The Alchemist in Bleach

Killing them might be difficult, but restraining them is not!

When Isshin turned his head, he saw Masaki leaping into the air, her delicate spirit bow drawn to its full extent. The unrestrained airflow made her sailor uniform rustle, and beneath her disheveled hair were a pair of resolute eyes.

For a moment, Yixin's heart skipped a beat, and even his rapid breathing, which had become rapid due to excessive exertion, paused slightly.

"roar!!!"

However, Isshin was not stunned for long before his attention was drawn back by the angry roar of the Minotaur.

He frowned as he looked at the bull-headed monster roaring to the sky, his expression gradually becoming serious.

It wasn't because of Hollow's faster regeneration, but because...

Niu Tou Xu seems to lack reason!

This is a very serious problem. Without reason, one can never become a Vasto Lorde, unless...

"Man-made illusion!"

Yixin leaned forward, gripping Shanyue tightly with both hands. The issue of artificial Hollows is currently the most debated topic in the Seireitei. These Hollows are generally extremely powerful, but their weakness is that they have a weak sense of self, making them like wild beasts.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the material used to create artificial virtual objects...

grim Reaper!

All the artificial Hollows discovered so far have been created by modifying Shinigami!

The Seireitei was thus divided into two factions: the pro-war faction and the indifferent faction.

However, the Seireitei's attitude was irrelevant to Isshin at this moment; what he was truly concerned about was the organization represented by the artificial Hollows...

'Am I going to die here?' Is this what he was thinking? He glanced at Masaki, who was holding off the Hollows and Adjuchas for him, and silently made a decision. If the spiritual pressure suppression couldn't be lifted in time, he was prepared to use his final Zangetsu to finish off all the enemies!

If it were just him, let alone the opponent's lineup, even if there were another Vasto Lorde, he was confident he could hold out until the spiritual pressure restriction was lifted, and then break through the barrier and leave...

But not now...

His upbringing made it impossible for him to abandon Masaki and run away alone.

This is not something the Shiba family would do!

"Roar!"

Seemingly enraged by Isshin, the bull-headed genie, having quickly recovered from its injuries, did not charge at Masaki again, but instead roared and charged at Isshin.

Seeing this, Yixin let out a soft breath to calm his rapid breathing. With a "bang," he shattered the ground beneath his feet and rushed forward to fight with Minotaur!

The blazing slashes flew wildly, and the crimson phantoms were equally formidable. The scorching flames and the mournful blood light intertwined, creating an indescribable scene.

On the other side, the three-headed Adjuchas looked at each other, wondering whether they should fight the Quincy or the Death God.

It seems like I might get knocked out by Minotaur no matter which one I attack...

But not...

I might be held accountable by Lord Aizen afterward...

After thinking for a while, their greed for the Arrancar ultimately outweighed their fear of the Hollow. As long as this matter was accomplished beautifully, they could accept Aizen's power and become the legendary Arrancar. At that time, why would they be afraid of a mere artificial Hollow?

After making their decision, the three Adjuchas exchanged glances and charged towards Masaki Kurosaki!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Unfortunately, they had barely set off when dozens of spirit arrows flew over and launched a saturation attack on them!

This greatly hindered their offensive.

"Roar!"

With a roar from the Tiger Hollow, the Centaur Hollow and the Scorpion Hollow immediately rushed in front of the Tiger Hollow, using their massive size to block all the arrows for him!

The faint red light emanating from behind them revealed their plan...

'Tch! Why have the Hollows become so cunning in our generation? If only I had the strength of my cousin Longxian.' Although he was complaining in his heart, his hands didn't slow down.

With a flick of his wrist, several silver bottles slid out of his sleeve, filled with milky-white compressed spiritual particles.

Under Masaki's control, the spiritual particles in the bottle flowed out like mercury, tightly wrapping around the arrows of Masaki's Spirit Bow, further enhancing their power!

With a large supply of spiritual energy, Masaki quickly charged up her attack, but she didn't rush to release it. Instead, she used the Flying Kick to constantly change positions.

To find a suitable angle to kill the Tiger Menorium in one fell swoop, the Tiger Menorium had just been severely injured by Isshin. Although the injury was quickly recovered by the effect of super regeneration, the spiritual pressure consumed would not return, and its condition was greatly reduced. In addition, it was in a charging state at this time. If the angle was found well, it might not be impossible to kill it in one blow!

However, the opposing side is no longer the kind of beasts that only know how to act recklessly. Now, with Aizen's leadership and the addition of Kamui and the others, they have made great progress in military skills. Well, the emergence of something called military skills speaks volumes.

So as soon as Masaki made a move, the three of them realized what Masaki was thinking. Without any hesitation, the Tiger Hollow directly turned the Cero attack target to Isshin, who was fighting the Minotaur Hollow, while the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow guarded the other possible directions of attack for him on the left and right, forcing Masaki and his Cero to fight head-on.

In short, it's either fight it out or give up entirely!

It's that simple!

As expected, Masaki sighed silently. After the Tiger Hollow changed its attack direction, she did not hesitate for a moment. She used the Flying Leap to move directly in front of the Tiger Hollow and shot the arrow in her hand toward the red Cero!

"boom!"

Two energy waves, one white and one red, collided directly. After a brief stalemate, to Tiger Hollow's astonishment, the white spiritual arrow pierced through the red Hollow and shot rapidly toward him!

but......

