Just as the words were about to come out, Senzaemon suddenly stopped himself from saying them.
Gin Ichimaru glanced sideways: "What? I need to take the captain to the Fourth Division for treatment now. Ichimaru, please hold off the enemy for a bit."
"Okay, you can go without worry."
Seeing Ichimaru Gin's smiling face, Aizen Senzaemon was completely uneasy.
He had always believed that Gin Ichimaru was a traitor, and he was worried about the other man's integrity. What if this guy wanted to kill him to get revenge on Aizen? Wouldn't he die a very unjust death?
But he really didn't want to stay any longer. He had finally accepted a system mission, and he didn't want to end up with nothing. The key was to recover from his injuries and get back into the fight.
He wouldn't be careless anymore, and he didn't want to continue teaming up with Tosen Kaname. Just now, he neither used his Shikai nor really used his swordsmanship.
They lost so inexplicably; such a thing will never happen again.
As for having Gin Ichimaru kill Izuna Uchiha, he gave up on that idea. It wasn't that he was worried about Madara, who had awakened the Rinnegan; it was just that the situation was chaotic and he didn't want to provoke another powerful figure as an enemy.
Kaname Tosen, who was being helped up, did not refuse.
Those who remained couldn't offer much help, and this defeat left a deep impression on Tosen Kaname.
"Mr. Traveler, are you still not planning to leave?"
When Tosen asked the two to leave, and neither of them tried to stop them, Gin Ichimaru was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Uchiha Izuna gave him a deep look, but didn't immediately...
The plan to take action: "Let's go, our goal isn't to defeat these captains."
"Pitter patter"
Juvia, whose breathing was slightly weak, didn't seem to have any intention of fighting.
However, both groups of people left by coincidence to go to other battlefields to observe the fighting.
Besides Erik Gor, who was locked in a fierce battle with Kenpachi Zaraki, Hiyori Sarugaki and Lisa Yadomaru also encountered a formidable foe, Shunsui Kyoraku! Captain-level Hollowfication, achieved through Hollowfication, can only fool ordinary captains, but against the free-spirited Shunsui Kyoraku, even a two-on-one fight was merely two vice-captains attempting to resist a captain.
If it weren't for Kyoraku Shunsui's complicated feelings for Yadomaru Risa and a touch of guilt, the two of them might have already lost.
Furthermore, Kurotabo, who was under the pretext of assassinating a broken monk, also had the bad luck of encountering Soi Fon, the commander of the secret mobile unit.
Meanwhile, Inugami also encounters another dog-headed captain, Big Dog Village.
At first glance, the Soul Society still has a certain advantage in combat power, and even its captain-level combatants have not been fully deployed.
But "Who are you?"
With blood streaming from its chest and a blood-red handprint visible through it, and blood trickling from the corner of its mouth, the withered wood silver bell struggled to turn its head to see who it was.
A faint voice, like a heavy hammer, struck the heart of the... Sixth Division Captain.
"The second one."
"The second one!" Kuchiki Ginryu's eyes widened, her heart trembling. "Before me... cough cough, someone has already been harmed? Look, it seems those wandering monsters were just bait to attract attention."
He still couldn't understand how someone could sneak up behind him and assassinate him without making a sound.
Although he is not the strongest Shinigami captain, he is the second most senior captain after Yamamoto and Unohana, and his experience and reaction speed far surpass those of other captains.
"Ahem, who was before this old man?"
"Jushiro Ukitake".
The chilling voice seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
Kuchiki Ginryu's body trembled slightly: "Even Shisoro..."
Ukitake Jushiro was in poor health, but he and Kyoraku Shunsui were Yamamoto's most prized disciples, and their strength was unfathomable. Even he could not defeat them head-on unless he wore them down.
He struggled to see the assassin's face, but his rapidly depleting strength made even the simplest movement difficult.
Cough! He accidentally tore his internal organs, and bright red blood gushed from his mouth.
"grandfather!"
"Oh dear, it seems someone has discovered it."
With a sinister laugh, the mysterious figure swiftly withdrew his hand, then vanished in a wisp of ghostly light.
When Kuchiki Byakuya rushed to the scene, there was no one there except for Kuchiki Ginrin lying in a pool of blood.
Chapter 524 Where the heart leads, the sword points; draw the sword! 1/2
"grandfather!"
"You murderer, stay here!"
With a whoosh, Byakuya appeared before Kuchiki Ginrin, his face filled with anger and panic, his usual composure shattered in an instant.
Out of the corner of my eye, I only caught a glimpse of a black figure before it disappeared without me even having a chance to see its exact shape and appearance.
An enraged Byakuya Kuchiki gritted his teeth and gave up the chase: "Grandpa, I'll take you to the Fourth Division now."
Wait, wait a minute.
The body of the rotten wood silver bell, which was lifted up from the pool of blood, had a horrifying bloody hole in it, and its eyes were glazed over, as if it could faint at any moment.
This scene intensified Byakuya Kuchiki's hatred for the culprit.
The aged Kuchiki Ginryu grasped Byakuya's shihachi robes with her frail hands, her voice weak and feeble: "Byakuya, quick, quick, notify the Captain-Commander! Someone is trying to assassinate the Captain! Ukitake has been poisoned!"
Before she could finish speaking, the severely injured Kuchiki Ginryu could no longer hold on.
Kuchiki Byakuya carried his grandfather on his back with a gloomy expression, but in his mind he was thinking about the words that Kuchiki Ginrin had not finished saying.
Whether it's poisoning or not, the hand doesn't matter.
In that case, Captain Ukitake is probably in grave danger.
