Chapter 220: Omni-user

The night was already deep; Lingyun stood in the courtyard, holding three copper coins in his hand.

"Master, what are you doing?" Luo Yexi looked at Lingyun with some confusion.

"Nothing, just a bad premonition in my heart. I fear this matter this time is not so simple!" Lingyun tossed the copper coins in his hand; the three coins traced a parabola in mid-air before landing back in Lingyun's hand.

Lingyun looked at the copper coins in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed: "You stay here and watch the house, I am going out for a trip!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingyun's figure disappeared from the courtyard.

"Looking at Master's appearance, could it be that something really happened on Akame's side?" Luo Yexi muttered to herself. "Well, never mind, as long as Master has gone over, there will absolutely be no problems there!"

On a deserted platform, Akame was fighting a bitter battle against a tall man. Behind her, Tatsumi had already fallen into a coma due to excessive injuries. However, Akame's fighting style at this moment was somewhat strange; she was constantly in a defensive state, passively enduring Zanku's attacks.

"Aren't you the most powerful assassin in Night Raid? It seems you are nothing more than this now." Zanku laughed crazily.

Akame looked at the person before her, feeling a sense of bitterness in her heart. Although she knew she had fallen for the illusion of the opponent's Teigu, the person appearing before her was the one she least wanted to face.

After receiving another wound on her body, Akame could not help but take a deep breath, a flash of determination crossing her eyes: "I'm sorry, Master, since you are an illusion now, I will not hold back!"

"Finally getting serious? Then I won't be polite either!" A strange smile appeared on Zanku's face, and the sword in his hand actually transformed into three Phantoms in an instant, attacking Akame simultaneously.

"One Sword Three Flowers? Isn't this Master's unique skill?" Akame's pupils shrank violently, her hand trembled, and her movements slowed by a few beats.

"Oh no!"

Akame's movements were a beat slow, and the sword in Zanku's hand had already pierced to her front. Just as Akame thought she would die under this sword, she heard a familiar voice.

"Yo, Akame, long time no see!"

"Master?" Akame widened her eyes, looking at the person standing before her, and the illusion in front of her collapsed with a boom. Before her, a man in white clothes extended two fingers to pinch Zanku's sword, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Master, why did you come?" Akame looked at Lingyun with surprise.

"Because I sensed you might be in trouble here, so I came to take a look!" Lingyun waved one hand, flicking away the blade pinched between his fingers; under this immense force, Zanku could not help but retreat repeatedly before barely managing to stand steady.

"You rest for a moment and treat the wounds on you and that little guy; as for this fellow, leave him to me to deal with!" Lingyun's gaze fell upon Zanku.

A faint layer of gray-white airflow lingered on Zanku's body. Lingyun sighed inwardly that it was indeed as expected; it was precisely because of the power of Moqi supporting him that the power of the Omni-user was greatly enhanced, allowing him to suppress Akame in a short time. But then again, deaths were happening at any time in the Empire's prison, and Zanku had been killing people ever since he left the prison, so it was no wonder Moqi's power would attach itself to him, using his strength to grow itself.

"Then, let me see exactly how much you are worth!" Lingyun kept his left hand behind his back, gesturing for Zanku to come with his right hand.

Seeing Lingyun's movement, Zanku instantly felt all the hairs on his body stand up, as if he were being stared at by a peerless fierce beast. Without the slightest hesitation, Zanku directly activated the ability of the Omni-user.

Lingyun instantly felt an invisible force spreading toward him; he could not help but snort coldly, and Source Power flowed around him, forming a powerful invisible Shield that completely blocked this invisible force.

"Th-this is, this is impossible! Cannot see through, cannot see into, cannot make him fall into an illusion, even the future sight is greatly discounted; who, who exactly is this person?!" A trace of horror appeared on Zanku's face.

Lingyun flashed, appearing instantly before Zanku, his right fist punching toward his abdomen. At this moment, the combat experience Zanku had accumulated over the years finally played a role. At this critical juncture, he crossed his dual swords in front of him, hard-blocking Lingyun's strike.

Merely by blocking Lingyun's strike, Zanku felt the Qi and blood in his body surging. The power of Lingyun's strike had actually penetrated through the dual swords, attacking his body directly.

"Damn it, the only way now is to fight for my life!" A flash of madness crossed Zanku's eyes, and the power of the Underworld King contained within the Omni-user instantly surged into his body.

The power of the Omni-user had been inexplicably restricted in front of this strange man, its might greatly reduced. Moreover, just from that one move earlier, he knew this man's strength far exceeded his own current self; if he did not fight for his life, he would not be leaving here today.

"Uwah!" A painful low roar escaped Zanku's mouth; the muscles on his body expanded in an instant, and his stature grew taller by a few inches.

"Is this the power I possess now? It is truly powerful, delightful, delightful!" Feeling the powerful force surging within his body, Zanku pulled a strange smile onto his face, stomped his right foot on the ground, and instantly turned into a residual shadow, charging toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun casually made a move, and a Long sword appeared in his hand, blocking Zanku's assault. The ground beneath his feet was instantly pressed into a small pit by the immense impact.

"A hidden technique?" Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly.

"That's right, it is a hidden technique, a brand-new hidden technique I developed that allows me to possess the strength of the strongest person manifested in the illusion!" Zanku laughed wildly. "Let me grind you into meat paste completely!"

"This image, could it be General Budo?" Lingyun muttered in his heart, once again fiercely clashing with Zanku. "I suppose it's because he cannot probe my information or can only probe a small part, so he cannot replicate me!"

"Go to hell!" The sword in Zanku's hand instantly turned into a blur, rolling toward Lingyun like a storm.

Lingyun's Long sword turned, and one sword circle after another rippled out from his hand, forming a powerful defensive net in front of him. No matter how powerful Zanku's attacks were, they were firmly blocked by this defensive net, unable to advance an inch.

After attacking fiercely for a while, Zanku discovered he was completely unable to do anything against Lingyun's sword circle defense and had to retreat several steps, stopping his offensive.

"Nothing more than this!" Lingyun dispersed the sword circle in front of him and spoke indifferently.

"Don't look down on people!" Zanku roared, his two arm-swords crossing together, and countless Thunder appeared on the blades. "Let me show you the strength of the Empire's number one, General Budo!"

Looking at the lightning entwined on Zanku's arm-swords, Lingyun spoke indifferently: "Budo is indeed an opponent I look forward to, but you are just a fellow with empty power!"

"Die!" Mocked by Lingyun, Zanku was consumed by rage; the arm-swords in his hands pointed simultaneously toward the sky, and countless lightning bolts roared from the arm-swords into the sky, then transformed into countless Thunder descending from the heavens, directly submerging the area where Lingyun was located.

Looking at the swirling smoke, Zanku let out a wild, arrogant laugh: "Didn't you say I was just a fellow with empty power? Why can't you even take one of my moves now, hahahaha!"

"Truly a fellow with empty power!" A figure walked slowly out of the smoke, and on the Long sword in his hand, a layer of dancing electric sparks lingered.

"Ho-how is this possible!" Looking at the unscathed Lingyun, Zanku could not help but widen his eyes. But his gaze soon fell upon the Long sword in Lingyun's hand. "Th-this, what kind of lightning is this? Why is it purple?"

"This lightning is the lightning to send you on your way; prepare to accept the judgment of the Thunder!" Lingyun aimed the Long sword in his hand at Zanku, and purple lightning instantly spread around Lingyun.
