Death: Captain Millennium

"You still say it's not you! Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Captain Yamamoto was furious and hit Lin Yu on the head with his cane.

"How could it be me! How could this sword spirit slander someone's innocence out of thin air? Which eye of hers saw that I did it?"

Lin Yu took a step back very smoothly, avoiding the captain's critical attack.

"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean those nine stars appeared suddenly? They're clearly your innate power. You're just framing me!"

He suddenly jumped up, grabbed Xiu Baixue's collar, and lifted her up, clearly intending to intimidate the person involved.

"I...I don't know, I really don't know."

Sode no Shirayuki was so frightened by Lin Yu's move that she trembled with fear and actually broke free from Muramasa's control and quickly fled back to Rukia's inner world.

"I think you need love education.

"Choujiro, Hibiki! Drag him back to the First Division!"

Captain Yamamoto was itching to fight. He hadn't boxed for a long time and didn't mind using Lin Yu as a punching bag.

"Defamation! I'm going to sue you for defamation!"

Some people are dead and their whole body is hard, while some people are alive and their whole body is soft except for their mouth which is hard.

This sentence is not an exaggeration to describe Lin Yu at this moment.

Chojiro and Xianghe each grabbed one of Lin Yu's arms and carried him away.

"Master, if there is a grudge, there is a grudge, if there is a vengeance, there is revenge! You must recognize the right person. It is not that I am unfilial. The captain has given the order, and I am just following it."

Xianghe gave Lin Yu a shot of prevention in advance to avoid being held accountable by his unreliable master later.

He was still worrying too much. With Lin Yu's personality, even if he took precautions in advance, he would still suffer.

The captain walked away with Lin Yu, and their figures eventually disappeared from everyone's sight. At this time, Bai Ya and others who remained at the scene looked at each other in confusion. The atmosphere became a little awkward and silent for a while.

"Let's go! It's all over."

After a long while, as if time had stood still, Byakuya was the first to break the silence.

"Renji, we should go back."

A moment later, Byakuya turned to look at Renji, who remained motionless beside him. To his surprise, Renji stood firmly in place, as if rooted to the spot. Furthermore, Renji gripped his Zanpakutō so tightly that the handle even creaked from the force applied.

"Rukia, let's fight!"

It was clear that Renji had no intention of leaving. His gaze fell directly on Rukia, who was not far away, and his eyes revealed a desire for battle.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why does he suddenly want to compete with me?"

Rukia was slightly startled by Renji's sudden challenge. She turned her head and looked at Renji, who had a complicated expression on his face. She was really confused by Renji's behavior.

"That's perfect! I also want to see what you've learned from Lin Yu."

Byakuya also stopped. He had never seen Rukia take action. Although her spiritual pressure was strong, fighting was not as simple as relying on spiritual pressure alone.

Of course, perverts are excluded, including but not limited to people like Lin Yu, Aizen, and Captain Yamamoto.

"Okay! I also want to see how far I've come now."

Rukia had just learned the Shikai and was itching to try it out. Since someone was willing to be her sparring partner, of course she had to satisfy the other person.

……

Led by Tetsuzaemon, the group arrived at Lin Yu's special training ground. This training ground was constructed with murderous stones, which could effectively block the spread of spiritual pressure and could withstand battles above the captain level, even if Rukia and Renji were at full strength.

"Roar! Snaketail Maru."

Renji released his Zanpakuto right from the start. It wasn't that he was making a fuss, but Rukia was almost at the same level as him. If he didn't release it, he really wasn't Rukia's type.

"Oh……"

Renji swung the Snaketail Pill like a windmill and slashed towards Rukia.

Although Rukia's slashing technique and spiritual pressure are strong, her combat experience is not as rich as Renci's. She fell into a disadvantage as soon as the fight started and had to dodge Jabimaru's attacks by twisting and turning.

After she dodged the knife by leaning sideways, she immediately drew her sword from its sheath. With a flash of blade light, the Zanpakutō in her hand blocked the next sweep from Jabimaru.

Renji used his agility to spin his body and change the direction of his attack again, slashing from above. Rukia jumped back to create distance, but Renji followed her like a shadow and rushed forward in an instant.

While fighting and retreating, Rukia gradually mastered the rhythm of attack. She concentrated her mind to sense the trajectory of Renji's movements. Just when Sheweimaru was about to chop her, she suddenly dodged to the left and slashed at Sheweimaru's blade, causing Sheweimaru to float to the right.

Rukia's sword strike seemed insignificant, but it accurately hit the extended joint of Sheweimaru. The power contained in it was surprisingly great, which made Renci's palm numb and he almost couldn't hold the sword.

Rukia seized the opportunity and stepped forward, aiming a knife straight at Renji's face. Renji was startled and quickly jumped back to avoid it, but the knife still cut through his Death Hater suit.

"Tsk tsk! What a powerful beheading technique."

Renji felt a surge of force coming from the serpentine pill in his hand, as if it was trying to break free from his grasp. He gritted his teeth and abandoned his one-handed grip on the hilt, instead firmly grasping the serpentine pill with both hands, fearing it would slip out of his grasp. If he were to be hit by another attack from Rukia, he feared he would never be able to hold his sword again.

Rukia, however, grew more courageous as the fight went on, showing no sign of fatigue. Even before she could unleash her Zanpakutō, the ferocious onslaught overwhelmed Renji, who could only retreat repeatedly to avoid the swift and violent onslaught of swords and sabers.

It's worth mentioning that Rukia's seemingly ferocious attacks are actually very measured. She can precisely control the force and distance of each strike, neither causing any harm to Renji nor forcing him into a state of panic.

As the saying goes, "Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are watching from the sidelines can see things more clearly." Renji, who was caught in a fierce battle, might not have noticed any clues yet, but Byakuya and Tetsuzaemon, who were watching the battle on the sidelines, had already exchanged glances, and their expressions became increasingly solemn.

When they first saw Renji survive a blow, they thought it was a coincidence. But as the battle continued, they gradually realized that there was more to it than meets the eye. Rukia had orchestrated all of this! Her ability to control the force and angle of her strikes with such exquisite precision undoubtedly demonstrated Rukia's mastery of the art of slashing.

"In terms of killing skills alone, I may not be her opponent."

Tetsuzaemon looked at Byakuya in surprise. You know, he is also a tsundere. The fact that he could say such words meant that Rukia's slashing technique was really terrifyingly powerful.
