Chapter 220: Meeting of Successive Kenpachi
The order in hell is extremely fragile.

Although the ancestors of the five great nobles were all extremely powerful.

But for the souls in hell, it is extremely difficult just to survive.

Not to mention, the laws of hell also have some self-awareness and can appoint jailers on their own. Even if the five noble ancestors controlled the Avici Hell with their own powerful strength, as long as the souls living in it want to continue like in the spirit world, they will instinctively fight. Therefore, hell is extremely chaotic, not to mention that those who can enter hell are not good people.

They are all bad guys.

Since Xia Mu came to this Avici Hell, all he saw along the way was fighting.

Apart from this, the biggest feeling is that the land is vast and the population is sparse.

The environment in hell is harsh and the space is extremely vast. It often takes a long time for one or two souls to live in hell. They often look like neither human nor ghost. It can be seen that except for those strong ones, this is a paradise where their lives can continue in disguise, but for the rest of the beings living in hell, this is not a good place. It is worthy of the name of hell and is a well-deserved purgatory on earth.

Xia Mu had no intention of provoking these guys, and even less intention of fighting happily in hell.

After all, he is just a passer-by and this place does not belong to him.

However, I have to say that there are really a lot of familiar people in hell.

After walking for a while, Xia Mu came to an extremely strange village.

The houses in the village are all built of stone.

Those who live in it are sinners.

All sinners are condemned to hell.

In fact, strictly speaking, those powerful death gods who had to be led into hell because their spirits were too powerful and could not dissipate after death, as well as those top-notch great voids, can also be considered sinners. But compared to sinners who have no strength to resist, they are so powerful that they can dominate even in hell. Even the jailers appointed by hell may not be able to defeat them, so over time, no one will mention their identity as sinners.

And the Avici Hell is extremely special.

Although the laws of hell also exist.

However, hell itself is not like humans who can move at will. It only has one instinctive law.

After the ancestors of the five nobles came here, their will has replaced the laws of hell and they have become the actual rulers here. Although jailers are born occasionally, the situation of jailers living here is not good. They like to capture sinners, sacrifice them, and get rewards from the gates of hell, but they don't know that they themselves are also food for stronger people.

That's why.

The situation of the sinners in Avici Hell is a little better than those in other hells. They are not imprisoned, but live in groups like normal humans.

“What a wonderful world!”

Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh.

Then he started to complain in his heart, "What a beautiful fart! The reason why the five noble ancestors stopped the jailers from capturing the sinners and sacrificing them to the Gate of Hell is clearly because they didn't want the Gate of Hell to get away with it. They kept these sinners and protected them, which was just a special way of raising Gu to feed them."

Although he has not been in hell for a long time, Xia Mu has already figured out the situation in hell.

"The villages where the Guiren live all have managers. These managers are related to the mayors of the five major cities, who are the ancestors of the great nobles. Perhaps, we can try to get some important information from them..."

Xia Mu thought to himself.

Although Natsuki learned the whereabouts of Kenpachi Kuriyashiki from Saito Funabushiki, it does not mean that he must look for Kenpachi Kuriyashiki.

Compared to Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, it seems that finding the ancestors of the five great nobles and asking for advice in person is also a solution.

Back then, the founder of the Tsunayashiro family used the special sword Yanra Kagano to open the gate of hell.

Similarly, the other great noble ancestors might also know how to open the gate of hell.

Especially at the last moment of that incident, the ancestor of the Shiba family took action and interrupted the plan of the ancestor Tsunayashiro from inside hell.

Soon, Xia Mu sneaked into the village.

As soon as you step into the village, you will see an all too familiar scene of "abusing power".

A burly man was lying on a chair, and several female sinners were massaging his body carefully with a nervous mood. They were very considerate. This was also because there was a shortage of supplies in hell and there were no resources. Otherwise, this guy would definitely let these female sinners feed him wine.

"It's really unfair that a fool like you can enjoy life in hell and live a new life."

A contemptuous voice was heard and fell into the ears of the strong man.

When the sturdy man heard the voice, he was stunned at first, then suddenly sat up from the chair and looked towards the place where the voice came from with sharp eyes.

"who?"

"Your father me!"

