The Alchemist in Bleach

Time passed slowly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye. On this day, Ichiro lay listlessly on the table, shaking his head aimlessly. His research was not progressing, and he could not watch the forbidden techniques here. He felt as if he had returned to those restless and boring days in Rukongai a few years ago.

"boom!"

"Whoosh!!!"

Suddenly, a huge roar came, followed by a continuous alarm. Ichiro and the others stood up abruptly, their expressions solemn.

They couldn't help but be tense; this was a signal for maximum alert!

It's so advanced that it even allows the captain to activate Bankai within Soul Society!

This situation hasn't occurred for hundreds of years, and judging from the vibrations, the loud noise just now must have indicated that the barrier formed by the killing intent stone was breached...

"Don't panic! Students, stay where you are, the school is safe!"

On the platform, the teacher was calming the panicked students when Ichiro suddenly heard the captain's voice: "Binding Spell No. 77: Heavenly Void!"

"Ichiro, can you hear me?"

"Captain? Can you hear me? Is someone intruding?"

"Yes, it's a traveler's calamity. Listen to me, this incident was orchestrated by us. Intelligence about the enemy will be delivered to you shortly. With your abilities, find a way to eliminate at least one of the enemies marked on the map. Whether you continue after that depends on your mood. Remember, you must eliminate at least one! Remember, at least one!"

After saying that, the captain hung up in a hurry. She knew about the incident, but the others in the team did not. Getting the whole team together would be a troublesome matter, so she hung up after saying that in a hurry. She believed that Ichiro would do a good job.

At that moment, a member of the First Division suddenly appeared in the classroom, handed a document to Ichiro, and then disappeared.

Ichiro and the other two exchanged glances, then left the classroom and went to the rooftop.

"Ichiro, what's wrong?"

"Someone has invaded Seireitei. The captain sent me a message, asking us to join forces to at least take down one of the people marked on it. I guess it's related to the post-war events. The main benefit should be mine. What do you two think?" Ichiro waved the document and looked at the two men.

Urahara smiled and said, "If I'm the only one who can benefit from this incident, what will you do?"

Ichiro laughed and said, "What should we do? Of course, we'll just watch the show."

That's what they said, but Ichiro opened the file bag and laid out the documents one by one on the ground, and the three of them squatted down to look at them.

"Aren't you going to call Ichiro?"

"No, she's not strong enough! The captain said we should join forces, which means there are regular captains on the other side, and more than one. She's a bit too early."

Urahara Kazuya nodded. Indeed, putting aside Captain Unohana's suggestion, just judging from this alarm alone, the other party was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

“This is…” Ichiro’s pupils dilated slightly as he focused his attention on the document. He saw a somewhat familiar name on it…

The Great Onmyoji – Abe no Seimei!

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

Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Heroes Battle the Vermilion Bird! (Part 1)

Abe no Seimei—a name that shouldn't exist in this era. Thanks to a certain mobile game in his first life, he roughly understood that this person lived about a thousand years ago. Even if such a person truly existed in this world's history, it should have been several hundred years ago...

Wait, a thousand years?

Ichiro's eyes flashed; this timing was rather delicate...

He immediately began to carefully examine the information at the back, and sure enough, just as he had guessed, this person was related to the Quincy!

Or rather, the Onmyoji system he created is another Quincy!

Normal Quincy fight with bows and arrows, but they fight with talismans formed from spiritual particles, and they also have the ability to control Hollows!

They were survivors from the battle hundreds of years ago, and now the captain and her team have somehow lured them in.

The invading forces can be roughly divided into three types in terms of their strength: the Onmyoji led by Abe no Seimei are the strongest, followed by the Fullbringers who have been recruited, and finally the weakest and fewest Quincy.

Ichiro and the others didn't need to worry about the main force. The captain had circled the twelve divine generals directly under Abe no Seimei! They were all captains, and the four strongest among them could even rival the Bankai power of the captains of the Thirteenth Division!

After reviewing the information, Ichiro looked up at the two men and said, "Twelve. Decide who to take down! We can choose first now."

Urahara smirked, pointed to one of the four strongest, and said confidently, "Since it's three of us together, let's go with this one! Let's see where the gap lies between us and the captains!"

"Crack~" Yoruichi clenched her fist, her face full of confidence.

Although their spiritual pressure has reached the level of a captain and they have mastered Bankai, they are not naive enough to think that they have the combat power of a captain. Of course, they also believe that even if they are not as good as captains, they are not too far off.

"Then it's settled, let's go!" With that, Ichiro drew his Zanpakuto, Demon Dragon, raised it high, and shouted, "Reign supreme, Demon Dragon!"

"Ow!!!"

In an instant, Ichiro's Zanpakuto disappeared from his hand, and a giant Western dragon soared into the sky!

The dragon's third form is mainly used for transportation, and it has only two advantages: it looks cool and it's fast!

Aside from that, there's not much else. His combat power is mainly concentrated in his second form, the dragon-man form. He has a rather strict plan for the dragon, with many forms, but each form is only good at one aspect and he brings it to its extreme!

Soon, the three boarded the giant dragon and headed towards their destination. Along the way, Ichiro also reported their goal to the captain to avoid running into other captains.

Ichiro and his group chose Suzaku, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, as their opponent. Suzaku is a Fullbringer. This shows how strategic their choice was.

