Death's Frozen Throne

　　"Chong-"

　　Sojiro Kusakari pulled out... the Zanpakutō at his waist, ready to use the first solution to directly deal with Lunugangka.

　　However, before Soujiro Kusanagi could take action, a voice suddenly sounded.

　　"Second dance Bailian!"

　　"Shh-"

　　A cold light flashed.

　　"Crack-"

　　Runugangka was directly frozen into a huge ice sculpture.

　　"Boom!"

　　The huge ice sculpture exploded and turned into tiny ice crystals all over the sky, and the frozen Lunugangka also shattered to pieces, and this time Lunugangka never... could not be resurrected.

　　"This is Rukia!"

　　Seeing this familiar move, Toushiro and the others instantly thought of Rukia.

　　Then everyone followed the sound, and as expected, they saw Rukia holding a Zanpakutō, standing on a low sand dune not far away, and Renji Asanei was standing beside it.

　　"Rukia, Renji"

　　"Shh! Shh!"

　　Rukia and Asanei Renji flashed and appeared in front of Toushiro and the others.

　　"Yo, Captain Hitsugaya, and everyone, are you all okay?"

　　Rukia took the initiative to say hello.

Chapter five hundred and fortieth companion

Chapter five hundred and forty-one enlightened Bai Zai

　　"Cough, hurry up, don't waste time, aren't we here to save people?"

　　Rukia coughed lightly, hiding the awkward atmosphere.

　　"Yeah, since you've already come, we can't drive you back, we can only go together, but Rukia, the enemies we're about to meet are very powerful and cunning, and their abilities are all kinds of strange, some people are even very good at it. Disguise, so if you encounter an enemy in the future, don't hesitate, take action when you should, your strength is relatively weak, if you hesitate again, it is very likely that your life will be in danger."

　　Toshiro solemnly warned.

　　"Well, what do you mean by that, Captain Hitsugaya, are you looking down on my strength? Don't think that I am not even an officer, but my strength is very strong!"

　　Rukia said with a pouting voice.

　　"No, I didn't mean to look down on your strength, but well, forget it, in short, the virtual circle is very dangerous, you must be careful."

　　Toushiro wanted to say something to Rukia, but in the end he didn't say it.

　　In fact, the current Rukia's strength can't be said to be weak, but it can't be considered too strong, that is, the vice-captain level like Matsumoto Ranju, this kind of strength is nothing in the virtual circle of countless powerful enemies.

　　In the original novel, Rukia also came to the virtual circle to rescue Orihime Inoue, but if it wasn't for Rukia's halo as a heroine, she would have died a long time ago with her vice-captain-level strength, let alone dying. Can beat a ten blade.

　　In the original novel, Rukia met the ninth 'ten blade' Aronillo Ai Luluyeli, and Aronillo Ai Luluyeli turned into Shiba Haiyan to confuse Rukia, making Rukia once Trapped in confusion.

　　In the end, although Rukia saw through the true face of Aronillo Erruyeri, got rid of the confusion, and killed Aronillo Erruyeri, but she was also seriously injured and almost died.

　　In the end, if Kuchiki Byakuya hadn't arrived in time, Rukia, who was seriously injured and comatose, would have really died at the hands of the seventh 'ten blade' Zomari Lulu.

　　That's why Toushiro wanted to remind Rukia not to be deceived by the enemy, her strength was not as good as Ten Blades, and if she was deceived by the enemy again, she would have no chance of winning.

　　To be honest, if it wasn't for the ninth 'Ten Blades' Aronillo Ai Luluyelli who underestimated the enemy, and if Rukia had the halo of the heroine, Rukia would have died a long time ago, let alone could Killed a ten blade.

　　However, the current situation is different from the original. If Rukia encounters the ninth 'Ten Blades' again, it is not certain whether she can defeat Aronillo Erruyeri again.

　　That's why Toushiro wanted to remind Rukia that if he encounters Shiba Haiyan, who turned into Aaronillo Aruyeri again, don't be fooled by him. If you fight him like this, at least you have a chance of winning. can be higher.

　　But Toushiro couldn't tell Rukia directly, saying that the ninth 'ten blade' Aronillo Eruyali would turn into Shiba Haiyan to confuse her, so she could only vaguely remind her to be careful Just a little.

　　And Rukia obviously didn't know what Toushiro was thinking, so after hearing Toushiro's reminder, she just thought Toushiro wanted her to be more vigilant. After all, this is an empty circle, so it is natural to be more vigilant. .

　　So Rukia nodded and said, "I see, Captain Hitsugaya, I will pay attention."

　　[Well, forget it, unlike in the original book, this time, Rukia may not necessarily encounter that... Ten Blades who became Shiba Haiyan, and even if they did, nothing would happen if I was there] Dong Shiro thought to himself.

　　Thinking like this, Toushiro didn't have much more.

　　Then everyone set off again and went to the Xuye Palace.

　　"That... Captain Hitsugaya, I've been wanting to ask what this little guy is from just now."

　　On the way, Rukia suddenly pointed to Nilu in Toushiro's arms and asked.

