Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

The guards stood frozen in place, bewildered and at a loss, not knowing what to do next.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, and there was no one in front of them, yet the footsteps of death were gradually approaching.

Chapter 220 Time

Sizzle!

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound, a curtain of icy water, like a surging, giant wave, burst through the tightly closed door at an astonishing speed, sweeping towards this place in an overwhelming manner.

A mysterious and powerful force is emanating from an unknown, flowing Zanpakuto ability.

The power contained within this stream was terrifying; its fierce momentum seemed poised to tear everything apart and devour it.

Clearly, the extremely high temperature released by Ryujin Jakka made the newcomer feel threatened.

Looking around, the entire corridor was deserted, with only ashes drifting in the wind and thick fog permeating the surroundings.

The surging, rushing water, like a wild horse, galloped straight ahead...

Faced with such a fierce attack, Aozaki Mayuki simply smiled and didn't care at all.

He wielded the long sword with ease, and the flames instantly evaporated all the water in front of him.

At this moment, he was filled with confidence and composure, as if the enemies before him were nothing more than a group of vulnerable ants.

He walked with relaxed and casual steps, one step at a time, toward the end of the corridor.

The closer they got to the end, the thicker the fog became, and the cold, gleaming light of the swords emanating from it grew ever more dazzling.

Just then, a "tap-tap" sound came from the door, as if someone was leisurely strolling inside.

However, not long afterward, the footsteps that had been clearly audible suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang," the dilapidated wooden door was kicked open, and a large amount of thick white steam gushed out.

Amidst the misty spray, a young man dressed in magnificent aristocratic attire slowly emerged.

His appearance made the whole situation even more confusing.

Under the crimson firelight, a familiar yet unfamiliar face silently emerged, welcoming Aozaki Mayuki with a radiant smile.

Upon their first meeting, Aozaki Mayuki recognized him.

Tsunayoshi Tokina couldn't see his face, but he had an unusually familiar feeling in his heart.

More than thirty years ago, he saw a portrait of a young man whose face he would never forget.

He slowly walked into the corridor, heading towards Aozaki Mayuki, his smile sinister.

"I can't sense any spiritual pressure because of the cloak you're wearing, right?"

“This cloak is really useful.” Aozaki Mayuki took off the hood, revealing a face that could confuse anyone with just one glance.

The killing must continue; this man must die. Their feud has a long history.

“You’re too late. The elderly passed away peacefully,” Aozaki Mayuki said calmly. “It’s just that the process may have been somewhat painful.”

"Haha! Aozaki Mayuki, it really is you! Hahahaha!!" Tsunayoshi Tokinada laughed heartily.

"Today is truly a double celebration. The old guys in the master's family are about to die, and I don't need to lift a finger to deal with them myself."

Aozaki Mayuki looked at the madman without saying a word.

In his perception, the spiritual pressure in the tallest pavilion was rapidly decreasing, and the one who would make the move was, of course, Kuchiki Hibiki.

The operation there went smoothly. Aozaki Mayuki knew exactly what had happened. Aizen had meticulously planned the operation, and Kuchiki Kyouga was the executor.

As for Aozaki Mayuki, he came to settle his personal score and, incidentally, to conduct some preliminary tests for the upcoming Hollowfication experiment.

"Should we continue?"

Suddenly, Tsunayoshi Tokinada stretched out his Zanpakuto, pointing it at Aozaki Mayuki, and said with a cold smile:

"Captain Shingetsu, actually I also hate those old guys. To be honest, we shouldn't be considered enemies."

“But I want to kill you.” Aozaki Mayuki gave a disdainful smile and said calmly, “So you will definitely die here today.”

"So there's no room for negotiation?" Tsunayoshi Tokinada's gaze turned icy as he said coldly, "Then you might as well die!"

The dazzling mirror, shimmering with fiery light, pierced through the thick fog time and again, leaving transparent blade marks in the air. The crisscrossing blades resembled an impenetrable net.

One after another, snow-white blades met the attack, colliding with the blade and sparking countless sparks, tearing countless lines of blood from Tsunayoshi Tokinada's body.

When the blade of "All Things in the World" is stained with red blood, a layer of clear water seeps out from the blade, washing away the crimson.

"How can you be so strong?"

With blood-stained lips, Tsuna gritted his teeth and said in disbelief.

He was confident that he was no less capable than his two classmates who were veteran captains, but at this moment he was completely suppressed by a junior.

The swords clashed once more, and his knees bent slightly.

“You’ve been locked up for too long.” Aozaki Mayuki paused slightly and looked at him mockingly. “A frog in a well has no idea how the world has changed.”

Aozaki Mayuki knocked Tsunayoshi Tokina back with a single slash, also cutting a gash on his face. The sword drooped slightly, and drops of red blood slowly dripped down.

"hateful."

More flashes of swords followed, and Tsunayoshi Tokina had no time to try to confuse his opponent with words.

