Chapter 633: Elegance is the privilege of the strong
Hearing Lu Li's words, Bai Ya's eyes were calm, he just looked at Lu Li silently, "Lianci, arrest the people, and withdraw the team."

Obviously, he ignored Lu Li's confusing words. From his spiritual pressure detection, the strength of this masked man was not very high and he could be easily defeated by the vice-captain Abarai Renji.

He would not accept meaningless provocations from his enemies, nor would he be confused by strange words.

Seeing the captain's order, Renji couldn't refuse it, so he walked straight towards Kurosaki Ichigo and wanted to capture the seriously injured Ichigo and put them in jail later.

Just as he leaned over to touch Ichigo, his pupils suddenly shrank because Kurosaki Ichigo disappeared in front of him.

When he looked up again, he saw that Ichigo had appeared next to Inoue Orihime, being supported by the masked man in black with one hand.

"Ichigo, now you know how much you are worth, right?"

As Lu Li spoke, Huidao activated, and with a flash of light, the injuries on Kurosaki Ichigo's body healed rapidly.

Ichigo looked at his master in surprise. He didn't expect that his master would give such a profound reply, and healed his fatal wound in an instant.

"Master, I..."

Ichigo wanted to ask for another fight, but he also knew that the gap between him and Byakuya Kuchiki was too big. The opponent didn't even use the Shikai, but defeated him with ordinary cutting techniques.

At this moment, Bai Ya, who had just turned around and left, stopped walking. When he turned around and looked at Lu Li again, his eyes became more serious.

He didn't expect that he had misjudged the opponent. The speed of the instant step performed by the masked man in black was definitely not at the level his spiritual pressure should be at. It only meant that the other party had a sophisticated means of controlling spiritual pressure and deceived his perception.

Judging from the fact that Renci couldn’t react, the black-clothed man’s strength was probably at the captain level.

"Adjust your mentality and take it one step at a time. I think this red-haired kid is quite suitable to be your opponent."

Lu Li patted Ichigo's shoulder and said encouragingly.

Then he walked to Inoue Orihime, raised his hand to grab the edge of the six-rod light prison, and with a slight force, he broke the binding.

During Lu Li's series of actions, Kuchiki Byakuya did not stop him, but just watched quietly with his hand on the hilt of the Senbonzakura sword at his waist.

"team leader."

Lianci reminded that this man in black was not simple, and he might be the most dangerous and troublesome person in the journey.

"Renji, I'll leave Kurosaki Ichigo to you."

Byakuya said in a calm voice. Even though he had determined that the other party might be a strong enemy, he would not lose his calm and composure.

"You hit me hard. He is your nephew after all. If you kill him, I will definitely kill you."

Lu Li said with a smile, he had no intention of revealing his identity in Soul Society, but seeing old acquaintances, he couldn't help but want to chat a little more.

Anyway, after rescuing Rukia, he can just leave Soul Society. If Squad Zero comes in a big way to arrest people, he might have to kill the people in charge in advance.

"It has been like this since just now. You seem to want to shake my heart and talk to me in the tone of that man."

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes gradually turned cold, "But I don't know any guy who hides his head and shows his tail."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant. The instant step he had trained from playing hide-and-seek with Yoruichi since childhood, plus the force-generating techniques taught by his teacher, made his instant step speed among the top captains. It was so fast that even the vice-captain could not see his figure clearly.

In an instant, his figure appeared behind Lu Li, with his right hand drawing his sword, and the Senbonzakura was about to be unsheathed.

"Master, young..."

When Ichigo Kurosaki saw Byakuya appear behind Lu Li, he shouted in surprise and thought that Rukia's brother was too fast.

But at this moment, he found that his Senbonzakura encountered resistance when it was unsheathed. There was a hand pressing on the end of the hilt, and that hand came out from behind his side.

"Xiaobai, your Shunpo is still so elegant, but I should have told you that the Shinigami cannot avoid the enemy's spiritual pressure detection when using Shunpo. The so-called elegant Shunpo is only used to bully those who are far inferior to you."

Lu Li placed one hand on the end of Bai Ya's hilt and spoke earnestly.

Swah——

Bai Ya's figure suddenly disappeared again, and appeared behind Lu Li on the right, trying to draw his sword and cut the man in front of him again.

But although he successfully drew his sword this time, he only cut an illusion.

A calm voice sounded behind him, "When facing an enemy who is as strong as you, or even stronger than you, you should focus on speed rather than elegance."

