Restricted Death

Chapter 113 Unrivaled!

The knife that Xin swung out suddenly froze when it was less than a few centimeters away from Ichimaru Gin. A visible blue spirit particle flow filled the area where the two were, making Xin feel as if he was trapped in a muddy sea, and a huge force pushed him out desperately.

When the third-level spiritual power completely explodes its spiritual pressure, the impact of the spiritual particles alone carries a powerful force.

The people in the surrounding audience seats all changed color under the impact of such spiritual particles. They all clearly felt that this was definitely a pressure from the captain level!

The Death Tyrant Suit on Gin Ichimaru's body swayed wildly in the strong wind. He held the magic spear tightly in his hand, stared at the letter that was close to him, and slowly uttered two words.

"Swastika!"

Xin's heart was suddenly shocked, but at such a close distance, he had no time to withdraw. Even at the moment when this thought came to his mind, a huge force hit his chest.

boom!
The moment the magic spear tore through the air, it hit Xin's chest hard. The impact force sent Xin flying dozens of meters. When he hit the murderous stone pillar, the entire huge stone pillar shook violently.

Ichimaru Gin took a light breath, his hanging clothes were still swaying, and the Zanpakutō in his hand kept making soft sounds.

No one could see clearly what happened. They only saw a white beam of light suddenly appear in front of Ichimaru Gin. The next moment, Xin suddenly appeared on a murderous stone pillar dozens of meters away. Between him and Ichimaru Gin, there was a narrow blade that stretched for dozens of meters!
This scene instantly made some people outside the field scream in surprise. Hu Che Yongyin stood up in panic, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the figure on the murderous stone pillar in the distance had reacted.

Just now, Ichimaru Gin's Zanpakutō extended and retracted even faster, and it was impossible to see with the naked eye. Was it Bankai?

Not only Hu Che Yongyin thought so, even the captains present couldn't help but look solemn. If they went up on their own, they might not be able to avoid it.

It can even be said that there is a high probability that it cannot be avoided!
"Broken Path 4: White Thunder!"

White lightning shot towards the suicide stone pillar. Seeing this, Ichimaru Gin couldn't help but move away, and the extended magic spear returned to its original shape in an instant, turning back into the short sword in his hand.

The letter fell back to the ground.

He had to admit that the attack just now was too fast and carried an incredibly strong force. If it weren't for the power of the other side, he would have definitely been pierced through on the spot!

When Gin Ichimaru saw that the letter was still intact, his expression changed slightly.

If the Divine Spear in its Shikai state cannot cause damage to Shin, it may be because its lethality is insufficient.

But the speed of the God-Slaying Spear in the Bankai state and the power brought by the speed have reached a level that cannot be reached by human power!

More than a hundred times the speed of sound!
"What a remarkable Bankai."

Xin praised him out loud, "If it were the first time for someone else to face such an attack, they would definitely not be able to escape."

Ichimaru Gin's expression also became more serious than ever before. He also responded: "Nobu-kun, aren't you okay? Compared to the attack just now, the fact that you are safe and sound is even more incredible, isn't it?"

These words also expressed the thoughts of the other spectators. Although Ichimaru Gin's attack just now was powerful, it was even more surprising that Tachigawa Nobu looked completely unharmed.

Xin chuckled when he heard this, raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Ichimaru Gin.

"Vice-Captain Ichimaru, this is your strongest attack, right?"

"..."

Whoosh!
Xin suddenly disappeared from the spot in an instant. Ichimaru Gin's eyes darkened and he quickly locked onto the location where Xin appeared.

God-killing gun!
Swish!
Another white light instantly pierced through the sky, and its length was so long that the end could not be seen at a glance.

Xin had anticipated this attack, and it just brushed past Xin's hand and deflected a little to the side. There was a sharp sound, and the knives in the hands of both men were shaking, and sparks flew in front of Xin.

If it was just an ordinary shallow blow, it would have broken long ago after such a strong blow.

Xin's sword contains the Spirit King's right hand, which gives it an indestructible characteristic.

Ichimaru Gin missed his first attack and immediately retracted his magic spear, preparing to attack again. Suddenly, he saw a terrifying spiritual pressure fluctuation bursting out from Xin's body at this moment.

"The Eighty-eighth Breakthrough——"

Ichimaru Gin was startled, his eyes flashing with disbelief. A surge of azure spirit particles surged, coalescing into a blue-white vortex. As Xin thrust his hand forward, lightning and fire suddenly appeared. A blazing white beam tore through the air, carrying with it a turbulent flow of blue spirit particles. A spiral energy cannon several meters in diameter barreled down madly!
"Flying dragon strikes thieves with thunderous cannon!"

