Chapter 664: The Decline of Squad Zero
"Are you trying to say that you are just being kind and letting Inoue train here? To face this thousand-year bloody battle?"

Lu Li asked back, "If that's what you heard, do you think it's reasonable? Instead of strengthening the captains of the Gotei, or strengthening qualified juniors like Kurosaki Ichigo, why are you training and strengthening a Fullbring holder with auxiliary abilities?"

Hikifune Kiryu felt choked, she felt that what Lu Li said made sense.

She was promoted to Squad Zero more than a hundred years ago. She had dealt with Lu Li a lot 200 years ago. When Lu Li was tried by the Central th Room, she even helped him secretly, so they had a good relationship.

After Lu Li's disappearance, the relationship between the Gotei 13 and the Soul King Palace became very tense for a time, so her promotion was also a big deal, with mixed opinions among the team members.

But in the end she agreed to the promotion, mainly because she wanted to communicate and learn from her senior Shudra Senju Maruta, and thus became the fifth member of Squad Zero.

"We, the Zero Squad, are here to guard the Soul King. There seems to be no reason for us to explain too much to a sinner like you, right?"

Shudra spoke up, "In my opinion, the person standing here is just a traitor who broke into the Soul King Palace. He is not a captain of the Gotei, right, Kiryu?"

She was reminding Hikifune Kiryu to be mindful of his own position and not to be shaken by Lu Li's words.

Xiutara had medium-length black hair with side bangs, and wore intricate golden hair accessories and a white shawl with buckles. He had a handsome face, pale skin, and spoke in an elegant voice.

As she spoke, she walked forward, and the six skeleton arms behind her began to dance slowly, obviously not intending to explain too much to Lu Li.

She was promoted to a member of Squad Zero very early on, was the inventor of the Shinigami suit, and was an important contributor to the construction of the Shinigami system. She has a very high seniority, and she has also long since established her position as a member of Squad Zero.

All members of Squad Zero knew the truth about the Spirit King, so Shudra could not tolerate a dangerous person like Lu Li to continue causing trouble in the Spirit King Palace. If the Spirit King was affected, it would become a major event of the century.

"Tsk, after all, we have to take action."

Qilin Temple spat out the straw he was holding in his mouth and said seriously, "Well, I was annoyed with this kid two hundred years ago, so today is a good opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Before the grass stalks fell to the ground, his figure disappeared from the spot and suddenly appeared beside Lu Li.

His Huidao and Instant Body Techniques were both unique, and he believed that in a close combat, even if he could not capture Lu Li directly, he could also create opportunities for others.

"The solution to the swastika—the body of Sutrakara stabs Luotsuji!"

Shudra used her Bankai without hesitation, because she didn't think Lu Li was an opponent that she could defeat by just using her Shikai.

"Boom, boom, click, click, boom, click. Once the thread is removed, all the flowers become an eye. If you look directly into this eye, both eyes will be destroyed... Evildoers, look at it with your eyes wide open. There are thousands of threads and they are all in an orderly manner. This machine is the Six-Color Rune Machine of Death."

The Sutra performed a long chant, during which the entire three realms could feel the spiritual vibration.

A huge door appeared behind her, and then Senjumaru's arms began to connect to the door, accompanied by many red curtains that appeared, each with a different style.

These curtains were connected together, turning the battlefield of the Phoenix Palace into an environment like a stage, surrounding Lu Li.

"Interesting, can I use Bankai directly?"

Lu Li looked at the giant Bankai that trapped him, felt the spiritual pressure on Senjumaru, and roughly understood why he had been feeling a sense of disobedience since he ascended to the Spirit King Palace.

To be honest, when he first met Kirinji two hundred years ago, he felt that Kirinji's strength was just so-so, but he did not underestimate Team Zero. After all, he knew that the four people in Team Zero, except the monk, were all subject to restrictions.

From this point we can see that the so-called royal spy of Squad Zero is essentially a one-man show. He himself has no restrictions, but he says that other members of Squad Zero are too powerful. If they are released at will, it will affect the operation of the three realms.

In fact, this reason is quite ridiculous. After all, no matter how strong Shudra and others are, they can never be stronger than Hyoshube Ichibei.

The reason why there is such a thing as the Blood Alliance Seal is that Hyoshubu Ichibei is too suspicious and does not fully trust the other members of the Zero Squad, so he added limiters to them.

