Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 212 Crushing Game
Da da da--

Mayuri Kurotsuchi strode quickly into the monitoring room of the Technology Development Bureau, stood in front of the screen, and looked at the spiritual pressure display on the screen.

Soul Society's remote spiritual pressure monitoring of Hueco Mundo is achieved through spiritual pressure conduction probes embedded within Hueco Mundo. These probes convert spiritual pressure into a special spiritual particle signal, which is then converted back into a spiritual pressure signal by instruments in the monitoring room.

The back-and-forth exchange has resulted in some distortion.

But just three seconds later, Mayuri Kurotsuchi recognized, or rather confirmed, that it was the very same Guan Yi that had haunted his dreams for so long!
Ever since his attempt to turn Kaneki into a Grim Reaper and take her away in the human world failed, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has never let go of his original intentions. However, after that incident, Kisuke Urahara would definitely be on guard, and he couldn't find a suitable reason to go to the human world multiple times, so he temporarily put it aside.

I never expected so much to have happened in the past year. Not only did that kid leave Kisuke Urahara's side, but he also caused quite a stir.

Are you fighting against the 'Hunter'?
good chance.

"Prepare for the portal to Hueco Mundo."

Ajin was taken aback: "Captain! Shouldn't we report this to the Commander-in-Chief first?"

“No.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi’s voice was fervent: “Those guys can’t be relied on to capture experimental subjects. Prepare to cross the interdimensional gate, Akin.”

……

Boom! The figure shot backward at lightning speed and plunged into the sand dune. Grimmjow's spiritual pressure shattered the sand around him. A knife wound on his chest healed rapidly. Facing Guan Yi, who was attacking again with Shunpo, a hint of impatience flashed in his leopard eyes.

what happened?

clang!clang!clang!
The blades clashed again, but the feeling was different from the initial, powerful collision. With each impact, Grimmjow felt his force being strangely deflected or diverted, as if he were striking a ball of water that was not under any force.

He was reckless, but not without wisdom. At least in combat, he was extremely intelligent. He could sense that his opponent's sword path had suddenly become very strange, and his long sword drew a series of perfectly natural arcs.

There was no explosive spiritual pressure, no dazzling light, only an extreme precision and refinement. The sword light flowed like mercury, each time striking the most vulnerable point in the transmission of power just before his Zanpakuto touched his body!
It seems my attack strategy was completely figured out by my opponent in just two minutes!
This is the Great Luo Cave Observation. Guan Yi's world is different from Grimmjow's world. In this world, Grimmjow's wild and surging spiritual pressure is no longer an invisible and intangible pressure, but has transformed into clearly visible lines and flows.

The crimson killing intent, the trajectory of the slashes, even the swirling sandstorm… every force was dissected, analyzed, and predicted under the Great Luo Insight's vision. Time seemed to stretch out, the layers of space were peeled back, and Guan Yi could even see the slight tremors of Grimmjow's muscle fibers and the flow of spiritual pressure through his meridian-like circuits!

"0.3 seconds later, right rib."

puff--

The Zanpakuto, like a scalpel, precisely pierced Grimmjow's next weakness. A spiritual pressure no less potent than Grimmjow's coiled around the blade, swiftly tearing through his steel armor!
A wound appeared on Grimmjow's body, stretching almost from his right rib to his stomach. Blood splattered, and Grimmjow let out a muffled groan and a cry of pain.

He shot backward, finally unable to contain himself, and roared, "You bastard! Your swordsmanship is as sneaky as when you secretly control others!"

Before he finished speaking, his left hand clenched into a claw in front of him, gathering a scarlet glow.

"Then let's try this!"

Cero!!
Boom!—The crimson light spread into a pillar, indiscriminately destroying everything in its path, rushing towards Guan Yi!

"Clear and bright." Guan Yi slashed horizontally with his blade.

The next instant, to Grimmjow's astonishment, his strongest technique, Cero, which contained most of his spiritual pressure, was cleaved in two from the center, as if his opponent had found a weak point!

call--

The crimson light flowed in all directions, and Guan Yi's figure darted swiftly through the center, instantly closing in on Grimmjow, who was riddled with openings.

Left rib, right shoulder, chest.

Puff puff--

Almost every slash from Guan Yi would leave a bloody gash on Grimmjow's body, forcing him to retreat repeatedly to avoid further damage!

But after the initial shock of this devastating blow, Grimmjow laughed. The laugh was ferocious and wild, and a spiritual pressure far colder and more violent than before began to slowly awaken within him. It was the prelude to a beast completely breaking free of its restraints, about to reveal its true fangs.

The proud Leopard King has no desire to bully the weak. Since his opponent has shown such strength, it is worth fighting with all his might!

"Squeak, Leopard King!"

boom! !

