Chapter 465

"Hey, did you hear? That village in the mountains has been having problems lately!"

"What? What kind of problems? Wild boars breaking in again? Or some ignorant mountain bandits showing up?"

"Neither. They say there's something unclean inside.

All the old people and children inside have died. They say there are ghosts in there!"

"What! Ghosts? Would something like that come to our remote mountain village?"

"Who knows? Many Soul-Slayers have already arrived. I heard they are all powerful figures who have slain at least three ghosts!

They say there are even ninjas!"

"Ninja Soul-Slayers? Is that true or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to 'Er Yi Qi'? If you don't believe me, come with me to that village and see for yourself?"

"Let's go, let's go! What the hell is the point of working? Seeing the show is what matters!"

As the conversation ended, a group ran towards the mountains, where lay a small village almost cut off from the world.

And Lan Sen was in the village.

"Hmm? Someone is coming? I was just wondering how to restore my strength.

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

Lan Sen sneered, then looked outwards.

Hmm, a group of people, ordinary folks, but they could restore a bit of my stamina, more or less.

Especially, there are many strong laborers among these ordinary people; their souls are great nourishment!

So Lan Sen directly drew his Zanpakuto, aimed it at the crowd ahead, and slashed down.

Unfortunately, this group had no idea of the severity of the situation.

They didn't even see Lan Sen.

They were still searching for the so-called Soul-Slayers, unaware that those Soul-Slayers were still strolling leisurely in the distance.

"I'm saying, why did we have to come so far to slay ghosts? There are ghosts everywhere in the Ninja Realm right now."

"You don't know anything. Not to mention the Ninja Realm is extremely dangerous now; many powerful ghosts could easily kill you and me.

Just based on our strength, even if we killed a ghost, no one would know.

No one would thank us or sing our praises.

But it's different here."

That ninja smiled; he had no grand ideals, he just wanted to live a bit better.

Since competition in those big villages was too fierce, he came directly to this remote small mountain village.

"Heh heh, once we get here, we are the strongest people. A few mere ghosts will be very easy for us to deal with.

By then, they will treat us like gods."

That ninja laughed, while the Soul-Slayer beside him looked as if he had suddenly understood everything.

"I see why you are the boss! It turns out the boss is not only incredibly strong but also thousands of times smarter than us!"

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

"Nonsense, of course we go to that village first. Otherwise, how will they know we have arrived?

How will they know we killed the ghosts?"

"The Boss makes sense! Then let's hurry over!"

A subordinate shouted excitedly, but their boss laughed again.

"Hahaha, no need to be so anxious. Wait a little longer, let's walk slower.

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

That ninja said with great confidence; this was a move he had learned from some unknown grand schemer!

And it never failed.

"The Boss is wise!"

On the other side, Lan Sen had merely swung one slash, and those people had basically all fallen to the ground.

Immediately, their souls all floated out...

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

"Just now a gust of wind came, and I felt like my whole body was about to fly away."

"Me too, it felt like something unclean was there."

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

"Wow, you are too!"

"Hahaha, become my nourishment!"

Lan Sen looked at the group of ghosts before him and smiled, then opened his huge mouth; all the ghosts were swallowed by him without even having a chance to react.

Instantly, Lan Sen's strength recovered significantly once more.

Then Lan Sen spotted a few Soul-Slayers slowly approaching in the near distance.

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

"Looks like my luck is quite good. Killing them should restore most of my strength, right?"

Licking his lips, Lan Sen then walked directly towards those few ninjas.

"Boss, do you feel a bit cold?"

"Cold? In these mountains, isn't cold quite normal?"

"The cold I'm talking about isn't physical, but spiritual. I feel like 1.1 we are being targeted."

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

"Everyone, draw your Zanpakuto!"

The boss roared, then drew his Zanpakuto.

Instantly, he saw the blue-forested spirit before him, while the others likewise drew their respective Zanpakuto.

Seeing the ghost before them, this group of Ghost Slayers immediately grew excited.

"Boss, looks like we're about to get rich! There really is a ghost here!"

"Hahaha, Boss, kill it, then go find those villagers!"

However, they failed to notice that their boss's expression was somewhat off!
