"It looks like there are a lot of people getting in the way tonight!"
Looking at the two men who suddenly appeared next to Kuchiki Rukia, Renji Abarai had a slightly ferocious smile on his face, looking like a villain who came from nowhere.
Don't ask him why he showed such an expression. Although the appearance of these two guys did help a lot, he just didn't like them.
"Little devil, where did you come from?"
Now that a decent-looking guy has arrived, the injured man with glasses can be almost completely ignored in Renji Abarai's eyes.
What made him feel a little confused now was the origin of the guy in front of him who was wearing a Death Tyrant costume and holding an oversized Zanpakutō.
In fact, the size of a Shinigami's Zanpakutō represents the strength of its spiritual pressure. Of course, captain-level Shinigami usually compress the size of their Zanpakutō for ease of movement. After all, they can't really carry a 40-meter-long sword at any time.
The big long knife was killing people everywhere.
"Ah! I understand, you are the human who took away Rukia's power!"
Before Ichigo Kurosaki could respond, Renji Abarai gave the answer himself.
All the Shinigami who go to the human world will be registered, but in his impression, there is no such registered Shinigami in Soul Society, so obviously the identity of this Shinigami who appears out of thin air in the human world is already clear, plus
That powerful spiritual pressure that surpasses that of an ordinary Shinigami can only be obtained by taking it away from Rukia!
"Take it away? Don't be unreasonable, you guy!"
Kurosaki Ichigo heard a vein popping up on his forehead.
His trip was indeed not in vain.
Because no matter how you look at the two gods of death in front of you, they are coming with bad intentions.
It's obviously a reunion with our companions, why are they facing each other with swords?
Kurosaki Ichigo was puzzled, but this was not a question he should be thinking about now.
In short, no matter what happens, he will not retreat.
This was not just for Lucia, but also for himself.
At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo finally understood what Xuanhao meant by 'enlightenment'.
Just as the relationship between humans can be complicated, the same can be said for the Shinigami in Soul Society.
He must be aware before he can intervene in these things. No, having awareness should be a necessary condition for him to move forward.
Because he has already decided that in order to find the whereabouts of his mother's soul, he will go there without hesitation, whether it is Soul Society or other places!
"Unreasonable?"
Renji Abarai had a slightly crazy smile on his face.
That's right, what reason is he talking to this guy!? It's this guy who took away Rukia's power and made her punished! Cut him off first!
"I'll show you now what true unreasonableness means! I'm going to kill you!"
While roaring angrily, Abarai Renji raised his sword and rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo with murderous intent.
"!?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was forced by the opponent's momentum and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
But Abarai Renji's Zanpakutō had already arrived in front of him, and he could only raise the sword to block it.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!!!"
"Dang Dang Dang——"
A series of rapid metal cries resounded in the streets. Renji Abarai drew his sword extremely fast, getting close to Kurosaki Ichigo and slashing wildly, making Uryu Ishida unable to intervene.
The two of them are too close. If he shoots an arrow now, he will also hurt Kurosaki Ichigo.
And the other person who has been standing quietly beside him...
It's not that Uryū Ishida didn't think about a sneak attack, but his instinct told him that it was best not to provoke this god of death who had never made a move.
He knew that he couldn't be of much help in his current situation. If another Shinigami took action, although he didn't know the opponent's strength, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long once the battle started, and after he fell, he would become Kurosaki Ichi.
Protect a one-on-two situation.
No matter how you look at it, the current situation is very unfavorable to them.
Kurosaki Ichigo was completely suppressed just by facing one of these two people. If the other person wanted to take action, he might not be able to hold Kuchiki Rukia tonight.
Ishida Uryu cautiously approached Kuchiki Rukia.
The only way is to find an opportunity to take Rukia Kuchiki away from here, and then let that guy Kurosaki find a way to escape on his own.
But as soon as he took a step closer, his pupils suddenly shrank.
A suffocating spiritual pressure pressed down on him like a collapse of heaven, leaving him completely breathless.
"This...this is..."
