Wang Xun was surprised to see Kyoraku Shunsui looking so relaxed, as if he were discussing where to eat that night.

He finally realized that Kyoraku Shunsui's appearance was definitely intentional.

As for the reason, the first thing Wang Xun could think of was Tsunayoshi Tokinada, who had a conflict with Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku had been keeping a close eye on the restless behavior of this dangerous individual.

Furthermore, there are the seven threads.

If it were due to Nanao, then Kyoraku Shunsui might have noticed him much earlier.

Wang Xun recalled the time when he wanted to join the Eighth Division, but was sternly rejected by Kyoraku Shunsui.

Well, so that's where it all started...

Wang Xun looked at Kyoraku Shunsui, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and maintained a proper level of respect on his face.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Captain Kyōraku."

"Don't be so reserved, relax, just treat it as a night stroll."

Kyoraku smiled, adjusted his straw hat, and indeed took a leisurely step, leading the way towards the White Path Gate.

Wang Xun watched Kyoraku's retreating figure and then touched the Zanpakuto at his waist.

This seems to imply tacit approval for him to carry his Zanpakuto.

It's really hard to guess what's on Old Deng's mind.

Jing Le's steps seemed casual, but he always maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Wang Xun, neither walking side by side nor leaving Wang Xun too far behind.

The two walked one after the other through the quiet streets of Seireitei, passed through the White Gate, and entered the West Rukongai area.

Just as he said, Kyoraku seemed to be there for a leisurely stroll, occasionally commenting on the scenery along the road or the stalls that were open at night.

Unlike Kyoraku's relaxed demeanor, Wang Xun remained tense, constantly aware of his surroundings.

Just as they were passing through a relatively quiet neighborhood with somewhat complicated terrain, something unexpected happened.

Within the shadows of the house, several bursts of spiritual pressure suddenly erupted, and the attack came without warning!

From the shadows to the side, a fierce black figure shot out like an arrow, its blade aimed straight at Wang Xun's face.

At the same time, from the broken window of the abandoned house behind him, a second, long-awaited attack quietly arrived, its target clearly Wang Xun's back.

The two worked together seamlessly, almost completely shutting down Wang Xun's escape route; they were clearly experienced assassins.

At the critical moment, Wang Xun suddenly leaned to the side, dodging the knife aimed at his face; the cold blade almost sliced ​​through his forehead.

At the same time, he turned sideways and drew his Zanpakuto from his waist to block the sneak attack from behind.

The next instant, he swung his knife, forcing the two attackers back.

At this moment, Wang Xun glanced at Kyoraku Shunsui not far away, who was also being attacked.

However, Kyoraku's response was much easier.

He drew the short sword from his waist and casually swung it, easily deflecting all the incoming attacks.

"So they're going to attack me too? How terrifying, assassins."

"Wang Xun, I can't hold on much longer! Can you help me?"

Looking at Kyoraku Shunsui, who seemed to be playing around, Wang Xun's expression was slightly helpless.

At this moment, the two assassins who were fighting fiercely with Kyoraku Shunsui shouted to their companion.

"Hey, we'll hold this guy back, you guys hurry up and take care of that kid!"

Kyoraku scratched his cheek upon hearing this.

"Oh right, you guys are really too much trouble for me."

Wang Xun stopped paying attention to Kyoraku Shunsui; his expression clearly indicated that he wanted Wang Xun to handle the situation himself.

That suits me just fine.

Blades clashed, and Wang Xun once again withstood the attack from the front.

"Not bad, kid."

With his face covered by a black cloth, the burly man grinned maliciously, his eyes gleaming with an even stronger bloodthirsty light.

The attacker from behind was a tall, thin man with sinister eyes. His cold gaze was fixed on Wang Xun, looking for an opportunity.

The next moment, the two charged forward again.

It was still an extremely skillful combination attack, with one person launching a strong attack as bait, followed closely by the other's killing move.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, the two may not be as good as Wang Xun, but their skillful teamwork and combat experience still put some pressure on Wang Xun.

