With a bang, Grimmjow pushed Kurosaki Ichigo into the wall, but he himself retreated and did not pursue the victory.
He didn't believe that Kurosaki Ichigo had such little ability. He just gave him a hint and asked him to use his full strength next time.
"Crescent Moon Clashes!"
With a bang, Ichigo rushed out of the pothole with a mask. The black crescent moon attached to the sword, and he slashed out with the sword, turning into a violent flow of spiritual pressure.
"That's what makes you look good!"
Grimmjow said excitedly. He jumped up into the sky. The black crescent moon swept under him, immediately destroying a large open space. Looking at the terrifying power, he finally recognized Kurosaki Ichigo.
.
But the next moment, the same huge spiritual pressure was accumulated behind him again. His eyes were shocked, and then he turned around, only to see Ichigo had appeared there at some unknown time, and raised the Sky Lock Sword high.
The moon is about to fall.
Grimmjow crossed his arms and blocked himself in front of him, which was all he had time to do.
boom!!
The two spiritual pressures collided in the sky. Human beings could not see what was happening at all. They could only panic in the constant vibrations and hope that the end would not come.
And their prayers were effective, because when the vibrations became louder and louder, they stopped suddenly, as if someone had forcibly pressed the pause button.
"It seems that Mr. Urahara has taken defensive measures..."
In the center of the shock, Ichigo said calmly, "This way we can fight with peace of mind, right? We can't..."
He looked at Grimmjow who had fallen to the ground, raising a lot of dust, and then lost his mask and said in a cold voice.
"Are you already dying?"
"Wang Xu's flash!"
What answered him was a virtual flash that completely distorted the space. Kurosaki Ichigo just tilted his head slightly, and the laser immediately passed close to his head, and continued to extend upward, even shooting out of the atmosphere.
!
"No?" Grimmjow shook away the smoke, and he looked at Kurosaki Ichigo in the sky looking down below. His indifferent gaze stung his heart, and he sneered.
"Where did you see it from?"
He finally burst out with all his strength, and huge blades of light spread out from his hands, forming a pair of huge claws.
This is his strongest skill, the Claws of the Leopard King!
"I can't do it anymore?!"
boom!
The sound barrier was broken in an instant, and the forward speed was so terrifying. Like a supersonic fighter, Grimmjow exploded huge sparks behind him, while he himself ran rampant, the claws of the Leopard King covering the space along the way.
He rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo as if he was about to be cut.
"Crescent Moon Clashes!"
Ichigo once again put on the mask, and the evil spiritual pressure burst out, all concentrated on the sword and turned into a thick black crescent. He slashed down from the sky, like a black pop falling to the ground.
Blue and black began to collide one by one, and the huge spiritual pressure escaped, forming a large ripple. If there were ordinary spirits around them, they would probably be crushed directly by this spiritual pressure.
With a bang, they exploded and collided, then separated, and then collided again!
In each collision, the two were evenly matched, whether it was the confrontation between the skills Leopard King's Claw and Crescent Moon Chong, or the duel between basic physical skills and slashing skills.
But compared to Grimmjow, Kurosaki Ichigo is unable to maintain a hollow state for a long time. The time he can maintain a hollow state is only seven seconds at most.
It's just that Ichigo found a better way during the battle, which is to only perform the virtualization at the moment of the battle, and forcibly cancel it at other times. Although this will cause a lot of physical energy consumption, the time to maintain the mask may be
Lower again.
However, because it was only blurred at the moment of the fight, the virtual fight seemed to take longer.
"It looks like you're on the verge of death!"
Grimmjow laughed and used his claws again, and the sharp claws pierced Ichigo's brain. Ichigo dodged, and then he was kicked in the right arm by the former and flew out.
"Don't you still have further virtualization? Why don't you come out?!"
The battle scene between Ulquiorra and Kurosaki Ichigo has been seen by all of them. At that time, Kurosaki Ichigo turned into a hollow. Where is it like now, with only a mere mask?
