In the main text of " Shinigami the Unforgiven", Chapter 34, Getsuga Tenshō, he used the time it took for the old man to freeze, without letting Cang Du notice. He simply lifted his foot and landed as usual.
Then, the violent Reiatsu arrived like a sudden downpour on the sea, without any warning.
What?!
Cang Du turned around in astonishment. A flash of black and red light appeared on his blade, and a tearing pain shot through his chest. Before the blood could even splatter, he quickly used his Hirenkyaku to retreat.
Drops of blood splattered on the retreat path. Surprise crossed Cang Du's steely face. "What happened? Why aren't you dead? Why have your wounds healed?"
One question after another Cang Du completely bewildered.
Even if a human body dies and the spirit is resurrected, there should still be a corpse on the ground.
Ichigo Kurosaki did not answer. His eyes were no longer filled with anxiety or fear, but with unwavering determination. "It seems my blade can now wound you."
The blood on the ground was so vivid. Recalling what had been said earlier, Cang Du gritted his teeth in anger, unable to contain his rage. "You mere Shinigami, don't get cocky!"
Ichigo Kurosaki showed no intention of continuing the conversation, and with Shunpo burst of speed, he brought Zangetsu down with a fierce slash.
Cang Du immediately concentrated his Reiatsu on his right arm and swung it upwards, while simultaneously thrusting his left arm towards his chest. He refused to believe that another wound could heal.
There is absolutely no way that an unkillable person exists in this world!
" Getsuga Tenshō."
Ichigo Kurosaki's sword landed on Cang Du's right arm, and he unleashed Getsuga Tenshō at close range.
This is a technique that guy taught me.
boom!
A black and red semi-circular light rose up, the slash was so fierce that it even scorched and tore the air apart.
Scars appeared on Cang Du's dark body, and he was forced to use his Hirenkyaku to retreat.
"Ha, ha." Cang Du gasped for breath as soon as his feet touched the ground. The tranquil environment offered him no peace. Looking at his battered body, he roared, " Vollständig Second Form!"
Cang Du no longer wanted to think about how Ichigo Kurosaki healed his wounds, how he stood up, and how he became stronger.
His only thought was to use all his strength to completely crush that guy.
The once seemingly indestructible steel-colored skin changed, becoming softer, as if a mass of dark liquid was flowing on its surface.
His hands also reverted to human form.
" Getsuga Tenshō!"
A crescent-shaped, black and red slash tore through the earth and approached. Suddenly, the liquid beneath Cang Du's feet transformed into blades, resembling ice skates, before he unleashed Hirenkyaku.
The person's speed increased more than double.
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't even have time to blink.
The dark, spiraling blade slammed towards Cang Du's face. The liquid on his right arm transformed into rings of blades, spinning wildly like an electric drill. No one would doubt the power of this move.
Even a single blow from him is enough to save him from death.
Cang Du's second form is to melt the originally indestructible steel into a liquid that can change shape at will.
Of course, this steel is not ordinary steel; it's just that it looks so much like steel that it's called steel.
After all, Cang Du the kind of great philosopher who can create a completely new vocabulary for his abilities.
Ichigo Kurosaki realized the threat and swung his sword again, using the Getsuga Tenshō at close range.
boom!
The impact of the slash was drilled through, and this time it was Ichigo Kurosaki's turn to use the force of the impact to retreat.
He realized that he had no choice but to use the power he needed to use, as he no longer had the option.
Just like that guy said, a king and his mount can only unleash their full power by using instinct to control them.
The blade must be removed from its sheath before it can strike the enemy.
Ichigo Kurosaki covered his face with his left hand. A bone-like surface, similar to that of a Hollow, covered his entire face. The right half was pure white, while the left half was mostly covered with red patterns, leaving only a few small white gaps.
At this moment, Ichigo Kurosaki's Reiatsu tends to be Reiatsu of a Hollow.
Cang Du's eyes widened.
Hollows are the Quincy's natural enemies; everything a Hollow possesses is poison to them.
Any pure-blooded Quincy who is injured by a Hollow and fails to treat the Hollow power remaining in the wound in time will be corrupted by the Hollow's power and eventually become a Hollow.
"You're a fake?!"
Cang Du raised a question, but received no answer.
Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't maintain this state for long; he wished he could shatter his seconds and use them up little by little, so he didn't have the time to chat with me.
A Shunpo leap.
Cang Du stared at the bone surface so close at hand, his Reiatsu rising to its limit. The molten steel in his body transformed into blades that swirled around his surface, forcibly tearing the air apart.
This is his strongest move, Blade Storm.
Over a hundred million blades rotate at high speed on the body's surface, forming a three-layered defense.
The first layer consists of sharp air blades created by rotation, which directly turn the surrounding stone pillars into stone dust.
