"It seems like there are a lot of people getting in the way tonight!"

Looking at the two men who suddenly appeared next to Kuchiki Rukia, Abarai Renji 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.

"Kid, 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 sword 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 achieved if it is taken 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 is not only 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'm going to show you what it means to be truly unreasonable right now! 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 there was another person standing quietly beside him...

It's not that Uryu Ishida didn't think about a sneak attack, but his intuition 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.

Already.

"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 very 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 when you're fighting? 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 Shinigami 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 skills. 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 spoke, 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.
