The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 498 The situation is tense
There was not much expression on Wuling Tessai's face, but his eyes revealed determination. As long as Urahara Kisuke gave the order, he would rush forward without hesitation.

Yoruichi crossed his arms over his chest, staring intently at Weiss, mentally assessing his opponent's strength.

She could feel that the aura emanating from Weiss was extremely powerful and he was definitely not an ordinary person.

But as the former captain of the second squad, she also has her own pride and confidence, and will never back down easily.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the alley was tense. Both sides were waiting for the other's next move, and a big battle seemed to be about to break out.

"Ha~ha~"

Urahara Kisuke's unique laughter suddenly rang out, breaking the suffocating tense deadlock. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and his face returned to that seemingly casual smile.

"You know a lot, young man." He said, waving his folding fan and looking at Weiss with interest.

"There are very few secrets in this world that can be hidden from me." Weiss's tone was flat but revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if everything in the world was visible to him.

"Tsk~" Ye Yi curled his lips in disdain, his eyes full of disapproval of Weiss's words.

"For example, why did you end up in such a state, Captain of the Fifth Division, Aizen Sosuke."

Weiss's words were like a bombshell, instantly making the atmosphere tense again.

Urahara Kisuke's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yoruichi and Wuling Tessai also showed a vigilant look.

"Who are you?" Urahara Kisuke put away his smile and asked seriously.

"Does it matter who I am?"

Weiss spread his hands, a faint smile on his face, as if he was laughing at the other person's question.

"It really doesn't matter."

Kisuke Urahara covered half of his face with a folding fan, and observed Weiss through the gaps in the fan ribs, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"It seems you are not going to take action."

Weiss said, calmly walking past Yoruichi.

Yoruichi's entire body tensed up, his muscles instantly bulging, ready to attack at any moment.

But at this moment, Urahara Kisuke shook his head slightly at her. Yoruichi gritted her teeth and forced herself not to take action.

"We will meet again."

Weiss said without turning around, his voice fading away.

Until Weiss left completely, Urahara Kisuke, Yoruichi and Kurehime Tessai did not make any more moves.

They stood quietly in the alley, and Yoruichi was the first to break the silence: "Kisuke, who is this guy?"

Urahara Kisuke put away his folding fan and frowned slightly. "I don't know either, but he knows too many things, especially about Aizen. He also knows about it. This person is definitely not a simple person. We must be careful when dealing with him."

Wuling Tessai nodded silently, and Yoruichi also fell into deep thought. The three of them knew in their hearts that the sudden appearance of Weiss would bring them unknown variables and challenges.

The next day, Karakura First High School opened as usual, and the campus returned to its former bustle.

Ichigo Kurosaki is a straightforward person who can't keep things secret. Weiss's powerful and mysterious performance yesterday has been lingering in his mind, and he plans to go and ask her directly to get to the bottom of it.

However, Kuchiki Rukia was filled with worry.

She knew Weiss was incredibly powerful. For such a formidable individual to disguise himself as an ordinary student must have ulterior motives. "Ichigo, don't be impulsive," Kuchiki Rukia said, stopping Ichigo Kurosaki, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "Although I don't have any evidence, my intuition tells me he's most likely targeting you. Let's stay away from him until I've thoroughly investigated."

Ichigo Kurosaki scratched his head reluctantly, but seeing Rukia Kuchiki's serious expression, he nodded reluctantly.

Unfortunately, things did not develop as Rukia Kuchiki wished.

Before she could start investigating, something unexpected happened.

It was a seemingly ordinary night.

Two people dressed as Shinigami appear in Karakura Town. They are none other than Kuchiki Rukia's adopted brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, and her childhood friend, Renji Abarai.

Kuchiki Byakuya's expression was stern, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He spoke coldly, "Kuchiki Rukia, you have violated the rules of Soul Society by granting the power of the Shinigami to a human without permission. The Central Forty-Six orders us to arrest you and bring you back to Soul Society."

Abarai Renji frowned slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he still stood firmly beside Kuchiki Byakuya.

Rukia Kuchiki was fully aware of her mistakes and had intended to take all the blame on her own, not wanting to implicate others.

With a sense of tragedy in her heart, she was ready to accept the punishment of Soul Society calmly.

However, what she didn't expect was that Ichigo Kurosaki would chase her regardless of everything.

"Rukia, I won't let them take you away!"

Ichigo Kurosaki's eyes were firm and fiery. He gripped his Zanpakuto tightly and rushed towards Renji Abarai without hesitation.

Abarai Renji was slightly startled, then assumed a fighting stance.

The two men clashed instantly, swords flashing and spiritual pressure overflowing.

To everyone's surprise, Abarai Renji, the vice-captain, was suppressed in the battle with Kurosaki Ichigo.

Although Abarai Renji admitted that his strength was suppressed to only 20%, Kurosaki Ichigo's performance was still amazing.

You have to know that Ichigo Kurosaki has only been a Shinigami for a few days and has never received any systematic Shinigami training.

He fought entirely relying on his innate fighting instincts and extraordinary talent.

Every time Kurosaki Ichigo swung his sword, he did so with an unstoppable momentum. His attacks seemed to be random, but he could always accurately find Abarai Renji's flaws.

A trace of solemnity appeared on Abarai Renji's face. He never expected that this young man who had just started out would have such powerful fighting ability.

"You...are quite interesting!"

Abarai Renji gritted his teeth, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He tried to adjust his fighting rhythm and regain the initiative in the battle.

Ichigo Kurosaki became more and more courageous as the battle went on. There was no fear in his eyes and he had only one thought in his mind, which was to protect Rukia Kuchiki.

His talent was fully demonstrated in this battle; every attack and defense was perfect, as if he was born for fighting.

Byakuya Kuchiki, who was watching the battle from the side, kept a calm expression, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He watched the battle silently, and had a new assessment of Ichigo Kurosaki's strength in his mind.

Byakuya Kuchiki, who had been watching coldly, did not hesitate at all when he saw Abarai Renji being suppressed by Kurosaki Ichigo and the situation gradually became unfavorable to his side.

Using instant step, he appeared beside Ichigo Kurosaki in an instant like a ghost.
