Chapter 257 Waiting for this day, waiting too long!
Xuye Palace·Palace No. 9.
Walking along the long rope bridge, Rukia Kuchiki looked extremely alert and looked around constantly.
It went so well!
She could clearly feel that fighting broke out in the passage that others were walking in, but she didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, let alone fighting with anyone along the way.
It was as if the entire area was empty and unobstructed...
Although I don’t know the specific division of Xuye Palace, the palace at the end of the rope bridge is obviously different from other buildings and should be a more important place.
And most importantly...
She could faintly feel Inoue's spiritual pressure in that building.
This made Rukia Kuchiki, who had been traveling smoothly all the way, look even more alert. She could have walked across the rope bridge in one minute, but she had to walk for several minutes before reaching the front of the palace.
The door of the palace was not closed tightly, but left a gap that allowed people to pass through.
Having already arrived here, Kuchiki Rukia did not continue to struggle and entered the towering building directly along the gap.
The building is extremely wide, and the entire first floor is completely connected, but it looks extremely deserted, and what makes Rukia Kuchiki a little strange is... there are many signs of changes on this floor, especially the surrounding windows.
Looking at the window, it was obvious that someone had violently cut it open.
Maybe because I want to look as square as possible, these windows can be said to be large or small.
"Lori, let's forget it?"
At this moment, a burst of conversation suddenly came from the stairs on the second floor, which made Rukia Kuchiki tense up and subconsciously restrain her breath.
"What are you afraid of? That woman isn't here anyway."
Another voice came, with a tone full of disdain: "Lord Aizen has walked out of the room. That woman doesn't dare to do anything to us. Besides, I just want to teach that human a lesson. Lord Aizen just
She was asked to take care of that human being, but she was not asked to protect that human being."
"But……"
"Stop talking nonsense, come and follow me. Just now at Lord Aizen's place, I heard the person reporting that the woman ran to the three-digit area, haha... to save those wastes who were eliminated from the Ten Blades.
Sure enough, trash likes to be with trash."
Human?
Kuchiki Rukia's eyes lit up. Although she had vaguely felt Inoue's spiritual pressure before, it was now confirmed.
It seems that Inoue is indeed being held here.
Thinking of this, Kuchiki Rukia lowered her steps and quietly walked along the stairs towards the second floor.
After arriving on the second floor, Kuchiki Rukia found that the two people who had just spoken were standing in front of a room, confronting a black-haired woman with a mask on half of her face.
The black-haired woman was protecting a person behind her. When she saw the person being protected, Rukia Kuchiki breathed a sigh of relief, because that figure was exactly the person they were sneaking into Hueco Mundo to rescue.
Orihime Inoue!
I didn't expect to find Inoue so easily.
It simply made Rukia wonder if she had fallen into Aizen's mirror without knowing it.
At this moment, the situation in the scene suddenly changed, and the two people confronting the black-haired Arrancar girl suddenly became furious.
"Get away from me, useless doll!!"
Luo Li looked at the calm-looking Luo Jia in front of her. As the spiritual pressure around her body surged, she directly pulled out the dagger-like Zanpakuto from her waist and stabbed Luo Jia's neck. It was obvious that she had murderous intentions.
This scene made the expressions of Inoue Orihime and Luo Li's companion Minori change.
Different from Inoue Orihime's worries about Lorga, Minori was more worried about Tiruti's reaction when she found out that her subordinate officer had been killed when she returned.
If it were before, she would not have such worries, because almost everyone in Xuye Palace knew that Tiruti became the Ten Blades through good luck, and most people thought that she did not have the qualifications to match the Ten Blades.
strength.
but……
Not long ago, Tiruti made her realize that no matter how weak, the Ten Blades were still the Ten Blades, and she and Luo Li had no resistance in front of her.
But looking at the furious Luo Li, she really didn't have the courage to stop him.
Buzz~~
With the sound of breaking through the air, Luo Li's Zanpakutō reached Luojia's neck in an instant.
But the scene that happened next took everyone's breath away.
摪~
When the tip of the knife came into contact with the neck, there was no blood splattering as expected, but instead it made a crisp sound.
Luo Li's pupils shrank and she subconsciously looked at Luo Jia's neck. She struck out with anger and didn't hold back at all. She didn't think that Luo Jia, who had no fighting ability, could block her blow.
However, Luo Jia was next.
And from the beginning to the end, he looked like he had no mood swings.
How on earth did she do it?
Um……
Luo Li suddenly discovered that in the area where her Zanpakutō fell, she could faintly see an extremely thin reflection.
That's...
silk?
Tiny threads were woven around her neck like spider silk, forming a defensive net. It was this defensive net that blocked her Zanpakutō.
At this moment, Luo Li suddenly remembered...
The guy in front of me is an Arrancar that evolved from a spider-type Achiukas.
