"What's wrong!? You two!? Why aren't you on board!? Ah!!?"
Zaraki Kenpachi questioned, swiping the sword casually, violent spiritual pressure burst out from the tip of the sword, and in an instant, the ruins of the high-rise building not far away from him were cut into pieces. The fierce spiritual pressure continued.
The climb seems to be endless.
"Only ants can stick together in groups. The weak will always be weak. Even if you add them together, is this your limit!?"
"hateful!"
Hearing these stinging words, Kurosaki Ichigo stood up in a somewhat embarrassed state, feeling a headache as he looked at the menacing Kenpachi Zaraki in front of him.
He wanted to refute what this guy said, but the words of a weakling were unconvincing.
Although he was reluctant to accept the reality, he had already begun to feel tired. His spiritual pressure had indeed increased to an unprecedented level due to the blessing of Zangetsu's power, but his physical strength and injuries had not recovered, and the bleeding had only temporarily stopped.
But the injury on the guy in front of me should consume more energy than myself! Why is this monster in front of me still able to become more courageous as he fights even though the conditions should be like this?
What should he do? If he continues to delay, he will fall first! And after he falls, it is obvious that Chadu cannot handle this guy alone...
"Don't worry, Ichigo..."
A calm voice sounded in Kurosaki Ichigo's ears.
"Calm down and evaluate the situation carefully... We have not lost yet."
"Uncle Zangetsu..." Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned for a moment, then tightened his grip on the blade in his hand.
That's right, he is not fighting alone. He has Zangetsu in his hands and Sadatari by his side. What this guy said is nothing but fallacy. As long as they focus their power together, there is no way they will lose.
"call……"
He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath. When Kurosaki Ichigo opened his eyes again, he had completely calmed down and said, "Chadu, please, help me block him for a while."
"Well, I'll leave it to you then."
Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo's serious expression, Chadota Taitora answered calmly, and slowly stepped forward with a faint smile on his face.
"Tsk."
Seeing this scene, which was almost the same as before, Zaraki Kenpachi became angry for no reason, and the expression on his face became fierce.
Is it so that one person is responsible for defense while the other looks for opportunities to attack?
"You two guys, haven't you figured out the situation yet? The same tricks won't work, you have to work harder! Only in this way can I enjoy the fun of fighting more!"
However, neither of the two people on the other side responded.
Chado Taihu lowered his body, his muscles tensed, ready to receive attacks from all directions.
Behind him, Kurosaki Ichigo concentrated and held his breath, and the collected spiritual pressure became more and more powerful. His whole body seemed to be integrated with the Zanpakutō, turning into a sharp blade that could cut off everything.
clang--
Kenpachi Zaraki stepped forward and swung the worn long sword down again, but Taitora Sadatori would not let him step in front of him, and faced him head on, and the fierce collision sounded again.
"Did you hear that, Ichigo?"
Listening to the sound of hammering that sounded like a mournful cry, 'Zhanyue' asked calmly.
"Yes."
Kurosaki Ichigo understood his meaning and answered calmly.
He looked at the old and dull sword in Kenpachi Zaraki's hand and heard the mournful cry coming from the sword.
"But he can't hear it." There was some regret in Zangetsu's tone, "Fighting together with people who don't trust each other will only weaken the combat effectiveness. Those who blindly believe in their own power will not understand... Ichigo
, are you willing to believe me?"
"Of course." Kurosaki Ichigo replied without hesitation.
On the battlefield, if you don't even trust the weapons in your hands, then what else can you trust?
He wanted to correct the thinking of the guy in front of him, because it was wrong.
The guy in front of me said that his Zanpakutō has no name, probably because he has never tried to identify with the blade in his hand, and only regards it as a simple tool. The Zanpakutō is not just a tool for slashing and destroying, but a tool for fighting together.
Partner, it's even more impossible that he doesn't have a name, it's just that this guy believed too much in his own power and never cared about it.
"I'll give you all the power I have left, just use it."
