People in Zongman, start killing gods

Lubbock's rebuttal left Leone speechless.

This is indeed a puzzling question.

No one could have imagined why Esdeath suddenly rebelled against the empire. It was simply unbelievable.

"Regardless of the reason, the order from the resistance forces is for us to find an opportunity to kidnap Time Flame," Najeshitan said gravely. "If Esdeath values ​​Time Flame enough, perhaps she can become our trump card to control her."

As for Esdeath's rebellion and trying to win her over to their side, that was something no one dared to even think about, as the rebels couldn't afford that price.

If she was of a lower status, it would be humiliating to her.

If they were to be treated as leaders, some high-ranking figures in the rebel army would be even more unwilling.

Esdeath is a peak that is difficult for them to cross, but they have to face it.

Najeshitan deduced that defeating Esdeath would require 50,000 elite soldiers and at least ten Imperial Artifact users, including Akame. However, in reality, the number required was much greater.

Esdeath's sudden rebellion shocked the rebels.

Perhaps this will lead to a mutual loss of both the Empire and Esdeath.

But Esdeath is not stupid and will not act according to their ideas.

Until they discovered the existence of Time Flame, who was closely related to Esdeath.

Perhaps he is Esdeath's weak spot.

As long as he is held hostage, it will play a certain role, big or small, depending on how much Esdeath values ​​him.

"Then our next task is..." said Myne.

Everyone present had almost guessed it.

"Yes!" Najeshitan nodded, "Find an opportunity to attack that Time Flame boy."

...............

The army rested in a small town between the northern border and the imperial capital.

They faced numerous obstacles from the Imperial Army along the way. Although they were able to break through them with overwhelming force, humans are still humans after all and they will get tired.

The soldiers could not hide the exhaustion on their faces.

It is only right to let them rest.

Before they arrived at the small town, the city lord had already abandoned the city and fled, so it was extremely easy to capture it.

They are not foreigners who burn, kill and plunder, so they will not attack civilians. They are just using this place to rest.

Esdeath was busy handling various military affairs.

Shi Yan was bored, so he went out for a walk alone.

As for bodyguards and the like, does he need them? !

Unfortunately, it seemed like someone treated him as a soft persimmon that could be easily exploited, and it didn't take long for Shi Yan to discover that he was being followed.

5.1 Then he was surrounded.

Facing several familiar yet unfamiliar characters, Shi Yan tilted his head and couldn't help but grin.

By the way, isn’t this a night attack on a group of people?

"This mission... is too easy!"

Leone smiled happily, looking delighted.

They thought that arresting someone under Esdeath's nose was an extremely difficult task. If they were not careful, everyone in the night raid might fall, and they were already prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.

The results of it?

The Time Flame boy didn't even bring a guard with him, let alone accompany Esdeath. After secretly following him, they found that it was not a trap.

How can we miss such a good opportunity?

The Night Raid group immediately surrounded Shi Yan without hesitation.

Chapter 62: Just an Ordinary Tool

"Damn! He's so handsome... No wonder even Esdeath was captivated by him!"

Staring at Shi Yan's handsome face, which far surpassed his own, Lubbock gritted his teeth unwillingly and said indignantly, "If I had this look, I would definitely be able to succeed in chatting up beautiful women on the street."

Leone rolled his eyes at Lubbock.

This useless guy who only knows how to talk nonsense, has dirty thoughts but no courage, will be useless no matter how many chances he is given.

"Haha..." Brand patted Lubbock's shoulder comfortingly.

Lubbock felt as if his shoulders were shattered by Brand. He did not accept his kindness at all and glared at him angrily.

Najeshitan, the leader of Night Raid, stood up and faced Shi Yan. She said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "We are the assassin group 'Night Raid'. We would like to invite you to a place. We hope you can cooperate."

She revealed the name of the assassin group to intimidate Shi Yan. The meaning was obvious: if he didn't cooperate, she didn't need to explain what the assassin group was and what 07 did.

"Yes, yes, yes! You have been surrounded by us and can't escape. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better cooperate with us." Lubbock quickly agreed.

"Ah~! The killer group 'Night Raid'? Sounds scary! But...?"

"Are you sure you'll take me down like this?"

Shi Yan crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

His ink-black eyes swept over the Night Raid group around him. In addition to Najeshitan, Akame, Brand, Hill and Lubbock, there was also the petite twin-tailed Maine in a light pink dress not far away, aiming a gun at him.

Hearing this, Najeshitan's brow furrowed slightly. She also felt something was amiss. It was something that should have been easily accomplished, but it wasn't as simple as she thought.

Shi Yan was so calm and composed!

There was no panic at all about being forcibly surrounded and about to become a prisoner.

The look he gave them not only did not reveal any fear, but rather an expression of great amusement, as if he was watching a group of clowns performing.

"Ha! Who do you think you are?!" Lubbock gritted his teeth. "You just relied on your beauty to get to the top. Don't think you're great just because you're handsome. We won't spoil you like we did Esdeath."