Fullbring is a power that is linked to the power of the Spirit King. Their research on the Spirit King has never stopped in recent years and has been ongoing. Now that they have this ready-made sample, how could they possibly let it go?

According to intelligence, his Fullbring ability is based on a giant sword, and its power is a flame with super healing capabilities. As long as the flame is extinguished, he will not die!

He truly deserves the name Vermilion Bird!

However, he is not without weaknesses. His ability is ultimately only healing, not immortality. As long as the rate of destruction exceeds the rate of regeneration, he will also die!

After reading the intelligence, Ichiro couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Soul Society once again. Judging from the information in his hand, the other side was completely led by the nose by the Soul Society. Not only was their combat strength information completely leaked, but it even contained their attack plan!

This is absolutely outrageous!

"boom!"

Just as they were pondering, a pillar of fire shot into the sky. The three of them exchanged a glance and jumped down at the same time!

Target found!

The Vermilion Bird, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, has fiery red hair and a cross-shaped scar on the bridge of his nose, which adds to his majestic square face!

Wearing a red coat embroidered with a soaring Vermilion Bird in gold thread, the bird appears lifelike amidst flames enveloping its body. Each swing of its golden-red greatsword generates a large amount of fire.

After landing, looking at the chaotic street, Ichiro held up one finger, indicating that he should first use Plan A to test the waters.

"Awaken, Honghime!"

"block!"

After clarifying the battle plan, Urahara charged forward and used Benihime in her melee form to signal the start of the hunt!

The Vermilion Bird Greatsword was raised high to block Urahara's attack. Immediately afterwards, spiritual energy surged and scorching flames shot out from the greatsword!

"boom!"

"Sing out, Crimson Princess! Shield of Crimson Clouds!"

The blood-red shield blocked all the flames, and at the same time, it also blocked Urahara's upturned lips.

"Explode, Red Princess!"

The Blood Shield exploded violently after blocking the flames!

A barrage of red spiritual energy arrows shot out, and this sudden attack left Zhuque covered in wounds, sending him flying a great distance!

However, this is not the end; there are three of them!

"Drink up! Ha!"

Just as Suzaku stood up, Yoruichi, whose body was overflowing with demonic power, descended from the sky and punched Suzaku hard, slamming him directly into the ground!

It created a huge crater!

With a single, devastating blow, Yoruichi swiftly retreated, a classic assassin's move.

As it turned out, her choice was correct. She had just flown out when a huge pillar of fire rose up, and the scorching air made Ichiro's clothes rustle not far away. Watching Suzaku slowly emerge from the flames, Ichiro's lips curled up.

He's not here to watch the show...

A few seconds after landing, Ichiro did not immediately launch an attack, but instead extended his right palm towards Suzaku, and murmured:

"At the edge of a thousand hands, the unreachable dark hand of the sovereign, the unilluminating archer of the heavens, the path where radiance falls..."

At this moment, Urahara had just launched his attack...

"When the flames of war are kindled and we gather, there is no need for confusion. Follow my instructions: Light Bullet, Eight Bodies, Nine Strips, Heavenly Scripture, Swift Treasure, Great Wheel..."

Urahara's counterattack ended at this point...

"The gray turret, drawing its bow towards the distance, vanishes in a pristine glow—the Ninety-One Thousand Hands of the Destruction, the Heavenly Cannon!"

At this moment, Suzaku was slowly emerging from the flames in a pretentious manner. The rising flames were indeed cool. However, it was precisely this coolness that prevented him from seeing the dozens of red rays of light floating beside Ichiro not far away.

Concealed incantation, a Kido technique developed by Ichiro, is currently the most difficult Kido technique. It is so difficult that it cannot be activated simultaneously with any other Kido technique. Corresponding to its difficulty is its powerful effect, which can completely conceal the spiritual energy fluctuations during the activation of Kido!

Why are high-level demonic arts so rarely used when they are clearly so powerful?

Because it requires chanting time and is very noisy, it's impossible to do without teammates providing cover. Even if you manage to release it with great difficulty, the opponent will be on guard. But with this technique, it's different. I can first quietly open an invisibility barrier to block the view, and then quietly chant the Kido. Silently, a level 99 Hakudo will hit you. Are you scared?

Of course, while Ichiro can now use the Ninety-Nine Hado technique, it would be somewhat difficult for him to actually apply it...

However, number 91 is still fine.

So when Suzaku emerged from the flames, before he could utter any threats, under Ichiro's control, all the red rays were shoved into his face!

Let you show off!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

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

Chapter Seventy-Five: Three Heroes Battle the Vermilion Bird! (Part 2)

"Hado No. 91: Senju Kyoten Taiho!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Dozens of red rays poured down on the Vermilion Bird, creating a deafening roar!

He had just emerged from the pit, only to return to it once more, causing it to grow even larger...

Ichiro and the other two stood quietly to the side, pouring medicine into their mouths to restore their spiritual power while quietly observing the situation.

Theoretically, a fully chanted Hado 91 is enough to seriously injure a Captain-level enemy, and if the enemy is already seriously injured, it could kill him!

However, this is only in theory. In actual operation, some minor mistakes may reduce the power, or the opponent may defend well and block the attack. These are all possible.
