The man named Beheading Zank was a very strong man. Obviously, he had also set his sights on Chitong and soon appeared in front of him. Although Zank provoked Chitong a few words, Chitong obviously didn't care about it and just rushed forward. Soon, the two sides started fighting.

"That man named Zanke is quite impressive."

Through the sniper scope, Marin also saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, it was clear that Chi Tong's strength was far superior to before. Her every move and every sword thrust almost directly hit the opponent's vital points. If it were someone else, they would probably die if they couldn't take Chi Tong's three swords.

But it was indeed surprising that this man named Zank could easily block Akagi's attack.

"That's because his imperial weapon is powerful."

Fang Zheng gave a direct answer, which was why he made Zanke the first opponent after the Red Eye Divine Art was perfected.

"Zank's imperial weapon 'Five Visions Universal Observer' has five abilities: clairvoyance, farsightedness, perspective, future vision, and hallucination. Clairvoyance can see through people's minds, farsightedness can find targets from a distance, future vision can see the actions of future enemies, hallucination can make enemies hallucinate, and perspective... can see through your clothes."

"Why?!"

Hearing this, Chelsi and Myne's faces changed slightly, but what they were worried about was...

"Wait, so that means that Zanke can see Akame without clothes?"

"This ability is so abnormal, he can even see through people's hearts... I absolutely don't want to fight him."

You are worthy of being women. Can't you pay more attention to other things?

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. This was why he chose this guy as Chi Tong's opponent. First of all, with the two abilities of seeing into people's hearts and future, Zanke should not die in Chi Tong's first thirteen swords, and his hallucinations might even pose a threat to Chi Tong.

It’s a good opportunity to see how well Akagi has mastered the Thirteen Deadly Swords.

At the same time, Zanke was also trying his best to resist Akagi's attack.

Of course, he knew the power of Akahime and the fear of Murasame. Even if he couldn't see through Akahime's inner thoughts, he could still use the future vision of the imperial tool to see through the opponent's next attack. It was also because of this that he was able to block Akahime's attack.

"It's useless, it's useless. No matter how you attack, you can't hurt me. Even you can't do anything. Hahahaha, your head must be very valuable. Then, let me see what your expression will be like when your head is chopped off! Hahahaha!!!"

"The fourteenth sword."

However, Akagi didn't care about what Zanke said at all. She just muttered to herself and then attacked with the sword again.

At the same time, Zanke's laughter stopped abruptly.

He saw the sword and also saw the changes of the sword through future vision. The sword was so understated that it looked like a joke, a casual strike by someone who didn't know swordsmanship.

But this sword - I will die!

This was an instinct, an intuition. The deathly aura mixed in this sword even made Zanke, the executioner, tremble.

but……

"How can I let you succeed?!"

Along with Zanke's roar, the next moment, the imperial weapon on his head suddenly flashed a strange light. Then, in Akame's eyes, the tall figure disappeared in an instant, replaced by a girl with short black hair, wearing a sailor suit like herself, holding a long blade.

“……!?”

Looking at the figure in front of him, Chitong was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Zanke suddenly smiled ferociously, and swung the two daggers in his hands suddenly. With a light "clang" sound, the sharp blade that Chitong stabbed was blocked by Zanke.

"Hehehe, as expected, are you the same?"

Looking at the red eyes in front of him, Zanke showed a ferocious smile again. Although his "vision" ability is only effective on one person, its power is extremely great. Not only that, in the vision, the other party sees the most important person to him/her. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him/her to attack the most important person to him/her!

Go to hell, Akame!!

However, just when Zanke was about to take action while Akame was confused by the illusion, he suddenly felt Akame's Murasame begin to tremble.

"The fifteenth sword."

This was the last sound that Zanke heard through his insight. After that, he could hear nothing and see nothing. It seemed that the abilities of future vision, insight, and imperial equipment had completely disappeared. Zanke even discovered at some point that even his ability to hallucinate had disappeared!

Does this eliminate the power of the Teigu? No, this kills the Teigu!

This is……

“Puff!”

The sharp blade stabbed forward and pierced through Zanke's forehead, along with the imperial weapon that was on his forehead.

At this moment, death comes.

"Yeah, I see. Well done."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng nodded. It seems that compared to Jin Yong and Huang Yi, Gu Long's martial arts are indeed more suitable for this world. Although Gu Long's martial arts rarely have the same gorgeous artistic conception as Huang Yi, it has a very terrifying advantage, that is, Gu Long's martial arts are all rule-based.

Something like "Little Li's Flying Dagger never misses its target" is equivalent to a "must hit" buff, while the fifteenth sword of the Thirteen Deadly Swords used by Chi Tong is an "instant death" buff. This is like a battle in a game, when the effect appears, the fate of the enemy is already determined, and the next thing to do is to let the player complete the process.