With this in mind, Byakuya Kuchiki acted immediately without hesitation.
Use Shunpo to travel to the Fourth Division.
This wasn't just about personal feelings; more importantly, before reporting intelligence, it was about protecting Retsu Unohana, the captain of the medical squad. Kuchiki Byakuya, who only knew Unohana as someone of considerable seniority, was completely unimpressed by this… "senior."
Their true strength is still unclear.
"Looks like we've succeeded."
"Hi, Izuna-sama."
"Stop the assassination attempt and give the Soul Society a chance to react."
Both Hirako Shinji and Nura Rihan showed apprehension as they watched Uchiha Izuna conversing with the black-clad figure.
This guy, whose arm was stained red with blood, had managed to succeed twice with ease.
The two veteran captains were instantly killed without any chance to react! Even though it was a sneak attack, who can guarantee that they will always be on guard? If they were enemies, they couldn't guarantee that they would be unharmed either.
Hirako paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure Ukitake and Captain Kuchiki are not in mortal danger?"
"Of course, I deliberately avoided attacking vital points as instructed by Lord Izuna."
Was it intentional?
Shaking his head, Hirako continued, "Remember, the premise of our cooperation is that we don't actually cause serious damage to Soul Society. If it weren't for confirming whether the Soul King's power is being controlled by a private individual, the Visoreds wouldn't be cooperating with you."
And don't blame me for not warning you, regardless of whether the Spirit King's power is controlled by others, if you cannot be sent back to your respective worlds, you are absolutely not allowed to harm the Spirit King, otherwise the Three Realms will be doomed.”
"I see."
"Kiritani Kazuto said calmly."
"I'm not that bored."
Uchiha Izuna looked on with disdain.
Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Nura smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Don't be so tense. At least we're all on the same page now. I believe that legendary ninja wouldn't lie to us. Someone really is plotting to seize the Soul King, the cornerstone of the Three Realms."
"So, I still don't understand why your Nura Clan would join this operation, even though it means our Visored doesn't need to deploy its entire force."
Fengqiao Lou Shilang looked doubtful.
"Haha, it's just a simple matter. Let's heal Aotabo and the others first."
Rihan Nura's eyes flickered, and under the questioning gazes of the crowd, he yawned and moved on from the topic.
Aizen and Gin Ichimaru shifted their attention back to other battlefields.
"Captain Aizen, don't blame me for not making a move first."
"It's alright, I have complete faith in Yin's abilities."
"Oh, that's incredibly kind of you."
"We can't waste any more time; it would be very suspicious if we didn't show up."
"That's true."
Despite saying this, neither of them intended to take any action.
Because the enemies that have already appeared can be subdued without the two of them even needing to take action. Even Erigor, who is on par with Kenpachi Zaraki, is gradually showing signs of weakness. The Ryoka are very strong, but the Gotei 13 are even stronger.
However, Gin Ichimaru also knew that the enemy was definitely not just this small group. The Ryuka, which had gathered forces from various sides, was no idiot, especially since Aizen's people were among them, making it impossible for them to fight against overwhelming odds.
Thinking this, Gin Ichimaru's gaze towards Aizen became somewhat strange.
He still has some doubts about how Aizen managed to get his men to infiltrate the local area. Could Urahara Kisuke, whom Aizen valued so highly, really be so incompetent?
Regardless of
What he thought was that one battle had already come to an end.
After a long day of fighting, aside from their initial surprise at meeting, Inugami and Murasaki Jin felt a deep mutual respect for each other, especially in their swordsmanship.
In their shared style, they both sensed a kind of kinship with each other, even though Murasa Jin's own race was werewolf.
"You are a very good opponent, so I will repay you with all my might."
"D. Release the Black Rope, Heavenly Punishment King!"
Boom! Under the pink spiritual pressure, a lifelike, enormous black warrior appeared behind Murasaki Jin.
Compared to the towering figure of the King of Light, the dog god standing before him appeared remarkably small.
Staring at such a massive body, even the usually calm and collected Inugami couldn't help but show shock: "Is this your strongest trump card? It truly broadens our horizons. The Shinigami's Deliverance is truly wondrous and enviable."
"Inugami, I will not show any mercy!"
Seeing the Inugami whose appearance was strangely similar to his own, Murasaki couldn't help but shout.
Inugami shook his head, gripping his long sword tightly with both hands, ready for battle: "Draw your sword!"
"cut!"
Murasaka swung his sword from a distance, and Myōō's movements were synchronized, the massive longsword falling straight down.
Despite feeling the chilly airflow, a smile crept onto Inugami's dog-like head.
He hasn't wasted these years; his strength has increased significantly, and he's even capable of fighting against the Grim Reaper's captain.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have any particularly powerful killing moves; his specialty, Heart Sword, is a type of swordsmanship.
It's not a trump card, but a state of mind; such close-combat techniques are meaningless against a Mingwang of this size.
But he still wanted to try.
"Where the heart leads, the sword points; draw your sword!"
"This is my realization!"
The dog god, carrying the small house on his back, narrowed his eyes and charged forward like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, his arms raising a surge of demonic power that appeared on his sword as he slashed out.
Tear! A faint blue glow flew out into the air.
Boom! The heavy impact shook the ground.
With a soft "plop," a gash suddenly appeared on the shoulder of the Black King, and a bloody gash also spurted from the shoulder of the village, who was still swinging his sword.
"The captain is injured."
"team leader!"
"Could it be that the captain has lost?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you idiot!"
No matter how much the Shinigami of the Seventh Division argued and quarreled, they could not change the outcome of the battle.
