Chapter 382 Infernal Affairs

Chapter 382 Infernal Affairs
Below the First Squad’s barracks, at the bottom of the Maou Underground Prison.

There are currently no prisoners on this floor, and it has been specially authorized for use by Lu Li and others today.

The Central 46th Office was reluctant about this matter, but the captain-in-chief said that he would supervise the battle, saying that this was a necessary training test during the reorganization of the Gotei 13. The group of sages had no choice but to approve it.

Everything in this world is relative. For example, the decision of Central Room 46 seems very strong, and even the captains cannot refute it.

But this rule does not apply to Yamamoto Genryusai. As the strongest Shinigami in a thousand years and the backbone of the Gotei 13, even the Central 46th Chamber has to give him face.

To be honest, Lu Li felt that Captain Yamamoto was just a person who cared about the overall situation and followed the rules. If it were someone else, he might have fallen out with the Central Office 46 long ago.

"It's really open, a great place to fight."

Kenpachi Zaraki sighed after entering this floor. He was not very educated, but he felt that the building materials here were very special and not easy to be damaged. They could also withstand extremely strong spiritual pressure shocks and would not be sensed by the outside world.

After he followed Lu Li and Unohana into this floor, he didn't walk far before he saw an old man leaning on a cane in the dim light.

The moment he saw the other party, Kenpachi Zaraki became excited instinctively, because he could not feel the other party's spiritual pressure, but he could smell the scent of a strong man.

Sure enough, the captain did not lie to him. The Gotei 13 is full of strong men, and the old man in front of him must be stronger than the captain.

"Lu Li, Lie, you should all know the rules. You are not allowed to disclose anything you see on this floor."

Captain Yamamoto stood there like a stabilizing force.

There were originally several prisoners imprisoned on this floor, but when they were transferred, no prisoner dared to think of escaping.

Just because this old man was standing here, the end of the prison break was to be wiped out in an instant.

Lu Li and Unohana were brought down by Quebu, who used a special ghost method that allowed them to pass directly to this floor without passing through other floors or coming into contact with other prisoners.

The Maou Underground Prison is such a strict place. Even the upper floors are full of dangerous and serious criminals.

The Soul Society has a long history. Since the creation of the Three Realms, there have been five great nobles. They have continued their history for millions of years. The establishment of the Maou Underground Prison even preceded the Seireitei.

Over the long years, countless talented masters have emerged from Soul Society, and a considerable number of them are imprisoned in large prisons.

If there were no extraordinary masters like the captain-general in charge of Soul Society, just releasing these people would be enough to destroy Soul Society. That would be a force even more terrifying than the previous Quincy army.

Therefore, unless it is necessary, the Maou Underground Prison does not allow visiting or other uses.

Central Room 46 approved its use, but if Lu Li and Unohana fought on other floors, they would be charged with serious crimes.

"What a gloomy place, is this the Infernal Affairs..."

Lu Li sighed, the atmosphere on this floor made people feel very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the battle arranged today, it would normally be pitch dark without a single light.

The Maou Underground Prison is divided into eight levels. In Lu Li's understanding, they correspond to the eight hot hells in Buddhist scriptures. The lowest level, Avici, is described in the ancient books he is familiar with.

That is a very large and vast space. The souls that enter it cannot escape. The Avici Hell is located under the Southern Continent, with an area of ​​about 300,000 square kilometers.

This is also reflected in the world of Death. Before entering the eighth level of the Infernal Zone, they were in front of a bronze door and had to unlock it with a key before entering.

Rather than saying that this is a one-story dungeon-like building, it is better to say that it is a different space. People without a key will never be able to enter.

Similarly, without the key from outside to open the door, the person inside will never be able to get out.

There is not a single gap in the Infinite Layer, and the space is infinite. Lu Li asked Unohana about it, but the other party didn't know when or how this place was created.

Being locked up in this silent, dark, and empty place for a long time would be enough to drive a person insane.

This made Lu Li admire Sosuke in the original novel a little bit. His whole body was sealed, including his ears, eyes and mouth. He was imprisoned in such a place for a long time and still able to maintain his sanity. This is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

"Were there no prisoners held here before?"

Lu Li asked the captain curiously.

