Instantly Killing Five

Lille Barro opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Suddenly, his body trembled as an intense pain began to erode his body. His pupils dilated, and he could hardly believe that his life force was rapidly fading away.

Who was it? Who was able to arrive behind him so stealthily and strike him?

Lille Barro turned his head with difficulty, and before his vision completely went dark, all he could see was a blade that stretched as far as the eye could see; he couldn't even see where the person who had made the move was.

The blade was pulled from Lille Barro's body, and a patch the size of a snake scale could be vaguely seen missing from the middle of the blade.

As the blade left his body, Lille Barro could no longer hold on. His eyes glazed over as he fell forward. Until the very last moment before his death, his finger on the trigger remained limp, and his prized sniper rifle never even had a chance to be displayed.

Lille Barro's spiritual pressure suddenly disappeared, immediately attracting the attention of the other Quincy. But as soon as they looked in Lille Barro's direction, they were met with a sharp blade that suddenly shot towards them.

Shinsō - Mutō Renjin!

Having experienced the previous battle with the Quincy, Gin Ichimaru used Las Noches as the starting point to construct a spiderweb-like network of passageways beneath Las Noches.

Upon hearing that the Quincy were about to attack Las Noches, Gin Ichimaru had already hidden himself in his secret passage.

During the years he followed Aizen, he always learned something. Although his research ability was not as good as Aizen's, it was not difficult for Gin Ichimaru to make some small detection devices.

After hiding in the passage, Gin Ichimaru easily located the Quincy squad and began to circle around behind them using the Quincy passage.

According to Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen's plan, the appearance of Kaname Tōsen and Sajin Komamura was intended to slow Quincy's operation, allowing Gin Ichimaru to find the perfect sniping position.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of these two prompted Lille Barro to raise his gun, Gin Ichimaru with no choice but to choose Lille Barro as his first target.

The most deadly aspect of the Bankai Shinsō is its potent poison that can dissolve cells. When Gin Ichimaru struck Lille Barro with the Shinsō, death was Lille Barro's only path.

Fortunately, apart from Lille Barro, most of the members of this Quincy were not particularly clever, allowing Gin Ichimaru to retrieve his Shinsō the instant he killed Lille Barro and launch another attack on them.

The Mutō Renjin strikes, with Gin Ichimaru giving one to each Quincy. Although the Quincy were scattered around, for Gin Ichimaru, who was far away, it was just a matter of moving his wrist.

There were four sizzling sounds of blades piercing bodies. Apart from Cang Du and Dorisuk, the other four were almost simultaneously struck by Gin Ichimaru's blade.

The moment Cang Du saw Lille Barro fall, he instinctively turned his entire body into steel, while Dorisuk, on the other hand, was purely driven by strength; his almost solidified Blut Vene blocked Gin Ichimaru's sneak attack.

The other four were not in good condition. Although some, like Cang Du, used the Blut Vene immediately, their speed was still too slow to catch up with the Shinsō, which was 500 times the speed of sound.

Without exception, Gin Ichimaru left highly poisoned fragments of his blade inside their bodies, and at the same moment, they all felt the same pain that Lille Barro was in before he collapsed.

"So easy?" Ginjo, who hadn't yet stepped forward, was dumbfounded. Just seconds ago, the Quincy were coming on strong, but in the blink of an eye, almost all of them had been taken down?

"You didn't fall for it, that's great!" Grimmjow's face showed a gradually increasing maniacal smile. If his opponent had lost to Gin Ichimaru, he would really go crazy, and then he would never be able to get revenge.

"How could that kind of move possibly kill me?" Cang Du said with lingering fear. He had already recognized whose attack it was. It seemed that his ability really was the one that countered Gin Ichimaru back in Hueco Mundo, otherwise he would have died countless times.

Dorisuk felt something pin him to the back and was about to turn around when suddenly a pitch-black space enveloped him.

Kaname Tōsen wouldn't let Dorisuk have a chance to lose focus. He activated his Bankai Enma Kōrogi, and this huge black space even contained the Black Rope Heavenly Punisher Myōō.

Kaname Tōsen believed that with his and Sajin Komamura's teamwork, Dorisuk was only strong on the surface and wouldn't waste too much time.

The Shinsō retracted all the way back to the hand of Gin Ichimaru, who was hiding behind a sand dune in the distance. Looking at the five holes in the Shinsō, he said, "Two of them missed? What a pity."

Gin Ichimaru originally intended to wipe out the entire Quincy squad. With the power of his Shinsō, he could definitely carry out an assassination. However, he didn't expect his old nemesis Cang Du, to react so quickly, and that guy Dorisuk's strength level was completely different from what the intelligence indicated.

Gin Ichimaru Flash Step beside Lille Barro, and just to be safe, he delivered another blow to Lille Barro's neck and head.

"Is it really necessary to be so cautious?" Ginjo walked over and greeted him, "This person is clearly beyond dead."

