Chapter 690 The Blazing Blade vs. the Disorder of Senra
This joke isn't funny.
Kyoraku Shunsui glanced at Unohana Retsu, convinced that Unohana Retsu must think the same way.
The reason I helped Yuko was because there were indeed some problems with what happened back then. I chose to believe Yuko and act out this charade together, rather than actually ignoring Yuko and killing the old man.
Regardless, if one side is really on the verge of collapse, he will have to step in.
Fortunately, there's still Ukitake, so even with Unohana Retsu blocking the way, it's not a big problem.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni took a deep breath, and the bleeding from his chest wound quickly stopped under the scorching spiritual pressure, emitting a burnt smell. This ruthless scene made Yuko's eyelids twitch.
I have to say, this old man is really something else.
"Ikuko Tsukuni..."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni looked at Yuuko with deep eyes and slowly spoke, his voice hoarse, "Your immortality and the power to interfere with reality are indeed a formidable enemy that Seireitei has never faced in a thousand years."
"I admit that I cannot completely annihilate you with just the initial release."
The moment the words left his mouth, everyone froze.
Kyoraku Shunsui's relaxed demeanor vanished instantly. He subconsciously lowered his straw hat and said to the two people beside him, "Gentlemen, I think you would all agree to suggest we step back at this point?"
"Of course not." Retsu Unohana shrugged and sheathed her Zanpakuto.
Jushiro Ukitake, already coughing violently due to the extreme dryness of the air, turned ashen-faced upon hearing this. He knew better than anyone what it meant when Captain-Commander Yamamoto uttered those words.
"Is that so? You think Bankai can take me down?" Yuko, enveloped in flames as if bathing in hot water, remained expressionless, even a hint of a smile appearing on her face. "You couldn't do it a hundred years ago, so there's no need to say more now."
"This will be your final resting place, you old bastard."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni ignored Yuuko's ramblings, closed his eyes slightly, and raised his Zanpakuto to hold it horizontally in front of his chest.
The flames that had consumed everything no longer expanded outwards; instead, they contracted wildly inwards in a way that defied common sense.
Almost instantly, the flames that had been burning fiercely around Yuko shrank and disappeared in just a second or two, as if they had been completely swallowed up by the blade itself.
The flames were gone, but the terrifying heat that could evaporate souls only increased. The rocky ground of Twin Phantom Hill cracked, and the moisture in the air was being squeezed out. Now, at close range, everyone felt as if the moisture in their bodies was evaporating rapidly.
Even Yuko's domain seemed to show signs of instability in the face of this power. The originally gray sky began to distort.
“This spiritual pressure…” Unohana Retsu’s usually calm face finally showed an unprecedented seriousness, and her untied braids swayed slightly in the invisible heat wave. “It seems that I have to get serious.”
Can we still hold on? Yuko.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly raised the sword in his hand. The burning flames transformed the katana into a charred katana, which looked like a wooden stick that had been burned by flames, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Although there was no flame on the blade, Yuko knew that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's Bankai was to seal all the flames within the blade, achieving unimaginable attack power.
It is so deadly that touching it will cause death, and even a slight touch will cause injury.
"Swastika: Can Huo Tai Sword."
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's voice rang out softly.
He was unwilling to use his Bankai, especially not within the Seireitei. Even a short period of use of his Bankai would cause unpredictable damage.
The Bankai that occurred a hundred years ago took the Seireitei and even the Soul Society quite a while to recover from.
He will not use Bankai unless absolutely necessary.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's original intention was to gather the power of the Kido sect to seal Ikuko away.
But the person who orchestrated that incident was none other than the traitorous Retsu Unohana.
Moreover, given Yuko's current strength, the seal might not be very effective.
She must be completely burned to ashes.
Yuko's amused expression did not disappear as Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's spiritual pressure surged; instead, she became even more excited. "Nice temperature, but old man, it seems you're about to trick your own people first."
Even Kyoraku Shunsui was stunned for a moment before he realized what she was saying.
He thought to himself, "Oh no!"
In the distance, Ichigo and his group, who had been stopped by Toshiro at the edge of Sōki Hill, were engaged in a fierce battle.
