Ichigo Kurosaki held Substitute Shinigami Badge in one hand and shuttled quickly under the dim street lights.
Just now, he felt a violent Reiatsu wave.
That force not only directly shattered the virtual Reiatsu, but also exploded with astonishing destructive power in an instant. The location was not too far away from Kurosaki Clinic.
The green-haired girl named Nozomi Kujō had just left. Ichigo felt a little uneasy and immediately chased her out.
Soon, he saw a petite figure at the corner ahead.
Nozomi Kujō's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and even his walking steps were shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.
In her hand, she was holding a dirty yellow lion doll.
Seeing Ichigo coming towards him, Nozomi Kujō stopped.
She raised her arm expressionlessly and threw her soul directly at Ichigo.
"Patch your useless doll."
Ichigo hurriedly caught the soul and looked at the doll in his hand with a look of astonishment on his face.
Half of Hun's face was sunken, and his body was in tatters, with even the cotton inside the doll leaking out.
"Hey, are you in any trouble? What happened to that Reiatsu just now?"
Ichigo asked with a frown.
"Ichigo! You have no idea how brave I was just now!"
"How brave can you be?"
"Just now, there was a three-headed Hollow that pounced directly on the beautiful and delicate Miss Wangshi!"
"Sir, I stepped forward and smashed that monster's mask with a gorgeous flying kick at the critical moment!"
"Sir, I am now Miss Wangshi's exclusive flower protector, right, Miss Wangshi?"
Hun turned around and looked forward affectionately with his only good eye.
However, Nozomi Kujō didn't even give him an extra look.
She turned around, holding the Asauchi without saying a word, and walked slowly towards the depths of the street.
Seeing the other party's weak look, Ichigo subconsciously tried to persuade him to stay. He said bluntly, "You can't even stand still. Where are you going? There are dangers everywhere outside. Why don't you come back with me first..."
"No need."
Nozomi Kujō directly interrupted Ichigo.
She stopped and turned around, revealing half of her pale cheeks, her eyes full of rejection and defensiveness.
"I don't need your help Soul Reaper."
"Stop bothering me."
Ichigo suddenly felt very angry.
There is definitely something wrong with this woman's mind.
I obviously wanted to help her with good intentions, but she was like a hedgehog, pricking anyone she saw.
He just wanted to raise his voice and argue with this woman.
However, before the words were spoken, the surrounding air suddenly stagnated.
The whole street instantly fell into a suffocating and heavy atmosphere.
The street lights on the roadside began to flash violently, making a "sizzling" sound of electricity, and then exploded with a loud bang.
Ichigo I felt my shoulders sink suddenly, as if a huge mountain was pressing down without warning.
What's going on?
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above Karakura Town in surprise.
The clouds in the sky were shattered by a violent force.
In midair, the space made a heart-wrenching sound of tearing.
A huge black crack slowly opened in the air dozens of meters above the ground.
The rich and substantial Reiatsu is like a flood that bursts from a dam, pouring down from the cracks.
The moment he felt this Reiatsu, Ichigo's face became solemn.
This is?
Captain-level combat power.
Nozomi Kujō on the side felt as if his whole body had been struck by lightning when the crack appeared.
Her originally pale complexion became even whiter.
The slender legs were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Found it.
Those guys came just for her.
If it had been before yesterday, she wouldn't have cared whether Ichigo and that annoying doll were alive or dead.
People in this world are only enemies to her.
But.
That stupid doll named Soul was obviously very weak, but just now he still opened his arms to block her.
That feeling of being protected was a warmth she had never experienced in her short and incomplete life.
She must not involve these two idiots.
Those people will absolutely kill anyone who gets in their way.
"What are you looking at! Get away! Don't block my way!"
Nozomi Kujō suddenly yelled at Ichigo.
Then, she gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards the end of the street opposite to the crack.
"I told you a long time ago that I don't need you to meddle in my own business!"
"Stop being so sentimental, I don't want to see you nasty Soul Reapers, get as far away from me as you can!"
"Absolutely, absolutely don't follow me, you idiot!"
Ichigo looked at the girl's fleeing back, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
This fool.
Ichigo gritted his teeth and without any hesitation, directly pressed Substitute Shinigami Badge on his chest.
Accompanied by a dazzling Reishi light.
The body fell down, and the wide Shihakushō and the huge Zangetsu that were as big as door panels appeared instantly.
He, Ichigo Kurosaki, has never been the kind of person who can pretend to be indifferent when seeing others in need of help.
Whether it's the human World of the Living or the female Soul Reaper with thorns all over her body.
Now that he has encountered him, he must deal with it to the end.
"Hun, take my body and stay away, don't come out and get in the way!"
Ichigo grabbed the doll on the ground, took out the soul's body, and stuffed it into his body.
Then, he picked up Zangetsu with one hand, transformed into a swift black shadow, and chased after Nozomi Kujō in the direction he left.
"Ah! Ichigo you barbarian!"
The soul that just obtained the body of Ichigo shouted!
On the street.
Nozomi Kujō ran desperately.
My legs felt as heavy as lead.
Can't escape.
She knew very well in her heart that she had exhausted her Reiatsu. In this hunt, she was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
But we have to run, run a little further, away from the range of Kurosaki Clinic, away from those two idiots.
Bang!
Just when Nozomi Kujō crossed the intersection ahead.
The originally empty air in front suddenly appeared with twisted ripples like water waves.
She couldn't dodge at all and hit him hard.
The huge reaction force directly knocked her body away and fell to the ground.
The Asauchi in my hand also flew out of my hand and slid far away.
What's going on?
Who is blocking her in front?
Nozomi Kujō endured the severe pain and raised his head in despair.
The spatial ripples in front of her slowly dissipated, and a heavy Reiatsu covered her, making her breathing uncomfortable.
Ichigo Kurosaki, who was chasing behind, also arrived on the heels of Shunpo.
Sensing something strange ahead, Ichigo stopped behind Nozomi Kujō.
Looking up, his pupils narrowed slightly.
