The Alchemist in Bleach

So after only a brief pause, Ichiro charged forward again!

Urahara and his two companions recovered from their brief shock, exchanged a glance, and charged forward again!

This time, the enemy dared not be so arrogant as to take Ichiro's attack head-on, and they were somewhat overwhelmed by the four-man onslaught.

"Damn it!" A fierce glint flashed in the enemy's eyes. He could no longer care about the guy in the shadows. If this continued, he would lose even without the guy making a move!

Holding the sword in one hand, he swung it forcefully and shouted:

"Howl, wind!"

"call!"

In an instant, a gust of wind swept in, blowing Ichiro and the others away and slamming them hard against the academy wall, causing the already battered wall to shake again.

"Ha~ Aha~ I must say, I underestimated you all, but that's enough for now!"

After saying that, a wind blade flew towards Ichiro and his guards!

"Pfft!"

------------

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Reconstruct! World!

An unexpected scene unfolded: just as the wind blade was about to strike, Ichiro grabbed the guard beside him, pulled him by the collar, and used him as a shield in front of himself!

Seeing the blood blooming behind the guard, the enemy was stunned. What was going on?

Aren't they in cahoots? It seems like I'm the villain, right?

They might be stunned, but the absolutely rational Ichiro wouldn't. Looking at the enemy whose spiritual pressure had increased several times over, Ichiro's eyes flickered, and his free left hand rested on his Zanpakuto. The blood-stained alchemy circle in his sleeve glowed slightly, and Ichiro's spirit instantly sank into the spiritual world of the Zanpakuto!

When Ichiro opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark space. Countless white specks of light drifted down like snowflakes. The amazing thing was that when you focused your attention on a particular "snowflake," you would see something in it—it could be an animal, a building, or a natural landscape. Each "snowflake" was different.

In front of Ichiro was a girl dressed in a white palace dress, who was crying. However, although she was crying, her tears were tears of joy, because behind the tears was an even brighter smile.

"Lord Ichiro...you've finally come..." The girl couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Overwhelmed with joy, she forgot that Ichiro, who could no longer even hear her voice, could not possibly have entered this place without her knowledge.

She didn't even notice Ichiro's cold eyes...

"Snapped!"

Amidst the girl's incredulous gaze, Ichiro grabbed her by the throat, slowly lifting her up. The light of the transmutation circle flashed and disappeared, along with Ichiro's figure...

After Ichiro left, the girl slumped to the ground, a desolate smile on her face. She already knew why Ichiro had come in...

"Lord Ichiro... Hehehehehe... Lord Ichiro hahaha, Lord hahahaha..."

This woman... has finally gone mad...

Outside, after Ichiro regained consciousness, he tossed aside the "meat shield" in his hand, slowly stood up, drew his Zanpakuto from his waist, his gaze lingered briefly on the cracks on it, but he didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he held the Zanpakuto upside down and looked at the enemy, uttering without a trace of emotion: "Reconstruct! World!"

A miraculous scene unfolded: the radiance of spiritual energy rose from the tip of the blade, gradually engulfing the entire blade. Its shape remained unchanged, but Ichiro's spiritual pressure, which had quadrupled, indicated that this was the Shikai!

The enemy was on high alert, and every Zanpakuto they wielded was a formidable weapon. Suddenly, Urahara shouted, "Ichiro, that guy is a vital asset! Save him!"

Upon hearing this, Ichiro casually slashed the guard with his sword, then charged towards the enemy without expression.

A spiritual light slowly emerged from the guard's back, and after the light faded, the injury miraculously disappeared!

The enemy's pupils contracted. 'A healing Zanpakuto? Or something else?' Thinking this, he swung his Zanpakuto, sending a gust of wind towards Ichiro. He then turned to parry Urahara and Yoruichi's attacks, engaging them in combat once more while keeping a close eye on Ichiro's movements.

On the other side, facing the oncoming gale, Ichiro simply waved his Zanpakuto, and the gale vanished as if it had never existed...

Reconstruct the World: It can decompose all things in the world into spirit particles and recombine them, similar to spirit particle alchemy, but stronger because it can fundamentally change matter.

