Death's Hidden Mobile

Teng.

Xia Yan's figure suddenly disappeared, and with a "poof", blue light bloomed on the back of Kenpachi Zaraki's thigh, and blood splattered out.

"it is good!"

Kenpachi Zaraki turned around again and slashed at Natsuhiko, but Natsuhiko disappeared once more and reappeared behind Kenpachi Zaraki, stabbing him in the back with his sword.

Since he wants to kill me, I must also use a deadly move and directly attack his vital points.

boom.

Xia Yan's sword did not pierce Kenpachi Zaraki at all; instead, it was blocked by Kenpachi's sword.

"Hehe, I caught up with you."

After blocking Natsuhiko's sword, Kenpachi Zaraki slashed down again.

This time, his slash was even faster, so fast that even Xia Yan couldn't completely dodge it using his Instant Roar (Remnant).

Why can it be even faster?

A sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in Xia Yan's heart. The opponent's slashing speed increased again and again, and he had no way to dodge it.

"what!"

Xia Yan roared and raised his Zanpakuto to block in front of him.

boom.

Xia Yan was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall, shattering it, and rolling backward.

"Wow."

Xia Yan lay on the ground, vomiting blood continuously, a result of internal organ damage.

As Xia Yan watched Kenpachi Zaraki slowly approach, despair slowly crept into his heart.

Why is he so powerful?

Even after using Instant Smash, there was still no ability to retaliate.

Moreover, why did he want to kill himself?

Xia Yan had never felt so desperate. He struggled to his feet, gripped the knife tightly, and once again activated Instant Roar (Remnant).

puff.

Before Xia Yan's body could react, Kenpachi Zaraki's sword had already pierced through Xia Yan's abdomen.

how come?

Xia Yan looked at the knife in his abdomen and felt a chill run through his body as the lightning on his limbs slowly faded away.

Seeing this, Kenpachi Zaraki didn't use his long sword. Instead, he kicked him away, sending him crashing into the opposite wall. The wall shattered, and Natsuhiko fell into the ruins.

At this moment, Xia Yan had two wounds on his chest from which blood was flowing, and his abdomen was bleeding profusely. His internal organs were injured, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

He lay in the ruins, feeling his life slowly slipping away.

"You're so weak, you're no fun at all. I'll kill you now."

Kenpachi Zaraki walked up to Natsuhiko, raised his sword, and pointed the tip of the blade at the sky.

His figure blocked out the sky, replacing the sun and casting shadows onto Xia Yan's face. It was as if it were a punishment from heaven, meant to kill Xia Yan here.

But why?

Why did he want to kill himself?

Xia Yan was completely baffled, yet he could not change the fact that he was about to die. His eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was filled with resentment.

I don't want to die yet.

I still have a lot to do. I haven't spent enough time with my friends yet, and I haven't stopped Aizen's plot.

How could I die here?

However, he couldn't move; his arms and legs had lost all strength, and he couldn't even gather spiritual energy.

Unable to resist, his knife was about to fall.

But I really don't want to die!

Just as Xia Yan was shouting in his heart, a voice rang in his mind.

Do you want to defeat your opponent?

"of course."

"Then call me."

"who are you?"

"my name is……"

Chapter 47: Land Now (Fourth Update)

"Descend, Tenraimaru."

With a low murmur from Xia Yan, the Zanpakuto in his hand vanished.

I don't know when it started, but thick dark clouds appeared in the sky. The clouds kept gathering and stood like a city wall on the horizon.

And amidst the dark clouds, blue arcs of electricity flashed.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, Kenpachi Zaraki stopped what he was doing and looked up at the sky.

Boom, boom, boom.

A deafening clap of thunder sounded, growing louder and louder.

boom!

Another loud bang, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, landing right in front of Xia Yan.

Xia Yan, who was lying there, suddenly reached out and grabbed the lightning.

The next moment, the lightning transformed into a short spear, about four feet three inches long, entirely azure blue, with four ridges on the spearhead, the tip gleaming with a cold light.

The short gun was enveloped in blue electric light, and arcs of electricity traveled along Xia Yan's right arm into his body, enveloping him and flashing continuously.

"This is your initial interpretation? It's getting more and more interesting."

Kenpachi Zaraki saw Natsuhiko's change and a happy smile appeared on his face as he raised his sword high.

Xia Yan slowly stood up, looked at Kenpachi Zaraki with a calm expression, and said, "Captain Zaraki, please take off your blindfold, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll kill you."

Kenpachi Zaraki is incredibly powerful, possessing not only the limitations of his eyepatch but also his own seal.

His hidden strength is formidable, but if I were to unleash power far exceeding what I'm currently displaying, I could very well kill him outright.

Kenpachi Zaraki wanted to kill him, so Natsuhiko naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; he wouldn't hold back.

However, Xia Yan was unwilling to fight an opponent who was hiding his true strength. He couldn't fight the version of himself from a thousand years ago, but he at least wanted to make him take off his blindfold before defeating him.

"Very good, you're finally acting like a man, no longer that hypocritical child."

Kenpachi Zaraki reached out and removed his blindfold, and in the next moment, an overwhelming spiritual pressure surged straight into the sky.

Xia Yan sensed the opponent's immense power and a smile appeared on his lips.

"bring it on."

. . .

"What is this? Such a huge dark cloud, but it's only in that area. It's not a Kido, it must be the power of a Zanpakuto. Such power is truly not to be underestimated."

Kyoraku Shunsui sat in the pavilion of the team barracks, holding a wine glass in his hand, gazing at the distant sky.

But then his expression changed.

"That spiritual pressure...it's Zaraki. Are they fighting?"

. . .

Chojiro Sasakibara, commander of the Gotei 13, looked at the distant horizon and said, "It's an elemental Zanpakuto."

Across from him, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni frowned and said, "Suzumebe, this Zanpakuto can affect the weather; it's already comparable to your Bankai. Who is it?"

Chojiro Sasaki said with a smile, "Captain, there's no need to rush. You'll know after the battle."

. . .

In the Fifth Division, Aizen Sousuke sat in a chair, looking at the sky outside the window, and gently asked, "Gintoki, do you remember which Zanpakuto can affect the weather?"

Beside Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, the current vice-captain of the Fifth Division, said with a smile, "The First Division Vice-Captain Sasakibe's Koukami Genryumaru, and the Tenth Division's Third Seat Toshiro Hitsugaya's Hyorinmaru. As for the Captain-Commander's Ryujin Jakka, it can shake the weather with its intense heat."

Aizen smiled and said, "It seems another one has appeared, but I wonder who it will be."

. . .

Retsu Unohana of the Fourth Division sat under the eaves, holding a teacup in her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "The position of the Eleventh Division? This spiritual pressure... that kid Zaraki went all out."

. . .

The strange celestial phenomena and the spiritual pressure emanating from Kenpachi Zaraki caused a stir among the people of Seireitei, and the members of the Eleventh Division who were closer to the battle site had already retreated to a distance.

The two people who caused the celestial phenomenon were standing face to face, staring at each other, not daring to relax for a moment.

"What good is mastering the initial understanding?"

With a loud shout, Kenpachi Zaraki launched the first attack, leaping to stand in front of Natsuhiko and slashing at him with his sword.

This strike, carrying immense power, shattered the air and arrived before Xia Yan in an instant, accompanied by a whooshing sound.

Faster speed, greater power.

If it were Natsuhiko before his Shikai release, he wouldn't have been able to dodge it at all; a single strike would have killed him.

But now, Kenpachi Zaraki abruptly stopped his downward slash and instead swung his sword upwards.

boom.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the sword in Kenpachi Zaraki's hand.
