Left with no choice, Uchiha Hikaru used Geppo to leave the spot.
He landed atop the wall.
"You're far more capable than my own disciple," Uchiha Hikaru said with a light chuckle.
Kurosaki Ichigo panted heavily, his face showing even greater terror than before!!!
This was far too terrifying. After using up so much stamina, all I could do was force him away???
Kurosaki Ichigo swallowed.
"Ichigo!!!" Kuchiki Rukia's voice suddenly rang out from afar.
Kurosaki Ichigo was still terrified by Uchiha Hikaru's formidable strength when he suddenly heard Kuchiki Rukia calling for him.
He glanced at Uchiha Hikaru, a ruthless gleam flashing in his eyes as he abandoned him and left.
He ran straight in the direction Kuchiki Rukia had gone earlier.
Upon hearing the cry, Uchiha Hikaru's heart skipped a beat. He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
He shot to his feet and vanished from the spot with a whoosh, moving no slower than Kurosaki Ichigo.
But Uchiha Hikaru still had roughly a third of his power left within the Soul-Conduit Body.
If all of that remaining third returned to him, then without Hollowfication, Kurosaki Ichigo likely would not be able to withstand even a single move from Uchiha Hikaru.
The wind howled past his ears, while the frantic flapping of his Shinigami uniform billowing in the wind filled Uchiha Hikaru's ears.
Before long, Uchiha Hikaru had arrived where Kuchiki Rukia was.
A passage leading to the Soul Society stood wide open, white light shining from within and falling upon Kuchiki Rukia, who lay on the ground.
Uchiha Hikaru had barely arrived when he saw Kuchiki Rukia on the ground and hurried over.
He picked her up, only to feel warmth on his hands. Looking down, he saw a massive wound stretching from her upper shoulder blade