"..." Ichigo gritted his teeth, and there was a constant urge to kill in his heart. It was as if something in his mind was about to break free. He knew that if he continued to become hollow, he would probably fall into a rage and lose control.
state.
But you can't defeat Grimmjow without becoming hollow, even though this guy has been fighting for a long time...
puff!
The moment Ichigo was distracted, Grimmjow seized this opportunity and attacked again. Ichigo quickly stopped and wanted to become a Hollow, but as soon as the Hollow's mask appeared, it seemed as if someone came out of his mind the next second.
A devil was released, and the mask on his face suddenly shattered.
"It seems that you are really in trouble!" Seeing that the mask on Ichigo's face was broken, Grimmjow did not hold back. For him, Ichigo Kurosaki no longer posed a threat, which proved that the two of them were
He won the battle.
And now, it's time for him to get the spoils of war!
hateful!
Ichigo swung his sword with all his strength, but he didn't need to be hollowed out. In his swastika state, he was no match for Grimmjow, and he directly pierced his body with one of his claws.
Fortunately, he dodged at the critical moment, otherwise the blow would have directly ripped out his heart.
"You won't be so lucky next time!"
However, just as he dodged the first blow, the second one came immediately. Ichigo gritted his teeth, resisting his headache and impulse, and forcibly dematerialized again!
However, it was the same as before, the mask was broken the moment it appeared!
Isn’t it possible...?
Even if he cannot become hollow, Ichigo will not give up. Even if he is only in the state of swastika, he will still resist, even if the strength gap between the two sides is...
There is a huge difference...
"That's almost enough..."
However, suddenly, a man emerged from behind Grimmjow, and he went up and pierced Grimmjow's chest with a knife.
?!!!
"Who!"
Grimmjow was shocked. He turned his head, only to see a man wearing a bamboo hat, a flowered robe, and a hairpin.
"Oh my, I'm not dead..."
Seeing Grimmjow's wounds recovering, the man made a headache sound, "The super-speed regeneration ability that was obviously lost has actually reappeared after the second stage of returning to the sword. Now this is really troublesome."
Although he was talking about trouble, the man's expression did not show any fear. He said to Grimmjow with a calm and nonchalant expression, "Can you hand this little brother over to me? I want him...still." Something happened."
"Huh? If you think about it carefully, you'll know it's impossible!" What answered him was Grimmjow's wild laughter. He waved his claws directly at the man who appeared in his shadow. However, when the man saw his impact, Just smiled.
Then……
Gubei
The next moment...
A virtual mask also appeared on his face!
What!?
Not only Grimmjow, but even Ichigo was shocked. They didn't expect that there would be such a master to disrupt the situation, and he was also...
A master of blurring!
"Yangui·white!"
Facing the charging Grimmjow, the man said softly, he chose the white color that is the most on Grimmjow. This is an attack type that can be easily hit, but is not particularly powerful.
but……
It’s no joke!
His speed was even faster than Grimmjow, and he was able to counterattack in the face of his thrust in such a short distance. The two figures intertwined, and the next moment a claw mark appeared on the man's face, and Ge There was a medium-deep wound on Limjow's arm!
Although the wound was not deep, the most terrifying rule-based attack of 'Hua Tian Kuang Bone' had already taken effect. Grimmjow found that this should have been a normal injury, but it made him feel like he could hardly lift his hand at this moment. feeling.
"It seems that the outcome has been decided. If we leave now..."
The man pressed the brim of his hat and said softly, "I won't stop you."
"...Ha?!" Grimmjow was angry, and he shouted loudly, "You guys... just a god of death, a mere human, and you... why does everyone think that 'the winner has been decided'?!"
He yelled and wanted to rush over, but...
"Enough Grimmjow Jakarjak..." Someone held the hand he was about to stab!
"Dong Xian...want it!"
Grimmjow looked at the man who suddenly appeared next to him, gritted his teeth and said his name. Yes, it was Kaname Tosen, the captain of Division 9 who betrayed Soul Society along with Aizen!
