Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

It can only be said that Yamamoto truly deserves the title of the strongest Shinigami.

Compared to the opponents Naraku had faced in his previous direct assaults, this old man was far superior.

His true power cannot be fully demonstrated in regular teaching.

Only when he grasped the Zanpakuto called Ryujin Jakka did the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 reveal his most terrifying sharpness.

Even just looking directly at it can burn your pupils with its radiance.

But isn't it precisely because of this that it's so challenging?

Naraku grinned, his spiritual pressure burning even more fiercely, the intense flames seeming to burn a hole in the sky.

The initial release was pushed to its limit.

A faint, circuit-like light emanated from his palm, layering upon layer, and azure flames burst forth from nowhere, intertwining and swirling with the blood-red spiritual pressure flames on his body.

It transformed into a terrifying pillar of fire, shooting straight into the sky.

The momentum that had been completely suppressed was now slightly regained.

Ghost Sword Ultimate: Twin Lotus Azure Flame Fall!

The azure flames suddenly contracted, condensing on the blade before slashing down!

In an instant, a scathing slash appeared on the pillar of fire formed by pure spiritual pressure.

Followed by.

A terrifying explosion erupted from within, the earth collapsed, and dust billowed out amidst the roar.

While exchanging ideas with Aizen on how to improve the power of the secret technique, Dragon Flash, Naraku Sora still did not give up on his training in Oni Sword Technique.

Based on the fusion of Kido and Kendo, any improvement in either one will increase the destructive power of the corresponding Oni-Sword Technique.

However, in actual combat, countless changes occur. To unleash the full power of a particular Kido, one must master the timing, release techniques, and angles.

It's not enough to just stand still and sing like a cannon.

If the timing is perfect, even the most ordinary Red Fire Cannon can produce unexpected results.

"Twin Lotus Azure Flame Pendant?"

Amidst the roar, Yamamoto's spiritual pressure vibrated, and Ryujin Jakka held it in front of him, shattering the oncoming Burst Flash Sword into dust, with countless spiritual particles scattering like raindrops.

"The idea is not bad, but you've forgotten that I've used similar tricks on you before."

"With your talent, you might surpass me in a few decades, but to think you can overtake me now is a bit too hasty."

"If you surrender immediately, I might forgive your insubordination and punish you by making you swing your sword a million times under the waterfall, and then this matter will be over."

"But if you continue down this path to the bitter end, then don't blame me for being impolite."

As they spoke, the spiritual pressure emanating from the mountain grew increasingly intense, like a fiery blade cleaving through the heavens and earth, with a heavy and oppressive aura constantly spreading outwards.

"null!"

Kuchiki Hibiki tried to persuade Naroku to give up, but before he could finish speaking, the figure beside him had already burst out, leaving a scorch mark on the wilderness, as if lashing the earth.

"Hyouga, Lord Naraku's mind is made up. Instead of continuing to persuade him, why don't the two of you join forces and try to escape from Captain-Commander Yamamoto?"

Although Muramasa didn't know what the old man and the young man were plotting, it wasn't hard to tell from their subtle expressions that they had big plans.

The best course of action right now is to cooperate with them and see this performance through to the end.

"Alright, I'll charge!"

Kuchiki Hibiki is a bit too straightforward, but when it comes to fighting, he's quite similar to Naraku Sora.

So much so that when Naraku Sora reappeared in front of Yamamoto.

"Diamond Explosion!"

With a flash, Xiu Mu Xiang He appeared behind the mountain and swung his blade violently, unleashing a burst of scorching flames that added to the scorching heat of the parched land.

The enormous golden-red fireball hurtled straight toward Yamamoto, who was standing directly in front of him.

The old man stood still, swinging his Zanpakuto while pointing his left hand behind him.

"Binding Path No. 81: Severing Emptiness".

The blazing fire blade fell like a heavy hammer, slashing fiercely at Narakuku who was coming straight at him.

In the instant the metal clashed, a burst of flames spread across the sky, like a sea of ​​fire, instantly covering the land within a radius of hundreds of meters.

The intense light ignited, and visible ripples spread through the air.

The storm rose, expanded, and ruthlessly ravaged the earth, piling up jagged fissures, trembling, and erupting with a deafening roar!

At the same time, Kuchiki Hibiki's attack arrived just in time.

The Vajra Blast, imbued with almost all of its spiritual pressure, slammed head-on into the void barrier that had appeared out of nowhere. A teeth-grinding friction sound suddenly erupted, and countless sparks flew.

Even a fraction of its power was enough to easily withstand Kuchiki Hibiki's powerful attack.

Seeing that the Vajra Explosion could not break through the Void Breaking Defense, Kuchiki Hibiki immediately changed his attack, gripping the sword in one hand and pressing the other hand on the blade.

In an instant, spiritual pressure erupted.

