Chapter 9: The Enlightenment of Love

"Roar, Snake Tail Maru!" The knife in his right hand is in his hand, and the four fingers of his left hand are together, from the handle of the knife to the tip of the knife, and with a gentle wipe, the light of the slashing knife in his hand flashed, releasing the first solution! A strangely shaped knife appeared in Koiji's hand: on the simple gray-brown handle, it was a pale black blade, and the blade was divided into six sections, from the bottom to the top, and at the end of each section was a sharp blade, the closer to the tip of the knife, the longer the blade.

"Die, bastard!" Koiji rushed towards Ichigo and swung his sword at Ichigo from a long distance. The body of the snake tail pill suddenly elongated, and the movable five-section blade stabbed at Ichigo like a poisonous snake.

"A strangely shaped sword......" Ichigo was wary of that, according to Kisuke Urahara, odd-shaped knives often possess incredible abilities. Seeing that Koiji's slashing knife suddenly extended, Ichigo's heart couldn't help but loosen, and he held the knife in both hands to block the attacking snake tail pill. Unexpectedly, with a "boom", the huge momentum directly knocked Ichigo's body into the air, collapsing a wall behind Ichigo, and a large hole more than a person high suddenly appeared in front of everyone!

"Ahem......" Ichigo behind the wall was shattered and coughed in pain after spurting out a large mouthful of blood.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, do you really think it's great to beat me once? Dare to be distracted in such a situation! Koiji withdrew the elongated snake tail pill, walked towards Ichigo with the sword, and said disdainfully: "To tell you the truth, the god of death like us who is at the level of vice captain and above, when fighting in this world, in order not to affect the soul in this life, the spiritual pressure is limited to one-fifth of the normal time!" In other words, my current strength is five times that of the original, a full five times! Just because you, a little miscellaneous fish who even steal spiritual pressure, want to defeat me, hum, ridiculous! ”

"Oh, five times? It's kind of interesting! I'm afraid you're too weak! Ichigo walked out of the cave in embarrassment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Koiji with a fighting spirit, wanting to use the person in front of him to practice his new ability: "Let me see your so-called five-fold strength!" ”

"Ichigo (Ichigo-kun), are you alright! It's just great! Worried Eagle and Hanataro shouted happily.

"I'm sorry to worry you! Don't worry, I'll deal with him right away! Ichigo stared at Koiji and replied.

"Humph! Didn't you take me into account? Koiji's eyes flashed sharply, and he quickly rushed towards Ichigo, constantly using instantaneous flashes in the middle of the process, making his steps seem confusing and unpredictable. When he was still two or three meters away from Ichigo, Koiji quickly swung his sword and slashed at Ichigo.

"Right shoulder!!" With a lot of combat experience from Raten, Ichigo, like a seasoned hunter, learned about Koiji's attack intentions based on the muscle movements on his right arm and wrist! With a sneer on his face, his legs were slightly bent, his upper body was bowed forward, and the big knife in his right hand moved slightly to the right. "It's coming!" Ichigo's heart sank, and he stared intently at the direction where Snake Tail Pill was shot. "Dang!" Since the spiritual pressure is slightly inferior to that of Koiji, Ichigo used the method of "four or two dialing a thousand catties", and the slashing knife was stuck between the two sharp blades, and in the back area, most of the force of the future attack was unloaded, and at the same time, he jumped up, and instantly rushed towards the rapid rush of Koiji, and in his stunned eyes, he punched him in the chest! poured most of the spiritual pressure into the snake tail pill, causing the love of the body, who did not have too much spiritual pressure to protect the body, once again tasted the consequences of underestimating the enemy, and slammed into the mountain wall fiercely, and the blood spurted out as if he didn't want money!

"Humph! The amount of spiritual pressure does not represent the strength of combat effectiveness! After so many years as a captain, don't you even know this truth?! Five times the spiritual pressure is five times the strength, ridiculous! Playing with the experience he inherited from Luo Tian, Ichigo sneered with a smug look on his face.

