Chapter 261: Shangri-La

"Damn it, things have come to this, I have no choice but to fight to the death!" Syura said, gritting his teeth.

Syura quickly pulled a small bottle from his bosom and, without even looking, poured all the pills inside into his mouth. These drugs were special concoctions developed by Dorothea, capable of significantly boosting one's abilities in a short period, but the price was also quite substantial. If he were not currently facing a life-or-death crisis, he would absolutely not have chosen to use such drugs.

After swallowing the drugs, a low growl escaped Syura's throat, and his body began to expand rapidly. In just a few breaths' time, he had swelled from a normal man into a Giant over two meters tall. A low roar erupted from his mouth, and an oppressive aura radiated from Syura's body.

"This appearance seems a bit like that perverted scientist Dr. Stylish we encountered before!" Akame said, looking at Syura's current form.

"Leave this guy to me!" Lingyun said, looking at Syura.

Originally, the last time he encountered him, he had intended to finish him off directly, but Syura had used Shangri-La to escape. Now that he had cracked the Space Transmission of Shangri-La, it was time to send him to Hell.

Ibara gripped the Jiangxue in his hand, staring fixedly at Akame before him, his own powerful aura constantly pressing down on her. Although this girl looked quite ordinary, he understood that as the strongest trump card of Night Raid, her combat power would absolutely exceed his imagination. Perhaps his predictive ability would have a high probability of losing its effect against her.

Facing Ibara, Akame's expression was quite calm; after all, she had encountered many powerful experts—Esdeath was one, Luo Yexi was one, Busujima Saeko was one, Lingqi was also one, not to mention Lingyun, who served as her master and was an even more powerful expert. Akame stood there like a reef; no matter how the aura of Ibara surged like the tide, it could only be smashed to pieces before her.

"Damn it!" Enshin's expression was also very ugly, because standing before him was Susanoo. Although his Vacuum Blade was very formidable, facing a powerful Biological Teigu like Susanoo, its power was significantly weakened; after all, Biological Teigu possessed powerful regenerative abilities, and even if slashed a few times by the Vacuum Blade, it was of no great consequence.

"Roar!" Syura let out a roar, his fist smashing toward Lingyun with a fierce wind.

Lingyun clenched his fist with one hand and met Syura's fist with a punch.

With a "Bang," a shallow pit appeared instantly beneath both their feet. Syura's body swayed, and he retreated several steps, his expression looking rather ugly. Just from the first exchange, he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Lingyun had no intention of wasting any more breath on him now; he was actually more interested in that Teigu of his called Shangri-La. It seemed better to finish him off first and then see what was special about that Teigu!

"Wind Blade!"

Lingyun gave a cold shout, his left hand turning from palm to blade as he swept it toward Syura's direction. A cyan Wind Blade tore through the air, slashing toward Syura.

A sense of warning rose in Syura's heart, and he quickly tilted his body to the side. The Wind Blade swept past him, instantly carving a deep trench into the ground beside him.

"That was close!" Cold sweat broke out on Syura's forehead; if he had been hit by that move, he would definitely have had no chance of survival!

"What are you looking around for?" Lingyun flashed and appeared before him, slamming a heavy punch into his abdomen.

With a "Bang," the force of Lingyun's punch instantly penetrated his body, blasting a crater into the ground behind him. Under Lingyun's heavy blow, Syura's eyes nearly popped out, and a large mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs. If not for the special pills developed by Dorothea that greatly enhanced his body's vitality, Lingyun's strike just now would have been enough to kill him.

"I want you to die!" Syura used the force of Lingyun's blow to retreat a distance, then his body suddenly soared into the air, his legs kicking toward Lingyun like a windmill—this was Syura's most prized technique, the Windmill Kick.

"It is indeed a very fierce tactic, but in front of me, it is still not enough!" Lingyun channeled his movement technique, his figure flickering like a ghost; even though Syura's offensive was extremely fierce, he could never touch Lingyun.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Lingyun's eyes; his figure lunged forward, seizing a flaw in Syura's attack, and he grabbed Syura's thigh, throwing him to the ground. Syura's body slammed heavily into the ground, blasting out a shallow pit.

"Cough!" Suffering another heavy blow, Syura spat out another mouthful of blood, his complexion instantly turning ashen.

"It's over!" Lingyun slammed a heavy punch into his chest, caving it in significantly.

Syura's eyes widened abruptly, and then his body went limp. The force of Lingyun's strike had penetrated directly into his body, crushing his heart into fragments. Even though the efficacy of Dorothea's potion was quite powerful, it was powerless to save him from such an injury.

Lingyun stood up, his right hand grasping at the void, and sucked an object from Syura's bosom into his hand. This object was the Teigu in Syura's possession, the Dimensional Formation Shangri-La.

Lingyun put away Shangri-La and looked toward the others. Akame had already cut down Ibara and was watching Susanoo battle Enshin on the other side. Although Ibara had activated the secret technique of his Jiangxue when facing Akame, he could only drink the cup of bitterness in the end when faced with Akame's overwhelming suppression.

"Die!" Susanoo let out a cold snort, using his own body to take Enshin's three Vacuum Blades head-on, and the weapon in his hand slammed heavily into Enshin.

Enshin let out a miserable scream, his body flying backward. Just as he steadied himself, the figure of Xierde suddenly appeared behind him, the large scissors in her hand flashing with a cold, chilling light.

With a "Click," Enshin's body was cut directly into two pieces.

Enshin's upper body landed heavily on the ground; until his death, he had never imagined that he would actually die in this place.

With this, the three members of Wild Hunt who came to assassinate were all wiped out.

"Master, what is that in your hand?" Akame asked with some curiosity, seeing the Shangri-La in Lingyun's hand.

"This is the Teigu, Shangri-La, that Syura has always used to run away," Lingyun said. "I will keep this Teigu for the time being; there will be a place where it will be needed later!"

Najenda did not think much of it, and since Lingyun and his group had contributed a great deal to the encirclement of Wild Hunt this time, she agreed directly.
