Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 739 Two-Sided Battle

Upon hearing this, Ishida immediately gritted his teeth.

Renji stepped in front of Ishida, raised his Zanpakuto and aimed it at Ichinose Masaki, interrupting him: "With this level of spiritual pressure, you must be no ordinary person, right?"

"Why would you do something like this? Colluding with Bavent."

"Colluding with each other?" Ichinose Masaki sneered. "Are Shinigami always right?"

"Stop making people laugh."

"Don't you all know perfectly well what Death has done?"

"Goodness, I almost thought it was that woman standing in front of me..." Renji sweated and muttered to himself.

Ichinose Masaki frowned slightly at this inexplicable remark: "What?"

"Don't worry about it, I just suddenly thought of a terrifying woman." Renji gripped his Zanpakuto tightly; this guy had just given him the feeling of talking to Ikuko.

Fortunately, it wasn't Yuko standing opposite him now.

Renji tensed up: "Let's make this clear beforehand, if you want to take him away, you'll have to get over me first."

“I thought so too.” Ichinose Maki silently raised his Zanpakuto and softly chanted its Shikai name.

"Shine, rainbow!"

As he unleashed his Zanpakuto, the blade emitted a dazzling rainbow of light.

Renji subconsciously narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.

Is it an illusion-themed story?

He recalled the scene where Ichinose Maki had appeared in the room without anyone noticing and launched an attack.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy's Zanpakuto ability should be to conceal his movements by manipulating the vision of others.

We need to finish this quickly!

Renji stomped on the wooden planks beneath his feet, dashing forward with a Shunpo. Zabimaru drew a sharp arc in mid-air, its serrated blade extending wildly with its master's roar.

"Roar, Shebimaru!"

The blade, like a python's tongue, aimed straight for Ichinose Masaki's throat. However, just as Zabimaru was about to touch his opponent, a mocking smile curled at the corner of Ichinose Masaki's mouth.

With a flick of his wrist, the entire room was instantly filled with dazzling, multicolored light. Having understood the other's ability, Renji had already tried his best to avoid relying on his vision, his eyes unconsciously narrowing.

But he only felt a blur before his eyes, and what Zabimaru struck was a light and shadow that was gradually dissipating, while the real killing intent had already appeared on his flank.

"it's here!"

Renji instinctively swung his sword, but missed again. Zabimaru pierced through the wall, but did not feel like he had struck a human body.

where is it? !

Renji's hair stood on end, and he instinctively raised his sword to block in front of him.

clang!

A heavy impact rang out, and Renji felt a sharp pain in his hand, and a mouthful of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Ishida, let's go!"

His face darkened, and he stood in front of Ishida without moving.

Uryu Ishida gritted his teeth, trying to find a weakness in his opponent's defenses from the previous fight: "Abarai, his sword can manipulate the refraction of light, what you see now may not be the true location!"

"I know."

But while we understand the situation, how to respond remains to be seen.

hateful!

If it weren't for the fact that captain-level characters have their powers limited in the modern world, this guy, if he used Bankai...

Ishida was about to leave as Renji had suggested, since he would only be a hindrance in his current state, but he had only taken half a step when he heard Ichinose Masaki say.

"No need, it will be over soon."

"Boasting?"

Renji grumbled and cursed.

Ichinose Masaki slowly raised his Zanpakuto, and streaks of rainbow light appeared beside him like glow sticks.

"The sunset glows, a rainbow."

As the rainbow flashed, Renji immediately closed his eyes.

But he didn't dare to stay in the dark any longer, and soon opened his eyes again. The scene in front of him was exactly the same as the lighting setup in a dance hall.

In the center of the room, a huge ball of light appeared.

My eyes are going to be blinded by the light!

Renji squinted, searching left and right for Ichinose Maki's figure, but couldn't find him anywhere.

Damn it, did I get infected again?

A beam of light suddenly appeared before his eyes, shooting out from the ball of light. Renji quickly raised his hand to block it.

Phew! !

One after another, beams of light shot out from the ball of light, and Renji raised his hand to parry them one by one.

But the next second, a blade of light came from the side where there was nothing. Renji tried to turn around to block it, but the blade of light in front of him hit his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.

