Jingraku Shunsui covered his bamboo hat and said with some regret, "We don't seem to like fighting, but I can't let you go like this. Otherwise, can you take a step back?"
"I'm afraid not……"
Sadata Taihu clenched his fists and prepared to fight.
"I think so...then there is no other way..."
Kyōraku Shunsui lowered his figure slightly.
Seeing this, Chadu Taihu's whole body tensed up.
But just when he thought the man was lowering his posture to draw the knife, the man suddenly sat down on the ground.
"Forehead?"
despair.
Kyōraku Shunsui took out a jug of fine wine and two wine bowls from nowhere under the astonished gaze of Sadatō Taihu, and put them in front of him, "Drink! Since you are not willing to quit, how about we have a drink?"
"……ah?"
Chadu Taihu looked confused.
This man is really strange.
"Ah for what?"
Jingraku Shunsui slowly raised the wine bottle and poured wine into the two wine bowls on the ground, "Since you can't retreat, just stay where you are and have a drink with me, just for a short while.
Don’t be so disrespectful~”
"..." Chadu Taihu fell silent.
"The other captains should be dispatched now. This farce will be over soon. Before that, why don't you just take a rest here?" Seeing that Taitora Sadatori didn't speak, Kyoraku Shunsui continued to advise.
.
"Other captains..."
Sadatora repeated Kyōraku Shunsui's words, "If I remember correctly, you have a total of thirteen captains, right? So Ichigo and others should have a high probability of meeting captain-level people, right?"
"
"I have a headache..." Jingraku Shunsui said with helplessness on his face, "Although I really want to tell you that I don't, but... you seem to be right. There is nothing we can do... After all, our mission is to maintain the stability here."
"So I really can't sit down and drink with you. Mr. Jingraku, please get out of the way."
Saying that, Chadu Taihu stepped forward step by step.
"call--"
The petals scattered on the ground moved automatically without wind.
Powerful spiritual pressure surges from the Kyōraku Spring Water in the direction of Chawata Taihu.
Kyōraku Shunsui lowered his head and drank wine, while he released his spiritual pressure like a raging sea wave to try to stop the young man in front of him, but unfortunately he seemed to have failed.
He raised his head and looked at the young man coming straight with a helpless look.
"It seems that there is no simple solution to the problem..."
······
Dang——Dang——Dang————
The sound of violent metal collisions continued to be heard from the space lined with stone pillars.
"What's wrong!?"
Zaraki Kenpachi questioned expressionlessly while waving the scarred and almost edgeless Zanpakuto in his hand.
The tall figure stepped forward step by step, and the shadow enveloped Kurosaki Ichigo.
Ichigo Kurosaki gritted his teeth and raised Zangetsu to keep blocking, retreating like a small animal about to be swallowed by a giant beast.
Each sword was so heavy that he could hardly resist it, and it seemed that the monster in front of him was slashing at random.
Just like this, he was forced to keep retreating and dodging.
clang--
Another knife fell.
The vibration was transmitted from the blade to the arm, making Ichigo Kurosaki feel his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
He jumped back suddenly to distance himself, turned around and used the terrain environment here to avoid it.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
"I can do it! I can definitely hurt him!"
As he walked through the area lined with huge white stone pillars, Kurosaki Ichigo kept alerting himself.
But even he himself failed to realize that the idea of being able to defeat this man had never arisen in his heart, and his only extravagant wish was to hurt the other person.
"Click——"
"boom--"
The stone pillars on the side suddenly bulged, followed by a violent roar.
The monster-like figure emerged again among the rubble and smoke.
The expression on Zaraki Kenpachi's face remained unchanged.
No matter how Kurosaki Ichigo flees here, it is impossible to take out his perception range. He only needs to find the right direction and come straight. Nothing can stop him from fighting with this kid.
It's just that this kind of fighting seems a bit boring to him, so boring that he wants to end it quickly.
"Don't you know how to do anything but run away?"
Standing in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, Zaraki Kenpachi asked calmly, "I don't want to chase a waste like you around, is it better to just stand there and let me deal with it?"
"ah!!!"
Qiang——
The sound of iron scraping sounded.
As if to cover up his fear with a roar, Kurosaki Ichigo roared and swung his sword at Zaraki Kenpachi again, but it still had no effect.
After discovering that the attack was ineffective, his face was full of reluctance, but he still chose the wisest method and disappeared as quickly as possible.
"..."
Zaraki Kenpachi stood silently.
He looked at the dilapidated Zanpakutō in his hand, and his face gradually curved.
Become stronger.
The strength has become stronger.
Just like Ikkaku told him, this yellow-haired boy seems to be really able to keep getting stronger in battle.
"Ugh... Xiaojian, he seems to have become happy?"
From a high place, Kusuka Yaqianliu looked down at the entire area with some confusion.
In her opinion, this is like a boring cat-and-mouse game that is not worth being happy about.
The young man named Ichigo Kurosaki ran away in panic under the pursuit of Xiao Jian, and even looked a little pitiful.