"The intelligence says that Yhwach has the ability to revive Quincy. If I had the power of Quincy like Sawada Tsunayoshi, I would crush them into Reishi," Gin Ichimaru said, his cautious approach reflecting his consistent style.

"Information... Without the intelligence Aura brought, we might have really been caught off guard." Nel walked over and looked at the enormous Enma Kōrogi space, saying, "I didn't expect the Quincy would actually lay an ambush in Hueco Mundo beforehand for the sake of the Saint Letters O."

"Speaking of which, it's only this Saint Letters O that exceeded the calculations; everything else is still within expectations." Ginjo speculated, looking at the battlefield between Cang Du and Grimmjow. "If this is the case, the battle between the World of the Living and Soul Society will be over soon, right?"

"It's hard to say. The only variable is Yhwach," Gin Ichimaru said.

The World of the Living.

After Ryūken accepted Eslot's provocation, the other Sternritter members also took action.

Minnie approached Chad as usual. Ever since she was defeated by Chad in London, she had been holding a grudge. This time, she joined the World of the Living team because she was sure Chad was in the World of the Living.

Seeing the girl holding the pink barbell, Chad understood and decided to fight her. With the Giant's Right Arm, the Devil's Left Arm, and the Knight's Armor, their battle was a pure physical fight.

Candice was about to unleash a thunderbolt upon these enemies of the World of the Living. Her arm was already raised high above her head, lightning flashing at her fingertips. Just as she was about to strike, something pulled at her wrist.

Turning her head, she saw a thin, pink, sticky object. At the other end of this object, a pale-faced person was pulling on her wrist.

"Who are you?" Candice asked, frowning. She had a general idea of the opponents she might encounter in this battle, but because of her fiery personality, she had no interest in boring meetings, so she couldn't remember where she had seen this face before.

"Sora Inoue, former Espada." Sora Inoue introduced himself expressionlessly.

"So it was you. The Hollow can cooperate with humans?" Candice vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

"This is my home, and protecting it is my duty."

Sora Inoue is a Hollow who lives in the World of the Living. Unlike Ginjo and the others who take turns living there, he is stationed there year-round. This is not something he finds difficult to adapt to since he grew up in Karakura Town. Sometimes, Sora Inoue even helps Nozomi Kujō deal with some low-level Hollows who have no senses.

"Forget it, I'm not interested." Candice picked at her ear with some annoyance, then grinned dramatically. "I'll start with you, the one I'm about to kill!"

Seeing Tsuna disappear from sight and being entangled by Ichigo again, Haschwalth immediately said to the remaining Quincy, "Launch a free attack and force Sawada Tsunayoshi out!"

Seeing Sawada Tsunayoshi's disappearance, Haschwalth couldn't help but feel worried. Although he knew that Yhwach had sealed the connection between the Three Worlds, he couldn't be sure if Sawada Tsunayoshi would have some means to forcibly enter Soul Society and disrupt Yhwach's plans.

The other ordinary Quincy immediately obeyed Haschwalth's orders, drawing their Spirit Bow and beginning to fire at the surrounding area, using this method to force Tsuna to show himself.

"How dare you!"

Haschwalth's order struck at Ichigo's most vulnerable spot, and the scene of London's destruction flashed before his eyes once again. Ichigo's eyes turned bloodshot, and his attacks on Haschwalth became even more ferocious.

"Calm down, Ichigo!" Uryū's voice brought Ichigo back to his senses somewhat.

"How can you expect me to stay calm? He actually dared to order an attack on Karakura Town!" Ichigo roared.

"Calm down, everyone in Karakura Town has already taken refuge. And look, our friends have arrived!" Uryū said.

Ichigo looked up and saw Hachigen greeting him while setting up Ichigo Kido barrier, while Aizen Love was hitting someone with his Kanabo and saying something.

"Xiao Bai and I came to the World of the Living to buy some of the latest comics, but we found we couldn't go back once we got to Urahara Shop."

Among the crowd, Ichigo also spotted a petite figure, accompanied by a bearded man—it was Koume and Kukaku Shiba.

With the two Kido masters of Kukaku Shiba and Hachigen, there's no need to worry about other Quincy threatening Karakura Town for the time being.

Just as Ichigo relaxed, his movements suddenly stopped. Uryū quickly used the Antithesis to switch positions with Ichigo and block Haschwalth's attack.

"What are you daydreaming about!"

"I... Tsuna is back again?" Ichigo and Uryū quickly suppressed Haschwalth, but I still couldn't help but keep looking back at Sawada Tsunayoshi in the crowd.

"Didn't you see that Tsuna was standing on the Quincy's side?" Uryū said irritably, then looked at Haschwalth, "That Saint Letters Y came to the World of the Living for Tsuna's power, right!"

Haschwalth smiled without saying a word. He brought Loyd Lloyd to the World of the Living for Tsuna's abilities. After transforming into Sawada Tsunayoshi's appearance, Loyd possessed strength and combat skills comparable to Tsuna, which would be a very important trump card for their team.