His appearance shocked the man, Ichigo Kurosaki, and even Grimmjow.
"Your mission has failed. Do you think you can kill Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him now?"
Tosen Kaname glanced at the man who was still wearing the mask, and said calmly to Grimmjow, "Lord Aizen... I want you to go back."
"..." Of course Grimmjow was not willing to leave just like that, but at this moment, Tosen wanted to even move Aizen out, and he had no way to refuse.
So he shook his hands and broke free from Dongxian Yao's restraints, then turned around, took two steps, and opened his black voice directly.
But before going in, he suddenly turned his head, his beastly eyes stared at Kurosaki Ichigo, and said coldly to him
"Boy, next time we meet...you won't be so lucky."
Then, he walked into the black cavity and disappeared.
After only Tōsen Kaname, Kurosaki Ichigo and the masked man were left, the latter removed the mask on his face and looked at Tōsen Kaname with his original appearance.
The cynical face when he first appeared was now more serious than ever. He looked at Dong Xian Kaname and said slowly
"Really... can you imagine that our meeting again after a hundred years will be like this? Dongxian..."
"Captain? I wonder if you feel ironic when you hear the word 'captain'?"
"...There is nothing unimaginable." Tosen Kaname said to him, "All of this has long existed in Aizen-sama's eyes, including your appearance today... Kyoraku."
Yes, of course the man is Kyōraku Shunsui!
"Aizen..." Kyoraku Shunsui said with a hint of nostalgia, "Really, thinking about it now, I still miss that time..."
"I think..." He looked at Dongxian and said in a deep voice, "We should meet soon, right?"
"...Soon." Dongxian responded calmly, and then a black voice appeared behind him. Chun Shui did not stop him because he knew that stopping him would be useless.
Tosen Kaname slowly entered the black cavity and disappeared, so only Kyoraku Shunsui and Kurosaki Ichigo were left here.
"...You are the leader of the Peking Orchestra that Uncle Liang Yue has always mentioned..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ichigo already understood his identity. Thinking of Liang Yue's words before, he slowly said to Kyory
"Has the teacher always mentioned me to you?" Jingraku patted his head and smiled sheepishly, "What a pity, I haven't met the teacher yet."
"What are you giggling at?"
As he smiled, someone poured a basin of cold water behind him, "Don't forget, everyone is still waiting..."
A woman appeared behind him. She was wearing a JK uniform and glasses and said, "Where is the arrival of Kurosaki Ichigo?"
"Huh? Me?" Ichigo's heart moved, and he seemed to understand something, and Shunsui confirmed his suspicion the next moment.
Kyoraku said seriously, "Lisa is right, Kurosaki Ichigo... I heard about you from Urahara."
"Don't you want to master the virtualization? Come on, we will let you... fully master this power!"
………………
"Is this really good?"
At the same time, in the Urahara store, Hirako Mako stood opposite Urahara and said
"Let Ichigo tap into Hollow's power at a deeper level or even..."
He looked at Urahara Kisuke seriously
"The power of an apostle?"
At this moment, the battle in the outside world has ended, the spiritual pressure has begun to calm down everywhere, and Urahara Kisuke is also freed from the busy work of maintaining Karakura Town...
"This is something Kurosaki will have to face sooner or later..." He said slowly, "That's also..."
"It comes from Kurosaki's own will."
"..." Hirako Mako was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said again, "Do you know the consequences of losing control?"
Before Kisuke Urahara could answer, he shrugged and asked himself, "I must know. After all, you are Kisuke Urahara."
"..." Hearing what Hirako said, Urahara Kisuke smiled bitterly and said, "Aizen's Ten Blades are almost completed. You should feel it, right? The power released by that Arrancar?"
"It's very strong." Pingzi commented.
"I can't confirm his status in Aizen's Arrancar Legion at all. I can only understand it as a medium level, so I'll just tell you..."
Urahara Kisuke took a deep breath and said in a deep voice
"If there are more than ten people in Aizen's army that use him as a medium-level fluctuation..."
