The Alchemist in Bleach

This is a barrier that shields their spiritual pressure!

This is the true target of the One Heart Crescent Moon Sky Slash!

Unfortunately, although those Gillian in front were weak to Isshin, they were still more than a dozen Hollows, not some easy targets. Therefore, the power of Getsuga Tenshou was reduced, and it did not break the barrier, but only caused it to fluctuate violently.

However, this was exactly what Ichishin had expected.

This whole scheme was designed to lure him in. If the barrier was so easily broken, it would only disappoint him. He never intended to break the barrier; as long as it fluctuated, that would be enough!

While the barrier was fluctuating, he had already submitted a request to the Seireitei to remove the spiritual pressure. Although he was no longer able to contact the Seireitei after being enveloped by the barrier again, he was unable to further explain the reasons for his request.

However, the current operating mechanism of the Seireitei is not so rigid, especially now that Hollows frequently appear in the human world. The 12th Division has explicit regulations that once a request to lift the spiritual pressure restriction is received, the spiritual pressure restriction of that area must be lifted within 30 seconds, regardless of whether there is any follow-up news.

So he wasn't in a hurry at all.

At the same time, the moment the barrier fluctuated, Urahara and Ishida Ryūgen, who were far away in Karakura Town, both raised their eyebrows and looked in the direction of Naruki City, their expressions somewhat solemn!

'So much spiritual pressure... what's going on?'

'This spiritual pressure... Aizen!'

The two had different focuses, but the goal was the same. In just a moment, they made a decision and set off from the general store and the hospital respectively, rushing to Naruki City!

.......

Naruki City.

After sending the signal, Isshin held his knife in one hand, leisurely watching the remaining few Hollows. He watched with great interest as they recovered from their injuries through super-fast regeneration, completely disregarding them. In any case, in thirty seconds, these minions wouldn't even be qualified to approach him.

Time ticked by, ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds...

A minute later, the five Hollows had fully recovered from their injuries. Although their auras were much weaker, it would not affect their combat power in the short term. Their momentum was still terrifying, and the sense of spatial tearing around them was becoming stronger. Hollow reinforcements could arrive at any time.

However.......

Yixin's expression, however, turned completely dark...

The spiritual pressure restriction has not been lifted!

To be honest, this was something I never expected!

He never expected that even the Twelfth Division had been infiltrated by those nobles!

Isn't the 12th Division supposed to be the most innocent place, where everyone is focused solely on research?

Rumors can be misleading!

Blanch!

But there's no use thinking about that now. The most urgent thing is to get rid of these small fry so they won't get in the way later. Every little bit of pressure we can reduce is something.

Thinking this, Isshin bit his finger, smeared the blood on his lips, and spat it out. Instantly, blazing flames enveloped the Zanpakuto, Satsuki.

"Flying Crane!"

With a single swing of his sword, several fiery slashes flew out, perfectly incinerating the masked heads of three Hollows.

Then, he nimbly dodged the incoming phantom bullets.

'This is... combat coordination? When did Gillian develop this kind of combat intelligence? So these Hollows are from Hueco Mundo? Things are getting complicated again~'

Watching the Hollow bullets pass by, Isshin sighed inwardly, put aside all other thoughts, and quickly rushed to a Hollow, slaying it with a single strike!

Immediately afterward, taking advantage of the fact that the Hollow was bound by the Six Staffs of Light before it could break free, he swiftly moved in front of another Hollow and killed it with a single strike!

Just then, the last Hollow broke free of its restraints, and the blinding red light shone once more!

Isshin's pupils contracted, and just as he was about to withdraw, an orange-haired high school girl suddenly appeared, holding a delicate bow and arrow. With a flick of her wrist, a sharp arrow materialized, piercing the sky and exploding directly in the head!

"boom!"

Seeing this, Isshin instinctively used Shunpo to dodge from his original position, then looked in surprise at the girl who had killed a Hollow with an arrow. He tapped his toes and suddenly appeared in front of the girl, looking at her with a puzzled expression and asking, "Queen Exterminator?"

"Are there any other possibilities?" The girl playfully raised the spirit bow in her hand, then asked, "Why are there so many Hollows here? I remember we abandoned our research on related drugs a long time ago."

"I don't know, but it shouldn't have anything to do with you Quincy. They're coming for me."

"At your expense? Uncle, are you a nobleman?" The girl put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and looked at Isshin curiously.

"That's about enough, you should leave now, something even more important is coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space at the center of the barrier was suddenly torn open, and a huge black cavity appeared!

Hundreds of Hollows Gryphons and three Adjuchas emerged from them!

Plus a Vastod-level Hollow!

This scene completely changed the expressions of both Isshin and the girl!

"I'll stall for time! You get out of here!"

"Impossible! I am a member of the Kurosaki family! How could I possibly retreat in the face of a Hollow!" The girl, Kurosaki Masaki, said with a solemn expression.

Despite her legs trembling with fear, she resolutely drew back her spirit bow and aimed the arrow at the Void Clan!

"I'll cover you! You go ahead and fight! Are you alright?"

Hearing the slightly trembling voice of Masaki Kurosaki, Isshin gave her a deep look, held the sword in both hands, and said calmly, "Yes, you can rest assured and support me from behind. Don't worry, I guarantee you will be safe and sound. I, Shiba Isshin, will risk everything to ensure that nothing happens to you!"

