Chapter 823 Philosopher's Stone and Collapsed Jade (Part 2)
"Looks like we have a guest."
Just as Hanatarō was trying to persuade Rukia to leave, Shen Fei suddenly turned his head to look at the suspension bridge in front of the Confession Palace. Byakuya Kuchiki, wearing the captain's feather, was slowly walking towards this side.
The Confession Palace is a lonely white tower. From the room inside, you can see the execution ground opposite, the Double Death Hill. That is where the Soul Society executes the most heinous death gods. The death penalty still exists in the Soul Society, but under normal circumstances, the death penalty for crimes will not be sentenced to death. Most of them will be sent to the Maggot Nest.
But occasionally there will be criminals who have a great impact and need to be punished by death to serve as a warning.
As a place to detain serious criminals, the Confession Palace has only one way to go back and forth, which is a long suspension bridge, so even if there are no guards here, generally speaking, prisoners have no chance to escape.
"Captain Kuchiki."
After hearing what Shen Fei said, Hanatarō immediately turned his head and saw that the person coming was Byakuya Kuchiki. He immediately fell to the ground in fear, and cold sweat broke out on his face. He looked very scared.
Byakuya Kuchiki, who always walked with a serious face, can be said to be the captain of the Gotei 13 who is most feared by the Shinigami below, except for Gin Ichimaru, not to mention that he has an identity of one of the four major families.
"Brother, I will not leave. Please let Teacher Shen go."
While Rukia was speaking, Byakuya Kuchiki, who was still some distance away from here, had come to about ten meters in front of the three people. The other party had just used the instant step to hurry on his way.
Hanatarō had already opened the door before, and Rukia could come out of the prison. After seeing Byakuya Kuchiki, she immediately blocked in front of Shen Fei, apparently afraid that Byakuya Kuchiki would attack Shen Fei.
"You should know that they are sinners who trespassed into the Soul Society." Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Rukia expressionlessly, and then turned his eyes to Shen Fei.
"It's better than the guy who can watch quietly while his sister is being executed." Shen Fei understands Byakuya Kuchiki's difficulties, and he also admires him. After all, as a noble family, if the Kuchiki clan does not abide by the rules, the rules will only become meaningless. From this perspective, Byakuya Kuchiki is a true noble.
Of course, he admires this kind of person, but he is also a little annoyed by his complete indifference to Rukia. After all, he is too inflexible.
"Are you going to do it? But your opponent is not me. Look, here it comes." When Byakuya Kuchiki pulled out his Zanpakutō, Shen Fei didn't care at all. Instead, he pointed behind him and said, Ichigo appeared on the other side of the suspension bridge. It seems that he won the battle with Kenpachi Zaraki.
After turning his head to look at Ichigo who was running over quickly, his expressionless and cold face finally showed some expression. Ichigo's appearance was beyond his expectation. The Death God's Chain Knot and Soul Sleep were pierced, but it was not so easy to recover. However, Ichigo now not only fully recovered the power of the Death God, but also became more powerful.
This was originally impossible, but it happened. With Kuchiki Byakuya's spiritual pressure, he naturally felt that Ichigo's spiritual pressure was the spiritual pressure he had fought with Kenpachi Zaraki before. Now Ichigo appeared here, and Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure disappeared. What the result was is obvious.
"Oh, we finally meet again. I will definitely not lose this time." Ichigo, who ran over, slowed down his pace immediately after seeing Kuchiki Byakuya. After seeing that it was Kuchiki Byakuya, he immediately rushed over with his Zanpakutō.
"It seems that you haven't recognized the gap between us yet."
Looking at Ichigo rushing over, Kuchiki Byakuya immediately repeated his old tricks, appeared behind Ichigo in an instant with a flash of flowers, and stabbed his chain knot and soul sleep again.
But this time, the result was completely different. The moment Byakuya made his move, Ichigo immediately hit his Zanpakutō with the blade of his Zanpakutō.
"I saw it this time." Ichigo, who blocked Byakuya's flash, showed an excited smile on his face.
"Ichigo."
"Big brother."
Seeing Ichigo and Byakuya fighting, Rukia on the side immediately shouted their names loudly, trying to stop the fight between the two, but unfortunately, the two were not stopped by Rukia at all.
"Rukia, don't worry, since he is your big brother, I won't hurt him, but I want to teach him a lesson. If he can't even protect his own sister, what kind of brother is he."
Ichigo turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Rukia, then immediately swung the huge Zanpakutō and chopped at Kuchiki Byakuya, who greeted him with an extremely ugly face.
Ichigo's strength changed so much that even he was stimulated.
"It's really unreasonable to become stronger."
