"Worry about what? What is there to worry about? Ichigo is inside, not outside! A general in the field is not bound by orders from the sovereign. He handles matters inside, while we handle matters outside. At worst, we just fight a battle!"
"Anyway, after two and a half years when Ichigo comes out with his power, those Xiguo dogs will be completely left behind!"
"Just two and a half years. Could anyone possibly use two and a half years to wipe us out?"
"That's right!"
Everyone agreed with the words of the earlier brother.
However, if one only sees this level of the conflict regarding the Dongguo and Xiguo Players, it's merely ordinary situational analysis.
Regarding the conflict between the Dongguo and Xiguo Players, some analytical masters saw more.
"Brothers, let me say this: compared to the turmoil you mentioned, I'm actually more concerned about the game's attitude!"
"You all know the definition of using game currency to press a bet: it's giving someone a trial, difficult but not impossible to resist."
"But for Lan Da's trial, after Fei Kuan told Ichigo about the matter, Lan Da basically had no room for struggle, it's certain death. This undoubtedly violates the game rules."
"But why would the game violate its own rules to ensure Lan Da's death?"
"Don't you remember the game's prompt? It doesn't want Players fighting each other!"
"And Lan Da clearly paid no attention to this prompt. He's been constantly finding ways to fight Dongguo Players and persecute them!"
"So, Lan Da didn't give the Players he persecuted a chance, so the game isn't giving him a chance either!"
"When Ichigo arrived, the game began guiding him to clean up the Xiguo Players. It's because the game is very displeased with those who actively disrupt order!"
Everyone was shocked by the words of this analytical master:
"Holy crap, you can interpret it that way? But why does what you say sound so reasonable!"
"It does make sense. So, if there are games in the future, should we treat the game's prompts as rules?"
The analytical master replied: "Best to do so. After all, we don't fully understand the game's power. But this is something to consider later."
After saying this, the analytical master fell silent.
However, his words sparked deep thought among everyone.
And it must be said, the analytical master truly is an analytical master. The game indeed thought this way. Every Player is valuable, and the game cannot tolerate internal consumption of that value!
Perhaps even Ichigo didn't expect that one day he would be someone else's blade!
Of course, it's a blade he's willing to be.
Watching the standoff ahead, Ichigo yawned, feeling somewhat bored.
But then, atop the Sokyoku Hill, a scorching Reiatsu began to grow restless!
"!" Ichigo was startled, feeling urgent.
"Although I don't want to fight you, I'm in a bit of a hurry!"
Bypassing the people still glaring at each other, Ichigo, holding Momo in one hand and drawing Zangetsu with the other, took the initiative to attack first!
And his first target was precisely Omaeda, the protective umbrella for the Xiguo Players!
Facing Ichigo's assault, Ran Do finally released his Shikai: "Crush, Gegetsuburi!"
A huge spiked ball and chain appeared in Ran Do's hand and was thrown at Ichigo!
Unfortunately, among the generally weak Lieutenants, Omaeda is a good identity. His Shikai is very powerful, even earning him the title 'Omaeda-sama'.
And Omaeda's actual strength isn't as pathetic as his appearance suggests.
However, the person replacing Omaeda was clearly inferior to the original.
Gegetsuburi was thrown, clashing with Zangetsu. The seemingly heavy spiked ball was easily shattered by Ichigo's blade.
Simultaneously, blue Reiatsu gathered on Ichigo's blade!
"Getsuga... Tensho!" A full-power Getsuga Tensho slashed towards Ran Do!
Driven by fear of death, Ran Do used Omaeda's signature Shunpo!
"Oh, not bad?" Seeing his Getsuga Tensho dodged, Ichigo was a bit surprised.
On the Player ranking this month, Ran Do's points had also jumped up significantly.
Clearly, during the life-and-death crisis just now, he had achieved a breakthrough!
However, facing Ichigo, such a breakthrough wasn't enough!
"It just means one more slash!" Ichigo followed closely with Hirenkyaku, which is faster and more agile, easily catching up to Ran Do fleeing with Shunpo.
Zangetsu came down!
Slash!
Struck by the sharp Zangetsu, Ran Do's entire body was cut into two halves by a single slash!
A large amount of blood and Ran Do's multicolored internal organs spilled onto the ground!
A Lieutenant was instantly killed by Ichigo with one slash!
Everyone was shocked seeing this scene.
"Lieutenant Omaeda-!" Hisagi exclaimed.
"Damn Ryoka!" Hisagi swung his Kazeshini at Ichigo, trying to trap him.
However, their fierce attacks and murderous intent towards Ichigo weakened in the next moment.
Because the current Omaeda had returned to his complete, unharmed state!
Ran Do had died within him, and the real Omaeda Marechiyo was back!
But Ichigo didn't care about this now.
Lightly deflecting Hisagi's Kazeshini, Ichigo Shunpo'd into the midst of the 2nd Division crowd!
Following the list Fei Kuan provided, Ichigo slashed one after another, like mowing grass in a Musou Game!
For a moment, limbs and body parts of Xiguo Players flew everywhere!
One by one, 2nd Division's members fell unconscious!
But in the eyes of the natives, they were merely knocked out by Ichigo. However, the Players themselves weren't under any perceptual block. The sight of their companions being disemboweled was still clearly remembered!
"No!"
"Help!"
"Spare me!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I want to confess to God! Let me go!"
Numerous wails arose!
However, hearing the wails of these Xiguo Players, Ichigo's heart was like iron.
He didn't specifically hunt down Xiguo Players, but anyone blocking his path was inevitably slain with a single slash!
In just one short minute, the majority of the Players in the 2nd Division were slaughtered by Ichigo! The terrifying speed of the massacre was shocking!
Then, having completely cut through the 2nd Division formation, Ichigo continued his rapid Shunpo sprint towards the top of the Sokyoku Hill!
