In Soul Society, love and bond begin

An extremely harsh sound of metal friction immediately rang in the ears of the two men.

"Squeak-clang!"

The blade of Shiba Night Ibis was deflected by his shallow attack.

The moment the two blades deflected at the same time, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly discovered in his peripheral vision that Fujimiya Makoto had actually loosened his hand holding the knife.

“Oh no—”

There was no time to react as Fujimiya Makoto's footsteps suddenly stepped forward with a loud bang, leaving behind spider-web-like cracks where his feet landed. A huge force penetrated his waist and back, and with the support of the equally violent spiritual pressure, it pushed his shoulders and arms into Shiba Night Ibis's arms at the same time.

The force penetrates through each section of the spine until finally... strikes out!

"One bone!"

With a loud shout, roaring spiritual pressure surged out from his fist and exploded in Shiba Night Ibis's body.

With just one blow, his figure was like a broken kite. He flew out at a high speed under this punch, smashing dozens of walls in succession and stirring up a cloud of dust.

In mid-air, the spinning Asada was caught in Fujimiya Makoto's hand.

......

"This is...what a terrifying boxing technique."

Shiba Night Ibis spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly stepped out of the sunken wall.

Originally, I didn't activate the Shikai just to have a fair fight with that thief, but I didn't expect it to end up in such a self-defeating situation.

'Ha, what a shame.'

Just as Shiba Night Ibis was thinking this, he suddenly saw the bodies of two young men lying not far from him.

The older one remained in the hugging position until his death.

The severed neck was still bleeding and the pupils had begun to dilate.

For a moment, his body suddenly became tense and his expression stiffened.

The subconscious desire to compete deep in my heart suddenly disappeared.

These Yuanliu thieves...even kill children?

In the distance, Fujimiya Makoto's figure emerged from the smoke and dust raised by the explosion.

The spiritual pressure on Shiba Night Ibis's body was constantly surging under the fluctuations of emotions. For a moment, it seemed that it even forgot the pain in its body and stood straight in place.

A trace of spiritual pressure also flowed from the shallow sword held in his hand.

"Go through the clouds and sky, and directly control the flowers."

As he whispered the words of liberation, the spiritual pressure on his body became more and more agitated, and the shallow sword in his hand turned into a two-and-a-half-meter-long black spear, and his whole aura seemed to become a little lower.

Slowly walked towards Fujimiya Makoto.

When there were only a few steps between the two sides, Shiba Night Ibis suddenly looked at the young man in front of him.

His voice was hoarse and contained a hint of suppressed anger, or perhaps pure sadness:

"you..."

"Why did you start this war?"

Fujimiya Makoto looked at him and found that the expression of this naive idiot was actually serious. He couldn't help but laugh out loud "hahaha" and his stomach cramped a little.

It was like hearing some big joke.

This reaction only further angered Shiba Night Ibis.

He widened his eyes, bloodshot, and asked in a low voice:

"What's so funny about that?"

"Where's the fun in that!"

"What do you... take human life for?!"

Fujimiya Makoto smiled and asked him: "As a nobleman..."

At the end of his words, his expression, which had just been smiling, gradually became cold and mocking.

"...Are you qualified to say such things?"

Upon hearing this, a burst of violent airflow suddenly rose from behind Shiba Night Ibis, and the whole person touched the ground with both feet, as if floating on the ground. The speed was obviously directly increased to a higher level.

He held the spear level and pointed it in the direction of Fujimiya Makoto!

The young man's sarcastic expression undoubtedly deeply touched Shiba Night Ibis's nerves, causing him to widen his eyes and shout angrily:

"Hopeless!"

The next second, the hurricane rolled up a cloud of dust.

His figure suddenly disappeared.

Chapter 36 I told you it was a trap

In the blink of an eye, the man in front of him surpassed Fujimiya Makoto's ability to capture him with his eyes, and all that was left in his ears was the roaring sound of the wind.

Shiba Night Ibis can see everything clearly.

The wind informed him of all the sounds.

"laugh!"

The sound of rapidly burning flames filled the air, the sound of intense friction caused by the Death Suit moving at super high speed.

The ink-black spear is as agile as a flying dragon, and a flash of cold light arrives first!

Straight through!

“Squeaky——”

At that critical moment, Fujimiya Makoto's body suddenly slid to the side, the blade brushed against the tip of the gun and bounced off, and a series of sparks burst out of thin air.

However, Shiba Night Ibis had no intention of stopping. He only touched the tip of his spear slightly and then immediately retracted it. He disappeared like a phantom and reappeared from another direction.

