Young people these days really have no sense of martial ethics.

Kuruyashiki Kenpachi drew a wooden branch and slashed horizontally at Dōsan. The blade formed by Spiritual Pressure was even sharper than Zanpakuto at this moment, but when it struck Dōsan Hanyū, it was as if it had cut through a thin membrane.

Kuruyashiki could even feel a strong rebounding force coming from the wooden branch in his hand.

"What's this?"

Why are battles in later generations so flashy and elaborate?

The Spiritual Pressure from the enlarged Kuruyashiki's spiritual energy caused his disheveled hair to seem to explode.

Although Kuruyashiki's Spiritual Pressure was strong, without the aid of Bankai, he could not overwhelm Dōsan in terms of Spiritual Pressure, and this slash did not produce enough changes in Spiritual Pressure.

Under the Mirror Reversal of Spiritual Pressure, the more force Kuruyashiki Kenpachi exerted, the greater the rebound force became.

Finally.

With a No Cause "bang," the force of the counterattack continued to act on the wooden branch, causing it to shatter.

Kuruyashiki Kenpachi reacted quickly and wanted to retreat temporarily, but Dōsan Hanyū had anticipated the current situation and reacted even faster, tiptoeing and using Shunpo to close the distance.

The Spiritual Pressure No Cause from the blade of the black sword was almost tangible.

Now was no time for politeness. Dōsan Hanyū slashed at Kuruyashiki Kenpachi with his sword, and blood splattered from Kuruyashiki's chest.

Given the immense Spiritual Pressure emanating from the Kuruyashiki, Dōsan Hanyū's initial strike, though powerful, didn't penetrate deeply. However, Dōsan's sword didn't slow down; he continued to strike Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's body with each strike.

The "swoosh" sound, No Cause heard on the other battlefield, carried like a cool breeze into Jin'ya Tsunayashiro's ears.

The pain struck the body of the man who Kuruyashiki, but it also pierced the heart of Jin'ya Tsunayashiro.

The three sword strikes landed on Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, but due to his own Spiritual Pressure, Kuruyashiki's injuries were not serious; this was considered a normal exchange of offense and defense.

But Jin'ya Tsunayashiro was already planning to flee.

Legends always come to an end. Perhaps, my own death back then was also seen by others as the fall of a legend.

To this day, Jin'ya Tsunayashiro still believes that many years have passed since his death.

Where are you looking?!

A glint of cold light pierced Jin'ya's cheek.

Jin'ya tilted his head in alarm, a cold glint brushing against his face.

An Hōmonka has already been tattooed in this spot.

He was so close, so very close, to defeat once again.

"Soi Fon, the difference between your Shunpo and Yoruichi Shihōin's is obvious!"

Soi Fon's eyes flashed with a cold light, her fingertip pressed against her lower lip as she coldly stared at Jin'ya Tsunayashiro.

'Good luck, Kuruyashiki!'

Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was also having a hard time being suppressed by Dōsan. He had top-tier Zanpakuto abilities, first-rate swordsmanship, second-rate Hakuda, and his other abilities were all subpar.

But now, without even a knife in his hand, Kuruyashiki can only passively take the beating, completely powerless to fight back.

Silently feel your body, and that glimmer of light deep within your soul, silently rediscover the feeling of once holding Zanpakuto.

"Slaughter is born of good fortune, respect for darkness and old age is forever farewell, the Gagaku Kairō!"

They've arrived.

Thirty white spheres, each the size of a brown bear, with no eyes or ears, only a gaping mouth.

This is a Zanpakuto ability that qualifies to be recorded in the history textbooks of the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts.

This Zanpakuto, Gagaku Kairō, is even ranked among the top ten Zanpakuto abilities by the Soul Society.

Kuruyashiki stretched out his hand, and the white sphere that the Gagaku Kairō had transformed into spun around Dōsan Hanyū, like a shark smelling blood, lunging at Dōsan Hanyū in the center.

It can really be performed.

Jin'ya Tsunayashiro had originally planned to flee, changed his mind.

There is a theory that the strongest characters in Soul Reaper can use their abilities without the aid of Zanpakuto.

