At the same time.
World of the Living.
Karakura Town The sky is still clear.
The streets are busy with traffic, and ordinary people have no idea that some invisible monster is approaching quietly from the shadows.
Xingmu Longzhijie stood on top of the telephone pole and nervously adjusted his round glasses.
His Shihakushō was a bit wide and made a rustling sound in the wind.
"Madara, classmate Madarame, the fluctuation of Reiatsu today seems a bit strange."
"Don't call me classmate."
Shino Madarame was carrying Asauchi and stood on the roof nearby. His short black hair was messed up by the wind, but his eyes were very fierce.
"I'm on duty now, call me Captain Madarame."
"Yes, I'm sorry, Captain Madarame."
Xingmu Longzhijie immediately bowed his head and apologized.
Shino Madarame looked at him looking like he was about to break his glasses, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
How did you get into Thirteenth Division if you are so timid?
However, although this guy was timid, he never ran away at the critical moment.
He is barely a companion who can patrol together.
"Hey, you two newcomers, don't chat there."
Zenosuke Kurumadani jumped up from the street corner below, holding Zanpakuto in his hand, his face full of displeasure.
"I have been on duty at Karakura Town for so long, and I have never seen you guys so lax."
Shino Madarame Veins appear on his forehead.
"Who do you think is the newcomer?"
"Tell me about you."
Zenosuke Kurumadani is confident and confident.
"I am the guardian of Karakura Town Soul Reaper Zenosuke Kurumadani, Karakura Town."
Shino Madarame was about to reply when he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
A vague figure appeared there.
The other party was wearing white clothes, standing on the invisible Reishi pedal, holding a small bottle in his hand.
The next moment, the vial was crushed directly by him.
Odors invisible to the naked eye spread quickly.
Xingmu Longzhijie's expression changed instantly.
"Is this... bait?"
"Void bait?"
Zenosuke Kurumadani was also stunned.
Almost at the same time, the space everywhere in Karakura Town began to distort.
One by one, they emerged from the cracked Garganta.
Screams, the Roar sounds, and Reiatsu waves filled the entire city in an instant.
Shino Madarame Hold the knife handle tightly.
"Don't be stunned, chop!"
She rushed out first.
Asauchi streaked through the air and pushed back a virtual creature that had just landed on the rooftop.
Zenosuke Kurumadani followed closely and shouted, "Let you see the strength of the guardian Karakura Town!"
Xingmu Longzhijie was half a beat too late, gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife.
"Hadō #4, Byakurai!"
White lightning shot out from his fingertips and penetrated a small hollow mask.
Xu's body screamed, then turned into Reishi and dissipated.
Xingmu Longzhijie was slightly startled.
Hit.
He actually hit it.
"Don't be dazed!"
Shino Madarame kicked him in the side.
The next second, a claw fell down grazing Xingmu Longzhijie's face, scratching several cracks in the cement floor under his feet.
Xingmu Longzhijie was covered in cold sweat.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you, let's wait and see if you survive!"
Shino Madarame rushes forward with a sword, and the shortened Shihakushō makes her movements extremely neat.
Her Zanjutsu is not gorgeous, but fierce enough.
Each knife hits the empty joints and mask.
But the problem is, there is too much virtuality.
When one fell, two quickly took over.
The three of them were beaten all the way from the neighborhood to the commercial building, where they were forced to retreat to the high-rise rooftop.
Zenosuke Kurumadani already had several wounds on his body, but he still spoke harshly.
"They are just empty. No matter how many there are, they are just miscellaneous soldiers."
As soon as he finished speaking, a void hit him from behind, knocking him directly into the wall.
Is it too late to take back what you just said?
Xingmu Longzhijie wanted to support, but was hit in the chest by another virtual tail.
Bang!
He flew backwards and hit the edge of the rooftop hard.
The glasses fell to the ground and the lenses were cracked.
"Ryunosuke!"
Shino Madarame turned around and shouted.
Xingmu Longzhijie wanted to answer, but could only cough up a mouthful of blood.
His vision began to blur.
Three phantoms surrounded him.
One of them raised its huge paw and aimed it at his head.
Xingmu Longzhijie tried hard to hold the knife.
But I couldn't lift my fingers.
Damn.
He clearly promised to become a qualified Soul Reaper.
Obviously I don't want to hold you back anymore.
In the end, it was still so useless.
"Get out of my way!"
Shino Madarame ignored the attacks from behind and rushed in front of Xingmu Longzhijie.
She opened her arms and blocked the empty claw with her body.
Her shoulder was still bleeding, and the hand holding the knife was shaking.
But she didn't retreat.
11th Division people can fall.
But you cannot leave your back to the enemy.
"Madara... eyes..."
Xingmu Longzhijie's voice is weak.
Shino Madarame Close your eyes.
If this claw comes down, she will probably die.
She is actually afraid too.
But more than fearing death, she was more afraid of retreating.
The next moment, the sword flashed.
The empty movement froze in mid-air.
Then, its huge body was split in the middle, and the mask and torso were cut in half.
