Yan Si and Hirako Shinji walked side by side on the stone road in the Tenth Division block.
Go through the passage behind First Division and walk in the direction of Hill of the Twin Executions.
Occasionally, patrols pass by on the road. When they see Tenth Division and White Captain's Haori, they will unconsciously pause for a moment, then stand still and salute.
Hirako noticed.
"Your popularity rises so quickly."
Yan Si There is no looking back.
"It's not me they respect."
Hirako blinked and did not ask further questions.
He knows what Yan Si is going to say.
What they respect is that light.
The light on the Matilien team logo.
Hill of the Twin Executions. On the edge of the cliff, three people were already standing there.
Kyōraku Shunsui was leaning on the stone railing on the edge of the cliff, his bamboo hat held low, his fingers stroking the brim of his hat.
Ukitake Jūshirō stood beside him, his clothes were rustled by the wind on the cliff top, his face was still pale, but he stood straight.
Hikifune Kirio stood between the two of them, with his back to the cliff and his face to the way he came.
She was wearing Twelfth Division and Captain's Haori, with her hands folded in front of her body and her expression calm.
When he saw Hirako and Yan Si walking over, a hint of surprise flashed in Hikifune Kirio's eyes.
"Oh, I didn't expect you would come to see me off."
She is not close to Hirako and Yan Si.
To be precise, she is not close to most of the captains.
She belongs to the Research and Development Bureau and spends most of her time in the laboratory. She spends more time dealing with the soul of Reishi than with people.
"Well, I want to see what Squad Zero looks like."
Hirako stretched out his hand to pick his nostrils, and his tone was as casual as if he was visiting the vegetable market. "Hahaha," Kyōraku chimed in with a smile, "Actually, he looks just like us."
Jūshirō Ukitake coughed lightly.
"Everyone at Squad Zero is the senior of Thirteen Court Guard Squads."
"Senior, isn't he just old..." Hirako was patted on the shoulder by Kyōraku mid-sentence, and the second half was slapped back in his throat.
Several people stood there for less than two minutes.
The sky cracked.
No sound, no vibration.
Hill of the Twin Executions The sky directly above slid open to both sides without warning, revealing a regular circular hole.
The clouds were pushed away by invisible forces and surged outward in circles.
A pillar of light fell from the depths of the hole, with a diameter of several tens of feet, and a torrent of pure white Reishi struck straight from the ceiling to the ground.
The light beam hit the bluestone ground, and countless tiny Reishi light fragments sputtered around, and were supported by the air and slowly dissipated.
Then a voice came from the top of the light beam. "Hey, I'm here to pick up Hikifune Kirio!"
The voice was arrogant and confident, with no questions, no politeness, or even self-introduction.
Just like a person entering his own backyard, he shouted first from a distance.
Yan Si Look up.
Manifestation A human-shaped silhouette emerges from the light pillar. Walk down the Reishi stairs inside the light pillar.
He held a long hoe in his hand, one end of the hoe was slung on his shoulder, and his belt was tied loosely.
Tenjirō Kirinji.
Squad Zero The first officer of the Eastern Divine General.
Yan Si recognizes that face.
Kirinji jumped down from the light beam, and when he landed, his cloth shoes made a crisp sound on the stone floor, raising a small cloud of dust.
He walked towards Hikifune Kirio with a smile on his face and changed the toothpick from the left corner of his mouth to the right corner of his mouth.
"If there's anything else you haven't told me, hurry up. It's hard to get down after you go up." Hikifune Kirio shook his head slightly.
"Everything has been arranged."
She took a step forward with her right foot, preparing to follow Kirinji towards the light pillar.
Then her expression changed in an instant.
There is no transition, no warning, from calm to alert in less than half a blink of an eye.
Hikifune Kirio slapped the hilt of the knife on his waist with his right hand, pivoted with his left foot to block, and Asauchi unsheathed it and pulled it horizontally.
"What are you doing, Captain Yan Si!"
Her voice exploded on the top of the cliff.
Yan Si took two steps back and frowned as he looked at Hikifune Kirio who was attacking him with a backhand.
"Hey, Captain Hikifune Kirio, what are you doing?"
When he spoke, his tone was calm, with confusion but no panic.
Hikifune Kirio's blade couldn't stop, and the second knife was already slashing at an angle. Yan Si sidestepped again, and crushed a piece of gravel on the edge of the bluestone slab under his feet.
