Chapter 1510: The Choice

As soon as Su Xiao appeared, Soi Fon wanted to rush toward him, but was blocked by Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Eh~"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the crowd around him suspiciously. Unfortunately, he was a strength-based person. Although his IQ wasn't low, he clearly couldn't calculate better than old schemers like Su Xiao and Aizen.

"I didn't expect these Ryoka to be Byakuya's accomplices."

Ichimaru Gin immediately added a knife, releasing his Reiatsu, and after drawing the short blade from his waist, he rushed toward Unohana Retsu unhurriedly.

Others present might still be a bit confused, but Flower-sister was as clear as a mirror in her heart. She arrived in front of Abarai Renji in a few steps. Among everyone present, Abarai Renji had the least suspicion—almost no suspicion at all.

"Take her away, go that way."

Flower-sister, while speaking, lightly tossed Kuchiki Rukia behind her. Abarai Renji hurriedly caught her, naturally in a princess carry.

"This is..."

Abarai Renji clearly didn't belong to the brainy type either. In his thinking, only Su Xiao was a villain, and everyone else should be on the same side. Why did they suddenly have internal strife?

"Don't hesitate, their time might be running out."

The direction Flower-sister pointed was precisely the direction of the plasma ball. Although she had stopped the execution, she believed in Yamamoto Genryusai and Kyoraku Shunsui. Only these two could quickly resolve the current predicament.

The reason Flower-sister handed Kuchiki Rukia to Abarai Renji was, first, she wanted to free her hands to deal with Su Xiao—in Flower-sister's heart, Su Xiao was the heart-worrying threat to the Seireitei—and second, Abarai Renji had a special relationship with Rukia. The two lived together in Rukongai during their childhood, and later entered the Shin'o Academy, where they were also classmates, somewhat like childhood sweethearts. According to Flower-sister's judgment, the only person present who couldn't have ill intentions toward Rukia was Abarai Renji.

Abarai Renji looked around at everyone present. The situation had become somewhat clear. Soi Fon, Ichimaru Gin, and Kuchiki Byakuya were all going to execute Rukia. But taking Rukia to the direction where Yamamoto Genryusai was, she might die just the same.

After only a brief consideration, Abarai Renji decided to act according to his own thoughts. He held Kuchiki Rukia and rushed into the forest quickly.

Su Xiao looked at Abarai Renji's receding back, a smile appearing on his face.

"No wonder Aizen 'trusts' you so much, such a straightforward person..."

Before Su Xiao could finish speaking, a long blade slashed across his neck.

"Unexpectedly strong."

In Flower-sister's surprised gaze, Su Xiao stood up. His body turned into large leaves and gradually dissipated in the air. It was Aizen's hypnosis ability; he had been present all along.

Unohana Retsu immediately thought of something. Just as she was about to turn and chase after someone, Ichimaru Gin blocked her way.

"Captain Unohana, how does it feel to be a traitor to the Seireitei?"

Ichimaru Gin looked at Flower-sister with a smile, and Flower-sister also showed a gentle smile. Facts proved that people who were smiling all day long weren't easy to mess with.

In the forest, Abarai Renji rushed through the trees quickly.

Ding~

A crisp sound came, and Abarai Renji immediately stopped.

"Cap... Captain Tosen?"

Abarai Renji looked at the man blocking his way with surprise—it was Ninth Division Captain Tosen Kaname.

Tosen Kaname didn't pay attention to Abarai Renji at all. His right arm swung forward, and a white silk cloth wrapped around Abarai Renji in a spiral and rotated rapidly.

"This is..."

Before Abarai Renji could finish speaking, he felt his eyes blur, and the dazzling sunlight shone into his eyes. The location he was in was no longer in the forest.

The item Tosen Kaname used was provided by Aizen. This thing had spatial properties and could teleport specific people or objects over a short to medium distance.

At the same time, Su Xiao, Aizen, and Ichimaru Gin were also wrapped in that white silk cloth.

Strong light shone into Abarai Renji's eyes, and he subconsciously narrowed them.

"Welcome, Abarai."

Aizen's voice came from behind Abarai Renji.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and a long blade pierced through Abarai Renji's chest. His pupils widened, and unbearable sharp pain filled his body.

With a swish, the long blade cut to the side, the blade edge slashing out from Abarai Renji's side, incidentally severing one of his arms. Yes, just incidentally—this blade that pierced Abarai Renji was simply too sharp.

"Aizen, when can you break the habit of liking to talk nonsense?"

Su Xiao kicked Abarai Renji away, and Kuchiki Rukia in Abarai Renji's arms fell to the ground, her body covered in warm blood.

"Ren... ji?"

Rukia muttered to herself. Su Xiao grabbed the clothing on the back of Rukia's neck and tossed her toward Aizen.

"Let, go, her."

Abarai Renji, whose chest had been cut open by a blade, struggled to stand up. Seeing this scene, Aizen smiled.

"Abarai-kun, you..."

Pfft~

A long blade pierced through Abarai Renji's throat. Aizen had just been about to "reminisce" with Abarai Renji, but the little brother Renji had already cooled down.

A golden treasure chest fell to the ground. The reason Abarai Renji died so quickly was that he had just been teleported here when he was pierced through the chest by Su Xiao, who was stronger than him, giving him no chance to react at all.

Ichimaru Gin, who witnessed all this, smiled even more happily. He knew Aizen's hobby. Now that Aizen's layout had played the Seireitei crowd in the palm of his hand, it was clear he wanted to share his plan with Abarai Renji. Unfortunately, there was someone present who didn't like nonsense, and solved Abarai Renji in two blades. Aizen clearly didn't know the truth that villains die from talking too much.

"He can't hear it anymore, continue."

Su Xiao lightly shook the blood off his long blade. Aizen smiled. His plan had successfully concluded, so he certainly wouldn't fall out with Su Xiao over such a small matter. Moreover, those captains would arrive soon.

Aizen took a stone rod the length of a finger from his bosom and began to prepare to strip the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body. Seeing this, Su Xiao notified Bubu Wang to remove the 【Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Device】. Plasma liquid was very precious, so save it where possible.

Just as the 【Negative Ion Plasma Superconducting Device】 was removed, flames shot into the sky from afar. Seeing these flames, Aizen knew there wasn't much time left.

From the conclusion of the plan until now, Su Xiao, Aizen, Ichimaru Gin, and Tosen Kaname hadn't acted much. This showed how meticulously Aizen had arranged the plan. The small changes during the period made those Qiyuezhe watching from the sidelines look confused. They hadn't expected Aizen to change the plan on a small scale.

Several dark green wooden thorns grew from the ground. Aizen's right arm turned into wood, and his right arm pierced into Rukia's chest without any obstruction, finally taking out a crystal the size of a walnut.

Aizen's wood-turned arm gradually recovered. He looked at the Hogyoku in his hand.

"So it's such a small thing, truly amazing."

Aizen just looked at the semi-finished Hogyoku in his hand, seemingly savoring something. A moment later, he put the Hogyoku into his bosom. Just as Aizen obtained the Hogyoku, Su Xiao received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.

【Prompt: The Hunter has completed the main quest (second ring). Do you want to activate the main quest (third ring)?】

【Warning: The main quest (third ring) will involve the Tier 5 Qiyuezhe area!】

【The Hunter can return to Reincarnation Paradise after completing the main quest (second ring). This is a normal return, with no penalty.】

【If the Hunter chooses to activate the main quest (third ring), the main quest (third ring) reward will be x3, and the treasure chest gain will be increased by 100%.】 ===== CHAPTER 1511 =====
