Huh? I'm Fighting Yhwach? For Real? (4K)

The dark figure seemed to be out of touch with space, only to appear quietly afterward. A black longsword clashed fiercely with the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, their blades constantly gnawing at each other, sparking a series of intense flashes.

"Zangetsu..."

Although he had never seen it before, the moment he saw that face, Iori thought of that name, but Flash Step later he frowned.

"Yhwach?"

Clang!

As his spiritual pressure surged, Iori forcefully pushed his enemy away, and almost simultaneously, large, crimson fireballs appeared in front of him.

"The Way of Hadō— "

Fireballs with the power of small missiles struck Yhwach one after another, and the intense Kakkō engulfed it.

However, Iori did not stop there. She switched to holding the Ama-no-Murakumo no Kusanagi in both hands, and poured powerful spiritual pressure into it.

The dragon-slaying sword unleashed a torrent of Lightning Bolt, engulfing everything in front of Iori and sweeping across the entire street with undiminished power, leaving behind a staggering chasm.

Using multiple Kido and the Release of the Divine Sword in succession would have been enough to leave Captain-level Shinigami breathless, but Iori only needed to adjust her breathing before her spiritual pressure was quickly replenished.

"Zanpakuto? That doesn't seem quite right... Your weapon is quite interesting."

A calm voice sounded from behind. Iori narrowed his eyes, seemingly quite surprised, but he quickly composed himself and calmly turned around.

The "Yhwach" was completely untouched by dust, standing there calmly with a knife in his hand, looking at Iori with a playful smile.

Compared to the Yhwach in his memory, the person in front of him was almost identical in temperament and attire, but looked much younger, a handsome young man with black hair, red eyes, and a pale face.

That's right, it's extremely similar to the spirit of "Tensa Zangetsu," which is Yhwach in his youth!

"The Shinigami's Kido is different from the Quincy spell created by our ancestors. It cannot directly control Reishi and requires incantations to suggest to oneself. Although there are techniques to accelerate the release by abandoning chanting, the power should be greatly reduced."

"Your Kido defies the common sense of this world, and even in an environment of scarce Reishi, you were still able to repel me... This is something even the so-called Captains couldn't do."

"..."

Iori remained calm and did not respond.

"Not going to answer? It's disheartening that you're so wary of me on our first meeting."

As he spoke, Yhwach raised his cloak with his right hand, extending five slightly curved fingers from below, firmly gripping the suddenly appearing iron fist.

Yoruichi's pupils contracted sharply, never expecting that her sneak attack would be so easily neutralized.

"You seem a little impatient, little cat."

With a flick of Young Yhwach wrist, the black blade parted his cloak and stabbed towards Yoruichi's face—

"Clang!"

Iori made a flash attack, timely turning her blade to block the blow, and immediately countered.

Yoruichi didn't stand still either. She immediately activated Shunkō, gathering a high density of Kido power in her shoulders and unleashing explosive power from her limbs to launch a series of fierce attacks on her opponent.

Although the two had fought side by side before, this was the first time they had gone all out to fight the same person together, and Yhwach was forced to retreat when faced with this combination.

"It seems this won't be so easy to end!"

A powerful spiritual pressure erupted from the Young Yhwach, lightning crackled beneath his feet, and an array Reishi fluctuation rapidly unfolded.

"Sanctuary Hymn!"

A dazzling wall of light suddenly descended, enveloping the Young Yhwach's body. Iori and the other were also swallowed by the light, and then they felt a deadly threat coming from all directions.

"Not good!"

Thousands upon thousands of Reishi arrows flew towards the two, blocking all their escape routes!

The surrounding wall of light acted like some kind of barrier, firmly binding their bodies and preventing them from using Shunpo to leave, much like a sticky swamp.

Buzz!

Yoruichi unleashed a powerful punch, creating a whirlwind like a tornado. Her Kido power deflected nearly a hundred arrows, but before this wave could dissipate, another volley of arrows arrived, seemingly threatening to overwhelm her with sheer numbers.

She used the Binding Bakudō to defend herself, but she was overwhelmed by the endless rain of arrows after only two seconds.

