The force of the Hyappo Rankan instantly riddled Ashido with holes, but fortunately, he possessed considerable internal energy, so this level of injury was not enough to defeat him.

With a roar, Ashido tensed all his muscles and used his physical strength to shatter all the white rods on his body, charging towards Soya Ashirogi once again.

This time, Ashido's hands transformed into sharp claws like antelope horns, which he swiftly swung in front of him, determined to tear apart any obstacle.

Hadō - Chapter 30 - Sōkatsui.

Thirty pale white flames gathered around Soya Ashirogi and shot towards Ashido by one.

The mere Sōkatsui could not possibly stop Ashido's actions, but it was enough to slow Ashido down.

Just as Ashido was tearing apart the attack of the Sōkatsui, he did not notice that large, snake-like Chains were wriggling toward him from his feet.

With his thirtieth claw strike, Ashido broke through Soya Ashirogi's attack, but suddenly found that he couldn't move his hands. Not just his hands, but his entire body was paralyzed.

The Chain Lock, coiled and looped like snakes, began to spread from Ashido's feet toward his body. Before Ashido could even make a move, his body was already tightly bound.

If this continued, there would be no hope at all. Before the Chain Lock could spread to his neck, Ashido gathered a deep red spiritual pressure Soya Ashirogi.

Cero can use Ashido, but it's nowhere near as powerful as his Bankai.

This seemingly unremarkable Cero pierced through Soya Ashirogi's body before Ashido could be completely bound.

After Ashido could see no further results; even his head was tightly bound by Soya Ashirogi, making him look like a large silkworm cocoon.

The silkworm pupa formed by the Chains was still swaying, and it was clear that Ashido was still struggling, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free, because there were still endless Chains waiting for him around Ashido.

"Congratulations on hitting me, but that's all." With Soya Ashirogi's abdomen disappeared.

It's not fair to say that Ashido weak; he's merely on par with the entire Seireitei Reishi. Ashido, with his ordinary Captain-level strength, is far from qualified.

Soya Ashirogi looked at Kenpachi Zaraki, "Can we begin the Kenpachi challenge now? The eleventh Kenpachi."

"Fine, I'll play with you for a bit."

In truth, Kenpachi Zaraki wasn't particularly interested in fighting Soya Ashirogi. He preferred the exhilarating feeling of every strike landing squarely. He didn't even consider Soya Ashirogi, an opponent he couldn't hit no matter what, as an opponent he didn't want to fight, if he weren't Kenpachi.

Having inherited the name of Kenpachi, one must also bear the obligations of Kenpachi; anyone can challenge him in the manner of Kenpachi's challenge.

Let's finish this quickly!

Kenpachi Zaraki appeared in front of Soya Ashirogi in an instant and slashed down with his sword, but just as he had expected, his sword missed Soya Ashirogi's body.

"Ah, I hate opponents like you the most!" Kenpachi Zaraki made no attempt to hide his disgust and ripped off his eyepatch.

Although Kenpachi Zaraki disliked Aizen, he agreed with what Aizen said: the battle between Bleach is a battle of spiritual pressure. No matter what strange abilities Soya Ashirogi have, in the face of absolute spiritual pressure, everything is equal!

Kenpachi Zaraki unleashed a gust of sword wind that pressed down on Soya Ashirogi. Soya Ashirogi remained calm, mobilizing the surrounding Reishi to help him resist Zaraki's pressure.

"Captain Zaraki is about to find out, isn't he?" Tsuna said, looking at Kenpachi Zaraki. "Just how immense is the spiritual pressure of the opponent he's facing?"

The sword wind unleashed at full power was like a gentle breeze brushing against Soya Ashirogi 'Soya Ashirogi body, posing no threat whatsoever.

Kenpachi Zaraki realized he had to take this seriously. His opponent was indeed quite strong; his Zanpakuto him in the slightest, and his spiritual pressure couldn't suppress him. For a moment, Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to have lost his effective means of fighting back.

Kenpachi Zaraki hesitated to make a move, Soya Ashirogi wouldn't wait for him. With a flick of his finger, he unleashed another powerful Kido attack on Kenpachi Zaraki. This time, unlike Ashido, Kenpachi showed no mercy in his challenge.

Hadō Ten: Kurohitsugi!

One black coffin within another, ten layers of Kurohitsugi sealing Zaraki like a nesting doll.

Even Aizen only used two Kurohitsugi back then, Soya Ashirogi used ten Kurohitsugi to lock one person in place, which was an unprecedented move.

The spiritual pressure emanating from the Kurohitsugi was piercing and exploding; each change could tear the person trapped inside to shreds. Once trapped by this blackness, one truly became a black coffin, just as its name suggested.

However, Soya Ashirogi had no intention of stopping his attack. His hands continuously mobilized the Reishi around the Squad 11, using these forces to drive new techniques.

Ten layers of Kurohitsugi wouldn't be enough to trap Kenpachi Zaraki. This shows Soya Ashirogi's trust in Kenpachi Zaraki. Back in the time of the Muken, he had already learned that with Sawada Tsunayoshi's intervention, Kenpachi Zaraki was no longer the simpleton who used his eyepatch as a trump card.