So...is there anything about this boy that would make Xiaojian happy?
Maybe she hasn't been able to experience it personally, at least so far she can't see anything special.
"Well~ as long as Xiaojian is happy."
Saying that, Kusuka Yachiru stood up with a smile, turned around and headed towards the direction where Kurosaki Ichigo came from.
Because she felt like someone was coming.
How could anyone disturb Xiaojian when he was having so much fun?
No matter who it is, it won't work.
······
"well……"
A helpless sigh sounded.
Jingraku Shunsui gently put down the wine bowl in his hand and looked at the young man who walked by him as if nothing had happened.
This boy was more difficult to deal with than he thought, in every sense of the word.
He slowly stood up and pulled out the two Zanpakutō from his waist, turned his head and looked at the young man's back, "I thought you would attack me directly... I didn't expect you to just walk over like that... It's too much
Don’t you want to give me face?”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jingraku, I don't have time to be here with you now."
Chadu Taihu didn't look back, he just answered calmly.
His goal is very clear, it is just to move forward.
Now that we know that other companions may have encountered captain-level figures, the most important thing is to rush over to help.
As for fighting or even defeating the man in front of him... it would be a waste of time.
At this moment, there are collisions of spiritual pressure everywhere in the Seireitei. All you need to do is go in the direction where the collision of spiritual pressure is the most intense.
"Although but...you make it impossible for me to explain..."
Jingraku Shunsui's face was full of helplessness.
That's why he thinks this young man is troublesome.
People like this who have clear goals and are not moved by external things are the most difficult to deal with.
"Besides... you just walking over like this makes me look stupid."
call--
The breeze whistled, and the body shone.
The flower-weaving Haori once again appeared in Sadatora's sight, and then two sword lights rose from bottom to top, lifting scattered cherry-colored petals. They looked beautiful but actually hid murderous intent.
This is Kyoraku Shunsui's best two-sword style slashing technique. Usually, he first uses the short sword that is faster in cutting and good at defense to tease the enemy, and then uses the long sword that is good at attacking to inflict fatal damage to the enemy. The whole process is like playing a game.
He is generally relaxed and free-spirited, and more importantly, he can use long or short knives with both hands. The left and right knives can be switched at any time during the battle. The attack distance and attack method are unpredictable, and ordinary enemies will probably be fooled to death.
But this time...it didn't seem to work on the boy in front of me.
嗗——
Jingraku Shunshui's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Tsk...how should I describe the compatibility between us...it's not very good..."
He murmured, sheathed the knife and stepped back, feeling a headache.
The young man in front of him was probably the type he least wanted to face.
Just now, this young man blocked his own attack in the simplest and crudest way.
That's right, the opponent just raised his hand to block the slash.
That amazing defensive power even prevented his double swords from leaving any traces on the opponent's weird arm.
This type of opponent that cannot be defeated with skill is the type of opponent that Kyoraku Shunsui has the most trouble with, because if there is no other way... he will probably have to fight for real.
But the problem is that he doesn't want to free the Zanpakutō here now.
His Zanpakutō ability is very special. Once it is released, this battle will gradually evolve into a real fight to the death.
No need, absolutely not necessary.
Why don't we just let him go?
Kyōraku Shunsui even had such an idea in his mind.
But if you do this, you will be punished? Let’s try it first...
Thinking of this, Kyōraku Shunsui once again walked forward to meet the oncoming boy.
But the expression on Chadu Taihu's face still didn't change much.
He just briefly glanced at his arm, and after confirming that the man's knife had not hurt him, he continued to walk in the designated direction.
At least so far, this man is not a threat to me, so in this case, there is no need to pay attention to it.
With his body that has been cruelly tempered countless times, no one can stop him.
tread--
The ground was suddenly trampled and collapsed.
Under Kyōraku Shunsui's astonished gaze, the young man who had been walking slowly before now started to gallop.
He originally thought that the unusually large and hard arm made the young man move slowly, but it seemed that he was wrong. The reason why the young man moved so slowly before was because he simply did not run.
clang--
The sound of metal clashing exploded.
The giant's arm slammed into the two swords held up by Kyōraku Shunsui who was standing in front of him.
"this……"
Kyōraku Shunsui broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
His legs left two deep marks on the ground, and the hands holding the two swords were trembling.
In the head-on strength competition, he actually lost to the young man in front of him.
呲——
A violent friction sound was heard.
The blade sliced through the hard armor, but left no trace other than sparks.
Chadata Taihu sideways knocked out of the way of the man in front of him and ran straight in the direction where the powerful spiritual pressure collided in the distance.
He felt that there was a terrifying spiritual pressure in that direction that was full of murderous intent, and the companions facing this spiritual pressure obviously felt that no matter who they were, they were in danger.
"Oops... I'm really going to get scolded now... Speaking of which... what kind of monster is this?"
Kyōraku Shunsui patted his butt and got up helplessly from the ground, looking at the figure running away with cold sweat on his forehead.
He didn't really care about being scolded, since he would be scolded sooner or later anyway.
But what he is now very curious about is who this young man is.
