Amakusa took a deep breath and suppressed his fear, but his voice was already exposed. His voice was involuntarily amplified due to fear to muster up his courage. "Zanpakutō Liberation? I can do it too!"
"Get restless! Sakuya Hyakki!"
Amakusa's Zanpakutō blade turned into ink black, gray mist seeped out from the blade and spread along the ground.
The figures of ghosts and monsters condensed in the fog, including disheveled human figures, beasts with twisted limbs, and black fog masses that were constantly changing shapes. They made sounds between whimpering and low laughter, and moved slowly in the gray fog, increasing in number.
However, Obana just stood there, turning his wrist slightly, and water flowed out of the blade of Pure Spring, turning into fine mist, and silently mixed into the gray mist of Amakusa
Pure Spring, on the surface it controls water flow, but its real ability is to neutralize illusions. Abnormal conditions touched by water flow will be weakened and decomposed.
The water mist penetrated into every inch of the gray fog, and the snarling ghosts began to become transparent under the erosion of the water mist. Most of the phantoms created by Amakusa were pure visual illusions, and only a few were composed of Reishi Entities were mixed among them, and there was also a wave of Reiatsu running in circles around Obana. That was probably Amakusa himself, using illusions to hide his figure and trying to find an angle to attack.
Obana stood motionless and said in a calm tone, "Don't think that just because you learn Zanpakutō Shikai, you think you have entered the ranks of the strong."
This sentence is like a thorn piercing Amakusa's heart
What does it mean to be Zanpakutō Shikai? What does it mean to not be a strong person? His Sakuya Hyakki has never met an opponent in Rukongai. Those four Soul Reaper were beaten by him so much that they cowered in the mine and dared not come out. Now this person actually says that he is not a strong person?
Amakusa gritted his teeth and urged all the phantoms to rush towards Obana at the same time. Dozens of ghosts came from all directions, baring their teeth and claws, and their roars were deafening. He mixed several entities into the phantom, trying to use the illusion to cover the real attack.
Obana was completely indifferent to the ghosts coming towards him. The disheveled humanoid passed through his body, and the beast with twisted limbs rushed past him. He just raised his right hand, condensed a water marble between his fingers, and flicked it at one of the ghosts.
The water marble accurately hit the ghost's torso, exploding at the moment of contact. The ghost let out a short scream as the water splashed around, turning into Reishi fragments and dissipating in the air. It was an entity.
Amakusa was stunned.
His invincible Zanpakutō, the illusion he was most proud of, had never encountered an opponent who could see through Rukongai, and it was useless in front of this person. For the first time, he felt a panic that he had never experienced before.
That is the naked feeling of powerlessness after one's own trump card is completely seen through.
Where Amakusa originally stood, Amakusa is still standing, but which one is fake
Obana raised his hand and pointed it at Amakusa, who was stunned in place, still trying to understand why he missed and got mixed into the phantom. A water marble condensed on his fingertips and flicked out.
The water marble cut through the gray fog and hit Amakusa's chest accurately. It exploded at the moment of contact, and the impact knocked him away.
Amakusa's back hit a protruding rock, and with a groan, his body slid to the ground along the rock wall, and he lay on his back on the gravel ground. The clothes on his chest were blown to pieces by the water bullets, revealing the bruised and purple skin underneath. He raised his upper body slightly, looking at Obana with horror on his face, his lips moved, and he squeezed out a few words from the depths of his throat. "How is it possible..."
The gray fog began to dissipate under the erosion of the water mist, and the ghosts turned into nothingness one after another.
The private soldiers finally saw the real situation on the battlefield. Their leader was lying on the ground, but the Soul Reaper captain was still standing there, not even moving. The phantoms around him gradually disappeared. As Amakusa's power became unstable, the gray fog began to fade.
Obana watched the fake Amakusa figure disappear in the air, and slowly turned around to face the real Amakusa who was lying on the ground struggling to stand up. "I'll let you see what real power is, and let you die a worthy death."
A water curtain barrier appeared around, and then Pure Spring turned into water flow in the hands of Obana. The water condensed into a shape in the air, translucent, huge, like the outline of a portrait.
The outline changed from blur to clear. It was a woman with tied hair, her eyes closed and smiling, with a red dot on her forehead. She held a clean bottle in the palm of one hand, and gently caressed the clean bottle with her fingers on the other hand.
"Bankai"
"Compassionate Pure Water Guanyin"
The terrifying Reiatsu crushed outward like a tsunami the moment Bankai was completed.
The surrounding private soldiers were out of breath under the pressure of this Reiatsu. Some people simply collapsed to the ground with their heads in their hands and trembled all over. Some people wanted to escape but found that their legs were no longer in control. Some people fell to their knees and trembled with teeth. He no longer had the courage to raise his head. Amakusa's body was pressed to the ground. He wanted to move, but the Reiatsu was pressing on him like a mountain, making every breath he took extremely difficult.
Bankai's Reiatsu is so terrifying and difficult to hide. Soul Reaper and the noble followers in the mine immediately felt the Obana's Reiatsu
"It's Captain Obana!" Tanabe covered the wound on his shoulder, his face showing his first smile since he was trapped. The three colleagues behind him also stood up straight, and the light rekindled in their eyes.
The aristocratic entourage stood up and cheered equally excitedly
"The captain is here, we are saved." Tanabe leaned against the rock wall, and the nerves that had been tense for several days finally relaxed for a moment.
The water curtain barrier spreads out with the Guanyin statue as the center, covering the entire open space of the mine.
Within the water curtain barrier of Compassionate Pure Water Guanyin, all illusions will be greatly weakened, and illusions that are not strong enough will be directly transformed into meaningless Reishi special effects, just like Amakusa's Sakuya Hyakki, which cannot maintain even the most basic visual deception.
Water gushes out from Obana's feet and turns into fist-sized water balls, suspended around his upper body and slowly rotating.
Obana's Reiatsu perception swept across the entire scene. Those private soldiers did not run away, perhaps because their legs were weak and could not run, or perhaps because their loyalty to Amakusa prevented them from leaving their leader and escaping alone. Whatever the reason, they are still here.
"Aren't you leaving?" Obana whispered, Obana has already given them a chance, if they don't fight for it, then...
He raised his right hand and waved lightly.
The water balls surrounding him exploded at the same time, turning into countless Thousand Water Needles and shooting out in all directions. The water needles were as thin as cow hairs, shining with an icy cold light under the moonlight, and poured down densely with the sound of breaking through the air.
The scene covered by the Thousand Water Needles attack is horrific.