Masaki Kurosaki looked at Isshin, who was standing in front of her, and saw his broad shoulders. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and the fear in her heart inexplicably dissipated a little.

"Then it's up to you. By the way, my name is Kurosaki Masaki."

"Masaki? What a nice name!"

"collapse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yixin rushed out!

"Burn, Yanyue!"

"boom!"

With a roar of fury, the blazing flames suddenly exploded!

The increased spiritual pressure after the initial release barely made up for some of the gap caused by the suppression of spiritual pressure, and a large number of Hollows were burned to ashes before they even got close!

Meanwhile, Masaki was also surprised by Isshin's sudden burst of power. She was already surprised that Isshin had killed more than twenty Hollows in a short period of time, but she did not expect that was not Isshin's full strength!

It's important to understand that Shinigami of the rank of lieutenant-level or higher must suppress their spiritual pressure before entering the mortal realm. This level of strength is already comparable to that of her fiancé, Ishida Ryūken...

Despite her surprise, Masaki Kurosaki, being from a prestigious Quincy family, was still quite skilled. Without stopping, hundreds of spirit arrows rained down on the Hollows!

Although she didn't kill a single Hollow, she had achieved her goal: she effectively disrupted the Hollows' movements, preventing them from assembling a Cero to attack Isshin.

They completely nullified the function of the Cyclone's Void Group!

No matter how many small fry there are, they are still small fry.

The only thing that Kylian poses any threat to a Captain-level Shinigami is Cero. When they form an array, their threat level increases dramatically, causing considerable damage to the Shinigami.

However, after further cooperation with the Quincy, this formation became less effective against the Shinigami. With the Quincy's long-range interference, the Cero could not be successfully formed, and the Shinigami could concentrate all their energy on facing the enemy head-on!

In just a short while, he killed another seven or eight Gillian, and at the same time, he was one step closer to releasing his spiritual pressure.

Faced with this situation, the Hollows weren't idiots either. An Adjuchas in the shape of a tiger noticed the situation, grinned ferociously, and looked at Masaki Kurosaki with a bloodthirsty glint in its eyes!

However, just as it was about to rush forward, the leader, Vastod, stopped it.

"She is mine! He is yours!"

Just as Tiger Achookas was about to unleash his fury, the sight of Vastod's deathly pale body instantly extinguished his rage. This madman was not to be trifled with...

They exchanged a glance with the other two Adjuchas, and the three of them rallied together, ready to charge forward. They hadn't forgotten that when they were in formation, there were four Adjuchas and two Vastodes...

When they first set off, those two guys "accidentally" stepped on his foot, and the Minotaur Great Hollow tore them to pieces!

Seeing this, Lord Aizen simply smiled with satisfaction. Both were Vastodes he had created, but this one held a much heavier place in Lord Aizen's heart...

Chapter 300: The Final Crescent Moon Sky Slash!

Isshin, who was fighting fiercely, felt a jolt in his heart. He instinctively swung his sword, the Moonblade, to block the tiger Hollow that suddenly pounced on him. He glanced at the scorpion Hollow and the centaur Hollow that were flanking him from both sides, and frowned.

The quantity is incorrect!

We're still missing a Vasto Lorde Hollow!

With a burst of strength from both hands, a massive amount of spiritual pressure converged!

"Crescent Moon, Sky Surge!"

At close range, a Crescent Moon Slash directly severed one of Tiger Hollow's right claws, then slammed it into his chest!

A huge amount of blood gushed out.

While this level of injury wouldn't be fatal for a Hollow with a high health bar, it was clearly not minor; at the very least, it would render them incapable of fighting for several breaths.

Taking advantage of this opening, Isshin, wielding his swords in both hands, spun around and unleashed a Flame Break, unleashing a burst of scorching flames that exploded violently upon contact with the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow!

They were temporarily forced to retreat, creating an opening for Masaki, who was focused on getting help.

"Hey~"

"when!"

"Your opponent is me!" Isshin appeared in the form of a Shunpo (Flash Step), unleashing a slash. Although the Ushi-no-Kage blocked it with one hand, Isshin showed no fear. Instead, a smile played on his lips as he roared furiously, "Crescent Moon Heavenly Strike!!!"

"Pfft!"

A severed arm and a single horn soared high into the air!

Even the Bull Demon King couldn't withstand the full force of the Crescent Moon Slash at close range, and one of his hands and one of his horns instantly fell off.

Having landed a successful blow, Isshin instantly withdrew and flew away. His spiritual pressure was still restricted, preventing him from engaging in prolonged combat. If the other three Vastodes seized the opportunity to surround him, he would be in danger.

As he retreated, he also took the time to look at Masaki. He would feel terrible if anything happened to her.

Fortunately, Masaki, who comes from the prestigious Kurosaki family, is also quite strong. In the original work, when the Kurosaki family was almost in decline, she was the last member of the Kurosaki family and was only a teenager when she had the strength to defeat Hollow White, which shows her talent!

The Kurosaki family has not declined; on the contrary, with the growth of the Quincy, their strength has been further enhanced. Kurosaki Masaki has also been allocated more resources, and her strength is even slightly stronger than in the original work.

Therefore, when she realized that the Minotaur was about to charge at her, she immediately retreated and drew back the bowstring.

However, upon discovering that Isshin had rushed to her aid, she turned her arrow around and aimed it at the three-headed Adjuchas on the other side.
