Horned Hollow

Upon hearing Ichigo's scream and feeling his agitated spiritual pressure, Tsuna and Yoruichi simultaneously quickened their pace.

"Byakuya Kuchiki is that strong?"

Tsuna somewhat surprised. He sensed Byakuya's spiritual pressure. If nothing unexpected happened, Byakuya was Ichigo's current opponent. According to the original storyline, Ichigo, who had mastered Hollowfication, should not only have overwhelmed Byakuya, but should have been able to fight Byakuya's ultimate move, the White Emperor Sword, to a draw. Why did it sound like a crushing defeat now?

"Kid, don't underestimate the Seireitei's strength. Their thousands-year-old tradition of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, Kidō allows anyone who masters any one of them to reach Captain-level strength. Not to mention, Byakuya is a renowned all-rounder," Yoruichi said. Only she, who often teased Byakuya, knew just how versatile Byakuya truly was.

"Arrive."

Tsuna immediately spotted the area surrounded by Senbonzakura katana. Tsuna immediately drew G's Bow and Arrow and fired a powerful, spiritually charged Crimson Dragon Vortex Arrow at Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's location.

A crimson light flashed, and Renji, lying on the ground, saw a red spiritual pressure attack that was much thicker than his own Higa Zekkou. He had no idea that Bleach could use such a technique.

The Storm Attribute flames have the property of disintegration. Under the powerful tearing of the Crimson Dragon Vortex Arrow, two large gashes were ripped open in the scene, and Tsuna and Yoruichi slipped through the hole in a flash.

"This is troublesome. I should have brought Inoue over earlier."

As soon as Yoruichi entered the interior of the castle, she saw Ichigo Kurosaki with a hole in his chest. Without even analyzing it, Yoruichi knew that Ichigo's Saketsu was broken. If Inoue had that kind of heaven-defying ability, Ichigo might have been able to survive for a long time.

"Kid, you hold on first, I'll take Ichigo to see Inoue," Yoruichi said to Tsuna. She was prepared to risk her reputation as the Flash God to save Ichigo.

"Don't worry, Ichigo won't die. It's us who are in big trouble." Yoruichi wasn't as anxious as Tsuna. He only felt bitterness in his heart, the bitterness of thinking about the opponents he was about to face.

Byakuya also noticed Tsuna and Yoruichi's arrival. Instead of immediately exposing Ichigo's Hakusui, he looked up at Yoruichi in the air and said, "Yoruichi Shihōin, are you also the mastermind behind this incident?"

"What do you mean by 'black hand'? Don't use such harsh language, Byakuya." Yoruichi Ichigo face and threatened Byakuya, "Give that idiot brat back to me right now, or else my little brats won't hold back."

"What makes you think you have the right to threaten me?" Byakuya flicked his wrist, and the tip of Senbonzakura's sword was already pointing at the spot where Ichigo Hakusui. As long as he stabbed it, Ichigo would be completely crippled.

"Byakuya Kuchiki, if you want to keep your life, I advise you to leave Ichigo's side as soon as possible." Tsuna said to Byakuya with a rare serious expression. He could already see the fingertip-sized hole in Ichigo's chest gradually widening.

"Ryoka, watch your tone." Byakuya's Senbonzakura moved a little closer to Ichigo. At this distance, no one could rescue Ichigo Kurosaki from his grasp, not even Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

"Let's wait," Tsuna said to Yoruichi. Since Byakuya was courting death, Tsuna had no interest in forcibly taking Ichigo back.

Ichigo's vision gradually dimmed. He thought he heard Yoruichi and Tsuna's voices. Was he saved? No, Ichigo saw a hole the size of a finger in his chest. It was over. Tsuna, he was too late...

Ichigo's field of vision gradually narrowed, his eyes staring blankly at his chest. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Ichigo noticed that the hole in his chest seemed to be getting bigger.

Perhaps his injuries had worsened? With his last thought, Ichigo lost consciousness.

"Kid, do it! If we wait any longer, it'll be too late!"

Yoruichi believed that Tsuna's actions in stopping Byakuya gave her a lot of room to maneuver in taking Ichigo away. As for Byakuya's threat, Yoruichi thought he posed no threat at all; the Saketsu were already broken, so adding another Hakusui wouldn't be a big deal.

"Wait!" Yoruichi was incredibly fast, almost charging past him with her Flash Cry, forcing Tsuna his Super Activation state to stop her.

"You!" Yoruichi was about to question Tsuna about what he was doing when a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly appeared. Yoruichi looked towards the direction of the spiritual pressure with shock and a hint of fear. The source of this spiritual pressure was Ichigo Kurosaki!

Yoruichi clearly saw that the shattered Visored fragments from Ichigo's loss of consciousness had reformed into white liquid and gathered on Ichigo's face. Ichigo's lips traced a strange curve on his face. Where did Ichigo Kurosaki his spiritual pressure from?

A bloodcurdling scream followed, and Byakuya, who was stunned by the sudden appearance of spiritual pressure, realized that the dying man beside him had somehow turned into a ferocious monster!

Byakuya immediately thrust the Senbonzakura) into Ichigo's arms, but Ichigo's hand ignored the Senbonzakura embedded in him and gripped the sword in Byakuya's hand tightly.

Blood dripped from Ichigo's palm, yet Ichigo seemed oblivious, pushing Senbonzakura away inch by inch.

Something's wrong. Byakuya needs to immediately cut off Ichigo's current offensive. Whether he gets another Zanpakuto or uses Kido, there's not enough time. All that's left is to Hakuda.

Byakuya leaned his weight toward Ichigo, and with an Byakuya strike to Ichigo wound he had pierced, Byakuya was surprised to find that the finger-sized hole in Ichigo's body had grown to the size of a fist.

