Death: Captain Millennium

Ichigo, holding Zangetsu, glared fiercely at Kariya. Meanwhile, on the other side, Uryuu engaged in a fierce battle with Sawatari; Chadari and Koga Tsuyoshi were locked in a close fight; and Ganjuu and Udagawa Rei were also engaged in a fierce battle. Hanatarō, gripping his sword, trembled uncontrollably, clearly apprehensive of the intense battle unfolding before him. As for Orihime, like a dutiful nurse, she continuously used her Soten Kidun technique on her companions, protecting them from enemy attacks.

The entire hall was in chaos, the sound of swords clashing echoing through the air. A dazzling display of spiritual energy intertwined and flashed. If such a fierce battle continued, even this house would be completely destroyed.

However, for Ichigo and his companions, the situation was not looking good. Of the ten, only seven were truly capable of fighting. It wasn't long before they were gradually losing ground.

"Damn it! If we keep going like this, it seems like we won't be able to defeat these guys at all."

Ichigo swung his sword with all his might, temporarily forcing Kariya back. Only then did he have a chance to catch his breath and survey the situation. To his surprise, the situation was far worse than he'd anticipated. Not only him, but his companions were also struggling, completely overwhelmed by their opponent.

"Drink!"

Ichigo was unwilling to be defeated, so he summoned his strength and shouted again, trying to use his Bankai to turn the tide of the battle. Although he gathered all his spiritual pressure, his Bankai still failed to be used successfully.

Just when Ichigo and his men were about to be captured, Yoruichi and Soi Fong suddenly appeared here. With the addition of two captain-level fighters, the situation on the battlefield finally stabilized.

In fact, Yoruichi and Soi Fong were like two ghostly figures, following Ichigo and the others silently, always keeping a certain distance, so that Ichigo and the others were completely unaware of the existence of these two powerful men.

The reason they acted this way was not out of malicious intent to kill Ichigo, but because they hoped to train Ichigo in this way and allow him to continue to grow and become stronger in actual combat.

"Haha, God is really helping me! I've been searching the whole city for you, but I never thought you'd show up right here! Today is the day you all die, don't even think about escaping!"

Yoruichi and Soi Fong, who had been hiding, suddenly appeared before everyone. Kariya took a closer look and felt a surge of ecstasy. Greed and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, as if he could already see these people becoming his delicious blood meal.

"Yeyi-san, why are you here?"

When Ichigo saw Yoruichi and Soi Fong suddenly appear, an expression of excitement that was hard to conceal instantly appeared on his face. At this moment, he felt relieved. Both of them were captain-level figures with outstanding strength. With their joining, their combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced.

"Yijigu, if we had arrived a step later, I'm afraid we would have been left with nothing but your corpses. You're so reckless, daring to break into the Soul Hunter's lair alone. Do you really think you have nine lives?"

Faced with Ichigo's excited reaction, Yoruichi was not at all happy. He felt helpless about Ichigo's impulsive and adventurous behavior, but at the same time he secretly admired his courage.

As captain-level masters, Yoruichi and Soi Fong's strength was undeniable. Shortly after entering the fray, they displayed astonishing combat prowess, rendering the previously arrogant Soul Hunters vulnerable and forced to retreat.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, an unexpected change occurred on the battlefield. Udagawa Rei, who was facing Ganju, suddenly changed the direction of his attack without warning, aiming directly at Kariya!

This sinister individual had long harbored ambitions to usurp power, seeking to eliminate Kariya and become the new leader. Seeing Kariya being besieged by Yoruichi, Soi Fong, and Ichigo, he keenly sensed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Without hesitation, he betrayed the organization and delivered a fatal blow to Kariya.

"Uda!"

Kariya's face was filled with astonishment. He had never imagined that his trusted confidant, Udagawa Rei, who had always been by his side, would act like a traitor at such a critical moment.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Kariya Shin had no time to make any effective defensive moves. In order to avoid the sudden attack from Udagawa Rei, he had no choice but to withstand Yoruichi's fierce kick.

There was a dull thud, and Kariya was sent flying backwards several meters like a kite with its string cut. After landing, he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow!" His face turned pale as paper, and his body trembled continuously.

Obviously, the kick Ye Yi just delivered was extremely powerful, causing him extremely serious injuries. Even his internal organs seemed to be displaced, causing him unbearable pain.

"interesting!"

Yoruichi and Soi Fong stopped their attack. They didn't expect that at this critical moment someone from the Soul Hunters would backstab their leader. It was really interesting.

"Ichinose, kill him!"

Kariya's eyes were about to spit fire. It was obvious that Udagawa Rei's betrayal had made him lose his mind. He could not care less now. It didn't matter whether he was a god of death or not. The most important thing was to kill this traitor.

Maki Ichinose, who had been watching the show on the side, heard Kariya's order and drew his Zanpakutō without hesitation and slashed at Udagawa Rei.

"grim Reaper?"

Ichigo stared in disbelief at the hooded man who had been standing quietly by his side. The others were also stunned; none of them had imagined that this seemingly insignificant individual could be a Soul Society Shinigami.

The cloaked man slowly raised his head, his face looming in the shadows beneath his hood. Suddenly, a flash of cold light flashed, and his Zanpakutō was unsheathed, and a powerful spiritual pressure instantly spread.

"Shine! Rainbow."

Ichinose shouted loudly, and the Zanpakutō in his hand suddenly burst into a rainbow of light, dazzling and dazzling. Then, a strange thing happened - Ichinose's figure suddenly disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

This is the unique ability of Ichinose's Zanpakutō. By skillfully utilizing the principles of light refraction, he can create countless illusory images to confuse his enemies, while his true self remains hidden within the light, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Most of the time, he shines light onto the surface of his body, utilizing its reflective properties to prevent the enemy from determining his true position.

In a flash, just as Ichinose vanished, Udagawa Rei, who had been dazed, suddenly let out a scream. Everyone looked closely and saw a deep wound had appeared on his chest, blood gushing out. He had clearly been struck while completely defenseless.

"How can it be!"

Udagawa Rei's face was filled with terror. He frantically swung the long sword that Flit had transformed into, slashing wildly in all directions. However, each of his attacks seemed to hit the void, unable to touch any entity at all.