Xia Mu had no intention of hiding, or rather, after seeing this guy, the anger in his heart began to rise. He did not expect that he would actually meet this idiot in hell, and the other party was still in such a disgusting posture.

I have to say, there is some truth to the fact that the scourge lasts for thousands of years.

Thinking about what this guy did in the 11th Division, Xia Mu didn't mind killing him again.

The burly man was stunned when he saw Xia Mu, then his pupils shrank and he showed a hint of fear. However, after the fear, he changed his attitude and became extremely arrogant, "It's you!"

"Have you also come to hell?"

“What great news!”

"I have been waiting for you here, wanting to repay you double for the pain you have inflicted on me."

As he spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Gui Yancheng, I didn't expect to see you here." Xia Mu opened his mouth and said the name of the strong man in front of him, and then said, "I almost forgot, I shouldn't have said you are my father, I won't have a son as stupid as you."

"You are looking for death!" After hearing Xia Mu's words, Gui Yancheng immediately became furious.

"Do you think you are still the same as before? I admit that you were very strong back then, but now, after nearly two hundred years of hard training in hell, I have already surpassed the past. And you, a poor creature who just fell into hell, actually dare to speak nonsense in front of me."

Kenpachi Kiganjo is very confident in his own strength.

I have to say that sometimes things like bad fate really do exist.

Natsuki searched for Kenpachi Kuriyashiki in vain, but he did not expect to meet Kenpachi Kiganjo here.

I don’t know whether Gosuke and Kenpachi are also in hell.

Although it is true that Gosuke had the strength of a captain back then, even among captains there are differences in strength.

What if Gosuke Kenpachi’s soul dissipates and he re-enters reincarnation because his strength is a little weaker, without the chance to fight for a resurrection in hell?

Of course, if possible, re-entering reincarnation is the right way.

Entering hell, although it seems like being alive again, living here is worse than being dead.

"Really? I'd like to see what kind of strength you have now."

Faced with Gui Yancheng's arrogant words, Xia Mu was not angry, but just spoke lightly.

Seeing this, Gui Yancheng did not hesitate and suddenly pulled out the knife that was placed on his body.

Zanpakuto is part of the soul of the God of Death. Even if the God of Death falls into hell, Zanpakuto will appear beside him. This is not a very strange thing.

Seeing Gui Yancheng drawing his sword, the several female criminals who had been serving him before hurriedly ran to the side and hid.

Gui Yancheng is very fast.

After drawing his sword, he quickly launched a fierce attack towards Xia Mu.

Above his burly body, the disgusting and uncomfortable power of hell surged out. Although no one knew how Gui Yancheng became the manager of this village, the power of hell emanating from Du Xuang showed that he had done a lot of bad things in this hell.

If we carefully think about Gui Yancheng's character, it is reasonable for him to fall into hell.

This place is indeed very suitable for a fool like Gui Yancheng.

Swish!
The knife flashed by.

Natsuki's figure appeared behind Kenpachi Kiyomizu and he slowly sheathed his Zanpakutō.

"An idiot is an idiot. I could kill you back then, and it's easy to do it now."

If it was anyone else, Xia Mu wouldn't mind asking him for some information about hell, but if it was Gui Yancheng, forget it.

"how so?!"

Gui Yancheng's face was filled with deep shock, and then he fell down and died.

As he died, the rich power of hell emanated from his body.

Those female sinners who had previously hidden far away felt this power and showed greed on their faces, but in the end, they did not have the courage to step forward and absorb the power of hell.

Xia Mu just watched and did not take the initiative to take on the power of hell. Instead, he let it completely dissipate and merge into hell itself.

After killing Gui Yancheng with one sword, Xia Mu originally planned to move on.

But when the time came, he gave up.

If Gui Yancheng was the top manager of this village and an official, and he is dead now, will his superiors rush here after receiving the news?
After thinking of this possibility, Xia Mu decided to wait here for a while.

……

In Hueco Mundo, the war is still going on fiercely.

Relying on extremely powerful Kidō weapons, the Gotei 13 inflicted heavy damage on the Hueco Mundo legions in the first direct battle.

However, the current Hueco Mundo is no longer the same as before, and there is order.

Even though the first wave of defense was defeated, the remaining Hollows reorganized their defenses under the command of the Xuye Palace.

Some inventions in the Hueco Mundo also played a role.