Byakuya still had no expression on his face, but his eyes became a little colder. He turned and looked at Lu Li, "Is it fun to imitate my teacher's tone? I admit that your instant step is very fast, but it was a wrong decision for you to force your way into the Soul Society."

As he spoke, the knife in his hand began to transform into cherry blossoms, "Scatter, Senbonzakura."

When Kurosaki Ichigo saw this scene, his expression immediately became solemn. He still remembered the power of the other party using the Shikai, which could transform the blade into billions of cherry blossom-like sharp blades. It was extremely fast and had great lethality, making it impossible to defend against.

"Master, be careful, his Zanpakutō release is very powerful!"

Kurosaki Ichigo reminded loudly. Although he was also amazed at the speed of his master's instant movement that was able to suppress Byakuya, that was when Byakuya had not yet achieved Shikai.

Now Byakuya is no longer playing around with Shunpo, but is using the release ability of his Zanpakutō, and it is obvious that he is serious about it.

"Focus on your own enemies. If you can't even beat this red-haired guy named Renji, why are you going to save Rukia?"

Lu Li said, "Don't forget, I'm just your navigation."

Lu Li's words made Kurosaki Ichigo calm down. He realized that he had previously made a bold statement asking his master not to take action in Soul Society. Saving Rukia was their responsibility. He was already very grateful that Lu Li could help navigate and lead the way.

But Ichigo didn't expect that he was chopped down by Byakuya shortly after entering the Soul Society, and in the end he had to be rescued by his master, which made him feel very ashamed.

"Kurosaki-san, be careful!"

At this time, Inoue Orihime shouted a warning because she saw Renji rushing over with a sword in hand.

boom--

Ichigo Kurosaki drew his sword in time and collided with Renji's Jabimaru. Both sides retreated away from each other under the impact and entered a state of confrontation again.

In fact, both of them were a little absent-minded at this time. Ichigo Kurosaki was thinking about the duel between Lu Li and Byakuya, while Renci's mood was more complicated.

On the one hand, he had no idea that Rukia would be sentenced to death. Now that he knew it, he really wanted to rescue Rukia, but the responsibilities of his position and the captain's orders made him feel conflicted.

Especially as Rukia's brother, his captain Byakuya Kuchiki didn't say anything, he really didn't understand.

So after the two of them fought with swords, their minds were not on their opponents at all, but were subconsciously attracted by the fight between Kuchiki Byakuya and Lu Li.

Byakuya released his Zanpakutō, and the Thousand Sakura scattered and turned into cherry blossoms that seemed to be dancing in the wind and rushed towards Lu Li.

Seeing the tidal sea of ​​cherry blossoms swallowing Lu Li, Renci felt complicated, while Ichigo shouted in shock: "Master!" Seeing this, Byakuya was about to put away his sword, but at this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly.

Because he didn't see clearly how the other party escaped from the Senbonzakura, this wave of instant movement was silent and graceful, and even avoided his spiritual pressure detection.

“Elegance is the privilege of the strong.”

Lu Li's voice came from nearby, "Your speed should be better than this, right? Come, let me see how much you have improved."

Swah——

Bai Ya's figure disappeared on the spot, and Lu Li only held the captain's white cloak in his hand.

Byakuya used the Shihouin family's secret instant movement technique, Kuchan, and moved his body to the front of Lu Li, keeping a certain distance between them.

"who are you?"

The thousand-year-long facial paralysis on Baiya's face was cured a little. He frowned slightly and looked at the man in black in front of him.

"I am just a defector who is not convenient to reveal my identity in Soul Society."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji were stunned watching the duel between the two.

Ichigo didn't expect that his master was so strong that he could fight back and forth with the captain of the Gotei 13, while the more knowledgeable Renji was surprised that their captain was suppressed at the instant step level.

Not only that, the man in black had been speaking to Byakuya in the tone of an elder, which made him feel very strange.

"you……"

Byakuya opened his mouth, an impossible guess emerged in his mind, and his mind was shaken for a moment.

The next moment, Lu Li appeared in front of Bai Zai, and placed his hand on Bai Zai's chest, "How many times have I told you? It's useless to actively distance yourself from an enemy who is much stronger than you? Moreover, you dare to be distracted in the battle?"

In the chill that he had not felt for a long time, Bai Ya moved quickly and controlled the Thousand Sakura to encircle Lu Li at the same time.

boom--

This time Lu Li did not dodge, but raised his hand and swung it horizontally. The powerful spiritual pressure directly defeated the storm of Senbonzakura's sharp blades, and it floated in the sky like a gentle cherry blossom rain.

