Fortunately, Black Eyes and Will were unharmed; the only loss was of Polus, which was acceptable for the Hunters.

Esdeath glanced at Ran, her mind racing. The moment Kurome returned, she knew that Kurome had already signed a contract with Mo Li, and that there was a connection between familiars.

Since that's the case, then we can only sacrifice Lan and Seryu, and send them to Moli.

"Seryu, Lan, you two are traveling with the Four Demon Rakshasa, so you must be careful to ensure your safety!"

"Yes, leave it to me. I will make sure that evil person dies a horrible death!"

Seryu's excitement was palpable. She had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long. The deaths of Oka and Dr. Fashion were all inextricably linked to Mo Li.

Will, now in a position to put on a good show, knew that if he didn't, others would easily become suspicious, so he quickly said:

"Captain, what about me? Should I go with Seryu too?"

“You and Kuroko have just returned and your injuries haven’t healed yet, so you’ll stay here for now to protect Patriarch Berlik.”

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being knocked away. If I had been there, Mr. Bolus wouldn't have..."

"No, it's already a stroke of luck that you and Kurohime were able to come back. Will, you're already quite proud of your strength for escaping from that man."

After that battle, Will's acting was phenomenal, and even Lan, who was standing next to him, didn't notice anything amiss.

Kurohime coldly watched Will and Esdeath acting without saying a word. For some reason, ever since returning from the night raid, she had been filled with hostility towards this captain.

Even Kurome herself felt confused. Could it be because the coat Esdeath often carried had Mo Li's scent on it, or because she wasn't the first to become a familiar?

Lan and Seryu, along with the other three Rakshasa demons, rushed into the city.

Esdeath smiled slightly. The three remaining guards exchanged glances, drew their weapons, and aimed them at the unsuspecting Berrick.

At this moment, Mo Li and Chi Tong had already begun to walk out of the city. The six auras were just as they had estimated.

As expected of Esdeath, she has completely figured out Mo Li's thoughts.

Lan Fei was in the sky, his brows furrowed incessantly. He had a feeling that Mo Li had already discovered them, and the sense of crisis in his heart lingered, as if something terrible was about to happen.

After Mo Li 817 pulled Chi Tong out of the city, they headed in the other direction, where there was a forest.

"Wait, Mo Li, that's not where we're supposed to ambush you!"

"I never intended for anyone else to get involved in this matter; I can handle them all by myself!"

"Hey, who knows how many people are coming from the other side? Let's go back, I'm worried..."

“There’s nothing to worry about. If you want to go back, I can open a portal.”

Having said that, Akame understood Mo Li's determination. He had already planned all of this, and the voting was just a way to give Najenda some psychological comfort.

From the very beginning, Mo Li's goal was to wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop; assassinations would just waste too much time.

The two reached the depths of the dense forest. Mo Li stopped, drew his Rebellious Blade, and shouted:

"Since you're all here, stop hiding. Or are you scared?"

As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, four strangely dressed people and Seryu appeared in front of Mo Li.

As for Lan, she flew in mid-air, keeping a close eye on the situation on the field, ready to launch an attack from the air at any time.

Akame also drew Murasame, pointing the sword tip at the five people. Even though she knew that Mo Li alone was strong enough to deal with them, Akame couldn't stand idly by.

"So this is the Demon King of the Revolutionary Army? What? He looks like just a brat!"

"Don't be careless, Thorn. This guy isn't as easy to deal with as he seems!"

"The Four Rakshasa Demons and the Hunters, come at me all at once!"

Chapter 279 The Crimson Eyes' Grudge, The Angel of Annihilation Appears

"Kid, you should feel honored to have the four of us kill you at the same time. You should be proud of that!"

"It's okay, it won't hurt you, it'll be over in a flash."

"Ah~ Ah, Mo Li, it's Mo Li from the Revolutionary Army! I'll ravage you to death!"

"No, it should be said that his soul was liberated!"

