637.殛刑

Puff—
鲜血不断的喷溅，更木剑八毫不犹豫的将刺入自己体内的长刀拔出，随后松开了对方的手。
“不想说的话，我们就继续吧？放心好了，下次我一定会在你的刀贯穿我的身体前就抓住你的。”
"Damn..."
Dongxian stumbled backwards, his body riddled with grotesque wounds that left his mind hazy.
"Look at those stars, Ah Yao."
A long-lost voice whispered in his ear.
Perhaps it was just a hallucination brought on by his cloudy consciousness.
However, this also reminded him of why he insisted on the so-called "justice".
She was a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a cloud. He didn't know her, he had never even seen her face, but he knew she must be beautiful.
"I love the night sky the most, Ayo. Because it's like this world, shrouded in darkness with only a little light shining through, but even that can be obscured by clouds. Right, Ayo?"
The woman often chatted with him like this, calling out his name, but she never mentioned her own name. He only remembered that her voice was very pleasant, so pleasant that he always forgot to tell her that he really liked clouds that covered the sky.
```html“I'm getting married, Aya. He's a death god. Yesterday I also received the acceptance letter from the academy, and I will become a death god too. As a death god, I will participate in the battle against Hollows and protect the peace of this world. These words... I wanted to say them to you, Aya, before I leave.” The woman said this before parting.```
“Congratulations, I really wish... I could do something for you,” he replied.
“Thank you, but... just take care of yourself. I will come back often and hope you'll still be willing to listen to me then,” she said.
"Yes, I can."
This is an agreement that cannot be fulfilled.
There was laughter in her voice when she said "it's settled" but she never came back since then.
We met again at a funeral.
```htmlHe prepared her funeral because she had no relatives, born on Luihun Street.
The person who killed her was her husband, just because of a minor dispute that led to killing a colleague, just because of the difference in status.```
She had been eagerly hoping for world peace, possessing an unbeatable sense of justice and fighting for the cause, yet she ultimately fell at the hands of her own comrades.
Why did this happen? Is it not enough to uphold justice in order to pray for world peace? Then... I want to obtain power, the kind of power that can bring about peace.
At that moment, Dong Xian was about to grasp the Zanpakuto left behind by the woman who had passed away.
She was a beautiful person, just like the purity of justice in his heart. She gave him the only light in his darkness.
只可惜这个世界是扭曲的。
就连宣称着为了守护世界平衡的死神也并非全是正义的存在，他们大多数都只是迂腐的家伙，在乎的只有自己的地位而已。
因此弱小的正义最后的结局是被黑暗笼罩，被云雾遮蔽。
他逃不出黑暗，从此以后也不再喜欢云。
“如果说正义还不够的话，那就让我来成为正义吧。然后让这个世界上的一切邪恶，都像云一样烟消云散。”
东仙要握紧了手中的斩魄刀，稳住身形。
他已经没有多少力气了，这大概是最后一击。
“现在的我，已经有足够的力量了吗？就拿我对正义的一切认知来赌一把吧！”
The long sword pierced through the darkness and hurled towards Gengi Mugikubo.
Dong Xian firmly believed that his justice would never lose to anyone.
But unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong opponent.
Pa.
Mugikubo Gengi, with an expressionless face, held Dong Xian's hand that was wielding the sword. As he had predicted, the sword did not inflict any harm on him.
"What's going on? Your sword seems to have slowed down?"
Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto frowned, looking quite unhappy.
"Weren't you supposed to carry out a just punishment on me? This won't do. I don't know what your idea of justice is, but now you even hesitate to grip your sword. Has justice deviated from its course? Or is this really the extent of your abilities? It's truly disappointing."