Ichigo and Toshiro have both reached Bankai and are fighting to the bitter end.
Renji was responsible for stopping the other vice-captains.
Rangiku Matsumoto, chased by the giant bone snake, yelled and cursed, "Hey Renji! When did you learn Bankai?"
"While you were slacking off and being lazy."
"Who's slacking off!"
The battle here was quite pleasant. Bankai and Shikai are completely different concepts. Renji didn't fight them seriously; he just wanted to knock them unconscious.
Meanwhile, Ichigo and Toshiro were engaged in a spectacular fight, both having already activated their Bankai and suffering numerous injuries.
Ichigo, catching his breath, said, "Pretty capable, kid."
"I thought you were someone with connections, but I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"Ikuko Tsugikuni is yours..." Toshiro's eyelids twitched. This familiar name inadvertently brought to mind the face of a certain annoying person.
"Ah, she's my aunt."
Toshiro's temples throbbed with veins; indeed, two kinds of people can't come from the same family.
His Bankai was not yet stable and had a time limit. Just as Toshiro was about to go all out and end the battle, the ice wings on his back began to melt.
"What..." Toshiro was distracted and almost got hit by Ichigo.
Ichigo also sensed something was wrong and stopped attacking.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly get so hot?"
The ice spikes and ice surfaces created by Toshiro's attacks all melted quickly into water, which then evaporated rapidly on the ground.
"Captain-Commander... Bankai!" Toshiro stared in shock at the location of Sokyoku, his face more solemn than ever before.
Are you kidding me? Standing this far away, you're going to lose your Bankai?
The effects of the Zanpakuto have put him in a very bad situation. He finally managed to escape Yuuko's domain and unleash his Zanpakuto, but before he could defeat his opponent, his ability became unusable due to the Captain-Commander's Bankai.
Forget about attacking the enemy, you can't even release it.
Is this the difference in spiritual pressure?
"What a joke, is this what Bankai can do?" Ichigo looked horrified, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, his hand holding Tensa Zangetsu felt burning hot, and his throat was dry.
"Is Auntie alright?"
Just standing here is enough to be affected; how about the central location?
“Of course there’s a problem.” Toshiro glanced at him. “No one can survive the Captain-Commander’s Bankai.”
Ichigo shook his head: "No, Auntie won't lose."
Toshiro scoffed, "How confident you are."
Ichigo suddenly said, "Hey kid."
"What?" Toshiro frowned and replied unhappily.
He kept calling out "little devil, little devil..."
"Your wings have melted."
"..."
Renji, Matsumoto Rangiku, and the others in the distance also stopped fighting and looked in shock at the location of Sogyoku.
"Are you kidding me? To deal with a mere traitor, the Captain-Commander is actually in Seireitei..." Matsumoto Rangiku muttered to herself. She could feel that if this continued, the entire Seireitei would be scorched into a wasteland by this heat.
The enormous bone snake coiled around Renji appeared somewhat distorted under the intense heat. He gazed worriedly at the center of the heatwave in the distance, his heart filled with concern for Ikuko.
At the heart of all these changes, on the Hill of Twin Killers.
Kyoraku Shunsui, Ukitake Jushiro, and Unohana Retsu had already retreated to the edge of the area, but even so, the overwhelming heat still made them feel breathless.
Kyoraku Shunsui silently prayed that Toshiro would be safe and sound, and that he would have good fortune.
You were tricked to death by that old man from the mountain; don't blame him on your way to hell.
"You know what, you old geezer?" Inside the arena, Yuko licked her dry lips. "There's a saying that goes something like this..."
"High damage is meaningless if you can't hit the target."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's figure disappeared and instantly reappeared in front of her, his sword, which looked like a fire poker, slashing towards her.
Yuko's figure disappeared without any warning. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni seemed to have anticipated this, as the force of the blade was not as great as expected. It was forcibly stopped just before it touched the ground, preventing the possibility of collapsing the Sogyoku Hill.
“This time is different; the difference in spiritual pressure between us isn’t as significant.”
Yuko's voice rang out from behind; Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had been watching her move closely.
"Remnant Fire Taishou·Xi·Resident Ri Prison Clothes."
Bear!!!
