"Is this hell?"

Ichigo and Ishida Uryu followed Natsuki in a world full of miasma. Skulls could be seen everywhere and the sky was extremely dark without any sunlight. Such a world seemed even more depressing than Hueco Mundo. Although Hueco Mundo was night all day and covered with deserts, the air was filled with rich spirit particles.

The existence of spirit particles gives people a feeling of vitality.

In hell, there is no such thing.

"Don't ever try to absorb the power in hell. This power looks similar to the spirit particles, but once you absorb it, you will establish a connection with hell. At that time, it will not be so easy to escape from hell."

Natsuki gave instructions to Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu as he led the team.

The two men nodded.

Ichigo couldn't help but ask Xia Mu again, "Teacher, do you have a way to determine the location of Yuko and Xia Li?"

After entering hell, it was Natsuki who led the way. Ichigo didn't understand why Natsuki walked this way and headed in that direction. He only thought about one thing now, which was to find the whereabouts of his two sisters and rescue them from this damn hell.

"You have never been good at sensing and manipulating spirit particles. If you sense them carefully, you can actually find some clues. In addition, hell is different from the world of spirit particles. The breath of the living here is actually very eye-catching if it is not concealed."

Natsuki's words fell into the ears of Ichigo and Ishida Uryu.

The two of them became thoughtful.

Xia Mu didn't say much and continued forward with the two people.

……

"Black Knife, you are nothing more than that."

Zhu Lian manipulated the strange red lotus fire, using her own sins as fuel, and continuously attacked Black Knife.

Heidao's strength is not weak. After all, as a sinner, he can wander around in this hell without being caught by the jailer, which shows that he is quite powerful. It's a pity that he is just a lunatic. It doesn't matter that he opened the door of hell and kidnapped the two human girls, but he came here to meddle in other people's business.

But it's not surprising. After all, those who committed serious crimes and went to hell all have some problems. If they didn't have any problems, they wouldn't come to such a place.

The four subordinates and the two girls have left.

Heidao wanted to kidnap the two girls, but was stopped by Zhu Lian.

Facing Zhu Lian, Heidao had an extremely hard time fighting.

In terms of strength, he was indeed inferior to Zhu Lian. However, they had dealt with each other before. Although Zhu Lian was very strong, he was only slightly stronger than himself. However, this was not the case at this moment. He felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression from Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian’s strength is even stronger than before.

Combined with the fact that Zhu Lian could actually open the gates of hell and bring the two human girls into hell.

A doubt arose in Heidao's heart.

What exactly happened to Zhu Lian?
Just when he was thinking.

Zhu Lian controlled the blazing flames and smashed them down suddenly.

boom! !

Heidao's body was immediately sent flying and suffered serious injuries.

Zhu Lian's figure flashed and she quickly came to the seriously injured Heidao.

"If you had left obediently, I wouldn't mind letting you go, but since you are seeking your own death, I can only kill you and then take away your origin."

As he spoke, Zhu Lian made a move, flames condensed, and he was about to kill Heidao.

At this moment, a slash came from a distance and landed on the flame condensed by Zhu Lian.

boom! !

The flames exploded, and Zhu Lian's attack was interrupted.

"!!!"

Zhu Lian raised her head suddenly and looked forward.

Then I saw three figures.

A young man wearing a white haori, followed by two young boys.

"Can you tell me why you have the breath of the living on you? Where did you take those two girls? Or, why did you kidnap them? And who ordered you to do so?"

A low voice came from Xia Mu's mouth, and he asked Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian was stunned when she heard these questions.

"Are you here for those two girls?"

After saying this, he seemed to have discovered something incredible. His eyes were fixed on the three people in front of him, especially Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu, because the aura they exuded was the most intense.

"You are... the living?"

Immediately, he thought of what the man said.

As long as the gate of hell is opened, the two human girls are abducted, and then the gate of hell is opened again, someone will take advantage of this opportunity to enter hell. At that time, those guys who come to hell will be kept as sacrifices and offered to the gate of hell. This will help you break free from the shackles, leave hell, and return to the world of the living.

Zhu Lian originally planned to send the two girls to the vicinity of the Gate of Hell first, and then open the Gate of Hell leading to the present world.

Unexpectedly, the guy in the present world has actually been killed in hell.

How did they get to hell?
Zhu Lian didn't know.

Immediately, a fanatical light flashed in his eyes again.

"It's great that you came. Now that you're here, don't even think about going back."

The flame condensed again, but this time Zhu Lian did not attack Hei Dao, but attacked Xia Mu and the other two.

Flames blazed through the air.

But before he could get close to the three people, he was cut in half by a knife.

Xia Mu's figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Lian.

Swish!
The knife attack was irresistible, and even though Zhu Lian dodged instinctively, she still couldn't avoid it.

Deep scars appeared on his body, and what flowed out of them was not blood, but a substance similar to black mist. As this substance was released, Zhu Lian's energy suddenly weakened, and he suffered serious injuries.

His palms turned into claws, flames grew, and then he waved his arms, trying to manipulate the flames to attack Xia Mu at close range.

Xia Mu's sword swung forward first.

The flames are extinguished.

Zhu Lian was injured again, and this time the trauma cut off all his strength to fight back.

Bang!
He fell to the ground, and black mist continued to pour out of his body. These were the powers of hell. If they all dissipated, the existence of Zhu Lian would also disappear.

"Where are the two girls?"

Xia Mu lowered his head and asked Zhu Lian, who had lost the strength to fight back.

"You'll never find them, haha..."

Zhu Lian looked at Xia Mu with resentment. Even though his own existence was about to end, he was unwilling to submit to Xia Mu because he knew that he was doomed to die.

"If you had known better, I wouldn't mind sparing your life. But since you are so ignorant of current affairs, it would be better for you to die."