The figure of black Shihakushō fell on the rooftop.
The orange hedgehog head is particularly conspicuous in the sun.
Ichigo Kurosaki carried Zangetsu and looked back at them.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Shino Madarame was stunned.
Behind Ichigo, Uryū Ishida pushed up his glasses, and Reishi Bow took shape in his hands.
Orihime Inoue quickly ran to Xingmu Longzhijie, and the hairpin lit up softly.
Yasutora Sado stood at the entrance to the rooftop, blocking the approaching void with his huge arms.
"Santen Kesshun!"
The golden barrier blocked the attack of the virtual group.
Orihime Inoue knelt beside Xingmu Longzhijie, his voice gentle but serious.
"Sōten Kisshun, I refuse."
A light golden mask covers Xingmu Longzhijie.
The wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shino Madarame stared at this scene blankly.
Is this the power of World of the Living's group of people?
Zenosuke Kurumadani climbed out of the wall, the corners of his mouth twitching.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, you guys came too slowly!"
Ichigo glanced at him.
"Who are you?"
Zenosuke Kurumadani was petrified on the spot.
"You actually forgot about me?"
Uryū Ishida calmly shot dozens of Reishi arrows, piercing all the voids flying in the distance.
"Now is not the time to reminisce."
"The number is still increasing."
Ichigo looked up at the sky.
Garganta is still opening.
More and more virtual beings are attracted by the bait.
His expression darkened.
"It will really cause trouble for people."
He held Zangetsu in front of him.
Black Reiatsu exploded.
"Bankai."
"Tensa Zangetsu."
The huge Zangetsu turned into a slender black knife, and the black and red Reiatsu wrapped around Ichigo's body.
The next moment, he appeared in mid-air.
All the voids raised their heads at the same time.
Ichigo wields a knife.
"Crescent Moon... Tian Chong!"
The black crescent moon fell from the sky.
The virtual group above the entire block was swallowed up by a knife.
The explosion did not affect the building, but accurately tore apart all the virtual objects that came close.
Reishi spread out like rain.
Shino Madarame opened his mouth.
Xingmu Longzhijie slowly opened his eyes in the photo mask, and at first sight he saw Orihime Inoue standing next to him.
"I... am still alive?"
"Hmm."
Orihime Inoue smiled.
"It's okay now."
Uryū Ishida looked at the broken glasses on the ground, and then glanced at Garganta who was gradually disappearing in the distance.
"Someone released Lure Drug."
There is another sentence he didn't say, this is Quincy's method.
Yasutora Sado asked in a deep voice, "Is it a test?"
Ichigo fell back to the rooftop and released Bankai, his expression was not pretty.
"Take the injured away first."
"My home is close to here."
Zenosuke Kurumadani immediately said, "Hey, why are you going to your house? I can still continue fighting!"
Ichigo looked at his dusty appearance.
"You need to dig yourself out of the wall first."
Damn it, can't refute it.
Kurosaki Family.
Ichigo's bedroom was crowded with people.
Xingmu Longzhijie was lying on the floor, and Orihime Inoue continued to use Sōten Kisshun to stabilize his injury.
Shino Madarame was sitting by the window, his arm wrapped in a temporary bandage, his expression still stubborn.
Zenosuke Kurumadani squatted in the corner, muttering softly that he was Karakura Town who was officially stationed at Soul Reaper.
Uryū Ishida leaned against the desk, analyzing the Reishi that remained in the bait.
Yasutora Sado stood at the door, like a wall of silence.
Ichigo sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, his face getting worse and worse.
"So, that guy lured Xu here and then ran away?"
"Not entirely."
Uryū Ishida raised his head.
"Lure Drug is something that only Quincy can make."
Ichigo frowned.
"Quincy?"
Uryū Ishida did not answer immediately.
His fingers pressed lightly on the cross badge.
At this moment, the window was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A white figure came in naturally.
He has a hollow fragment in his right eye, an arrogant smile on his pale face, the collar of his white windbreaker is turned up, and there is a cross-shaped badge hanging on his chest.
"Ichigo Kurosaki."
The visitor stood on the window sill, looking down at everyone.
"Come with me."
The room was quiet for a moment.
Ichigo raised his head.
"Who are you?"
The smile on Azquierro Ebern's face froze.
"You don't know who I am?"
"Should I know?"
Ichigo stood up.
Azquierro Ebern sneered, raised his hand and condensed Reishi Bow.
"How arrogant, but it doesn't matter, I will make you remember my name soon."
Before he finished speaking, Ichigo had already appeared in front of him.
"This is my room."
"Knock before you come in, you bastard!"
Bang!
Ichigo kicked Ebern in the face.
Orihime helped open the window.
Ebern flew backwards.
Outside, Ebern came over Karakura Town, the bridge of his nose was a little crooked, and the arrogance on his face turned into anger.
"Ichigo Kurosaki!"
"Follow me if you can!"
Ichigo focused his eyes, returned to Soul Reaper state, and chased him out of the air.
