Chapter 126: Fated Encounter, Meng Ling's Knife Soul

  "I didn't come here today to fight with you, so get out of the way. I don't want to hurt that delicate body of yours." Kishinagi said as soon as he saw Mu Lin draw her Zanpakuto.

  "What if I don't?" Upon hearing this, Meng Ling coldly laughed and said.

  "What you want is my power, and as long as you don't interfere with this matter, I can even give you my blood," said Karasuma Kaito.

  "Haha, you're talking about me as if I'm one of your soul hunters now. Let me tell you, I'm not a vampire, and I won't absorb other people's blood like you do without any scruples. When it comes to my companions, I'll ask for their opinions, but when it comes to enemies, I only have one way of dealing with them - strike first and talk later." Meng Ling raised the scythe in her right hand, Tian Yu, and said coldly.

  "Besides, I already possess the power to control the wind, so I don't need you at all. You're just a sparring partner for me now. For your own benefit, you've harmed humans and still refuse to change your ways. If you continue living in this world, you'll only bring chaos to its order." Dreaming said.

  "Haven't you ever killed anyone? What qualifications do you have to lecture me, beautiful miss?" Kiriya Kaito sneered.

  "Haha, if it were someone else, they might really be held back by your words, but I'm different. If you want to play a psychological game with me, you're still too tender." Now Meng Ling also felt the extremely calm feeling that Xiū Zhēn's mental state brought to his own battles, and how much help it was. If he were his former self, even if he really had such strong power now, he wouldn't be able to bring it out completely. In the trials of the Tower of Worship, Meng Ling grew not only in strength but also in mental state, from a teenager to a calm and peaceful realm.

  Although that's what he said, Meng Ling didn't become a puppet without emotions, but rather his mental state wouldn't fluctuate with the changes in the situation during battles, which is an important point for someone who fights.

  However, Karasuma Kaito has no such insight because he is now completely crazy. Whether it's his own companions or enemies, in his eyes, they are all just stepping stones for him to gain power.

  "You say I'm just a source of chaos for this world? Then what are you Death Gods doing? We Soul Hunters exist because of your failed experiments, but we're also living beings. Is our future only to be erased? If that's the case, then I'll change my own future." For some reason, Kiriya Godou, who was originally calm, exposed his brutal nature in just a few words from Mugen.

  "Your fate is indeed tragic, first because you have an almost infinite age and were shunned by those around you as a monster, and then suffered the blow of extinction. Your experience is really similar to that of a friend of mine, who was treated like a monster from childhood and had no one willing to interact with him, never having seen his parents... But this is not an excuse for hurting others, because you have a tragic fate you go hurt others, because you have no future you go destroy other people's futures, is this really your creed?"

  "The future? Ha ha, you're right, we Shinigami don't have a future. From the moment we were born, time has already stopped for us. So, we don't have a future, and if we do, it's only to be erased from existence. I won't accept that, why must we be the ones to be erased? What did we do wrong? Is this really our fate?" Kiyoshiro pressed in on Mu Lin, questioning him. Seeing Kiyoshiro closing in on Mu Lin, Ichigo also readied himself for battle.

  "Do you still believe in fate?" Meng Ling asked.

  "What is fate? As long as I have the powerful strength, I have the qualification to change my fate. However, first and foremost, I must avenge myself. The Soul Society, I will thoroughly destroy it." Kishinagi felt that continuing the conversation would drive him even more mad, so he also gave up on the idea of continuing the talk, his hands once again began to rotate with whirlwinds.

  "Destruction? Changing fate, you're actually the same as me, just different methods." Meng Ling said coldly, her right hand gripping the hilt of her Zhanxian blade tightening a few degrees.

  "Although I still don't know what kind of person you are, since you want to stop me, then go die." Karasuma Kanna coldly smiled and immediately the right hand wrapped in a hurricane shot straight towards Mugen's head.

  "Although even I don't know why, but the me who was initially excited to play with you ended up saying so much. Now it seems there's no chance to continue anyway. In that case, let's get started."

  Renji first used his Zanpakuto to block the attack from Shinso's right hand, then in an instant, he flashed away from where he was originally standing and appeared beside Ichigo and Byakuya, making a gesture with his hands as if to say "I've done my part, now it's up to you two".

  Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at Renji Abarai, who had retreated to the side, with an unusual look in his eyes. However, Ichigo didn't notice and began using his extreme speed to charge towards Byakuya. He resumed his own battle, and after seeing Ichigo's actions, Byakuya also joined the fight once again. Of course, after using his Bankai - Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, Byakuya's attacks became indiscriminate, almost hitting Ichigo several times. However, Ichigo dodged them with his speed. The battle between Byakuya, Ichigo, and Renji continued back and forth like this. Meanwhile, Rukia was not far away, holding her Zanpakuto and doing what every Shinigami would do - practicing her sword techniques.

  The so-called Katana Zen is to place one's katana in front of oneself, calm down and enter one's spiritual world, and communicate with the katana. Since the katana is actually a part of one's soul, when communicating with each other to understand each other, the intimacy will rise. When the intimacy is extremely high, and one's own strength is also very strong, it may be possible to make out the legendary卍解.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  At this time in Meng Ling's spiritual world, in front of the Supplying Tower...

  It's still the same, among many Western-style buildings, a completely Oriental ancient pagoda-style worship tower stands here, and on the empty land in front of the worship tower, there is always a stone table made of stone. Originally, there were only two people, Carmel and Sally, but when Dreaming came in today, she found a third figure.

  "Are you 'Tian Yu'?" asked Meng Ling, who had arrived in his spiritual world, to a girl.

  "My name is indeed Tianyu, and I also know about you, including your past. Of course, I also know the original appearance of this body's exterior that you have now." The girl called 'Tianyu' said with a smile.

  "It seems that there's no mistake, if it's really like this, then you're appearing here, doesn't Sister Carmel and Sister Sally have even a bit of surprise?" Meng Ling asked.

  "We also know about your affairs," Karmel said coldly.

  "It's like that, and besides, we're always here, so it's more lively with one more person to talk to." Sally said with a smile, shrugging her shoulders.

  "So, Tianyu, is it alright if I teach you like this?" Meng Ling turned her head and asked her own knife soul.

  "Although Tianyu is my real name, the original form of this body should be the same as yours, so according to your past life's memories, I should have another name, called... Mieru Kabel." The girl in front of Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "I had somewhat expected this." Ming Leng knew that her current body's appearance was exactly the same as a girl named Lakshmi Clyne from a previous life in a work called "Gundam Destiny", so it was understandable that her sword spirit was now called Mia Kuber.

  In the animation "Gundam Destiny", Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell not only look alike, but their voices are also identical. However, Lacus is the real one, while Meer is just a substitute. In the end, Meer couldn't escape her fate of death. In the previous life of Mu Lin, these two people in this animation represented the meaning of true and false. Now, they have become two people bound by the chains of fate, with their appearances and even the appearance of Zanpakuto changed. Mu Lin doesn't know what's going on now either.

  "Tianyu, no, it's better to call you Miya. Since you are now my Zhanba knife, I have a very important question to ask you," said Meng Ling seriously.

  "Go ahead and ask," Mia said with a smile.

  "What's your view on the fate of us two?" A hint of chill had already crept into Meng Ling's words, for Mia's appearance made her sense a whiff of conspiracy.

  "Hehe, your question is quite interesting, but it's also very easy yet difficult to answer. Actually, I am you, and I know that in your heart, you already have the answer." Mia said with a smile.

  "I've had my own answer for a long time?" Meng Ling was somewhat puzzled.

  "Your answer is simple, I am you, so I also know that your answer is actually only two words - protection." Mia said to Meng Leng.

  "Guardian?" Meng Ling murmured, but in her heart, she already knew what these two words meant.

  "Hehe, it seems you've already figured out the answer in your heart. Now, I have another question for you." Mia smiled and said: "Since you asked me how I view fate, then how do you view your own future?"

  "I also know your answer." Upon hearing Mia's question, Meng Leng finally smiled and replied slowly: "Although I don't know what my future will be like, perhaps our future is very dark and cannot be changed, but..."

  "Since it can't be changed, I'll just choose instead."
