A Quincy Inheriting the Strength of His Elders

"Alright, the attack is over, don't block the way."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri slapped the battered and bruised Nemu Kurotsuchi to the ground by the roadside, completely ignoring her Nemu Kurotsuchi in pain, and extended his left hand directly towards Uryū.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's left arm suddenly extended, attacking Uryū like a snake. Uryū quickly dodged to the side and drew his Soul Cutter to sever Kurotsuchi Mayuri's strange arm.

Despite his defeat, Kurotsuchi Mayuri remained unfazed. He calmly removed the severed hand, injected it with a Flesh Supplement, and his left hand quickly regenerated.

"You have some strength," Kurotsuchi Mayuri commented indifferently, then turned to look at Nemu Kurotsuchi lying on the ground. "How long are you going to lie there? Go and catch them!"

Uryū could hardly believe what he was seeing. Nemu Kurotsuchi Mayuri was not only yelling at Nemu Kurotsuchi, but also kicking her repeatedly, making the already injured Nemu Kurotsuchi even more covered in blood.

After Kurotsuchi Mayuri urged her on, Nemu Kurotsuchi struggled to her feet, forcefully rubbing her body with both hands to crush the Reishi arrows that were stuck in her body and hindering her movement. After vomiting a lot of blood, Nemu Kurotsuchi staggered towards Uryū, her arms outstretched, as if she wanted to grab Uryū.

"Why did you do this? You're already seriously injured, there's no need for you to fight anymore!" Uryū couldn't help but say to Nemu Kurotsuchi.

Nemu Kurotsuchi completely ignored Uryū's words. With each step she took, she spilled a lot of blood, muttering incantations as she gradually approached Uryū.

"To carry out Lord Mayuri's orders..."

Seeing Nemu Kurotsuchi's pitiful state, Uryū couldn't understand why the more she moved, the worse Nemu Kurotsuchi injuries became. Since that was the case, he decided to make sure Nemu Kurotsuchi couldn't move.

Uryū easily dodged Nemu Kurotsuchi Nemu Kurotsuchi's harmless attack and fired two arrows at her. The two Spirit Bow and Arrows pierced through Nemu Kurotsuchi 'Nemu Kurotsuchi forearms, carrying her through the air and embedding themselves in a nearby wall.

Nemu Kurotsuchi's body floated slightly in the air, her arms restrained. This time, Nemu Kurotsuchi had no way to struggle and could only let herself turn into a human-shaped cross.

"How kind you are, Quincy." Kurotsuchi Mayuri's voice rang out behind Uryū. Taking advantage of Uryū's attention being focused on Nemu Kurotsuchi, Kurotsuchi Mayuri had already slipped to Uryū's side and unleashed his Uryū Zanpakuto slash at him.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Zanpakuto is called Pikachū Jizō. After its Shikai, it becomes a golden sword with three forked, twisted blades. At the base of the blade is a baby-like face, which looks extremely eerie.

This Zanpakuto contains biological toxins. As long as it hits an enemy, it can use the toxins to immobilize the enemy. This is Kurotsuchi Mayuri's most familiar fighting style: let Nemu Kurotsuchi distract the enemy, and then take the opportunity to strike the enemy. Once the toxin enters the body, Kurotsuchi Mayuri can basically win.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri had exactly this plan in mind, and he slashed at Uryū's back. To his surprise, the Pikachū Jizō made a crisp sound as it struck Uryū's body. Some blue, tree-like Reishi patterns blocked Kurotsuchi Mayuri's attack, preventing Uryū from being injured. The Pikachū Jizō's poison was thus rendered useless.

Uryū turned and fired an arrow, Kurotsuchi Mayuri back. Kurotsuchi Mayuri looked at the Reishi particle pattern on Uryū's neck with interest and exclaimed, "Interesting. I almost forgot that Quincy have this kind of ability, called Blut, right?"

Uryū was using one of the Quincy's abilities, the Blut Vene, which is an ability to inject Reishi into the blood vessels, greatly enhancing the body's defense. In contrast, there is the Blut Vene, which allows the Quincy's body to unleash powerful destructive force. The two Blut cannot be used at the same time.

Blut is an innate ability of pure- Quincy. This ancient Quincy ability has been deciphered by Uryū's grandfather, and under Ryūken's active guidance, Uryū has also learned the Blut ability.

