The urgent horn blared, accompanied by the whistling wind, as it sped past Chadu.

Boom! ! !

The truck crashed straight into a utility pole on the side of the road, and most of the cab collapsed instantly.

"Whoo~~~"

Sitting on the concrete floor, Chadu breathed a sigh of relief. "That was close."

"It was a close call; it was aimed at you."

Chadu looked up and saw Chu Yang walking past him. He asked in surprise, "Yang, what are you doing here?"

Chu Yang didn't answer him, but walked step by step toward the out-of-control truck.

"What do you mean by coming for me?" Chadu stood up, holding the birdcage, and followed behind Chu Yang, asking.

The two walked to the truck, and Chu Yang pointed to the driver's cab, saying, "Take a look for yourself."

Chadu looked towards the driver's seat, his expression suddenly changing.

The driver's cab was empty!

This is a truck without a driver!

"You should leave here first, otherwise there might be accidental injury later."

Chu Yang pointed to the alley entrance and said to Chadu.

"What do you mean?"

Chadu asked nervously.

Chu Yang shook his head. At the end of the street, a humanoid phantom with bluish skin had appeared.

He ignored Chadu and went to meet him alone.

Chu Yang used Wood Release to condense a wooden sword in his hand, then wrapped it with Armament Haki.

At last……

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his breath transforming into flowing ribbons of light, as brilliant as the Milky Way.

This is the ultimate form of breathing technique.

Breath of the Source!

A terrifying aura emanated from Chu Yang, spreading outwards like a tidal wave.

Xu stopped in his tracks, his body trembling slightly.

The human in front of me is not Death!

It sensed no trace of death's power from the other party.

but.

Death loomed over it like a shadow!

That terrifying aura wasn't even spiritual pressure; it was just sheer presence.

How many battles did he go through, and how many enemies did he kill to accumulate such a terrifying aura?

This is the first time that Xu has felt fear towards ordinary humans.

Chu Yang walked faster and faster.

The figure cast a trail of fading light in the twilight.

With the blessing of the Breath of the Source, the wooden sword in his hand seemed to come alive.

Swing the knife down!

Chu Yang had already appeared behind Xu.

Sword energy coiled around Xu's body, shimmering and colorful, as if it were drowning him in the Milky Way.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The screams were not from pain, but from fear.

It could sense that the area where it was entangled by the band of light was crumbling, and at the current speed, it would die completely in ten seconds at most.

Chu Yang thrust the wooden sword into the ground with his backhand, resting his hand on the hilt as he carefully observed the scene.

"The Breathing of the Source has broken through the existing bottleneck and become a higher-dimensional power. In terms of effect, it is already very close to the damage that a Zanpakuto can inflict on a spirit."

"If used in conjunction with a Zanpakuto, it would definitely create an extremely terrifying power."

"Most importantly, the Breath of the Source is improving every day. At least I'm far from feeling its limits. If it continues to develop..."

As I was thinking, the screams around me suddenly stopped.

Chu Yang looked up and saw a hideous and terrifying gate hanging high in the void.

The gates of hell open, taking the murderer's soul into hell.

Chu Yang was stunned.

He thought that the Breath of the Source would completely destroy this Hollow, but the current situation doesn't seem to be the case.

"Next time we need to find a more powerful virtual experiment, otherwise it won't be able to withstand the strain."

Chu Yang sighed, somewhat regretfully, and then left the alley.

After a while.

Rukia and Ichigo were drawn to the vicinity by the intense spiritual pressure, and then they saw the Gates of Hell in the sky.

I just happened to witness the murderer's soul being dragged into hell.

Rukia was completely shocked.

"There's clearly no Grim Reaper around here!"

"What happened?"

Just as Rukia was in a panic, Ichigo spotted Chad standing at the street corner.

He ran over immediately.

"Chadu, what are you doing here?"

Ichigo walked up to Chad, but his attention was drawn to the parrot in Chad's arms. He sensed that a human soul was hidden inside it.

Chad recounted everything that had just happened, and then took Ichigo to see the driverless truck.

"It's an illusion!"

Rukia appeared silently behind the two of them, startling them.

"Your classmate killed a Hollow."

"It's not surprising that he could do this, given his abilities, but..."

Rukia stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

He stood there, frowning, his eyes revealing worry and doubt.

Yang told me that you could handle it...

Chad solemnly handed the parrot to Ichigo.

It was only during the ritual to guide Yuichi's soul to the afterlife that they learned the whole story.

The next day.

At school, Rukia found Chu Yang and asked him for details about his battle with Utsuro the day before.

Chu Yang simply said it was similar to last time.

Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, Rukia's intuition told her that Chu Yang was lying.

The questioning can only go so far.

Her relationship with Chu Yang wasn't close, and if she asked any further, she couldn't guarantee that Chu Yang wouldn't get angry.

Moreover, she often felt inexplicably palpitations when facing Chu Yang.

This palpitation has nothing to do with romantic love; it stems from an instinctive fear.

Rukia didn't want to admit it from the bottom of her heart, but her fear of Chu Yang was an objective fact.

Death is exceptionally sensitive to matters of the soul.

Rukia's fear stemmed from Chu Yang's soul.

She guessed that Chu Yang's soul must be hiding a huge secret.

After school.

For the first time ever, Rukia didn't return to Ichigo's house, but instead went to an unassuming general store.

The owner of the grocery store was a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat, who always had a smiling face.

He became enthusiastic as soon as he saw Rukia and began promoting the products in his shop.

"You know my current state, so please don't make such pointless jokes, Mr. Urahara!"
