The Tenth Division and Noble Street

The person who arrived here was none other than Kaname Tōsen, the former captain of the Gotei 13.

Just as Tōshirō had predicted, he came here.

Kaname Tōsen drew his Zanpakuto and pointed it at the captain's room:

"Come out, Gin Ichimaru! You must pay the price for betraying Lord Aizen!"

Chapter 180 The Tenth Division and the Noble Street

Tōshirō Hitsugaya stared coldly at Kaname Tōsen and said in a chilling voice:

"Are you treating me like I don't exist? That's incredibly arrogant!"

As he said this, he suddenly chuckled softly, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Saying that a blind man is arrogant is a good joke. I'll have to tell it to Boss Misao when he gets back."

With Kaname Tōsen roared, "You bastard, you really are a product of Tokoyo Misao's teachings! You're too arrogant!"

Before he finished speaking, he drew his Zanpakuto, raised it above his head, and prepared to attack.

Clang! A strangely shaped weapon struck his Zanpakuto.

The weapon has a long chain at the end and its main body is a round straight rod.

Above the tip of the stick are two curved blades with opposite edges, which look somewhat like the two blades of a windmill.

Kaname Tōsen turned his head and said coldly, "I don't remember teaching you to be a despicable thief who resorts to sneak attacks."

The attacker was none other than the vice-captain of the Ninth Division, Shūhei Hisagi, who had the number 69 tattooed on his face.

"There is no justice in fighting and killing. As long as the battle can be ended quickly, any tactic can be used."

He stood high in the sky, holding a chain in his hand. He pulled it forcefully behind him, and the fan-like structure Zanpakuto jammed the Zanpakuto.

Then he chanted rapidly. "Flow, thunder and dust, spread along the veins of steel, crawling blades, burn to ashes any that touch you."

"Hadō #11: Tsuzuri Raiden."

Golden lightning bolts traveled down the chains at incredible speed, then passed through Shūhei Hisagi's Zanpakuto, Kazeshini, and from the leaf fan to Kaname Tōsen's Zanpakuto, finally reaching his palm.

Zzzzz! Hit!

A wisp of black smoke drifted from Kaname Tōsen he gripped his Zanpakuto.

However, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he reached out his left hand, grabbed the handle that had been Kazeshini, and pulled hard.

A tremendous force pulled Shūhei Hisagi was gripping the chains, toward the ground.

With a flick of his Kaname Tōsen freed his Zanpakuto Kazeshini in his right hand, raised his hand, and pointed the tip of the blade at Shūhei Hisagi's heart, who had been pulled towards him.

The chains of the Kazeshini were wrapped around Shūhei's right wrist, causing him to Kaname Tōsen.

Lacking sufficient strength, he could only watch helplessly as he hurtled towards the tip of the knife.

He tried desperately to adjust his posture in mid-air, but the difference in strength was too great.

He clenched his teeth, and Reishi gathered in his right hand.

Just then, a chilling voice rang out:

"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"

As the sound rang out, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped.

A large swathe of ice swept towards Kaname Tōsen, forcing him to leave his spot.

At this moment, Shūhei seized the opportunity and opened his palm:

"Hadō #31, Shakkahō!"

The shot hit Tosen's hand, Kaname Tōsen grab the chain, with perfect accuracy, finally allowing him to retrieve the weapon that had been Kazeshini.

He adjusted his posture, stood in the air, and looked at his former captain opposite him, his mind involuntarily recalling his teachings.

"Those Shūhei must always uphold justice."

He simply couldn't understand why the captain, who was more righteous than anyone else, would stoop so low as to associate with hypocrites and even murder his colleagues.

Thinking of this, Shūhei's body trembled slightly as he stared intently at the figure.

"Your eyesight is good. It seems I still remember your teachings very well: in battle, one must remain fearful."

Kaname Tōsen still acted like an elder, offering guidance and instruction.

However, his tone clearly carried a sense of contempt, typical of someone in a superior position.

Suddenly, an extremely cold sensation rose from below him.

He lowered his head slightly and saw an icicle, more than ten meters in diameter, shooting towards him.

Kaname Tōsen reversed his Zanpakuto and said, "Sing, Suzumushi!"

The Zanpakuto in his hand began to tremble rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound like the flapping of bees' wings.

But the sound was much louder, as if thousands of flying insects were flapping their wings at the same time.

The sound wave materialized and swept towards the icicles below.

The enormous icicle seemed to gradually synchronize with the sound, and after a moment it shattered, turning into tiny ice cubes that rustled and fell to the ground.

Tōshirō frowned. "Using vibrations to break my attack?"

But the next moment, he suddenly felt a strange dizziness in his head.

As he came to his senses, a voice rang out from behind him. "The power of the Suzumushi is not so simple."

Kaname Tōsen appeared behind Tōshirō without anyone noticing.

The Suzumushi in his hand still emitted a buzzing sound as he slashed towards Tōshirō.

As the Suzumushi approached, the buzzing sound gradually intensified in Tōshirō's ears.

A moment later, blood flowed from his ear canal, and he felt dizzy at the same time.

Tōshirō gritted his teeth and roared:

"Ice Burst Waterfall!"

Instantly, large patches of ice spikes formed on the ground, piercing towards the sky like an inverted waterfall.

This wide-ranging attack forced Kaname Tōsen use Shunpo again to leave his spot and ascend into the sky.

