Everyone in the cave met their respective opponents. Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi met Tenken and Gonryōmaru, Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake. Each of them was in a hard fight with their own Zanpakutō, Ichigo Kurosaki faced off against the seriously injured Kazeshini, and at the same time, the battle between Shadow and Eroding Wolf also reached a deadlock.

On the top of this rocky cliff, there are not many shadows that Eroding Wolf can control. Shadow can't figure out why Eroding Wolf chooses the battle location here. All the advantages have disappeared, and under the sunlight, there are still great restrictions. Otherwise, the battle will not be as simple as a stalemate.

"Dang Dang!!!"

The knives formed by Zanpakutō and Shade have collided together countless times on the top of the mountain. The crisp sound can be heard endlessly, and bursts of sparks are generated between the friction of the blades.

"Haha!!!"

He laughed wildly and loudly, and the Reiatsu on his body rioted. Shadow bullied him forward and slashed down with the knife in his hand.

"Clang!"

Holding the chopped long knife, Eroding Wolf's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and he could feel that the arm holding the knife was numb.

A cruel and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Eroding Wolf took two steps back. It seems that in terms of strength alone, Shadow is still stronger. However, this doesn't matter. Strength is not what he is good at, right?

"Hey! What are you doing? Didn't you say you want to kill me? Then show your true skills! Eroding Wolf!"

Standing in front of Eroding Wolf, Shadow shouted in displeasure, stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood that flowed from the wound on his forehead to his eyes, and tightened the arm holding the knife.

"Humph!" He raised the corner of his mouth coldly, and the dark violence Reiatsu burst out instantly. Eroding Wolf raised his head and looked at Shadow; "Aren't you worried at all? That woman!"

"You are referring to Lady Yoruichi!" His eyes with a little bit of strange red light in the darkness narrowed a little, and Shadow laughed suddenly; "I have nothing to worry about, Lady Yoruichi is very strong!"

"It's you, why did you mention it to me! This is not your style!" Shadow looked at Eroding Wolf, who still had a cold face, and grinned; "Or, you are basically..."

"Stop being so verbose!"

"Ah!"

Looking at the furious and ferocious Eroding Wolf, Shadow laughed inexplicably, tore off the already tattered clothes on his body, tore off the bandage wrapped around his chest and tied it tightly to his wrist.

Licking the corners of his chapped mouth, Shadow revealed some sharp teeth, and the red in his eyes became more intense.

"Is it time to finally use all my strength? Haha! I'm... already excited!"

······

At the same time, Yoruichi Shihōin, who was blocked by Haineko and Tobiume in the cave, paused slightly, with a slight smile on his lips. Shadow will definitely be very happy in this battle!

"Good opportunity!"

While Yoruichi Shihōin's attention was not on them, Haineko waved his arms and commanded the smoke formed by Zanpakutō to rush away.

"Okay!"

But before Haineko could finish being happy, he was kicked out by Yoruichi Shihōin who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Bloom!"

Tobiume arrived next and threw a fireball at Yoruichi Shihōin, but it was easily dodged. Come to think of it, this thing can't do anything to Yoruichi Shihōin!

"You're really capable of doing this!" Haineko complained unhappily as he rubbed his kicked face; "Damn it!"

"Normal attacks won't work!"

Yoruichi Shihōin also sighed helplessly, and then, as if he felt something, his face condensed; "Did this Reiatsu...Muramasa appear in front of Ichigo!"

"But the way they fight is really weird!" Yoruichi Shihōin looked up and looked at Haineko and Tobiume who were still standing in front of them; "Although they did attack me, they should also understand that this level of attack can't hurt me at all. What's going on? Do you want to test it out!"

Just when Yoruichi Shihōin was thinking, a familiar Reiatsu burst out, that was... Ichigo Kurosaki.

"What is this Reiatsu!" Tobiume asked a little strangely.

"Who knows, it doesn't matter!" Haineko, who was a little nervous, looked at Yoruichi Shihōin in front of him; "Before this, I have to deal with the person in front of me first!"

"That's right!" Tobiume nodded.

"The premise is that you really want to deal with me!" Yoruichi Shihōin frowned and whispered.

"It's quite eloquent! Mow down!"

Just when Haineko and Tobiume joined forces to attack again, they found an opening, and Yoruichi Shihōin passed them and ran inside.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Hmph! Hadō #31·Shakkahō!"

"Bloom!"

A huge fireball was emitted from Yoruichi Shihōin's hand, heading straight towards Haineko who was chasing after him. Tobiume took this opportunity to smash the cave wall in front of Yoruichi Shihōin, and the falling stones blocked the way forward.

"As expected!" Without any surprise, Yoruichi Shihōin's mouth showed a smile; "Your purpose from the beginning was not to kill us, but to contain us and prevent us from moving forward. This is your real purpose!"

"Hmph!"

"Hadō fifty-eight·Tenran!"

"Bakudō Thirty·Three-Point Restraint!"

The two Kido, coupled with the super fast speed and Hakuda, Yoruichi Shihōin, easily fixed Haineko and Tobiume on the stone wall.

"What are you doing!"

"······"

Ignoring the shouting Haineko, Yoruichi Shihōin looked at the blocked hole, with a solemn look on his wheat-colored face.

"The purpose of this group of people is to separate us from Ichigo. This is clear. However, why did they choose Ichigo! Judging from Reiatsu, Muramasa's attack didn't seem to be about killing Ichigo, but rather it seemed like he was waiting for something. If Muramasa did it deliberately with a motive, then his real purpose was... ah! Oops!"