The gravel rolled down the cliff, and there was no reply for a long time.
No.
Yan Si's pupils contracted.
He looked around the top of the cliff, Kyōraku Shunsui's hands were already holding the Zanpakutō, Ukitake Jūshirō was slowly pulling out the blade, and Hirako Shinji was standing facing him, pressing the handle of the knife.
Hikifune Kirio's third sword is accumulating power.
All eyes are on him.
Everyone's knives are pointed at him.
"What's going on?"
Yan Si's voice was forced out of his throat, and he spread Reiatsu outward.
Within the range of perception, there is no abnormality in the Reiatsu of everyone present.
At least there is no Hollowification, no puppetization, and no trace of external force intrusion. "Captain Kyōraku?"
Kyōraku did not answer, and the face under the bamboo hat was mostly covered by shadows.
No, it's not that there is no answer.
Didn't hear it at all.
Yan Si eyes widened suddenly.
There is one more person.
There should have been only five people present: him, Hirako, Kyōraku, Jūshirō Ukitake, Hikifune, plus Kirinji, a total of six.
But right now his instincts are hammering at the back of his head... Seven, here are seven.
The seventh Reiatsu was extremely weak, so weak that it was blown away by the wind on the top of the cliff.
But the moment he took two more steps back and stepped on gravel, the sound of the wind behind the stone pillar at the corner of the cliff changed.
The subtle echo of the wind passing around a human-shaped obstacle can only be heard if you step on that position.
Yan Si holds the knife in his right hand. He spreads the perception from his feet to the entire Hill of the Twin Executions.
The blade in the scabbard whistled.
Vomit.
Hold the sword in your right hand, use yourself as the center of the circle, and cut horizontally in a circle.
"Cut with one sword, break the ring."
The sword light spreads in a ring shape in all directions, is so thin that it is almost invisible, and advances rapidly against the ground.
This is his original creation Zanjutsu. It does not aim at killing, but integrates perception into the spreading blade.
Every inch of space swept by the knife light, temperature, distance, Reishi density, and body contours are all fed back into the brain.
a.
two...
Seven.
The seventh form appeared behind the stone pillar at the edge of Hill of the Twin Executions, standing close to the shadow of the stone pillar. The moment the broken sword light touched the opponent, the form shook.
Found it.
The figure of Yan Si disappeared from the place.
Flash Step landed accurately one meter to the side of the stone pillar.
The knife he held in his right hand had been switched to his left hand, his right shoulder dropped, and he hit the air directly in front of him with his shoulder.
His shoulder hit the entity.
There was a dull thud.
A figure fell out of the air, and hit the stone pillar with its back. The muffled groan was mixed with the clicking sound of ribs bearing the impact.
The man slid down the stone pillar and sat on the ground, raising his head suddenly.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada.
His eyes were wide open at this moment, his lips were open, and his right eye was full of disbelief.
He subconsciously reached out to reach for the Zanpakutō that had fallen three steps away. He grabbed the bluestone twice with his fingers and only caught a handful of gravel. "Kyōka Suigetsu..." Yan Si stood in front of him and looked down at him, "Do you think anyone can use it perfectly."
His tone was calm, not sarcastic, just a statement.
Tsunayashiro Tokinada's lips moved, as if he wanted to speak, but Yan Si did not give him this chance.
Flirting with backhand.
The sword light flashed once from bottom to top.
In less than half a breath, Tsunayashiro Tokinada's head left his neck and rolled onto the bluestone ground.
The headless body still maintained a sitting position, leaning against the stone pillar. It paused for a moment before slowly falling over.
When the head fell to the ground, all illusions on Hill of the Twin Executions were lifted.
Kyōraku Shunsui looked down at the half-unsheathed knife in his hand, and silently pushed it back.
Jūshirō Ukitake coughed violently, with embarrassment in his cough. When he put the knife back into its sheath, his fingers were trembling slightly.
Hikifune Kirio slowly retracted her attack stance. She looked at Yan Si and then at the corpse on the ground, her lips pursed into a straight line.
Hirako Shinji stared at Tsunayashiro Tokinada's head and slowly pulled out his little finger from his sleeve. Yan Si squatted down and picked up the fallen Zanpakutō from beside the body.
