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

Chapter 522 Kensei Rokusha: It won't take up too much of your time!

In the temporary camp.

Yamamoto Genryusai and Bane stood side by side.

Around the camp, Tetsuzai and Hachigen Ushōda, along with their Kidō followers, were seizing every opportunity and gap in the chaotic battlefield to continuously build defensive barriers.

It must be said that their demonic arts skills are quite formidable.

The two of them quickly combined the small barriers released by the ordinary members of the Ghost Path and used them to create a higher-strength barrier.

Once this large barrier, capable of completely defending the entire camp, is fully extended, Death's side will be able to proceed with much more ease.

At least we don't have to focus all our efforts on protecting the camp anymore; we can now launch a full-scale attack.

The balance of power could shift dramatically between offense and defense.

"Why isn't the Commander-in-Chief making a move?" Bane asked with a chuckle, a pipe in his hand.

It was as if what lay before them was not a chaotic battlefield, but a picnic.

Yamamoto Genryusai was more focused than Bane, his eyes constantly flickering and darting around, accurately observing every key point of engagement on the battlefield.

However, it was clear that he had no intention of intervening. He said calmly, "Such a situation, where the Gotei 13 are going all out to fight a formidable enemy, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is also the best chance to test the team. If every time we encounter such a situation, we have to step in to resolve it, then what is the point of the Gotei 13?"

"I say the brigade commander's opinion is excellent," Bane laughed.

Although this will bring more casualties, sacrifices and bloodshed to the Grim Reaper's side.

But think about it carefully, what team's fighting strength isn't forged through iron and blood?

Compassion should not be used to command an army, and righteousness should not be used to manage finances; this principle remains unchanged throughout history.

While chatting idly with Yamamoto Genryusai, Bane's gaze swept across the battlefield, and to be honest, he did see quite a few familiar figures.

Indeed, Hueco Mundo is vast and boundless, but the truly outstanding and talented individuals are still just a few.

Vastod-class Hollows may simply be "born with" their destiny.

None of the seven Vasto Lorde-class Hollows that appeared on the battlefield were 'exceptions'.

They were all originally members of the Espada.

For example, Barragan, who calls himself the King of Hueco Mundo.

For example, there's the Lone Stark, as well as Halibel, Nel, Ulquiorra, Szayelaporro, and Grimmjow.

When Bane saw Grimmjow, he was stunned for a moment.

Wait, there's an exception! Is this guy Vastod?

As far as I can remember, he was originally an Adjuchas-class Hollow, but now it seems that Grimmjow's spiritual pressure level far exceeds that of those Adjuchas-class Hollows, and like the other Vasto Lorde-class Hollows, he did not really engage in battle, appearing unusually calm and occupying the leadership position in the rear.

Hmm. It should have evolved into a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Grimmjow should have the potential to become a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow, and he himself is a very hardworking and ambitious Hollow.

Just as Bane was thinking about these things, suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from the chaotic battlefield.

Immediately following behind, a figure swelled up, resembling a gigantic beast.

"Adjuchas? Don't underestimate me. The only reason I'm still Adjuchas is because I'm too young. Compared to those old guys who are hundreds or thousands of years old, I'm not even eighty years old!!!" An angry voice came from the other side.

It was that magnificent beast!

Bane looked over with interest, and then a smile flashed in his eyes.

He recognized the guy—Yammy!

The original Zero and 'Ten' in the Ten Blades.

With a loud bang, the guy's punch created a fierce sound. The heavy punch, as big as a building, looked slow, but it was actually very fast. It hit the empty space in front of him hard.

The explosive force of the fist, carrying spiritual pressure, instantly sent more than a dozen Shinigami flying. Not only Shinigami, but also Hollows in that area were blasted away.

A figure moved through the dust and smoke, seemingly trying to seize an opportunity to kill Yammy.

The moment he emerged from the smoke and dust, Bane recognized him clearly: the Third Division Captain, Izumi Katsuki.

"Sonata, Queen Bee." Izumi Katsumi's hidden spiritual pressure exploded instantly, and his already fast speed increased even more. In the blink of an eye, he reached the sky and hovered above Yammy's head.

Immediately, the Zanpakuto in his hand fell, appearing out of thin air like a phantom of a raging queen bee, and stabbed fiercely into Yammy's forehead.

Blood gushed forth, and Yammy's head sprayed blood like a fountain, staining the surrounding battlefield red.

However, before Quan Sheng could even lament how easily this guy was defeated, Yammy, who should have fallen, staggered, regained his footing, opened his blood-covered eyes, and roared angrily. His already robust and burly beastly body swelled up again, becoming as large as a mountain.

This is his Revival Blade ability: Wrathful Beast!

In a sense, Yammy is indeed a guy with extremely high talent among the Hollows, otherwise he wouldn't have become the "Zero" of the Espada.

The angrier he gets, the stronger his spiritual pressure becomes!

"It doesn't hurt at all, you bastard!!!" Yammy roared, his head covered in blood.

The surging spiritual pressure instantly surpassed Quan Sheng's level, leaving him in awe.

This caused his movements to pause for a moment. In that instant, Yammy launched a feint, which slammed into Izumi Katsujinji.

The third division captain was blasted off the sky and crashed onto the sand of Hueco Mundo.

Before Quan Shengjinci could recover, Ya Mi's huge foot stomped down on him like a landslide.

If that kick lands solidly, Quansheng will probably burst open next time.