This was the first time that Kurosaki Ichigo and his companions saw Lu Li take action and engage in a head-on fight with the enemy. The visual impact and psychological shock brought them a double surprise.

"So strong..."

Even Inoue Orihime, who didn't know much about fighting, murmured, and it was obvious that this was not something that ordinary people could do.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji were so shocked that they were speechless, thinking to themselves, how can this be called being strong?

Renji has never seen anyone who can defeat Captain Kuchiki Senbonzakura with bare hands!
Ichigo Kurosaki was once killed instantly by this move, so he felt that his master was extremely powerful.

"Swastika-Senbonzakura Kageyan!"

After being continuously suppressed by Shunpo and having his Senbonzakura defeated, Byakuya did not dare to delay any longer and directly used Bankai.

After the Shinigami gains Bankai, the output power of his spiritual pressure increases, which is reflected externally as a certain increase in his attributes. In addition, the spiritual pressure is released without any concealment, which can be directly felt by the surrounding Gotei members.

Byakuya's powerful spiritual pressure made many low-level soldiers breathless. They looked at the battle street in horror, "This is the spiritual pressure of the captain level. Could it be that the captain has a Bankai!?"

"Is there anyone in this travel disaster who can make the captain fight with all his strength?"

The Gotei soldiers were very surprised, but few of them rushed over because they believed that the captain of the Gotei 13 was the strongest. It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to breathe under this spiritual pressure, let alone help? They would only get in the way.

After the other captains sensed this spiritual pressure, they had no intention of rushing over here.

The main thing is that you are both captains. If you go to the area that the other party is in charge of to help, wouldn’t that be looking down on him?
There were only five travelers who broke into the Soul Society. If they were discovered by any other side, a group of captains would have to go over to support them, and the fighting power of the Gotei 13 would become a joke.

At this time, in the area near the Palace of Confession, Byakuya's Thousand Sakura were overwhelming, surging like a sea of ​​cherry blossoms, and they were countless sharp blades.

Feeling this enormous spiritual pressure and looking at these endless sharp blades, Ichigo Kurosaki was shocked and felt deeply powerless. He did not expect that the gap between him and the real captain of the Shinigami would be so huge.

Thinking about the fact that Ishida had previously taken the initiative to stop a strong man who was suspected to be the captain, he became very worried.

"I don't know why you're pretending to be that man."

Byakuya stood in the center of the sea of ​​cherry blossoms and said in a low voice, "But even if you are him, after two hundred years, you are no longer my opponent."

Byakuya seemed to have guessed the identity of the man in front of him, but there was no respect in his words, only a sense of coldness.

"Really? Just based on the Bankai you developed?"

Lu Li looked up at the gorgeous sea of ​​cherry blossoms and said, "As a funding warrior, it's quite strong, but I'm afraid it's just for show and not for use."

The next moment, a sea of ​​cherry blossoms surged in, crashing towards Lu Li like a tsunami, blocking all his escape routes.

"Master!"

Ichigo Kurosaki exclaimed. He couldn't imagine what would happen after being surrounded by such a huge number of sharp blades and the Bankai ability that he had never heard of.

boom--

In the center of the cherry blossom storm, the man in black waved his hand horizontally, and the powerful spiritual pressure directly broke the cherry blossom cage, and his figure appeared.

"The quantity is sufficient, but the spiritual pressure is not condensed and sharp enough."

Lu Li commented, "But considering your age, you are strong enough."

"Stop talking like that guy."

Baiya seemed a little angry, and the sea of ​​Thousand Cherry Blossoms continued to hit Lu Li, but Lu Li was like a hard reef, and he stood firm no matter how he was hit.

Seeing Byakuya like this, Renji, who was familiar with him, was very surprised. He had never seen the captain angry before.

It’s better to say that ever since he met the captain, the other party has always had a expressionless face, a model of a cold and aloof male god, and you can hardly see any emotional fluctuations in him.

Although he felt that the captain's expression had not changed, his eyes and tone were very different from his usual state.

Who is the "that person" the captain is talking about? Why does the captain have such a big reaction?

Abarai Renji analyzed the conversation between the captain and the man in black, and he had a surprising guess in his mind.

Could it be that the legend is true?
Captain Kuchiki's master was the first captain to defect in Soul Society's history... Riku Kenpachi!?