But as soon as he regained his footing, a gust of wind swept over him, and he raised his Zanpakuto again to parry.

The Kazeshini spun like a fan, and the blades of Shūhei's two reversed blades struck the Zanpakuto repeatedly, making a clanging sound.

It looked like they wanted to grind the Suzumushi down to pieces.

Kaname Tōsen spoke coldly, "The idea is good, but the strength is insufficient. You've been neglecting your cultivation lately. Focus on Shūhei."

After speaking, the trembling sound of the Suzumushi suddenly became louder, and this vibration traveled through the chains of the Kazeshini and all the way into Shūhei's body.

Instantly, he felt excruciating pain in his internal organs and instinctively opened his mouth.

Pfft! A mouthful of blood spurted from Shūhei's mouth, followed by a feeling of weakness throughout his body.

He endured the excruciating pain, jerked his weapon back, and staggered backward.

Kaname Tōsen continued, "That's right, be afraid. Fear is essential in battle."

"You talk too much nonsense." Tōshirō appeared in the sky, pointing his Zanpakuto directly at Kaname Tōsen.

"Is he blind? Is that why he's so long-winded?"

Kaname Tōsen's forehead veins bulged again.

He and Tōshirō had almost no interaction before.

I'm only just realizing how venomous this genius from Soul Society can be.

Moreover, his cold face and icy voice made him even more unpleasant to listen to.

"It seems that the Tokoyo Misao have not taught you manners." He raised his Zanpakuto and pointed it at Tōshirō.

With a slight shake, the previously humming and trembling blade instantly shot out thousands of sharp blades, like a barrage of steel bullets, sweeping across the sky.

"Suzumushi Nishiki: Benihikō."

This time, Tōshirō didn't raise his Zanpakuto; he simply raised his left hand and opened it.

A massive ice wall suddenly appeared less than ten centimeters in front of him.

The ice wall seemed to be trying to separate this space, standing between the two of them.

The sharp blades struck it, making a "thud!" sound, but they couldn't penetrate it at all.

"The Bakudo #81: Modified: Ice Dankū."

As the Tokoyo Misao Morishō, or at least as Tōshirō himself believed, his mastery of Kidō) was naturally quite high, and Reishi Manipulation was an essential skill for him.

Therefore, he combined the power of his own Daiguren Hyōrinmaru with the Kidō Dankū to use this technique.

Kaname Tōsen also noticed that the ice wall was extremely sturdy, to the point that something seemed amiss.

He raised his hand and swung it sharply. "Hadō #54, Haien."

The purple flames crashed against the ice wall, but they couldn't even melt it; they were simply swallowed up.

Tōshirō said coldly, "If it were just pure ice, of course it wouldn't have such high defense."

But I used the Dankū, and combined with it, this ice wall contains compressed air, greatly increasing its defensive power. Even if you use a high-sequence Kidō, it won't make a difference."

"Boss Misao said, the battle between Soul Reaper is a battle of Reiatsu."

However, once you learn how to operate, it's not impossible for someone to overthrow their superiors.

Besides, a genius like me already possesses immense Reiatsu; coupled with my skillful manipulation, I would be invincible.

That's right, these are indeed the exact words that Tokoyo Misao Tsuneyo said when he was teaching Tōshirō.

The ice wall in front of us, which contains compressed air, is a testament to Tōshirō's skill.

Using the same amount of force, you can achieve more than double the effect.

"What utterly shameless talk! Whether it's Tokoyo Misao or you..."

"Bankai, Suzumushi Final Form, Enma Kōrogi!"

Kaname Tōsen's body unleashed an incomparably dark Reiatsu, which, in the blink of an eye before Tōshirō could react, formed a huge oval-shaped barrier that enveloped him.

This barrier is quite large, completely enveloping the entire Tenth Division's barracks.

Tōshirō frowned; he couldn't sense anything in this dark space.

Whether it's sight, hearing, or smell.

He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and licked the back of it. He found that he had lost his sense of taste, let alone his Reishi perception, but the sensation of his tongue licking the back of his hand was still there.

He is now essentially in a completely dark, shrouded space, and has been deprived of many of his senses.

This darkness can involuntarily evoke fear in people, causing them to scream in terror in an instant.

Tōshirō didn't; he discovered that he could still control the Ice Dankū he had already created.

His brow furrowed, and the Ice Dankū suddenly shattered, emitting a crisp tinkling sound, turning into thin pieces of ice that scattered in the air.

At this time, the temperature within the Tenth Division's area had already dropped below zero.

Thud! Blood suddenly spurted from Tōshirō's shoulder as the stinging pain from the sword wound sent a signal to his brain.

Only then did he realize that he had been slashed.

With that in mind, he simply wrapped his body in the ice spikes on his back, putting himself entirely on the defensive and intending to fight passively.

Meanwhile, in the dark space, Kaname Tōsen stood not far from Tōshirō:

"Taking a defensive stance and waiting for rescue? That's certainly a very smart move."

He also had to admit that, after all, he was now the invader, while the Gotei 13 had ample fighting strength.

Ulquiorra and Yammy only attracted three captains, meaning several more captains could arrive to provide support at any time.

Although the final form of the Suzumushi Technique - Enma Kōrogi is inside the barrier, no one can break it.

However, it is much easier to launch an attack from the outside.
