Chapter 500
"Whoosh...!" The massive scythe slashed through the air with a whooshing sound.
"Smack...!" This time, Chen Fan easily blocked it with his left hand.
After the other Resurrección, Cero Arrancar lion form shot out towards Chen Fan with a "whoosh..."
Chen Fan used the Mantis -shaped Arrancar to block Cero Fan's Cero; the Mantis was no match for Chen Fan's strength.
"Boom...!" The Cero struck the Mantis Arrancar directly on the back, causing an explosion. The blast wave Kaien Shiba and the other Shinigami, as well as the Hollows, to retreat, shattering the surrounding trees. The Mantis Arrancar let out a scream, barely clinging to life. Cero is a beam-like flash of light, a highly concentrated spiritual pressure used by Menos and above, possessing astonishing destructive power.
"Damn it!" the lion-form Arrancar roared angrily, charging towards Chen Fan, causing the ground to tremble. Chen Fan snapped off the Mantis's forearm and swung it at the lion-form Arrancar.
"Pfft...!" The lion-shaped phantom was cleaved in two by Chen Fan before it could even let out a scream;
At this moment, the ordinary Void beings also rushed towards Chen Fan. They were of low intelligence and unaware of their own mortality, but Chen Fan didn't want to waste any more time. He needed to get back as soon as possible.
Tell Kaien Shiba and the others to stay far away. Chen Fan's powerful spiritual pressure made him the most delicious food in the eyes of all these mindless, gluttonous monsters, and they all pounced on Chen Fan. Chen Fan released his own spiritual pressure.
"Buzz...!" The air became incredibly heavy, the earth began to crack, and fragments floated into the air. Chen Fan's spiritual pressure reversed gravity. Kaien Shiba and the others felt the impact of Chen Fan's spiritual pressure. Even though they had already escaped far away using Shunpo, their bodies were still trembling. The spiritual pressure was simply too powerful, so powerful that these low-level Hollows simply could not withstand it.
"Sasha..." Chen Fan's powerful spiritual pressure impacted these Hollows, turning them all to ashes and killing them. The Mantis -shaped Arrancar, already on the verge of death, sensed Chen Fan's spiritual pressure, and his expression changed. He thought bitterly, "I didn't expect that Demon King to be here. I've been running away, but in the end, I still died at his hands. Lord Aizen, you'd better be careful! This guy..." Before he could finish speaking, his body also turned to ashes.
Chapter Seventy-Five: Rules (First Update)
(Chapter 75 Rules)
After eliminating all the Hollows, Chen Fan began his journey back, hoping to catch Rukia's execution. He didn't want any further complications. The Hogyoku was inherently unsafe, and Chen Fan had always treated it as a radioactive material, keeping as far away as possible. Even characters like Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sado were affected by the Hogyoku's radiation within Rukia, making the Hogyoku far too dangerous for Chen Fan.
Rukia's execution was scheduled for noon, not earlier and not later; rules are rules.
It seemed that the more one paid attention to time, the faster it seemed to pass. Soon, as noon approached, the gates of the Shrine of Penitence were opened, and several people Rukia to the True Reaper Punishment Field.
Despite being severely injured, Kenpachi Zaraki decided to help Ichigo Kurosaki rescue Rukia, mainly because it was fun. He then rescued Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, and the others, and ran towards the True Reaper Punishment Field.
"Could I ask what's been happening lately?" Rukia asked the person next to her as she headed to the True Reaper Punishment Field. Although she had been confined to the Shrine of Penitence, made of Sealing Stone, there was always a Little One, ventilated opening in the Shrine of Penitence.
It was the only source of light where Rukia was imprisoned. Everyone longs for light in the darkness, especially those who are guilty of sins. Therefore, almost all the prisoners in the Shrine of Penitence would stay in that vent of light day and night.
But looking down through the light-filled opening, one could see the True Reaper Punishment Field he was about to be executed. The huge "gate"-shaped support and the spears standing tall were the Sōkyoku Platform where he was about to be executed.
It is a place that brings light to criminals, yet also exposes them to despair, forcing them to repent for their sins in that despair. This is the Shrine of Penitence —how vivid! This cruelty is not limited to this one place; there is also the execution ground, where prisoners are thrown in to fight against Hollows while others watch from above. There are also many, many dark places. The Seireitei itself is so heinous that it deserves to be destroyed as many times as it may be.
To get back to the point, it was through that narrow crack that Rukia was able to hear some chaotic noises outside, which had been going on for several days in a row. Of course, she was curious about what was happening.
The executioners Rukia exchanged glances. They knew that the final requests of condemned prisoners had to be fulfilled, and then recounted everything that had happened in the past few days to Rukia.
Hearing that Chen Fan was suspected of murdering the Third Division Captain Gin Ichimaru and the Fifth Division Captain Aizen, and that the Captain of the Ninth Division Kaname Tosen just a few days, Rukia was shocked. Compared to them, what did her own execution matter?
Then, upon hearing that Ichigo Kurosaki had seemingly defeated Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, he felt relieved but also somewhat worried. It seemed that Uryu Ishida had also Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division, but he himself had been captured.
Next, Chen Fan severely injured Kensei Muguruma Captain of the Seventh Division, and finally broke out of prison and injured Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the 6th Division;
"Big brother is injured!" Rukia in shock. She felt that Byakuya Kuchiki hadn't really looked at her properly, but she still considered him her Byakuya Kuchiki brother.
"It was just a minor injury. Lord Chen Fan showed mercy, and I've already fully recovered!"
"Phew...! Really! That's good!" Rukia a sigh of relief and said.
The executioners exchanged bewildered glances, surprised that Rukia, about to be executed herself, still had the mind to worry about others. However, they too had been somewhat anxious these past few days.