Suddenly remembering something, Yoruichi Shihōin rushed over immediately. At the same time, there were Jūshirō Ukitake and Shunsui Kyōraku who reacted. As for the guy Kenpachi Zaraki, he was having a happy fight with Tenken. He probably wouldn't leave even if he understood!

"Crescent Moon······"

"Stop, Ichigo!"

"······Tian Chong!"

"Are you late?"

Seeing the huge sweeping power hit the barrier sealing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto under the pull of Muramasa, biting his lip, Yoruichi Shihōin clenched his fist fiercely, and looked at Ichigo Kurosaki who was breathing heavily at this time, and sighed helplessly.

"The barrier is..."

Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake also arrived at the right time. The three Yoruichi Shihōin looked at the broken barrier not far away in surprise, and they all shook their heads with solemn expressions.

Immediately, there was a sound of "Bang!", the barrier immediately shattered, and Muramasa standing on the edge stretched out his hand...

"That's what happened!" Jūshirō Ukitake looked at Shunsui Kyōraku.

"What! It's just inexplicable!" Ichigo Kurosaki, who was full of confusion, looked at Yoruichi Shihōin next to him.

"The purpose of Muramasa is to lure you to use Getsuga Tenshō!" Yoruichi Shihōin replied.

"What did you say!"

"He seems to be integrating your power into his own to create explosiveness!"

"Then I plan to use it to destroy teacher Genryūsai's barrier!" Jūshirō Ukitake said; "That's it!"

"Destroy!" Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Jūshirō Ukitake in surprise; "Isn't that barrier set up by Muramasa!"

"It seems that we all have a serious misunderstanding, really!" Yoruichi Shihōin patted his forehead with a headache.

"But, if this is the case, if you want to destroy the barrier, why don't Mr. Shadow's Zanpakutō, and that Eroding Wolf that you say is so strong, not do it, but ask us!" Ichigo Kurosaki still doesn't understand.

"No!" Yoruichi Shihōin shook his head and said solemnly, "I think it's not that Muramasa doesn't want Eroding Wolf to destroy the barrier, but that Muramasa simply can't command Eroding Wolf to do such a thing!"

"That's right!" Muramasa laughed loudly; "You're absolutely right, that bastard Eroding Wolf refused to help me destroy the barrier no matter what. Thanks to me for liberating him, not only did he not obey my orders, but he also opposed me everywhere. If he hadn't been useful, I would have..."

"Stop talking those big words, you just can't do anything with Eroding Wolf, right!" Yoruichi Shihōin said with a sneer; "Besides, I think the condition for you to free Eroding Wolf was probably because of Shadow!"

"You never had the idea of using Shadow to destroy the barrier from the beginning. Although Shadow is very strong, as time goes by, your little tricks won't be able to hide even from us, so there is no need to mention Shadow at all. So, you just planned to use Eroding Wolf to contain Shadow, right?"

"Yes, you are absolutely right!" Muramasa looked at Yoruichi Shihōin; "You are indeed one of the legends from a hundred years ago. You are all so smart, so I specially chose Ichigo Kurosaki!"

"Are you saying that because I'm stupid?" Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Muramasa with veins on his head.

"Hey! Ichigo!" Jūshirō Ukitake smiled helplessly.

"It seems you have all fallen into the trap!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto stood up and said in a low tone.

"Teacher!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Jūshirō Ukitake looked at Shunpo next to him and shouted in embarrassment.

"His purpose is to read my spiritual world!" Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said.

"Spiritual world!" Ichigo Kurosaki remembered the time when Muramasa invaded his heart; "Did that Muramasa guy invade your heart, old man!"

"Everything is a script directed by you just for this moment!" Jūshirō Ukitake said sharply.

"As expected of Captain-class and another Bleach, he has a very strong understanding ability!" Muramasa laughed; "Yes, my purpose is to read the memory of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto sleeping in the abyss. To do this, I must invade He had to enter his spiritual world, but as soon as I appeared, the old guy set up a barrier to block himself from the surrounding space, preventing me from intervening at the cost of losing his self-awareness. Inner World I had expected this, and the reason why I let you Bleach's Zanpakutō materialized and plunged Soul Society into chaos, all in order to study countermeasures during this period to destroy the barrier of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and let all Bleach and Zanpakutō are convinced that I am the one who launched Zanpakutō Rebellion and that I put Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto under house arrest, and then force you to calm down the storm and rescue Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto!"

"How... how could it be!"

"Everything is just as I planned!" Looking at the wide-eyed Ichigo Kurosaki and Muramasa in front of them who couldn't imagine it at all, the corners of their mouths curled up; "Thank you so much, Bleachs, and you, Ichigo Kurosaki!"

"You bastard..."

"What's going on!" Katen Kyōkotsu asked; "Our purpose is just to confuse them, are you ordering us for your own sake?"

"I said that, is there a problem?" Muramasa said disdainfully.

"The problem is serious. Now that everything has been revealed, we will no longer obey your orders!"

"Are you lying to us!"

"Too cunning, you big liar!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Calm down!"

"Zanpakutōs are you starting to fight inside?"

Looking at the two captains Zanpakutō Katen Kyōkotsu and Sōgyo no Kotowari who were persuading him, Ichigo Kurosaki curled his lips helplessly.

"Sorry, I have to take the first step. I don't intend to continue chatting with you!" Muramasa sneered and turned around; "You can just do what you want!"

"Then we won't be polite!"

"Ah!"

Immediately, the sky filled with fire, lighting up the dark cave, and instantly broke Katen Kyōkotsu and Sōgyo no Kotowari.

"What!"

"This flame is..."

"Ryūjin Jakka!!!"

Known as Soul Society, the oldest and most powerful fire system Zanpakutō, Ryūjin Jakka······