Although he doesn't have a Zanpakutō, he should still have the ability to transform into a spider before he breaks the surface. Thinking of this, Luo Li suddenly sneered. A drop of venom suddenly emerged from the dagger-like tip of the Zanpakutō, moving downward along the gap in the spider web.
Drip away.
However, the next second her sneer froze on her face.
"How is that possible?"
Looking at it, the gaps between the spider webs are clearly visible, but his venom seems to have fallen on an invisible barrier. Not only does it not go deep along the gaps, but it slowly slides down like drops on the glass.
Kuchiki Rukia, who was watching at the corner, looked at the spider web with something strange in her eyes.
Because the cobweb gave her a familiar feeling, but she was a little unbelievable, because... the feeling that the cobweb gave her was exactly the same as when Daxu took Aizen to Hueco Mundo.
That is not a shield composed of spider webs, but a partial spatial isolation!
"Please leave here."
Luojia didn't fight back, and she didn't know how to fight back. After all, except when she was still a Spider Hollow, she once fought with a "Gariyashiki Kenpachi" Death God, and was caught by one leg and thrown back into the black cavity.
Never fought anyone...
So she didn't know how to attack at all. Even using anti-membrane silk to defend herself was taught to her by Lady Tiruti.
What responded to her was the crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.
摪摪摪……
The dagger in Luo Li's hand kept stabbing out like raindrops, but the shield made of Luojia's anti-membrane silk seemed to have calculated her attack route in advance and blocked every knife with incomparable accuracy.
Although Luojia cannot use her abilities, the anti-membrane silk has the ability to connect with various materials and share spiritual power and information. If used in the real world, it can even be connected to materials in the real world, allowing her to be seen by ordinary people.
Arrive and take photos.
This ability of hers comes from the anti-membrane silk spinning wheel in her body. This is an organ created by her creator, Sal Apollo, by studying the Death God's Zanpakutō named 'Mole Castle Soya'.
.
However, in the eyes of Sal Apollo, she was just a failure, far from the 'perfect creature' in his mind. At first, her master also used this ability to record her own backup files in Luojia's
In the soul and memory.
This is one of Sayel Apollo's research topics on immortality. He uses Luojia's "anti-membrane silk" to preserve his memory in Luojia's body.
To be precise, through Rosja, memories are dispersed and preserved in various materials such as Hueco Mundo's rocks and quartz trees, so that they can be resurrected after encountering unexpected events.
When she learned that the ability given to her by her master was so important, she also felt a little happy, because her existence helped her master.
But after completing this technology, Sal Apollo looked at Luo Jia as if he were looking at the rocks in the Hueco Mundo Desert. When Sal Apollo created the 'conception notification', even without Luo Jia
As a backup, Sayel Apollo can also be reborn at any time, making Luojia lose the value of existence again.
Therefore, Luo Jia never believed that this ability could be of much use.
It wasn't until she was inspired by Lady Neru and guided by Lady Tiruti that she realized that her ability could be used in combat.
Although I don't know how to use it for attack, it can still be used for defense.
"Huhuhu~~"
The sound of gold and iron clashing stopped, Luo Li let out a rapid gasp, and looked at Luo Jia in front of her with red eyes.
The fact that she couldn't break through Luo Jia's defense made Luo Li feel angrier than ever before. Especially Luo Jia's expressionless expression, not fighting back at all and letting herself attack, made her feel that the other party was deliberately humiliating her.
.
"You are looking for death!!"
Luo Li's expression became more distorted, and the spiritual pressure around her became more violent. She had forgotten her original purpose of coming here, and now she just wanted to kill the useless doll in front of her.
"Kill him with poison, a poisonous prostitute with a hundred thorns!"
With a roar, Luo Li's whole body was enveloped in a burst of venom, and the spiritual pressure around her body skyrocketed.
When everything calmed down, Luo Li's appearance had changed drastically. She was like a centipede. Her arms turned into white multi-section weapons. Each section had venomous spines. The venom sprayed from the spines dripped onto the rocky ground.
It made bursts of "sizzling" sounds, dissolving pits on the ground.
This scene made Luo Jia's face waver for the first time.
Her defense was only a small-area defense, and it was difficult to block a large area of venom erosion. Luojia was not afraid of her own death, but was afraid of not being able to complete the task assigned by Lord Tiruti.
Seeing Luo Jia's reaction, Luo Li laughed strangely: "Being able to die by my sword..."
Before she could finish her words, a sickle was chopped down without any warning, causing Luo Li's words to stop abruptly.
Phew~!
Blood spurted out, Luo Li's whole body shot out, and finally hit the wall at the end of the corridor heavily.
Luo Li, who had just returned from the sword with a proud look on her face, now looked extremely miserable.
