Chapter 6: Hadō #63, Raikōhō

"I'm going to eat you!"

The Spirit Word activated, Zhao Hao's eyes began to bleed, and his body suddenly swelled.

Servant of the King, this is a Spirit Word that can strengthen oneself and surrounding teammates, with the enhancement effect reaching the limit of the human body.

Lu Mingfei looked at him with disgust: "I originally thought this was a normal world, but I didn't expect this world to have disgusting things like you. Scum like you deserve to die no matter where you are."

Zhao Hao exerted force with his legs, creating a pit in the ground beneath his feet, and charged at Lu Mingfei, thrusting out with his elbow, preparing to forcefully smash the man in front of him to death.

He had already imagined the miserable state of this man, a twisted smile appearing on his face.

But Lu Mingfei simply extended his left hand, directly blocking his attack, and with a push of his arm, the swollen monster was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

A roar sounded, and Zhao Hao climbed up from the ground, his swollen body beginning to be covered in scales.

If he still had some reason before, and it would take time to become a Dead Servant, then now he had completely degenerated into a Dead Servant.

Zhao Hao, who had turned into a Dead Servant, had a body full of fat covered in iron-gray scales, a long tongue sticking out of his mouth, drooling on the ground, staring intently at Lu Mingfei, ready to attack at any moment.

Su Xiaoqiang, standing behind Lu Mingfei, felt her stomach churn at the sight of the monster, the impact of such a creature was too great for her.

"Truly unsightly."

Lu Mingfei sheathed his Zanpakuto, he was going to completely destroy this monster next, leaving no trace.

Lu Mingfei pointed his left index finger at Zhao Hao: "Bakudō #61, Rikujōkōrō."

Six beams of light appeared out of thin air around Zhao Hao, instantly binding his body. In the face of these six beams of light, his Dead Servant form was completely immobilized, only able to roar ineffectually.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, lifting him into the air. The next attack would be quite powerful, so this was to avoid damaging the road and to eliminate any traces of the battle.

"It's better not to let the world know about monsters like you," Lu Mingfei said softly, then looked at Su Xiaoqiang, "Little Goddess, cover your ears."

"Okay."

Su Xiaoqiang immediately covered her ears as Lu Mingfei instructed. After Lu Mingfei's magical rescue just now, she had become completely trusting of him.

"Bones of the beast that form a pair, spire, crimson crystal, wheels of iron."

In the night wind, Lu Mingfei raised his left hand, his fingers slightly curled.

Danger!

The beast's instinct told Zhao Hao that he had to dodge the attack from the man in front of him, but no matter how he struggled, it was useless.

"Move like the wind, stop like the void, the sound of spears clashing fills the empty city!"

While he struggled, the incantation quietly ended.

A golden light appeared in Lu Mingfei's palm, and at the same time, wisps of lightning coiled between his fingers.

Confirming that the range of this attack would not affect the surrounding buildings, Lu Mingfei said coldly:

"Hadō #63, Raikōhō!"

In the darkness, a golden flash appeared in this deep alley.

With a loud bang.

The shockwave carrying the thunder instantly struck the locked, deformed monster, turning him into ashes amidst screams.

Before he could fully recover his strength, Lu Mingfei could only perform a complete chant to increase the power of the Kidō, so he could be sure of blasting him into dust.

As long as he blasted this disgusting monster into dust, no one would discover this strange creature.

However, the sound was so loud that someone would probably come to see what happened here soon, so he had to leave quickly.

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang, whose eyes were dazed and her mouth slightly open: "Little Goddess, let's go, someone will be here soon."

"But my legs are a bit weak, what should I do if I can't walk fast?" Su Xiaoqiang came back to her senses and looked at Lu Mingfei, on the verge of tears.

Lu Mingfei sighed and walked in front of Su Xiaoqiang.

Is he going to...? Su Xiaoqiang's face turned red.

Lu Mingfei hugged Su Xiaoqiang's leg with his left arm, his shoulder pressed against her waist, and his right hand protected her back, then he exerted force to lift her.

Just like that, Su Xiaoqiang was slung over Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

Su Xiaoqiang was in disarray on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, could he be called worthy of his name? What he did was always so unexpected.

After running a long distance.

"Okay," Lu Mingfei put Su Xiaoqiang down, "We've successfully escaped the danger zone."

After standing up, Su Xiaoqiang took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped her tear-streaked face.

Lu Mingfei transformed his Zanpakuto into a silver cross necklace and put it back around his neck.

After wiping herself clean, Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The experience tonight could be described as fantastical. Not only did she encounter a perverted killer monster like in the movies, but when she was desperate, it was Lu Mingfei, who had always appeared ordinary in class, who saved her, and he even used such outrageous techniques.

She had never experienced such a roller coaster of emotions in her life.

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang in front of him. She was covered in dust, and the tear stains on her face were still visible. She, who was always meticulously dressed, now looked dirty.

Su Xiaoqiang was just an ordinary person, and she had been too frightened tonight. Let alone her, if it were her past self encountering this, she wouldn't fare any better.

Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's pitiable state, Lu Mingfei felt a pang of sympathy. He had few friends in this world.

Although Su Xiaoqiang used to bicker with him because of Chen Wenwen, Lu Mingfei could always get a good share of any delicious food she had. He would sometimes smile knowingly when he thought of these things in the Soul Society.

After a moment of thought.

Lu Mingfei reached out and ruffled Su Xiaoqiang's hair, smiling at her as he said:

"I'll take you home later. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Su Xiaoqiang felt the warmth on her head, and a feeling of being wronged yet warm surged through her.

"Mhm!" Su Xiaoqiang held back tears and responded softly.

Walking home, her footsteps hurried, her mind a jumble of chaotic thoughts.

Su Xiaoqiang kept stealing glances at Lu Mingfei on the way, realizing how handsome his profile was.

The old Lu Mingfei always looked down on his luck. Even when they argued, she rarely saw his eyes clearly. Even the changed Lu Mingfei later on, in her opinion, had just become a bit more handsome. There were so many handsome guys, he wasn't special.

But the feeling now was completely different; she felt very safe by his side.

Along the way, whenever Lu Mingfei saw Su Xiaoqiang looking at him, he would smile at her gently. Each time, Su Xiaoqiang would blush and turn her head away.

Lu Mingfei believed he needed to stabilize the Little Goddess's emotions now and not agitate her further. So, whenever Su Xiaoqiang looked at him, he would face her with his gentlest smile.

Undeniably, it was tiring to keep smiling like this. Who told him he had benefited from her before? He had eaten so much of her food; he had to repay her in this situation.

Lu Mingfei didn't put himself on a pedestal just because he saved someone. In the Gotei 13, he always saved his teammates when they were in danger, as they were people he knew.

They arrived at their destination, a villa district. Every house was luxuriously decorated, a place for the truly wealthy in the city.

Thinking of himself sharing a room with his cousin, Lu Mingfei sighed, "Money is great."

"Alright, Lu Mingfei, we're here. You don't have to force that awkward smile anymore. I'm not scared now."

Su Xiaoqiang put her hands behind her back, turned to face Lu Mingfei, and flashed a brilliant smile, her eyes like crescent moons.
