Oli Family Annihilated, Igniting [Zangetsu]

'It seems something is hidden here…' Yun Ye mused upon hearing Orleans' words.

After a moment's thought, Yun Ye said coldly, "Only the dead can keep secrets best! So, don't waste my time!"

Despite his words, Yun Ye's expression behind the mask was rather peculiar.

Why did he feel like a major villain?

He was eliminating evil for the people, so why did he have this feeling?

If he wasn't a hero, how could he possibly be a villain?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Is this how your family operates? Not even giving us a shred of hope!"

Orleans' expression turned incredibly ferocious, and he began to laugh maniacally. "Even a cornered beast will show its fangs; even in death, I will tear a piece of flesh from you! Kill them!"

He charged forward first, with his subordinates following closely behind him.

"I also feel it's a bit of a waste of time," Yun Ye said indifferently as he took another step.

Although he hadn't been here long, Yun Ye didn't want to waste any more time.

The principle that delay breeds complications was an age-old truth.

It was better to resolve this quickly.

With these thoughts, Yun Ye raised his sword again and unleashed an unrivaled slash!

The slash tore through the air, cutting dozens of people in half, but Orleans still managed to dodge it.

As Orleans dodged, he aimed his weapon at Yun Ye again and fired, a beam of lightning shooting out.

Seeing this, Yun Ye pointed a finger, and white lightning shot out, colliding with it.

With a 'pop,' the two lightning bolts collided, scattering in all directions.

The white lightning had the upper hand, but its trajectory was also altered, missing its target.

"It seems my white lightning still has the advantage!" Yun Ye stated calmly, his body flashing as he used Flash Step, darting forward like a black lightning bolt into the crowd.

Each swing of his sword took a life.

Blood splattered across the ground in that moment.

"Azure Firefall!" Yun Ye pushed forward with his left hand, and azure flames erupted from his palm, engulfing dozens of people in front of him.

A 'boom' sounded as some were blasted into bloody pulp, while others were sent flying over a hundred meters, falling silent upon impact.

Facing these weaklings, Yun Ye's casual attacks were enough to inflict fatal damage.

This prevented Yun Ye from having a clear understanding of his own strength.

What level of power was he currently at?

Could he handle those with bounties over one hundred million?

The highest bounty among the island's gang leaders was Orleans himself, with a bounty of ten million plus a little extra.

They were no match for him at all.

While bounties didn't always equate to strength, it was certain that the stronger a person was, the higher their bounty would be.

In just over ten seconds, only a few people remained on the field.

Orleans bore a deep gash, breathing heavily, and remained silent, his eyes fixed on Yun Ye.

At this moment, he had overcome his fear and cast aside his apprehension, but the gap in strength was undeniable.

His attacks couldn't inflict even the slightest damage on Yun Ye.

Yun Ye took a step forward, appearing beside Orleans, and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up. He looked into Orleans' eyes and said faintly, "Your gaze displeases me greatly."

"Looking at me like that, do you think I'm some kind of villain in your heart? Or do you think you yourself are innocent?" Yun Ye spoke casually.

From Orleans' perspective, Yun Ye's eyes behind the mask flashed with an eerie red light, and his voice was cold and merciless.

The aura emanating from him was also chillingly terrifying.

This was killing intent, the killing intent generated from killing hundreds of people!

If not a villain, then what else could he be?

Orleans desperately wanted to say this, but his neck was being choked, rendering him unable to utter a word!

After killing the remaining people with a sword strike, Yun Ye continued, "For someone like you, who has committed all sorts of evil on the island and killed countless civilians, the word 'innocent' is nothing short of a colossal joke!"

Orleans' eyes suddenly contracted violently, and he said word by word, "You… are… not… part… of… the… Vinsmoke… family…?"

To allow him to speak, Yun Ye deliberately loosened his grip.

Yun Ye smiled, "Not entirely foolish, but it still won't change your fate!"

"Who… are… you… exactly?" Orleans asked again, word by word, a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

Even at this point, he still wanted to know Yun Ye's identity. If he wasn't from the Vinsmoke family, then why was he annihilating them?

This left him utterly perplexed.

Yun Ye leaned in closer and said, "Just an ordinary person you angered!"

With that, Yun Ye exerted force in his hand, and with a 'snap', he crushed Orleans' neck!

Even in death, Orleans' expression was one of utter confusion. If he could have come back to life, he definitely would have said, "Ordinary person my ass!"

Thus, the Oli Family, wiped out!

The three major underground forces on the island, all annihilated!

It was at this moment that a mechanical voice sounded in Yun Ye's mind again:

[Ding, eliminated the Oli Family, rewarded 50 Achievement Points]

[Ding, successfully eliminated the three major underground forces, rewarded 100 Achievement Points]

[Acquired the 'Thousand Kills' achievement, rewarded 150 Achievement Points]

Yun Ye glanced at his status panel, which showed his Achievement Points had surpassed 400.

'400 points? I wonder which Zanpakuto I can unlock...' Yun Ye thought, seeing his accumulated 400 Achievement Points.

This panel was very user-friendly. When the Achievement Points reached the amount needed to unlock a skill, that skill's icon would flash, as if tempting him to unlock it.

Once unlocked, the icon would disappear from the skill library and move to the 'Owned' interface, making it convenient for Yun Ye to check.

With surging excitement, Yun Ye clicked on the [Slash] branch, expecting to see a brightly lit array of icons. However, reality slapped him hard...

Among the skill icons, only a sparse few were flashing.

Yun Ye was speechless. Did unlocking a Zanpakuto really require so many Achievement Points?

'It seems I can't just squander my Achievement Points. I need to carefully consider which skills to unlock...'

Shaking his head slightly, he cast aside the thoughts in his mind and looked at the flashing skill icons. They were:

[Zangetsu], [Gogyōzu], [Wabisuke], [Tobiume], [Hozukimaru]

Looking at these skills, Yun Ye fell silent.

It wasn't that they were bad, but... how to put it, they didn't have the abilities he wanted.

Kyōka Suigetsu wasn't there, Hyōrinmaru wasn't there, Ryūjin Jakka wasn't there, Senbonzakura wasn't there.

'It seems this system also judges people by their status...'

Yun Ye sighed. When you're poor, your ambitions are limited; you can't even get the abilities you desire.

His gaze moved back and forth between the skills.

Finally, it settled on [Zangetsu]!
