I'm in Bleach, starting with Unlimited Blade Works.

Erin already knew about the ability of the plum needles to absorb spiritual pressure.

However, he deliberately allowed the plum needles to absorb his spiritual pressure, pushing them to their limit.

He wanted to defeat the plum needle at its strongest point, and then forcefully make it fall from the top.

He wanted to show Mei Zhen how insignificant he was in front of him.

This was Erin's punishment for Plum Needle.

He wanted Meizhen to collapse and then die.

After saying that, Erin unleashed another Wind Wound.

"boom!"

This time, the distance the plum needle retreated was much shorter than last time.

After all, Mei-needle's spiritual pressure did increase significantly after absorbing Erin's slash.

"really."

When Erin saw that the color of Mei Zhen's external spiritual pressure had changed to one-third purple and two-thirds gold, he detected Mei Zhen's limit.

"Wind injury!"

"boom!"

This time, Mei Zhen did not retreat an inch, forcefully withstanding the attack of the Wind Scar, and then completely absorbed the spiritual pressure within the Wind Scar.

"boom!"

After absorbing the spiritual pressure of Erin's third Wind Scar, the spiritual pressure within Meizhen's body turned completely golden, forming a golden flame around her body.

This is a manifestation of the fact that the plum needle cannot perfectly control the dissipation of the absorbed spiritual pressure outside the body.

After his outward spiritual pressure turned completely golden, Mei Zhen's spiritual pressure at this moment increased fivefold compared to when he had just used Bankai!

"It seems that this is your limit."

"If I were to do it again, you would definitely be blown apart by my spiritual pressure."

At this moment, Mei Zhen's gaze toward Ai Lin carried a hint of solemnity.

Indeed, although he can absorb spiritual pressure, if the absorbed spiritual pressure exceeds his own capacity, he will be burst by the enormous spiritual pressure.

Meizhen never imagined that her proud ability to restrain Shizushiro Souya would become her death warrant when facing the current Kenpachi.

If any one of those three strikes had been a little stronger, I would have already self-destructed.

The three spiritual pressures were just at the upper limit of spiritual pressure that I could absorb. Was it a coincidence or was this guy doing it on purpose?

"Very good, it seems this is your limit."

After retrieving the Tessaiga from his waist, Erin slowly walked toward the Plum Needle.

"You've got some really good ideas."

"To fuse oneself with one's Zanpakuto is indeed to reach a level that you may never reach in your entire life."

"However, the level you have reached has its limits."

"This limit is the limit of your own Zanpakuto."

"In other words, Plum Needle, the strongest moment in your life is in this very form."

"Come on, use your strongest moves to please me."

"If you cannot satisfy me, then I cannot guarantee what I might do, given the hatred I feel for the thirty-two team members who died at your hands!"

Ailin's words caused Meizhen's pupils to shrink.

It's confirmed. Those three slashes just now weren't a coincidence; this guy did it on purpose!

"hateful!"

Although she was terrified, seeing Erin retract his Zanpakuto, Mei Zhen felt a slight sense of relief, but then a wave of shame washed over her.

He's the one who's going to reclaim the title of the strongest Shinigami, "Kenpachi," so how could he possibly be glad that his enemy didn't use their full strength when facing them?

Feeling humiliated, Mei Zhen suddenly let out a loud shout.

"Drink!"

Instantly, Mei Zhen's entire body shone with golden light, and with a wave of her hand, countless golden blades, like lightning, attacked Ailin.

These golden blades, in terms of both flight speed and attack intensity, are several times stronger than the white blades that Mei Zhen used before.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the plum needles fired their blades, or how densely they were fired, none of them even managed to touch Erin's Feather Robe.

As if strolling leisurely, afterimages of Erin were pierced by the golden blade, but Erin's true form was approaching the Plum Needle step by step.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The primordial sound that erupted when the golden sword blade struck the ground grew increasingly rapid.

However, cold sweat had already begun to appear on Mei Zhen's completely metallic forehead.

"hateful!"

"Aha!"

With her hands crossed in front of her chest, Mei Zhen suddenly let out a loud shout, and then her whole body emitted golden light, which transformed into countless sword blades that scattered in all directions from Mei Zhen as the center.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Faced with the all-encompassing attack of the plum needles, it is impossible to completely dodge them using only the Instant Step technique.

At that moment, Erin raised his right hand.

"call out!"

He grabbed the flying half of a sword blade and used it to block or slash, completely knocking away all the sword blades that were attacking him.

As for those blades that are harmless to him, even if they grazed past Erin's ear, Erin wouldn't even blink.

"How can this be?"

Looking at Ailin, who had so effortlessly countered his ultimate move, Meizhen was filled with disbelief.

Such a powerful Instant Step, and this swordsmanship that can perfectly parry damage...

In just a few breaths, what Erin showed made Mei Zhen break through his defenses.

If it were said that Erin had used some powerful ability, Meizhen might feel a little better.

However, what Erin just demonstrated was only the Shunpo and Slash Technique from the Four Death Techniques.

Mei Zhen even suspected that the current Kenpachi's slashing techniques and Shunpo skills were comparable to those of Captain Kuruyashiki from over two hundred years ago.

No, even Captain Kuruyashiki doesn't possess such powerful slashing techniques and Shunpo (instant step).

In a daze, Mei Zhen noticed that Ai Lin was approaching her. Instantly, Mei Zhen was startled and burst out with spiritual energy, fleeing a distance away from Ai Lin.

"Oh? Meizhen, what makes you feel that the gap between us can be bridged by this distance?"

The next moment, Erin's voice suddenly appeared in Meizhen's ear, and then Erin's figure appeared in front of Meizhen.

Then, Erin slowly raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and blasted it towards the plum needle.

Faced with Erin's attack, Meizhen held her hands in front of her to protect herself, preparing to withstand Erin's attack and then absorb some spiritual pressure to replenish the spiritual pressure she had just consumed.

but--

"boom!"

Chapter 181 Crush

Erin's punch landed on Mei Zhen's arms, which she was using to protect herself.

The powerful force blasted the plum needle away.

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

"Oh!"

The Plum Needle, blasted away by Erin, broke the speed of sound, creating rings of sonic boom clouds in the air.

The next moment, Erin appeared behind Meizhen, raised his foot, and kicked towards Meizhen's head.

"boom!"

"Oh!"

"Bang bang!"

"boom!"

After creating three sonic boom clouds in the air, Mei Zhen's body crashed into a pillar in the Avici Hell, shattering it instantly.

"Crash..."

A large amount of rubble fell, which was buried by the plum needles that were blasted into the ground.

Zhicheng Shuang, who was watching from the sidelines, also remained silent.

This is Kenpachi in this generation.

Perhaps only someone as powerful as him could truly inherit the title of "Kenpachi" from that man, Kuruyashiki.

Unconsciously, Shiro Sō also recalled his previous battle with Erin Kenpachi.

He can blast the air apart with his bare hands, and tear space apart with a swing of his sword...

His mastery of the Ghost Path is no less than mine.

That battle reminded Sou Azashiro of his own battle with Kenpachi Kuruyashiki.

No, Soujiro also shook his head. Kenpachi Erin's strength is even greater than Kenpachi Kuruyashiki's!
