Chapter 220

"Finally, I've recovered a little. I didn't expect the people in this village to be so weak.

Even after killing them all, I've only recovered this tiny bit of strength."

Lan Sen said with some dissatisfaction, then glanced at the people in the village struggling in agony.

"How pitiful. This is the price of weakness. Let me grant Itachi release!"

Lan Sen smiled, then flew directly into the air, and immediately, everyone in the entire village died instantly.

Their souls were all extracted by Lan Sen... ===== CHAPTER 467 =====

"Hey, have Itachi heard? There’s been trouble lately at that village in the mountains!"

"What? What kind of trouble could there be? Did wild boars break in again? Or did some blind mountain bandits show up?"

"Neither. They say there’s something unclean in there.

The old and the young inside have all died. They say there are ghosts!"

"What! Ghosts? Would that kind of thing come to our remote mountain village?"

"Who knows? Quite a few Ghost-Slayers have already arrived. I heard they are experts who have killed at least three ghosts each!

They say there are even ninja!"

"Ninja Ghost-Slayers? Is that for real?"

"Of course it's real. Why would I lie to Itachi? If Itachi don't believe me, come with me to that village and see?"

"Let's go, let's go. To hell with work, watching the show is more important!"

As the conversation ended, a group of people ran toward the mountains, where there was a small village almost isolated from the world.

And Lan Sen was in that village.

"Hmm? Someone’s coming? I was just wondering how to recover my strength.

I didn't expect someone to deliver themselves to my doorstep so quickly."

Lan Sen sneered, then looked toward the outside.

Hmm, a group of people, ordinary folks, but they could at least help him recover a bit of stamina.

Especially since there were quite a few strong laborers among these ordinary people; their souls were a great tonic!

So, Lan Sen took out his Zanpakuto and slashed directly at the crowd ahead.

But unfortunately, this group of people didn't realize the severity of the situation at all.

They didn't even see Lan Sen.

They were still looking for the so-called Ghost-Slayers, unaware that those Ghost-Slayers were still walking slowly in the distance.

"I'm telling Itachi, why do we have to come so far to slay ghosts? The entire ninja world is full of ghosts right now."

"What do Itachi know? Not to mention that the ninja world is very dangerous right now, and many powerful ghosts could easily kill Itachi and me.

With our strength, even if we killed a ghost, no one would know.

And no one would be grateful to us or sing our praises.

But it's different here."

The ninja smiled. He had no grand ideals; he just wanted to live a little better.

Since the competition in those big villages was too fierce, he had come directly to this remote little mountain village.

"Heh heh, once we get there, we’ll be the strongest people around. Dealing with a few measly ghosts will be very simple.

By then, they will treat us like gods."

The ninja laughed, and the Ghost-Slayer beside him looked suddenly enlightened.

"I see why Itachi're the boss. Not only is your strength formidable, but your brain is also countless times better than ours!"

"Agreed, agreed. So, Boss, should we go fight the ghosts first or meet the villagers?"

"Nonsense, of course we go to the village first. Otherwise, how will they know we've arrived?

How will they know it was us who killed the ghosts?"

"Boss is right! Let's hurry over!"

A lackey shouted excitedly, but their boss laughed again.

"Hahaha, no need to be so anxious. Let's wait a while longer, let's walk slower.

That way, the impact on them will be greater, and they will be even more grateful to us."

The ninja said with great confidence; this was a tactic he had learned from some unknown master conspirator!

And it worked every time.

"Boss is brilliant!"

On the other side, Lan Sen had only swung his blade once, and those people had basically all fallen to the ground.

Immediately after, all of their souls drifted out...

"What's going on? Am I dead?"

"A gust of wind just came, and it felt like my whole body was about to fly away."

"Me too, it’s like there’s something unclean around."

"Wait, why do Itachi look a bit transparent?"

"Wow, Itachi do too!"

"Hahahaha, become my nourishment!"

Lan Sen looked at the group of ghosts before him and said with a laugh, then opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the ghosts before they could even react.

Instantly, Lan Sen's strength recovered quite a bit more.

Then, Lan Sen discovered the few Ghost-Slayers walking slowly in the distance.

Seeing those Ghost-Slayers, the corners of Lan Sen's mouth curled up slightly.

"Looks like my luck is pretty good. If I kill them, I should be able to recover most of my strength, right?"

He licked his lips, then Lan Sen walked directly toward those few ninja.

"Boss, do Itachi feel a bit cold?"

"Cold? Isn't it normal to be cold in these big mountains?"

"The cold I'm talking about isn't in my body, but in my soul. I keep feeling like we're being watched."

"How is that possible? Wait, what do Itachi mean?

Everyone, draw your Zanpakuto!"

The boss roared and drew his Zanpakuto.

Instantly, he saw Lan Sen before him, and the others also drew their respective Zanpakuto.

Looking at the ghost before them, this group of Ghost-Slayers became excited.

"Boss, looks like we're going to strike it rich! There really is a ghost here!"

"Hahahaha, Boss, kill him, then go find those villagers!"

However, they didn't notice that their boss's face looked a bit wrong! ===== CHAPTER 468 =====

The group of Ghost-Slayers, noticing the boss wasn't speaking, looked over one after another.

"Boss, what's wrong with Itachi? Why..."

"Boss, is there something wrong?"

Lan Sen, who was preparing to play the pig to eat the tiger, was also stunned.

What’s the situation? These guys should logically be excited.

After all, they are Ghost-Slayers; they must want to kill ghosts to become stronger.

He had clearly acted very weak, so why did this guy, who seemed to be the strongest, have such a solemn expression?

Could it be that he saw through his strength?

That won't do. If that's the case, how can he enjoy their despair?

However, just then, the boss of the Ghost-Slayers spoke.

"Damn it! If this ghost appears so quickly, it ruins my plan!

Itachi have to know, we were supposed to show our faces to those villagers first, and then come to slay the ghost!" ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