说着，更木剑八无情的举起手中的长刀，挥下。
Ka—
伴随着飞溅的鲜血，遮蔽光明的漆黑的球形领域在一瞬间破碎。
更木剑八扛起长刀转身准备离开。
“滴答——”
鲜血不住的躺下，东仙要艰难的站在原地，交错的狰狞刀痕在他的胸前让他显得格外狼狈。
“还早呢……还没结束……我的正义……”
“我管你的正义，无聊至极。我已经玩腻了，对半死不活的家伙没有兴趣。”
更木剑八撇过头无趣的打量着眼前伤痕累累的男人，此刻这个男人正跌跌撞撞的朝着自己过来。
He hates this kind of guy the most.
"If you want to die so badly, then just go ahead and die."
As he spoke, Genkai raised his sword and mercilessly struck down.
Ka—
A sound of shattering echoed.
His sword did not land on Dong Xianyao's body, but on the hard helmet.
Another equally injured figure stumbled and stood between him and Dong Xianyao at the critical moment.
头上的头盔破碎，终于露出了狛村左阵那张隐藏在其下的狰狞面孔，那是一张野兽的脸。
"Tsk."
更木剑八脸上浮现出一丝不悦，“你怎么回事啊，涅？连自己的对手都看不好么？”
"Where? I just prefer to slowly torture people to death, but this guy's body is surprisingly strong." Nnoitra chuckled as he strolled over.
"Cough cough..."
Kumomura's left leg was wolf-like and he knelt on the ground in distress. His entire body was covered in ferocious wounds that were being corroded by a strange color of toxic blood exposed in the air.
```htmlAt this moment, both he and Dongxian are too exhausted to continue fighting, and the outcome is no longer in doubt.
"Really, I have no interest in a defeated dog or a half-dead cripple."```
更木剑八不屑的收回手中的刀，目光冰冷的望着眼前故意将人放过来的涅茧利。
这货明明占据着绝对的优势，怎么可能轻易让狛村找到机会过来救人？
"It's you, I haven't chopped yet."
"Haha, what a coincidence, I've also disliked you for a long time."
Two men who were originally on the same side are now staring at each other with dangerous eyes and their smiles almost turn into grimaces.
只是突然间远处升起的强大灵力将他们的注意力吸引过去。
"This is..."
两人转过头望向双殛之丘的方向。
“哎呀哎呀，行刑开始了呢。”涅茧利饶有兴趣的呵呵笑着。
"Tsk, what a coincidence. You're lucky this time," Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto's face showed an excited smile as he ignored Nemu Kurotsuchi next to him. He had to hurry over there because there were better prey.
······
"Has it started?"
与此同时，处在静灵廷各个方位的所有人几乎都感觉到了那庞大的灵力，而这似乎仅仅是双殛解放的前兆而已。
日番谷冬狮郎收回目光，加快了脚步，“松本，快点！”
"Yes!"
Both of them had sweat on their foreheads, hastening towards the depths of the Central 46 Room in the Seireitei. Their objective was not the execution grounds, but the Central 46 Room. Rushing to the execution grounds would not solve the problem at hand. Toshiro Hitsugaya's intuition told him that the root of this incident should be in the Central 46 Room.
On the other side, the Thirteenth Squad barracks.
"Oh no! Seishin! The execution is about to start! Why hasn't the captain come out yet?" Shinichiro noticed the huge spiritual pressure coming from the Sokyoku Hill and asked anxiously.
"Shut up! I can feel it too! Anyone can feel it, right!?" Kiyone Tigre's forehead veins bulged as she yelled, "Stop screaming, you monkey with body odor and a goatee!"
```html“You're just a wild howler yourself, aren't you?” Kohaku Tennosuke was speechless.
“I said shut up!”