At first glance, it seemed that three or four clear figures could be seen around Fujimiya Makoto.

However, facing such a desperate situation, the young Yuanliu Death God in front of him seemed to turn a blind eye, his nerves seemed to be made of iron, and he had no intention of retreating at all.

Shiba Night Ibis's movements couldn't help but become three times faster.

accelerate! accelerate! Keep accelerating!

At this moment, his heart was filled with resentment, and the bodies of the two young men seemed to be reflected in his eyes, with anger burning in his lungs.

He couldn't understand.

These reapers who call themselves Yuanliu are always like this.

For some unknown reason, he regards all the Soul Reapers as his enemies!

Killing the nobles living in Rukongai for no apparent reason!

Starting this damn war for no reason!

To protect his clan members in Seireitei, whether it was the late Kuchiki, or Tsunayashiro who was still fighting on the front lines, or even himself, a rookie who had just started...

Everybody's fighting this damn war.

Why on earth would these guys do this?!

Status? Money? Fame? Or simply a love of killing?

The inner hearts of people cannot be connected.

Everyone knows this.

But Shiba Yoshihisa, who had lived in Seireitei since childhood, could not imagine what kind of cruel reasons they had to do such a cruel thing.

That intense sadness seemed to overflow from his chest!

Under this violent attack, Fujimiya Makoto seemed to be unable to resist and retreated again and again.

"Naomika Retsu!!!"

Along with his reckless roar, the spirit particle storm wrapped around the tip of the gun suddenly spread out, and in an instant it suddenly expanded towards Fujimiya Makoto, exploding into a ball of chaotic airflow!

In an instant, the large buildings behind Fujimiya Makoto were all blown open.

A straight road is created.

"Huh...huh..."

Even Shiba Night Ibis would not feel good after using this move with all his strength. The punch to his abdomen made his throat feel sweet unconsciously, but he had to swallow it back.

He refused to show any sign of weakness in front of these thugs.

"Ah, I found it."

However, the unexpectedly relaxed voice sounded in Shiba Night Ibis's ears, making him startled.

Haven’t you finished it yet?

Just as he was about to take another breath and fight a few more rounds, he saw the young man in front of him turning and heading to the other side - that was a palace that was blown away by his attack.

On the dilapidated palace plaque, the words "Lingdan Pavilion" still remain vaguely.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Shiba Yehu no longer believed these vicious bandits and looked at the man opposite with a grim expression.

"Of course, I set a trap for you."

Fujimiya Makoto was quite frank.

Before the other party could react, his figure had disappeared and he instantly stepped into the dark palace.

Shiba Night Ibis followed in subconsciously without giving it much thought.

However, when he reached the side of the half-collapsed palace, his steps suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly into the darkness, seemingly in a trance.

In front of him was a huge palace.

On the walls of this vast palace, iron chains and murderous stones were combined to lock up one child after another who was dressed in tattered clothes and had dull expressions.

Each of them had a slight fluctuation of spiritual pressure.

Obviously, they are all gifted with spiritual power.

Faintly, one seemed to hear some kind of gnawing sound coming from the palace.

Cold and quiet.

Fujimiya Makoto strolled in the corridor of the palace, taking calm steps and speaking softly, as if he didn't take the man behind him seriously at all.

"Spiritual Gallbladder Pills, you've heard of them too, right?"

"A secret medicine that forcibly increases spiritual power."

"Back in District 40, we captured Elder Asaemon and extracted the secret method for making this medicine from him."

He stopped in the corridor and turned to look at Shiba Yoshihisa behind him.

"—Select a young man with spiritual pressure talent, break the soul sleep, retain the lock knot, use drugs to save his life, and torture him with pain for a long time."

"Do you know what's going to happen?"

Ever since entering this palace, Shiba Night Ibis has seemed a little slow. It might be because he didn't expect it, or maybe the phenomenon before him conflicted with his inherent ideas, and a bug appeared in his brain.

When hearing Fujimiya Makoto's question, he almost subconsciously asked back:

"what happened?"

Fujimiya Makoto's expression was grim. "...the 'Chains of Karma'②, which were unique to earthbound spirits and should have been 'saved' in this world, will reappear."

Shiba Night Ibis's body couldn't help but tremble.

Of course, he knew what the 'Earthbound Spirit' and the 'Chain of Karma' were, or rather, all the Death Gods knew it very well.

Because, as long as the chains on the earthbound spirit's chest are bitten to the end, forming a hollow in the heart, the 'whole' will become the so-called 'void' - this is the process of the formation of the void.