The second layer is a blade on the surface of the body, capable of shredding any Zanpakuto falls upon it.
The third layer is the very bottom, a concentrated steel skin, more than twice as hard as the previous one.
When he enters this state, no one can defeat him.
He's the toughest man in the Sternritter!
Ichigo Kurosaki ignored the blades in the air, raised Tensa Zangetsu and slashed it down fiercely at Cang Du. There were no fancy new moves, just the same old routine.
Getsuga Tenshō!
The powerful slashing force attached to the blade shattered tens of millions of blades, which landed on Cang Du's body like a red-hot iron falling on snow, without any obstruction.
Ichigo Kurosaki sliced him in half.
The darkness faded from his body, revealing his true appearance, and blood spurted onto the ground.
The severed body also collapsed.
His face cracked and bones splintered, Ichigo Kurosaki gasped for breath, sweat beading on his forehead. "Ha, ha, I won."
He licked his dry lips, tilted his head back, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Reiatsu that had seemed to have vanished on the second floor rose again. Rukia, she was still alive after all.
Inoue was beside him, Chad...
Ichigo Kurosaki's smile vanished suddenly. He understood and murmured, " Chad, you did a great job. I will never let Rukia and Inoue die."
As he finished speaking, having regained his composure, he didn't stay on the ground floor but leaped forcefully towards the second floor.
He smashed through the roof, his feet barely touching the edge, and Shunpo to the corridor where Rukia and Orihime Inoue were.
The ice here hasn't melted yet.
The air was cool, and the Sōten Kesshun reflected an orange glow on the ice surface.
Rukia raised her head slightly and said, " Ichigo, you won."
"Yes, Inoue, help me restore my Reiatsu as well."
Ichigo Kurosaki understood that, rather than trying to understand Orihime Inoue's feelings, relying on her abilities to the greatest extent possible was the real comfort he could find.
"Um."
Orihime Inoue nodded emphatically, her face showing no sign of fatigue; she had to keep going.
Rukia spoke up, " Ichigo, Chad."
"No need to say anything, I understand. It was Chad's choice. He's just such a gentle man."
Ichigo Kurosaki interrupted Rukia, stepping into the radiant light of the Sōten Kesshun, "Now we just need to recover as quickly as possible so we can go help the two captains up there; something's not right there."
It seemed that Ichigo Kurosaki had awakened a new skill: his prophetic ability. Shortly after he finished speaking, the ceiling on the upper floor suddenly collapsed.
Large amounts of pebbles, like snowflakes, smashed through the ice on the ground, piling up into the shape of small hills.
A thick cloud of dust was stirred up.
A human figure stood atop the dust cloud.
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't leave the spot where the Sōten Kisshun shone, his eyes fixed on it, somewhat incredulous, " Captain Unohana?"
As the dust settled, a stunningly beautiful face was revealed, with long, jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked exactly like the Captain Unohana he knew.
But what about the people below?
The person pressing down on him was none other than the little kid who stepped on his head to leave.
Soi Fon's body was half-buried in the rock, blood gushing from the cracks, her other hand hanging limply to the ground. She said with difficulty, "This guy... isn't Unohana, he's an enemy, cough cough."
"That's right, my name is Royd Loyd, and my Sternritter codename is Y."
Royd tilted his head, his black hair slipping down his shoulders, and even his voice became exactly the same as Retsu Unohana's, "My Schrift ability is the Yourself. With just one brief exchange, I can obtain information from your Reiatsu, thereby transforming into the appearance of an enemy and gaining equal power and skills."
This woman named Retsu Unohana is really strong. She seems to be on a completely different level from the women below her. The number of techniques she has mastered is astonishing.
As Royd spoke, he jumped down from the small hill, his blade pointing diagonally at the ground, "You did a great job defeating Mask, Meninas McAllon, Cang Du, and Äs."
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't think this was a compliment. "You must be very angry, your comrades were killed."
"I have no companions, only a younger brother and a king to serve, His Yhwach."
Royd's face showed a very cold expression, "If I can kill you who killed Äs and the others, I will receive a higher evaluation from His Majesty."
The only regret is that the big guy actually died together with Meninas McAllon; how foolish! If his fighting strength had remained, it would undoubtedly have been a greater help.
"Shut up!"
Ichigo Kurosaki glared, refusing to listen any further. He couldn't tolerate anyone slandering his deceased comrade. "Someone like you doesn't understand Chad at all. Stop spouting nonsense!"
" Ichigo minute."
Rukia shouted, trying to buy as much time as possible. The enemy possessed Reiatsu as strong as Captain Unohana's, and every bit of recovery she could get was valuable.
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't listen at all. He Shunpo out and swung his swords heavily forward with both hands.
Royd swung his knife with one hand to meet the attack.