"Devour, Nodachi!"

From inside the Kurohitsugi came Kenpachi Zaraki's wild shouts. As the sound subsided, a horizontal crack appeared in the Kurohitsugi. The crack gradually widened, and Kenpachi Zaraki, carrying a large sword on his shoulder, walked out from it.

With the Shikai, Zaraki also learned the Shikai of his Zanpakuto.

Nodachi, this is a huge Zanpakuto, so Zaraki has to carry it on his shoulder to avoid hindering his movements. The blade near the hilt has an exaggerated curve, making it look more like a giant cleaver.

Kenpachi Zaraki's appearance carrying a large sword was something Soya Ashirogi had anticipated. The sky was already filled with countless pink stars, a salute to Nodachi's arrival.

Hadō: Hundred Styles: Senju Kōten Taihō!

The Senju Kōten Taihō is designed to fire several powerful cannonballs at once, Soya Ashirogi has expanded this to over a hundred in one go.

It could be said that the coverage area of these pink cannonballs far exceeded that of the Squad 11; everyone in Seireitei saw these pink stars that suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Wow, they're sparkly." Of everyone, only Yachiru Kusajishi had such a big heart, which, from another perspective, shows that she didn't think these shells could pose a threat to Kenpachi Zaraki.

Kenpachi Zaraki swung his sword towards the sky, unleashing a sword wind that was far stronger than the previous one, instantly detonating a series of pink projectiles.

If it were an ordinary Bleach, perhaps Zaraki would have crushed it into a thin slice out of thin air with a single strike?

This is Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto, Nodachi; it has no superfluous abilities, only pure numerical beauty.

When Kenpachi Zaraki uses his Shikai, everyone except Bleach who can Beyond Bankai must show him a great deal of respect. His power to overcome all techniques has reached its peak in this Nodachi.

Nodachi swung his sword repeatedly, and a series of explosions rang out. In the end, the starry sky that Soya Ashirogi had prepared for Kenpachi Zaraki was of no use.

Ultimately, it was because Senju Kōten Taihō's attack power was too scattered, and it simply couldn't compete with Kenpachi Zaraki's single strike.

So, in the Kido, are there attacks that are concentrated in one place? Yes.

Hadō 96: Ittō Kasō, its ability is to slash at the enemy with a huge blade-shaped flame.

The reason this Kido has such a high serial number is twofold: firstly, because of its concentrated, extremely powerful single-target destructive force, and secondly, because it can only be activated through a charred body as a medium.

In the original storyline, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto attempted to kill Aizen with a Ittō Kasō, sacrificing an arm, but unfortunately, he failed.

The fact that Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who possesses unique Hakuda combat skills, chose to deal with Aizen speaks volumes about the power of the Ittō Kasō Cremation technique.

Compared to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's method, which required sacrificing his spirit to use the Ittō Kasō technique, Soya Ashirogi, which involved merging himself with the Seireitei, was much simpler.

In a sense, Seireitei is him, and he is Seireitei; the so-called sacrifices are merely a few bricks and stones of Seireitei.

In Soya Ashirogi Ittō Kasō" technique has no restrictions whatsoever!

Huge Flame Blade blades appeared in the sky above Seireitei, the flames causing a rapid rise in temperature, reminiscent of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai.

This situation really had nothing to do with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto; the main reason was that Soya Ashirogi had condensed far too many Ittō Kasō.

Hadō ·Ninety-nine· Ittō Kasō.

"Hey, isn't this getting a bit out of hand?"

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Kyōraku gazed at the sky above the Squad 11, quickly pulled out a communicator, and contacted Tsuna, "I told you, no one can die!"

"Don't worry, it's far from a life-threatening situation. At most, it'll just be a bit hot," Tsuna reassured Kyōraku.

"How can I be at ease? There are so many Ittō Kasō that could bury the Seireitei!" Kyōraku shouted.

"There's no other way. You have to talk to the person involved, or I can step in and stop the fight directly?"

"When you make your move should be up to Captain Unohana." Kyōraku thought for a moment and then passed the question on to Unohana Retsu. As Kenpachi's senior, it would be reasonable for her to intervene at any time.

Kyōraku and Tsuna's conversation wasn't in vain. As everyone knows, Soya Ashirogi has merged with the Seireitei. Kyōraku and Tsuna's dialogue was to tell Soya Ashirogi to hold back.

Therefore, Kyōraku doesn't care what Tsuna does, as long as he explains the dangers of Soya Ashirogi's technique Soya Ashirogi, who can hear their conversation, will definitely restrain himself.

"What are you waiting for!"

What Kyōraku didn't anticipate was that while Soya Ashirogi did indeed slow down his movements, Kenpachi Zaraki became restless. He leaped high into the air and slashed at one of the fire swords.

The explosion of the Ittō Kasō caused a huge roar; this was the death knell that Soya Ashirogi had deliberately tolled for Kenpachi Zaraki Azashiro.

Although he might not be considered a qualified Kenpachi, Kenpachi's honor Soya Ashirogi. His opponent has already sent him a match invitation, and all he can do is accept the challenge!