A similar statement should be that if the instant death effect has occurred, then the enemy's HP will definitely be reduced to zero in the next round of battle. You can chop at the enemy with a knife, and it doesn't matter where you chop, the HP will definitely be reduced to zero, and the opponent is just waiting to die.

But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that the fifteenth sword of the Thirteen Deadly Swords could actually kill even supernatural powers. If the power of the imperial weapon could kill, then what about magic? And protection? Hmm... This is a very interesting question.

After that, everyone quickly returned to the assassin's headquarters, and Akahime, who had completed her mission, was waiting for them there, but her expression looked a little strange. After seeing Fang Zheng appear, she walked to Fang Zheng, drew out Murasame, and then Akahime reached out her hand nonchalantly and lightly scratched Murasame.

A trace of blood immediately flowed down.

"Wait, Akagi, what are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Mine screamed out in fear. You know, she was very clear about Murasame's curse, that anyone who saw blood would die, so Akame was very careful when taking care of Murasame. But now she actually cut herself on her own initiative. Was she trying to commit suicide? !

However, Chi Tong did not have the reaction that Ma Yin was worried about. She just stood there quietly, watching the blood dripping down the blade. Then she raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng.

"Murasame, dead."

"This is normal. After all, you know the power of the fifteenth sword better than anyone else. Even an imperial weapon cannot withstand such power."

"Really..."

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Chi Tong did not seem disappointed, nor did she seem to care too much. It was as if she had guessed this herself and just wanted to get confirmation from Fang Zheng.

However, after hearing this, Marin became uneasy.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Can Akame's swordsmanship kill even imperial weapons? Is it that scary?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I taught her? After all, with this sword technique, there would be no need for Murasame, right?"

“Oh… that’s right…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Marne was also in mixed feelings. After all, the Imperial Gear had always been regarded as the most powerful weapon of the Northern Empire, and Marne and the others were very excited to have such a weapon. But now, Akagi actually possessed the power to kill even the Imperial Gear - this was much more powerful than the Imperial Gear!

How terrifying is it that the power can even kill with imperial weapons!

"Okay, don't think too much, this is a good thing for you too."

Fang Zheng patted Chi Tong's head.

"Next, prepare to deal with the hunters."

Then he spoke.

At the same time, during the night raid, Nadezhda was also looking at the report from Chelsea brought back by Maine. Compared with Maine and Akahima, Chelsea had more seniority and experience, so the report she brought was obviously more constructive than those of Maine and Akahima. This was why Nadezhda did not force Chelsea to come back.

but……

"Sure enough, there are quite a few problems."

After reading Chelsea's report, Nadezhda's expression became more serious. At first, she thought that the assassins were an organization that rebelled against the empire, similar to their night raiders or the revolutionary army, but now it seems that according to Chelsea's observation, these assassins obviously have their own code of conduct, and they don't care about the opinions of the outside world at all.

Najeta was also very clear about the Anning Dao. Although the Revolutionary Army was not in a cooperative relationship with Anning Dao, they had originally intended to take action while Anning Dao was in religious rebellion. However, now that all the high-ranking officials of Anning Dao had been killed, the so-called religious rebellion had also collapsed. This also made some high-ranking officials in the Revolutionary Army very dissatisfied with those "assassins", believing that they "ignored the overall situation".

However, according to Chelsea's report, Fang Zheng believed that what the Revolutionary Army had done was outright treason. If the Assassin's Order was not the guardian of the Empire, they would have probably gone over and wiped out the Revolutionary Army right now. The mere charge of their ceding territory and colluding with foreign countries was enough to send these high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army to the gallows.

“Speaking of which, this is also a problem…”

Seeing this question, Nadezhda was also very worried. She had not taken the thoughts of the people of the empire to heart before. In Nadezhda's view, the people of the empire were conservative and oppressed. As long as the revolutionary army could successfully overthrow the emperor, then there would be no problem at all. However, Chelsea's report pointed out a problem that Nadezhda had not considered.

That is the self-esteem of the imperial people and their loyalty to the country.

To be honest, after reading the letter, Nadezhda felt that the alliance between the Revolutionary Army and the alien race was a bit too hasty. Even if the Revolutionary Army successfully seized power, this could become a time bomb.

Perhaps it is necessary to talk to the master assassin face to face.

Although they had not met yet, Nadezhda could tell from Chelsea's description that the other party was obviously a very capable person, and Nadezhda also agreed very much with the method Chelsea conveyed about dealing with mixed-race children. If possible, she wanted to meet the other party and communicate face to face.

There's no harm in that, right?
