After a few days of leisure and comfort, the entire village faced another disaster.
On this day, the Black Demon Sect sent a messenger to collect taxes. As the overall strength of the village had risen recently, the people who came to collect taxes in the past had suffered a lot, so this time, the messenger had reached the Harmonious Spirit realm.
Erzhuang originally rushed to the entrance of the village in high spirits, preparing to make the Black Demon Sect return in defeat like he had done several times in the past. But before long, he returned with disheveled hair and a dirty face. His entire person was like a frosted eggplant.
Lin Xiu asked for the reason, then without saying a word, he led the people of the village to see the messenger.
Even though he was still a little weak and couldn't use all of his strength, it was more than enough to deal with a Harmonious Spirit expert without any effort.
When he came to the entrance of the village, he found that the messenger of the Black Demon Sect was leading his subordinates and looking down at the entire village arrogantly. Many villagers were seriously injured by them.
Lin Xiu couldn't help but fly into a rage. After these days of contact, he had a good impression of these simple villagers. Now that they had suffered such an unexpected disaster under his eyes, how could he not be angry?
"Why did you hurt people for no reason?" Lin Xiu shouted sternly.
Unexpectedly, when the messenger heard Lin Xiu's words, he chuckled and did not take the young man in front of him seriously.
"Where did this brat come from? How dare you meddle in my business. Believe it or not, I will kill you directly and no one will dare to say a word." The messenger was very arrogant and did not take Lin Xiu seriously at all.
"I will give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you can't pay the taxes in full, everyone will die." The messenger sat on the horse decisively and pointed the long whip in his hand at the crowd.
"Sir, the taxes we have to pay this time are a little too much. Our village doesn't have that much property at all." The village chief cried and said to the messenger carefully.
"Old thing, if you can't hand it over, then die for me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The messenger did not care at all and waved the long whip in his hand at the village chief as he spoke.
If the whip landed on the body, with the old body of the village chief, he was afraid that he would die on the spot.
The villagers were so anxious that their eyes turned red. Er Zhuang even let out a roar from his throat. However, even with their strength, they could only watch as this happened.
Unexpectedly, the bloody scene did not appear in front of them. The messenger's long whip was directly grabbed by a youth, and then it did not move at all.
"To be able to deal with an old man with one foot in the grave, I think you are the ones who are tired of living." Lin Xiu's words were filled with anger. He never thought that the people from the Black Demon Sect in front of him would be so ruthless.
"Since you dare to meddle in other people's business, then you can go and die." The Black Demon Sect emissary pulled the whip back from Lin Xiu's hand, then roared and went straight to him, wanting to kill Lin Xiu directly with his palm.
"Someone like you should just scram and cultivate for a few more years." As soon as Lin Xiu said that, his figure flickered and appeared directly in front of the emissary, kicking him in the butt.
The emissary did not expect Lin Xiu's speed to be so fast. He, who was not on guard, was directly kicked flat on his face.
Climbing up from the ground, the emissary's eyes were gloomy and his heart was filled with unspeakable anger. In front of so many people, he made such a fool of himself. He wished that he could burn Lin Xiu's bones to ashes to resolve this deep hatred.
However, Lin Xiu did not give him a chance. He came in front of the emissary and stepped heavily on the dantian of the Black Demon Sect man, completely destroying his Sea of Qi.
"Ah!"
A long and mournful cry resounded in the field. The guards brought by the emissary all felt a chill in their hearts.
Even the most powerful emissary ended up like this in front of Lin Xiu. If it were them, they would not even be able to live.
"Just you wait, the Black Demon Sect will not let you go."
With the help of the guards, the emissary finally stood up shakily. He was carefully placed on the back of a horse and then he did not forget to say some harsh words to Lin Xiu.
"Counter soldiers with arms and flood with earth. I will take whatever moves you have." Lin Xiu did not care at all. With his strength, the people in the Black Demon Sect that could truly make him worry were nothing more than a few elder-level characters.
In his eyes, the others were just chickens and dogs, completely unable to withstand a single blow.
A group of people came with their heads held high, but they left with their tails between their legs. This undoubtedly made the villagers feel extremely satisfied in their hearts, and they immediately felt elated.
Unlike these villagers, the village chief seemed to be full of doubts. He came in front of Lin Xiu and felt a little guilty.
"Lin Xiu, we have really troubled you this time. I advise you not to care about us anymore and quickly run for your life. We can't afford to provoke the people of the Black Demon Sect."
As he helped the village chief up, Lin Xiu's tone was very confident.
"Grandpa Village Chief, you don't have to be like this. They can just come at me. I will not be afraid of them. Please watch carefully."
Lin Xiu's faint words caused the hearts of all the villagers to tremble and inexplicably gain a little confidence.
Er Zhuang even patted his chest and said loudly to the village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, Big Brother Lin is right. These bastards will come and harass us every month. How can we have so much money to feed them? At worst, we will just die."
Many villagers echoed. Under the oppression of the Black Demon Sect, their days were unspeakably bitter. Sometimes, it was difficult to even guarantee normal food and clothing. They had endured such days long enough.
He would rather engage in a life or death struggle with the Black Demon Sect than live a life of fear and dread like this.
Looking at the determined eyes of the many villagers, the village chief sighed in his heart. Since things had come to this, they could only take one step at a time.
What's more, if Lin Xiu really left, with the strength of the villagers, it would be difficult for them to escape this calamity. Right now, they could only hope that this mysterious young man was really as strong as he said.
"Er Zhuang, you guys with decent strength, come with me." Once the village chief's figure was far away, Lin Xiu called out to Er Zhuang and the others.
These people had all drank the well water before and their bodies had undergone a mutation. Their strength was much stronger than ordinary people.
Lin Xiu thought about it. Even if he could help the village resist the disaster of the Black Demon Sect, it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If they really wanted to live a good life under the rule of the Black Demon Sect, they needed their own strength.
Lin Xiu decided to help the strength of the people in front of him increase by another level!
