'Damn it, when are the reinforcements?'
Kitahara was once again forced to dodge by Taikin, and he already had two wounds on his body. He had already reported the strength of this enemy to the Soul Society.
By the time the Ishida Family was attacked, the Grim Soul Reaper responsible for guarding Naruki City had already been killed, and the battle had already begun.
The enemy didn't swarm in all at once, but instead used a feint to lure Ginjo and his group into scattering, after which Togabito appeared and each chose their opponent.
After fighting for more than twenty minutes, Kitahara was already feeling a bit tired, while his spherical opponent remained full of energy.
"Come out, people have seen you!"
The Kirikiki sound came from the fat ball's mouth, and Kitahara's stomach churned. He thought to himself, "This is disgusting!"
His rapid breathing gave away his hiding place, Kitahara was forced out by a pink attack.
After more than ten attempts, Kitahara discovered that there was only one place on Taikin's body where he couldn't open his mouth: his head, which was covered by a half-mask.
Once Kitahara's attack is aimed at that area, Taikin either dodges or tries to block it. This guy's weakness is obvious, but unfortunately, he's too fast to hit.
'Since I can't hit it, let's try getting close!'
Kitahara Takumi was also a confident man. He picked up a sharp iron rod and decided to engage Taikin in close combat in order to find an opportunity.
"Is that all you've got? I thought you'd be stronger just because you're the leader of this group."
The tentacle monster, Qunqing, was mocking Ginjo. After fighting for so long, Ginjo was greatly exhausted, but Qunqing seemed to possess inexhaustible stamina and Reiryoku, and its attack strength had not diminished at all.
"Whether you're strong or not, wait until you get split in two before you judge!"
Sensing the dire situation on other battlefields, Ginjo's anger flared. He pulled out his Substitute Soul Reaper Badge and pressed it onto the 'Cross Gallows,' unleashing his power.
That was the Reiatsu absorbed by the Substitute Badge, silently and imperceptibly, and normally you couldn't sense it at all.
Over the years, Ginjo had become familiar with the Substitute Badge and could extract its essence, which was how he discovered the Substitute Badge's secret.
Subsequently, after a period of training, he was able to 'Bankai' through the accumulation of the power of the Substitute Badge.
Clang! Pfft!
The tentacles could not stop Ginjo's slash; his strength and speed had increased, leaving the blood-soaked Qunqing utterly astonished.
The tentacles extending from his body were instantly severed by Ginjo, and even the Cero he condensed with Hollow power was forcibly cleaved in two by Ginjo.
"It seems I cannot take your power. In that case, then die!"
The Silver City Necklace provides the Fullbring technique 'Cross Gallows', while the Agent's Certificate provides the ability to plunder power, including the spiritual power of the Grim Reaper and other humans, as well as their Fullbring abilities.
When he discovered that plundering was ineffective against the Qunqing, he immediately released his Reiatsu to its maximum, intending to end the battle in one fell swoop.
"Ginjo is stronger and doesn't need reinforcements. Kitahara can't be defeated, but we should be able to stall for time. I'll go reinforce Tsukishima and the others first."
Ryūsaki instantly sensed the surging Reiatsu emanating from Ginjo and immediately understood the relative strengths and weaknesses of the three battlefields. Logically, she would definitely go to support the weaker side first.
However, this time there were two disadvantaged sides, and he chose the wrong target to support...
Kitahara chose to engage in close combat with Taikin. Just as his iron rod thrust forward, it was bitten by Taikin's open mouth with its left hand, and then a sharp sword Reishi Condensation pierced through him.
After Taikin landed a successful blow, Kirikiki, "Really, I didn't want to kill you, but unfortunately you're someone else's ticket to freedom, so I can only celebrate with your life first."
Suddenly, Kitahara, who had been silent, stretched out his hands and grabbed Taikin with all his Reiryoku, a mocking smile on his lips, "I've got you, so don't even think about hurting Ginjo and the others!"
"This time, I'll be the pebble myself, haha!"
The slingshot fell to the ground, forming a slingshot that didn't need to be pulled. Kitahara used himself as the projectile to launch the slingshot, along with Taikin, whom he was holding.
"No, stop! Ahh!"
Amidst Taikin's terrified screams, the two were launched into the sky together, followed by a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
"That despicable guy, he actually attacked me by self-harm!"
After the roar, Taikin's angry voice rang out. He wasn't dead; most of his mask was destroyed, but some parts remained intact.
As Togabito had been tormented countless times by Hell, he couldn't understand why Kitahara didn't cherish his life.
Qunqing Ginjo, who had just been slashed by Qun Qing's sword and crashed into the ruins of a building, was about to rush down to finish him off when, with that loud bang, he froze in place.
My friend Kitahara Takumi's Reiatsu... has disappeared!
He thought he had sensed something wrong, and searched for Kitahara's spiritual network several times. When he still couldn't find it, he finally realized that Kitahara was dead.