The four demons of Rakshasa said this, completely disregarding Mo Li. The four of them had once joined forces to kill five Imperial Arms users, so they were full of confidence.

Thorn, Zhu Tian, ​​Suzuka, and Ma Tou—two men and two women—it seems everyone has arrived.

"Execute justice! Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you..."

Seryu's face contorted in pain. Upon seeing Mo Li, she seemed to lose her mind and pounced on him frantically.

Lan frowned slightly. He had originally planned to let the four demons of Rakshasa make the first move, but now Seryu's sudden advance had caused Lan's plan to go astray, so he had to recalculate.

Mo Li glanced at Chi Tong, who was standing guard behind him, and smiled. Was he being too nervous?

Thorn, one of the Four Rakshasa Demons, saw Red Eyes beside him and his eyes gleamed as he said to her:

"What? Isn't this the traitor Akame? You've really gone to a lot of trouble, coming all the way here just to be killed by me!"

"Thorn? I never expected to meet you here!"

"Oh, you still remember me? I'm so happy. We barely spoke when we were in the assassination squad."

"I originally thought I would only encounter you in the final battle to assassinate the minister, but it seems this battle will be brought forward!"

Akame aimed Murasame at Thorn. She was very clear about the assassination ability of the person in front of her. He could manipulate his body at will, was extremely flexible, and could use his body as a ranged physical attack.

Thorn covered her face and laughed, looking at Murasame with longing, and said in an extremely regretful tone:

"It's such a waste that this Imperial Arms is with you. Let me keep it safe for you!"

"No, Thorn, I'll deal with Akame!"

Suddenly, the horse's head blocked Thorn's path, its hateful eyes fixed on Akame. She had waited for this day for far too long; finally, she could avenge her father.

Akame didn't seem to recognize the girl in front of her. This was understandable, as Matou had grown up eating sea monsters in the deep mountains of the Imperial Fist Temple with Thorn, Linglu, and Zhutian since he was a child, and had hardly ever seen his father.

When he first heard the news of Gozchi's death, Ma Tou didn't feel anything. After all, there was no emotional foundation between the two, and as time went by, their familial bond was even stronger.

But as a daughter, isn't it her duty to avenge her father, especially when that enemy is right in front of her?

Horse Head lunged forward, determined to kill Akame.

Akame was not to be outdone and engaged in battle with the horse's head. If Murasame touched her, she would win the battle.

"You'll be ruined!"

"If you have the ability to do 893 things, then give it a try! 964460"

On the other side, Mo Li dodged Seryu's Righteous Iron Fist, then circled behind her. Just as he was about to cut off her weapon, several feathers suddenly shot down from the sky.

Seeing this, Mo Li had no choice but to abandon his attack on Seryu and dodged the feather's attack with a few leaps.

"Looks like I'll have to deal with you first, you little bug flying around in the sky!"

"As expected of Mo Li, I used my fastest speed to launch a sneak attack, but I didn't expect you to still dodge it."

"You don't think you're the only one who can fly, do you?"

Mo Li's face was gloomy. To everyone's astonishment, Mo Li slowly rose into the air and stood on the same level as Lan without the help of any props or Imperial Arms.

With the help of spiritual power, flying was no problem for Mo Li, but in Lan's eyes, it was simply a fantasy, something that could never happen.

"How could you..."

"There are many things you don't know. You really like ambushes, don't you, Angel of Annihilation!"

Behind Mo Li, several floating cannons appeared, forming the shape of a crown, with their muzzles pointed at Lan.

Lan immediately sensed danger, and the next moment, several beams of light were fired towards her.

Its speed was so fast that Lan had no time to dodge and could only launch feathers to fight back.

However, no matter how hard the feathers are, they are no match for the light, which easily pierced through them and continued to advance towards Lan.

Several beams of light pierced through Lan's black wings. Without the ability to fly, Lan fell from mid-air and crashed to the ground, panting heavily.

Lan knew that if Mo Li had aimed for his heart, he would have definitely died.

