The Slap in the Face Came Too Fast

Roar!

The tiger roared, the dragon chanted.

A surge of spiritual pressure, seemingly on the verge of solidifying, suddenly poured forth from the thunderclouds.

Accompanied by deep rumbling and explosive crackling.

Seeing this scene.

The captains observing from outside could not help swallowing.

Though the ultimate move had yet to descend.

Its sheer presence was already extraordinary.

Roar!

Another furious roar rang out.

At that moment.

A massive blue head emerged from the thunderclouds.

A pair of enormous lightning claws waved through the air.

Two huge crimson eyes.

Looked as though they had been formed from pooled blood.

"What... is that?"

"It looks like a Kirin!"

"Captain Lin Feng's sword spirit is actually the legendary Kirin! He can actually suppress such a terrifying monster!"

In Soul Society.

Dragons.

Though rare.

Were not nonexistent.

Toshiro Hitsugaya's sword spirit was an Ice Dragon.

But.

The Kirin was different.

In Soul Society.

The Kirin was a creature that existed only in ancient legends.

Everyone had seen illustrations of Kirin in extremely old texts.

But no one had ever seen a true Kirin form.

Not even Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had seen one.

They watched as.

After the Lightning Kirin appeared.

It suddenly dove toward the ground.

Its entire body immediately struggled free from the thunderclouds.

It shook its enormous head.

And snorted.

At once.

Streams of reishi turbulence emerged.

Continuously battering the surrounding walls through the air.

Making the entire laboratory tremble repeatedly.

"Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri... can your laboratory really withstand Captain Lin Feng's Bankai?"

Sasakibe Chojiro, Vice Captain of the 1st Division, swallowed.

His Zanpakuto was lightning-based as well.

But.

His Gonryōmaru was nowhere near as terrifying as what Lin Feng had displayed.

Moreover.

Everyone could tell.

In order to let them see more clearly, Lin Feng had deliberately slowed the Kirin's movements.