"Have you forgotten what I just said? You are not allowed to tell others what you see and hear here after you leave. So what if you know it?"

The captain looked serious and did not satisfy Lu Li's curiosity.

Lu Li shrugged, knowing that there might have been prisoners imprisoned here before, but they were temporarily transferred. They must be very dangerous, or they might have violated the taboos of Soul Society. The nobles and the Central Forty-Six Chambers did not want them to contact the outside world, and even information could not be transmitted out.

For people like Sosuke, their strength is one thing, but their thoughts are more dangerous to the Forty-Six Chambers and the nobles, and they are considered thought criminals.

"It's been a while since I let go of the fight. How should I start?"

Unohana walked into the venue, untied the braids on her chest one by one, and the gentle aura on her body spread out with her long hair and dissipated into nothingness.

Lu Li walked to the opposite side of Unohana, stretched his muscles, and prepared to enjoy this showdown of top skills.

He knew clearly that Captain Unohana was in a restricted state back then, and had not even been able to display one ten-thousandth of her strength as assessed by him. Unohana in her prime should be able to display her skills of the eight thousand schools more comprehensively.

Kenpachi Zaraki was brought by Suzube to the captain's side. He looked at Lu Li and Unohana excitedly, not daring to miss any details of the duel. As a battle fanatic like him, he would never miss anything related to battle. Even if he was just watching the battle, he wanted to see the whole process.

However, the old man standing next to him interrupted his concentration and said, "Is this the newcomer that Lu Li brought back from Rukongai?"

"His name is Kenpachi Zaraki, and he is a very talented young man."

Suzube introduced that he was also very old, so in his eyes, Zangmu was just a young man, and of course Lu Li was as young as a child.

"It's really impressive. Although he has not received any systematic training, he already has such a strong spiritual pressure and his foundation is also very solid."

The captain-general examined Kenpachi Zaraki and said, "It's just that his slashing technique is a little lacking."

"Oh? Old man, you said my beheading skills are bad?"

Zeraki was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard this. His sword had killed countless guys who claimed to be strong. How could his sword skills be bad?
These days, Lu Li always said that his fighting skills were not good enough and asked him to learn the art of beheading. He didn't know where he was lacking. And this old man in front of him, who had never seen him fight, said that his beheading skills were poor. How did he know that?

"From your gait, movements, and the way your arms move, I can tell you don't know how to cut."

Captain Yamamoto said, "Didn't Lu Li teach you? Or did you not learn well?"

Lu Li and Unohana also noticed the movement from Captain Yamamoto, but neither of them interrupted and just focused their attention on their opponents.

Lu Li hadn't specifically been teaching Zaraki the slashing technique these past few days, but rather helping Zaraki get back into combat form, allowing him to unleash a lot of his potential, as well as teaching him the details and basic footwork of combat.

Once Zaraki's foundation is stable and his potential is released, learning the slashing technique will be much faster.

In the original work, Captain Yamamoto only taught Kenpachi Zaraki the one-day slashing technique, but if Zaraki used it seriously, he would instantly crush the 50th Blade.

According to the Central 46th Room, Zaraki's potential power is too great, and he only needs to fight randomly to have the strength of a captain.

If he were to learn the art of beheading, he would become a huge threat. Considering his mischievous personality, if he rebelled, no one except the captain would be able to stop him.

Therefore, the Central Forty-Sixth Room had been preventing Kenpachi Zaraki from learning the slashing technique until the Thousand Year Blood War arc, when they approved under pressure and allowed Unohana to teach Zaraki the slashing technique.

But although it was said to be teaching the art of killing, in reality it was just a life-and-death battle, which allowed Zaraki to unleash his potential and learn Shikai and Bankai.

During this process, although Zaraki's sword skills improved slightly, it cannot be said that he had "learned" it, and when he fought, he mostly just chopped and chopped based on instinct.

He was completely unable to bring out the level of his special combat power that Yhwach should have. Theoretically, Kenpachi Zaraki should have a higher upper limit as long as he can seriously learn the slashing technique and maximize his power.

The reason why Lu Li brought Kenpachi Zaraki here was that he wanted to let the captain-general take care of this guy before the Central 46th Division noticed him. After he left, he would take over the 11th Division and would be the backbone of the Soul Society's combat power.

