Chapter 680: 1 Person Passed, 1 Person Was Eliminated!
Hongjiang held Unohana with a smile on his face and walked towards Mugenwai. Zaragi also had a smile on his face. Although it was not through his hands, the woman who had blamed herself for who knows how long because of him survived. This feeling really not bad.
He pulled out the Zanpakuto on the ground and put it on his shoulder. Just as he was about to follow Hong Jiang and leave, a voice suddenly came to his ears: "Kenpachi, Zaraki no Kenpachi..."
"who is it!"
Zaraki turned his head and looked directly at the source of the sound, but he was the only one in the empty space.
Is it another illusion? No, he was very sure that what he just experienced was not an illusion, but something was really calling him.
"Who is calling me, come out!!"
The voice came from the ear again, very close but feeling far away. It seemed to be very pleased with Zaraki's response, "My voice has finally reached you, longer and closer than anyone else." , my voice that has been watching you..."
Zaraki seemed to have found the source. He looked at the Zanpakutō on his shoulder with a somewhat uncertain look, and finally even raised it in front of him. Was the sound just now coming from this sword?
"First meeting, Zaraki Kenpachi." The sword in his hand seemed to confirm Zaraki's guess. After the duel with Unohana, he not only regained his former self, but also became a better person as the other party expected. Floors.
For a Shinigami like him, this was such an insignificant step, but for Kenpachi Zaraki, this step took him longer than anyone else.
He heard it, he finally heard it, the name of this Zanpakutō that had followed him for a long time!
…
It was the same darkness that seemed to be endless, and the same battle that left no breath for a moment. Renji threw punch after punch and kick after kick. He didn't know when this battle would end.
In this darkness where he lost the concept of time, he only felt that every minute and every second was extremely long. At first, he was still thinking about Ichigo, who no longer knew where he was, but later on, all he could do was take care of his hair. own business.
However, in the face of the endless siege by the shallow warriors, although Renji's body was a little numb, his heart was still extremely determined.
He believed that this was the process of once again putting his own mark on the Zanpakutō. Although it was more intense and difficult than when he was in the Spiritual Arts Academy, he wanted to fight as a Shinigami again and protect everything he had to protect. This is something he himself cannot escape.
After a few more punches, he gasped and tried to straighten his back, waiting for the next wave of attacks.
Although the concept of time was blurred, Renji could definitely feel that the offensive he had endured was gradually fading away.
If it were said that it was like standing under a waterfall at first, the shallow water was like a fierce flow of water, which would not give him any chance to breathe.
So now, at least as far as he can tell, the opponent's offensive has turned into a light rain. Although it will still wet the body, it does not seem so heavy.
However, his body seemed to have reached its limit. When Renji thought about it, the next step might be a competition of wills. No matter what, he could not fall, and he fell at the last possible step.
The imagined attack did not come. Instead, a beam of light fell from above his head. Renji squinted his eyes. At the end of the dazzling light was a familiar figure.
"71 hours and 48 minutes, three days and three nights." Wang Yue's voice said. Renji looked at the Qidas who fell at their feet and could no longer move. Has this been considered a test?
"Thank you for your hard work. It's really amazing. You are qualified, little Renci." Wang Yue gave a positive answer, and Renci's heart relaxed. His persistence was worth it.
Wang Yue also looked at Renji who was always standing tall with admiration, but when he turned his eyes, his voice became heavier, "And you are not qualified, little Ichigo."
On the other side, actually not far from Renji, Ichigo fell to the ground. He was still conscious, but that was it. If Renji really resisted Asagi's attacks again and again, then Ichigo just experienced The shallow siege only ensured that he did not die.
"Wait, I can still do it, I can still..."
Wang Yue didn't give him a chance to finish his words, "No, I won't wait for you anymore. It's over. That's it."
"I can still fight, let me fight, who cares about time!" Ichigo shouted as he reluctantly stood up.
Wang Yue shook his head, "It's not that the time has come, it's that the mood has come. I don't care if you can continue fighting, but I saw that you were not selected by Qian Da, that's all."
Then he rapped again and directly sentenced Ichigo to death, "So that's it, the game is over."
The game is over? No, Ichigo really couldn't accept such an answer. If it stopped here, then he would have violated his oath to fight with his companions.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Wang Yue turned around directly and interrupted Ichigo again, "Don't cry and cry for the abandoned guy. The past three days have been enough to confirm one thing, that is, Xiao Renji is the God of Death, but Xiao Ichigo is not. grim Reaper."
"It doesn't matter, I will open a road for you directly from here, so just go home."
Wang Yue's tone was not that serious, but no one suspected that it was a joke. Ichigo was stunned and speechless for a moment, and Renji was also shocked by the other party's determination.
He wanted to plead for Ichigo out loud, but the words came to his lips and he couldn't get out of his mouth.
Give this kid another chance? Let’s not talk about the fact that Wang Yue is an unpredictable person. Based on Ichigo’s previous performance, Renji knew very well that even if he gave him another chance, or even ten chances, the ending would still be the same.
Persuade Ichigo? It’s not like he hadn’t done it before, but Ichigo seemed to have some kind of barrier in his heart, perhaps because of the destruction of Zangetsu, who accompanied him day and night, or some factors he didn’t know.
This kind of practice of quickly branding his own mark on Asahi might really be impossible for Ichigo to do, not to mention that Ichigo is now in a state of obsession. He just wants to become stronger, but he can’t listen to other people’s opinions.
Although Wang Yue said he wanted to send Ichigo away, he didn’t act immediately. He was waiting for Renji and Ichigo’s possible pleas, especially Renji, who should do such a thing.
But Renji didn’t do it, which was somewhat unexpected to him, and at the same time, his evaluation of Renji was raised. Maybe this kid who was not expected by them at the beginning has a future beyond their expectations?
Then it might be a little more interesting to rebuild his Zanpakutō next, which really makes people look forward to it inexplicably.