In the past, he would have been dead from this attack. Having just used Cero, he was already weak and in even worse condition. Under these circumstances, he was powerless to resist this powerful blow.

But now, he has teammates!

"boom!"

As he expected, the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow beside him attacked together with a tail stinger and a spear, blocking the spiritual energy arrow for him!

"call out!"

"Pfft!"

"Ow!!"

However, to the surprise of the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow, as they blocked the attack of the spirit arrows, they suddenly heard the sound of flesh being pierced behind them, and at the same time, the scream of the Tiger Hollow came simultaneously.

The two quickly turned their heads and were shocked to find that the tiger genie's head had been pierced through, a huge hole between his eyebrows telling the story of his death, while the gradually dissipating spiritual pressure indicated his current state...

The two glanced at Masaki, and a heavy sense of pressure arose in their hearts. To be able to seize an opportunity to counterattack under such circumstances, this guy's strength and combat awareness should not be underestimated!

On the other side, Masaki's condition was not good either. She used two powerful attacks in a row. Although the spiritual pressure was not consumed in a big way, it was extremely depleted of her spirit. She also used up the silver bottle she was carrying. At this moment, her condition was unprecedentedly low!

Fortunately, after a brief silence, the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow suddenly began fighting over the Tiger Hollow's corpse, giving her time to ease the attacks from the surrounding Gillian.

But this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the current situation.

This applies to both her and Yixin!

During this lull, Masaki had to deal with the endless stream of Hollows attacking from all around and the Hollows that were condensing Cero in the distance, so she couldn't get any rest. On the other hand, the Scorpion Hollow and the Centaur Hollow, although they had taken a lot of damage from her earlier, those were just some disruptive attacks, and there were basically no truly fatal attacks.

Their condition is still quite good. After they devour the corpse of the tiger Hollow, not only will their condition recover, but their strength will also have a high probability of advancing further!

At that time.......

On the other side, Isshin's battle with Ushio was completely suppressed!

Normally, the Hollow would definitely not be a match for Isshin, but Isshin's spiritual pressure was still suppressed at this time. Although he had already begun to forcibly release it, after engaging with the Hollow, the Hollow's extremely oppressive and crazy fighting style completely suppressed him!

Let alone being able to release the spiritual pressure restriction, even parrying the attacks of the Hollow was proving difficult.

The battle situation is gradually turning unfavorable...

Faced with this situation, Isshin roughly estimated the time, then sighed slightly. A circle of red Kido characters suddenly appeared on his wrist. At the same time, five huge iron pillars fell from the sky and slammed into the limbs and head of the bull-headed genie, rendering him unable to move!

Binding Spell No. 75: Five Iron Pillars Piercing the Strings - Postponed Chanting!

"A wall of iron sand, a stupa shaped like a monk, gleaming with the light of burning iron, serene and ultimately silent! Seventy-five Binding Paths: 'Five Iron Pillars Piercing'!"

As he retreated, he quickly finished chanting the Five Iron Pillars Incantation, then asked Masaki beside him, "I'll leave all the enemies to you. Buy me ten seconds. Can you do that?"

"Ten seconds? Sure!" Masaki readily agreed, then leaped in front of Isshin, swallowed a pill, and instantly, a massive amount of spiritual pressure surged from Masaki's body, condensing at her left shoulder to form a spiritual wing!

This is the Advanced Quincy form!

The pills and the magic gloves have similar effects, but the consequences are much more serious!

The price to gain this power is all of my spiritual pressure and a portion of my lifespan!

Masaki was now cornered. If she didn't use it, she might lose her life; if she did, she could still try her luck.

She chose to take a gamble, she chose...

I have faith in Shiba Isshin!

Feeling the immense power within her, Masaki swiftly drew back her spirit bow, aimed it at the sky, and suddenly, tens of thousands of spirit arrows shot out from Masaki's hand!

Although each arrow was weak, it was not even able to penetrate the defense.

But killing was not the purpose of this move. She was well aware of her own strength. Even if she went all out, she could only kill the Vastod at most, and then she would be exhausted. The remaining two Adjuchas and hundreds of Kylian were simply no match for her!

Therefore, given her extremely limited time to unleash her power, she can only use this move – Spirit-Breaking Rain!

Each spirit arrow carries the power of Quincy spirit particles, which greatly interferes with Hollow spirit particle creatures, rendering them unable to move for a short period of time, even Vastod and Adjuchas!

Shiba Isshin also noticed her swallowing the medicine, and his heart sank even heavier.

I won't let you down!

With this thought in mind, Isshin placed his left hand on the outstretched Crescent Blade, slowly closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into the spiritual world.

'I'm sorry, Yan Yue.'

'It's alright. I was originally your power, and now I belong to you to the fullest extent. But Isshin, remember, you must reclaim this power, otherwise, you won't be able to protect that girl.'

"I understand." A smile appeared on Isshin's face when Masaki was mentioned, and her thin but determined figure seemed to reappear.

Seeing the smile on Yixin's face, Yanyue also smiled, and then plunged a knife into Yixin's heart!

"Come on, Isshin! Let them witness the secrets of the Shiba family! Let them see our ultimate power..."

"Finally, Crescent Moon Sky Slash!!!"

"boom!!!"