As he spoke, Xia Mu swung his knife again, completely cutting off Zhu Lian's life.

All the power of hell spilled out, and Zhu Lian's body quickly turned into a pile of bones and was annihilated.

Looking at the power of hell floating in front of him, even though he had already mastered some of the power of hell, Xia Mu had no intention of absorbing it. Instead, he waved his hand and dispersed them, letting them disperse between heaven and earth.

At this moment, a somewhat weak voice came out, "I can help you find those two girls."

The speaker was Heidao. Zhu Lian, who had previously caused him severe injuries, died just like that. He was greatly shocked.

Immediately, he thought of his sister again.

He felt that he should help.

After all, the conflict between him and Zhu Lian this time was because he thought of his sister, so he stopped Zhu Lian.

"No, I can find them."

However, Xia Mu did not accept Heidao's kindness.

Even though Hei Dao and Zhu Lian fought, he had no idea whether Hei Dao was good or bad. In other words, there were no good people in this hell.

Which good person would fall into hell?

Natsuki then said to Ichigo and Ishida Uryuu, "Follow me!"

The two men followed Xia Mu without any hesitation and continued forward.

Following his perception of the breath of the living, Xia Mu continued to move forward as if he had found a guiding light.

Heidao watched the three people leave, then looked at the white bones and skeleton left behind by Zhu Lian after her death. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He means well.

But now he has been seriously injured and it seems that he can no longer continue to help.

With the terrifying strength of that man before, Zhu Lian's four subordinates should not be able to stop him. As long as these three can find the whereabouts of the two girls, they should be able to rescue them, right?

Heidao couldn't help but think so.

……

In hell, there are many special gates to hell.

Although they are all gates to hell, there are differences among the gates to hell.

Except for the gate to hell in the spirit world.

The most common gate to hell is the "Gate of Sacrifice". By sending sinners or some special beings here, one can obtain gifts from hell itself through sacrifice. The most common of these gifts is the power of hell. Occasionally, one will also obtain some gifts from hell and gain some powerful power.

This is also the more mainstream power system in hell.

Not all sinners were powerful gods of death or hollows during their lifetime.

They are just ordinary human beings who fell into hell because of committing serious crimes, but they gained all kinds of powerful powers. For example, the fire that Zhu Lian controlled before was a gift from hell.

The Gate of Hell can be used not only by jailers but also by other sinners.

However, because such places are usually guarded by jailers, the guilty people naturally dare not come here.

There were originally jailers guarding the gate of hell in the Black Rope Hell. However, after a certain being fell into hell and learned about the specific situation of hell, the jailers here were easily dealt with by him.

Zhu Lian's four subordinates came here with Ichigo's two sisters, Yuko and Xia Li.

"I don't know when the boss will come."

One of the men spoke up.

"With the boss's strength, he should be able to deal with that guy quickly."

"Let's just wait here for a while."

Another person also spoke up.

The four of them chatted casually, and while they were talking, they didn't pay any attention to Youzi and Xia Li. In their opinion, the two little girls had been scared silly after being taken to hell.

They don't know yet that a more tragic fate is waiting for them.

Having said that, I don’t know why that adult took a fancy to these two little girls.

Now the eldest brother hasn’t come yet, and no one knows where that adult is.

Fortunately, the jailer at the Gate of Hell has been dealt with, so they don't have to worry about being caught by those jailers while staying here.

Continue to wait for some time.

Suddenly, a strange breath was sensed by the four people one after another.

"Ok?"

Someone looked sideways, somewhat surprised.

A loud voice sounded.

"Youzi, Xiali, I'm here to save you."

After hearing this voice, the two girls who were afraid of falling into hell suddenly looked up.

"elder brother?"

They saw a figure wearing a Shinigami suit and holding a long black Zanpakutō coming quickly. It was Ichigo who had entered the Bankai state.

Seeing Ichigo coming, Zhu Lian's subordinates immediately tried to stop him.

What greeted him was Ichigo's all too familiar move.

"Crescent Moon Chong!"

A black crescent flew out from the air and in an instant, tore a figure's body apart.

After learning the Fullbring Technique and regaining the power of the God of Death, Ichigo's sword has undergone some subtle changes after his Bankai. The changes in the sword act on his body, making his power even stronger than before.

The figure blocking Ichigo was torn apart in an instant.

Seeing this, the other three left only one person to look after Youzi and Xia Li, while the remaining two rushed over to fight Ichigo.

As criminals who survived in hell, they all possessed considerable strength. If they were weak, they would have been arrested by the jailers long ago and become sacrifices to the gate of hell behind them.

But unfortunately, they are now facing Ichigo in his prime.

Although he followed Natsuki's teachings and was not allowed to over-consume power in hell, nor absorb power from hell, with Ichigo's strength, as long as he didn't use the "Last Getsuga Tensho" again, there was no chance of his power being completely exhausted under normal circumstances.

Crescent Moon Tianchong, still Crescent Moon Tianchong.

Although the moves are relatively simple, the power of this move that condenses spiritual pressure into a crescent moon and releases it is unquestionable.

Soon, two more people were defeated by Ichigo.

Seeing this, the last person also panicked.

Where is the boss? Why hasn't the boss come yet? Has something happened to the boss?
Can I really beat this guy in front of me?

He thought so.

Xia Mu has always been a person who likes to help others solve their problems, and he noticed the other person's difficulties.

He flashed and appeared beside him decisively.

The Zanpakutō swung and easily dispatched him.

"Youzi, Xiali!"

Seeing that all the enemies were dealt with, Ichigo quickly came to his sister's side and calmed her down.

Xia Mu held a knife and looked towards the direction of the gate of hell.

"Aizen, this incident is indeed related to you. Even if you go to hell, you are still restless!" (End of this chapter)