Just then, a violent gust of wind pressure exploded from the area where Izumi Katsujin was located, and a surge of spiritual pressure was released. His calm but bold voice also entered everyone's ears.

"Bankai: Iron Fist Severing the Wind!!!"

It's Kenshi!

Six Cars of Kensei!

Kensei Muguruma, Vice-Captain of the 9th Division!

Yammy's lower leg was enormous; compared to it, Kensei Rokusha was as insignificant as an ant.

However, the spiritual pressure emanating from him was extremely powerful, exceeding the level of most captains. The wind pressure unleashed by his Bankai caused sand and stones to fly across the entire battlefield, making it extremely violent.

The tiny Kensei Rokusha met Yammy's massive lower leg with an uppercut!

"Hard-fighting Secret Technique: Whirlwind Steel-Slicing Fist!!!"

All his energy and spiritual pressure converged on his fist in an instant, while the fierce wind brought up by the Bankai was also compressed into this iron fist in a flash.

This strike was the Whirlwind Steel Fist, a secret technique of hand-to-hand combat that Kensei Muguruma learned from Bane. Most importantly, this punch was perfectly matched with his Bankai, and its effect and power far exceeded what ordinary people could achieve.

With a strike from a distance, the fist slammed into Yami's lower leg. Then, the huge, cylindrical lower leg was torn apart layer by layer by the fierce wind and the force of the fist, blood splattered, and it exploded into a blood mist, scattering like fireworks.

Yammy's massive body staggered, unable to withstand the powerful counterattack. He stumbled several times and fell to the ground, creating a huge crater and a tremor!

It must be said that the power of Kensei Muguruma's punch shocked the entire battlefield.

Even Ulquiorra, a Vasto Lorde-class Arrancar, had a strange look in his eyes and murmured, "Very strong."

In Las Noches, Ulquiorra and Yammy had a good relationship, and he was also very familiar with Yammy's strength. Although Yammy was still an Adjuchas, if he could continue to live, it was only a matter of time before he became a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow.

Therefore, in terms of strength, Ulquiorra still acknowledges Yammy's abilities.

On the other side, Kensei Muguruma, who had just knocked Yammy down with a single punch, struck a stylish white boxing pose. Looking at Yammy lying on the ground in the distance, staring at him with wide eyes, he said coldly, "Sorry, I'll be your opponent from now on. But don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kensei Mukkaro's feet began to tremble, and grains of sand rose up, accompanied by energy, climbing from his ankles, up his waist muscles, and along his spine to gather in his fists and arms.

"The Spear of Elbaf!" Hirako Shinji, who had just slashed down a Gillian Hollow in the distance, noticed the change and exclaimed in surprise as he sheathed his sword.

"What!?" Hiyori Sarugaki, who had also been wielding a large sword and cutting down two Hollows, exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! He's learned the Elbaf Spear Fist?"

Elbaf Spear is a kind of slashing impact, but Bane later condensed and improved it several times, sublimating it into the power of "boxing", while also condensing a lot of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat essence into it.

It can no longer be considered the original Elbaf Spear; it's just that Bane didn't change the name in remembrance of it.

Kensei Rokusha learned this technique from him!

Back then, Shinji Hirako, Hiyori Sarugaki, and others all wanted to learn this move, but in the end, even Yoruichi Shihouin failed to master it.

Now, Kensei Rokusha has mastered this free-fighting style!

Under the incredulous gazes of many, Kensei Muguruma delivered a steady punch without any fancy moves.

But an extremely powerful spiritual pressure, carrying surging energy, rose up and instantly struck Yammy's head, who hadn't even had time to get up from the ground.

Then, Yammy's mountain-sized body was swept away by the powerful force, tumbling on the ground and instantly flying tens of thousands of meters away.

In this noisy and chaotic battlefield, a terrifying trench was carved out by the force of the punches and the tumbling of the teeth.

After delivering that attack, Kensei Muguruma's spiritual pressure quickly dropped. His face was noticeably paler, and sweat poured down his forehead. In the end, his spiritual pressure barely stabilized at the edge of the captain level.

Clearly, this punch also required him to expend a lot of spiritual pressure and physical strength!

Looking further into the distance, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Although Yami's head hadn't exploded, it had collapsed inwards, as if his skull had been shattered into mud. His face was no longer recognizable; because the flesh on his cheeks was mangled and bloody, only a fist mark could be seen, and even his facial features were gone.

At the same time, the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from Yammy was rapidly diminishing, unlike Kensei Muguruma who stopped at a certain point and stabilized, instead it was rapidly dissipating.

This undoubtedly indicates a situation. That's it!

"Holy crap, is Lieutenant Kensei that strong?" Daimae Kami of the Second Division stood at a great distance, watching this scene, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Vice-Captain Soi Fon looked at the Adjuchas-class Arrancar who had been killed with a single punch, her expression showing a hint of surprise. She remarked, "As expected of the vice-captain of the Spirit Lord, she is indeed terrifying."

There are quite a few Adjuchas-class Arrancars fighting on the battlefield, and they are all very strong. Judging from his spiritual pressure, that guy from earlier should be one of the top Adjuchas-class Hollows.

The result was quite unexpected; he was killed by a vice-captain with a single punch. This kind of shock left many Adjuchas Hollows dumbfounded.

Isn't that wrong? Aren't we, the Arrancars, generally stronger than the captains of the Gotei 13?