"You know about Blut?" Uryū asked.

"This outdated ability isn't a secret. If your Zanpakuto can't break through your body, then what are you going to do?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri raised his Zanpakuto and said in a strange, soft voice, "Bankai!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Zanpakuto transformed into a giant insect, whose appearance instantly shattered the entire street. Its head resembled a golden infant, looking quite bizarre.

"Golden Pikachū Jizō".

The moment the Golden Pikachū Jizō appeared, a cloud of purple poisonous mist spewed from its mouth, spreading towards Uryū.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's research told him that the Blut Vene could increase the Quincy's defensive capabilities, but it didn't mean it could defend against these invading poisonous mists. As long as the poisonous mist entered the body, Uryū would still be defeated.

It's a pity that he didn't share many of his research findings on Quincy with the Squad 12. Otherwise, Kurotsuchi Mayuri wouldn't mind conducting further research on Uryū to explore the effectiveness of his findings in breaking Quincy abilities.

At this moment, Kurotsuchi Mayuri realized that Uryū's earlier arrow was intended to keep him away from the Squad 12. This action made Kurotsuchi Mayuri somewhat interested in Uryū, the Quincy.

Seeing Kurotsuchi Mayuri use his Bankai, Uryū calmly took out a blue and white glove and put it on. He was not flustered at all. Uryū believed that he would not lose, having inherited the fighting skills taught by his father, the abilities given by his mother, and the equipment left by his grandfather.

As soon as the gloves were put on, the Reishi around Uryū began to spread in a high concentration. Under such conditions, it would be difficult for an ordinary Quincy to even pick up a bow and arrow, but fortunately, Uryū had already adapted to it.

The high concentration of Reishi not only provides physical benefits, but also grants Uryū powerful offensive capabilities. If Uryū were to use Hirenkyaku in this state, Nemu Kurotsuchi would have no chance to take any further action.

"Oh? This is a power I've never seen before. I agree to make you my new Quincy test subject." Kurotsuchi Mayuri remained calm, as if he were stating a very ordinary matter.

"Experiment, do you have no reverence for life?" A cold glint flashed in Uryū's eyes.

"Contributing to my experimental results is the greatest value of your lives. Die, Golden Pikachū Jizō!" Kurotsuchi Mayuri drove Golden Pikachū Jizō to cover Uryū with poison.

Uryū shot an Kurotsuchi Mayuri, the Reishi arrow deflecting the poison's coverage and buying himself some space.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri threw out another flesh-exploding bomb, directly detonating Uryū's Reishi arrow. This was the result of Kurotsuchi Mayuri bombs placed inside Bleach bodies. After detonation, both Bleach and the bomb would be blown to pieces. The defense he had previously created with this flesh-exploding bomb was based on the same principle.

Having gained some space, Uryū yanked off the spikes binding the Sanrei Glove Sanrei Glove, thus freeing them from their grip.

The moment the Sanrei Glove were removed, all the Reishi Reishi around Uryū began to surge violently, rushing towards him. These Reishi were forcibly absorbed by Uryū, and a wing composed of Reishi gradually took shape on Uryū's back.

As the Reishi in the surrounding air were drained, the surrounding buildings began to collapse and the Reishi converged behind Uryū. This was the power of the Reishi particles, the ability to forcibly control the Reishi as one's own power.

Uryū's Reishi is quite domineering; it even transforms the poison surrounding him into Reishi for his own use.

Gradually, the single wing on Uryū's back took shape. This was the final form of the Quincy that Uryū had mastered. This was a form that Sōken Ishida had researched. For this purpose, he had specially developed the Sanrei Glove, an auxiliary equipment, to allow the Quincy to forcibly master this power.

However, the Sanrei Glove have a drawback: once the gloves are removed, the Quincy will lose all their abilities. But this drawback is not a problem for Uryū's mother. In fact, it can be said that the Sanrei Glove were designed by Sōken specifically for Hae Katagiri, so that Hae Katagiri could master this power.

It can be said that Hae Katagiri, who possesses the Sanrei Glove, is the strongest member of the Ishida Residence, without exception.

Uryū once fought Tsuna in this state, which Tsuna called Quasi-Vollständig. Sōken Ishida, Quincy from the old era, actually caught up with the modern Vollständig ability of the Wandenreich with his own strength.