Even so, if Ichiro had to choose, he would still choose alchemy, even though Zanpakuto seems stronger. Of course, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't use such a crude method of selection.

The gale posed no obstacle to Ichiro, who quickly broke through to the enemy's side again, raised his Zanpakuto high, and slashed it down directly at the enemy's head!

Sword drawn, block their way!

The blade fell, and the blade broke!

Amidst the enemy's astonished gaze, Ichiro's sword flashed with a burst of spiritual light, severing his Zanpakuto and his spiritual pressure defense, leaving a gaping wound in his chest!

Blood flew everywhere. Ichiro twirled his Zanpakuto, preparing to finish him off, but halfway through the swing, the sword's light dissipated, and its Shikai suddenly dissipated. Although the Zanpakuto still struck the enemy, it lacked the smooth feel of before, leaving only a shallow wound.

"Ha!" The enemy was stunned for a moment, then grinned maliciously, kicked Ichiro away, and was about to continue the pursuit!

"Bind him! Hong Ji!"

A series of dark red spiritual pressure bands immediately wrapped around him, binding him firmly in place. At the same time, in order to strengthen the binding effect, Urahara paid special attention to his wounds, exacerbating his pain!

"Play with fire, Benihime! Link the prayer beads!"

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of explosions worsened the enemy's injuries, leaving them without the strength to break free from Urahara's grasp. However, the attack was not over yet...

The instant the explosion stopped, Yoruichi's figure suddenly appeared above, her right fist raised high!

"boom!"

"Ughh ...

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

Yoruichi's fists, glowing with white light, rained down on the enemy. The cracks in the ground, originally caused by Ichiro's gunpowder, began to expand further. If this continued, the entire area might collapse!

Fortunately, his body wasn't that sturdy. After being punched more than a dozen times, a round head flew high into the air and then landed on the ground. Yoruichi slowly stopped moving and sat on the corpse, panting heavily.

They won...

But it was only a Pyrrhic victory...

Urahara was covered in knife wounds, some of which even exposed the bone.

Besides the knife wounds all over her body, Yoruichi's most serious injury is her hands, which are covered in burns. Although she has started researching instant opening, it is still in its infancy and will cause considerable damage to her body.

Ichiro suffered minor muscle ruptures, extensive internal injuries, and multiple bone fractures. His enemy died a little too soon, before he could complete his body tempering. Then, his absolute rationality ended, and his chaotic emotions returned. Under these circumstances, he simply couldn't complete the refined body tempering.

Of course, the most damaging weapon is the Zanpakuto...

He made one mistake in this battle. Before using absolute rationality, he made two mistakes in his settings. First, he forgot that there was a guard on the battlefield who was not a student... so the farcical incident of using him as a human shield occurred.

Secondly, the Zanpakuto wasn't included in the design, which led to him abruptly acquiring the Shikai name and completely breaking ties with the Zanpakuto...

However, only the three of them were seriously injured. Although the guard had voluntarily taken a knife for Ichiro, Ichiro had treated his injuries almost completely afterward, so he was actually the one with the lightest injuries among them.

Just like in a movie, the battle had just ended when the school guards, scared half to death, arrived...

Meanwhile...

------------

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Number One Villain in Soul Society!

On the other side, in front of the gate of a noble mansion, there was a highly concealed barrier. Inside the barrier were several big shots: the captain of the second division representing the nobles, the commander of the Xingjun Army, Shihouin Seigan (the captain is a fictional character, not mentioned in the original work), and Kuchiki Ginrin, the captain of the sixth division.

The former Captain-Commander-in-Chief, the current Captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui, the current Captain-Commander-in-Chief, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the former Captain of the 11th Division, and the current Captain of the 4th Division, Unohana Retsu.

The five men, a truly formidable group, stood quietly in front of the rebel headquarters, waiting for their chance.

Just as Ichiro had thought, the Captain-Commander never took this rebellion seriously from beginning to end, because as long as it wasn't led by a few special captains of the Thirteenth Division, he could easily wipe it out!

