Special Training (Part 2)

The head-on slash left Kurosaki Ichigo with nowhere to evade, and being hunted and pursued the entire time had filled him with rage.

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!!!!"

Ichigo roared, and the spiritual pressure around him erupted. No longer trying to dodge or flee, he charged straight at his opponent. Tensa Zangetsu's narrow blade swept diagonally upward from below toward the white figure in the sky, tracing a perfect, elegant arc through the air. Then, a pitch-black crescent-shaped slash shot forth!

One white, one black—two figures, one above and one below. Their robes billowed amid the violent turbulence of spiritual pressure as they collided in the blink of an eye.
