Death: This Death is a bit unorthodox.

Looking in the direction from which the long fork came, shirtless Takasugi Hirofumi was making a "throwing" motion, blocking his path.

"You're asking for death!" Aozaki Mayuki snapped out of her daze and snorted coldly.

Facing Takasugi Hirofumi's all-out attack, Aozaki Mazuki showed no fear.

His expression was icy as he charged towards the long fork.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Wanxiang Senluo knocked away the flying fork.

Without pausing, Aozaki Mayuki burst into flames behind him and appeared in front of Takasugi Hirofumi in the next instant.

"A third-tier spiritual power, how could this be..."

Only then did Takasugi Hirofumi, who had just arrived on the battlefield, sense Aozaki Mayuki's spiritual pressure.

He was shocked, his face turned deathly pale, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

This is a fear I've never felt before.

He didn't know whether he was afraid of the other person's strength or their talent.

Or perhaps both.

Under his horrified gaze,

Aozaki Mayuki clenched his fist expressionlessly, and as the pillar of fire rose, he threw a powerful punch!

One Bone - Emperor Yan!

Rumble!!

A deafening explosion came from the ruins, and orange-red flames surged out like a monstrous wave. The sea of ​​fire, which blotted out the sky, transformed into a giant net that scattered death, leaving Takasugi Hirofumi with nowhere to escape.

His body turned charred instantly and shattered like glass or porcelain in a flash.

"Fool! You managed to escape from prison, but instead of trying to save your life, you dare to come here to die!"

Aozaki Mayuki cursed inwardly, but stopped abruptly in her tracks.

Next second,

Large amounts of rocks gushed out from the ground like spring water.

Aozaki Mayuki dodged by jumping backward.

One after another, massive rock walls rapidly closed in, filling the gaps and connecting together.

Looking down from above, this place resembles a giant gladiatorial arena.

The cries of the surveillance team members, rebels, and assassins could be faintly heard from all directions.

Aozaki Mayuki ignored him, and once again unleashed the power of the Soul-Forgetting Bird in his Wanxiang Senluo, slashing it against the giant rock wall.

Several shallow cracks appeared on the rock wall, which then quickly returned to their original state.

Chapter 102 Begging for Mercy

"Vice Captain Ōmaeda!! What's that!?"

"There are two powerful spiritual pressures fighting, one of which seems to belong to the Third Seat of the True Moon Sect. He has actually reached the third level of spiritual power!"

"That's the direction of the maggots' nest! Were they also attacked by the rebels?"

In the barracks of the Second Division, not far from the maggot's nest, the Second Division soldiers, who were fighting the rebels, suddenly shouted excitedly:

"Vice-Captain! The Maggot Nest has fallen... It was Oni-Ichijo Kenpachi who led the attack on the Maggot Nest, and Ichimaru Kyu-sei and the others are back!"

"It was Third Seat Shingetsu who saved them; he's stopping Kenpachi Oni-Ichiro!!"

"What!?"

Ōmaeda Kinosugu exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly slashed down a rebel soldier and grabbed a soldier by the collar.

"Are you telling the truth? Kigenjo Kenpachi has betrayed us?"

"It was Soi Fon, the commander-in-chief's personal bodyguard, who said that the commander-in-chief ordered us to end the battle as soon as possible and rush to provide support!"

"Damn it, fucking bastard." Ōmaeda Kinoshita was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then gritted his teeth and decisively activated his Shikai, transforming his long sword into a giant spiked club. "Damn Oni Ichijō!"

Where is Lord Yoruichi?

"Our captain is entangled with an enemy with bizarre abilities!" a member of the squad said.

The moment the words left his mouth, Noriyuki Omaeda's face darkened.

On the other side of the barracks, Yoruichi Shihouin felt the spiritual pressure from afar, feeling anxious but helpless.

She suddenly seemed to sense something, and lightning flashed beneath her feet as she swiftly retreated.

