Chapter 172: All-Out Fight

Because of the prison escape the night before, Momo became like a habitual criminal who entered the prison for the second time. She sat helplessly in the prison cell, recalling scenes about Aizen in her mind.

Suddenly, the prison wall was destroyed.

A figure came into her eyes.

"Oh, it looks really pitiful." Momo's heard one of the voice which disgusts her the most.

"It's you!"

Momo looked at the person who came, it was Ichimaru Gin, the vice-captain of the Third Division.

According to Aizen's words said in the letter, Gin was one of the conspirators who hid in secret and created all the turmoil in Seireitei.

"Do you want to see Captain Aizen again?"

Gin met Momo's gaze, and asked a strange question.

Momo was taken aback for a moment.

Although she still firmly believed that Gin was one of the murderers who killed Aizen, but for some reason, in the end Momo chose to follow Ginren and left from there.

Then, she followed Gin towards the direction of Central 46.

On the other side.

Toshiro, who had still not gone to Sōkyoku Hill, was walking on the streets of Seireitei with his vice-captain, Matsumoto Rangiku. Combined with the series of decisions made by Central 46 in recent times, especially the repeated change of the execution date, Toshiro felt that something was a little unusual.

So, he decided to head over to Central 46 because he always felt there was something wrong happening there.

On the hill of Sōkyoku, after the Kidō Corps gathered around the spear and made preparations, they shouted "Release" in unison.

The rope tied to the spear snapped and spun slowly.

Finally, those ropes flew out like sharp arrows and hit the ground.

Immediately, a raging fire erupted from the spear.

"What?! Is this the liberation of Sōkyoku?" Watching Sōkyoku being liberated, Omaeda couldn't help exclaiming. It was the first time he had seen Sōkyoku's liberation after becoming a shinigami, after all, not every criminal needs to be executed with Sōkyoku.

Amidst the raging flames, the spear gradually floated up, and after reaching the same level as Rukia, it slowly fell horizontally.

The flames surrounding the body of the spear gradually condensed.

In the end, what appeared in front of everyone was a giant bird that was burning with flames all over its body.

"The Kikōō, the true form of the spear of Sōkyoku, the final executor who will carry out this death sentence, when it passes through the sinner's body, the execution ends." Said Yamamoto.

Staring at the flaming giant bird in front of her, Rukia shed tears.

In her mind, she couldn't help recalling the experiences of her life.

There was sadness, there was laughter, there was suffering, and there was joy.

Although her life was short, it is rich and colorful.

'I have no more regrets.' Rukia calmly thought that she could die peacefully without involving anyone else.

Slowly flapping its gigantic wings, the Kikōō flew towards Rukia.

However, just when Rukia was about to be penetrated by it, a figure stood in front of her.

"Yo, long time no see, Rukia." Ichigo's voice came from the flames.

Rukia was stunned when she saw Ichigo who was blocking the Kikōō with his Zanpakuto in front of her.

"..."

Rukia stared blankly at Ichigo, who blocked the Kikōō for her. The orange-yellow hair and the handsome face is wearing a gentle smile at this moment. Under the illumination of the flames, the slender figure in the cloak looked so strong and powerful that it gave her a sense of safety and reliability.

The several captains and vice-captains below were also stunned. They didn't expect that Sōkyoku's execution would be blocked by someone. After all, they had just seen the power of Sōkyoku after liberation, but it was blocked in a blink of an eye. The situation was a bit too embarrassing.

"Is he one of the Ryoka?"

Shunsui asked Mazuru beside him.

Although Sado was captured by him, he did not meet the rest of the Ryokas.

"Yes, Kurosaki Ichigo." Mazuru responded to Shunsui.

"I see..." Shunsui supported his bamboo hat and sighed softly, "After all, it's their people who arrived first."

Hearing this, Mazuru couldn't help but look at Shunsui, "It seems that you guys didn't do nothing."

Shunsui smiled and didn't explained much.

After Byakuya spotted Ichigo appearing in front of them, he immediately prepared to attack.

At that exact moment, three more figures arrived.

The leader was Jushiro, and behind him was his vice-captain Shiba Kaien, and the new 3rd seat Ashido after Miyako left the Thirteenth Division.

After Jushiro appeared, he immediately threw the long rope in his hand towards the Kikōō, the purpose of which was self-evident.

The long rope was not affected by the scorching flames at all, and after wrapping around Kikōō's neck a few times, the other end began to fall back.

"Big handsome boy, you are finally here."

Shunsui said lightly to Jushiro, and then used Shunpo, instantly catching the other end of the long rope that fell back. He and Jushiro exerted strength at the same time, and Sōkyoku, which had been liberated, was sealed again because of the spiritual device of the Shihouin family.

"You...!"

Sui Feng also recognized that the spiritual device in Jushiro's hand came from Shihouin's family. After connecting it with what Mazuru had said previously, she immediately realized what was going on, and she immediately took action to stop Jushiro and Shunsui's actions.

'Sorry, Captain Sui Feng."

Kaien stepped forward and stood in front of Sui Feng, while Ashido also fought side by side with him against her.

Yamamoto also realized what his two apprentices had done, so of course he wouldn't just let it go. After the two of them joined forces to seal Sōkyoku, the head-captain also pulled out his Zanpakuto, and Ryūjin Jakka was immediately released by him.

The duel between master and apprentices was imminent.

Ichigo had rescued Rukia while Sōkyoku was being sealed, but then several vice-captains attacked him.

Chojiro, the vice-captain of the First Division, Omaeda, the vice-captain of the Second Division, and Isane, the vice-captain of the Fourth Division.

It was unknown if they weren't serious about fighting Ichigo at all or Ichigo was really strong right at that moment, but in an instant, he easily defeated the three vice-captains.

Just when he thought he successfully rescued Rukia, suddenly someone appeared in front of him... it was Byakuya.

In the end, it was Renji who showed up and caught Rukia who was thrown by Ichigo towards him, and then Ichigo started fighting against Byakuya by himself.

"Aren't you going to make a move?"

Nanao stood beside Mazuru and question him after looking at his attitude of watching fun.

Shunsui and Jushiro chose to rescue Rukia, and the rest were trying to maintain the order of the Soul Society. Therefore, Mazuru's attitude was particularly important. Mazuru was a person who can influence the situation of the battle.

"I promised someone that I would help her catch someone."

Mazuru said something indescribable.

Nanao was puzzled.

Then, she saw a figure approaching quickly.

"She is coming."

Mazuru said calmly.

Sui Feng, who was dealing with Kaien and Ashido, also noticed that figure. Her complexion changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Shihouin Yoruichi!"

Then with the help of Shunpo, she took the initiative to leave the battle against Kaien and Asido and chased Yoruichi.

Mazuru asked Nanao to just protect herself and not get involved in the fight. Then he also used Shunpo and chased Yoruichi.

(T.L Note: The long-waited fight Mazuru wanted to witness)
