"Wow, it's so high!" Nilu exclaimed, raising her hands high.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Karakura Town, at Urahara Store.

Kisuke Urahara raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his gaze seemingly piercing through all obstacles to see a certain part of the city...

"Such strong spiritual pressure... how could several of them suddenly appear?"

Frowning, Kisuke Urahara abruptly left his spot. The Shinigami stationed in Karakura Town were not capable of dealing with the spiritual pressure of several Adjuchas or higher.

"Hmm? Strange spiritual pressure!"

The Visoreds, also hidden in Karakura Town, sensed the unusual spiritual pressure and were able to detect the problem with it.

There are subtle differences between the spiritual pressure of ordinary Hollows and Arrancars, just like there are slight differences between the spiritual pressure of Shinigami and the spiritual pressure of Shinigami who have mastered Hollowfication.

"Shall we go take a look?" someone asked.

"Take a look!"

The spiritual pressure is so captivating; I can't put it off until I see it.

The group left their lodgings and headed to the location of their target, but did not encounter Kisuke Urahara, who had come to investigate.

"Are they Arrancar?" Kisuke Urahara asked, hiding in the shadows of the house as he sized up Fang Rui and the others.

Pesser and Dondchaka were wrapped up so tightly that it was impossible to see the extent of their Hollowfication, but Nel's Hollowfication was very advanced; she looked no different from a human, with very few remaining Hollow features...

'Is the mask broken?'

When his gaze fell on the mask, Kisuke Urahara raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression somewhat surprised.

The Hollow's mask is very important to it; even if it becomes an Arrancar, some part of the mask will remain.

However, if the remaining mask is broken, it's not a good thing for the Arrancar.

Judging from the ever-unstable spiritual pressure, this Arrancar is indeed in a very bad state right now.

"That's interesting." Kisuke Urahara became interested and wanted to investigate further.

Meanwhile, the masked legion, hidden in the shadows of another building, sized up Fang Rui and his group.

"It's an Arrancar."

"His strength is average."

"Why is there a Shinigami? A Shinigami acting together with an Arrancar... Is he a traitor?"

The group chattered amongst themselves, then turned their gaze to Hirako Shinji, waiting for him to make a decision.

To kill or to capture?

"Arrest him! We might be able to get some information about Aizen."

As they spoke, the group immediately sprang into action, surrounding Fang Rui and his companions from several directions.

"Ara~" Kisuke Urahara opened his folding fan to cover his mouth, revealing a look of amusement.

He had already recognized who the attackers were.

Since his old friend has this idea, he'll hold off on taking action for now!

At the same time, Fang Rui looked at the person attacking him and made the same sound as Urahara Kisuke, "Ara~"

"Ah—" Pesser and Dondchaka hugged each other and cried out in surprise.

They could clearly sense the approaching group, several of whom possessed spiritual pressure at the captain level.

“(⊙o⊙)Wow!” Nilu’s eyes widened as she looked at the approaching group.

The "girl," who lacked knowledge of such matters, was unaware of the group's objectives but could clearly sense their hostility and the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from them.

"What a warm welcome ceremony!"

In response, Fang Rui, currently in spirit form, suddenly vanished from his spot. Although he could use various spells, he preferred to try hand-to-hand combat, feeling it would be quite interesting...

Boom!

A dull thud echoed as Hirako Shinji crossed his arms in front of his chest. The immense force propelled him backward, and with a tearing sound, he crashed straight into a building.

Upon seeing this, everyone stopped moving at the same time.

Well, fighting in a densely populated city can easily result in friendly fire!

Incidentally, there was no one inside the building that was hit by Shinji Hirako.

otherwise……

That would be a terrible thing.

"How about we change locations?" Fang Rui asked the enemy for their opinion.

“…Okay.” The group exchanged glances for a moment and agreed with Fang Rui’s suggestion.

"How about going to Kisuke Urahara's shop?" Fang Rui continued, offering his suggestion.

“Alright.” Hirako Shinji and the others still had no objections; in fact, they were eager to try.

The Visoreds and Kisuke Urahara had a fairly ordinary relationship, at the level of casual acquaintances, so they didn't see anything wrong with the Visoreds going to Urahara's place to cause trouble.

What's even more concerning is Fang Rui's attitude.