"You're jealous." Shi Yan responded with a smile, "Don't be too sad. It's not your fault that you're ordinary and no beautiful woman likes you, but it's better to face reality. You can live a happy life just by being a good bootlicker."

“Ahhhhh~~~~~~~” The truth is like a sharp knife piercing a wound, which is often the most hurtful. Lubbock let out an extremely shrill whine, staring at Shi Yan with bloodshot eyes, and roared at Shi Yan, “Don’t pull me, I’m going to beat him to death! Beat him to death hard! Beat him to death cruelly!!!”

"Stop it!" Brand held Lubbock tightly, not letting go. "He can't afford to lose anything."

It would be bad if anything happened to Shi Yan and Esdeath was completely enraged.

In response, Shi Yan glanced at Lubbock provocatively.

This made Lubbock's anger rise again, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"Now, you have no way out." Najeshitan said, "Don't pin your hopes on Esdeath. She doesn't know you're being held hostage by us. Even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to come to your rescue in such a short time. All you have to do is surrender..."

It was because Esdeath wasn't nearby that they dared to attack the group so brazenly at night. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to remain calm and composed before Shi Yan, acting as if they had him in their grasp. Furthermore, once they succeeded, they couldn't wait to retreat.

"Why should I need Esdeath to come and save me?" Shi Yan said nonchalantly, "Maybe I'm strong enough that I don't need anyone to save me."

"--Strong?! Are you a royal weapon user?" Leone patted his belt with a smile, "No wonder you're so confident. But I..., we..."

"We are all imperial weapon users!"

As if he had found an opportunity to show off and slap Shi Yan hard in the face to repay Shi Yan's contempt for him, Lubbock was very proud and shouted at Shi Yan with a mocking look on his face.

At this time, everyone in Ye Xi thought that Shi Yan was too calm and confident because he was an imperial weapon user.

Imperial weapons generally give people stronger combat power.

With the imperial weapon in hand, it's not too easy to fight ten people alone. Fighting a hundred people alone is also possible. When you reach Esdeath's level, it's no longer a matter of numbers.

Therefore, the Emperor's weapon Shi Yan did not care about their blockade.

But unfortunately, Shi Yan was wrong. Those who attacked at night were all users of imperial weapons.

He is just an imperial weapon user, how can he be a match for them? He thinks he is Esdeath.

There is only one person in the world as terrifying as Esdeath.

"You are imperial weapon users, but I am not!"

I thought that revealing their identities as Imperial Tool Users would cause Shi Yan to panic and lose his composure, but I was wrong. Shi Yan remained nonchalant, smirking contemptuously, "423, a mere mortal tool, is no match for me!"

Esdeath was also very curious about this. She originally thought that the type of imperial weapon that Shi Yan possessed was similar to her own imperial weapon, 'Magic God Appearance: Devil's Essence', but they were in different elements, one was ice and the other was fire.

But Shi Yan told him clearly that mere ordinary tools could not create him with such great power.

The power of the imperial weapon is limited.

For someone like Esdeath to develop the Imperial Tool 'Magic God Appearance: Devil's Essence' to such an extent is already an extraordinary achievement.

The power of the imperial weapon is different in each person's hands.

It was more that Esdeath was the one who made the Imperial Tool 'Devil God Appears: Devil's Essence' possible, rather than the Imperial Tool 'Devil God Appears: Devil's Essence' making her possible.

When everyone present at Ye Xi heard Shi Yan call the imperial weapon an ordinary weapon, they were stunned.

What Shi Yan said next made them open their eyes wide, with disbelief flashing in their eyes.

"Forget you! Even if all the Imperial Artifact Users were combined, they'd still be at my mercy." Shi Yan raised his head slightly, his lips curling up slightly as he said mockingly to Najeshita and the others, "Also, it wasn't you who surrounded me. It was me, alone, who surrounded all of you."

Chapter 63 You are really brave

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yan raised his foot and stepped on the ground.

The next moment, flames shot up into the sky, billowing like hellfire raging across the earth, madly devouring everything around it and spreading ever further. Every tumble and leap of the fireworks brought with it a wave of scorching air, making it difficult to breathe and almost impossible to catch your breath.

In the blink of an eye, when the night raiders were caught off guard, a world of fire had formed in this area, and they were tightly surrounded inside, even Marin who was not far away was no exception.

Everything happened so suddenly, just as Shi Yan had said. It was him, the one who surrounded the Night Raid group.

Najeshitan and others looked very unhappy.

They seemed to have missed the most important point. They thought that kidnapping Shi Yan would be an easy task without having to face Esdeath, but they forgot to calculate Shi Yan's own combat power.

Let alone whether Shi Yan will attack again, they cannot survive in the world of fire for a long time.

However, faced with such a sudden situation, after a moment of panic, the night raiders made a prompt decision.

Since Shiyan can summon flames of such a scale at will, he can no longer be treated as an ordinary enemy.