The Arrancar, a new type of extremely powerful Hollow, also displayed a variety of unique abilities in battle.

The Soul Society's attack was blocked.

Even though they continued to adjust their battle strategies and pushed forward the battle line towards the Kyonyaku Palace, time was indeed wasted. However, in general, Soul Society was at an advantage in this war.

As long as we proceed step by step, the Hueco Mundo Palace will be breached and the Hueco Mundo regime established by Aizen in Hueco Mundo will be overthrown.

time flies.

Although they were not able to reach Xuye Palace in one go.

However, because they had the upper hand and suffered few casualties, the Soul Society was generally in a positive state. On this day, the Soul Society army finally arrived in front of Kyūya Palace.

"Is there no movement yet, Master Aizen?"

Inside the Kyūya Palace, after learning that the Grim Reaper was at the gate of the city, Ulquiorra couldn't help but ask Sal Apollo.

Sar Apollo shook his head, "I have no idea what Lord Aizen is doing. Now, there are only two choices before us."

Ulquiorra looked at Sar Apollo.

"First, abandon Xuye Palace and escape from here."

"The second is to take the initiative to fight."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the two Espada beside him.

Deep down, Sal Apollo actually preferred to escape from here.

He is a man who values ​​life very much and knows how to adapt to the changing times.

Whether it was Tsunayashiro Tokinada or Aizen, after these guys showed their terrifying strength, Sal Apollo did not mind putting away his inner pride and relying on these guys. Similarly, after seeing that the situation was not good, he would sell out his teammates and choose to escape.

Now the Soul Society army has reached the gate of Kyūya Palace. He has completed his job and done his best by organizing the army to fight during this period of time. It doesn't matter even if he escapes from here.

However, because we don't know what Aizen's current situation is, and because of the terrifying sense of oppression that emanated from Aizen when we last met, perhaps there is still a chance for this war to turn around.

Even though Sal Apollo wanted to escape, he did not speak his thoughts out loud.

If these two Espadas were planning to flee, he could naturally follow the crowd and flee from here with them.

However, neither Stark nor Ulquiorra seemed to have any intention of escaping from the Palace of the Night.

So, what else can Sal Apollo say?
We can only continue to fight.

Anyway, he has many backup plans, so even if he loses this battle, he shouldn't really die.

He also wanted to know, after the destruction of Kyonyakū, would Aizen, who had been staying indoors, choose to take action?

What kind of strength does Aizen have now?
So the war started again.

The opposing force in this war is clearly the Kyūye Palace.

……

In hell, Natsuki naturally didn't know that after he fell into hell, it brought about a series of chain reactions. The Soul Society actually organized a large army to attack Hueco Mundo, and the decisive battle that was supposed to take place in Karakura Town in his memory was also changed to the location and took place in Hueco Mundo.

For him, it was an extremely easy task to deal with Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

It's really ridiculous to think about the mental preparations I made to deal with Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

He once thought that Gui Yancheng was an extremely powerful and invincible person.

But for the sake of the 11th Division, he had a reason to fight with the opponent. After really fighting with Kenpachi Kiyomizu, he found that the opponent was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and was not that powerful.

And that was nearly two hundred years ago.

After defeating Kenpachi of Kiganjo, according to the tradition of the 11th Division, Natsuki became the new Kenpachi, that is, the 11th generation Kenpachi.

At that time, Xia Mu had not yet learned the skills of Bankai, Zhanquan Zougui, and was far from reaching the peak of his practice.

At that time, he would be able to defeat Gui Yancheng.

Now, facing Gui Yancheng will be even easier for him.

It seems that since Gui Yancheng fell into hell, he has improved himself through special means.

But in fact, not all strong people will become stronger after falling into hell.

In hell, spiritual power will be transformed into the power of hell. It seems that only the attribute of the power has changed. However, for the god of death who has long been accustomed to fighting with spiritual power, the power of hell may not be able to adapt to it.

Moreover, the conversion process is not 100% complete and there will definitely be some losses.

Of course, if one could quickly adapt to the power of hell and possess more of this power by plundering and devouring it, it might also be a powerful method.

But this method is not applicable to Guiyan City.

He was like this in the past, and he is still like this now.

He has great power, but he does not have the sophisticated skills and does not know how to use this power.

