Ichigo originally wanted to continue moving to the periphery of Karakura Town.
As long as he leads these two Reigai to an uninhabited place, he can completely let go.
However, before he could cross the tall building in front of him, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.
"Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"
Boom!
The terrifying cold air suddenly erupted in the night sky.
Large areas of hoarfrost spread around Tōshirō Hitsugaya, and even the moisture in the air was frozen into tiny ice crystals.
A pair of huge ice wings unfolded from his back, three purple ice flowers floated behind him, and Hyōrinmaru's blade was completely wrapped in ice.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya waved his ice wings, and his speed surged instantly.
"Flock of Birds: Ice Pillars!"
Ichigo The sound of ice cubes condensing came one after another from behind.
Immediately afterwards, dense icicles pierced the air and shot toward him from all directions.
Ichigo looked back and his face suddenly became ugly.
Do you want to be so cruel?
He was holding someone in his arms, and he came up and opened Bankai.
He hugged Nozomi Kujō tightly, stepped on his feet one after another, and quickly dodged between the ice picks.
Whoosh whoosh!
Sharp ice picks passed over his body and penetrated into the houses and streets below.
Several of the ice picks suddenly changed direction in mid-air, blocking Ichigo's path forward.
Ichigo could only forcefully twist his body and use his back to protect Nozomi Kujō in his arms.
Poof!
Two ice picks stabbed his left arm and right arm respectively.
The blood instantly dyed the black sleeves red, and the biting cold air spread along the wound into the body.
Ichigo's hands suddenly loosened.
Nozomi Kujō's body immediately slid down.
Ichigo endured the severe pain in his arm and hugged her tightly before she fell completely.
So risky.
He almost threw this woman from a height of dozens of meters.
She raised her head and looked at Ichigo's arms stained red with blood, her red eyes trembling slightly.
In order to prevent the ice pick from hurting her, this idiot just used his body to block it.
"Put me down."
Her voice was very soft, without the usual thorny tone.
Ichigo thought he heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
"I asked you to put me down!"
Nozomi Kujō grabbed his clothes, his eyes were slightly red.
"Their target is only me. As long as you hand me over, they will not continue to hunt you."
"Leave me alone."
She bit her lips, her voice filled with pleading.
"You're really going to die."
"We have only known each other for less than a day. There is no need for you to risk your life to save me."
Ichigo glanced down at her.
No more thorns? It seems that I can still speak normally!
"I already promised to protect you."
Ichigo looked forward, his tone unwavering.
"What I promised will definitely be done."
"But there are two of them, and they both have the power of Captain-level!"
"So what?"
Ichigo A confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I believe I can do it."
Nozomi Kujō looked at him blankly.
Why on earth can this big idiot be so confident?
Obviously his arm was still bleeding, and the enemy behind him was getting closer and closer.
But for some reason, after hearing these words, the fear in her heart actually eased a bit.
The sound of ice wings vibrating came again from behind.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya, which has entered the Bankai state, is rapidly approaching, and the distance between the two sides has shortened to less than a hundred meters.
The sky full of Senbonzakura followed closely behind him, gradually blocking the direction in which Ichigo could retreat.
Continuing to flee will only draw more residents into the fight.
Ichigo lowered his head and scanned the surroundings, his eyes quickly fixed on a park not far away.
There is not a single person in the park, there is a wide grassland in the middle, and there are no dense residential buildings around it.
Although it is still a little short of the ideal battlefield, there is no other choice now.
"Hurry up!"
Ichigo reminded him, his body suddenly changed direction and swooped down towards the park.
"Who wants to obey your orders?"
Nozomi Kujō still refused to give in, but his hands grasped his Shihakushō very honestly.
Bang!
Ichigo fell in the park.
He quickly placed Nozomi Kujō on the bench and pulled out the two ice picks from his arms.
Blood gushed out from the wound, but was quickly stopped by Reiatsu.
"Stay here and don't move."
"Can you really do this alone?"
"I said it all, believe me."
Ichigo carried Zangetsu on his shoulders and walked towards the center of the park without looking back.
Nozomi Kujō looked at his back, opened his mouth, and ultimately did not stop him.
All she can do now is not to become a burden to him.
Ichigo walked to the open grass and stopped slowly.
This place is far away from ordinary people, and there are no buildings to worry about.
Next, he could finally let go.
In less than two seconds, two strands of Captain-level Reiatsu fell from the sky.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya is suspended in the sky above Stadium, its huge ice wings slowly flap, and countless ice crystals continue to fall from the wing tips.
Byakuya Kuchiki stepped on Shunpo and appeared beside him, and Cherry Blossom Blades filled the sky behind him, forming a dangerous wave.
The two of them were condescending, their cold gazes falling on Ichigo at the same time.
"There are troublesome people around the mission target."
Tōshirō Hitsugaya Lift up Hyōrinmaru with the blade pointing straight down.
"It is recommended to resolve it as a priority."
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Ichigo calmly.
"That's fine."
"Deal with this annoying guy first, and then recover the mission objectives."
He let go of the Senbonzakura in his hand and let the incomplete handle of the knife fall vertically to the ground.
The moment the knife handle fell, the grass rippled like water.
Two rows of huge blades slowly rose from the ground, and the cold light illuminated the entire Stadium.
"Bankai."
Byakuya Kuchiki put his hands down by his sides, his voice without any ripples.
"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."
The next moment, countless giant blades completely dissipated, turning into an overwhelming Cherry Blossom Blades.
The entire night sky was simultaneously occupied by frost and cherry blossoms.
Two strands of Bankai Reiatsu crashed down, and the Stadium turf instantly collapsed downwards.
Nozomi Kujō was so suppressed that his breathing stagnated, and he subconsciously clenched Asauchi in his hand.
Ichigo stood in the center of the storm, looking up at the two Reigai who were releasing their power without reservation.
Since the opponent had used all his strength from the beginning, there was no need for him to continue testing.
Ichigo raised his right hand and grasped the handle of Zangetsu.
The huge Reiatsu spurted out from his body, and the pitch-black blade pointed straight at the two people in the air.
"Next, I won't hold back anymore."
"Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu!"
