Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

But at that moment, an anxious voice suddenly resounded deep within his heart:

"Master, his Zanpakuto is far too powerful. Please be extremely careful!"

The speaker was Muramasa.

In fact, Muramasa was already seriously injured at this time. Not to mention re-coalescing into a physical form, if it weren't for the fact that its existence was the sword spirit of the Grim Reaper, it would be unknown whether it could continue to survive.

Kuchiki Hibiki nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented firm confidence.

All his worries and anxieties vanished as if they had disappeared into thin air. At this moment, he felt an unparalleled power surge into his heart, as if he had been reborn!

In an instant, a rich, pale purple light emanated from his body, surging like a torrent of spiritual energy, even distorting and deforming the surrounding air.

A powerful spiritual pressure rippled outwards from the Zanpakuto, causing the snowflakes that were falling to the ground to fly back due to the impact of the pressure.

call out! !

With a sharp, piercing sound, Kuchiki Kyoga swung his Zanpakuto with all his might, unleashing a dazzling sword pressure.

He knew he absolutely could not let Aozaki Mayuki have a chance to get close to him, so he made this decision without hesitation!

The giant, pale purple sword beam ripped through the sky like lightning, carrying an incomparably fierce aura as it swept past, instantly tearing the void apart.

Wherever it passed, the air was forcibly cleaved open, and the ice and snow were shattered into countless ice shards that flew everywhere.

Such terrifying power seemed to make the entire world tremble.

Faced with the fierce attack, Aozaki Mayuki's eyes turned cold, and then she swung her sword without hesitation!

His swiftly unleashed "Crescent Moon Sky Slash" remained condensed on the sword, its surface covered with a layer of dazzling and blazing flames.

With the help of the strong wind, this strike was as fast as lightning and unstoppable!

Wow!

Amidst the piercing whistling sound of wind being cut,

In an instant, Aozaki Mayuki's Myriad Manifestations slashed down like lightning onto Kuchiki Hibiki's sword pressure.

"It's blocked!" Kuchiki Hibiki was overjoyed, and his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

However, at that moment, a crisp "click" sound rang out.

Before his smile could fully bloom, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, a chilling shattering sound came from the pressure of his sword.

Immediately afterwards, the originally imposing purple sword light shattered like fragile porcelain.

The cracks spread rapidly, starting from the point where the strikes met, and in the blink of an eye, they spread throughout the entire sword beam.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiu Mu Xiang He made a quick decision, his figure flashed and he rushed backward.

Almost the instant he dodged, Aozaki Mayuki's Crescent Moon Slash erupted with overwhelming force, completely shattering his sword pressure.

The spiritual pressure slash, burning with raging flames, galloped out like a wild horse through the broken crack, leaving a bottomless, enormous ravine in the ground.

"Cough cough..."

With a violent cough, Kuki Hibiki spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.

The man who had narrowly escaped death looked up in astonishment, his gaze fixed on Aozaki Mayuki, muttering unconsciously:

"This...how is this possible?!"

It was unbelievable that the sword pressure he had unleashed with all his might was so easily defeated.

In an instant, Kuchiki Hibiki began to doubt whether everything happening before his eyes was just an illusion.

He had merely fallen into a strange illusion created by the new Third Division Captain who came to see him in the prison.

However, Aozaki Mayuki remained calm and composed in mid-air, as if the thrilling confrontation had had no effect on him whatsoever.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at the distant horizon, thinking to himself, "I need to finish this battle quickly."

Although the place was relatively secluded, surrounded by dense forests, the commotion caused by their fierce battle was so great that it had already attracted the attention of some people.

Aozaki Mayuki's extraordinary spiritual senses detected that several spiritual pressures were rapidly approaching this direction.

Seeing this, Kuchiki Hibiki, coughing up blood, was somewhat annoyed: "Satsuki, where are you looking? I haven't lost yet!"

What does this mean? Is it because you're getting distracted before the battle is even over, or do you look down on yourself?

Soon, another purple sword pressure shot out from Muramasa's sword.

call out! !

The sword pressure shot towards them, its size significantly reduced compared to before. Aozaki Mayuki casually swung his sword and shattered it.

Aozaki Mayuki understood that Kuchiki Kyouga was already at his limit, and now his only stubborn thing was probably his mouth!

Sure enough, the next second, Kuchiki Hibiki suddenly staggered, then fell backward onto the ground, losing consciousness.

Chapter 159 Inside Agent

In a dark and deep cave not far from the battlefield.

"Uh……"

Not long after, Kuchiki Hibiki gradually awoke from his coma. He shook his head with difficulty, trying to dispel the dizziness in his mind.