"Damn!" The physical pain aroused the resentment of Koiji, his eyes were slightly red, and he roared fiercely with his sword: "Bastard, it's all you!" If it weren't for you, if Rukia hadn't met you, how could she end up where she is today! Go to hell! He held the knife in both hands and poured all the spiritual pressure into the snake tail pill, smashing it to the ground. The huge spiritual power drilled out of the snake tail pill, burrowed into the ground, and shot at Ichigo like a feathered arrow, "boom boom" The fragile rock floor could not withstand the violent spiritual power, and exploded one after another, and the stones splashed everywhere!

"Do you want to compete in spiritual pressure?" Ichigo hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth: "Fight!" If you want to rescue Rukia, you must comprehend the 'Understanding'. Although I don't have a clue at all, if I don't have the determination to move forward, how can I master the power of strength! Not to mention controlling the power of the void in the body! "Poured spiritual pressure into the slashing moon and stabbed it heavily into the ground. The tip of the needle was facing Mai Mang, and a white spiritual pressure feather arrow slammed head-on into the spiritual pressure of Lianji. "Boom!" A violent roar that seemed to be like a missile explosion and made people almost deaf sounded in this piece of heaven and earth! Centered on the place where the two spiritual pressures collided, a violent explosion occurred within a radius of ten meters, and a large hole nearly ten meters deep appeared in the square!

"Huhu ......" two consecutive spiritual pressures were completely released, and Ichigo was a little tired. Seeing that the center of the explosion had only moved less than ten centimeters to his side, Ichigo smiled: "Hehe, although you have a slight advantage in the spiritual pressure competition, but, Asai Koiji, you are not much stronger than me!" ”

"Damn, damn!" Under the double blow of the body (exhaustion after the emptiness of spiritual power) and the spirit (unable to defeat Ichigo, who had harmed Rukia to this extent, and once again at the hands of his previously weakly weak opponent), Koiji let out a "poof" and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Get out of the way, I don't want to kill you!" Taking a break with his broadsword, Ichigo shouted at Koiji. Even after gaining great power in a short period of time, Ichigo is essentially a fifteen-year-old high school student, and he resists killing people from the bottom of his heart.

"Why! Obviously her first encounter with you has already hurt her to this extent, why do you still come to save her! Do you have to make her die without peace? Bastard! The spiritual power was empty, and the staggered Koiji shouted with the last of his strength, falling to the ground and gasping for breath.

"It's because I'm responsible for everything we have today that I'm going to rescue you, no, I'm going to save Rukia!" Ichigo shook his head, determined, "Besides, are you so sure I can't do it?" You're Rukia's companion too, aren't you? If you don't even believe in yourself, how can you trust your companions! Have you just left your companions behind? ”

"Companion...... Is it? Thinking of a long time ago, Lianji bit his lip tightly, and a strange sour and numb feeling made his heart like a knife: "Enlightenment! My consciousness is to be your guardian! Rukia!! ”

"You guys, let's go!" The pride of the vice-captain made Koiji hold his crumbling body and shouted in a low voice.

"Don't worry!" Sensing his determination from Koiji's eyes, Ichigo nodded at him, turned back to the two Iwashi who had already fled far away, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

"This spiritual pressure is a love order!" Imprisoned the runaway Hinamomori, and Matsumoto Ranju, who was troubled by this, felt the fluctuations of Koiji's spiritual power in the previous big explosion and was surprised. "Hasn't he been obsessed with Rukia's execution all this time? How could it be ......" Ranju's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "He won't ......"

The anxious Ranju summoned a few patrolling Grim Reapers, and rushed to the place where Koiji was fighting. It's a pity that when they arrived, they only saw Koiji lying limply on the ground. "Quick! Send Vice Captain Asai to the fourth team! While beckoning a few people to help Lianji, Ranju looked up at the tall confession palace and sighed softly, "Alas, ......"

Ichigo and the others, who rushed all the way to the Confession Palace, met the first captain-level enemy of the trip, the captain of the eleventh team, Kenpachi Kanki!
