Chapter 150: The Promise of Goodbye

Seeing the enemy blocking their path, Koiji's mood at this time had fallen to the bottom. www.biquge.info originally thought that he had come here quietly, and there should be no enemies in front of him, and at most there would only be one ghost who guarded Rukia, but the reality was far beyond his expectations. At this time, he just wanted to sigh at his fate, and there was no longer the slightest intention of resistance in his heart.

And Ichigo and Iwashi are not like Koiji, who are cowardly before fighting, after all, the enemies they encountered before are not much worse than the enemies in front of them in Ichigo's opinion, they have all overcome. Moreover, the enemy in front of him, Ichigo had encountered before, although he was killed in one hit at the beginning, but now Ichigo has the confidence to fight countless rounds. Of course, Ichigo didn't know that Ukitake Shiro killed him in one blow when his strength was limited.

"Yo, I didn't expect to meet you again, did you happen to meet you, or did you already find our traces before? When we encountered so many tricky enemies before, you didn't show up, what was the purpose, because you thought you were too strong and didn't bother to join forces with others?"

The captain in front of him obviously wouldn't have been arranged to guard Rukia, and the possibility of encountering them by chance was almost none. Ichigo could only make a terrible assumption at this time, all the disguises of the three of them were carried out under his nose, juggling in front of him like a clown.

"I'm sorry, but I've been following you from the moment you stepped into the Silent Soul Court. Although there are many opportunities to defeat you, I still hold back, because I want to ask you why in this place close to Rukia, why do you want to rescue Rukia so desperately, don't you know that even if Rukia is rescued, it is impossible for you to leave the Corpse Soul Realm?"

This time, Ukitake didn't like the last time he met Ichigo, and spread out his hands, as if to show that he had no malicious intent. But the coercion he exudes as the captain reminds Ichigo at all times that he can't let his guard down, otherwise he may not know how he died.

"Last time, I was asked the same question, and I refuted it at the beginning, isn't it natural to do my best for my partner? In the past, I was the only one in my family who believed in the existence of souls, and because of the fear of the unknown, I still felt a little uneasy in my heart, as if I was a strange person. It wasn't until Rukia appeared that she explained to me in detail about these souls and the world of corpses that I had never known before, as if opening the door to a new world for me and calming my heart. And after learning that Rukia was a capital offense to pass on the power of death to me, I had a different understanding of Rukia. A girl who wants to save others even if she dies with a serious sin, why should I not do my best not to save her? Moreover, my name has already been decided, I will protect my companion, and whoever wants to take her life must first endure my vows to die. Although I lost to you last time, I won't be so easy for you to take down now!"

Hearing Ukitake's words, Ichigo's eyes took on a memory of the first three months, a girl who created a better world for him, a girl who opened up a new world for him, a girl who became Ichigo's companion, and Ichigo had to save her. At this time, Ichigo's eyes were unprecedentedly firm, and the spiritual pressure in his body was surging unconsciously, and in a short period of time, he was already on par with the floating bamboo in front of him.

"I can't let you be in the limelight alone! I, Koiji Asani, am willing to gamble everything I have to save Rukia. Maybe I ignored Rukia's feelings for a while in order to revitalize Team Eleven, but now I've done enough to live up to my teammates who passed away, as well as the captain and vice-captain. From now on, I'm no longer the vice-captain of the 11th team of the 13th team of the Gotei Garden, but Rukia's best friend from childhood to adulthood, Koiji Asai! Today, I will also challenge the captain of the 13th team with Ichigo Ukitake Shishiro, and even if I die because of this, I will not complain."

Ichigo's fighting spirit managed to free Koiji from his fear of being a captain, and it seemed that at this moment, Koiji finally saw what he had in the Quiet Soul Garden, all of which was not as important as Rukia's life. Koiji looked at the vice-captain's armband on his left arm, with a look of nostalgia on his face. However, soon his eyes changed from nostalgia to firmness, and his right hand fiercely removed the armband and threw it fiercely into the distance. And Ukitake, who originally sighed for Ichigo, is now also impressed by Koiji. Throwing away the vice-captain's armband directly was enough to clarify the belief in his heart at this time.

"You two bastards, why don't you look like you're about to die before you fight, I'm not going to risk my life for the sake of Rukia Kuchigi, who I don't know. But, who made me a teammate of you two bastards? Since you plan to fight to the death, I will naturally not retreat, and if I die with you here, the second sister should be honored for me!"

Although the rock vultures will not fight for Rukia's life, for the sake of his two comrades, he has already had the determination to die at this time. The three of them showed off their weapons separately, the spiritual pressure on the slashing moon in Ichigo's hand, which was like a kitchen knife, loomed, and the snake tail pill in Koiji's hand had also been liberated, ready to bite the enemy at any time. And the rock vultures also took out all kinds of fireworks from behind him to press the bottom of the box, with different effects, just to be able to play a little role.

Although the three of Ichigo had already put on a posture of fighting to the death, Ukitake still didn't make any moves. After looking at each other for a while, Ukitake put on a look of "defeated by you" and slowly staggered to the side. And as he moved to the side, the three of Ichigo also tightened their spirits to the extreme, but the scene in front of them overwhelmed them, only to see that the ghost people who had not appeared before to guard Rukia were lying peacefully behind the position that Ukitake had just occupied.

"Oh, I'm really lazy, the guard will fall asleep with such a criminal. However, after all, this is the center of the Silent Spirit Court, and there should be no enemies to break through, so it shouldn't be a problem to be lazy for a while. Alas, I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest early, people are useless when they're old!"

Ukitake Shishiro suddenly sighed as if no one was around, and walked straight towards Ichigo, who was always on his guard. It wasn't until Ukitake walked past them and walked down the stairs that Ichigo and them relaxed a little.

At this time, the three of them looked at each other with blank faces, at a loss, and it was still the rock vulture who reminded them in time that they came to their senses and went to rescue Rukia. After searching the fallen ghost Dao people for a while, they finally found the key to the confession palace, not only the key to the gate, but also the key to the spiritual pressure device on Rukia's body. When they opened the door of the palace of confession, they saw Rukia, who had lost a lot of weight. At this time, she seemed to have lost hope, her eyes were blank, and when she saw Ichigo and Koiji, she just smiled and ignored it.

At first, Ichigo and the others couldn't understand Rukia's actions, but after a while, they realized that Rukia thought it was just her fantasy, so she didn't show any happy expressions, until Ichigo removed the device that bound Rukia's spiritual pressure.

"Rukia, I have kept the agreement between you and me and met you again!"

Ichigo smiled heartily at a teary-eyed Rukia, successfully fulfilling the white lie that Rukia had promised when she said goodbye. Tears fell uncontrollably from Rukia's eyes, and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