A huge scar spread from her shoulder to her waist, almost splitting her in two. Blood spurted out of her mouth uncontrollably. She widened her eyes and looked at the man standing where she was standing before.
The figure shouted in a spiteful tone:
"Nnoitra!!"
"In the way!"
Nnoitra casually put the Crescent Scythe on her shoulder, without even looking at Luo Li. Instead, she glanced at Orihime Inoue behind Luojia, licked her chin with her tongue, and said with a strange smile: "That trash is really a complete loser.
What a waste, you actually just leave the person under your custody here..."
After finishing his words, he bent his head and suddenly turned in the direction of the stairs: "Moreover, the God of Death invaded here."
grim Reaper?
As soon as these words came out, both Luojia and Inoue were startled and looked along Nnoitra's gaze.
After being discovered, Kuchiki Rukia did not continue to hide, but walked out directly from the stairs.
"Kuchiki-san!"
Inoue Orihime was happy at first, but then her expression changed.
"Tch, is it actually a woman?"
A look of disdain suddenly appeared on Nnoitra's face: "Thankfully, after I used the finger search method to find out that there was a Shinigami invading the Xuye Palace, I rushed over with full expectations, but it turned out to be such a waste with weak spiritual pressure. I really don't know what you are.
How did you get here?"
Coming...
Kuchiki Rukia replied secretly in her heart.
…
Meanwhile, the three-digit area.
"What is this breath?"
Tiruti frowned and turned to look in the direction of her palace, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"Dorudoni."
"Um?"
Outside the spacious space, Dorudoni, who looked dull, subconsciously responded.
"The battle over Gunten Byrne is over. Just like you, his life was spared by his opponent. Go and bring him back."
Although I didn't go there, the one fighting Guntenbyn should be the only human being besides the Quincy among the few people. He could defeat Guntenbyn. I guess his strength is not weak, so there is no need to worry about him for the time being.
Thinking of this, Tiruti glanced vaguely at the top of her head.
Since arriving here, she has been able to feel a vague sense of peeping, and it is obvious that someone is secretly observing this battle.
However, Tiruti no longer cares what they think.
Because just now...
One of the distress marks Duan Mu left on the two Death Gods was activated, and the location where the mark was activated was surprisingly his own palace.
"Uh~~"
At this moment, a painful moan came into Tiruti's ears.
"Ah, right."
Tiruti lowered her head, and her right hand was currently holding the neck of a man with a sheep-headed skull mask. This man was Ludburn, the captain of the funeral force.
At this time, the mask on his head was cracked, the branches extending from his back were broken and drooping on the ground, and the eyes in the skull were full of shock.
He lost!
Completely defeated.
The branches extending from behind him can continuously create "subordinates" without any restrictions. He is extremely proud of his ability to be called a creator.
But he was defeated by the weakest Ten Blades, and the opponent didn't even make a return attack!
Ludburn actually admires the Ten Blades a lot, and has great respect for almost all the Ten Blades, because in his opinion, everyone in the Ten Blades is a special being. After all, Aizen-sama has given him the ability to be like the creator.
Not qualified to be one of the Ten Blades.
But Tiruti was the exception.
He has always been a spectator of the Ten Blades meeting, and he knows very well how cowardly Tiruti is. He does not possess the majesty that a Ten Blades should have at all. Instead, he allows others to ridicule him, and even fails to respond when insulted by other Ten Blades subordinate officers.
, it is simply a disgrace to the Ten Blades!
But the battle just now made him deeply realize the terror of Tiruti.
Although he has never fought with other Ten Blades, he has seen many Ten Blades fights. Although they are powerful, they do not make him feel as scared as Tiruti.
Luther didn't know why Tiruti wanted to hide herself, nor why Tiruti seemed to have no temper and never taught anyone who offended him.
But the strength she showed...
It is not at all the strength that her sequence should have. Compared with Aaronillo, who used to be of the same sequence, it is simply not worth mentioning!
The defeat at her hands did not make Ludburn feel discouraged or angry, but instead gave him endless respect sincerely. This is the strength that Ten Blades should have.
"...Are you sick?"
Ludburn's extremely respectful gaze made Tiruti twitch the corner of her mouth slightly. Did the mean bone come from him?
Bang~!
Ludburn fell to the ground, staggered up, looked at Tiruti who turned to leave, and said hurriedly: "Lord Tiruti, it was Sal Apollo who asked me to recover No. 103-Dorudoni.
."
"I know."
Tiruti nodded:
"Other than him, no one would do such a boring thing."
Ignoring Ludburn, Tiruti put her toes on the ground and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Ludburn could no longer cause trouble to Dorudoni and the others, and with that respectful look in his eyes, Tiruti was too lazy to kill him again.
The top priority now is to rescue the God of Death who begged for help from Nnoitra.
Thinking of this, Tiruti couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face, which was filled with murderous intent.