An indescribable surge of spiritual pressure erupted, instantly flattening and crushing sand dunes within a hundred meters radius of Grimmjow, turning them into shimmering glass! A towering pillar of azure spiritual pressure tore through the clouds, from which faintly echoed the ecstatic roar of a beast that had finally broken free of its chains!

Inside the Technology Development Bureau, the monitoring equipment sounded its piercing alarm again, and someone shouted in alarm:

"Second-level Spiritual Might! The 'Hunter's' Spiritual Might has just risen to the second level!"

"They were hiding their power?!" "Captain! Should we continue preparing to cross the interdimensional gate?!"

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo, amidst the light and wind of spiritual pressure, Grimmjow's figure rapidly changed and expanded. His bone helmet covered his head like a crown, extending into sharp horns, and the hollow hole in his chest was filled with azure spiritual pressure, shimmering like a beast's eyes.

White bone covered the limbs and torso, and a long, powerful leopard tail lashed out from behind, tearing through the air with a ripping sound. Ten fingers transformed into the most ferocious claws, gleaming with a cold light.

Leopard King, Complete Form!
Just as Soul Society had been monitoring, his spiritual pressure had increased three or four times, and he had entered the realm of second-class spiritual power.

His improvement was comprehensive!

"Roar—!" Without a word, without even a trace of movement, Grimmjow vanished from his spot. It wasn't a mere sound, but a pure, savage burst of speed!

In less than the blink of an eye, Grimmjow moved in front of Guan Yi, who had been forced back by his spiritual pressure, crossed his claws, and tore him apart fiercely!
His skills did not improve with his return to the blade; only by replacing the knife with claws could he fully express his true nature.

However, at the same time, the loopholes that Da Luo Dong Guan had originally detected also disappeared. Its original weaknesses were all covered up by stronger power and speed, making it impossible for Guan Yi to divert Grimmjow's attacks in the original way.

boom! ! !
It wasn't the clang of metal against metal, but the dull, deafening sound of a heavy object striking steel. Guan Yi felt as if he had been struck head-on by a major event, shooting backward like a meteor for a hundred meters before the force dissipated.

Before he could even get his footing, the wild leopard king's claws came lashing at him once more!

boom! boom! boom!
With each muffled thud, Guan Yi's figure twisted and turned in the sand and dust, his arm holding the knife aching from the shock, his bones groaning.

"Come on! Where's your 'seeing through' ability?!"

"Try to see through my trick again!"

The Leopard King's laughter and roar echoed: "Don't tell me that's all you've got! Shouldn't you Shinigami be able to unleash your Zanpakuto?!"

"Leopard King's Claw - Sky Rift!"

The ten intersecting azure claw marks were not illusions, but highly condensed spiritual pressure slashes powerful enough to cut through space! Their coverage was so vast that they blocked all ground-based evasive angles.

Dang Dang Dang——

Guan Yi swung his sword to parry eight attacks, his tiger's mouth was shattered by the impact, and his Zanpakuto flew away with a thud.

The remaining two intersecting claw marks ripped open his chest, splattering blood everywhere!

However, with the triple recovery of Reverse Regeneration, Dual Perfection, and Six Treasures Immortal Thief, the wound healed faster than Grimmjow's super regeneration.

Almost instantly, Guan Yi's injuries were completely healed. As he retreated, he caught the Zanpakuto that had been knocked away and blocked Grimmjow's attack, shooting backward.

"Huh? Are you a Shinigami or a Hollow?!"

"No, that's not important, keep going!"

"Come on! Where's your 'seeing through' ability?!"

"Try to see through my trick again!"

The Leopard King's laughter and roar echoed: "Don't tell me that's all you've got! Shouldn't you Shinigami be able to unleash your Zanpakuto?!"

"Leopard King's Claw - Sky Rift!"

The ten intersecting azure claw marks were not illusions, but highly condensed spiritual pressure slashes powerful enough to cut through space! Their coverage was so vast that they blocked all ground-based evasive angles.

But after this strike, Grimmjow's expression suddenly became dazed—why did this scene feel so familiar?
Wait a minute! Did I just use the same move and say the same thing?

Why didn't he change his tactics after healing quickly? Why did I repeat the same tedious things to him?!

A chill ran through him, but before Grimmjow could react further, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest.

Guan Yi slashed away at the Leopard King's claws once again, but Guan Yi's figure flashed in front of him at a speed that Grimmjow could not comprehend. His Zanpakuto pierced through his chest!

"There are too many prying eyes, so I won't demonstrate the initial release for you. You're too inexperienced. If it weren't for the time constraints, I wouldn't even know how to use half of the initial release. But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to get to know me from now on."

Guan Yi's eyes flashed with blue light, and Grimmjow felt his spiritual pressure receding at an alarming rate... no, being absorbed!
"You bastard... what trick did you play!"

“…What are you going to do?!”
