"Two-hit kill, huh? This ability is kind of interesting," Rosse let out a light laugh, still unhurried and calm.
Of course he knew Sui Feng's Shikai ability. He could even be one hundred percent sure that her two-hit kill was useless against him.
A Soul Reaper's battle was a battle of spiritual pressure.
And Soul Reapers, unlike Quincy who could rely on the reishi in the air, all fought with the reishi inside their own bodies. Spiritual pressure determined a Soul Reaper's upper limit.
To affect him at all, one would at least need the level of spiritual pressure that Kyoraku Shunsui had.
With spiritual pressure as thin as Sui Feng's, which only reached captain level when she used Bankai, she could never break through his defense.
"Captain of Squad Two, Sui Feng, stop all your actions!"
As the aftershocks settled, Byakuya Kuchiki finally arrived, very late.
Wearing his noble formal clothes, he stood not far from Sui Feng, right hand on his sword hilt, ready to move at any mont.
The situation here was clear with just one glance.
Obviously, Rosse stood on the Shiba side, and Sui Feng was the attacker.
It was impossible for Shiba Kukaku to blow up her own ho and for Sui Feng to co over to stop her. Just the thought showed how impossible that was.
"Tch! You guys really ca fast."
Sui Feng clicked her tongue, but she still didn't want to give up yet.
It was only Byakuya who ca. She felt there was still a chance. As long as she used the two-hit kill on Rosse's arm again, she could quickly escape with Shiba Kukaku.
Right now, she had no other escape path.
Thinking this, Sui Feng imdiately reacted, pretending to withdraw.
When Byakuya saw this, he frowned slightly and flashed forward, chasing after her in the direction she retreated.
Since he had arrived, he couldn't possibly let the culprit leave so easily.
But just as he appeared beside the wall, Sui Feng suddenly stopped and instantly switched directions, charging toward Rosse.
Her speed was so fast it beca a blur, and she appeared beside Rosse in an instant.
Her second strike was about to stab Rosse's arm.
"You think your speed is fast?"
Smack!
Rosse struck without rcy, crushing all of Sui Feng's hope.
She didn't even see his movent clearly. She only felt her hand being grabbed.
"Bakudo number 61, Rikujokoro!"
Byakuya's angry voice sounded as six beams of light pierced Sui Feng's body and completely restrained her.
But that wasn't the end. Byakuya continued without chanting, "Bakudo number 63, Sajo Sabaku!"
Thick, serpent-like chains appeared from thin air, wrapping around Sui Feng and binding her tightly.
Being tricked right in front of him made even the always composed noble Byakuya lose a bit of his calm.
"You're caught now, Captain Sui Feng!", Rosse spoke teasingly, lightly pushing her hand away and letting her fall to the ground.
"Bastard! I really want to smash your mouth!", Sui Feng said angrily, still trying to struggle with her spiritual pressure.
"Captain Sui Feng, if you show even the slightest resistance to arrest, I will strike you down," Byakuya's cold voice sounded. He drew his sword and placed it at Sui Feng's neck.
With a blade at her throat, Sui Feng finally behaved.
Facing two captain level opponents while restrained by Bakudo, she knew she had no hope.
"Tell , I'm begging you, tell where that woman is," Sui Feng bit her lip and looked at Shiba Kukaku with pleading eyes.
Even now, she still wanted to know where Yoruichi was.
"She's in the world of the living, but you probably will never find her to take revenge," Kukaku gave two cold laughs and spat in Sui Feng's direction.
She wasn't so gentle person. If she were stronger than Sui Feng, she would have killed her long ago.
Destroying her entire family wasn't enough. She even ca to her door to tear down her house. What kind of thing was that?
"Lady Shiba, mind your conduct," Byakuya frowned slightly and reminded her.
In his eyes, soone from the Shiba clan, one of the five noble houses, behaving like this truly damaged noble dignity.
"She ca to my house to kill and blew it up like this, and you want to mind my conduct? Byakuya, you really are boring," Kukaku sneered and rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't call that," Byakuya looked slightly embarrassed. That was the nickna Yoruichi used to tease him.
Since Kukaku was Yoruichi's close friend, she naturally called him the sa way.
"Alright alright, enough about that. What do your Gotei 13 plan to do about what happened today?", Kukaku waved her hand, not wanting to waste ti on nas.
If they really counted by seniority, Byakuya would have to call her Aunt. She was from the sa generation as Byakuya's father.
But Soul Society respected strength above all. If not for Rosse backing her, she would lose just by standing next to Byakuya.
"We'll handle it by the rules. I'll give the Shiba clan a fair explanation. First, tell us what happened tonight," Byakuya said calmly.
Sui Feng tried to attack Kukaku. That was already unquestionable. She even tried to fight him.
No matter what, Sui Feng's cris would not be light.
"Well, now that things here are done, I want to hear what happened too."
"Count in."
Almost at the sa ti, one frivolous and one gentle voice sounded.
Unohana and Kyoraku Shunsui appeared from different directions, though they kept an appropriate distance.
They had sensed the spiritual pressure fluctuations and ca, but they didn't know the details.
Still, both Kyoraku and Unohana were inwardly leaning toward Rosse's side.
One look at the scene told them that the problem definitely ca from Sui Feng.
Otherwise, Byakuya wouldn't be calmly talking to Shiba Kukaku while Sui Feng was tied up and dumped on the ground.
"Since Captain Unohana and Captain Kyoraku are here, then I'll explain what happened just now," Kukaku gave them a cold glance and began describing what happened after she returned ho.
But her body remained pressed tightly against Rosse, clearly keeping her guard up toward Kyoraku.
"So that's how it was. You had just returned ho and were attacked by Captain Sui Feng. She even wanted you to tell her where Yoruichi was. Then do you know where she is?", Kyoraku raised a brow and asked casually.
"Of course I know," Kukaku sneered inside. She knew this old guy was no good.
"She's in the world of the living. I don't know exactly where. Why, she's a wanted criminal in Soul Society, but even if she contacts sotis, that doesn't make guilty, right?"
The nobles had extrely high authority in Soul Society. Even if they hid a criminal at ho, at most they would be verbally reprimanded. They would never receive any real punishnt.
Now it was only contact. It wasn't like they could imprison her for that.
Ever since she learned Rosse was from Hueco Mundo's Las Noches, Kukaku felt even more reassured.
Worst case, she would hand all the Shiba clan's heritage to Rosse and follow him to Hueco Mundo.
'With how rotten and filthy Soul Society was, Hueco Mundo might even be better.'