Just like when his wife was still alive, she was already a mature adult, while he was still that child who never grew up.

I don't want to listen to her teachings, and her gentle words only make me angry.

He is still that child, but the words of instruction have turned into swords and shadows against whom he is powerless to resist.

This feeling of powerlessness made him extremely angry.

Damn it, why don't you just die?

I am one of the five noble families. Why don't you just obediently die under my blade?

At this moment, the council hall of the main family had completely changed its layout. The elders and guards in the council hall were lying haphazardly on the ground, some of them wearing white masks, their bodies beginning to collapse.

Kuchiki Hibiki had already lost interest in the corpses, and the Minotaur Great Hollow next to him, who was difficult to communicate with, made him want to draw his sword and kill him.

"Ah!!" Minotaur Vastod rushed to the River of Rotting Wood, shouting incessantly despite not being able to speak.

"Enough! I know those guys are all dead. Shut up!" Kuchiki Hibiki shouted, raising his bloodied left hand and tapping it on the head.

Kuchiki Hibiki felt a surge of irritation. He truly hadn't expected that the Tsunayoshiro family would have such a formidable opponent. The battle was even more brutal than he had imagined, and he himself had been injured.

He glanced at the minotaur Vastod beside him. Vastod had fared worse than him in the previous battle, having lost an arm and a leg, but had fully recovered thanks to his super-fast regeneration ability.

"Roar." The minotaur Vastod pointed at the corpse on the ground and growled.

"I don't understand what you're saying, can you just shut up?" Kuchiki Hibiki frowned. "You want to keep killing?"

"No!" He took down the clock from the wall and wiped the bloodstains off it with his clothes. "Look at the time carefully, we need to retreat!"

The bull-headed Vastod tilted his head and looked at him, then nodded.

This guy can actually read a clock!

Chapter 221 Existence

“Ge Kuang, listen to me carefully. It’s not even night yet, and it’s raining heavily. I can’t see any stars at all.”

When Tsunayoshi Tokinashi collapsed in the pit, he seemed to see his wife, who had been dead for many years, in his delirium.

He was buried under boulders and wooden walls; at this moment, only these impregnable barriers could protect him. He pressed his ear to the ground, and only the echoing sound of his heartbeat told him: "You are still alive."

One punch, just one punch.

That terrifying man slammed himself from the pinnacle of power in the Tsunayoshiro branch family to the very bottom.

"He's really laughing happily. I'm sorry I'm still alive... That old man Yamamoto-sensei passed the One Bone to him. I really doubt whether he can use it with such power himself."

Tsunayoshi Tokina was panting, not uttering a sound, yet he was talking to someone he didn't want to show weakness to.

"It hurts so much! My whole body aches! Is this what death feels like? Was this what you felt like back then? How pathetic! How many years have passed since then? Fifty years? Sixty years? Or a hundred years?"

Tsuna blinked, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"I can't remember, but this feeling is really not bad. Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense, Ge Kuang!"

"Save me? I don't need your help!"

"At a time like this, can you please stop making me angry?!"

"I don't need you to dispel the clouds for me. I've always stood on the clouds; I am the clouds myself!"

“I’m not a child who needs your guidance, and you’re not my teacher. I went to school at the Central Spiritual Arts Academy, and back then the dean was that old guy Yamamoto, who was also my teacher.”

"That old man Yamamoto was my teacher, but even he couldn't teach me well, so don't overestimate yourself..."

He closed his eyes, as if that way he could no longer see those gentle eyes.

It was pitch black beneath the ruins, and the dark clouds poured down rain like madmen. The wooden walls and stones still couldn't bury him completely, and the rain poured down on his face through the gaps.

Tsunayoshi Tokinada never imagined this place would become his grave, nor did he expect that death would come on this day.

Today was supposed to be a good day, after which he would be able to take the position of head of the family, but now the Tsunayo family is probably going to disappear completely, and so is he.

This makeshift fortress offered him no sense of security whatsoever, and he had no doubt that the man who had so wantonly ravaged him could destroy the entire Soul Society.

Now, Tsunayoshi Tokinada just wants Aozaki Maki to destroy this world along with him, because he doesn't like this world anyway.

From the moment he stepped into that tall building, Tsunayoshi Tokina felt something was wrong, coupled with that strange Zanpakuto, and then he learned that the man had killed the elders of the Tsunayoshi branch family.

That man came specifically for the Tsunayo family, and he was incredibly strong; I was probably no match for him.

Running away is the best option at this point, but he doesn't want to run.

He had known all along that the woman would take him away, and today might be the time. If not, he could enjoy himself for a while longer.

Fortunately, he has already done all the evil he should have done over the years, and he has not lost a bit of the pleasure he deserves.

If he really died today, it wouldn't be a loss.

I'll probably go to hell when I die, so I won't have to spend every day in the same world as this woman, which is a good thing.

To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for that woman.
