Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 427 Saito is immortal: Bankai - Yuyu Tianbao - Infinite Mystery!

Bane's gaze also became slightly more serious.

The original captains of the Gotei 13 were not like the current captains; they were known as the "strongest in history," as can be seen from Unohana Yachiru and Yamamoto Genryusai.

In particular, Saito is immortal and even launched a rebellion against Yamamoto Genryusai, attempting to usurp the position of Captain-Commander.

This action also received the support of several original captains, which shows that, at least in their minds, Saito's immortality gave him the qualifications to compete with Yamamoto Genryusai.

"Initial release, the sky flashes with light." Saito Immortal said softly.

Although she said "Shikai," Bane didn't notice any change in her spiritual pressure or Zanpakuto.

Just then, Saito, the immortal being, grinned and stuck out his tongue at Bann.

In the next instant, her figure vanished from the spot, almost seamlessly transitioning to appear directly in front of Bane, raising her hand from above and slashing down with her sword!

There was no slashing motion, nor any fierce killing intent or aura, but wherever the blade passed, it was as if a sharp blade had torn through a curtain, creating ripples. And this so-called 'curtain' was space!

The moment he noticed this, alarm bells went off in Bane's mind, and he quickly created distance by taking a step back.

Then, looking at the spot where he had just been, a smooth spatial slit had been cut open by Saito, who was immortal.

"My Heavenly Lightning Strike is said to be able to cut through anything in the Three Realms, so you'd better watch out!" Saito Immortal said with a smile as he saw Bane dodge the strike.

Bane couldn't quite understand why these guys would introduce their abilities when they were killing people.

Perhaps it was because of his confidence? However, at the same time, he didn't really sense any killing intent or hostility from Saito's immortality.

"A spatial ability?" Bane thought to himself.

Before the thought had even settled in his mind, Saito, who was immortal, disappeared from his pupils again. Perhaps he hadn't seen him clearly before, but this time Bane was watching him intently.

Although he still prefers to use the razor step instead of the instant step, he has recently been researching the combination of the razor step and the instant step to see if he can develop a faster and more agile footwork, so he is also very knowledgeable about the instant step.

Therefore, it can be immediately determined that Saito's immortality is not due to the use of some kind of instant step, but rather a more sophisticated form of spatial movement!

At this moment, Bane unleashed his Observation Haki to its fullest extent. The instant Saito appeared, Bane had already made his judgment, slipped, and his figure deviated thirty centimeters backward.

Immediately afterward, another light slash passed right in front of him, and just like before, the extremely stable spatial structure of Hueco Mundo was smoothly sliced ​​open with a black line.

"Quickly!" Saito, the immortal being, commented before his figure vanished once more.

By fully activating his Observation Haki, Bane instantly saw into the brief future. His feet unleashed a burst of speed with the Shave Step, but as if worried that he wasn't fast enough, he forcibly combined it with the Instant Step, which he hadn't fully mastered yet and was still just a theoretical concept. By a hair's breadth, he once again dodged Saito's immortal slash.

Within a few breaths, Bane's figure flickered back and forth between the sky and the ground, moving so fast that he left a trail of afterimages wherever he went.

Similarly, Saito, being immortal, could keep up with Ban's speed, and could even be said to be a step faster than him.

This speed isn't limited by Saito's immortality; rather, it's precisely because of this speed that he can completely suppress Bane's speed!

"Hooray!!!" Saito's immortal and immortal Heavenly Sky Flash kept missing its mark, forcibly cutting many delicate cracks into the originally stable spatial structure. Although these cracks were rapidly healing themselves, perhaps because Bane and she were both very fast, the speed at which the space healed was not as fast as the speed at which the cracks were cut!

As a result, the cracks multiplied, and while this increase in cracks had no effect on Saito's immortality, it did impose an invisible restriction on Bane. In a flash, Bane brushed past a crack and keenly noticed that the cuff of his haori was torn open the moment it swept past the crack.

Clearly, if he were to directly collide with this spatial rift, he would inevitably be affected as well.

It was at this moment that Bane realized he had completely fallen into Saito's ageless and immortal rhythm. Through this extremely fast attack rhythm, she forcibly suppressed his counterattack opportunities, so that from the very beginning, he was completely in a defensive and dodging phase.

And just like what he did to Tsunayoshi Tokinada, prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat!

Saito, with his extremely rich combat experience and immortality, was simply waiting for his own weakness!

"You're a strange fellow. You're slower than me, but you always manage to dodge my attacks by the slightest margin at the most crucial moment," Saito Immortal said with a puzzled expression as he chased after him.

Because the flashing was so chaotic, the words fell out unevenly, sounding rather strange to the ear.

After a few more breaths, Bane felt increasingly troubled by Saito's immortality and speed.

"Your breathing is a little erratic, is it because you can't keep up with this fast-paced flashing?" Saito Immortal teased.

In the next instant, Saito, seemingly immortal, appeared before Bane, her Zanpakuto falling as before. A slightly manic smile played on her lips, and her gaze met Bane's in that instant.

At that very moment, Bane stopped dodging.

The spatial-type slash was indeed powerful. Even Bane, whose steel-like body was praised by Yachiru Unohana, was cut open in an instant with a bloody wound that was deep enough to expose the bone.

As blood burst open on her chest, a look of surprise flashed in Saito's immortal eyes. She thought this strike would miss like before, but it actually hit her.

But this was also a good opportunity. However, just as she was about to seize the opportunity created by this attack to injure Bane, the crimson tomoe in Bane's eyes began to swirl.

