The two gale forces collided, instantly blowing away every last trace of stone chips and dust that had fallen from the Spirit King Palace earlier!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni watched the scene and said in astonishment, "Uchiha Hikaru's fighting techniques are actually this varied!!!"
His ash-gray face and blood-soaked body could not conceal his shock.
There was a saying in the Soul Society: there were no weakest Zanpakuto, only Shinigami who did not know how to use them!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had always used those words to educate lower-ranked Shinigami, yet today, he had witnessed a living example of them!
When the enormous sphere formed by "Fire Incinerates City Walls" had surrounded them earlier, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had only caught a hurried glimpse of it!
But he could see "Fire Refusal" clearly now! As the master of Ryujin Jakka, the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto, he had believed he had already developed all of its abilities.
Yet unexpectedly... one of Uchiha Hikaru's techniques had opened his eyes once more.
"Fire Refusal" had originally only been a defensive technique, but in Uchiha Hikaru's hands, it now possessed offensive power as well!
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni shook his head. "Unfortunately, I will not be able to witness the birth of a new ruler of the Three Realms."
His voice was filled with regret, and his body grew even more gaunt at that moment, like an old man with nothing but skin stretched over bones.
He was utterly suffused with the air of approaching death!
Kisuke Urahara had also defeated the members of Squad Zero by then. His mastery of kido completely surpassed theirs.
However, the wounds he had suffered from Haschwalth had yet to heal, and his battle against the Squad Zero members had left him even more severely injured.
He looked exceptionally drained.
"Captain Yamamoto."