"Splitting Void!"

With a casual gesture, Iori created an invisible spatial barrier behind Yoruichi, deflecting all the incoming arrows.

But in the next instant, an immense rain of arrows, impossible to measure precisely, completely engulfed him!

Unlike the shots fired by ordinary Quincy, each of these arrows possessed the power to penetrate the spiritual pressure defense of Vice-Captain- level officer, and their sheer number was terrifyingly "countless," crashing into Iori wave after wave, like a flood bursting its banks...

After an unknown amount of time, the Young Yhwach flew out from the Wall of Light, extending his left hand and pointing into the distance—

Buzz!

Without any medium or preparation, a large number of Reishi were gathered directly from the void and condensed into a radiant arrow at his fingertips.

"Lesser Holy Arrow!"

With a slight flick of his finger, he didn't shoot at Iori, who was shrouded in a rain of arrows of light, but instead changed direction and shot at an uninhabited place.

Boom!

Yoruichi's figure appeared in the trajectory of the arrow. Although her Shunpo technique was superb and she dodged the arrow attack, she was kicked away by the boy who arrived afterward.

"Greater Holy Arrow!"

The boy gathered a massive amount of Reishi onto an arc-shaped trajectory, forming a giant bow and arrow. He drew back the bowstring like a cross, aimed at Iori, and released an arrow of light powerful enough to shatter mountains!

--boom!!!

The scope and power of this explosion were unmatched even by high-level Hadō above number ninety. Half of the battlefield was distorted by the enormous Reiatsu fluctuation, and the ground cracked open with ravines as if countless giants had trampled over it.

This Quincy a striking resemblance to Yhwach, was clearly confident in his techniques, letting out a soft sigh, "It's over..."

However, just as he was about to turn and leave, the spiritual pressure that had been barely perceptible suddenly intensified, transforming into a whirlwind that swept across everything!

"Um?"

Yhwach stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise on his face, and stared at the figure emerging from the smoke-filled center of the explosion.

"I didn't expect... Was what I just hit an illusion?"

"Call..."

Iori held the already Shikai [Mirror Water] upside down. His Shinigami uniform was tattered, but there were no visible wounds. A divine mist swirled around him.

At this moment, he seems to be at his peak, even though he has just experienced a devastating blow!

Young Yhwach it very strange. Even if it was an illusion, it could only deceive the eyes, but Reiatsu fluctuation could not lie. He had indeed hit Iori just now... and he was completely unharmed? It was too incredible.

No one in this world can calmly receive his "Holy Arrow," that's for sure!

This means that Iori is hiding a secret... Perhaps, like him, Iori also inherited the bloodline of the Transcendent.

"I know there's a very young and skilled Shinigami, is that you?" Young Yhwach smiled slightly. "I originally thought that only Kyōraku Shunsui could pose a threat to me... It seems I underestimated the talent pool of Seireitei. Your name seems to be..."

"Iori Aizen, a member of the Imperial Guard of the commander-in-chief of the punitive expedition."

Iori calmly introduced herself, glanced at Yoruichi who was struggling to stand up in the distance, nodded slightly, and temporarily felt relieved.

Powerful... This enemy is far more powerful than the concept of a "captain." It is almost impossible for Iori to win, but there is no possibility of surrendering on this battlefield. He has no other choice.

For some reason, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, as if he were excited.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency, Holy Son... Alright, greetings over, it's time for a serious fight!"

Chapter 191: Huh? I'm beating Yhwach, really? (4K)

Fighting each other?

Although Iori said this, she was not confused at all. She hid her left hand behind her back and gave Yoruichi a few hand gestures. The brown-skinned beauty immediately realized what was going on and Shunpo to leave the place and hide behind a broken wall.

Using his thumb to pick up the blood from the corner of his mouth as ink, he rubbed his hands together and quickly drew incantations on his forearm—

[The Tenteikūra!]

"Um?"

The black-haired, red-eyed boy seemed to notice Iori and the other's subtle movements, but he didn't mind and maintained a calm expression, as if he wasn't fighting enemies on a battlefield, but rather enjoying the scenery in a garden.

