I Am a Heroic Spirit

Don't worry, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. You just need to do your own thing. With us here, nothing will happen to you.

"Sure enough, you are planning something big."

Arisawa Ryuki's expression grew solemn. Even Zhang Luo, who commanded countless heroic spirits, used the phrase "the sky is falling" to describe or hint at what they were planning to face. There was no doubt that what they were hiding was no less serious than the outbreak of war. After all, even if a war broke out, the heroic spirits could suppress it.

"What's wrong? Long Gui, what did Brother Luo say?"

Noticing Arisawa Ryuki sending and receiving text messages, Inoue Orihime quickly asked.

Arisawa Ryuki shook his head, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes full of unwillingness.

Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu Ishida, and Orihime Inoue also noticed something from Arisawa Ryuki's performance, and they knew what to do and didn't say anything, but just looked at Arisawa Ryuki with worried eyes.

The gap is too big. The difference between her and him can be said to be as great as the difference between heaven and earth, and the distance is constantly widening. Even Orihime, Ichigo, Rukia, Ishida and others are the same.

At first, she only knew some karate, and he could kill ghouls alone. Then, when she could only release a few magic bullets at most, he was chatting and laughing with the high-level officials of the darkness. Now, she has the power of the god of death, and he can lead a large number of heroic spirits to confront the forces of the god of death head-on.

Ichigo is very special, which can be seen from Urahara Kisuke's attitude. Orihime is very capable, and none of her abilities related to time are weak. Ishida Uryu is the last Quincy and has the inheritance of the entire Quincy family. Only she is now just an ordinary chief officer-level Shinigami, and her strength is not as strong as Rukia in her prime.

The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later a huge chasm would appear between her and them, just like the one between her and him now. She was completely unable to fit into his plan because she did not have the power to match it.

Leaning back in the chair, Arisawa Ryuki thought about many things, his mind became clearer, and he finally made a choice and decision in his heart.

So, can I also become a tall person?

She typed it out word by word and then sent it out by Arisawa Ryuki. She has always been strong-willed and never wanted to be a burden, and it is still the same now.

A dozen meters away, the man in white leaning on the back of his chair received another text message. Looking at the content of the message, his face was still so calm, as if he had known it for a long time.

Since Long Gui has this determination, it seems that there is no need to create a puppet...

The man smiled and typed a few words on his phone, sent it, and then put the phone away.

Of course you can. As long as you want, there will be new power waiting for you, and you will become the tall person holding up the sky in the future.

Arisawa Ryuki smiled relaxedly as he looked at the reply letter that came quickly.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Kuchiki Rukia's face turned bitter and her body leaned forward slightly, as if she was hit from behind.

"What's wrong, Rukia?"

Inoue Orihime asked hurriedly, holding out her hands, about to summon Shieldshun Rikka to heal Kuchiki Rukia.

The two soul-slaying swords immediately appeared in the hands of Arisawa Ryuki and Kurosaki Ichigo. Almost at the same time, they looked behind Kuchiki Rukia, but they did not find anything wrong, not even a single figure.

"No, I'm fine." Kuchiki Rukia stood up and stopped Inoue Orihime before she summoned Shieldshun Rikka.

"There's no one behind us, and no one will cause trouble here at this time." Ishida Uryu said calmly. With his calm look, no one could tell that he was the first one to investigate the surrounding movements.

"Rukia, what happened? Could there be something wrong with your artificial body?" Arisawa Ryuki guessed when he saw that there were indeed no scars on Rukia's body.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to Geta Hat to maintain your artificial body?" Ichigo Kurosaki also thought of the excuse Rukia Kuchiki gave yesterday for leaving.

"That shouldn't be the case. I just felt like there was a piece missing in my heart, but that feeling soon disappeared." Rukia Kuchiki shook her head, reached out and touched the front of her body, and said in confusion.

"There's a missing piece in my heart. This expression sounds so familiar. Generally speaking, people have this feeling either because of memory loss or because something happened to a loved one. That's how it's portrayed in Korean dramas," Ishida Uryu interrupted.

"You actually still watch Korean dramas?" Kuchiki Rukia looked at Ishida Uryu in surprise, but when she remembered Ishida Uryu's sewing skills, she thought it was natural. "My memory is very complete. As for my family, my sister died a long time ago. Now my closest relative is my elder brother Byakuya."

When Byakuya Kuchiki was mentioned, Rukia Kuchiki's expression became complicated.

Arisawa Ryuki glanced at the distant Kuchiki Byakuya, who had a cold face and was lost in thought, and interrupted, "It seems this is just an illusion. However, after the match is over, we still have to go check on Urahara Kisuke."

"Yeah." Rukia Kuchiki forced a smile and nodded slightly, agreeing with Ryuki Arisawa's suggestion.

On the other side, Gin Ichimaru was discussing with other captains about who should play in the next game. Suddenly, his expression changed and his eyes turned to Aizen.

Aizen seemed to have noticed Gin Ichimaru's gaze, turned his head slightly, and smiled calmly at him.

Gin Ichimaru still looked like a fox. He turned his head away calmly, but doubts arose in his heart. The feeling just now was not right.

"Has it been removed? That's good, for Rukia, for us..." A leisurely chuckle came from a very conspicuous position.