In this way, it would be impossible for the four of them to unite and fight him. Even if they wanted to use all their strength, three of them would have to commit suicide first before the remaining one could use his full strength.

When Lu Li had fought with Wang Yue of Nimeiya before, he felt that Wang Yue's strength seemed a little too strong. Although it was true that he was completely defeated by him, Wang Yue's overall strength was already far beyond that of the captains of the Gotei.

Since Wang Yue was killed instantly because of his own stupidity, Lu Li didn't really notice the weirdness. He didn't care since he was killed instantly by him anyway.

Now that he saw Shudra perform Bankai directly, he understood that the seal of the blood alliance had been lifted. As for how it was lifted without any injury, Lu Li guessed that it might be related to Orihime's ability.

"Boy, you shouldn't have invaded the Soul King Palace at this time. You only saw the tip of the iceberg of the Zero Squad's strength two hundred years ago."

The voice of Qilin Temple also came from the periphery. Seeing that Lu Li was hit by Xiuduoluo's move, they thought that the battle was over.

Shudra is the one with the strongest pure combat ability among them. The spiritual shock caused by her Bankai will interfere with the three realms, which shows how powerful her spiritual pressure is.

In his opinion, even if Yhwach from a thousand years ago were to face off against Shudra today, he might not be able to come out on top.

Lu Li was just a young god of death who had lived for hundreds of years. There was no way he could deal with Senjumaru.

"What an amazing spiritual pressure..."

Lu Li sighed in the world of the loom. He saw Shudra's comprehensive attributes, which were incredibly high, at 144 points. Such strength was indeed enough to interfere with the world.

But to say that it will affect the operation of the Three Realms is a bit of an exaggeration. In terms of influence, it is far inferior to the captain-general's Ryujin Jakka.

"Before I weave you into cloth, you still have time to repent, but in the end you only spend it sighing?"

Shudra's voice was full of elegance. She was very confident in her abilities. After a thousand years, she once again exerted her full strength. She did not think that this young man, Lu Li, could escape from her Bankai.

"repent?"

Lu Li looked at the intricately woven cloth and said, "That's what a sinner would do, right? Does it mean that I'm committing an unforgivable sin by stepping into the Spirit King's Palace?"

"How pitiful! Since you are so stubborn, I can only send you back to the afterlife."

As Shudara said this, he manipulated the Bankai loom to let Lu Li go through the abilities of each weaving world, and after going through all the disasters, he would weave it into cloth.

She first targeted Lu Li's eyes in the world of 'A Thousand Flowers Become Eyes', wanting to destroy Lu Li's weird-looking eyes, and then let Lu Li repent in the darkness.

"Interesting ability, but just too gimmicky."

Lu Li commented in the Bankai world, and then slowly unsheathed the Demon Prisoner at his waist, "Bankai - Demon Arrives!"

Along with the release of the imprisoned demon, a large amount of purple-black mist rushed out. The evil intent mixed with the purple mist and impacted the interior of Shutara Bankai, breaking all the cloth into pieces.

"It's useless. Your Bankai can indeed cause great damage to people, but my cloth is endless." Shudra said, and the loom world turned again, wanting to burn Lu Li with flames.

But the next moment, what shocked the members of Squad Zero was that Lu Li was walking on the waves in the sea of ​​fire without any signs of burns.

Then, he swung his sword, sweeping away all the flames and cloth strips with the force of a hundred rivers, and then swung his sword forward to cut.

The sword's power was unparalleled, and the world became clear for a moment.

Shudra's woven world was violently broken apart by this sword. This was something the people in Squad Zero had never imagined.

"You are all old Death Gods. Don't you understand that mechanisms are useless in the face of absolute power?"

Lu Li looked at the surprised expressions of several people, and rushed forward with the purple mist of Bankai, while endless strips of cloth were chasing him from behind, but he was always just one step away.

Just as he passed by Shudra, the strips of cloth behind him seemed to have lost their driving force and all fell down. The scraps of cloth in the air withered like colorful snowflakes.

Shudra's slender white neck was cut by the giant blade of the demon prisoner, and there was a bit of surprise on her beautiful face. She didn't expect that Lu Li could break her Bankai so easily, and she didn't expect that she would be killed instantly by a single sword.

Lu Li swung his sword with blood, and turned to look at Qilin Temple, "Why are you looking at me like that? Weren't you the first to attack? Do you think I'm a good god of death if I just sit there and wait to die?"

"Land from!"

