In Soul Society, love and bond begin

"There are only four of us here, that's enough to go around."

The concubine of Shanding Temple continued chewing the meat jerky with an expressionless face: "Not enough."

"Fujimiya Makoto is heading west very quickly."

"There should be about three over there."

"Eh?!" Saito's single eye suddenly widened, with an expression of disbelief, "That idiot! How could he be so greedy?!"

"in addition."

Youpin of Zending Temple was too lazy to pay attention to her. She turned her head to look at the end of the road on the other side and slowly stuffed the last piece of jerky into her mouth.

He rolled up the oil-paper bag with his big hands and stuffed it into his pocket.

His expression gradually became extremely solemn.

"We have one here too."

The moment he finished speaking.

Like a man covered in darkness, he walked calmly in his leather boots towards the first squadron's barracks.

Almost at the moment when the figure appeared.

Saito suddenly grinned like a tiger or wolf finding its prey. He slowly opened his lips, revealing his white teeth, and growled:

“—Yhwach!!”

......

Chapter 158: Blood Sacrifice

There are always some people in this world who, just by appearing there and taking a step forward, are enough to explain what "oppression" is.

Whether it was the clanging of the captains' unsheathed swords, the roars directed at him, or the gazes boiling with murderous intent...

None of this could stop him.

Yhwach held the Quincy Cross Blade in his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on the center of the First Squadron's barracks behind the four people. No one knew what he was looking at.

It was not until he heard Saito Funabushi calling his name that he finally turned his attention back to the people in front of him.

"Are you the only ones?"

"Yamamoto Shigekuni is truly ruthless."

Even as he spoke, he continued to walk forward, as if these powerful men standing at the pinnacle of Soul Society in front of him were just bugs that could be easily dealt with.

"I told you to—"

Accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of the wind, the sharp blade light penetrated a distance of more than ten meters and fell directly in front of Yhwach.

The dark purple twin ponytails were pulled into two straight lines in the whistling wind. Only the single eye under the hair had a gaze as sharp as a knife, and the voice was crisp.

"Stop!"

The blade swung down.

A gully suddenly appeared within a straight line distance of dozens of meters, and the blazing white waves echoed towards both sides. The sound in people's ears was quiet at first, and then suddenly exploded with a loud roar.

So, Yhwach stopped in front of the ravine.

Saito Furusai slowly stood up, lifted the blade from the sunken gully in the ground, casually shook off the broken soil, and carried it on his shoulder with one hand.

The girl had a pretty face, but she spoke like a bandit:

"From now on, this road is blocked."

"asshole."

Yhwach stood quietly there, looking down at her from above.

Then, his gaze slowly turned to the other people who had surrounded him at some point in time.

"A mere ant."

"Do you have to be stepped on by someone to be considered alive?"

"What a senseless death."

“——That’s not necessarily true.”

The executioner, Naiwu Gang, had a disdainful smile on his sickly wrinkled face: "Even if it's a good death, it's worse than living a miserable life."

"Besides, things have come to this point...you don't still think that we will fight you one-on-one, do you?"

Yhwach turned his gaze towards him and said calmly:

"Just ants"

"One or two, what difference does it make?"

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, Wang Tuchuan, Yu Xuji and Zenjoji Arihime behind him and on the other side swung their blades at the same time.

quietly.

However, Yhwach seemed to see through all the intentions of the two in an instant.

Twist the body and swing the knife.

All in one go.

The tremendous force contained in the Annihilation Cross Blade stopped two powerful first-generation captains at the same time, and even pushed them back repeatedly. The sudden burst of spirit particles was like a cloak made of flames, wrapping around Yhwach.

Burning fiercely.

"Zheng——"

The rapid friction between the blades produced a series of shining sparks. The huge cross sword was as nimble as an embroidery needle in Yhwach's hand. He swept it horizontally and vertically with ease, forcing Zenjoji Arihime, who was standing in the front, to retreat several steps.

Although it was the first time that Saito and the others cooperated with each other, they had an extremely accurate grasp of the rhythm of the battle. They took advantage of the moment when the opponent was exhausted and quickly swung their swords forward.

However, Yhwach's feet suddenly planted on the ground, and his left hand, which was holding the end of the handle, loosened and lifted up slightly as if he had eyes on his back.

"Bang!"