No matter how confident Gin Ichimaru was, he would never dare to take this move, or he could say that he had never had the confidence to take on the 88th Kidou's move head-on. Even if it was performed by breaking the chant, the power that was set to destroy everything made alarm bells ring in his heart!

Gotta get away...

Got to get out of the way!

Ichimaru Gin pushed forward with one hand, chanting urgently: "The Eighty-first Path of Binding: Severing the Sky!"

Although the No. 81 Dankong was said to be able to defend against all the ghost arts below the No. 89, it was obvious that Ichimaru Gin did not have this ability when he used it in such a hurry. This was because Tachigawa Nobu raised his hand and directly broke the chanting to cast the Flying Dragon Striking Thief Thunder Cannon, which was beyond his expectation, making his reaction half a beat slower. He did not expect to be able to resist it, but only wanted to buy himself a short period of time.

The spiral energy torrent slammed into the huge energy barrier with a bang, and the burst of spiritual airflow pushed wildly in all directions. Although a lot of it was absorbed by the spiritual devices around the ring, the strong wind it created also blew some ordinary team members toppling over.

This confrontation, which was supposed to be between the vice-captain and a high-ranking official, has obviously now gone beyond the scope of the vice-captain.

Duan Kong was ultimately unable to withstand the azure spirit particle cannon and was torn apart in an instant. The torrent of thunder and fire directly covered the back half of the ring. Fortunately, behind Ichimaru Gin was a murderous stone pillar that absorbed all of the terrifying spirit particles.

However, Gin Ichimaru disappeared from the spot. Xin concentrated and quickly looked up at the sky.

Ichimaru Gin leaped high into the sky at some point. The coverage of the Eighty-Eight Kidō just now was too wide, and he didn't have time to dodge with Shunpo. He used the thrust of his Zanpakuto to stretch downwards and finally got into the air.

Everything in Soul Society is made up of Reishi, and the concentration of Reishi is far beyond what is found in reality. Therefore, the Shinigami in Soul Society cannot stand in the air like they do in reality.

Although Ichimaru Gin had nowhere to gain support at high altitude, he pointed his Zanpakuto towards where Shin was below.

Swish!
The blade turned into a bright white beam of light and went straight to Xin, but this time Xin did not block it, and let the tip of the magic spear hit his forehead!
A scene that surprised Gin Ichimaru again happened. After the magic gun hit Xin, it seemed like it hit something indestructible. Not to mention penetrating it, it couldn't even make it move a little bit!

Instead, he was sent flying backwards a short distance in the air by the reaction force of the magic gun.

Xin stood firmly in place, looking at the other person with a calm expression.

Ichimaru Gin landed back on the ring, his heart churning. He didn't believe in evil, and used his magic spear once again. White light instantly penetrated the distance between the two of them. This time, Xin dodged, but he only slightly turned his head, letting the long blade that suddenly extended hundreds of meters fly past his ear. The next moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the long sword with his bare hands!

He...caught it?!
Ichimaru Gin's expression froze, his eyes filled with fear.

The moment Xin grabbed the divine spear, spirit particles rushed into his Zanpakutō. Ichimaru Gin tried to retract the divine spear but found that he was unable to do so for the moment.

what happened……

Before he could think about it, Xin on the opposite side suddenly swung his knife in a semicircle, and a giant sword energy ten meters high swept out instantly.

The divine spear was controlled by the opponent, and Ichimaru Gin had no way to dodge, unless he abandoned the sword and ran away. Seeing the extremely fast speed of the sword energy, his whole body was cold and he stood still. "Gin!"

Suddenly, panicked shouts were heard from outside the field.

Gin Ichimaru also came back to his senses at this moment, but the sword energy had already rushed in front of him.

boom!
This giant sword energy did not have the terrifying killing power as expected. The moment it touched him, it suddenly turned into an extremely swift and fierce wind, which blew so hard that he could not open his eyes for a while.

The storm continued to grow stronger and headed straight for the captain's seat outside the arena. The lepton reaction devices around the ring failed to have any effect on it. In an instant, the strong wind swept through the captain's seat, causing countless people's clothes to flutter and their hair to dance.

Captain Yamamoto remained expressionless and squinted at the man in the field.

As Ichimaru Gin closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arms, and his hands that were tightly gripping the magic gun loosened uncontrollably.

pat-

The restored divine spear fell to the ground, and Ichimaru Gin's hands fell down helplessly.