Oh, he wasn't making it difficult for Sosuke, because essentially their most difficult enemies were not the Shinigami.

"Oh? Captain Unohana, what does this mean?"

Lu Li saw that Unohana made a starting stance but did not draw her sword, and asked with interest.

"You may not know this, but a thousand years ago, as the first Kenpachi, I called myself the Yachiryu."

Unohana said, "I believe I know all the schools and techniques of beheading in the world. Could it be that Mr. Lu thinks I only know how to behead?"

Hearing this, Lu Li inserted the Demon Prisoner that had been unsheathed for half an inch back into the scabbard, with a smile on his face, "As an afterthought, this is a really good start."

As he spoke, there was a loud explosion behind him. The ghost storm transformed into two mad dragons, breaking through his Death Armor. After activating the Instant Roar and Ghost Escape Armor, Lu Li's speed reached the peak in an instant.

The next moment, his figure appeared above and to the side of Unohana, and he kicked towards Unohana's head.

Unohana responded quickly as well. She slightly turned sideways, raised her hand, turned her wrist, and used the force to grab Lu Li's ankle. At the same time, she released a burst of power and spun Lu Li away.

Her steps were light, but her speed was not slow at all. She flashed and appeared under Lu Li's body in mid-air. She turned her palm into a fist and hit Lu Li's spine.

Lu Li quickly flipped in the air, and while dodging the attack, he used the gap between his arm and body to clamp Unohana's wrist, trying to break the opponent's arm with the force of rotation.

But Mao Nohua went with the flow, her body spinning lightly towards Lu Li, while her other hand reached out and grabbed Lu Li's throat.

Lu Li had no choice but to let go, and both of them were thrown out at the same time due to inertia, stepping on two stalactite-like pillars.

The stalactites under Lu Li's feet exploded due to the huge force, but Unohana moved as lightly as a fluttering butterfly. The figures of both parties turned into streams of light that ordinary people could not see clearly at a high speed, and the airflow caused by the collision blew the clothes of the spectators.

The two masters collided and separated at high speed in the battle. Every move contained countless strategies, and each of them chose the best way to deal with it.

Lu Li's eyes were filled with excitement during the battle. He should have thought that since Unohana dared to call herself the master of Eight Thousand Schools and mastered all the schools in the world, then she must be good at more than just killing techniques.

Strictly speaking, the other party is a martial arts master like himself, who knows everything and has mastered all kinds of moves.

It's just that as a god of death, when facing off against an enemy in a life-and-death situation, the most common technique he uses is the slashing technique that relies on his Zanpakutō.

In a blink of an eye, the two had exchanged thousands of moves, but no one was injured, and each of them used some means to dodge or resolve the attacks.

Kenpachi Zaraki, who was outside the venue, was staring with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect that in addition to using a knife to chop people, he could also exert such a strong combat power with just fists and feet.

The strength of these two opponents he was targeting was beyond his imagination. The moves they used in each confrontation were so exquisite that even a reckless man like him could see their extraordinaryness.

"Watch carefully. We are not asking you to learn their fighting techniques. We are asking you to watch their footwork and the timing of their attacks."

The captain-general instructed Kenpachi, "You can't defeat a strong enemy just by chopping him with a crude sword."

After listening to Chojiro's brief account of Kenpachi's deeds, he knew that this was another rare gem, but it was a pity that it was discovered a little late.

If Kenpachi Zaraki could have been discovered and taught by him at a very young age like Lu Li, perhaps he would have become the strongest god of death besides him by now.

However, the teaching is not over yet. Kenpachi Zaraki still has a strong foundation. As long as his potential is discovered, he will still be a powerful captain.

boom--

As the two talked, the battle in the battlefield became increasingly intense.

Lu Li's fist collided with Unohana's palm wind, and the power of spiritual pressure and martial arts moves burst out, causing them to be pushed back by the storm.

"No wonder the little girl from the Shifengyuan family is no match for you. Even Lu Jun is impeccable in the White Fighting Field..."

Unohana said with emotion, her long hair spread out, with part of it falling in front of her, making her look a little more gloomy.

Her hand reached for the nipples on her waist, "Let's stop here and see how much my former student has grown."
