Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

If Kyoraku Shunsui didn't unleash his Zanpakuto, he might not be able to kill Amagai Shusuke, but he wouldn't be easily defeated either.

On the battlefield.

Tenbei Shusuke raised his red, hook-shaped sword with shell-like handguards, and Asahita Toshiro slashed down.

This is his Bankai, Thunderfire Blaze Shell!

Jiu Nanbai flashed and appeared behind Tianbei Xiuzhu.

He kicked out, striking the massive shell-shaped guard of his Zanpakuto.

Under the immense impact, Tenbei Xiuzhu was sent flying several meters before she could finally regain her footing.

He frowned as he looked at the woman.

As things stand, this woman is more troublesome than that white-haired brat.

His normal spiritual pressure was higher than that white-haired brat's.

Although he cannot unleash his Zanpakuto under the influence of the Baku-yōdō, his hand-to-hand combat skills are exceptionally formidable.

The extremely high spiritual pressure, coupled with the superior skill level of his opponent, made it somewhat difficult for him to cope.

What's going on with this squad?

How can just three seats have such strength?

Tenbei Shusuke really found it hard to understand.

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

"Halftime, time for a substitution, Vice Captain Tempe."

Tenbei Shusuke's face darkened, and he pointed his sword at Aozaki Mayuki.

"Aozaki Mayuki, so it was you, you damned bastard!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have returned to Soul Society ahead of schedule, nor would I have started the plan ahead of time."

"I certainly won't fall for your tricks and expose my identity!"

"You bastard, you're clearly cunning and ruthless, yet you pretend to be harmless."

In the end, only anger remained in Amagai Shusuke's voice.

I originally thought that Aozaki Mayuki was a fool like Yamamoto, and that I would have a chance to seize power in the Eleventh Division.

As a result, just a few days after joining the 11th Division, Kibune almost got killed by Kenpachi Zaraki.

In the eyes of those team members, he was just a clown.

Aozaki Mazuki: "..."

Sending people to follow you was Ichimaru Gin's job, what does it have to do with me?

I've been playing with little lolis in the real world these past few days, okay?!

Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!

Chapter 323 What are you?

Seeing Aozaki Mayuki standing there, seemingly waiting for him to make his move.

Tenbei Xiuzhu sneered, his face full of disdain and mockery, and said:

"Aren't you going to draw your sword? Standing in front of me empty-handed, are you an idiot?"

His tone was full of contempt, as if Aozaki Mayuki in front of him was just an insignificant ant.

"Or do you think this is enough to defend against the abilities of the Tapir Blade?"

"But what difference is there between a Shinigami who has lost his Zanpakuto and an ant?"

His voice carried a condescending tone, as if mocking Aozaki Mayuki's ignorance.

"And I regret to inform you that the Baku-yōtō can not only prevent the Zanpakutō from being released, but also suppress the Shinigami's spiritual power."

"As the Grim Reaper, you have no chance of winning!"

His laughter echoed in the air, filled with arrogance and conceit.

It seemed as if he had completely forgotten the scene of being kicked away by Jiu Nanbai just now.

In his view, it was impossible for every Shinigami to unleash such terrifying combat power without relying on a Zanpakuto.

In the original story, he thought that sealing Ryujin Jakka would allow him to defeat Yamamoto.

Seeing that Aozaki Mayuki hadn't made a move yet, Amagai Shusuke looked at him with a mocking gaze.

"It seems you truly dare not use the power of your Zanpakuto in front of me anymore."

"How foolish! You came to me just to die? Well then, I'll grant your wish."

Tenbei Xiuzhu raised his left hand with a smug look on his face.

At this moment, the tuning fork tapir blade is no longer just a weapon.

It transformed into a black dragon coiled around its arm, spitting out sharp blades that shimmered with green light from its mouth.

Accompanied by strange fluctuations

The power emanating from the blade spread towards Aozaki Mayuki and the Zanpakuto at his waist.

This is the unique ability of the tuning fork tapir blade—

They used sound waves to dissipate the Shinigami's spiritual power and prevent the release of their Zanpakuto.

Tenbei Xiuzhu was still somewhat worried.

Aozaki Mayuki's reputation is too great; we must take more prudent measures to completely eliminate the possibility of him using a Zanpakuto.

Just then, a strange flutter welled up in Tenbei Xiuzhu's heart.

He instinctively raised his Zanpakuto, holding the large seashell guard at the hilt across his chest as a form of defense.

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginable force surged from the shell-shaped handguard.

In Tenbei Shusuke's astonished gaze,

Aozaki Mayuki slowly extended her right hand, her slender index finger seemingly containing unparalleled power.

Just that one finger was enough to instill in Tenbei Shusuke an unprecedented sense of fear.

He tried his best to resist, but found that he was powerless to fight back.

next moment,

As Aozaki Mayuki's spiritual pressure trembled slightly.

Tenbei Shusuke was sent flying backwards as if hit by a cannonball.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted.

Tenbei Xiuzhu slammed heavily against the wall.

The wall, unable to bear the weight, collapsed with a crash.

Amidst the swirling dust,

His figure disappeared into the ruins, and his fate remains unknown.

"You think this is enough to satisfy me? It doesn't seem quite right!"

Aozaki Mayuki's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.

He casually waved his hands, seemingly unconcerned about the rather effective attack he had just received.

Release your Zanpakuto?

What a joke!

If you need to unleash your Zanpakuto to defeat Amagai Shusuke, then wouldn't fusing the Hogyoku be a waste?

Zanpakuto are completely unnecessary.

Moreover, he doesn't actually have a Zanpakuto in the real sense right now.

Even if one wanted to use those abilities, it would only take a thought.

But can this Mo Yao knife stop it?

I don't even have a knife, how are you going to find a partner?

A noble card player doesn't take partners, understand, kid?!

A deafening roar followed!

A hand emerged from the ruins.

Immediately afterwards, Tenbei Xiuzhu slowly crawled out.

Tenbei Shusuke stared intently at the Zanpakuto in his hand.

The cracks on it were clearly visible, which sent a chill down his spine.

How can this be?

That hand, which looked no different from an ordinary person's, merely flicked his hand lightly, and his Bankai suffered such severe damage!

If it weren't for the shell-shaped handguards blocking his way in time, he would probably be on his way to hell!

Where did this monster named Aozaki Mayuki come from?

Why is such a monster also a grim reaper?!

Is such a powerful physique something that even Death himself could possess?

"It's almost time!"

The sounds coming from ahead were eerily calm.