The raging flames transformed into a suit of armor, covering his body. If Yu Zi hadn't been prepared, he probably would have been roasted to a crisp by this attack.
This is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's defensive technique. As the saying goes, the best defense is offense. Anything that tries to get close to him will be instantly vaporized.
"Oh? Are you planning to become an untouchable hedgehog?" Yu Zi chuckled and appeared not far away.
With a casual wave of her hand, a blood-red chill burst forth from the blade as it slashed toward Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
The chilling aura vanished silently into the air, turning into a wisp of water vapor, just a few meters away from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
It's incredible that they were able to break through to such a close position.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised.
As the one being restrained, ordinary ice-type abilities cannot even be released in the face of his Bankai.
“It’s useless.” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni’s voice was low. “Before the Remnant Sun Prison Robe, all your attacks are meaningless.”
"Is that so?" Yu Zi's smile grew even more playful. "I admit, I really can't touch you. But..."
She slowly raised her hand, her five fingers spread, and aimed it at the ground beneath Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's feet.
"Who says an attack has to involve physical contact?"
The solid rock strata of Sōkyoku Hill beneath Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni's feet suddenly lost their definition of solidity.
They turned into quicksand. Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression changed. His feet lost their footing, and he sank instantly. The surrounding rocks, upon contact with the Remnant Sun Prison Robe, showed signs of dissolving and became extremely viscous.
Just as he was about to use Instant Step to leave, an invisible force slammed into him, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.
Within the hazy gray realm, the laws of gravity were overturned, pouring into the pit where Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was located.
"If I can't touch you, then I'll crush your world as well." Yu Zi waved her hand, her voice icy. "Old man, can your proud flames burn through the coffin I made specifically for you?"
Rumble!
The entire space surrounding Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was collapsing towards him!
"Old man of the mountain!" Kyoraku Shunsui could no longer stand by and watch, gripping his Zanpakuto as he stepped forward.
swoosh~
A slender Zanpakuto blocked his way.
"The Flower of Mao!"
Retsu Unohana remained calm: "Do you think the Captain-Commander's abilities are limited to this?"
"drink!!"
With a loud shout from Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, his spiritual pressure exploded without reservation, and the high temperature of the Remnant Sun Prison Robe burned a huge crater around him.
He gripped the charred hilt of the knife with both hands and slowly raised it above his head.
An extremely restrained spiritual pressure shook the ground, and a destructive attack rose from the earth.
"Zanka no Tachi·North·Heaven and Earth Ashes!"
It was an extremely fast slash, and everything it touched would be reduced to ashes, including Yuko's domain.
Yuko sensed the terrifying power that threatened the foundation of her Bankai, and the playful expression on her face finally vanished, replaced by a frenzied fighting spirit.
The demonic power within her surged, her white hair danced without wind, crimson markings began to spread at the corners of her eyes, and a pair of ferocious demonic horns appeared on her head.
This was her full-power performance; she no longer subconsciously used spiritual pressure to conceal the abnormality in her body.
The slash of heaven and earth ashes shot straight into the sky, its unparalleled spiritual pressure soaring like a giant dragon, shaking the entire Soul Society and even all the souls within it.
The people fighting in the distance couldn't help but stop fighting, trembling at the sight.
……
"What exactly happened?"
After a surge of spiritual pressure, Kyoraku Shunsui looked up at the sky and saw a large hole appear in the gray domain, revealing gray, transparent cracks that then dissipated.
"Win, win?"
As expected of the old man from the mountains.
"Did we win...?" Retsu Unohana stared intently at the center of the arena, waiting for the dust to settle.
call……
First a gentle breeze blew, then a gust of wind swept through, clearing away the dust and smoke.
The pupils of the crowd dilated slightly.
Yuko was definitely not a good person at this moment. She was covered in black... no, perhaps purple, but it was so intense that it looked like black.
His entire body was enveloped in black spiritual pressure, which was not a simple burst of spiritual pressure, but rather a state resembling the contraction of a domain.
"After I learned Bankai, I thought, since the smaller the domain, the stronger the ability, would it be best to limit the domain to the size of a human form and only cover the whole body?"
Yuko's voice came from inside.