Is that Hollow Hole?

Byakuya realized that the spiritual pressure emanating from Ichigo was that of a Hollow, but he had fallen into Hollow form simply because his Saketsu were broken. As expected of a half-baked Bleach, Byakuya's eyes changed. Having fallen into Hollow form, Ichigo had already found a way to die!

However, before Byakuya's attack could land on Ichigo, a large amount of white liquid gushed out from Ichigo's body, directly blocking Byakuya's elbow strike. The Senbonzakura and Kido on Ichigo's Ichigo shattered, and Ichigo, now free, casually punched Byakuya.

Byakuya was knocked back several steps by the sudden force, and then he saw a red spiritual pressure accumulating on Ichigo's face and shooting towards him.

It was Cero. Even after his fall, Ichigo Kurosaki didn't forget his fighting instincts. He unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks on Byakuya, the crimson light spraying directly into Byakuya's face.

In a moment of panic, Byakuya could only use the Senbonzakura in his hand to shield himself, using his own body to withstand the terrifying Cero.

The beam of Cero gradually faded, leaving a thick trail on the ground, without any trace of Byakuya.

Not far from the newly appeared marks, Byakuya was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily. Large amounts of blood were scattered on Byakuya's body, and his left hand was severely injured.

Pushed a distance by the Cero, Byakuya risked using the Utsusemi Cicada to dodge. No matter how fast the Utsusemi was, Byakuya's hand was still not able to completely evade the Cero's attack and was grazed by Cero.

Having temporarily found safety, Byakuya looked at Ichigo and discovered that Ichigo had completely transformed into a humanoid Hollow, his entire body covered in the white of a Hollow, with Hollow Hole in his chest, long orange hair draped over his shoulders, a mask on his face that completely obscured his human appearance, and two twisted bull horns growing from his forehead.

Judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from Ichigo now, he is completely a Hollow, without a trace of the Bleach. Ichigo has become a Hollow with a bull's head.

"Even I wouldn't dare to make a hole in Ichigo so easily. See, we're doomed now, aren't we?" Tsuna muttered under his breath.

In the World of the Living, Tsuna would occasionally participate in Ichigo's training. He used more slashing attacks than techniques with penetrating effects, lest he accidentally trigger Ichigo's passive ability to inflict penetrating wounds and unleash his full potential.

Ichigo let out a monstrous roar, and a terrifying spiritual pressure swept across the entire area once again. Ichigo's current aura intimidated everyone present.

Byakuya's face showed a solemn expression. Faced with the Hollow under such spiritual pressure, Byakuya did not believe that his Kido and Hakuda techniques would be effective against Ichigo. Judging from Ichigo's current unharmed condition, Ichigo also possessed the High-Speed Regeneration of a high-level Hollow.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the battle of spiritual pressure. He only had the power of the White Emperor Sword left to barely manage one move. He acted on his thought, for the glory of the Bleach would not allow such a monster to wreak havoc on the Seireitei.

A flurry of Senbonzakura rained down on Byakuya, Byakuya was preparing to unleash his ultimate attack.

At this Ichigo also made a move. He raised his palm, and the Tensa Zangetsu, which Byakuya had knocked away, was summoned by Ichigo and spun into Ichigo hand.

Ichigo, Tensa Zangetsu tightly, effortlessly swung his sword towards Byakuya, using no spiritual pressure whatsoever, only pure sword pressure rushing towards Byakuya.

Byakuya's hand holding Senbonzakura trembled slightly. Why did he lack the courage to fight against that sword the moment it seemed to be in his grasp?

Boom! Tsuna appeared in front of Byakuya, the white blade held diagonally in front of his chest, and a semi-transparent red spiritual pressure was released from the Zanpakuto, forming a semi-circular barrier in front of Tsuna.

The translucent red protective shield is composed of Storm Attribute flames. Tsuna uses the properties of the flames to decompose the pressure of Ichigo's sword strike back into Reishi.

"What are you thinking, Byakuya Kuchiki!"

Byakuya snapped out of his daze and realized that it was Tsuna who had blocked Ichigo's attack for him. A flush of anger rose to his face. The dignified captain of the 6th Division actually needed a Ryoka to save him.

"You..." Byakuya was about to ask why Tsuna had saved him when he heard Tsuna's explanation.

"If you don't want the Seireitei to be destroyed, Byakuya Kuchiki, you must prepare for the impact of the battle. Yoruichi, assist Byakuya!"

Tsuna spoke at lightning speed. Although he blocked Ichigo's sword strike, the land between him and Ichigo was completely cleaved into pieces by Ichigo's sword, demonstrating just how powerful Ichigo's attack was when he turned around.

"Yoruichi Shihōin!" Byakuya greeted her with an unfriendly expression upon seeing Yoruichi appear beside him.

"Listen to him, remove your Bankai, save your energy, you're not at your peak anymore."

Yoruichi wasn't joking with Byakuya at all. As long as Yoruichi Shihōin was serious, she still had credibility with Byakuya. Byakuya silently withdrew the annihilation order.

Ichigo had completely lost his mind; his mind was filled only with the desire to destroy. It didn't matter who was standing in front of him. Ichigo shattered the ground with one kick and charged towards Tsuna with pure power.

Looking at this bull- Ichigo, Tsuna had a headache. No matter how cautious he was, the responsibility of fighting bull- Ichigo still fell on his shoulders. Tsuna couldn't back down, because if either Byakuya or Yoruichi were to take Ichigo from Cero, their lives would be in real danger.

Facing the onslaught of Ichigo, Tsuna flipped his White Blade and plunged it directly into his left chest, shouting, "Bathe in lava, Tyrannosaurus!"
