Chapter 226

Fighting like this is the only way it’s interesting!

But everyone has their limits, and soon, the man reached his.

The high-intensity combat was becoming too much for him to bear.

Several times, he could barely keep his grip on the Zanpakuto in his hand.

Clang!

Finally, Shi Yuan slashed out and sent the opponent’s Zanpakuto flying away.

Seeing this, the man’s heart gave a violent jolt; he had lost!

This guy really is powerful.

Without that blade, would he just turn back into that weak, powerless ordinary person?

"Hahahaha! I’m free!"

The Zanpakuto shouted excitedly after flying away, then prepared to leave this place.

As for whether it would be caught by Shi Yuan or not, it didn't care; anything was better than being gripped tightly in that man's hand for a lifetime.

However, to the Zanpakuto's surprise, its flight speed had actually slowed down.

This left the Zanpakuto very confused; it sensed its own strength and immediately felt as if it were constipated.

Its strength had actually weakened by several times!

It felt as if most of its power had been drained away!

"Who! Who stole my power!"

The Zanpakuto shouted in anger, then looked toward the man.

Sure enough, the man was no longer an ordinary person.

Instead, he possessed Kage-level spiritual power!

That’s right, spiritual power, not chakra!

The energy system of spiritual power is superior to chakra; at the same Kage-level volume, spiritual power is definitely stronger than chakra.

After all, spiritual power is a mixture of various forces.

Shi Yuan was stunned for half a second when he saw this, but he quickly reacted.

"It seems Itachi have the ability to make the power of a Zanpakuto your own."

Shi Yuan said, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes for an instant.

It looked like he would have to kill this person in the end after all, otherwise, the Zanpakuto he had painstakingly crafted...

...would end up working for this guy?

How could that be allowed?

However, he could let him live for now, but once the seal was lifted, this guy would have to die.

Shi Yuan thought for a moment and finally decided to spare him for now.

After all, killing him was not as good as turning him into a laborer as well.

"Itachi’re strong. What is your name?"

Shi Yuan asked; he still had some respect for the strong.

The man slowly raised his head.

"Itachi aren't going to kill me? This is something Itachi created~."

"Itachi had better cultivate chakra. This power does not belong to Itachi and will leave Itachi one day-."

Shi Yuan did not answer the other's question, but instead spoke of other matters.

This left the man stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"I understand, thank Itachi for the reminder. My name is Genma Sukusa, just call me Sukusa."

Sukusa said, a guess already forming in his mind.

That was that the man before him wouldn't kill him now, but might take back the Zanpakuto later, at which point this power would leave him.

And only by cultivating chakra could he ensure he would still have this level of strength after losing the Zanpakuto.

Before, no one would teach him, but now, no one would dare not to!

Thinking of this, the corners of Sukusa's mouth curled up slightly.

In reality, that was indeed what Shi Yuan was thinking; since he had decided to let the other party work for him.

Then there was no rush to kill him; he would just find this guy later and take all his spiritual power away.

Saying those words was also to let Sukusa have some mental preparation.

Just then, the Zanpakuto that hadn't run very far came back!

"I’m back! Catch me, Itachi idiot!"

The Zanpakuto said arrogantly, yet Sukusa didn't pay it any mind at all.

With a flash, he dodged, letting the Zanpakuto plunge into the dirt.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Itachi bastard, Itachi actually dared to dodge me! That’s too much! If it weren't for... hey, hey, hey, be gentle!"

The Zanpakuto was still complaining when Sukusa pulled it out and gave it a vigorous shake.

"Yo, why aren't Itachi running anymore?"

Shi Yuan asked teasingly, and the Zanpakuto looked at Shi Yuan with dread.

It knew Shi Yuan's strength very well; if he really wanted to kill them, they wouldn't survive at all.

"Tell me the location of your master, or I won't mind destroying Itachi."

"Impossible! I would never betray my master!"

The Zanpakuto said with great backbone, while Sukusa gripped it tightly and forcefully.

"Tell him!"

Sukusa's voice was ice-cold; at that moment, the Zanpakuto felt as if it had seen its own great-grandmother.

But the next second, the Zanpakuto remained stubborn.

"I won't tell Itachi! Go find him yourselves!"

Just as Sukusa was about to say something more, Shi Yuan shook his head.

He could see that this Zanpakuto likely didn't know where its so-called master was.

It was probably that the master gave it special prompts when he was nearby, right?

"I'm leaving. Itachi won't get anything out of it by asking."

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he left using a Body Flicker Jutsu, while Sukusa looked at the Zanpakuto in his hand.

"One last question: do Itachi not know where that guy is, or do Itachi just not want to tell him?"

Sukusa's words made the Zanpakuto fall silent; at that moment, Sukusa knew the answer.

So this guy didn't even know the location itself.

In that case, what was the point of looking for the master?

Wasn't this just a pure idiot?

"I only remember it was on the sea..."

"The sea? That's really troublesome."

Sukusa said with a headache, but his main goal now was revenge!

Those bastards who bullied him—he wondered if they were prepared.

This time, he would tear them all to pieces no matter what!

On the other side, after Shi Yuan left, he continued searching for the Zanpakuto scattered outside.

But for a long time, he didn't encounter any more Zanpakuto related to the Shadow organization.

After several days passed like this, Sukusa brought the Zanpakuto to the gate of a mountain stronghold.

It was the people in this stronghold who had bullied him!

"I'm back! This time, I'm going to level Itachi all!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Those inside are just a bunch of trash; Itachi don't want me to go cut down that bunch of trash, do Itachi?"

The Zanpakuto immediately became dissatisfied; it could sense that there wasn't a single strong person in the entire stronghold.
