The Visored (10/6)

Tokoyo Misao waved his hand. "Didn't I just say that?"

I was planning to go to Urahara Shop to exchange some money, but it turns out your place is almost identical to theirs, which led me to the wrong location.

"Of course, because I was the one who developed this concealment formation."

Hachigen Ushōda chimed in, his words essentially endorsing the idea of Tokoyo Misao).

After all, he was far more skilled at concealing the Kidō than the people at Urahara Shop.

"Since you've taken the wrong path, you'd better leave quickly. We don't welcome Soul Reaper from Soul Society. As for the reason, you're a smart guy, so I probably don't need to explain."

As Shinji Hirako spoke, he Zanpakuto with increasing force in his left hand.

If Tokoyo Misao did not intend to leave and continued to entangle them, he would make his move.

Tokoyo Misao stood still, scanning the Visored.

Suddenly an idea popped into his head, and he asked:

What are your wishes?

"Huh? What, are you going to be Aladdin's genie and grant our wishes?"

Shinji Hirako gave him a look of utter disgust, as if to say, "What did you say, you brat?"

"You've been acting all high and mighty ever since you came in."

You really think you're so great just because you're wearing a white Captain's Haori? Believe me, I'll chop you to pieces with one sword!

Hiyori Sarugaki stepped to the front, Zanpakuto behind her back with her right hand, and roared fiercely downwards, spitting everywhere.

"That's true, that's a bit of a tangent. I don't like to fulfill other people's wishes either."

Tokoyo Misao scratched his head, smiled, and spoke again:

"Do you want to defeat Aizen and avenge yourselves?"

"To be honest, with your current strength, you're simply not good enough."

"You bastard."

In an instant, Hiyori Sarugaki drew her Zanpakuto with her right hand and pulled it down sharply with her left hand to cover her face.

A gray, bone-like mask covered his face, and at the same time, the whites of his eyes turned black, while his pupils turned golden.

Her voice was ethereal, as she leaped down from above, swinging her sword straight at him.

Faced with the sudden attack, Tokoyo Misao had no intention of making a move and remained standing in place with a smile.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"

Rukia's Zanpakuto turned pure white, with an oval-shaped tsuba and a long white ribbon attached to the end of the hilt.

She swung her Zanpakuto, drawing a circle on the ground.

The next moment, the space enclosed by this circle instantly turned into solid ice.

Rukia opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of white air:

"First Dance, Moonlight."

Chapter 87 Visored (10/6)

Rukia Kuchiki held a pure white Zanpakuto in her hand.

Ahead, there was a huge ice pillar rising from the ground into the sky.

Hiyori Sarugaki, wearing Visored, was encased in ice, her Zanpakuto held aloft with both hands.

Rukia frowned slightly, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the Tokoyo Misao beside her, and suppressed her questions.

After all, Tokoyo Misao had just said that.

The people in front of me were all captains and vice-captains of the Gotei 13, meaning they were all Soul Reaper).

However, the person he had frozen was indeed wearing a Hollow mask, and the power emanating from him was a mixture of Hollow and Soul Reaper.

Although wearing the mask didn't significantly boost her power, it only raised her original Fifth-Class Spiritual Pressure to Fourth Class.

Is this the reason they're wanted by Soul Society?

Because it became virtual?

However, everyone on the other side seemed to retain some rationality and was able to communicate.

Rukia remained vigilant, her eyes still fixed on Hiyori, who was encased in ice.

Her gaze met Hiyori's gaze in the air.

The next moment, the sound of the ice cracking and breaking could be heard.

With a bang, the icicle shattered instantly.

Hiyori opened her mouth and roared, "Why is your Zanpakuto so beautiful? Are you showing it off on purpose?"

"Go to hell, you bastard."

Red Reishi continued to gather in front of her open mouth.

"What is this?" Rukia's eyes widened.

She could feel immense power emanating from that ball.

He immediately gripped the Sode no Shirayuki with both hands, keeping the blade level with his line of sight.

Cold white Reishi continuously condensed on the blade, emitting a snow-white luster.

She gently thrust her weapon towards Hiyori, who was gathering her strength, and white Reishi transformed into waves that surged towards the sky.

"Second Dance - White Ripple!"

"Cero!" In front of Hiyori's open mouth, the gathered red Reishi transformed into a beam of light and shot out instantly.

The white waves and the red beam of light collided in the air, creating an explosive sound.

But in just a moment, the white waves were directly swept away, and there was no way to resist the Cero.

"Ha! You're useless except for looking good. You'll be reduced to ashes by Cero, serves you right."

Hiyori roared in high spirits.