Unfortunately, this kind of Vollständig has obvious flaws and is not as good as the perfected Vollständig. First, Quincy cannot activate it at will, and second, it does not have the power of Saint Letters.

The first method was perfected by Sōken Ishida using the ability of Hae Katagiri, but he died before he could even scratch the surface of the second method, thus failing to provide the Ishida Residence with a way to obtain the Saint Letters.

Back to the battlefield, upon seeing Uryū in his Quasi-Vollständig state, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's eyes showed a serious expression for the first time. Just as he was about to do something, a blue light flashed above his head, Golden Pikachū Jizō on his head was directly annihilated by Uryū's arrow, turning into several broken Asauchi in front of Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

With a single strike, Uryū pierced through the Golden Pikachū Jizō with an arrow, breaking Kurotsuchi Mayuri's Bankai.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's expression turned somewhat grim, but he didn't dwell on it too much. He turned around and ran towards the Squad 12. Only by obtaining his research results from the Squad 12 could he possibly turn the tide.

But Uryū wasn't about to let Kurotsuchi Mayuri off so easily. Another arrow grazed Kurotsuchi Mayuri's right side, and the aftershock of the Spirit Bow and Arrows engulfed Kurotsuchi Mayuri's right side, Kurotsuchi Mayuri to roll to the ground.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not give up. As he rolled, he pulled out a scythe-like weapon from his left ear and threw it at Uryū. He then immediately took out Flesh Supplement to repair his damaged body.

Uryū casually used Soul Cutter to deflect Kurotsuchi Mayuri's hidden weapon. He then drew out three Soul Cutter and shot them into the sky. The three Soul Cutter fell in perfect parabolic arcs, landing in a triangle around Kurotsuchi Mayuri. The high concentration of Reishi attracted each other, and a triangular barrier sealed Kurotsuchi Mayuri within it.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri immediately took out several flesh-exploding bombs and threw them at the barrier, but these bombs only tore open a palm-sized gap in the barrier, which was soon repaired by Reishi.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri was somewhat annoyed. If he still had his Zanpakuto Zanpakuto, he could have used it to create liquid from the flesh and escape through these gaps, but his Zanpakuto had just been destroyed by Uryū.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri turned his head to look, and Uryū drew his bow and arrow at him again. The arrow, imbued with a high concentration of Reishi, contained terrifying destructive power. With another arrow, half of Kurotsuchi Mayuri Kurotsuchi's body was destroyed by Uryū once more. He was like meat on a chopping board, at Uryū's mercy.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri, no longer needing the Flesh Supplement, said, "What, do you not want to kill me, or are you afraid to? Is this your Quincy's revenge?"

Uryū's hand trembled slightly as he pointed the arrow toward Kurotsuchi Mayuri's head. If Tsuna hadn't reminded him not to kill him, he would have Kurotsuchi Mayuri with a single arrow.

Seemingly seeing through Uryū's thoughts, Kurotsuchi Mayuri continued to laugh wildly, each laugh severely stimulating Uryū's mind.

Kill him, kill this guy.

Murderous intent continued to build in Uryū's heart, and he gradually made up his mind to kill Kurotsuchi Mayuri!

Just then, a figure stood between Uryū and Kurotsuchi Mayuri. It was Nemu Kurotsuchi. Her hands hung limply at her sides, and she stood with great difficulty. Even though her legs were trembling, she was only trying to block Kurotsuchi Mayuri a little more.

"What's the point of following someone like that? He's just using you as a tool. Get out of the way!" Uryū roared. In just that short time, he had already realized that Kurotsuchi Mayuri didn't treat Nemu Kurotsuchi as a human being.

"Everything I have belongs to Lord Mayuri. I will not give way," Nemu Kurotsuchi expressed her thoughts haltingly.

"Nemu..." Kurotsuchi Mayuri murmured, a strange emotion beginning to sprout in his heart. Was he really that important to Nemu Kurotsuchi?

Uryū's hands trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't understand why someone like Kurotsuchi Mayuri would be willing to follow him, but when he met Nemu Kurotsuchi's lifeless yet resolute eyes, Uryū was unsure whether he should kill Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

In this state of hesitation, Kurotsuchi Mayuri loosened his grip on the bowstring, and the Spirit Bow and Arrows bypassed Nemu Kurotsuchi at an odd angle, still heading towards Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