"Teeth gleam with fierce light!"

A circular green halo appeared above the tip of the blade, from which dozens of beams of light, radiating a sharp aura, shot out and struck the invisible barrier.

The air cracked with a cracking sound, and countless fissures appeared across it.

"Ice Fang Conquers the Storm!"

Temperatures plummeted in the area centered around the Rokumoku River.

Wisps of white steam swirled around the blade, creating a stark contrast with the rising pillar of fire in the distance.

As the blade slashed down, countless snowflakes burst forth from the tip of the blade, surging towards Yamamoto in a mighty torrent.

Like a flood bursting its banks, the scorched ground in its path froze, covered by a thick layer of ice.

Yamamoto was restrained by Naraku Sora and couldn't dodge in time. He was overwhelmed by the extreme cold, which slowed his movements by a second. Even the fire pillar made of pure spiritual pressure was suppressed.

Even if Muramasa's abilities are ineffective against him, Kuchiki Kyouga can still be ranked as a captain based solely on his basic combat skills and equally impressive stats.

This is the rising star of Soul Society, one of the most talented Shinigami in hundreds of years!

As the restraining attack was launched, Muramasa promptly followed up with a hypnotic technique, the essence of his Zanpakuto's power, instantly disrupting Yamamoto's sense of distance and time.

But at the same time, an overwhelming pressure, like seawater pouring in, also struck.

It is more difficult to shake Yamamoto's perception than to shake the perception of hundreds of traitorous Grim Reapers on the battlefield.

An ant trying to shake a tree.

At this moment, Yamamoto is like the final boss in a raid.

Only through continuous control and coordination can his overwhelming ferocity be reduced slightly, creating the best opportunity for the main damage dealers to unleash their power.

Shadow Binding Technique!

Kuchiki Hibiki stood firmly in place, his shadow instantly splitting into dozens of strands, like a swarm of snakes winding forward, crossing the sea of ​​fire, and landing directly on Yamamoto's shadow.

Imprisonment!

The battlefield fell silent in an instant, and the pillars of fire died down.

But soon, the volcano erupted again, as if magma was surging and wantonly eroding the earth.

Yamamoto forcefully broke free of the restraints, but at the same time, the most fatal blow came at just the right moment.

Naraku Sora stepped forward with a Shunpo, his body, as hard as refined iron, plunged into the sea of ​​fire, his fists clasped together like hammers, adopting the stance that Yamamoto was most familiar with.

Double bones!

In that instant, the explosion was deafening.

The raging flames that could burn anything vanished in an instant, and the sound of metal clashing against metal echoed from Yamamoto's scarred body. The old man's expression suddenly froze.

boom!!

The blood-red spiritual pressure, condensed to its extreme, soared into the sky.

In a dazzling burst of light, Yamamoto was sent flying backward in an instant, like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, with waves rippling across the battlefield.

From east to west, concentric white shockwaves burst forth, trailing long, dusty tails, carving a deep trench tens of meters long into the scorched earth before finally crashing into the rocky peaks and raising clouds of black dust.

"call--"

Yamamoto slowly emerged from the rubble, his chest heaving and his breathing slightly disordered.

However, before he could even stand still, Naraku suddenly appeared in front of him with a flash, and raised his hand to perfectly execute the Sixty-Third Hado: Thunder Roar Cannon.

The old man was once again engulfed by dazzling golden lightning, followed by a burst of azure flames.

The relentless barrage of attacks perfectly illustrated the meaning of overwhelming firepower.

Now that we've finally gotten a chance to pay back all the beatings we've taken, wouldn't it be a waste to not charge extra interest?

As for what would happen after this, Naraku had already put it out of his mind.

If I can give that old man Yamamoto a good beating today, even if I die, it will be worth it!

While happily unleashing his attacks, Naraku Sora winked at Kuchiki Hibiki in the distance.

However, when he saw the other party's winking expression, Kuchiki Hibiki was stunned. It wasn't until Muramasa appeared next to him that he suddenly realized what was happening.

"Xianghe, let's go now."

Kuchiki Kyoga wanted to say something more, but Muramasa's next words made him shut his mouth immediately.

"Don't let Lord Naraku's painstaking efforts go to waste."

After a moment's hesitation, Kuchiki Hibiki nodded toward Naraku Sora, who was relentlessly bombarding the mountain peaks, and then charged toward Rukongai with a determined look in his eyes.

A man and a swordsman hurriedly ran through the grove of trees at the edge of their vision.

Seemingly sensing that Kuchiki Hiragawa's spiritual pressure had disappeared, an exasperated voice rang out from the swirling dust, followed by a pillar of fire shooting straight into the sky, scattering everything in its path.

"You bastard, haven't you hit me enough?!"

Yamamoto smashed a Red Fire Cannon with a displeased expression.

"I'm just afraid of being exposed."