Enrakyōten, the blade is narrower than the general Asauchi, the hand guard is a bronze ring, and it is lighter than expected in the hand.
He turned the blade over to inspect the blade and wiped the dust off the back with his fingers.
"Hello."
Tenjirō Kirinji's voice came from behind.
Yan Si turned around.
Kirinji stood still, holding the hoe on his left shoulder, extending his right hand with his palm facing upwards, facing Yan Si.
"That Zanpakutō is not something you can hold."
He still had the toothpick in his mouth, shaking it up and down as he spoke.
His tone was no longer the lazy tone he had when picking up people before, but a dry command.
"This is my trophy."
Yan Si answered calmly. Enrakyōten can imitate all Zanpakutos he has ever seen. This kind of weapon cannot fall into the hands of others.
He doesn't need to explain.
Kirinji's eyes narrowed.
"What trophy? Just take it out if you don't want to get hurt."
Yan Si gripped the handle of Enrakyōten tightly.
He didn't respond, but looked directly into Kirinji's eyes.
Kirinji The hoe on his shoulder was slowly lowered.
There were less than ten steps between the two of them, and the wind on the top of the cliff suddenly stopped for a moment.
"What an arrogant brat."
Kirinji's mouth curled downwards. He no longer reached out to ask for it, but raised his hand to pull out the toothpick from his mouth and threw it to the ground.
The hoe slipped from his shoulder, and the moment it hit the ground, the bottom of the stick smashed the bluestone bricks.
"What an arrogant Squad Zero." Yan Si also moved at the same time.
His speed was a full body position faster than Kirinji predicted. Flash Step did not collide directly and moved ten meters diagonally to the side.
When it landed, the blade of Enrakyōten was already lighting up.
"Ryūjin Jakka."
Boom.
Flames exploded from the blade, and the crimson pillar of flame expanded violently outward with Yan Si as the center.
The heat wave pushed up the temperature at the top of the cliff by hundreds of degrees in an instant, the bluestone ground began to turn red, and the air twisted into ripples visible to the naked eye.
The trajectory of Kirinji's Flash Step plunged into the aftermath of the Flame Pillar.
He was hit head-on by the shock wave and flew backwards. He flipped six or seven times in the air before he stabilized his body. When he landed, the cloth soles of his shoes squeaked on the hot stone floor and white smoke erupted.
A section of his belt was singed, and there were a few clusters of sparks dancing on the edge of his left sleeve.
Kirinji looked down at his sleeves, then raised his head at Yan Si.
"You kid, do you want to die?" His expression finally changed.
Enrakyōten After use, the user's spiritual power is consumed. Soul Power
Even if an ordinary Shinigami gets this sword, it may be drained if it is copied from a Zanpakutō.
But the scale of the flames released by Yan Si's knife just now almost reached the level when Old Man Yamamoto liberated Ryūjin Jakka.
Kirinji knows what this means.
This guy's soul strength ranks among the top three in Seireitei.
Yan Si didn't look at him.
Yan Si's gaze crossed Kirinji, crossed the edge of the cliff of Hill of the Twin Executions, and landed in the direction of Noble District.
Tsunayashiro Clan's Estate occupies an entire block in this city. Looking from Hill of the Twin Executions, you can see the gray roofs glowing coldly in the sun.
Making trouble again and again.
Last time, Rukongai was forced to death with food. This time, Enrakyōten was directly used on Squad Zero during the induction ceremony.
Yan Si's hand holding the knife slightly adjusted its angle by an inch. "Back off."
He said this to Kirinji, but he didn't look at Kirinji at all.
Kirinji followed Yan Si's gaze and looked back, and he saw the outline of the Tsunayashiro Clan Estate.
In an instant, murderous intent surged from behind, so thick that it almost solidified.
Kirinji's teeth clenched.
"Your kid's gaze is too dangerous."
The soles of his feet were already building strength as he spoke.
But against an opponent who can release Yamamoto level Ryūjin Jakka, he is useless.
Kirinji no longer hesitated, suddenly raised his head and shouted towards the zenith:
"Do me a favor!"
Yan Si Back up immediately.
But it was still slow. A dark shadow fell from above, so fast that there was no sound of wind. It was just an ink dot that expanded into an ink curtain from above, and then poured it all on the back of Yan Si.
Spiritual Power.
disappeared.