You know, the former Kiyomizu-jo had mastered the existence of Bankai.

But he was killed by Xia Mu using the cutting technique in the Shikai state.

I stayed in this village managed by Gui Yancheng for a while.

Soon, Xia Mu felt someone coming here.

There was more than one person coming.

But two people.

After arriving here, the leading man couldn't help but mutter, "Although it's true that Kiyomaru is a fool, who told him to be attached to Master Shiba? People like him who used to be the captain of the Gotei 13 are rare strong men and have value in existence."

"Now that he's been killed, this village is about to get out of control. It's only right for me to come and investigate. It would be best if I could find out how Gui Yancheng died."

As he spoke, the leading man looked at the person next to him.

"Gosuke, you won't blame me, right?"

"After all, it was Gui Yancheng who brought you down..."

After hearing what the man said, Gosuke was silent for a while, then he said: "Captain, you don't have to worry about me. After all, so many years have passed, and I have already let it go. The reason why I died at the hands of Kiganjo was that I was not as skilled as others and did not have enough strength to keep the name Kenpachi."

"After all, my becoming Kenpachi doesn't conform to the rules. Even if I try my best, I don't have the strength to match it."

"On the other hand, it seems that Gui Yancheng did not stay in Kenpachi's position for too long. Such an idiot did not become a disaster after all."

As we all know, Gosuke Kenpachi has two captains.

One is Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, and the other is Kenpachi Zaraki.

Among them, Kenpachi Zaraki is not dead and is still in prison in the Wujian, and this is hell, so the captain who appeared in front of Kenpachi Gosuke is... Kuriyashiki.

Sometimes, after the first Kenpachi appears, the rest of the Kenpachi tend to appear in groups.

"It's great that you think so."

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki spoke.

He had been heartbroken ever since he saw Gosuke in hell.

Although Gosuke's strength was insufficient, he eventually reached the level of captain. In the end, he did not enter reincarnation, but was led into hell through a team funeral ceremony. In theory, reuniting with old friends is a good thing.

But for Kenpachi Kuriyashiki, he really didn't want to see his old friends in hell.

Hell is not a good place. Meeting an old friend here means that the old friend is dead and does not even have the chance to re-enter reincarnation.

He would rather his old friend was still alive than see him again.

Even if you die, you will not fall into hell, but re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. Although after reincarnation, you have become a brand new soul, but isn't that a new life in another sense? Hell is different. It seems that you have lived a new life, but in fact, you have become something that is neither human nor ghost. In order to survive, you have to kill and devour. What is the difference between such behavior and emptiness?
If it is nirvana, then it will be completely gone.

As the two were talking, they soon arrived at the village guarded by Gui Yancheng.

At the beginning, Avici Hell was no different from other hells.

Sinners who enter there are called sinners. The laws of hell will appoint some jailers to capture and sacrifice the sinners. The sinners and jailers fight each other, but after the ancestors of the five nobles came here, everything changed.

The ancestors of the five great nobles changed the local situation, sheltered the criminals, established villages, and appointed strong men to manage the villages. Among them, the most vicious and evil ones would be treated as food, while those who obeyed would be given a place to stay.

In addition, the ancestors of the five nobles also obtained the power of hell through other methods, and used it as nourishment for the survival of the people here.

Of course, this method does not cure the root cause.

One day, this hell will run out of hell power, and all beings will fight each other in order to survive.

But who says this is hell?

It was not easy for the ancestors of the five noble families to establish order here, no matter how fragile this order was.

"What a nostalgic scene. I didn't expect that the two of you would come here because of Gui Yancheng's death."

As Kuriyashiki and Gosuke continued their conversation, a calm voice suddenly reached their ears.

The two of them looked sideways and saw a figure wearing a white feather robe sitting on the roof of the stone house.

The white haori is the standard attire, representing the guy who killed Kiganjo, a former captain of the Gotei 13.

But what Gosuke cared about most was the other person's appearance.

"You are... Xia Mu?!"

Gosuke is very familiar with Natsuki.

If we say that during the Kuriyashiki period, Natsuki had just joined the team and barely became a chief officer, then during the Gosuke Kenpachi period, Natsuki was the vice-captain of the 11th Division and Gosuke's deputy.