Ishida Uryu subconsciously looked at the other Shinigami who was standing quietly by the side and had not made any movement since just now.
This man was like a piece of eternal ice, exuding a desperate chill. The other person didn't even look at him, but he knew that this spiritual pressure definitely came from the other person. Because there was no one else present.
.
"What a scary guy..."
Ishida Uryū's heart suddenly went cold.
Obviously he underestimated the strength of this other god of death. This guy was many times more terrifying than the one who was attacking him now.
From the beginning, they had no chance of winning!
However, on the other side, Kurosaki Ichigo didn't seem to notice this, and was quarreling with Renji Abarai while resisting his attack.
"What's wrong!? You brat! Why don't you fight back!?"
Renji Abarai laughed wildly and slashed, "What's wrong!? Is your big sword just a decoration? Ah? It can only be used to bluff people!?"
"It's so noisy!"
Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth and gradually adapted to his opponent's movements.
"Why do you talk so much during a fight? Be careful of biting your tongue!"
Damn, what a fast move! Is this the real God of Death?
Kurosaki Ichigo felt a little anxious.
He had underestimated the enemy just now.
After all, from their aura and appearance, there is nothing powerful about the two gods of death in front of them.
But the gap in fighting skills was quickly exposed after the fight started. After all, he was just an ordinary high school student who was good at fighting. He had never learned anything like kendo slashing techniques. Facing Abarai
With Renji's dazzling attacks, he could only be forced to keep retreating and being suppressed.
"good chance!"
Finally, Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to have found the flaw in Abarai Renji's retraction of the sword, so he swung the sword with both hands to counterattack.
But this is actually a trap.
He is indeed an outsider! A cruel smile appeared on Renji Abarai's lips.
Looking at the Zanpakutō held high by the silly boy in front of him, in his eyes, there were flaws all over this boy's body!
"puff--"
The next moment, blood splattered from Kurosaki Ichigo's back.
A hideous wound cut diagonally from the shoulder to the back.
Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly fell to his knees as if he had lost all strength.
"So fast……"
Just now he couldn't see clearly what happened.
It seemed that he had caught the opponent's flaw, but the moment he raised the knife, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, there was a heart-breaking pain behind him.
"Humph, boy, Lucia's power is really wasted on you."
Renji Abarai stood behind Ichigo Kurosaki with his Zanpakutō on his shoulder and taunted mercilessly, "Fortunately, everything is over. You will be killed by me, and then I will take Rukia back to the soul."
Realm. But you guys are really stupid..."
As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at the man with glasses who was suffocated by the captain's spiritual pressure.
Fortunately, perhaps it was because the captain recognized Rukia as his nominal sister and approved of his approach. Otherwise, if the captain took action himself, no one here, including Rukia, would be able to survive.
"Rukia left alone so as not to hurt you. If you just stayed at home and hid, maybe it would be fine. After all, our mission is just to bring Lucia back, so why did you come here to die?
?You guys don’t think that a dabbler like you can really win over regular armies like us——"
"Buzz——"
"!?"
The sudden sound of a knife made Renji Abarai take a step back subconsciously.
A drop of blood emerged from the tip of his nose.
He was injured, although only the tip of his nose was scratched by the blade.
But if his intuition hadn't told him to retreat just now, that knife would have split open his head.
What's going on with this guy!? Abarai Renji looked at Kurosaki Ichigo's face and his expression became a little gloomy.
The sword he just struck should be enough to make the opponent lose his ability to fight. Why can this guy swing his sword faster than before?
"I'm sorry... I didn't let you finish your sentence before I started."
Kurosaki Ichigo moved the arm where his shoulder was cut and slowly stood up.
"But you really talk a lot... You don't really think that what you did just now is my full strength, do you?"
"Tsk."
Gently wiping away the blood on the tip of his nose, Renji Abarai smacked his lips, "You brat, you are so ignorant and——"
"Renji, you underestimate the enemy too much..."
A sudden voice from behind made Renji Abarai pause in his words.
He secretly thought that something was wrong. If he continued to drag it on, the captain would get angry.
