Death: Then stood in the sky.

No, it's too late!

Ryugen Ishida gritted his teeth and placed the Spirit Bow in front of him in a blocking motion.

boom!

An immense force struck, carrying a massive amount of spiritual pressure, and he was sent flying, crashing into everything in his path.

The ground was a scene of utter devastation.

The ravine, stretching for hundreds of meters, testifies to the power of this strike.

Nekomaru cracked her knuckles and chuckled, "I controlled my power as much as possible. This level shouldn't kill you, after all, you're a rare experimental subject..."

The sound of the Cocoon stopped.

At the end of the line of sight, the young Quincy who should have fallen was still standing in the same spot.

The clothes on his upper body were almost torn to shreds from the blows, and his exposed skin was covered with white marks left by the blows, but these were completely defended by the blue, tree-branch-like patterns on his skin.

Blood-stasis suit!

"What kind of ability is this?"

With an excited expression, Nekomaru suddenly stepped forward, as if to see what had happened to Ishida Ryugen.

What happened to your body?

"Why can a human body withstand my strike?"

"Is it spiritual pressure?"

"Or spirit particles?"

"Are you injecting spiritual pressure and spiritual particles into the blood? How did you manage to do something so insane?"

Nekomaru's voice grew increasingly curious as he pointed with a thirst for knowledge at the fallen Ishida Sogen, "He's your father, right? Why do you have this ability while he doesn't?"

"Never mind, it's not important anymore."

"All I need to do is bring you all back to my research institute."

Nekomaru shook his head, the madness in his eyes turning into indifference, and he shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

"Masaki!"

"I'll take the lead in attacking, you help me draw his attention!"

Ryugen Ishida, his face grim, stretched his body, and the discomfort left by the previous slash quickly faded away.

Immediately afterwards, he crouched down slightly and launched a sudden counterattack!

Flying Leg Kick!

The blood in the veins surged, and under the influence of spiritual pressure and spiritual particles, the blood pressure instantly soared to a terrifying level.

But what followed was an extremely violent power!

He gave up the defense of the Static Blood Armor in exchange for the boost to his physical functions from the Dynamic Blood Armor!

"Give it to me!"

Staring at Ishida Muneaki lying in a pool of blood, Kurosaki Masaki's delicate face was filled with barely suppressed rage.

Although... I knew all along that my aunt had ulterior motives for taking me in.

But she saw all the kindness that Uncle Zongxian had shown her!

"It's alright, Masaki. Make yourself at home here, don't be shy."

"Did your aunt scold you again today? How could you tell? Well, it's because your smile wasn't as bright as usual."

"I said I disagree."

“I know you supported me in bringing Masaki back so that she could be with Ryugen, but have you considered that Masaki is an independent person and who she chooses to be with is her own choice?”

"Masaki has her own life."

“You’re right, she’s not my child, but in my eyes, she is my child.”

so......

Absolutely, we will never allow this guy to hurt them again!

......

The fierce wind whistled past his ears. Staring at Ishida Ryugen who flashed past at lightning speed, Kurotsuchi asked in surprise, "An attack style that's practically like the Grim Reaper's bare-handed fighting style. Is this fighting style also a result of your ability?"

At this point, Kurosaki glanced at Masaki Kurosaki, whose body was also shimmering with blue, tree-like patterns. It was these strange spiritual patterns that had blocked her attack, which could have severely injured her.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes:

"So that's how it is."

"Two different development paths for a single ability: if you choose defense, you cannot choose offense; if you choose offense, you cannot choose defense."

"That's really interesting."

Ryugen Ishida gritted his teeth and shouted, "Stop babbling!"

This guy managed to analyze the abilities and drawbacks of the static blood armor and dynamic blood armor in such a short time. We absolutely cannot let him continue like this.

Flying Leg Kick!

He lifted his foot... Ishida Ryugen looked down, his eyes wide with surprise.

I can't move!

Ryugen Ishida glanced at Masaki Kurosaki out of the corner of his eye and was shocked to find that she, like himself, seemed to be in a state of paralysis.

"How slow! It took you so long to realize that?"

Nekori grinned. "You don't think I only prepared a barrier and didn't do anything else, do you?"

"That's not right."

Nejiri moved his five fingers morbidly and laughed strangely, "This place is filled with poison that I released long ago to paralyze the body and nerves."

As he finished speaking, a faint purple hue began to permeate the air.

"It seems like everything is going smoothly."

Nekori smiled with satisfaction: "Say, it's over. Come with me."

He leaned forward, walking towards us step by step with a terrifying sense of oppression.

But the next second, Nekori's eyes darted around, looking towards a spot dozens of meters away.