　　Although Rukia knew that something had happened in the virtual circle, she did not know that the news was actually passed on by Nilu.

　　"What the heck you are too rude!!"

　　Nilu suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction.

　　"Oh, you mean Nilu, Nilu is a broken five, face, but a kind broken five, face, is a friend I met in the virtual circle when I was the commander-in-chief of the virtual circle expedition. Because of me, her companion was taken away by Xuye Palace, and then she went to the world to find me, and even the news of the Xuquan Expeditionary Army was passed on by her."

　　Toshiro explained.

　　"I see, but why has she been staring at me since just now?"

　　Rukia asked suspiciously.

　　Toushiro heard the words, looked down and found that Nilu's eyes were fixed on Rukia.

　　And after hearing Rukia's words, Nilu stared at Rukia with a bad expression and asked loudly, "You are the guy, what is your relationship with Toushiro?"

　　Having said that, Nilu, who was held by Toushiro in her arms, clung to Toushiro's clothes tightly, as if she was declaring her ownership.

　　"what"

　　Rukia was immediately stunned.

　　"Ah ha ha"

　　Matsumoto Ranju suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Captain, you are very feminine, even a child as young as Nilu is jealous of you, ahaha"

　　"No Road Race! Shut up, Luan Ju!"

　　Toshiro said angrily.

　　"By the way, Rukia, where did the cloaks on you and Renji come from? There doesn't seem to be any other standard costumes in the Soul Society other than the Deathlord costume."

　　After Matsumoto Ranki finally had enough of laughing, he suddenly asked Rukia.

　　I saw that Rukia and Asanei Renji had been wearing a yellow cloak ever since they appeared just now.

　　"this one"

　　After hearing Matsumoto Ranju's question, Rukia's face turned red, which was very rare.

　　"Oh hoo, it looks like there is a situation, hurry up and hurry up, where did it come from?"

　　Seeing Rukia's shy face, Matsumoto Ranju's gossip soul was burning, and he couldn't help but feel even more excited.

　　"cough cough"

　　Rukia coughed lightly and tried to hide her embarrassment: "This is because the sand and dust in the virtual circle is heavy, so he insists on us wearing this cloak."

　　"Who is this 'he'?"

　　Matsumoto Ranju asked with a look of interest.

　　"My brother!"

　　Rukia said in a low voice, blushing.

　　"Eh!!!"

　　After hearing Rukia's answer, everyone suddenly looked shocked, obviously not expecting Byakuya's... always cold ice face to do such a considerate and gentle thing.

　　"Then this time, Captain Kuchiki sent you here."

　　Matsumoto Ranju asked in moan.

　　"It was Mr. Urahara who helped us open up the dark voice, but thanks to Captain Kuchiki, we were able to return to this world and find Mr. Urahara."

　　Asashii Renji answered.

　　"The big brother said, 'The order I received was to bring you back to the Realm of Souls, but no one told me what to do with you after I brought you back, so you can do whatever you want!' That's it and then we use The [-]th Division's Chuanmen came to the world, found Mr. Urahara, and then came to the virtual circle."

　　Rukia explained embarrassedly.

　　"Oh right? It looks like that guy Byakuya is enlightened too."

　　Toshiro couldn't help but laugh.

Chapter five hundred and forty-two under the palace of the virtual night

　　When Toshiro and others were rushing all the way to Xuye Palace, in a huge prison built by murderous stones somewhere in Xuye Palace, there were more than [-] Death Gods and Nilu's companions, Peixie, Tang Duocha, in the virtual circle expedition army. Cards are imprisoned in dozens of cells, large and small.

　　In fact, there were nearly [-] people in the virtual circle expeditionary army at its peak, and the reason why there are only more than [-] people left is not because there were too many casualties when they were captured by the virtual night palace before, but because most of them have long been One after another, they returned to the Soul Realm.

　　After the attack of the two commanders-in-chief, Dong Shilang and Tian Bei Xiu, the number of emptiness in the virtual circle has dropped to a relatively small number, which is enough to maintain a relative balance between the soul world and the virtual circle. .

　　Therefore, the virtual circle expeditionary army does not need to maintain a huge scale of nearly a thousand people, so the number is gradually reduced to about four hundred people.

　　In the past, Aizen sent people to capture the members of the virtual circle expeditionary force, and after some battles, dozens of people were killed and injured, because the virtual circle expedition force now has a total of only more than [-] people.

　　The current commander-in-chief of the virtual circle expeditionary force is Ando Mingfeng.

　　Ando Mingfeng was the deputy commander of the First Corps when Toshiro was the commander-in-chief of the virtual circle expedition, and he was also Toushiro's adjutant.

　　After Dong Shilang stepped down as the commander-in-chief of the Xuquan Expeditionary Force, he recommended Tianbei Xiuzhu to take over his position, and after Tianbei Xiuzhu became the commander-in-chief of the Xuquan Expeditionary Force, Ando Mingfeng also took over Tianbeixiu by the way. to assist the former commander of the Third Army Corps.

　　Some time ago, after Tian Bei Xiuzhu returned to the Soul Realm, the commander-in-chief of the virtual circle expedition force became Ando Mingfeng.
