Bleach: From the moment I was invited by Squad Zero

Liu Chuan, who had been "acting" as if his spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly and his body was swaying, suddenly raised his head.

That usually calm face showed no panic at this moment, only an almost indifferent calmness, and... a faint hint of impatience.

"Is this your entire plan?"

The calm voice, though not loud, clearly pierced through Scarface's roar and the sound of weapons cutting through the air, reaching the ears of everyone present.

The moment the words fell—

boom--!!!

A terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from Yanagawa's center!

This is a powerful spiritual pressure that truly breaks through the limits of a Shinigami!

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

The well-trained Tsunayo family assassins who rushed in from all directions didn't even utter a sound.

The instant this spiritual pressure erupted, it was as if they had been struck by an invisible giant hammer. Their eyes rolled back, and they were slammed to the ground like broken sacks.

His bones made a sickening cracking sound, and he instantly lost consciousness, his fate unknown.

The weapons in their hands clattered and fell to the ground.

The executioner, Scarface, was the first to be hit, and his forward-charging figure seemed to have crashed into an invisible iron wall!

He felt as if he were sinking into the deepest, stickiest swamp, or as if he were carrying an immense burden, making every movement extremely difficult.

His狰狞 face was instantly replaced by extreme horror and disbelief. Veins bulged on his forehead and neck, and cold sweat poured out like a waterfall, instantly soaking his clothes.

He struggled with all his might, but could barely maintain his stance, his arm gripping the knife trembling uncontrollably.

As for Tsunayoshiro and... the sneer on his face didn't even have time to fully bloom before it froze completely, then was swallowed up by boundless fear.

The moment that immense spiritual pressure descended, he felt like a withered leaf in a storm, no, more like an ant being pressed firmly to the ground by an invisible giant hand!

With a thud, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly disheveled. He struggled to breathe, unable to even lift his head, and could only stare intently at the ground, his face drained of color, leaving only boundless paleness and horror.

The entire ruins fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Only the sobbing of the night wind through the broken walls, the heavy, bellows-like breathing of the scarred man, and the chattering of his teeth could be heard.

Liu Chuan slowly walked up to Scar, who was stiff and covered in cold sweat, and calmly glanced at him.

"Stay put, don't move, and don't even think about running away or resisting." Liu Chuan's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"If you're lucky, you might still have a chance to live. Of course, you can also try attacking me now."

Scarface trembled. When he met Liu Chuan's eyes, the madness and ferocity that had been burning in his heart because of "freedom" was instantly extinguished as if doused with ice water.

He could clearly sense that killing him would be easier for the other party than crushing an ant.

That so-called "Spirit Binding Dust"? What a joke! It had absolutely no effect whatsoever against the opponent's terrifying spiritual pressure!

Clang!

Scarface released his grip almost without hesitation, letting the menacing Zanpakuto fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

He struggled to raise his hands, making a gesture of complete surrender and resignation, and hoarsely said, "I... surrender."

Although he wanted freedom, he wasn't stupid, and he didn't want to die right now.

Yanagawa stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Tsunayoshiro, who was lying on the ground like a lump of mud.

At this moment, Tsunayoshiro's mind was blank, with only boundless fear and a sense of absurdity frantically assaulting his cognition.

He heard Scarface's voice as he surrendered, dropping his knife, and he also heard Liu Chuan's calm yet thunderous words.

"No...it can't be! This can't be!" He barely managed to lift his head, staring intently at Liu Chuan, his voice distorted by extreme fear, filled with hysteria.

"You...you weren't already under the influence of 'Spirit Binding Dust'? Your spiritual power should have been sealed! How could...how could you still have such strong spiritual pressure?!"

Seeing his incredulous expression, Liu Chuan finally revealed a mocking smile.

He paused, and under the watchful gaze of Tsunayoshiro and his suddenly contracting pupils, he slowly raised his right hand, and the barely perceptible spiritual light at his fingertips quietly extinguished.

"By the way, from the moment you started smugly introducing your 'script,' I recorded every single word you uttered using the Kido technique."

It was recorded?! Tsunayoshi was struck dumb, his whole body trembling violently, a bone-chilling cold instantly shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

As if to verify Liu Chuan's words, and also to deliver the final blow, Liu Chuan stopped looking at him and began to chant softly.

The sound, though soft, possessed a strange penetrating power, instantly resonating with the omnipresent spiritual network of the Seireitei:

"Binding Path No. 77, Heavenly Void Net".

hum...

A surge of spiritual energy, centered on Yanagawa, instantly spread throughout the entire Seireitei sky—from Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the other captains, and the other sages and judges of the Central 46…

The next moment, all the locked targets, whether they were handling official business, resting, cultivating, or sleeping, were targeted.

Without warning, a string of words filled with resentment, smugness, and conspiracy replayed in my mind—

That was Tsunayoshiro's voice, each word crystal clear:

"Yanagawa, listen to the 'script' I've prepared for you—Yanagawa, a member of the Zero Squad, encounters the escaped convict 'Scarface' and goes to chase him alone, engaging in a fierce battle."

However, the perpetrator was strong and experienced in combat. Although Liu Chuan fought bravely, he was ultimately no match for him and unfortunately... was attacked and killed!

"...If anyone's to blame, it's you for being too flamboyant and unrestrained, blocking my path and causing me such a humiliating disgrace!"

"...This is a special 'Spirit Binding Dust' made by the Tsuna Yayo family...Even the captain..."

Throughout the Seireitei, the high-ranking members of Soul Society who were contacted by "Ten-Ting Kong-Luo" all paled!

In the First Squad's barracks, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni suddenly opened his eyes, the teacup in his hand shattering silently, and a terrifying heat wave flashed by.

In the Sixth Division, Byakuya Kuchiki suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming with icy coldness.

Meanwhile, the sages in the Central Chamber 46, who had not yet rested, collectively fell silent.

Tsunayoshi collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, his eyes completely vacant, muttering unconsciously, "It's over...it's all over..."

All his schemes, all his reliance, all his malice and pride, were rendered meaningless by Liu Chuan's nonchalant counterattack and public execution-like "Heavenly Execution."

It all vanished like a bubble, plunging him into an abyss of no return.

Liu Chuan withdrew his spell, glanced at the completely devastated Tsunayoshiro, then at Scarface who was obediently squatting to the side, and finally his gaze swept over the dead soldiers lying haphazardly on the ground.