Ran felt a pang of guilt as his Imperial Arm was destroyed. It was a token of love from his lover, and he never expected it to be destroyed so easily.

Without his Imperial Arms, he was no different from an ordinary person, which meant he had completely lost his means of attack.

But even so, Lan would not back down. Seryu was still fighting there, and he had to pull himself together.

Just as Lan was about to stand up again, Mo Li came to him and whispered in his ear:

"If you want to know the truth and the real culprit behind the murder of your student, then you'd better stay here and play dead!"

Mo Li's words plunged Lan's heart into despair.

This was the deepest secret hidden in his heart, and he had not told anyone, even among the hunters.

Now that Mo Li claims to know the truth about what happened back then, how could Lan not be shocked?

It should be noted that Lan has never given up on finding the real culprit who killed his students all these years. He once swore an oath to avenge his students.

Lan stared intently into Mo Li's eyes, as if trying to discern something from them, but all he saw was composure and confidence. Mo Li was certain that Lan would not give up this opportunity.

How do I know if you're telling the truth or not?

"You can choose not to believe, but do you dare to gamble? If you die before you kill your enemy, how will you face your students in the afterlife?"

"..."

Lan was speechless and could only lower his head. Silence was the best solution for him; yes, he dared not gamble.

He joined the Hunters to change the state of the empire and avenge his students. Before that, he had to live; he couldn't just die like that.

Seeing that Lan was beginning to waver, Mo Li gently patted his shoulder and said to him:

"Just stay here and play dead. After I kill them, I'll tell you the truth about what happened back then!"

"Could you... spare Seryu's life..."

"What do you think? Anyone who wants to kill me should be prepared to be killed by me!"

Lan closed his eyes in despair. He knew that Seryu was doomed and destined to die at Mo Li's hands.

I'm sorry, it's my fault, Seryu, but I don't regret it.

Lan lay motionless on the ground, but her heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

Mo Li knew that Lan had compromised. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. Now, only Sai Liu and the four Rakshasa demons were left. Who should he kill first?

"Mo Li, die! The fifth of the Ten Kings' Judgments, the Justice Yama Spear, will judge your sins!"

When Seryu saw Lan lying on the ground, his eyes widened. He thought Mo Li had done something to him, and he was immediately enraged. He shouted and rushed forward, attacking Mo Li with a huge diamond drill bit.

A smile appeared on Mo Li's lips. It seemed that someone was eager to come and die.

Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

Mo Li vanished instantly, leaving a large hole in the ground where the diamond drill bit had created. Seryu searched for Mo Li's whereabouts, but he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

Not far away, Ran couldn't help but roar inwardly, "Run! Seryu, you're no match for him!"

Chapter 280 Experience the feeling of despair, Tsukuyomi

Seryu kept observing her surroundings, but having lost her senses, she could no longer detect Mo Li's presence.

Unable to find anyone, Seryu, in a fit of rage, stopped caring about anything else and began attacking the air, causing damage to the surrounding trees, leaving none unscathed.

"Come out, come out, Mo Li!"

"Your mind is already in turmoil; you are destined to lose this battle!"

The voice came from behind Seryu. Seryu grinned and was about to turn around to deliver a fatal blow to Moli when a black shadow flashed by and her tough mechanical left arm was severed.

The diamond drill bit landed heavily on the ground, creating a large crater.

Seryu seemed to feel no pain; having been transformed into a cyborg, she had long since lost all sense of pain.

"The Seventh Judgment of the Ten Kings, Justice! Mount Tai Cannon—!"

Even with only one arm remaining, Seryu can still use the Judgment of the Ten Kings, and an enormous, long-barreled cannon appears on Seryu's right arm.

"Hahahaha, die! Die! Die!"

With a loud "boom," a huge shell was launched from the cannon and headed straight for Mo Li.

No matter how strong one's body is, if hit by this shell, one will be instantly blown to pieces and will surely die.

Mo Li certainly had no intention of testing the strength of the shell with his own body. He leaped into the air and dodged the shell.