"Looks like Taikin succeeded. Damn it, I'm a bit outmatched by him. I'll have to team up with him." Qunqing sensed it too, and the idea of joining forces with Taikin immediately came to mind.
Ginjo's face was extremely gloomy. He asked Qunqing with a trembling voice, "Taikin? The name of the guy who fought Kitahara?"
"That's right, once Taikin arrives, you'll die..."
"Bankai!"
Before Qunqing could utter the last two words, Ginjo Bankai overwhelming Reiatsu. This was a technique he had mastered over the past few months and had kept as a killing move, never used against his enemies.
The surging purple Reiatsu ribbons gradually dissipated, and Ginjo's new appearance surprised Qunqing for a moment.
Ginjo's hair turned white, the whites of his eyes turned black, his face had diagonal cross-shaped markings, a fluffy Wind Collar, black and white armor, and four purple Reiatsu wings appeared on his back, like dragonflies.
The Greatsword has also changed. Several sharp teeth are attached to the hilt, the guard has become a pair of curved spirals, the grip is flat, and the hilt is sharp like a curved dagger.
"Go to hell!"
With a flap of its purple wings, Ginjo transformed into a streak of purple light and swept past, instantly splitting the Qunqing Dragon in two.
The mask of the Qunqing began to shatter, followed by a buzzing sound in the space. The Ginjo, which was about to turn around and smash the Qunqing to pieces, stopped, and the two welcoming Gates of Hell slowly opened.
"No, no!"
The two Qunqing could still make a sound, and their eyes were still moving, but as a super Tachi was extended, he was pulled onto the blade and turned into dust.
And only after all the dust was absorbed by Hell did the Gates of Hell slowly close... This wasn't the first time Ginjo had seen the Gates of Hell open.
Ginjo's cold gaze froze for a moment. In the instant he killed Qunqing, it was as if he had purified a Void. Then Qunqing's mask shattered, and the Gates of Hell opened, dragging him back to Hell.
He had an idea: Hell certainly doesn't allow anyone to come out; those people have simply evaded the observation of Hell's will through some means, which is why they can be active in the World of the Living world.
The moment Ginjo noticed Taikin's arrival, he looked up and stared at him with cold eyes. "Is that so? Just try it with this ball."
Taikin exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Qunqing was actually killed? How did you do that? Those eyes are terrifying. Please don't do this, I will..."
Pfft!
In the midst of the rapid movement, before Taikin could even utter the word "fear," a knife had already been plunged into his chest.
Pfft!
He threw a punch in retaliation, but was stabbed in the back. The difference in skill was too great; Taikin simply couldn't keep up with Ginjo's movements.
"I won't let you go back to Hell all at once, I'll cut you into a hundred pieces!"
Ginjo's chilling words stung Taikin. In Hell, death is not frightening; what is frightening is the constant torment.
There were also powerful Togabito among them who could easily evade the pursuit of the will of Hell. They did not engage in battle with the will of Hell, knowing it would be futile.
They Togabito; every kind of perverted Hell exists there, and even Taikin knows about this punishment of cutting hundreds of times...
Ryūsaki noticed Kitahara's death immediately, but he had no choice but to choose one side to save.
When he arrived, Ginjo and Jackie were already covered in wounds; any later and two more people would have died.
Facing Ziyun, who wielded a strange broadsword, he won with an almost overwhelming advantage.
Ryūsaki's fighting style using Chains led Ziyun to believe that he was also Togabito from Hell, since many Togabito in Hell like to fight with Chains.
Before Ginjo's punishment was over, Ziyun had already been pulled back to Hell.
Escapees like them, once discovered, will be dragged to the deepest level of Hell, captured by the guards there, where dying will become much more difficult...
Ryūsaki led Tsukishima and Jackie to the point where Kitahara's Reiatsu the Vanishing Point, and when they arrived, Ginjo was already standing there motionless.
In less than a minute, the Senkaimon from Soul Society opened, and two Captain-level emerged first.
The numbers on the back of their haori are three and five, respectively: Amagai Shūsuke of the Third Division and Shinji Hirako of the Fifth Division.
As soon as Amagai appeared, he scanned the entire area with his sharp gaze. Not sensing Reiatsu from the enemy, he knew the battle was over.
Just then, footsteps sounded, and two Vice-Captains appeared: Izuru Kira and Momo Hinamori.
Momo Hinamori was clearly inexperienced; she asked Hirako, "Where is the enemy?"
"They must have been repelled by the Substitute Soul Reaper's team, right, Mr. Ginjo?" Hirako answered his subordinate, then turned to Ginjo to confirm.
Ginjo, who had lost his best friend, ignored him and stared blankly at the slingshot fragment from Kitahara.
"You're only arriving now? You might as well be here to collect the body!"
Ryūsaki's sudden sarcastic remark drew the attention of all four members of the Soul Reaper faction, instantly plunging the atmosphere into a freezing state.
