Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 176 Guan Yi vs. Hiyori!
Having long been accustomed to the disparity between the two worlds, Guan Yi, whose consciousness returned to the world of the Grim Reaper, remained completely undisturbed and maintained a vigilant posture.

Before him stood Hiyori, who had come to confront him because he had destroyed the Visoreds' base, and emanating from her was a powerful spiritual pressure.

However, compared to before the activation of the third phase of infrastructure construction, this spiritual pressure has become slightly easier to bear. Every five years of cultivation in Under One Person, every bit of growth in spiritual cultivation will be transformed into the growth of the soul and fed back to him!

"Ha~"

Sensing that his spiritual pressure hadn't affected Kan's intentions much, Hiyori slightly curled the corner of her mouth.

"You've got some skill, huh... you bald guy!"

Swah——

Before the sound had even faded, the person had already arrived.

Hiyori used her Shunpo technique to quickly tap the ground with both feet, launching herself into the air and launching herself straight at Kanekichi with a double-kick motion!
Guan Yi gently embraced her with both hands, and the moment Hiyori got close, he grabbed her ankles, and with a grab and a pull, Hiyori's strength changed direction.

Tai Chi Cloud Hands!

*Thump!* Hiyori, who had originally attacked in a straight line, was forced into an arc by his momentum and crashed headfirst into the wall to the side. Her spiritual pressure instantly became even more violent, and when she leaped out again, she had already drawn her Zanpakuto!

There are no fancy moves; when spiritual pressure gathers on the Zanpakuto and the speed reaches a certain level, the direct strike has endless sharpness.

Empress, hereby appointed!

At the same time, the 'Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Divine Compass' in Guan Yi's arms began to glow, and an array that stretched for hundreds of meters instantly spread out beneath his feet.

"Huh? What the hell is this?!"

Ri Shili could see the array diagram and feel an indescribable sense of dislocation. Then he saw Guan Yi take a step forward and shout, "Kun character - Earth River Chariot!"

Rumbling--

A deafening explosion rang out.

The ground beneath Guan Yi's feet instantly rose up as if alive, transforming into a rapidly rising giant rock python that crashed into Himeji with immense force.

The Way of the Demon? No, it's not!
Something like that?

"Tsk, all that fancy stuff, and so noisy!"

The rumbling sound made Hiyori's face show even more irritation. She twisted her body forcefully in mid-air, and with a roar, the light golden spiritual pressure on the blade surged again. She slashed down, and the hard rock python was cut in half as if it were silk. Then, the momentum of the blade did not diminish, and it went straight for Guan Yi's chest.

Guan Yi took a step back, dodging the attack, and then stepped into a free position, flicking his fingers.

"The word 'separation' and the fleeting light of fireflies!"

buzzing-

Within the established framework, a sudden burst of light ignited.

The active spiritual particles were compressed by the strange power of the rules, and formed into more than a dozen high-temperature fireballs like a swarm of bees in the direction of the character "离"!

When Shiri used up all her strength in one strike and before she could even unleash a second, she was already facing a swarm of fire bees that blocked all her escape routes.

Hiyori was forced to halt her attack, her sword light transforming into a golden wall that shattered the fireballs. Each explosion stirred up turbulent spiritual pressure, scorching the air and releasing plumes of steam.

A slight stinging sensation spread through her, and a faint burnt smell emanated from the ends of Hiyori's hair. It was exactly the same as Kido; how could this thing penetrate her spiritual pressure defenses and harm her spirit?
But that wasn't all. Just as Rishiri was engulfed in flames, Guan Yi continued his movements, stepping with a series of powerful movements, constantly shifting his position within the formation.

"Xun Zi·Wind Rope!"

"Kan Character - Frost's Descent!"

The howling wind transformed into invisible chains, attempting to entangle Hiyori's limbs. Frost quickly froze on the ground, and the extreme cold climbed up Hiyori's ankles, slowing her movements!

"Aaaaaah! What are all these things?!"

Hiyori was caught in a predicament and was forced into a very sorry state by the repeated spells.

In the distant sky, Kisuke Urahara and Shinji Hirako exchanged surprised glances and said, "Is this the magic that their monks practice? I've never seen such a way of using spiritual particles before. Different elements are active in different directions, and they control the elements to fight. It's somewhat similar to the magic from the Western Frontier Bureau."

Shinji Hirako frowned: "The source of the power is some kind of artifact with a soul. No matter how you look at it, it's just another name for Fullbring, isn't it?"

“No, no, no, the cause and effect are different.” Kisuke Urahara chuckled and shook his folding fan. “He obviously learned these spells first, which led to him awakening a similar Fullbring technique one day, thus enabling him to wield spells with power similar to Kido. Rather than having Fullbring first and then mastering these spells.”