The Cero instantly shattered the white waves, shooting straight downwards and engulfing the entire ground below, shouting and yelling.

"Idiot, still so careless." Shinji Hirako muttered, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, a black figure appeared behind Hiyori.

The moment Rukia saw Cero appear, she knew that her own Tsugi no Mai: Hakuren was no match for him.

So, taking advantage of the instant the two forces collided, she used Shunpo.

The Zanpakuto in her hand looked rather strange at that moment.

The originally pure white Sode no Shirayuki are now composed of pure ice, transformed into an ice blade.

She thrust the needle directly into Hiyori's back.

"Three Dances - White Blade!"

"What?" By the time Hiyori realized what was happening, she felt her skin being pierced, and a slight pain rushed to her brain.

If the icy blade continues to pierce, it will pierce her heart.

But the next moment, Rukia drew her blade and swung it wildly to the side.

The ice blade struck the ankle of a green-haired woman who suddenly appeared, shattering like glass.

Rukia Shunpo again, returning to the ground and looking up.

Former Gotei 13 Ninth Division Vice-Captain Mashiro Kuna, hands on hips, addressed Hiyori:

"Your Rei'i Grade is clearly higher, yet you still lost. How shameful!"

"Shut up, I was just careless for a moment," Hiyori shouted unwillingly.

At that moment, the mask on her face shattered instantly, the black in her eye sockets faded, and she returned to her original form.

"Carelessness means death." Mashiro Kuna's tone was light, but it was like a steel blade, piercing Hiyori's fragile pride.

Hiyori gripped her Zanpakuto tightly, filled with resentment, turned to look at Rukia, and roared again:

"Let's try again!"

Rukia asked with some confusion, "Are you Soul Reapers, or something else entirely?"

"Don't rush, Hiyori."

Shinji Hirako reappeared at the forefront, shielding Hiyori and Mashiro Kuna behind him.

He stood in mid-air, looking down, his eyes narrowing.

"As expected of the Kuchiki Clan, their combat skills are quite strong."

He also reached out and covered his cheek, and the next moment, a white mask appeared in his hand, but he didn't put it on his face.

He simply waved the white mask to show it off.

"We are neither Soul Reaper nor Hollow."

You may call us Visored.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people who had been hiding above came into the air and stood behind him.

A group of people stood in the sky, each with their own posture. Although there weren't many of them, they gave off a military vibe.

"Of course, you can also call us the Visored."

Rukia's brow furrowed even deeper.

Actually, Hiyori, who was wearing a mask just now, had a much higher Rei'i Grade than her.

It was only because the opponent was too careless that I was able to launch a successful sneak attack.

Moreover, the ice blade she used just now required her to concentrate almost all of her sixth-level Rei'i to break through the opponent's surface defenses.

If the opponent is prepared, it is very difficult to defeat them head-on, and you will most likely lose.

The people coming out from the other side now, according to what Tokoyo Misao just said, include several former captains of the Gotei 13.

How do you fight in this situation?

Rukia thought for a moment, then straightened up, tucked her Sode no Shirayuki back into her waistband, and walked to stand behind Tokoyo Misao, speaking softly:

"To retreat or to fight?"

"You came to our house, cursed and mocked us, and now you want to leave?"

The moment Shinji Hirako finished speaking, Reiatsu of Third-Class Spiritual Pressure erupted from his body, instantly enveloping Tokoyo Misao and Rukia.

Rukia's body suddenly felt heavy, and she immediately assumed a horse stance to resist.

However, the Tokoyo Misao, seemed unaffected by the Reiatsu and remained standing upright.

When Shinji Hirako saw this, his brows twitched involuntarily.

The next moment, another burst of Reiatsu erupted, emanating from Kensei Muguruma, the former Captain of the Ninth Division the Gotei 13.

However, his Reiatsu did not press down on Rukia, but instead combined with Shinji Hirako's Reiatsu and pressed down on Tokoyo Misao.

Crack—the sound of the ground shattering.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared beneath Tokoyo Misao's feet, and many pebbles were lifted up, but his body remained straight.

Boom!

Two more Captain-level Reiatsu erupted from Love Aikawa and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, overlapping with the previous two Reiatsu and pressing down on Tokoyo Misao.

With a loud thud, the ground instantly sank several meters.

Even with the protection of the Kidō array, this situation still occurred, which is enough to prove just how strong the Reiatsu was in this small area.

Even so, Tokoyo Misao remained standing in place, his posture upright and a smile on his face, as if the Reiatsu had no effect on him at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of monster are you anyway?" Even Shinji Hirako couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes widening.

"He was wearing Captain's Haori, so he should have been marked as Gentei Reiin when he came to the World of the Living."