Ignoring the injury on his shoulder, Renji hastily raised his hand, and Zabimaru curled up into a ball and began to contract.

But before Zabimaru could fully retract his defenses, Ichinose Masaki instantly appeared in front of Renji, breaking through Zabimaru's defenses and delivering a heavy kick to his abdomen.

"Pfft~" Renji flew out of the room like a cannonball, smashed the telephone pole outside, and collapsed to the ground.

"Renji!"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Ishida's forehead, but he couldn't care less about it.

……

Meanwhile, Karakura Town Park.

It was already late at night, and the once tranquil park was now completely enveloped by waves of chaotic spiritual pressure.

Kurosaki Ichigo gripped his Zanpakuto tightly with both hands, his gaze fixed on the shadows ahead.

Damn, there are so many people. We'll have to hold out until Auntie comes over.

Yuki stepped forward slowly. "Mahashi, if you keep being this useless, Mr. Kariya will get angry."

Ma Qiao retorted, "Try dealing with all these people by yourself."

On the other side, Koga Takeshi's massive body, like an iron tower, had blocked their retreat.

They were surrounded.

Instead of immediately attacking Ichigo and the others, everyone turned to look at Kariya.

They were still waiting, waiting for Hunting Arrow's orders.

Kariya seemed certain that the big fish wouldn't get off the hook, a smile appearing on his lips as he slowly extended his hand: "Yoshino, come back."

"This is where you belong."

Fangye clenched her fists and bit her lip lightly: "God, stop."

Despite the help of Ikuko and others, Yoshino still harbors a certain fear of Kariya.

"The Grim Reaper already knows we exist. Even if you find the Quincy, it won't change anything."

"Using the power of the Bount to fight against Death will only hasten the Bount's demise."

"That's why I need your power." Although Kariya was somewhat surprised that they had discovered his true purpose, he did not show any shock and continued to extend his hand with a smile.

Yoshino was taken aback: "My power?"

Kariya Kami maintained his smile: "Yes, that's a special power that only you possess."

He is someone who has personally experienced being hunted by the Grim Reaper, fought against the Grim Reaper to seize the Quincy title, and survived.

He knew better than anyone that they were still no match for the entire Soul Society and the Shinigami.

Even though the Bount clan can be strengthened in places with high spiritual energy activity, it's the same.

That's why it needs to absorb the souls of living people and obtain the power of the wildflower.

To obtain that... maternal power that Bount did not possess.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Fangye's forehead as she stared blankly at the man who seemed to have gone mad.

Kariya observed the crowd, his brows furrowing slightly.

These guys, despite being surrounded, showed no fear on their faces; instead, they gave the impression that they were trying to stall for time.

Is it support from Soul Society?

"what a pity."

Receiving no response from Yoshino, and not wanting things to escalate further due to the expressions of the others, Kariya slowly withdrew his hand.

Regardless, let's bring Yoshino back first.

He casually gestured, "Make your move."

The battle broke out instantly.

Ma Qiao was the first to attack, firing his Liz gun at the group.

Immediately afterwards, Koga took out a ball that looked like a lead ball or iron ball and had an emblem on it. He dropped it vertically, and it transformed into a doll with sharp iron spikes on its hands and iron balls as its main joints.

This doll looks like a female iron figure.

"Darku, defeat them."

"Hehehe, I understand."

Darku followed suit and launched an attack.

Liz's attack was dodged by everyone, and Ichigo, wielding two swords, faced off against Dalku, who was close behind.

"This kind of attack... can be blocked!"

when!

The Zanpakuto clashed with Dalku's sharp hands, producing a sound like metal striking metal.

This thing is so hard!

"Not bad, kid." Darku said in a mature, older-sister-like voice.

If Yuko were here at this moment, she would probably be complaining again: why can't a Zanpakuto be thrown out to fight alone?

Yuki, who had been watching from the sidelines, avoided the first round of attacks and slowly stepped forward.

Chad noticed her movement immediately and, without paying attention to Liz who was running around, stepped in front of her.

"hehe."

Yuki smiled slightly, and with a flash, he quickly approached Chad. The folding fan in his hand extended out with a burst of white light, transforming into the shape of an iron sword.

Her weapons were a fan and an iron sword, connected by an iron chain.