"Break!"

The Ama-no-Murakumo, carrying a misty aura, and transformed into a majestic and fierce dragon that soared out, its roar piercing through the atmosphere.

The Quincy raised his black sword and walked straight towards the dragon-shaped energy. He simply held the blade in front of him and easily separated it. The surging wind pressure blew up his clothes but did not shake his figure in the slightest.

The Quincy strode forward, neither using the Flying Swallow Legs nor activating the "Blood Dress," but relying solely on pure physical strength to propel himself upstream like a solid reef, calmly arriving before Iori. His black sword slashed decisively downwards—

Clang!

Iori's body suddenly sank down, and all the muscles in her body were shaken by the transmitted force. She felt as if all the pores on her body opened up in Flash Step, as if she were a balloon being forcibly inflated.

This overwhelming force pierced through the body of the Grim Reaper, and the sword's pressure shattered the street dozens of meters behind him into pieces!

Bang!

With a gentle tremor, the black sword pressed down on the Ama -Ama-no-Murakumo, and with a flick of the wrist, it Flowing Water sliced along the blade toward Iori's wrist.

Buzz—!

The Dragon Eye Gem inlaid at the end of the sword hilt emitted a hazy blue light, and the accumulated spiritual pressure was transformed into the purest impact force and released at this moment, directly hitting the Quincy without any hindrance!

With a loud bang, a large amount of rubble scattered in all directions from the two people, easily piercing through the walls and wooden pillars like bullets from a sniper rifle, leaving a large, arc-shaped depression in the spot.

Call!

Call!

The air was compressed into translucent ripples that wrapped around the two of them. The Quincy and Iori, moving at high speed, carved sword marks on the ground. The aftershocks of their repeated clashes could easily destroy houses.

— Clang!

The young Quincy gathered his spiritual pressure and swung his sword again. The crescent-shaped Reishi arrows rubbed against the blade of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, finally crashing into the broken courtyard wall with Iori's body and disappearing from sight.

Is that all there is to it?

"Orochi—"

The raging torrent of water tore through the bricks and stones like sharp blades, and a swift figure rushed out, gripping a long sword tightly in both hands. The dazzling Lightning Bolt illuminated the young Quincy's rather interested expression.

Pack!

Compression!

Concentrating all the power that should be projected outward into the sword is like filling a magazine with gunpowder; swinging the sword is like pulling the trigger.

"Dotō!"

Transform the power to destroy a street into a deadly strike!

The black-haired, red-eyed Quincy prince smiled proudly and said, "Come on!"

The azure light flickered on the black blade; it was a flame born from the compression of Reishi density to the extreme, colliding with the thunderstorm along the trajectory of the Quincy blade!

Boom!!!

An extremely dense spiritual pressure erupted in an instant, and lightning and flame devoured each other, transforming into a blooming red lotus that enveloped an area of a hundred meters in radius, and finally transformed into a shock that was released into the sky!

Call--

A figure engulfed in flames was sent flying backward from the center of the explosion. A misty spray of water wrapped around the sword, then spread across the entire body, dispelling the intense heat that was scorching the body. It left a trail of black smoke in mid-air before finally landing awkwardly.

Call!

With a flick of his cloak, the young Quincy calmly emerged from the red lotus. He showed few signs of battle, except for a small flammable patch on Ikkaku of his cloak, which was extinguished by the strong wind.

The Holy Son glanced down at the cloak billowing black smoke, his expression calm, but when his red eyes fell on Iori, his expression became playful.

The young Grim Reaper, who looks only about sixteen years old, has lost his Shinigami uniform on his upper body, revealing well-defined but not cumbersome muscles reminiscent of a cheetah. With a serious expression, he kneels on the ground, supporting his body with his longsword.

Surprisingly, on the surface, he did not seem to have suffered any real harm.

"Unharmed... a wondrous body."

The Holy Son Shikai Iori. During the battle just now, he clearly sensed that Iori had been injured more than once, and even seriously injured!

Changes in aura and Reiatsu fluctuation cannot lie; the Holy Son was quite confident in his judgment.
