However, the Zero Squad's mission was to protect the Spirit King, and Lin Que's strength, honed through sheer power in a direct confrontation, was terrifying.

Since Hyobu Ichibei couldn't come up with a good solution in a short time, he didn't deal with it.

But now it seems that it has to be dealt with.

"The first time can be understood as an experiment to confirm whether you have the ability to break through the barrier."

"If he does it a second time, then it's basically certain that he has designs on the Spirit King and is preparing to take action."

"It's normal."

Shutara Senjumaru, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes: "I heard that Lin Que knows Aizen."

"In that case, it's only a matter of time before we attack the Spirit King's Palace."

"The preparations have been made long ago. Now we just need to wait for them to come to us and walk into our trap."

"Oh my, as expected of Shutara, he's so reliable."

Kirinji Tenjiro, who had a straw stick dangling from his mouth, laughed.

"Then I'll wait for the enemy to come up, and then I'll smash their heads one by one..."

Pfft~!

A crisp, cracking sound suddenly rang out without warning.

To the astonishment of Hyobu Ichibei and the others, Kirinji Tenjiro, who had been spouting nonsense just a moment ago, suddenly had his head explode like a smashed watermelon, and his body fell to the ground.

"How can it be!"

Seeing this, Shutara Senjumaru seemed to have realized something, and his eyes widened as he looked at the two figures standing not far away.

"The defensive line set up around the Spirit King Palace was breached in an instant?!"

"Defense line?"

Lin Que looked at Aizen with some doubt: "Is there such a thing? I didn't see it."

“It seems so.”

Aizen replied cooperatively, "However, when you jumped up, Lin Que, you knocked them all down."

"Oh, so you meant those silk threads."

Lin Que's face showed a look of sudden realization: "Sorry, I didn't expect those things to be the defense line you mentioned. After all, they were really too inconspicuous."

Shutara Senjumaru: "..."

I really want to kill those two mute guys.

......

ECHO is off.

Chapter 132: The self-confidence of Ichibei, the commander of the army, killing his name but not his flesh ()

Although he desperately wanted to kill Lin Que and Aizen immediately, Shutara Senjumaru ultimately swallowed his anger.

It's not that she has a good temper, it's just that she can't help but be tolerant.

Kirinji Tenjiro's body is still lying there.

As the Eastern Divine General of the Spirit King Palace, Kirinji Tenjiro, also known as Swift Thunder Tenjiro, is the fastest moving person in the entire Spirit King Palace.

Before the opponent could even react, he was instantly killed, which shows how fast Lin Que's attack speed was.

With all her initial preparations thwarted, any rash action she takes will only lead her down the same path as Kirinji Tenjiro.

Shutara Senjumaru withdrew his gaze from Kirinji Tenjiro's body and silently retreated to Hyosube Ichibei's side.

"Do you want to take action?"

"No, there's no rush."

Seemingly unconcerned about Kirinji Tenjiro's death, Hyosube Ichibei's expression remained calm, and he even smiled.

Looking at Lin Que and Lan Ran not far away, he took two steps forward to close the distance and said with a smile.

"To be honest, the two of you arrived much faster than I expected."

"Well, I wasn't planning on coming this early either."

Lin Que shrugged: "It's just that Yhwach's side caused trouble first, and then Aizen just happened to come looking for me."

"Since everything's piled up at once, let's just deal with things at the Spirit King Palace first, then go back to our vacation~"

“Yhwabach... I’ve heard about him.”

Although it happened only recently, the well-informed Hyosube Ichibei already knew the whole story.

"To be honest, the fact that you ate him directly gave me quite a headache."

"Headache?"

Lin Que countered, "Is it because there's no backup option after a Spirit King dies?"

"...It seems you know more than I thought."

Hyosube Ichibei narrowed his eyes: "Lin Que, since you and Aizen are both standing here, I'll get straight to the point."

"The matter of the Spirit King is of utmost importance and cannot be changed casually."

"You two leave here now, and I can forgive your mistakes."

"I will not care about either the Lord of Soul Society or the King of Hueco Mundo."

"As long as you don't target the Spirit King, you can do whatever you want. I can even provide conveniences. How about it?"

"fault?"

Lin Que asked with some curiosity, "What do you mean?"

"Naturally, it was because they trespassed into the Spirit King's Palace."

Hyōshūbe Ichibei replied matter-of-factly, "This is a forbidden area of ​​the Three Realms. No one may approach without permission."

“By setting foot here without permission, you have essentially committed a capital offense.”

"Aizen, can you hear me?"

Lin Que raised his arm and nudged Aizen beside him twice: "This monk has such a serious expression, he seems to really think he can sentence me to death, huh?"

"Hyoshube Ichibei is the person who witnessed the development of the world and named everything in the original Soul Society."

Aizen calmly replied, "In his eyes, even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, who is known as the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years, is just a child."

"It's quite normal that he's a bit arrogant and doesn't respect you, Administrator Lin Que."

"So even after seeing me catch the Broken Blade, you still think you're capable of dealing with me."

Lin Que tapped his left hand with his right, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Oh no! Oh no! This is terrifying!"

"Your physical abilities are indeed very strong."

Faced with Lin Que's sarcastic tone, Hyosube Ichibei spoke calmly.

"I admit, even I can't confront you head-on."

"But sometimes, physical strength alone is not enough to determine everything."

"If I wanted to, I could make you as fragile as an ant and then easily crush you."

"Then why don't you give it a try?"

Lin Que extended a finger and beckoned twice: "If you can succeed, then I'll spare your life."

"If this is your decision..."

Hyosube Ichibei raised the calligraphy brush he was holding: "Then I'll see you off on your way!"

"Dye it black! Ichimonji!"

boom--!

As immense spiritual pressure emanated from Hyosube Ichibei, the front half of the brush in his hand transformed into a sharp blade.

"Administrator Lin Que, please be careful."

Seeing Hyosube Ichibei immediately release his Shikai, Aizen, who had done his research, gave him a warning.

"Anyone struck by this blade will instantly lose half of their power and their name."

"You seem to know quite a lot."

Hyosube Ichibei raised his hands and waved a single character at the two of them from a distance.

"But unfortunately, knowing more is useless; my abilities cannot be avoided simply by knowing them."

Black ink poured down from afar, transforming into waves that surged towards Lin Que and his companion.

Although it is only an extension of a single character's attack, these strokes of ink still have the effect of 'slaying the name but not the flesh'.

Even a tiny splash would trigger the terrifying effect Aizen had described.