There is a tooth on both the fan and the hilt of the iron sword.

This is her doll, a perfect combination of offense and defense.

Yuki's fighting skills were clearly the result of specialized training; her stance was extraordinary, making her look like a martial arts master.

The battle was clean and efficient; Chad was forced to retreat repeatedly by the iron sword attacks alone, without even using a fan.

Lucia dodged Liz's charge attack once again and scanned the surroundings.

It seems that everyone on their side is at a disadvantage.

Tsk.

Rukia clicked her tongue. At least they couldn't let three of them be tied up by a little guy.

Rukia directly abandoned her artificial body, her soul detached, and she appeared as a Shinigami, but she did not have a Zanpakuto in her hand at the moment.

However, by shedding the constraints of the artificial body, her power can be somewhat unleashed.

Hmm... well, I'm still just a nobody.

But the other side was just a few big minions.

“Inoue, Ms. Yoshino, go help the others. I’ll handle this little thing.”

"I understand, Rukia-chan, be careful."

Inoue and Yoshino didn't say much, but simply separated the battlefield. There were still three people on the Bount side who hadn't made a move yet, including their leader, Kariya.

However, even at this point, the aunt still hasn't come to help.

Ichigo could only understand one situation: it wasn't time for her to make her move yet.

After all, that unscrupulous businessman had already said that this was a special training session for them, and if nothing unexpected happened, Auntie wouldn't intervene.

But... isn't this a bit too many people?!

Let's have a one-on-one fight!

Although he is currently fighting Darku one-on-one, the presence of Kariya Kami watching him from the sidelines still puts some pressure on Ichigo.

What if the other side suddenly launches an attack?

"Broken Path No. 31: Red Fire Cannon!"

A fireball burst from Rukia's palm, heading straight for Liz, but Liz easily dodged it.

Tsk, the target is too small and too fast.

Don't let its small size fool you, this thing is surprisingly powerful when heavily armed.

If they can't dodge in time, even they will be killed.

But this was no time to hesitate. Rukia bit her lip and released her defense.

Liz was indeed not very bright, and charged straight at Rukia.

No, the distance is still too far.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Rukia's face. She was waiting, waiting for the little thing to get closer.

Rukia only raised her hand when Liz rushed to within three meters of her.

It's now!

"Broken Path No. 31: Red Fire Cannon!"

boom!

Flames exploded in front of her, which meant she had hit something.

It worked!

Before Rukia could even smile, a ball of Liz burst out from the firestorm and crashed straight into the unsuspecting Rukia.

Contrary to expectations that she would be directly killed, Liz was like a ball of spiritual energy that pierced directly into her chest.

Rukia's panicked expression froze for half a second before calming down, her pupils slowly dilating and losing their luster.

"Successful."

Ma Qiao grinned and snapped his fingers casually.

A red and yellow flower bloomed on Rukia's chest. As the flower appeared, a flash of white light appeared at Rukia's waist, and a blade materialized.

That was the power of death, squeezed out by Liz.

Rukia's current state is not yet fully recovered; she needs more time to recuperate before she can fully regain her Shinigami powers.

Forcing her to accept this power will cause her body to gradually collapse.

"Go, kill them, kill your friends."

Ma Qiao grinned with a twisted smile.

Rukia drew her Zanpakuto and slowly walked toward the battlefields scattered throughout the park.

Chad was panting heavily, locked in a fierce battle with Yuuki alongside Yoshino, completely oblivious to Rukia's situation or her approaching from behind.

Yuuki looked at Rukia approaching from behind Chad, especially the flower blooming on her chest, and smiled slightly, forcing Chad towards her.

Just as Rukia raised her Zanpakuto, about to strike Chad...

"Get!"

A flame swept past Chad from behind, forcing Rukia to retreat.

Chad instinctively turned around and saw Rukia, then looked at Yoshino with surprise and uncertainty.

"She's been controlled!"

Yoshino explained, then did a backflip to dodge Yuki's slash.

Chad saw the flower blooming on Rukia's chest and then he understood.

How do I undo this?

"I'm afraid it's only the owner of the doll who gets attacked."

Fangye turned to look at Maqiao, only to find him standing swaggering in the distance. Even without any protection around him, his numerical advantage made it impossible for the others to do anything about him.