Ichigo Kurosaki clenched Zangetsu in his hand and murmured to himself, "Help me, use this sword... to defeat him!"
"..."
Zangetsu's shadow silently passed over Kurosaki Ichigo, holding the handle of the knife, "As you wish..."
boom--
Unprecedented powerful spiritual pressure rose from the ground.
"ha?!"
Zaraki Kenpachi, who was constantly slashing the blade in his hand in an attempt to break through Sadatora's defense, felt the spiritual pressure and raised his head, his face becoming extremely excited, "Boy! So you can continue to increase your spiritual pressure!"
?Very good! Absolutely great! Interesting!”
While he was praising Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden rise in spiritual pressure, he suddenly increased the strength in his hands.
boom--
It didn't feel like a slash at all, but like a brute force hammer that didn't care about the damage to the blade.
The blade wrapped in spiritual pressure slammed down. Under the huge bombardment, the ground beneath Sadatora's feet collapsed, and the whole person was trapped deep in it. The broken arm armor was full of cracks, and it seemed that it had reached its limit.
"That's enough, your next opponent is us."
The phantom overlapped with Kurosaki Ichigo. They raised their hands to lift Zangetsu upright, pointing the sharp tip of the sword directly at Zaraki Kenpachi.
The sharp spiritual pressure seemed to burst out from the tip of the knife. Even though they were some distance away, Zaraki Kenpachi still felt a dull pain at the place being pointed at. That was the location of his heart. This was a naked provocation.
"you?"
Zaraki Kenpachi grinned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you already started to give up on yourself?"
He bypassed Taihu Sadatari, who no longer posed a threat. For a guy like this who could only be beaten passively, he originally thought it would be interesting when he couldn't be beaten, but after beating him too much, he found that it was nothing more than that, so he got tired of it.
He held the knife and slowly walked towards Kurosaki Ichigo. Now the yellow-haired boy in front of him, whose spiritual pressure suddenly increased by another dimension, was even more attractive to him.
Is this the first time this kid has grown up strangely?
Sure enough, as Ikkaku said, this astonishing growth rate is really exciting - you can't stop wanting it!
"Haven't you seen clearly yet?"
Kurosaki Ichigo stood there, the rising spiritual pressure seemed to have finally reached its peak and stopped getting stronger, and the spiritual pressure on his body at this moment had surpassed the man in front of him.
"This is not only my power, but also Zangetsu. Zangetsu and I fight side by side! With Sadatari buying time for me, my spiritual pressure has surpassed yours now! I can't lose to you alone.
your!"
"Zangetsu? Is that the name of that Zanpakuto?"
Zaraki Kenpachi's eyes became dangerous, "Borrowing the Zanpakutō's power and fighting alongside it? How ridiculous. Your companions buying time for you? How stupid. The Zanpakutō is just a prop for combat," and Zanpakutō
"Fighting side by side with swords" can only be said by a weak guy like you. As for you having time to prepare, it's just my pleasure! Kurosaki Ichigo, don't really think... that was my full strength just now!
?”
A suffocating aura of terror rose up from Zaraki Kenpachi's body. The spiritual pressure did not change, but it made people feel extremely cold. It was the ultimate pure fighting spirit. When the spiritual pressure level is close, the competition is often like this.
momentum.
However, at this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo was not timid because of such fighting spirit. On the contrary, he even felt more and more excited, as if a beast had been released in his heart.
Even he himself didn't notice that the 'Zangetsu' beside him disappeared without a trace at some point, and the spiritual pressure behind him seemed to condense into an extremely ferocious mask. The mask opened its mouth and seemed to want to kill him.
Devour together with the enemy in front of you.
"coming……"
Yachiru Kusuka, who was watching the battle from a distance, watched with some excitement the blow that was about to collide, which would be the blow that decided the outcome.
Xuanhao, on the other hand, squinted his eyes slightly and felt the spiritual pressure on Kurosaki Ichigo's body at this moment.