Toraichi Seion ignored the idiot behind him, turned his head, and strode quickly towards the room where the captain was, lightly knocking on the door.```
“队长！好了没有啊？马上就要对朽木小姐行刑了，再不抓紧的话……”
Ka—
话还没说完，房间的门就被打开了。
一股几乎超越双殛的可怕灵力从其中翻涌而出，一时间让门外的虎彻清音愣在了原地。
“抱歉，让你们久等了。”
虚弱的声音从门内传来，浮竹十四郎手握着像是盾牌和长棍的诡异灵具从其中走出，而刚才那股可怕的灵力正是这件灵具发出的。
"It took me a lot of time to break the seal on this guy, but I finally succeeded... Since no one paid attention to my suggestions to the Central Room 46, we have no choice but to use force now... Let's go - "
"Go and destroy the Sōkyoku!"
"Yes!"
Torachin Seine and Kogune Sentarō replied in unison, showing no fear on their faces.
······
"What... what happened?"
On the way, Inoue Orihime and her group also felt an unusual spiritual energy fluctuation. However, since the release of the Sōkyoku was an extremely rare event in their lives, they were not sure what was happening exactly.
"Execution is about to begin." explained Kusurugi Yorimitsu.
"Ah! If we don't hurry now..." Ishida Uryu hesitated.
"...Well, I'll have to take a step forward first." Kusurugi Yorimitsu laughed, hesitating for a moment.
"Huh? Why?" Inoue Orihime was puzzled.
"You guys just need to keep going forward. Anyway, you can get to Sokyoku Hill no matter which direction you take. I just think Ichigo will come from that side, so we have to go help him!" Aizen Sousuke laughed as he pointed in the direction near Sokyoku Hill in the distance.
“谢……谢谢。”井上织姬闻言有些感激。
明明立场上他们还是敌人来着，这个女孩却一直这么帮助他们。
“嘻嘻，真是奇怪，谢我干嘛？我帮一护是应该的嘛！”
Grass Deer 8,000 Liu walked faster with a smirk on his face, "Because Ichigo and Zangetsu are very good friends!"
“……”
Tatsuki Arisawa didn't know how to explain it.
Friends? Referring to the ones who fight each other to death with swords?
"Anyway, I'll take the first step! You guys should hurry up and follow me!"
As she spoke, Kusakaga Arata flowed away from the group in a few quick strides.
"So fast..."
石田雨龙看着几个呼吸之间就消失的身影额头冒出冷汗，这小姑娘究竟是何方神圣？
“我们也走吧……”
茶渡泰虎朝着两人说着。
"Huh? Which way do I go?" Ishida Yulong was confused again.
With his current speed, even if he tried his best, he couldn't catch up with that girl...
But soon he knew which way to go.
Taiko Chawatari lowered his posture and lifted the two people onto his shoulders with one hand each.
"Hold on."
Thud-
"Ugh...ah..."
With cries of agony, the exploding footsteps instantly spread fine cracks across the ground.
几人的身形化作残影朝着双殛之丘的方向飞掠而去。
······
“我……还活着吗？”
距离双殛之丘不远的地方，倒在地上的阿散井恋次悠悠的醒来。
“不……不仅还活着，似乎还……变强了？”
他捏了捏拳头，打量了一下毫发无损甚至比之前还要坚实的身体一阵疑惑。
In his impression, even the strongest fourth division captain with therapeutic abilities would not be able to fully recover himself in such a short period of time and his body was like a rebirth, surpassing all expectations.
"What's happening exactly?"
Kojiro Sasakibe stood up full of doubt, then slapped his cheeks forcefully.
It's not a dream.
And it doesn't seem like the time to be thinking about these questions.
Raising his head to gaze upon the constantly surging spiritual pressure atop the enormous hill, Renji Abarai's gaze became firm.
He could only treat this as a 'miracle' bestowed upon him by the gods, allowing him to survive and have another chance to charge towards his goal.
······
Dang -
The cane lightly tapped on the ground, as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni calmly looked at the decaying wood of Rukia Kuchiki before him.
"Very well, since you have nothing to say, then... release the Shikon no Tama."
With his command, the already powerful spiritual power fluctuation rose to an unimaginable level.
Rukia Kuchiki's body, which was restrained, rose with the rising stones of the execution platform, and soon reached the height of the towering double-ended spear.