Facing the enemy's oncoming attack, Wang Xun forced them back with a fierce slash, using the momentum to change his body and add another wound to the enemy behind him.

The next moment, Wang Xun lunged forward, charging towards the burly man. Blades clashed, sparks flying.

Wang Xun's fierce offensive instantly overwhelmed him, but defeating him quickly was no easy task.

"Tsk!"

The attackers clearly did not expect Wang Xun to be so difficult to deal with. With the support of their companions, they managed to create some distance and catch their breath for a moment.

However, when he looked again, he found that another companion was struggling to withstand Wang Xun's attacks and had several wounds on his body.

The strong man, with his physical advantage, was able to barely hold on.

The tall, thin man struggled to stay upright, constantly sustaining new wounds that stained his clothes with blood, and looked to be in grave danger.

It was as if, through constant exchanges, Wang Xun had figured out their tactics and could even predict their initial attack moves.

Instead of a swift victory, they were gradually suppressed by Wang Xun.

This level of strength doesn't seem like that of a student from the Spirit Arts Academy as described in the mission. Is the information from above correct?!

"Hey, we can't hold back anymore!"

The tall, thin man shouted at the burly man, "If this continues, let alone killing this kid, even getting away will be a problem."

He took another step and instantly covered several meters in the distance, arriving at his companion's side, panting heavily, his eyes coldly fixed on Wang Xun.

"Tear him apart, Mad Fang!"

The burly man gritted his teeth and was the first to unleash his Zanpakuto. The next moment, jagged serrations rose from the back of his Zanpakuto.

"Infiltrate, stinger."

The Zanpakuto in the tall, thin man's hand transformed into a slender rapier, its tip gleaming with a sinister green.

The two men clearly had no intention of giving Wang Xun any chance to catch his breath and charged forward again.

The flashing blades and shadowy swords instantly engulfed Wang Xun.

Their skills were solid, their swordsmanship ruthless and experienced, and their teamwork was excellent. After unleashing their Zanpakuto, they were finally able to suppress Wang Xun.

Although Kyoraku Shunsui was still fighting the two men who attacked him in the distance, his eyes under his straw hat looked more serious as he stared intently in the direction of Wang Xun.

Since they are capable of Shikai (initial release), they are no longer ordinary assassins.

If Wang Xun is unable to withstand the attack, he will step in to help.

Then he glanced into the shadows.

Kyoraku could vaguely sense that there were other people in the shadows.

The Covert Combat Team?

Seeing that I was here, they didn't show themselves; that's really in line with their style...

After exchanging blows with the two for more than ten rounds, Wang Xun also suffered several wounds. The pressure from the two after their initial release increased significantly.

Especially the Zanpakuto called Poison Sting; Wang Xun dared not let the tip of its blade touch him just by hearing its name.

Taking advantage of the slight stiffness caused by the bald, burly man's powerful slash, Wang Xun unleashed his spiritual power and used a quick step to retreat, creating some distance between himself and the two.

"Oh? Are you going to run?"

The bald, burly man grinned maliciously.

"run?"

Wang Xun stopped and took a deep breath.

The Zanpakuto in his hand emitted a clear, melodious hum, its blade trembling slightly, as if it were unable to contain itself in anticipation of an upcoming surprise.

Both attackers simultaneously sensed something was amiss.

"He's playing tricks! Kill him!"

The tall, thin man shouted sharply and thrust his sword forward first. The tip of the sword emitted an eerie, ghostly green light, clearly indicating that he was using the power of his Zanpakuto.

"Chains are boundless, and all things are still."

Wang Xun's voice rang out clearly, as if carrying a peculiar rhythm, overpowering the night wind.

"Jialianhua".

A burst of light erupted, and the Zanpakuto changed with the release command.

The hollowed-out lotus-shaped hilt was revealed, and a silver chain snaked out from the end of the hilt, coiling around Wang Xun's wrist like a serpent, with starlight flowing inside the chain.

An even more powerful spiritual pressure suddenly spread out.

The bald, burly man and the tall, thin man were both taken aback, and their attacks faltered.

"Shikai?!"