Qilin Temple rushed up angrily, holding a large soup spoon used in the bathhouse, and smashed it on Lu Li's head.

The next moment, his attack missed and he fell to the ground, and his entire chest was thrown away, bleeding profusely.

Kirinji instinctively wanted to use his strongest Kaido to heal his body, but he discovered in despair that, as recorded in the intelligence, Kaido was useless after being hit by Lu Li's Zanpakutō.

The knife did not kill him on the spot, but the power of the evil spirit rushed around in his body, causing a large amount of corrosive damage to erupt inside his body. He lost his life as he fell forward to the ground.

"Captain Yezhou, you have done me a favor. Move aside. I don't want to fight you."

Lu Li glanced at Yizhou Kiryu, the giant demon-imprisoning blade in his hand was still dripping with blood, and his murderous intent was so unparalleled that Yizhou Kiryu instinctively took a step back.

"Captain Lu, it's not too late to turn back now."

Hikifune Kiryu persuaded with a complicated expression. She knew that she could not stop Lu Li. In the Zero Squad, she was the weakest in terms of combat ability.

"Turn back? And become a wanted criminal in all three realms?"

Lu Li said as he passed by Hikari Kiryuu, "Now that I have come this far, the rules of the Three Realms should be changed."

Hikifune Kiryu's face changed when she heard this. She originally thought that Lu Li was only here to help Kurosaki Ichigo find Inoue and forge a sword, but who would have thought that Lu Li actually wanted to overthrow the Three Realms! ?

"You...you really want to!?"

Hikifune Kiryu was so shocked by the horrible guess in his mind that he was speechless. His hand subconsciously pressed on his Zanpakutō, hesitating whether to take action.

"An unstable world built on human sticks, a corrupt aristocratic system, the incompetent Central 46, and the Zero Squad that sits on the clouds and does nothing..."

As Lu Li walked upwards in the air, he said, "In my opinion, it's no longer necessary."

"But didn't you say before that you wanted to deal with Yhwach!?"

Hikifune Kiryu shouted loudly behind Lu Li, "Is that just a lie?"

"Captain Hikifune, you misunderstood. I never told you to deal with Yhwach. I was talking about why you didn't go down to deal with him."

Lu Li didn't look back, "Of course, if he gets in my way, I'll kill him."

"What's the difference between what you're going to do now and what Yhwach did!?"

Hikifune Kiryu did not take any action, but he asked loudly from below.

"the difference?"

Lu Li glanced back at Hikari Kiryu and said, "The difference is that I will make the world better now, instead of destroying it all and starting over again."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze forward and saw the figure standing at the edge of the Spirit King's bedroom at the top of the Spirit King's Palace.

A tall, strong and slightly fat bald man was looking down at Lu Li. He had very thick eyebrows, a chest-length beard, and a wide nose.

The outer layer is a white wide haori, the lining is still the Shiba-style, and a large crimson rosary hangs around his neck, but his temperament does not look like that of a monk at all.

His red pupils reflected Lu Li's face, as if he was looking down at an ant.

"This world is so strange. As the saying goes, winners are kings and losers are bandits. The rules and history are written by the victors..."

The monk in white had a smile on his face. "However, there are too many people who overestimate their own abilities and think they can ascend to heaven and become kings. Little do they know that the end that awaits them is just falling into the dust."

He put his hands in his sleeves, smiling warmly, but his eyes were a little sinister.

Obviously, he saw Lu Li killing several other members of Squad Zero, which made him unhappy.

"Why don't you rescue them?"

Lu Li did not respond to the monk's question, but asked, "Is it because in your opinion, the other members of Team Zero are also ants?"

"What a sharp-tongued little fellow! As long as I am in charge of this palace, there will be no chaos in the world. Guarding the Soul King Palace is the duty of Squad Zero. They are just doing their job. How can I leave my post without permission?"

As the monk spoke, he pulled his hand out of his sleeve and turned to walk towards the direction of the Spirit King's bedroom, seemingly not caring at all that Lu Li was about to break into the ultimate place of the Three Realms.

He is a character who existed in the chaotic world before the establishment of the Three Realms. He coexisted with the Spirit King in the same era and was knowledgeable. Although Lu Li's methods and strength were good, in his opinion, they could not shake the foundation of the world.

The blood seals of the other members of the Zero Squad have been broken, and he had no intention of helping them. If even the four members of the Zero Squad who could exert their full strength could not do anything to the invaders, then he felt that there was no need for such a Zero Squad to exist.