Such an indestructible body is simply more terrifying than that monster Zaraki.
I can't stop it, no matter what I think, I can't stop it.
Who can stop a tank with the accelerator pedaled to death from rampaging through the Seireitei?
The only way to stop this boy might be to kill him...
Kyōraku Shunsui slowly retracted his Zanpakutō and began to smash it.
In his opinion, this is just a farce, because fighting such a monster in a farce is something only a fool would do.
"..."
On the wall that was knocked open, Ise Nanao looked silently at his captain who got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
She was also shocked.
The captain was knocked away by his head? What kind of monster was the one who was in trouble just now?
At least in all the years she has been on the job, she has never seen her captain look so helpless when facing a person.
Is it really okay to just let this travel disaster go?
Ise Nanao turned his head hesitantly and looked at the retreating figure.
She knew very well that her captain had obviously let go and didn't even call out Zanpakutō's name, but even so, the captain's strength was undoubted. At least she wouldn't necessarily be able to face a captain who didn't free Zanpakutō.
Be sure to win.
And the troublemaker who can escape from such a captain so easily is a dangerous guy after all. Letting him escape like this will probably cause a big mess... What should we do if Captain Yamamoto is blamed?
Thinking of this, Ise Nanao turned around and seemed ready to catch up.
"Okay, Xiao Qixu, let's stop here..."
Just as Nanao was about to move, a hand held her shoulder.
This time, she clearly felt that her captain was no longer as gentle as usual, but was holding her down very seriously.
"Let him go. Such a polite child shouldn't cause any big trouble."
Kyoraku Shunsui said with a smile.
"But..." Ise Nanao hesitated.
"No buts."
The smile on Jingraku Shunsui's face gradually disappeared, "It's useless even if you catch up with a guy like that...and we seem to have other troubles now."
As he spoke, he slowly turned around and looked towards the open space.
Ise Nanao also turned around after hearing this.
Soon, she saw the figure kneeling in front of them and frowned.
Appearing in front of them were people from the fifth detachment of the Liting Team (Secret Mobile) and the Order Department.
"What do you think the people from the Li Ting team are doing here?"
As an adjutant, even as the captain's right-hand man, Ise Nanao naturally asked on behalf of his captain, "If it's an order, just send the Hell Butterfly, right?"
Although she looked calm on the outside, she was actually full of doubts in her heart.
What's going on? Is it possible that the news that the captain let go of the travel disaster reached the ears of the big shots so quickly? Someone was sent to investigate the responsibility so quickly?
No, impossible!
"Yes..." the secret mobile man replied in a deep voice, "but this order is very special. It is a joint order signed by Captain Yamamoto and Captain Hitsugaya 10th Division. It is necessary for me to relay it personally."
"What?"
Hearing the description of the man who maneuvered in secret, Ise Nanao and Kyoraku Shunsui couldn't help but frowned, "The two captains jointly signed...could it be the first level of martial law?"
"That's right." The man with the secret maneuver lowered his head and answered truthfully, "Not long ago, the captain of the fifth division, Sosuke Aizen, died unfortunately! According to preliminary examination, the cause of death was that the lock knot and sleeping soul were taken out by the Zanpakutō, and
The heart was also damaged. He was killed by someone, not an accident. The murderer has not yet been identified. Please captains to implement first-level martial law."
"..."
Hearing such news, Ise Nanao was stunned.
Has a captain been killed?
She turned around in disbelief and looked at Kyōraku Shunsui beside her.
But after hearing this, Jingraku Shunsui's expression didn't change much for some reason. He just sighed a little, "That's it... Soyousuke him... Then I should go and see him for the last time..."
With that said, he gently waved his hand to signal the secret mobile people to leave.
"What should I do...Captain?" After the outsiders left, Ise Nanao looked at his captain and asked with a somewhat solemn expression, "Now that Captain Aizen has been killed, these travel accidents are very suspicious, do you want to go and investigate what just happened?"
Is that guy coming back?"
"No need..." Jingraku Chunshui said calmly.
But Ise Nanao still hesitated: "But... Captain Aizen's death may have been caused by his accomplices..."
"Hmm... maybe? But maybe it's not what you think..."
Kyoraku Shunsui turned his head and said helplessly, "No matter what, let's go see Soyousuke for the last time, right?"
Although he said that, he just got a very important clue from the secretly mobile person...
'The Zanpakutō took away the knot and the sleeping soul, destroying the heart.'
How could a guy who could kill a captain with his Zanpakutō so skillfully be the cause of these travel disasters that came from nowhere?
And...he always felt like there was something wrong with this matter.
"Things seem to be getting more and more troublesome? Anyway... let's go take a look first? If it is really caused by a travel accident, it won't be too late to catch him..."
Kyōraku Shunsui murmured as he crossed his arms and left.
His back looked a little weak, and the feathers woven with words undulated in the wind, looking a little lonely like falling flowers.
"yes……"
Ise Nanao was a little worried when she saw that her captain's mood was completely different from usual, but she could only keep up with him.