Almost at the same moment she moved, a wave slashed across the water, carving out a deep ravine.

Yoruichi Shihouin raised her head, her anger barely concealed.

In the darkness of night, a figure wearing a demon mask with fangs and dressed in an elegant kimono slowly approached.

He had short, dark green hair, a slender build, and carried a Zanpakuto in one hand.

Yoruichi Shihōin frowned slightly.

She had a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen the person in front of her somewhere before.

It's obvious from looking at him that this person is likely a true nobleman.

However, Yoruichi had met quite a few nobles, so she found it difficult to determine the identity of the newcomer.

But that Zanpakuto...

Yoruichi Shihouin's gaze shifted to the Zanpakuto in the masked man's hand.

This Zanpakuto has a strange ability: it can reflect attacks.

"Not bad, right? I heard it cost a lot of money to borrow it from those old guys."

The masked man twirled his knife and chuckled.

"It's a pity I can't let you see my Zanpakuto. I don't even know where I lost it."

Yoruichi Shihouin's pupils contracted.

There are very few families in Soul Society that pass down Zanpakuto; she only knows of two.

—The Tsuna-Yayo family and the Ise family.

Considering the rebels' actions, their identity becomes quite clear.

The Zanpakuto's abilities are different from what I remember, but I can't think of any other families that possess a Zanpakuto that has been passed down through generations.

"I've heard of you. You should be under house arrest!"

How could you be so naive?

The masked man chuckled, "The Central Bureau of 46 put me under house arrest by those old guys. Whether I can get out or not is entirely up to them."

After saying that, he suddenly swung his Zanpakuto.

Clang!

Yoruichi Shihouin raised her short sword to block the attack.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yoruichi Shihouin used the opportunity to withdraw.

"You want to go find him!?"

The masked man seemed to have anticipated her actions, chuckled, and rushed forward, teasingly saying:

"Your little sweetheart is quite formidable, managing to fight that guy this long. But at this rate, he probably won't last much longer!"

"Then I'll finish you off quickly!" Yoruichi Shihouin gritted her teeth and raised her sword to stab him in the chest.

…………

Kiyan Chengjian looked down at the genius in front of him with a disdainful expression and sneered:

"Aozaki Mayuki, do you think you can escape from me by such despicable means?"

"You can't escape."

Oni Kenpachi looked at the rock wall that Aozaki Mayuki had slashed.

"Feeling helpless, aren't you? You were just like Gosuke back then. Why don't you learn from him and kneel down to beg for mercy? Maybe I can spare your life."

Aozaki Mayuki calmly turned around, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:

"Begging for mercy? I remember Hana-nee said that although Kenpachi Gosuke lost, he fought to the very end, right?"

"Hana-nee? Unohana Retsu? That damned woman really loves to nag!"

Having his lie exposed, Oni Kenpachi seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Aozaki Mayuki said, "You really are a nasty person. No wonder nobody likes you!"

"You brat, you're asking for it!!"

A furious roar echoed within the "arena".

Oni Yancheng Kenpachi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes gleaming with a blood-red ferocity, and his pupils were surrounded by dense blood vessels.

"You dare to look down on me? Then you might as well die!!"

Looking at Aozaki Mayuki's smiling face, he recalled a series of annoying faces, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Why do you damn guys always have to find fault with me?

So what if I come from Rukongai? So what if I'm rude and irritable? So what if I don't fit in with you?

I killed that good-for-nothing, and I became the captain of the Gotei 13!

I am the tenth Kenpachi!

A bunch of damned bastards, how dare they look down on me! One day, I'll kill you all!

With the spiritual pressure of his Bankai, he became even faster.

Aozaki Mayuki felt a blur before her eyes, and the figure of Onigenjo Kenpachi appeared before her, his giant rock-formed sword slashing horizontally.

In his haste, he raised the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe to defend himself, but the immense force caused him to slide several steps on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