Watching Ichigo and Byakuya Kuchiki fighting, Shen Fei felt a little emotional. At this moment, he was much stronger than when he fought Urahara Kisuke before. The battle with Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to have awakened his fighting talent. Of course, it was also possible that the battle of Byakuya Kuchiki had integrated some of his instincts.
"Even Utsusemi used it. It seems that Byakuya is really angry and is going to start to release it."
In less than half a month, the opponent who could be easily solved before could make him a little embarrassed now. Even the captain Yuzhi was abandoned. Although this was related to the surrounding fighting environment and the suspension bridge, it still made Byakuya Kuchiki very angry. After getting away, his Zanpakutō immediately stood upright in front of his chest and began to release it.
"Scattered, Senbonzakura."
However, at the moment when his Zanpakutō turned into a Sakura blade, a bandage suddenly wrapped around his Zanpakutō, preventing its release.
"It's really surprising. He can even stop Hakkai. Is it Kidō?" The one who stopped Kuchiki Byakuya's Hakkaki was naturally Yoruichi, who is known as the Shun God.
"Sure enough, it's you." Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Yoichi Sihoin who suddenly appeared, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. For Byakuya Kuchiki, Yoruichi was once a master he respected very much, but behind him Betraying Soul Society is a shame that Byakuya Kuchiki will never forget.
"Byakuya-chan, long time no see." Byakuya, who was already angry because of Yoruichi's appearance, became even more angry after hearing these words. When he was young, it didn't matter if Yoruichi called him that, but now he But it's been hundreds of years since Xian has grown up and become the captain of the Sixth Division.
"You betrayed the Soul Society and still dared to show up. I asked them how they could enter the Seireitei so easily. It turned out that you brought them in." As he spoke, Byakuya moved his wrist and removed the bandage that bound the Zanpakutō. Fall off.
"Don't be so excited."
Yoruichi said as he immediately avoided Kuchiki Byakuya's attack with Shunbu. After that, the two started a fierce Shunbu duel. On the small suspension bridge, the two people's figures flashed and appeared, but there was only one contact between them. None. From here, it can be seen that Yoruichi's Shunbu is superior to Byakuya's.
"Hey, your opponent is me." Ichigo, who was watching the duel between the two, became a little impatient. He waved his Zanpakutō and slashed at Byakuya Kuchiki. However, before Byakuya could counterattack, Yoruichi suddenly appeared. In front of Mao Zedong, he punched him unconscious and then put him on his shoulder.
The continuous battles made Ichigo not only seriously injured at this time, but also very tired. After entering the Seireitei, Ichigo first fought with Madarame Ikkaku, and then Abarai Renji. Then it was Kenpachi Zaraki, and now Byakuya Kuchiki. That is to say, Ichigo had a very strong will to save Rukia, so he persisted until now. If it had been anyone else, he would have fallen long ago.
Ichigo may feel that he can still hold on, but Yoichi cannot let him continue like this.
"Let's go." Yoruichi, who was carrying Ichigo, said something to Shen Fei and immediately prepared to leave the suspension bridge. However, at this time, Byakuya Kuchiki found an opportunity. After all, Yoruichi had brought more with him at this time. Alone, Shunpo was naturally affected, but it was a pity that Yoruichi also used Sora Chan to avoid Byakuya's attack.
"Are you running away again?"
"Now is not the time."
As Yoruichi spoke, his figure appeared and disappeared, and soon disappeared from the suspension bridge.
"Rukia, don't worry, you will be fine." Since Lucia doesn't want to leave, Shen Fei has no intention of forcing her to take her away. Now of course he can really take Lucia away, but in this way, she It will be difficult to clear the crime, and it will be difficult to return to Soul Society later.
The forty-sixth room in the central room are all a group of stubborn nobles. Even if this group is all killed by Aizen, the same idiots who will continue to come to power will definitely be the same fools. If you want to change this situation, unless you bring Soul Society's Most of the aristocratic families have to be wiped out.
If this was the Tang Dynasty, or a world related to China, Shen Fei might do this, but this is Soul Society, and he has no such idea. Strengthening his own strength in this world is the first priority. , we should leave matters like reform to the people of the Gotei Thirteenth Team.
There is a big difference between the world government of Soul Society and the world of One Piece, that is, the nobles of Soul Society, no matter how powerful they are, still have superficial justice.
Even if someone from the four major families makes a mistake, they must be punished to a certain extent. For example, Shihoin Yoruichi was wanted, the Shiba family was expelled from the Seireitei and exiled to Rukongai, and Tsunayashiro Toki Tan was imprisoned in Maggot's Nest for hundreds of years.
