After winning the fight, Chōjirō came over excitedly and said, "Brother Yamabuki, I didn't know I was that powerful!"
"You think you're awesome by beating up a small gangster? Young man, you should have a long-term vision." Yamabuki brought his four teammates to the deeper part of Ryūgon District.
But once you enter this neighborhood, the hustle and bustle around you seems to have disappeared, and the entire neighborhood is dead silent.
The cries of a few crows from the sky seemed particularly harsh.
Before the four newcomers could react to what was happening, Yamabuki shouted in a low voice, "Everyone be on alert, something is happening."
Ryūgon District is also a rather chaotic neighborhood.
It is even harder to get these hooligans to quiet down on their own than to get a vegetable market to quiet down. But now, there is no sound in the entire block, only the cold wind blowing and the crows crying in the sky.
Where have all the people in this neighborhood gone?
Could it be that it was all eaten up by Hollows?
Yamabuki drew his sword directly, looking alert.
The four students didn't know what was going on, but seeing the instructor's alert look, they all drew their Zanpakuto.
"Brother Yamabuki...is something wrong?" Chōjirō asked cautiously.
Yamabuki pressed his lips lightly to ask them not to speak, then looked up at the sky and found that some crows in the sky were flying in one direction.
"Follow the crow!" Yamabuki whispered.
The five people followed the crow all the way to the border of the grass deer area, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they were almost frightened to death.
Corpse!
There are corpses everywhere!
This is not as simple as dozens or hundreds of bodies.
Everywhere you look, there are dead bodies piled up into a high mountain.
Finally, Chōjirō couldn't bear it anymore and vomited out his lunch. The other three team members' faces didn't look much better either.
Yamabuki discovered even more.
Because among these corpses, there are not only the bodies of Rukongai residents but also the bodies of Hollows. Yamabuki also saw Great Hollows and Adjuchas among them.
Judging from the wounds on these virtual bodies, they must have been killed in a head-on confrontation with a single blow.
And the residents of Rukongai were also killed with one blow. Looking at the knife wounds on these corpses, Yamabuki broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. What a sharp knife.
I can also kill Hollow instantly now, but even I can't kill an Adjuchas instantly?
Although Adjuchas of this era cannot transform into a Death God and his combat power is not as good as the later Espada, Adjuchas's reiatsu is truly at the captain level. Although he cannot defeat the captain in a head-on confrontation, he will not be killed instantly by a single sword!
Looking at the current Gotei 13, the only one who can kill Adjuchas with one sword is probably old man Yamamoto.
"Brother Yamabuki, look over here, there is the corpse of the god of death." Chōjirō shouted loudly.
Yamabuki hurried over and found a corpse dressed in aristocratic clothes among a pile of corpses. It seemed that it should be someone from the Central Room 46. How could these noble masters die here?
And it looks like he was also killed in one strike!
The knife had just been pulled out three inches, and there was no room for resistance at all.
"Instructor, what should we do now?" a newcomer asked nervously, fearing that there were monsters lurking around.
"Leave here immediately and report this matter to the team. Someone will come to deal with it later. Let's go!" Yamabuki said. Although he didn't know what kind of monster had piled up these corpses into a mountain, he knew that if a fight really broke out, he would definitely not be able to beat the other party.
His strength is much greater than it was at the beginning, but it will be a tough battle if he wants to defeat Adjuchas.
This was no longer something he could solve.
"Go, go quickly!" Yamabuki shouted.
The five people left here as quickly as possible.
After the five of them had left, someone suddenly moved among the mountain of corpses.
She was a gorgeous woman with long black hair. No one noticed her among the corpses. She had been staring at the five people since just now. The reason she didn't take action was that she felt that the five people were too weak and no one could be her match.
As if she didn't want to stay among the corpses, the woman stood up shakily, holding a blood-stained long knife in her hand, and continued to look for her ideal opponent.
"Before... a few people said they were nobles from the Central 46th Chamber... what else did they say? I can't remember clearly. I cut them down with my sword. I thought that nobles should be a little stronger than ordinary people, but they are indeed only a little stronger." The woman wiped the blood off the blade and muttered to herself, "Seireitei? There should be strong people in that place who can fight me right."
Through the reflection of the blade, the woman looked directly into her own lifeless eyes.
This world is so boring.
…
The five people left the Ryūgon area without stopping, not daring to stay for a moment. Only when they arrived at a populated area did Yamabuki breathe a sigh of relief.
He was not worried about a plague or something like that happening in Soul Society. In Soul Society, after a spirit dies, its soul will disintegrate into spirit particles and will not even pollute the environment.
Only captains with strong reiatsu cannot return to Soul Society naturally after death because the spirit particles in their bodies are too dense. They can only be forcibly suppressed in hell through soul burial.
Of course, there is no need to worry about this now, as the setting of hell will not unfold until at least a thousand years later.
"Instructor, what exactly happened there just now?" a new team member asked breathlessly.
"How should I know? I'm not omniscient. Anyway, when we get back, ask the captain to send someone to investigate." Yamabuki is well-versed in the art of kicking football, and he kicks anything he can't solve to the captain.
Yamabuki found a place to eat something and calm down.
He found a relatively luxurious building not far away.
"Hmm, what place is that? Is there anyone in Rukongai who can build a house like that?" asked Yamabuki.
A member of the team who was born in an aristocratic family nearby explained, "Instructor, that is the residence of the Shiba family, one of the five great noble families. Their family's situation is rather special. Although they are great nobles, they have always lived in Rukongai and mixed with the common people. It is simply a disgrace to the nobles..."
Before he could finish his words, the team member saw his instructor glaring at him coldly, which scared him so much that he quickly shut up.
Yamabuki remembered that on the day when he was negotiating with the Central 46th Office, the patriarch of the Shiba family also came. Should he go in and say hello?
At this moment, Yamabuki saw the patriarch of the Shiba family seeing off a guest, and the most important thing was that he actually knew this guest.
It turned out to be the Batsu'unsai sisters, Qianwu and Batsu'unsai.