"It's really interesting..."
Even he had to admire Yhwach's talent.
Because the situation in Ichigo Kurosaki at the moment is very close to his own, no, it even seems to be more complicated in terms of type.
That guy Yhwach used Kurosaki Ichigo as a medium, and he controlled the power of 'Hollow', 'Reaper', and 'Quincy' at the same time. At this moment, it seemed that the 'Hollow Beast' was released for a moment.
Although the levels of these powers are completely incomparable with 'destruction' and 'creation', Yhwach's precise control of these completely different powers made him admire him. After all, this is what the world has to offer
The will is deliberately divided into three parts, and its mutually incompatible characteristics can be said to be the embodiment of the world's will, and Yhwach is really trying to integrate them.
Just like thousands of years ago, Yhwach was just a dreamer with empty ideals but no practice, so now...if no one stops him, maybe he can really realize his long-cherished wish of merging and creating an 'ideal world' step by step.
Amidst the deafening roar, the entire area before arriving at the Confession Palace had been completely destroyed by spiritual pressure and turned into ruins. Among the flying rubble, Taihu Chawatari was unstable physically and mentally and kept rolling. Waiting for him to finally stabilize his body and crawl on the ground.
The ground queen finally saw clearly the two figures at the center of the impact.
The two bodies that were heading towards each other finally stopped. The old sword penetrated Kurosaki Ichigo's body, and Zaraki Kenpachi didn't seem to be much better. His entire right shoulder had been blackened.
The huge Zangetsu in Saki Ichigo's hand was completely slashed in, and the blood that spattered wantonly dyed both of their faces red.
puff--
"Sorry...everyone..."
Finally, after the scene was frozen for a long time, blood spattered from Kurosaki Ichigo's abdomen. After exhaustion, he could no longer support himself to stand. His whole body shifted to the side, and the wound penetrated by the long knife also began to tear.
, the entire waist was cut in half as if committing seppuku. Such an injury would be completely fatal to ordinary people.
"Huh...ha...ha..."
Zaraki Kenpachi couldn't help but gasp, with an excited smile still on his face, "Ha!? What are you saying, sorry? Brat..."
As he spoke, he looked at the worn Zanpakutō in his hand.
Click——
As if it had finally reached its limit, the Zanpakutō snapped in response.
"You won, idiot."
With that said, after a satisfying and hearty fight, Zaraki Kenpachi relaxed and slowly fell to the ground.
The injuries on his body were no less serious than those of Kurosaki Ichigo. The reason why he was still conscious was simply due to the difference in physique and strength.
Da da--
Two figures fell beside the two fallen people almost at the same time.
"you……"
Chadoo looked at the girl who landed next to Zaraki Kenpachi with some vigilance. He remembered that this girl was the girl who blocked him from coming here before.
"..."
Kusuka Yachiru, on the other hand, looked at Zaraki Kenpachi's condition with an expressionless face.
"call……"
After hearing the heavy breathing that sounded like snoring, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she stood up and bowed to Sadatari in front of her and Kurosaki Ichigo who fell on the ground, "Thank you so much!"
"Forehead?"
Chadu Taihu was a little confused.
But soon Kusuka Yachiru explained: "Thanks to you, Koken-chan can have so much fun after a long time! I haven't seen Koken-chan so happy in a long time! His whole body is soft.
Went down...seems to be very relaxed!"
"..."
Chado Taihu said he couldn't understand this.
Do you think there is a possibility that the body becomes weak because of excessive blood loss and severe injuries?
"Hey."
"If there is a chance in the future... let's spar with Xiaojian again! Please!"
Smiling softly as he spoke, ignoring the gaze of Sadatora Taitora, Kusuka Yachiru thanked him, picked up Zaraki Kenpachi who had fallen to the ground, and disappeared in an instant.
"Ichigo!?"
Only then did Taitora Chadatari have the opportunity to step forward and check on Kurosaki Ichigo's condition.