When he opened his eyes and looked around, he was startled.

He struggled to sit up, but his body felt as if it were being crushed by a thousand-pound weight, and he couldn't move at all.

Kuchiki Hibiki was astonished; he had never felt so weak and powerless.

Just then, a deep voice came from deep within the cave: "Your current physical condition is not suitable for any strenuous activity."

The sudden sound startled Kuchiki Hibiki, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw Aozaki Mayuki leaning leisurely against the rock wall with his arms crossed.

Upon seeing Aozaki Mayuki, Kuchiki Kyouga calmed down and said with a forlorn expression:

"Since I have been defeated by you, you may kill me or torture me as you please."

"Anyway, I have committed such a serious crime that I will surely die once I fall into the hands of the Tsunayo family. Even my father-in-law probably can't save me."

Aozaki Mayuki frowned slightly and replied calmly:

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already. Why would I go through all the trouble of bringing you here?"

After a pause, Aozaki Mayuki continued:

"Besides, who says you're guilty? Which of the wise men and judges in the Central 46 knows what you did?"

"To be honest, everything you've done is nothing more than eliminating potential criminals in advance for Soul Society, preventing those with ulterior motives from causing even greater damage to Soul Society."

"From this perspective, you have done a great service. Lord Spirit King might be pleased!"

After all, it was the Tsunayo family who started the dismemberment of the Soul King. Who could know whether the Soul King possessed emotions like joy and hatred?

Of course, perhaps he was just a god devoid of any humanity.

"This one……"

Kuchiki Hibiki hesitated slightly, as if pondering whether what Aozaki Mayuki said was true and reliable.

"You don't need to lie to me. How could Lord Spirit King be happy about such a grave crime I have committed?"

"What if the Spirit King actually harbors deep hatred for them?"

Aozaki Mayuki smiled slightly and responded softly.

"After all, they tortured the Spirit King to such a terrible state, and he will have to endure eternal suffering as the cornerstone of the Three Realms."

"What?!" Kuchiki Hibiki was stunned upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief.

"As the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family, are you also completely unaware of this matter?"

After casually asking a question, Aozaki Mayuki continued:

"If that's the case, then let me tell you the truth hidden behind the Spirit King and the five noble families..."

Next, Aozaki Mayuki recounted the truth about the Soul King.

Kuchiki Hibiki was stunned: "Lord Spirit King, you have such a relationship with the five noble families?!"

He originally thought that the five noble families became the highest-ranking nobles in the Seireitei because of their contributions in creating the world with King Rei, but it turns out that they relied on betrayal!

This was something that shattered his worldview, especially for a commoner son-in-law like Kuchiki.

He was taught from a young age to protect the king and his five dukes, but it turned out that the five dukes were the ones who led the attack on the king!

Thinking that his beloved father-in-law might also know the truth, Kuchiki Hibiki lowered his head and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Aozaki Mayuki didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you know what that man wants to do?"

"That man... do you know him?" Kuchiki Hibiki was startled, recalling the newly promoted captain of the Third Division who had come to the prison to find him.

"He also knew the whole truth and could not accept the abnormal rule of the Seireitei by one king and five dukes."

Aozaki Mayuki spoke to herself,

"You should know very well that you've been used by that man. This time your blade is aimed at the Tsunayo family, next time it might be the Kuchiki family."

Kuchiki Hibiki asked fiercely, "Is that man trying to use me against the Kuchiki family?"

Aozaki Mayuki said, "He's not targeting the Kuchiki family; his enemies are all the nobles."

Kuchiki Hibiki said firmly:

"That won't do either. Lord Yinling has been kind to me, and he's also my father-in-law. Besides, no matter what the Kuchiki family did a million years ago, there is no one in this generation of the Kuchiki family who deserves to die!"

He recalled the days he spent with his clansmen, and even after learning the truth about the king and the five dukes, he did not feel that the Kuchiki family was unworthy of its noble reputation.

It wasn't just the bond of family that made him choose to protect his family.

Everyone knows that they are a group of guys who always maintain their noble pride, but are absolutely unambiguous in protecting Seireitei. They are completely different from the scum of the Tsuna-Yashiro family!

Aozaki Mayuki paused for a moment upon hearing this.

He had thought that Kuchiki Hibiki was a man solely supported by Kuchiki Ginryo, and at most had a wife in his heart. He never expected that his sense of identification with the Kuchiki family would be so strong.

Now it seems the Kuchiki family really is a lovely bunch.

"What would you do if he tried to hurt your family?"