Because the power of a Zanpakuto comes from the Shinigami's spiritual pressure, or rather, the Shinigami's "heart".

In ancient times, before the Zanpakuto, the strongest individuals of that era honed their inner strength and unleashed the power within their bodies.

For example, the Tenzō Tenjō.

The Zanpakuto is a medium, a shortcut for Soul Reaper to discover their inner power.

That's why Tenzō Tenjō looks down on the Soul Reaper of today. Taking shortcuts makes Shikai easy and Bankai not difficult either, but for ordinary Soul Reaper of today, it would be difficult to achieve even after a lifetime of effort.

Jin'ya raised his hand and unleashed a Kidō technique, forcing back Soi Fon, who was as sticky as chewing gum.

"If we get any closer in the next battle, we might lose our lives."

Not that bad.

Jin'ya Tsunayashiro, in his current resurrected state, has Spiritual Pressure that is not much weaker than that of Kuruyashiki Kenpachi.

The current Jin'ya is too afraid of death, and being far away makes it easier to escape.

Of course, at this time, Jin'ya Tsunayashiro had not yet considered that his life and death were completely controlled by Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Soi Fon did not refuse and followed behind Jin'ya. At least for now, Dōsan had an absolute advantage, and Soi Fon did not want to hold Dōsan back.

The monsters spawned in the Gagaku Kairō rushed towards Dōsan. Instead of fighting head-on with his sword, Dōsan stretched out his left hand and opened a layer of invisible Mirror Reversal.

"Crunch, crunch."

The essence of Spiritual Pressure analysis and counterattack Mirror Reversal was like a plate of food, which was bitten and swallowed.

Um?

In essence, Mirror Reversal should not be able to be swallowed.

Seeing the monster approaching Dōsan still didn't draw his sword, but instead used Shunpo) to escape immediately.

Although the monsters were enormous, numbering thirty in total, they were clumsy in their movements, and their only means of attack was to tear at each other with their huge mouths.

Dōsan used his Shunpo to dodge left and right between the monsters, while the monsters seemed to be devouring Dōsan's "exhaust gas," constantly closing their gaping maws.

After taking only three steps, Dōsan felt his Spiritual Pressure being devoured.

Moreover, the stronger the Spiritual Pressure he exerted, the faster the monsters devoured him.

If I keep using Shunpo to dodge like this, I estimate I'll be drained of all my energy in less than ten minutes.

No.

Without hesitation, Dōsan waved his hand and raised his white eyebrows sharply.

"Hadō 90: Black Coffin!"

Soi Fon and her companion fought their way through the devastated forest to a place where the exact features of another battlefield were no longer discernible.

Upon arriving here, Soi Fon immediately sensed that Dōsan's Spiritual Pressure was boiling like a pot of water.

After briefly separating from Jin'ya, Soi Fon looked over and saw a huge coffin, as if it were about to bury this world. It was dark and eerie, sending chills down her spine.

Soi Fon was somewhat worried, muttering to herself in a voice so faint that only she could hear it.

"Dōsan."

On the front lines, Dōsan, who had just unleashed his Kidō technique, took a deep breath.

Even with Dōsan's current strength and condition, using the 90th Dao Hadō still caused him to experience a temporary depletion of Spiritual Pressure.

Black Coffin shrouded Kuruyashiki Kenpachi and half of the monsters.

Dōsan could sense that Black Coffin, Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's Spiritual Pressure was expanding and fluctuating violently.

It was obvious that Kuruyashiki Kenpachi was not in good health Black Coffin. Moreover, the gray mist that was originally only visible to Dōsan had now enveloped Kuruyashiki Kenpachi's entire body at Black Coffin wound sites on his body.

But.

After a while, the Black Coffin disappeared like a piece of burning paper Hadō to the ninth level was breached.

The monsters summoned by the Gagaku Kairō are clinging to the inside and outside of the Black Coffin, devouring this number ninety, a true high-level Kidō.

Dōsan Hanyū finally realized and understood the true value of the strongest Kenpachi.

The man before me is Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, who was specially invited to join the Zero Division because of his combat prowess.