Logically speaking, although the other party's spiritual pressure was very strong, he was surrounded by several captain-level spiritual pressure experts, so it was suggested that he go to the home of another captain-level spiritual pressure expert.

No matter how you look at it, there's a serious problem.

"I welcome everyone..." Kisuke Urahara emerged from the shadows of the building.

As he spoke, he gestured for them to enter: "Please!"

The group moved to the basement of Urahara Store.

Under Kisuke Urahara's renovation, the store's basement has become a spacious area, especially since Urahara reinforced the space.

Even if several captains were to fight using their Bankai here, this space could hold out for a while.

It also ensures that spiritual pressure will not dissipate outside the space, making it a good place to fight.

"Which of you comes first?"

Fang Rui looked at Pingzi Zhenzi and the others and spoke, while Pei Xue and the others sat obediently on a rock, sizing up Fang Rui and the others.

"Of course, we'll go together."

When dealing with a traitor, Hirako Shinji had no time for rules, and a group of people swarmed him.

As for Kisuke Urahara, he stood alone to the side, neither participating in the beating nor attacking Nel and the others, just like a bystander.

"This is really interesting, a complete free-for-all."

Watching Fang Rui fight the others, Kisuke Urahara gathered information and analyzed Fang Rui's situation.

According to the intelligence we have so far, Fang Rui did not use his Zanpakuto; he only fought by hand and did not lose ground against multiple opponents.

Regardless of how exquisite the opponent's skills are, the main thing is that they are strong enough and fast enough.

"Is it that he hasn't mastered Instant Step, or that he hasn't thought about using it? He probably hasn't mastered it..."

Kisuke Urahara squinted, guessing...

'The techniques used have absolutely nothing to do with those taught at the Shinigami Academy.'

'Not from the Seireitei, but someone who gained power unexpectedly?'

'That's really interesting...'

Kisuke Urahara pulled down the brim of his hat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"A self-taught genius? Another Kenpachi Zaraki?"

As they spoke, the battle between Fang Rui and Hirako Shinji gradually intensified, with one person after another using their Shikai to unleash even more power in their attack on Fang Rui.

Chapter 423 Learning

"You guys... are so weak!"

Although he didn't use any other powers, relying solely on pure martial arts, Fang Rui was still able to overpower the group who were already using Zanpakuto.

The ability to use all five senses? With the assistance of his perception abilities such as Observation Haki, it did not cause Fang Rui any trouble.

An ability that will cause injury upon contact? If you don't touch it, there's no problem.

A spiritual energy shockwave? That's a bit troublesome, but if you're fast enough, you can avoid being hurt by the shockwave and hit the enemy instead.

In short, the abilities and strength displayed by Shinji Hirako and others did not pose a sufficient threat to Fang Rui.

"I'm quite curious about what your Bankai looks like since you don't use it."

Fang Rui, who seemed quite at ease, said with a smile.

Hirako Shinji and the others retreated, no longer continuing their attack on Fang Rui, but instead gathered together, watching Fang Rui with wary expressions.

"Everyone... how about we take a break for a bit?" At this moment, Kisuke Urahara, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, clapped and entered, drawing some of the crowd's attention.

No one said anything, waiting for Kisuke Urahara to continue.

"Given the current situation, even if you continue fighting for several hours, you might not be able to determine a winner. Why don't you sit down and chat for a while?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded one after another, indicating that they agreed with Kisuke Urahara's suggestion.

"Since this is a discussion meeting, of course we should have some snacks and tea..."

Fang Rui suddenly appeared next to Urahara Kisuke and stated his request.

"I want to eat cake," Jiu Nanbai said, raising her hand.

"Give me a bottle of wine..."

"My requirements are very low, just a steak set meal."

As everyone present ordered their food one by one, Kisuke Urahara's expression gradually changed, and his smile became slightly stiff.

"Okay...okay." Since it was a customer's request, Kisuke Urahara didn't refuse. It was just that the amount of money required was a bit high, giving him the impression that Shinji Hirako and the others were there to freeload...

After instructing the shop staff to purchase the food ordered by everyone, Kisuke Urahara led them to a rock. The area was very flat, with a platform made of planks and slats covered with tatami mats. Several tea tables were placed in the center of the tatami mats.

The group sat down one after another and began to discuss important matters.