The hilt of the knife in the girl's hand hit his palm as if it was delivered to the door, and all the force was instantly removed.

The pupil of Saito's one eye suddenly contracted.

However, before she could turn the handle of the knife, she saw a big foot suddenly spun upwards with the force generated by the swing of the knife.

It slammed into the leaping girl's abdomen with a bang, kicking her away at a speed faster than when it came.

This series of actions seemed slow but was actually fast. From Wang Tuchuan and the other two launching a surprise attack to Saito being kicked away, they all happened almost at the same moment.

If there were an ordinary person nearby, they would not even be able to see clearly what was happening.

However, even though it was only a brief moment, it was enough to gain time.

"There are five disasters from heaven and five diseases from man..."

"Wail freely! Epidemic Shura!"

The dark purple color seemed to flow across the thin blade, and the seemingly sickly pale face of the executor Naiwu Gang became even drier in an instant.

But in contrast, the spiritual pressure rising from his body was even more intense than before.

The purple smoke spread out like mist, spreading in all directions along the direction of the executioner Nai Wugang, and slowly moved along with his low breathing.

Yhwach frowned slightly.

The executor Nai Wugang looked at him with a malicious look in his eyes.

"Green plague!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall and thin figure of the Executioner Naiwu Gang immediately stuck to the ground and rushed straight towards Yhwach, his face suddenly showing a dark blue color.

Looking in the direction where his blade was slashing, a hint of contempt flashed in Yhwach's eyes.

That's all.

However, the moment he raised the Cross Blade of Extinction, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Zheng——"

The swords collided, and the power in Wu Gang's hands was astonishing.

Yhwach remained standing, his feet firmly planted in the solid ground.

"What an amazing guy."

"Green Plague, is the effect still too weak for you?"

Although he said this, a malicious smile appeared on the face of the executor Nai Wu Gang.

Blue, red, yellow, white and black are the five epidemics.

This is an ability that is unique to his Zanpakutō.

As long as you inhale the thin mist that permeates his body, you will be infected with his "epidemic".

Each color can add a negative effect to the enemy.

Until the moment when the five epidemics broke out simultaneously...

"Ok?"

Just as Wu Gang was increasing the strength in his hands, the malicious smile suddenly froze.

Slowly, the swords and knives at the intersection of the two people were slowly moving towards him.

This force...?

Before Xianai Wugang could react, the force of the Annihilation Cross Blade increased significantly again!

"boom!"

A strong wind blew in the face and smoke and dust filled the air.

The figure wrapped in darkness flew forward rapidly along the ground, with the tip of the knife pointing straight at the chest of the executioner Nai Wugang.

At this critical moment, a swaying stream of water like a long black whip suddenly shot out from the side, and fell on the blade that was extended forward with a whistling sound.

"The torrent surges wildly, the heavy water dances."

Wang Tuchuan and Yu Xuji threw off their straw hats, revealing their long black hair beneath the brim. Their eyes, which usually looked half asleep, opened as well, and deep within their pupils was a murderous intent as cold as the coldest days of winter.

Yhwach changed the style of the sword in his hand and easily cut through the dark water rushing like a waterfall in front of him.

But before he could take another step, a large wave-like invisible current suddenly spread out, completely covering the area of ​​several hundred meters centered on the battlefield of the five people.

The blade in the hands of Arinaka Zenjoji was like a dandelion, slowly changing from visible to invisible.

"All of them are at my disposal, the jinmaku yokozuna."

The moment he finished speaking, his palm, as thick as a small carrot, suddenly pushed forward and pressed hard in the direction of Yhwach.

Although nothing tangible was reflected in his eyes, Yhwach's figure was suddenly pushed away as if by an invisible giant hand. He flew up under the huge force that was magnified countless times, and a pure white shock wave path was created with a sharp sonic boom.

Until the end, a hoarse and arrogant female voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"Kill them all! Blood Hunting Palace!"

The katana in Saito Bulaobushi's hand was covered with deep scarlet marks, with a faint smell of blood, and it drew a crescent-shaped mark in the air.

The blade pointed straight at the man's neck.

"Give me your head!"

"Bastard!"

Looking at the blade pointing straight at his throat, Yhwach's eyes were as calm as at the beginning.

It seems that all this has been foreseen.

......

While Saito and others were fighting with Yhwach.
