Chapter 745: Freedom
What was a genius? A genius was someone who, on the day of their seventeenth birthday, could already stand at the pinnacle of martial prowess in the entire nation.
Ishihara Masami’s petite figure soared a hundred meters into the air. Then, invisible sword qi tore through the void from a single swing of her sword. That strike split the Zoro Group’s headquarters, which stood tall for sixty-seven years, cleanly in half down the center.
Instantly, alarms blared as shouts and screams erupted. The sounds of panic echoed in all directions. Ishihara Masami charged into the building without hesitation, and the sound of battle followed immediately from within.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The crack of gunfire rang out clearly, along with the thunder of explosions. It wasn’t surprising that the Zoro Group, one of the major conglomerates in Jiepeng, possessed firearms but no one expected they had also stockpiled heavy, unconventional weaponry.
Even so, none of it posed any real threat to Ishihara Masami. It only slightly slowed her pace. Moments later, the girl returned to Li Xiaofei’s side, drenched in blood, her blade still in hand.
“Yamamoto Jōichirō isn’t there,” she said. “I asked the people inside. He was the one who sent Yamamoto Tamaki to Rebun Island.”
Li Xiaofei gave a small nod.
Ishihara Masami added, “He’s at Silent Lake on Mount Hakutou.”
Li Xiaofei looked at her.
“I’m going to Silent Lake,” Ishihara Masami declared.
Li Xiaofei placed a hand on her shoulder. His Sword Harnessing Technique surged and they soared into the sky. Just a few breaths later, they arrived above Mount Hakutou.
