"You and I have no energy left to continue fighting...then let's use the last blow to decide the outcome."

Kuchiki Byakuya said, slowly raising the blade in his hand.

"Okay!" Kurosaki Ichigo smiled and also raised Zangetsu in his hand.

"Senbonzakura Kagegen - Final Scenery White Emperor Sword!"

Accompanied by the chanting of the liberation language, the hanging sword array in the sky was scattered by the wind again, turning into countless fine petals that gathered towards Byakuya Kuchiki, and finally spread out behind him like pure white feathers, as if spreading wings.

.

"Fancy..."

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Kuchiki Byakuya's gorgeous moves: "I'm sorry, I don't have as powerful a move as you. Zangetsu taught me only this move, Getsuga Tensho... Now all I can do is

All the remaining spiritual pressure was poured into the final blow."

As he said that, a smile appeared on Kurosaki Ichigo's face, and he was full of fighting spirit.

It seems that because of the changes brought to him by the appearance of 'Xu Bai' just now, the spiritual pressure gushing from his body changed and became dark, but it was still mixed with the aura of the god of death.

The surging black spiritual power was continuously injected into the Zanpakutō. The surging spiritual power enveloped the entire blade, and the overflowing part shot out along Kurosaki Ichigo's arm, looking like a pitch-black demon.

The wingspan is completely opposite to the pure white wingspan of the opposite Kuchiki Byakuya.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the same place at the same time.

boom--

Accompanied by a bombardment that resounded throughout the Seireitei, two surging spiritual pressures collided on the hill, and the overflowing spiritual energy bloomed in mid-air like wings, like an angel or a demon.

After a long time, the wingspan formed by spiritual power gradually dissipated, and the blade fragments fell away like cherry blossoms.

The two figures passed each other, back to back.

puff--

Blood spattered on Kurosaki Ichigo's shoulder. He thrust the Zanpakutō into the ground suddenly, holding himself up to prevent his body from falling. The dripping blood continued to flow down, looking extremely embarrassed.

The same goes for Kuchiki Byakuya on the other side.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky, letting the blood on his chest continue to overflow.

At this moment, there is no blade in Kuchiki Byakuya's hand. Senbonzakura was shattered by Zangetsu in the previous confrontation. She has already turned into flying flowers and scattered in the sky. She should not be able to recover for a while.

"You win...boy."

As he spoke, Kuchiki Byakuya slowly fell down as if he was relieved.

"I won……?"

Kurosaki Ichigo repeated in disbelief, then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

As his tense nerves gradually relaxed, his strength finally evaporated, and he could no longer support himself and began to fall toward the ground.

"Double Heaven Returns Shield..."

Before Kurosaki Ichigo's body could completely collapse, a ray of light enveloped him.

It's Inoue Orihime's ability.

Kurosaki Ichigo clearly felt that the injuries on his body were recovering rapidly at a perceptible speed, and what surprised him...even the spiritual pressure was slowly recovering.

If Xuan Hao were here, he probably wouldn't be surprised by this.

Because he knows that Inoue Orihime's ability is not actually healing, but a concept of 'rejection' that is closer to the rules. It is a complete 'rejection' of the impact, damage, etc. of things! Such an ability

It no longer belongs to the category that humans can reach, but can only be described as a 'miracle'.

If there are gods in this world, then it is blasphemy against gods; if there are no gods in this world, then it is divine power.

"Thank you...Inoue..."

Ichigo Kurosaki thanked him and slowly closed his eyes to rest. Even if his body could recover, his spirit was still very tired.

"Thanks……"

Another voice also murmured softly.

It's Byakuya Kuchiki.

He once again confirmed his thoughts, Lucia had indeed made a group of very good friends.

There was obviously no reason to treat him, but this girl still helped him recover from his injuries.

Byakuya Kuchiki thanked him very rarely, it was a thank you from the bottom of his heart.

Lucia already had a group of friends worth trusting, so he originally thought that it wouldn't matter if he died like this, but it still didn't work...

Because his intuition told him that this matter was not over that easily.

Although he didn't know what would happen, in order to cope with all possibilities that followed, he couldn't die like this.

Therefore, he is sincerely grateful for Inoue Orihime's treatment.

"It's really helpful..."

············

Click——

The layers of doors opened one after another.

Hitsugaya Toshiro and Matsumoto Rangiku stepped onto the stairs leading to the central room 46.

But when the two of them walked down the stairs to the end, their pupils trembled almost at the same time.

What caught their eyes was a scene that looked like a drawing of hell, and the dripping blood had almost dyed the entire conference room red.

All the sages and judges in the forty-sixth room in the center - died.

The Central Room 46 is composed of forty sages and six judges selected from all over the Soul Society. It is the highest judicial authority in Soul Society. Whether in Soul Society or in this world, the God of Death has committed a crime.

All crimes will be adjudicated here. If the verdict requires the use of force, orders will be issued to the Secret Maneuvers, the Onidos and the Gotei 13 execution departments. Moreover, once the verdict is made, even the captain cannot

Any objections, this is the power of the 46th Central Office.

However, just like this, the department that held the highest power in Soul Society was massacred silently, and no one even noticed it before Hitsugaya Toshiro arrived here.

"What exactly is...what's going on?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro's expression was extremely solemn.

He stepped forward to look at the corpses and reached out to touch the blood.

"The blood has dried... turned black, and is also cracked... He shouldn't have been killed today or yesterday... it must have been earlier!"

He frowned in thought.

What is going on?

Obviously, the ultimatum for Rukia Kuchiki's sentence was issued here just yesterday, so the time doesn't match up at all.

When were these people... killed?

Since the defeat of Abarai and the issuance of special wartime orders, in order to ensure the safety of these people, the Central Underground Chamber has been completely isolated. No one can approach here. Logically speaking, if these people had been killed long ago, they would not have been able to do so.

Maybe he can still issue orders...and when he broke in just now, he had already observed the thirteen-layer defensive door leading here, and there was no sign that it had been breached.

Then there is only one possibility left...

That is, the people here were actually killed before the meeting hall was closed, and every order issued by Room 46 since then has been false!

Although he couldn't figure out what method the murderer used to conceal the truth, only this possibility could explain why every decision made during this period was so abnormal!

Hitsugaya Toshiro's frown deepened.

So the question now is who is the murderer? Who can kill everyone in Room 46 without being noticed by anyone, and can still hide it to this day!? I can’t think of it...

No matter how much he thinks, he can't figure out how to do such a thing alone, unless... there is more than one murderer! Yes, if you want to hide it from everyone, you must have an accomplice. Before killing here

After all the people are there, in order to ensure that no one is aware of it, there must be one person left here at all times to give orders, otherwise the gang will be betrayed all of a sudden.

"You are indeed here...Captain Hitsugaya."

Just when Toshiro Hitsugaya couldn't think of a solution, a voice came from outside the door.

"Kira!?"

Following the familiar voice, Hitsugaya suddenly looked back and saw an expressionless figure at the door looking down at them.

It's Kira Izuru.

"This couldn't be...you did it, right?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro asked uncertainly.

Kira, who was at the door, did not answer, but turned his head and disappeared.

"Damn! Chase! Matsumoto!"

Before he could finish his words, Hitsugaya Toshiro rushed out.

"yes!"
