, it struck the wooden shield just right.

With a "Boom!" a huge sound rang out.

Yu Zhangsheng only felt his arm suddenly ache, his body forced backward and flying out, the force not at all inferior to Chi She Wang!

In midair, he made hand seals to cast the Wind Travel Technique, tapped his toe, borrowed the force, and landed on the roof on the other side, escaping danger successfully.

The long nail, missing twice, turned into a dim light and fell into the hand of a figure.

"Truly unexpected, you actually survived."

Yu Zhangsheng steadied his mind and looked, greatly shaken.

That figure was Luo Lesheng, who knelt on the ground weeping and complaining when he first collected rent!
