Boom!
A golden slash streaked across the sky, nearly cleaving Sōkyoku Hill in two.
"That spiritual pressure, is that..."
"Zaraki?"
Upon seeing that golden slash and sensing the violent spiritual pressure atop Sōkyoku Hill, everyone still fighting within the Seireitei stopped and looked up toward the hill.
Within a forest, fierce winds and lightning howled, devastating swathes of towering trees.
Two figures clashed amid the wind and lightning.
Boom!
The storm and lightning collided, erupting with a tremendous roar.
The two were naturally the former captain of the Second Division, Shihoin Yoruichi, and its current captain, Soifon.
At that moment, both were using Shunkō.
However, Yoruichi's Shunkō fused lightning-based Kido with her own spiritual pressure, while Soifon's fused wind-based Kido with her spiritual pressure.
In terms of mastery over Shunkō, Shihoin Yoruichi was stronger than Soifon.
Yet, with wind-based Shunkō and Suzumebachi in its Shikai state, Soifon was not at a disadvantage against Shihoin Yoruichi.
After another collision, Shihoin Yoruichi and Soifon landed separately atop the treetops.
Shihoin Yoruichi smiled, while Soifon gritted her teeth.
"Hahahaha, not bad, Soifon."
"Even I only managed to train my Shunkō to this level over the past few years..."
Upon receiving Shihoin Yoruichi's praise, no matter how much resentment Soifon held toward Yoruichi, she could not help but smile.
"Lord Yoruichi, even if you say that, I won't be happy!"
"..."
Shihoin Yoruichi was left speechless.
Girl, shouldn't you press down the corners of your mouth before saying that?
Otherwise, your expression makes it obvious you don't mean it.
After more than a hundred years apart, Little Soifon was still so adorable!
"All right, Soifon. Let's put our battle on hold for now."
"I'm sure you've noticed that, aside from the Ryoka who invaded the Seireitei, someone else is plotting something behind this disturbance."