The reason it's been so long is mainly because the Central 46th Bureau is making trouble, and the Chief Commander is happy to do so, as it's a good opportunity to clean up the Seireitei and prevent any kind of monsters from jumping out.

However, he clearly hadn't expected that these people would be so audacious as to dare to attack the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy...

At that moment, a Shinigami suddenly appeared and began to report on the situation at the academy. When he heard that a large number of Shinigami had broken into the academy, Kyoraku Shunsui's originally lazy eyes instantly turned sharp, and the wooden Zanpakuto wrapped around the Captain-Commander was instantly burned!

Intense spiritual energy kept surging from his body!

"Captain, the situation over there should be under control. The most urgent task now is to catch more rats!" Kuchiki Ginryu frowned and suggested.

The captain paused for a moment, the blazing spiritual energy slowly dissipating. Kuchiki Ginryu was right, things had stabilized over there, and getting angry rashly would lead to all previous efforts being wasted. However, he suppressed his anger in his heart.

"Continue. What was their purpose in storming the academy?" Seeing that the captain had suppressed his anger, Kuchiki Ginryu breathed a sigh of relief and calmly asked.

However, to Kuchiki Ginryu's surprise, the Grim Reaper did not answer directly, but looked at her with slight concern, seemingly somewhat afraid.

Kuchiki Ginryu frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say! What haven't the people here seen?"

"..." The Grim Reaper hesitated for a moment, then said, "Their target is... Miss Kuchiki Tsukishiro, who is studying at the Shinigami Academy..."

"boom!"

A violent spiritual pressure erupted from Kuchiki Ginryu's body; if the barrier hadn't been so advanced, they would have already been exposed.

The captain frowned, wanting to reprimand him, but after considering his own actions and the status of the four noble families, he ultimately remained silent.

"Dare to attack the four great noble families... and even my Kuchiki clan... This is unheard of! What audacity! It seems some people really can't hold back anymore!" After gritting her teeth and saying this, Kuchiki Ginryu slowly drew her Zanpakuto and asked, "Is Tsukishiki alright?"

"Rest assured, my lord, Miss Yuexi is unharmed."

After hearing this, Shihouin Seigan pressed down on Kuchiki Ginryu's Zanpakuto, giving him a way out, and said, "Alright, since he's alright, let's wait a little longer. A few more minutes won't make a difference."

Then, turning to the messenger, Death, he instructed, "Alright, if there's nothing else, go down there. Keep watch on the main roads, and don't let anyone escape!"

However, the Grim Reaper didn't leave. Instead, he lowered his head and continued, "Commander, the young lady and her close friend Kisuke Urahara have been severely injured and are currently receiving emergency treatment..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

……

After a long silence, with Shihouin Seigan's hand still resting on Kuchiki Ginryu's Zanpakuto, the scene became extremely awkward...

They all knew they couldn't act now; closing in now would cause a lot of unnecessary losses, which they didn't want to see. However, the four noble families had been thoroughly humiliated; could they really tolerate this?

Especially for Shihouin Seigan, the Kuchiki family was only attacked by a collateral branch and were unharmed, but Yoruichi was his own daughter!

The next head of Shihōin!

Seeing the awkwardness of the group, Captain Unohana chuckled. Her purpose here was now evident. She said, "Captain Shihouin, please rest assured. As far as I know, your daughter is very close to our squad's intern, Tenshin Ichiro. Although Ichiro has not yet graduated, his knowledge is among the best in the entire Soul Society. Most injuries can't faze him. With him here, everything should be fine."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the awkward atmosphere quietly dissipated. In fact, just as mentioned earlier, the matter over there had already come to an end, and there was no point in rushing things here now. Since safety could be confirmed, it was best to proceed according to plan.

However, upon hearing Ichiro's name, Xing Jun, on the other side, felt cold sweat pouring down his back as he relayed the message to Death. Seeing this, Kyoraku Shunsui gradually had a bad feeling...

"What other information do you have? Tell us all at once, and we won't interrupt you..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to him, and seeing his panicked expression, a bad premonition slowly rose in their hearts...