"What is this!?" The moment Saito Immortal saw the change in the pupils, he felt a sense of foreboding.

"Kaleidoscope - Soul Spell!" Bane shouted.

Saito, who was originally very nimble and agile, suddenly stiffened, and the Sky Flash he was about to unleash on Bane stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, Saito, who was immortal, seemed to see the scene from hundreds of years ago when she stirred up a bloodbath in the Gotei 13, killing countless members and cutting down the Kuchiki family's guards, before finally being consumed by Yamamoto Genryusai's violent and seemingly all-consuming flames.

"An illusion!?" Saito, who was immortal, broke free from the illusion in an instant, only to feel his spiritual pressure surging and turbulent within his body.

Before she could even adjust, a huge fist entered her peripheral vision.

A simple and unadorned left hook!

Even though Saito was immortal, he broke free from Bane's soul spell illusion created by the combination of his Mangekyou Sharingan and the Soul-Soul Fruit in just a moment.

But that one moment is enough!

The delicate and beautiful loli face made a sound of bones breaking as it came into contact with the fist. At the same time, her face contorted, her jaw shifted, and two molars mixed with blood shot out of her mouth without any hesitation. Her tongue, which liked to stick out, also slammed into her teeth, leaving a bloody gash that was almost bitten off.

Then, her neck couldn't withstand the force and she was spun around. Her swaying twin ponytails swept across Bane's cheeks, leaving a fragrant breeze before whistling away.

In the blink of an eye, Saito, who was immortal, spun dozens of times and crashed hard into the ground in the distance, raising a cloud of dust and sand. He was then bounced up again and repeated this process more than ten times on the ground before the force finally stopped.

At the same moment, Bane's hand seals fell, his gaze fixed on Saito's immortal figure, and he uttered a low shout: "Sage Art: Earth Shattering Union!"

Before Saito, who was immortal, could even get up from the ground, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the ground beneath her, and she fell straight down. Then the gap slammed shut and stuck back together.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Then, ignoring his bleeding wounds, Bane's feet flashed with spiritual pressure and shaved steps once more, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared above the area where Saito, the immortal being, had fallen into the ground.

Sure enough, the next second, a slash that cut through space to create a crack in the ground, and the disheveled Saito Immortal crawled out from inside.

As soon as he stood firmly on his feet, Saito Immortal felt a sense of crisis and suddenly looked up.

"Smash rock and cut steel!!!"

Bane delivered a powerful straight punch that slammed down from the sky. The sheer force of the punch nearly knocked Saito off his feet, causing his twin ponytails to sway wildly.

The power of that punch was too great; Saito, who was neither old nor dead, dared not face it head-on. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Then Bane punched the ground, the surging power transforming into an impact that instantly compacted the soft sand, causing it to shatter. A shockwave, reaching a kilometer in diameter, swept across the ground and surged in all directions.

In the air, Saito, who had just teleported there, was still feeling dizzy, but he could see clearly that there was a huge meteorite crater on the ground below!

"What level of hand-to-hand combat is this?!" Saito Immortal thought in shock.

If that punch had landed squarely on my body, it would have caused bruises all over the place.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Bane's tall figure stood in the crater, looking up at the immortal Saito in the sky.

The horrific wound on his chest, inflicted by the knife earlier, was now almost completely healed.

"Super-fast regeneration?" Saito, the immortal being, felt a chill run down his spine, his brow furrowing. "But the wounds seem to heal even faster than those of a typical Hollow."

At this moment, Saito, the immortal being, raised his hand and touched his cheek, cursing angrily, "Damn it, you've messed up my beautiful and delicate face! I've also lost two of my back teeth, and my tongue hurts terribly!"

"You almost sliced ​​me in two with that last cut," Bane sneered.

"It was a little short, but from now on, it won't be any worse!" Saito Immortal said with a deep look in his eyes, and his aura began to rise.

Unlike her initial release, when there was no spiritual pressure or change in her Zanpakuto, Saito's immortal spiritual pressure began to rise rapidly. Surprisingly, despite her small, loli-like appearance, her released spiritual pressure was incredibly terrifying.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she had already surpassed Unohana Yachiru's Bankai state, and was showing signs of catching up with Yamamoto Genryusai.

"Bankai: Yuyu Tianbao, Wuxian Mizong!" Saito Immortal said in a gloomy tone.

Then, the Zanpakuto in her hand, Tenkū Shō, gradually turned from solid to ethereal, becoming completely transparent, leaving only the hilt still in her hand.

At the same time, the spatial structure within a radius of more than ten kilometers became disordered. In terms of visual description, the world in front of Bane suddenly turned into a blurry mosaic!

It was a bizarre scene caused by the disintegration of space into individual cells, which were then randomly disrupted and reassembled everywhere.

At this moment, what was in front of Bane was no longer in front of him, and what was behind him was no longer behind him. All around him, the space was in complete chaos!

Saito, who was immortal and ageless, also merged into this complete chaos, and a very strange response appeared in Bane's Observation Haki perception.

It's as if at this moment, Saito's immortal head is in the west, his feet are in the east, and his ponytail is under his shoes.

Her entire being was disrupted and integrated into this complex and ever-changing space!

"An endless mystery?" At this moment, Bane was completely unable to determine Saito's immortal whereabouts.

Moreover, he suspected that not only was Saito immortal, but if he rashly made any move, he might very well get lost in this spatial turbulence.

"As expected of the first captain who is known as the strongest, his Bankai is indeed incredibly powerful," Bane thought to himself.