The soul knots in both arms...

Ichimaru Gin was in a daze. He saw Xin appear in front of him at some point, but he had already sheathed his sword and walked away with his back to him.

Just like that... it's over?

Ichimaru Gin was speechless for a moment, looking a little dazed.

He thought of the question Xin had asked him not long ago.

Did he lose...

Indeed, ever since he entered the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy, he had been dubbed a genius, and because of his reputation as a genius, he was valued by that person and had never been defeated until now.

Even against Shiba Kaiyan, who was his contemporary and also hailed as a genius, he was confident that he could defeat the other.

This Tachigawa Nobu had only been a Shinigami for less than a year, yet he defeated him who had mastered Bankai.

Ichimaru Gin stared at Xin's back in a daze, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

This person might be able to...

"Thank you, Vice Captain Gin Ichimaru."

Xin walked to the center of the field and stood still, then turned to look at Ichimaru Gin and said.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ichimaru Gin also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I lost."

None of the spectators spoke for a moment, still in shock from the battle.

For the ordinary team members around, this kind of captain-level battle may not be seen in a hundred years. Whether it is Zanpakutō Bankai or the advanced Kidō of breaking the chant, they are extremely distant things for them.

Only at this moment did Kotetsu Yuin realize what was happening and walked into the field. He first checked Ichimaru Gin's injuries, and immediately called the members of the Fourth Division to send Ichimaru Gin for treatment.

It was then announced that the winner of this duel was Tachigawa Nobuyuki.

There was a noise all around.

On the other hand, on the captain's side, several captains were strangely silent at the moment. Instead, Togakushi Li Kong of the third team looked at Xin on the ring with shining eyes.

"What a great fight."

Finally, it was Ukitake Jushiro who broke the silence and spoke first with a smile: "The strength of these two people is so strong that they have reached the level of captains."

Kyoraku Shunsui also took the opportunity to speak, "Vice-Captain Ichimaru has mastered Bankai, making him a captain-level fighter. And the spiritual pressure that Tachigawa Sansei unleashed during the battle just now is also at the level of third-class spiritual power. Add to that his impressive swordsmanship and the high-level kidō that allows him to easily perform the Breaking Chant, and he's clearly also a captain-level fighter."

Captain Komamura Sajin of the 7th Division said, "It is a blessing to have two juniors like you in the Gotei 13."

Aizen Sosuke sighed and said, "I thought our Fifth Division would win the championship in this exchange meeting, but I didn't expect..."

His look of regret and bitter smile slightly dispelled the slightly tense atmosphere among the captains.

After all, Gin Ichimaru is a member of the 5th Division, and the captain doesn't seem to care much.

The people sitting behind the captain all had different expressions at this moment.

"Rangiku, where are you going?"

Ise Nanao suddenly called out softly, and she found that Matsumoto Rangiku had quietly stood up and left.

Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was sitting next to Matsumoto Rangiku, was also a little confused. After all, the competition had not yet ended, and it would be their vice-captain's turn to go on stage soon.

But seeing that Matsumoto Rangiku left without any explanation, he glanced at his captain, Shiba Isshin, and he didn't seem to want to ask any more questions.

Hitsugaya Toshiro turned his gaze back to Tachigawa Nobuyuki on the ring and suddenly sighed.

He originally thought that he had made rapid progress and that he would be able to catch up with this person in no time, but this battle made him clearly realize the gap between the two.

But one day, I will become as strong as this.

No, it's stronger than him!
"Captain Unohana." Shiba Isshin suddenly smiled and said to Unohana Retsu, "This Tachigawa doesn't look like someone from your Fourth Division at all."

"What does Captain Shiba mean by this?" Unohana Retsu asked with a smile.

Shiba Isshin said with a smile, "Although his Zanpakutō is of the Kaidō type, with such strength, he should no longer be limited to the identity of a medical Shinigami. I think the Spiritual Arts Academy's evaluation of students is still not accurate and detailed enough."

Unohana Retsu responded, "Isn't the Fourth Division making changes now? Tachigawa is also working hard for this. I think it won't be long before everyone's impression of us, the Fourth Division's medical shinigami, will change."

She paused, then continued, "Captain Shiba, are you regretting that Tachikawa didn't get to join the 10th Division? But, someone like Tachikawa wouldn't be able to stay just an adjutant or a chief officer for long. What do you think, Captain Shiba?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present had different expressions.

Shiba Isshin just smiled and said nothing.