There stood a young Grim Reaper, accompanied by a girl with lake-green hair who was observing him with timid eyes.

Nekori narrowed his eyes and grinned.

ho.

Looks like some interesting fellow has arrived.

I'll only say this once, Chapter 79.

"Interesting, how did you find me...?"

As if recalling something, Nekomari paused, then grinned and said, "Oh? Is that it? The barrier that was broken back then. Although it was only for a moment, you still managed to sense my spiritual pressure. That's quite an excellent sensory ability. It seems you are indeed outstanding."

"so what?"

Kurotsuchi hung his Zanpakuto on his index finger and asked in a sarcastic tone, "What do you want to do by coming here specifically to stop me?"

Ignoring his provocation, Seiji said, "Captain of the 12th Division, whatever you intend to do, please cease all actions immediately."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Nekomamushi's face vanished: "What should I do? It seems you've come to hate them just like those Quincy. Is it justice? Or compassion?"

“Apart from the Grim Reapers who regularly rotate through the mortal realm, any Grim Reaper who goes to the mortal realm must first apply for permission.”

Aoshi pointed to the barrier that was sealing off spiritual pressure fluctuations, "If Captain Kurenai had permission, there would be no need for him to use this kind of barrier to conceal his movements."

"Moreover,"

"I did not sense the presence of a limited spirit seal on you."

Masaki Kurosaki slowly approached, asking curiously, "Limited Spirit Seal?"

With the power of the Blood Stasis Armor, she gradually regained some of her mobility.

In the distance, Ishida Ryugen silently reactivated his Blood Stasis Gear, his eyes behind his glasses silently watching how things were unfolding.

Aoshi explained simply, "The limited spiritual seal is to prevent Shinigami of the vice-captain level and above from causing irreparable damage in the human world. Therefore, before they go to the human world, the spiritual pressure of vice-captain and captain-level Shinigami is restricted by sealing it."

"But clearly, the heavy spiritual pressure emanating from him, as thick as a mountain, indicates that he has no such limitation."

"If I remember correctly, a captain-level Grim Reaper coming to the mortal world without permission is already a serious offense."

"Attacks on Quincy, and even more so, the deliberate luring of Hollows to the human world, are heinous crimes."

"If the 46 Chambers and the Seireitei find out, even you will likely face severe punishment."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Masaki Kurosaki's eyes.

Then, to her horrified surprise, Nekori snapped her neck with a crack:

"Ouch, my head hurts so much."

"What should we do?"

"I feel like I'm being threatened."

"If I don't handle this properly, I might really face some serious trouble."

He suddenly stopped, tilted his head, and licked his dry lips: "So, how about we take care of you all?"

"I've heard many rumors about you."

Kurotsuchi smiled sinisterly, "With the same disease as Captain Jushiro Ukitake of the 13th Division, you should have died long ago. Why are you still alive today?"

"What?!" Masaki Kurosaki exclaimed in surprise, "Are you about to die?"

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here! You mere experimental subject, I'll lock you in a sieve in a minute!" O Li scolded with dissatisfaction.

Masaki Kurosaki was furious.

"There are many rumors about you in Soul Society."

"Some people say you're learning Shunpo and Hakuda from Yoruichi Shihfengin."

"Some people say that besides receiving treatment, you also went to the Fourth Division to learn swordsmanship."

"Some people say that you've survived this long because you're smart enough to develop things that can save your life."

Nekori tapped her head and said very seriously, "At first I didn't believe it because they made up such strange stories about you."

"But now that I think about it, you are indeed very interesting. How have you managed to survive until now? And what exactly have you been researching?"

"Hey, how about coming back to the research institute with me?"

“I will treat you with a higher standard than that guy.”

Niejiri pointed at the motionless Ishida Sogen, completely ignoring Ishida Ryugen's ugly expression, "A piece of bone is removed every day, and 50 grams of internal organs are removed every day? Your illness should be internal organs, right? I have as much of that stuff as you want here."

"Of course, I personally respect other people's wishes, so you can refuse."

Nekori abruptly changed the subject, grinning and pointing a waving finger at Nel: "If you hand her over to me, releasing you isn't out of the question."

"Even if you eat me, you won't become stronger. I'm just a weak little fish!" Nel was so frightened by the perverted gaze that she shrank behind Aoshi, not daring to open her eyes.

“Ignorant bastard, who would eat you?” Nekorea said with disdain, then suddenly slapped her forehead. “I almost forgot, there’s also this woman, and those Quincy.”

As she spoke, Nekomaru pointed at Masaki Kurosaki.

A vein bulged on Kurosaki Masaki's forehead.

This bastard actually treated me like an extra!

"The opportunity has been given to you. The choice you make is entirely up to you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the flash of a blade.

boom!
