The Alchemist in Bleach

Heavenly Moon!

Or rather, Tsunayo Megumi!

That woman who pretended to be Ichiro's sister and sought refuge with his Tsunayoshi clan!

That woman, who has the ability to foresee the future.

To be honest, although she was quite capable, Ichiro never really valued her. He only used her as a pawn to manipulate the Shiba family's barrier.

Unfortunately, the plan had barely been set up when the Shiba family was wiped out, and then, that was it. Could they possibly bring down the Tsuna-Yayo family?

That's unrealistic.

So gradually Ichiro stopped paying attention to her and let her fend for herself, since Ichiro had already replicated a sample of her Zanpakuto's abilities.

To his surprise, she actually went to Tsunayoshiro's stall...

You're really brave!

After all, according to her, the "future" is that Tsunayoshi Tokichi hires someone to kill them, so is this some new future she saw?

Hidden behind a pillar, Ichiro quietly watched the two's conversation.

Unfortunately, before they could even begin talking, the two of them simultaneously looked in Ichiro's direction, and at the same time, Tsunayoshi Tokita drew the Enrakage-no-Kage from his waist.

"Do you intend to continue hiding?"

"Tsk~ Strange, how did you find me? You were all hiding behind the spirit, you should have been foolproof. Little girl, can you explain this to me?" Ichiro looked troubled, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Tsunayoshi Emi with a puzzled expression, making up a lie even though he already knew the answer.

'This outfit... Quincy? What's on the back of the spirit particle?'

Despite having many doubts in her heart, Tsunayoshi Toki didn't show them. She just looked coldly at Ichiro and then pointed at Ichiro with Enra Kagami.

"Respectfully presented, Nine Heavens Mirror Valley!"

"State your name, Quincy!"

"Heh~" Ichiro chuckled lightly, his two pistols converging in his hands and crossing them in front of his chest, the muzzles pointing diagonally towards the sky, as he calmly replied, "Yoha Jiuhe~"

Chapter 258 When poor, employ tactical maneuvers; when rich, use...

"Yhwach? A remnant of the pureblood Quincy?" Tsunayoshi Tokitan's expression was slightly solemn. Although he didn't know what connection Yhwach had with Bach, he knew Yhwach!

A powerful figure who nearly destroyed the Seireitei hundreds of years ago. If it weren't for the Captain-Commander leading the first Thirteen Divisions to emerge, the Seireitei would probably be in a different state by now.

Who knows?

What is your purpose?

"Uh~ Dual pistols will tell you the answer~" With that, he fired a thick spiritual beam of energy at Tsunayoshi Tokina with the pistol in his right hand, a beam of energy comparable to a Cero.

"call out!"

Unfortunately, the biggest drawback of firearms in individual combat is that their trajectories are too obvious and easily predictable. Therefore, unless speed provides an absolute advantage, they are difficult to be effective.

For example, at this moment, the trajectory of the spirit bullet was directly predicted by Tsunayo Tokito and deflected back with a counterattack using the ability of the Enra Mirror Classic.

"Flying Kick!"

Unfortunately, Ichiro had anticipated this situation. The instant the Spirit Beam was unleashed, he used the Flying Kick to change his position and land behind Tsunayoshi Tokishiro.

He raised his left hand and aimed the gun at Tsunayoshi Tokihiro!

"boom!"

The gun barrel was slightly raised, and a live bullet flew out quickly!

"Your gun is too slow!"

Tsunayoshi turned around, his hand holding the Enrakage-no-Kage to block the incoming bullets. Unfortunately, the situation wasn't quite what he expected...

"Canopy!"

The bullet disintegrated instantly halfway through its flight, transforming into hundreds of beams of spiritual energy that scattered like flowers from a celestial maiden's shower!

Unfortunately, this beautiful scene brought only endless murderous intent to Tsunayoshiro Tokito and Tsunayoshiro Megumi.

Feeling the sharpness of the spirit arrows, Tsunayoshi Toki's expression changed, and he instantly abandoned his plan to use the Mirror of Beauty to deflect the attacks. There were too many of them, and he couldn't possibly withstand them all, especially since there were two of them.

"Binding Spell Number Eighty-One: Severing the Void!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Some of the hundreds of spiritual beams were blocked by the void, while others crashed to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

Immediately afterward, before Tsunayoshi could even set out to search for Ichiro's whereabouts and launch a counterattack, a thick beam of spiritual energy struck him from the side!

"Cut~"

He originally intended to dodge, but after glancing at Tsunayo Megumi, he gritted his teeth and ultimately decided to block the attack again. He knew that if he withdrew, Tsunayo Megumi would be doomed, and this woman was still useful to him.

However, there was no time to use the reflective attack of the Yanluo Mirror, so he had no choice but to hold the sword with both hands and slash directly at the thick beam of spiritual energy!