"Hmm, that's true." Hirako Shinji narrowed his eyes. "So, Kisuke? What mischief are you up to now?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?" Kisuke Urahara said, "I'm just curious about this unfamiliar power. Let's give it a try. Maybe it can be of some help someday."

"Help? With him? I think we should think about how to calm Hiyori down."

"Hmm...that is indeed a problem." Kisuke Urahara said with a headache, "Hiyori-san's patience isn't very strong."

"It's so annoying! It's so annoying!"

Sure enough, in the distance, Hiyori, who was becoming increasingly agitated, shouted. Surrounded by magic, she swung her sword and extinguished the incoming water bullets. Her spiritual pressure, like tangible golden flames, poured into her Zanpakuto.

Initial Release!

"Sever him! Slay the giant serpent!!"

Her blade instantly transformed into an exaggeratedly large blade the size of a door panel, with an extended hilt; it was less a knife and more a terrifying decapitation blade.

"Nonsense, one strike! Just one strike and I'll take you down!"

The giant blade swung down, without technique or fancy moves, just pure power, a spiritual pressure and destructive force strong enough to cleave mountains!

She shattered the several entangled spells in front of her one by one, and Risori leaped up, her door-sized blade slashing down at Guan Yi's head!

hum-

Under the intense spiritual pressure, Guan Yi's center of gravity sank slightly, and it seemed that another Qimen formation plate was nested on the Qimen pattern beneath his feet, turning the two-dimensional into three-dimensional and the static into dynamic.

"Celestial Plate - Firefly!"

It wasn't a direct attack. Suddenly, a golden-red star lit up three zhang above Hiyori's head. The starlight shone down, illuminating Hiyori and intensifying her rage. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and in that instant, she felt as if she had been transported back to the moment a hundred years ago when she was first Hollowfied!
A violent killing intent surged to the sky, and the blade struck out without restraint, as if it truly intended to kill Guan Yi.

Its power has increased, but its rationality has been lost, which also means that Hiyori has lost the opportunity to change her tactics.

"Heavenly Plate - Earth (戊), Guarding the Mountain!"

"The territory, specifically the character 'Kun,' has fallen!"

When heaven and earth are in harmony, this is called confinement.

While leaping through the air, Hiyori felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, the pull of gravity several times stronger. Before she could strike Guan Yi, she crashed to the ground. Her feet felt weightless, transforming into a deep, quicksand swamp that threatened to engulf her!

As a former vice-captain and a Grim Reaper who has lived for hundreds of years, Hiyori lost her mind due to the Firefly Impact, but her fighting instincts remained.

She immediately channeled her spiritual pressure into her legs, attempting to break free. But at this moment, Guan Yi exerted all her strength, her spellcasting efficiency increasing several times over, her attacks like a whirlwind, seamlessly connected!
"Heavenly Plate, Bing Qi, Fire Shines!"

"Divine Plate - Vermilion Bird, Ignite the Wilderness!"

No longer the basic firefly glow, the blazing white with a hint of dark red from the Binghuo sky cascaded down like a waterfall, its target not Hiyori herself, but the space within dozens of meters around her.

At the same time, the phantom of the Vermilion Bird on the Divine Plate flashed by in the firelight, giving the flames an even more difficult-to-extinguish spreading property!
The air was ignited, the ground was melted, forming a shrinking fiery abyss.

The terrifying heat caused Hiyori's spiritual pressure shield to sizzle and burn, making her face contort in pain. The giant serpent slashed back and forth, but she was unable to break free for the time being and could only barely defend herself!

"Baldy! Baldy! Damn it!"

How can that bastard be so strong?!

I can't stop it anymore. If this continues, it will be a huge mess. I'll definitely make that bastard Hirako laugh at me.

Should we use blurring?
Here?!

For a human being?!

How embarrassing!

In the distant sky, Hirako Shinji and Urahara Kisuke's faces were already filled with astonishment. That spell, which was no longer related to the Kido (Demon Path), seemed to even affect the mind, and its strength had reached a level that even they could not ignore...

"It might actually be of some use."

Shinji Hirako muttered something and used Shunpo to leave before Hiyori was forced into Hollowfication. His spiritual pressure, which was on a completely different level, crashed down and tore apart the flames that were wrapped around Hiyori, and also shattered Kan's alteration of gravity!
The spiritual pressure that distorted the air even affected Guan Yi's Qimen formation, causing it to tremble several times.

Guan Yi frowned and leaped back.

Hirako Shinji?
The battles between Shinigami are also battles of spiritual pressure. Right now, I can fight a vice-captain, but I'm still quite a bit weaker than a captain.