"Sorry, Captain Kuchiki, I will deal with this guy soon. This kind of guy doesn't need your help at all..."
"No..." Kuchiki Byakuya shook his head slightly, "I want you to stop having such thoughts... Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu... I only remembered when I saw his face, secret maneuver
The troops sent back a video report thirteen hours ago - a super-sized Daxu was destroyed during the battle with them."
"What!? Daxu? It's beyond the standard? Just these two boys?"
Renji Abarai was a little surprised at first, but after seeing the confused expression on Kurosaki Ichigo's face, he started laughing wildly.
"Hahahahahahahaha - I understand, captain! Those guys must have made a mistake!"
He pointed at the two weak and pitiful guys in front of him and laughed, "I'm really impressed. The latest intelligence from the covert mobile unit is too inaccurate. How can these two guys kill the super-sized Daxu? It's just a joke.
!”
"..."
Kuchiki Byakuya was silent.
He looked at Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida in front of him.
Indeed, the combined strength of these two boys is not enough to defeat an ordinary Daxu, let alone kill a super-sized Daxu.
But the facts are there.
Although they don't know what is going on, this is not what they should be concerned about now.
"Let's do it."
"clear."
Renji Abarai responded, knowing that he could not drag it out any longer.
No matter what Lucia thinks, now he can only kill the two unrelated guys in front of him and take them back by force.
"Take a good look before you die, boy."
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and pointed his Zanpakutō at Ichigo Kurosaki, "The true power of a Shinigami cannot be used carelessly like you."
In his opinion, Lucia's power was simply wasted in this kid's body.
Despite its powerful spiritual pressure, the Zanpakutō is useless except for its huge size, and its fighting skills are also full of flaws, which is simply disappointing.
"You probably don't even know the name of your Zanpakutō, right?"
"What?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was slightly startled.
Does the Zanpakuto have a name? Damn it, Rukia didn't tell him!
Just when he was about to ask what this meant, he saw a strange change in the Zanpakutō in the hand of the Death God opposite.
Renji Abarai was seen holding the sword in his right hand, and the palm of his left hand gently stroked it from the handle to the top of the blade. The seemingly ordinary blade suddenly turned into a seven-segment giant blade with serrations.
"Roar, Shebimaru!"
Accompanied by the chanting of Liberation Language, the Zanpakutō in Renji Abarai's hand finally showed its proper posture. It is a double-edged snake belly sword. The folded snake tail pill has six sections and seven sections.
The blade is black from the back to the middle of the blade, and the rest of the blade is silver-white. There are serrations on the top of the blade that look extremely lethal.
Before Kurosaki Ichigo had time to figure out what was going on, he saw the opponent moving again, and he subconsciously raised the Zanpakutō in his hand to resist.
But this time Renji Abarai's attack was no longer as orderly and traceable as before. Under Kurosaki Ichigo's stunned eyes, the opponent's path suddenly changed.
The strange sword suddenly stretched out, and the blade became twisted as if it were alive. It bypassed the Zanpakuto he raised to block and struck him on the back shoulder.
"Go to hell, kid, remember, defeat and kill your person, Renji Abarai!"
As he spoke, Abarai Renji suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the blade that struck Kurosaki Ichigo's shoulder was dragged like a chain saw, and blood spattered everywhere.
Clang——
The seriously injured Kurosaki Ichigo could no longer hold the blade in his hand, and his Zanpakutō fell to the ground.
"Is it clear? Boy."
Abarai Renji stood condescendingly in front of Kurosaki Ichigo and looked down at him, "This is the 'strength' gap between you and me. Goodbye, although there is no personal grudge between you and me, it is just the current situation. Let's solve it.
You, then I have to take Lucia back."
It's over, it's enough.
Rukia Kuchiki looked at the scene in front of her with emotion.
She was very satisfied that someone wanted to save her.
But everything right now cannot be reversed by the strength of Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu.
"Run away, please..."
She quietly approached Ishida Uryu next to her and whispered, "Take Ichigo and run away..."