After confirming that the other party still had his breath, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Hold on, Ichigo..."
As long as there is still breath left, there is still a chance to be saved, because Inoue also came into the Seireitei with her, and with her ability, she will definitely be able to cure Ichigo.
But soon someone came and told him not to bother.
"Okay, get out of the way. You don't have the ability to heal. It's too much of a hindrance to block here."
Xuanhao, disguised as the 'Shiha Iwajiu', appeared behind Chadata Taitora at some point, and at this moment he was holding a weak, pitiful and helpless black cat in his hand.
"Look who I brought?"
"Hi...hi?"
Yoruichi helplessly raised his paw to greet Sadatora.
In fact, she had arrived nearby a long time ago, but because she saw someone watching the show with great interest, she didn't dare to help.
I thought I could just do nothing with it, but I didn't expect that after the fight between these two boys, I still couldn't escape the fate of being a tool cat.
"Forehead……"
Chatatori Taihu turned his head and looked at the combination of man and cat with some surprise. Did it turn out that Mr. Shiba did not really evacuate but was looking for Mr. Yoruichi?
"You go and join the others first. Leave this kid to me for treatment."
As Ye Yi got off Xuan Hao, he helplessly followed the man's instructions and said to Chad: "Don't worry, I won't let him die."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Yoruichi."
Chado Taihu didn't notice anything was wrong. He still trusted the black cat in front of him, who in his opinion might be stronger than himself. After all, such a strong man could not risk Ichigo's life and
He was joking.
With that said, he and the 'Shiba Iwajiu' who didn't wait aside ran directly towards other directions where there were fluctuations in spiritual pressure.
There was no way around it. The appearance of Kyōraku Shunsui and now Zaraki Kenpachi made him realize that the Shinigami in the Seireitei were not as easy to deal with as he thought. Even though he tried his best, he could not protect Ichigo.
If every captain is as scary as Zaraki Kenpachi, then it would be very dangerous to leave Inoue and Ishida alone.
Seeing Taihu Chadat running in the direction of Inoue Orihime without hesitation before he could deal with his injuries, Xuanhao nodded with satisfaction.
He thought this guy had forgotten his job because of his gay friends, but now he seems to be quite qualified.
"Aren't you going to help with the treatment?"
After seeing Chado running away, Yoruichi looked up at the man standing by pretending with some doubts.
Rather than trying to cure this kid's injuries, it would be faster for this man to do it himself, right?
"What are you thinking about? If I wanted to take action, why would I bring you with me?"
Xuan Hao waved his hand confidently and headed in the other direction, "Don't worry, just treat this kid slowly. He grows too fast and needs to be slow. After he is cured, you can help him adapt and become stronger."
Strength later."
"Then...where are you going?"
Yoruichi frowned and looked at Xuan Hao's leaving figure. This direction seemed to be the direction that the little girl left with Zaraki Kenpachi...
Is this inexplicable man going to make their attack on the Seireitei more difficult?
The more she thought about it, the more she realized it was possible.
Because in her opinion, this man seemed to only regard their plan to save Lucia as an abnormal test from beginning to end, because the result of 'Rukia was saved' almost happened when this man entered the Seireitei.
It was determined in an instant that Seireitei, the most heavily guarded city in the Soul Society, was only worthy of being used as a 'testing ground' to improve the few brats he paid attention to in this man's eyes.
······
Zhizhizhi——
Late at night, the noisy chirping of insects kept ringing in the woods, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky could be seen through the gaps in the leaves.
This seemed to be a peaceful scene, but the ground where the moonlight shone was already shrouded in the smell of blood.
Scattered limbs were piled all over the ground in the woods. Judging from the neat cross-sections, it seemed that they had not struggled too violently in front of them. The thick blood was like a gurgling stream, depicting in this forest.
Draw a picture of death.
However, the person who caused all this scene was just resting by the tree with a calm expression. This cruel scene seemed to him to be normal.