In the world government, the four major families are equivalent to the Celestial Dragons. How could anyone convict them of crimes? Under the leadership of such a world government, the navy has the nerve to claim justice. It is really ridiculous.
This is like saying that Momonosuke is a good person. Luffy and his team have saved many countries along the way, such as Princess Vivi's Kingdom of Alabasta and Rebecca's Kingdom of Decosrosa. Look at this The attitude of the two of them towards Luffy and his party is similar to the attitude of Kinemon from Wano towards Luffy and his party. If you ask for help from others, you should return the same attitude.
That is to say, Luffy and his team are kind-hearted, but he would have slapped that Kin'emon in the face. As for the situation in Wano Country, although it is under the rule of the Black Carbon Orochi, the people below are living a good life. It was very hard, but also under the rule of the Kozuki clan, the people of Wano Country did not fare much better.
To put it bluntly, the two sides were just competing against each other. Just like the so-called Kuri, it had been in chaos for many years. It was only after Kozuki Oden left that things changed, but Kozuki Oden only went to that one place. Didn't go anywhere else.
Looking at Wano Country now, ask how many people can still remember the Kozuki clan. Even Kozuki Oden's die-hards worship Kaido's daughter Yamato. Their attitude has changed a lot compared to before. He started to admire Esdeath a little bit, and I have to say that Kaido really doesn't know how to educate his daughter.
"Goodbye, Baymax."
Under Kuchiki Byakuya's stunned, surprised and puzzled eyes, Shen Fei grabbed Hanataro who was almost shrinking into a ball on one side, and jumped directly from the Confession Palace. The sudden change made Hanataro scream in fear. roared.
"Help."
But it was a pity that when Hanataro called for help, Rukia and Kuchiki Byakuya ignored him at all. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
"who is he?"
Under the Confession Palace, Yoruichi, who was carrying Ichigo, immediately asked after seeing the screaming Hanataro in Shen Fei's hand.
"I heard from Rukia that he was from the Fourth Division. Ichigo's injury needs to be treated, so I brought him here, but it looks like we are about to be surrounded."
There were powerful spiritual pressures coming from three directions. Needless to say, they were all captains of the Gotei Thirteenth Team. One of them had spiritual pressure that Shen Fei was very familiar with, and it was Zaihou.
With such a big commotion here, those captains who are trying to catch fish or who are seriously ill may not participate. However, there are so many captains in the Gotei 13, and not all of them are unreliable. For example, Hitsugaya Toushiro, and Komamura Zuo Zhen and others will definitely not let the travel disaster happen.
Judging from the current spiritual pressure situation in Seireitei, Uryū Ishida, Taitora Sadatori, and Orihime Inoue should have been arrested.
"What should I do? Fight him out?"
"It seems like this is the only way."
"Well, I know a safe way to avoid them."
Just when Shen Fei and Ye Yi were about to force their way out, Hanataro, who had regained his composure, suddenly spoke.
"Why help us? We are enemies of Jinglingting."
"You are here to save Miss Lucia. You are definitely not bad people."
Under the leadership of Hanataro, a group of four people came to the sewers of the Jing Ling Ting. The place was very complicated. Even if the God of Death sent people down to search, it would be difficult to find them without someone to lead the way.
"I am very familiar with this place because I am often asked to clean here for a living. Mr. Ichigo's injury seems to be very serious. Please be careful, Usimaru."
Shortly after entering the sewers, Hanataro saw that Ichigo was seriously injured, so he immediately took out his Zanpakutō and began to heal Ichigo's injuries.
Hanataro's Zanpakutō's initial attack ability is very powerful. It can absorb body damage and convert this damage into attacks. If it is fully loaded, one blow of it can defeat a Daxu Kilian. Yes, this upper limit of attack is also the upper limit of treatment, but this does not matter, after all, treatment can be repeated multiple times.
That is to say, Hanataro is too weak. If he is a strong man, he can do the same as Hana Retsu Uano, fight and breastfeed on the battlefield. He can not kill the enemy, but he can also depressed the enemy to death.
As far as Shen Fei is concerned, he has already thought of many ways to use this Zanpakutō.
"Your Zanpakutō abilities are pretty good."
The ability of Hanataro's Zanpakutō surprised Yoruichi. If possible, she would even hope that her Zanpakutō had such abilities.
Faced with Yoruichi's praise, Hanatarō scratched his head shyly. Because he was from the Fourth Division, he was annoying. There were many people who scolded him, but very few people who really praised him. The Fourth Division was only Uno Hana Retsu. The captain and vice-captain looked at him differently.
"Thank you. Just go away. It won't be a good thing for you to hang out with us."
After treating Ichigo's injury, Shen Fei let Hanataro go.