The moment the blades touched, Getsuga Tenshō burst outwards, shattering Royd's original plan. He had intended to use one hand to block and the other to pierce Ichigo Kurosaki's abdomen with a short sword formed from Reishi.
This kind of attack, both overt and covert, originates from Retsu Unohana's techniques.
However, the Reiatsu that Ichigo Kurosaki unleashes when he is angry is often beyond imagination, so domineering that even Royd's current power is difficult to resist.
She leaped backward, using her Hirenkyaku to glide to the back, the resulting gust of wind whipping up all the stones from Soi Fon's body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she dragged her heavily injured body and rushed into Orihime Inoue's Sōten Kisshun.
This was her last act of defiance.
Ichigo Kurosaki pushed off with his foot and, to Rukia's astonishment, chased after her through the hole he had smashed open.
Bang bang bang, Royd smashed through more than a dozen walls in succession. Just as his feet stopped, a black hem of clothing appeared in his line of sight, fluttering in the air.
The boy with short orange hair unleashed a horizontal slash.
Having experienced the consequences of a head-on confrontation, Royd was no longer foolish enough to continue fighting head-on. He leaped forward, as light as a feather.
Ichigo Kurosaki immediately stopped his forward charge, leaped back, and turned his blade upward, determined to cleave Royd in two from bottom to top.
Royce seemed to transform into a feather, moving with the wind, dodging the blade before it arrived, while simultaneously pointing the knife downwards.
Ichigo Kurosaki didn't have time to change his move again, so he simply wrapped his left hand in Reiatsu and grabbed the blade, trying to use it to hold it in place.
Unexpectedly, Royd withdrew the knife as soon as he touched his palm, leaving only a deep wound that reached the bone.
Ichigo Kurosaki the air in his hand, then stepped back to maintain a safe distance, his expression grave.
In terms of Reiatsu, he felt that his current Reiatsu was in no way inferior to his opponent's, making the fight significantly different.
The skill gap left him with a constant sense of frustration, a feeling of being unable to exert his full strength. "Is this Captain Unohana's technique?"
"I told you, my ability is to mimic all of the enemy's techniques."
Royd smiled and said, "You can't possibly defeat Retsu Unohana."
"I won't lose to you, you imposter."
Ichigo Kurosaki covered his face with his left hand, deciding to use Hollowfication again to finish off the opponent as quickly as possible before going to help.
With a loud crash, the ceiling above collapsed again, and a figure burst out of the dust and landed in front of him.
She had light, flowing black hair and wore a loose-fitting, moon-white kimono adorned with cherry blossoms.
" Captain Unohana, are you alright?"
Ichigo Kurosaki asked with concern.
Retsu Unohana her head, her expression unusually cold, devoid of her usual gentle smile. "It's nothing."
Guduam, Ichigo Kurosaki swallowed hard. They were clearly allies, but he felt they were even more terrifying than that imposter.
" Royd, haven't you dealt with that brat yet?"
A deep voice rang out, and a man draped in a dark red cloak emerged from the dust.
He had long, messy black hair and a thick black beard.
At first glance, Ichigo Kurosaki thought it was Zangetsu who had come to the real world, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the two were not the same person at all.
Uncle Zangetsu was younger than this man, and his face didn't have such a fierce expression; instead, it carried a sense of vicissitude accumulated over the years.
" Loyd, don't speak to me in the same tone as His Majesty. Don't forget, you are merely imitating His Majesty, not the real one."
Royd scolded his younger brother.
Loyd also snapped out of his daze and said, "Sorry, brother, I didn't notice for a moment."
Royd shook his head and said, "Forget it, apologizing like this only makes me feel more awkward."
"Is that what Yhwach looks like?"
Ichigo Kurosaki stared at Loyd, his grip on the hilt of his sword tightening, an indescribable rage welling up inside him. It was that man who had turned his mother from a powerful Quincy into a woman who could barely hold a kaibou.
Retsu Unohana sensed the fluctuation of Reiatsu behind her and said, " Kurosaki, go down and rescue Kisuke Urahara."
Ichigo Kurosaki exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Captain Unohana, there are two enemies! I want to help you too!"
Please don't make me repeat myself, okay?
Retsu Unohana her head, her icy expression suddenly melting away, revealing a smiling face.
Ichigo Kurosaki suddenly remembered how, when he was naughty as a child, his mother would say with a gentle smile, "It's alright, tell me what you did wrong."
Once he truthfully confessed his mistake, his expression immediately changed, and he ordered stir-fried bamboo shoots with shredded pork.
"Uh, um, be careful."
Ichigo Kurosaki out and Shunpo to leave.
Royd laughed, "After killing you, we'll have plenty of time to get to the prison before they do."
"You little brat who hasn't even grown a full tuft of hair yet, stop spouting nonsense."
Retsu Unohana's face was devoid of any smile. " Bankai: Minazuki."