"This...is such a terrifying power..."
Below, the officers who had never witnessed the true liberation of the Double Spears were covered in sweat from the terrifying pressure emanating from the Double Spears.
气浪伴随着赤红的火焰将长矛完全包裹，逐渐的双殛的形态开始产生变化。
火焰开始蔓延，气流开始涌动发出呼啸的声音，似是金色的凤凰在空中展翼鸣叫。
毁榖王。
这就是双殛真正的形态。
之所以会让包括队长在内的所有都感到压力，是因为它拥有相当于一百万把斩魄刀的破坏力，只在作为殛刑的最终执行者之时才会显现，当它贯穿罪人身躯的时刻殛刑也就结束了。
In mid-air, Decidueye calmly faced off with the gigantic figure burning with flames.
At this moment, she may have been the closest to death she had ever been.
She knew she probably wouldn't die, but facing such terrifying power, she still had doubts... How could they save themselves from such a force?
很快就有人给了她答桉。
那仿佛燃烧着整个天空的火焰之鸟在她眼前不足一米的距离停滞了。
因为有一个少年挡在他们之间，是黑崎一护。
"Hi! Have you been waiting long?"
The cloak on his body rustled in the strong wind as the young man smiled and greeted the girl in front of him. Behind him was the legendary bird of fire that seemed to be able to consume everything.
巨刃背负于身后，双殛之矛足以摧毁一切的力量在这柄宽阔的刀面前仿佛变得无力了，任凭它如何挥舞着翅膀都再也无法前进分毫。
"This is..."
A sudden scene in front of their eyes surprised the crowd below.
"How...how is this possible? He actually blocked it!" Sting's forehead broke out in a sweat as he looked at the youth standing in front of the Double Spear of Blazing Photos, "The destructive power that can counter hundreds of thousands of Double Spears of Blazing Photos...was actually blocked by him with just a single knife?! Who...who exactly is he?!"
```html“Qixu... Is this kid the one who defeated Mokugii?” Kyoraku Shunsui chuckled, holding down the straw hat on his head as if it were about to be blown away, asking the woman beside him.```
"Hmm..." Yin Shiqixu nodded blankly, "His appearance matches the description in the intelligence. He should be the one..."
"Oh, I see. That's interesting... So it's them who caught up in the end..."
Jing Lechunshui walked forward with a smile.
Although this kid has stolen the limelight, it's still up to them next. After all, the execution of the Double Spear Punishment won't end like this. That burning giant bird won't stop until it pierces the target, and each attack will become more powerful. Unless...it's destroyed.
果然，一阵响彻天际的啼叫声在空中响起，似是愤怒。
只见燃烧着的巨鸟挥动着翅膀开始后退，似乎是想要拉开距离准备第二次的冲击。
"Huh, you still want to come?"
Ichigo Kurosaki turned around and stood in mid-air, looking at the retreating bird with a confident smile, ready to attack again.
"Be careful, the second strike of Shuriken is not so easy to block..." Rukia Kuchiki reminded with some concern.
“不试试看怎么知道呢？”
黑崎一护没有分毫要退让的意思，“而且……来这里的人可不止我一个啊！”
“四天抗盾——我拒绝！”
An anxious and slightly impatient cry came from afar, becoming louder and closer.
In mid-air, Inoue Orihime sat on the shoulder of Tsukishima Taicho who leaped into the air, shouting out with her hand extended.
Four tiny shadows streaked across the sky, coming to a stop in front of Ichigo Kurosaki and unveiling a conical shield.
Zing—
The twin blades of flame encasing the Zangetsu once again met resistance, the blade tips continuously scraping against the force field and creating a dazzling display of sparks.
However, its effort was in vain as the destructive power of millions of zanpakuto was not able to shatter the shield. In fact, the light on the shield became brighter and brighter.
量变有时候的确能够引起质变，但对现在的情况很显然不适用。