"boom!"

"Flying Kick!"

In an instant, Ichiro's figure appeared behind Tsunayoshi Toki, between him and Emi.

"Hiss~"

"A weapon that can sever the soul!"

Spiritual particles swiftly flowed from Ichiro's sleeve, coiling around the gun and condensing into two light blades!

The object that cuts through souls is the only melee weapon used by Quincy; its high-speed vibrating spiritual particles grant it considerable cutting power.

Unfortunately, Quincy rarely use them in direct combat like Ichiro; they are mostly used in conjunction with Quincy techniques.

"Hiss~"

Unfortunately, although Ichiro was fast, Tsunayoshiro was not weak either. While fighting against the spirit beam, he quickly adjusted his body and barely avoided Ichiro's slash.

Meanwhile, Tsuna Yashiro Megumi seemed to have used her Zanpakuto's ability to foresee the future to dodge the attack in advance.

Having missed his first attack, Ichiro immediately used the Flying Kick to create distance, looking at Tsunayo Emi from afar with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Although he had analyzed the data of her Zanpakuto's abilities, he had not created a corresponding Zanpakuto. Therefore, he was still somewhat curious about the practical application of predicting the future. For example, could he still accurately predict the future if the spiritual pressure difference was too great?

It seems that it should be possible now...

This rekindled Ichiro's interest in this ability. Previously, it was because of the power of time, but that had been largely analyzed, so it was practically useless in that area. With a little effort, he could even research the precognitive demonic path.

What has piqued Ichiro's interest now is the fact that this Zanpakuto ignores differences in spiritual pressure. If it's truly as he thinks, the gains will be enormous!

"Sipping the essence of the four seas, dwelling at the ends of the earth, all things are reflected and cut, like a beautiful mirror!"

"boom!"

Just as Ichiro was focusing on Tsunayo Megumi, Tsunayo Tokitan, on the other side, looked at her torn sleeve and felt a surge of anger rising in her heart. She looked coldly at Ichiro and directly released the Shikai of the Enra Kyōden, copying Ryūjin Jakka!

The towering flames attracted the attention of almost everyone, including the people in the Seireitei who were rushing over. After all, this was the Captain-Commander's Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka!

"This is... Ryujin Jakka?" Not far away, Urahara and his group stopped and looked at the towering pillar of fire with some amazement.

Every time he saw the Captain-Commander's Shikai, he was deeply shocked. This power was just too strong!

Even if this is a weakened version of Ryujin Jakka, it's the same.

Of course, what shocked them even more at this moment was: who exactly was that Quincy? How could he be so strong, and why was he helping them?

Maybe......

Hirako and the others focused their attention on Urahara. It was reasonable for them not to recognize this person, and the only explanation was that he was someone Urahara had invited...

To their surprise, Urahara also looked completely astonished.

Seeing the genuine surprise on Urahara's face, Hirako frowned: "You don't know who he is either?"

Urahara shook his head.

"I don't know. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any Quincy like that now, at least not on the surface, and there's no reason for them to help us."

Hirako raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Kensei Rokusha. The two keenly realized that Urahara was referring to the open world, meaning that there were indeed high-level Quincy in secret.

However, the two of them didn't care too much. No matter how strong they were, that was something the Seireitei should care about. Why should these fugitives worry about it?

Instead, we should be more concerned about who this Quincy is who is helping them, and what their purpose is...

They truly felt frustrated by being led by the nose!

“Actually, I do know who it is~” Yoruichi said from the side.

"Who?"

"Besides him, who else would help you at this time? In the Seireitei, no one understands Quincy better than him, so it's not surprising that he could do something like this."

"But that's not right, that guy should have been knocked out by the medicine!"

Yoruichi looked helplessly at Urahara, who was still stubbornly clinging to the truth despite already having guessed it: "What was the score when you two were trying to outwit each other before?"

"Eight thousand three hundred and eighty-four compared to eight thousand three hundred and eighty-three, I get four, he gets three."

"That settles it, you two are even again~"

"...Tsk~ What a busybody. Why don't you just go to sleep quietly?"

Yoruichi rolled her eyes at the stubborn Urahara, then turned and walked toward the open black cavity behind her.

"Let's go, don't let their efforts go to waste, otherwise we really won't be able to leave."

"The world's enemy is the Eye Monk, will we be alright?"

"Do you think that with Ichiro around, the Eye Monk would be a match for the world?"

"..." Thinking of Ichiro's abnormal abilities, Urahara paused for a moment, then turned and walked towards the shady area. "That's true. Let's go, everyone, and embrace a new life~"

After taking one last look at the towering pillar of fire, the group severed their last lingering attachment to the Seireitei and resolutely followed Urahara into the Black Chamber, bidding a final farewell to the Seireitei!
