Looks like something was hidden here... Yun Ye pondered after hearing Orleans's words.
After thinking it over, Yun Ye said coldly, "Only the dead can keep secrets best! So stop wasting my time!"
Though he said that, Yun Ye's expression behind the mask was quite strange.
Why did he feel like some big villain?
He was clearly eliminating evil for the people. Why did he get that feeling?
Forget being a hero—how could he possibly be a villain?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
"Is this how your family does things? You won't even leave us a sliver of hope!"
Orleans's expression turned incomparably savage as he burst into mad laughter. "Even a beast bares its fangs before death! Even if I die, I'll tear a chunk of flesh off you! Kill him!"
He charged out first, with his underlings following closely behind.
"I also think this is getting a little time-consuming." Yun Ye stepped forward again, speaking just as calmly.
Though he had not been here for long, Yun Ye did not want to waste any more time.
Delays could always breed unforeseen complications.
It would be better to finish this quickly.
With those thoughts in mind, Yun Ye raised his sword again and unleashed an unstoppable slash!
The slash tore through the air, cutting dozens of people in half at the waist, though Orleans still managed to evade it.
As Orleans dodged, he raised his weapon and fired at Yun Ye again, sending out a beam of lightning.
Yun Ye pointed a finger, firing White Lightning to meet it.
With a pop, the two bolts of lightning collided and scattered in all directions.
White Lightning had the upper hand, but its trajectory was altered, and it struck nothing.
"Looks like my White Lightning still has the advantage." Yun Ye spoke indifferently, then flashed forward with Flash Step, like a streak of black lightning plunging into the crowd.
Every swing of his sword took another life.
Blood splattered across the ground at that moment.
"Azure Firefall!" Yun Ye thrust out his left hand, and pale explosive flames erupted from his palm, engulfing dozens of people ahead.
With a boom, some were blasted directly into chunks of flesh, while others were sent flying over a hundred meters before hitting the ground without another sound.
Against this worthless rabble, even Yun Ye's casual attacks were enough to deal fatal damage.
This left Yun Ye without a particularly clear understanding of his own strength.
What level was he at now?
Could he handle someone with a bounty of over a hundred million?
The highest bounty among the gang leaders on the island belonged to Orleans before him, and it was only ten million with a little extra.
He was not even capable of withstanding a single exchange.
Though bounties did not represent strength, stronger people certainly had higher bounties.
In barely a dozen seconds, only a handful of people remained.
A deep wound had been left on Orleans's body. He panted heavily without speaking, his eyes fixed firmly on Yun Ye.
At that moment, he had overcome his fear and cast aside his dread, but the gap in strength remained.
His attacks could not harm Yun Ye in the slightest.
Yun Ye took a step forward and arrived beside Orleans. He grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up, staring into his eyes as he said blandly, "I really don't like that look in your eyes."
"Looking at me like that, do you think I'm some kind of villain? Or do you think you're innocent?" Yun Ye said casually.
From Orleans's perspective, Yun Ye's eyes behind the mask glowed with an eerie red light, and his voice was cold and merciless.
The aura surging from him was equally chilling and terrifying.
This was killing intent—the killing intent born from slaughtering hundreds of people!
If this was not a villain, then what was?
Orleans desperately wanted to say that, but with his neck clenched, he could not utter a single word!
After Yun Ye killed the remaining people with one slash, he continued, "For someone like you, who committed every evil on this island and killed who knows how many civilians, the word innocent is nothing but a huge joke!"
Orleans's pupils suddenly constricted as he said, one word at a time, "You... are... not... from... the... Vinsmoke... Family?"
To let him speak, Yun Ye deliberately loosened his grip.
Yun Ye smiled. "You're not completely stupid, but it still won't change your fate!"
"Who... exactly... are... you?" Orleans asked again, word by word, confusion appearing in his eyes.
Even now, he still wanted to know Yun Ye's identity. If Yun Ye was not from the Vinsmoke Family, why had he destroyed them?
He could not understand it at all.
Yun Ye leaned closer and said, "Just an ordinary person you people angered."
With that, Yun Ye tightened his grip. With a crack, he crushed Orleans's neck outright!
Even before his death, Orleans still wore a bewildered expression. If he could come back to life, he would definitely say, "Ordinary person, my ass!"
Thus, the Oli Family was destroyed!
The island's three major underground forces had all been wiped out!
At that moment, a mechanical voice rang out in Yun Ye's mind once more:
Ding, the Oli Family has been destroyed. Reward: 50 Achievement Points Ding, successfully destroyed the three major underground forces. Reward: 100 Achievement Points Obtained the "Thousand-Man Slayer" achievement. Reward: 150 Achievement Points
Yun Ye checked his panel and saw that his Achievement Points had already exceeded 400.
400 points? I wonder which Zanpakuto I can unlock... Yun Ye thought as he looked at the 400 accumulated Achievement Points on his panel.
The panel was quite user-friendly. Whenever his Achievement Points were sufficient to unlock a skill, that skill's icon would flash repeatedly, as if tempting him to unlock it.
Once unlocked, the icon would disappear from the skill library and enter the acquired skills interface, making it easier for Yun Ye to check.
With great excitement, Yun Ye opened the Zanpakuto branch, expecting to see a whole screen of brightly lit icons. Reality, however, slapped him hard across the face...
Only a handful of skill icons were glowing.
Yun Ye was speechless. Did unlocking a Zanpakuto really require so many Achievement Points?
Looks like I can't squander Achievement Points carelessly. I need to carefully consider which skills to unlock...
Shaking his head slightly and tossing those thoughts aside, Yun Ye looked at the flashing skill icons. They were—
Zangetsu, Gogyōzu, Wabisuke, Tobiume, Hozukimaru.
Yun Ye fell silent as he looked at those skills.
It was not that they were bad, but... how should he put it? They did not have the abilities Yun Ye wanted.
No Illusion, no Hyōrinmaru, no Flowing Blade Like Fire, no Senbonzakura.
Looks like this system judges people by their circumstances too...
Yun Ye sighed. When people were poor, their ambitions shrank. He could not even obtain the abilities he wanted.
His gaze moved back and forth among those skills.
In the end, it settled on Zangetsu!