Every fiber of Spiritual Power in Yan Si's body felt like it had been drained dry.
The flame was extinguished instantly, and Enrakyōten's blade was dyed black, spreading from the tip to the guard and then to the handle, and the entire knife was dyed into a piece of char.
Blackening.
The capabilities of Ichibē Hyōsube.
Yan Si The moment this name flashed through his mind, he already received a blow to his knees.
Kirinji appeared from behind him, grabbed his collar with his right hand, clasped his wrists with his left hand, and put his knee on his lumbar spine.
The three joints were stressed at the same time, and Yan Si's body was completely locked.
"What an arrogant little devil."
There was a sound from the sky. It was not Kirinji, it was falling from the circular hole that had not yet closed.
His voice was deep, slow and majestic, and every word was like a stone thrown from the sky.
"Take action against Squad Zero and imprison Muken for a hundred years."
Without saying a word, Kirinji jumped into the air holding Yan Si.
His figure flashed once over Hill of the Twin Executions, and then disappeared directly.
Kyōraku Shunsui took the step almost at the same time.
"Wait..."
As soon as his voice came out, where Kirinji had just stood there was only a small scorch mark still smoking on the bluestone brick.
The wind from the top of the cliff flows in again.
Ukitake Jūshirō stood on the edge of the cliff, holding on to the railing with both hands.
Hikifune Kirio's hand was still pressed on Asauchi. She looked down at the handle of the knife and said nothing.
Hirako Shinji walked to the stone pillar and looked down at Tsunayashiro Tokinada's head. There was still an expression of disbelief on that face, with his mouth open and his eyes facing the sky.
Hirako squatted down and his eyes stopped on that face for a while.
Then he stood up and turned to look in the direction where Yan Si disappeared.
"Hey."
Just sighed.
Nobles Street, Tsunayashiro Clan secret room.
Motonari is still sitting in the main seat, and all Reishi lamp on the wall are still lit.
A housekeeper came in from the side door, bent down and walked quickly to his side, and whispered a few words into his ear.
Motonari Finished listening.
He was silent for a long time, then raised his right hand and covered his face with his palm.
He covered it so hard that several deep grooves were squeezed between his fingers.
Then he laughed. The laughter leaked out from under his fingers, very soft and short.
There was a choking-like noise deep in his throat, but it was indeed a smile.
"One hundred years."
He put down his hands and returned to his normal expression.
"That's enough."
Central Great The Jail, Muken.
Darkness has no boundaries.
There is no light in Muken, not even the stone pillar floor itself reflects any light.
Black here is not a color, but a texture, a liquid-like existence that can completely immerse, suspend and engulf the body.
Two breathing sounds came and went.
"You're too anxious."
The voice of Chiziro Sochika came from the darkness, calm and calm, without any ups and downs. He is the seventh generation Kenpachi, a man imprisoned in Muken.
He knows everything that happened to Soul Society, because his Zanpakuto Urozakuro has been integrated with Seireitei.
Yan Si did not answer.
"You think what you did is right." Chiziro Sochika said again.
"What I did was right."
The voice of Yan Si responded from the same height of darkness.
"That's what you think." Chiziro Sochika's eyes flashed in the darkness, "The word correct itself is arrogant."
"I'm just right."
Yan Si answered without any hesitation.
There was silence in the darkness for a short while.
Chiziro Sochika took a gentle breath.
"Really, you are really arrogant." After saying this, he closed his eyes.
The sound of breathing became even and long again, as if he was asleep or too lazy to speak again.
Yan Si did not continue to speak.
He leaned against the wall, eyes open in the darkness.
The concentration of Reishi in Muken is extremely thin. If an ordinary Shinigami stays here for a few years, Spiritual Power will begin to decline. A few hundred years is enough to destroy the foundation of a captain.
But his Spiritual Power is recovering at a very slow speed.
Blackening blocked the flow of Reishi in his body, but it was not permanent. This seal was healing itself bit by bit, and Spiritual Power regrouped into a very thin and light trickle deep in the blood vessels.
Wait.
Wait for this seal to completely dissipate, and then continue to practice in the absolute darkness of Muken.
Ten years, a hundred years.
Aizen will cause trouble.
Yhwach will appear. At that time, the door to Muken will open.
Yan Si Close your eyes.
After you get out, you need to break Soul Society into what he wants.