During the discussion, Kyoraku Shunsui put on a righteous demeanor and said, "Leave this fight to me. I will challenge Miyamoto Musashi, the Japanese swordsman who also wields the dual-sword style. For the glory of a swordsman, she will definitely not refuse."

"Dual sword style? Me too. Let me take over this fight." Ukitake Jushiro said.

"Alas! Your body is not much better than Okita Souji's. You might lie down halfway through the fight. Let me do it. Miyamoto Musashi has no flaws or weaknesses, so we can have a head-on competition in double-sword swordsmanship." Kyoraku Shunsui said so, and then quickly jumped into the competition venue.

"I am Kyoraku Shunsui, captain of the 8th Division of the Gotei 13. Your Excellency Miyamoto Musashi, would you be willing to spar with me and exchange ideas on double-sword swordsmanship?" Kyoraku Shunsui shouted to Miyamoto Musashi with a smile.

Kyoraku Shunsui had planned this out long ago. Among the remaining Heroic Spirits, Saber, who called herself Altria, was too weak. If he chose her, even if he won, he would be punished by the old man when he returned.

Nero was the emperor of the Roman Empire. Although he didn't seem to be that powerful now, he was still an emperor after all. It was impossible for him to have only this theater as a treasure. Moreover, what treasure had no other function except to deploy a barrier? Who knew whether the opponent would use this barrier to suppress him? He was not that stupid to fight against four barriers on his own.

Then there is Shuten-doji, the famous Shuten-doji

Chapter 258: Invincible

"Huh?" Miyamoto Musashi was stunned for a moment, but as a wine lover, she had no resistance to good wine. When she smelled the aroma of wine coming from the wine jug in Kyoraku Shunsui's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked quickly towards Kyoraku Shunsui.

"That guy! At this time! He actually..."

Ise Nanao gritted her teeth and took off her glasses, staring at Kyoraku Shunsui on the playing field with a terrifying look in her eyes. The other Shinigami were also stunned, and their faces became strange. Although they all knew Kyoraku Shunsui's character, they didn't expect him to be so out of line at this time.

However, something astonishing suddenly happened. Ise Nanao and a group of Shinigami looked at the suddenly changing situation in astonishment.

Just as Miyamoto Musashi approached Kyoraku Shunsui and stretched out his right hand to take the wine jug from Kyoraku Shunsui's hand, Kyoraku Shunsui suddenly took off his hat from his head and threw it at Miyamoto Musashi.

The bamboo hat stood up and spun towards Miyamoto Musashi's face, its area completely blocking Miyamoto Musashi's vision. Kyoraku Shunsui quickly drew his sword, chopped it down on his head with the long sword, and stabbed Miyamoto Musashi's chest with the short sword. With these two attacks at the same time, and with the protection of the bamboo hat, if someone was unprepared and faced Kyoraku Shunsui's attack, they would definitely be seriously injured.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

However, just as Kyoraku Shunsui launched his attack, Miyamoto Musashi quickly drew out his two swords, slashed up and down, and accurately blocked Kyoraku Shunsui's surprise attack.

"You're cheating!" Miyamoto Musashi sighed, his bamboo hat dropping to the ground as he looked at the stunned Kyoraku Shunsui in front of him. "Did you think it would work? I'm a famous military strategist, but using tricks on Miyamoto Musashi, who defeated Sasaki Kojiro with his military tactics and swordsmanship, is like showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong."

"Ah, this is really troublesome. It's the same type of opponent. I can feel the distress that Okita Souji felt in the last match."

Kyoraku Shunsui shook his hands, deflecting Miyamoto Musashi's double swords, and used the force to retreat backwards, standing there with a frown and sighing.

The most difficult enemy to defeat is oneself, just like Soi Fong, the fastest player in Soul Society, compared to Okita Souji who is good at fast swords and shrinking the earth; Miyamoto Musashi, whose reputation as a famous military strategist is overshadowed by his fame in kendo; and Kyoraku Shunsui, who is good at using strategies to win.

Seeing this, Ise Nanao's expression relaxed and she put on her glasses again. In her opinion, no matter whether the game was won or lost, as long as Kyoraku Shunsui did not embarrass herself, it would be fine. If she really defeated her opponent by sneak attack in the game, how would she face the other captains and vice-captains of Soul Society who were watching the situation here? She did not have as thick skin as Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Hehe, one sword, three bows. Continue practicing until you reach the end. Come, take it!"

Miyamoto Musashi spun in the air, his purple-red clothes fluttering in the wind. The next moment, the blade cut through the sky, and like a whirlwind, it swept the wild sword energy towards Kyoraku Shunsui.

"Ah, is the fight about to begin? Then, the flowers are in chaos, the flower gods are crying, the sky is in turmoil, the sky demons are sneering, and the flowers are mad."

Seeing that he ended the game in a time-saving and labor-saving way, Kyoraku Shunsui also became serious. He raised the two swords in front of him, chanted the liberation words, and the two Zanpakutō, one long and one short, turned into black scimitars.

"Then, look at my trick, even if you're not good at it, you'll enjoy it!"

Kyoraku Shunsui crossed his two swords in front of him, then slashed down heavily. The sword energy that spun like a top was released from the blade and swept towards Miyamoto Musashi at an incredible speed.

The sword energy whirlwinds collided with each other, and the sharp sword energy splashed in all directions during the collision. Although it was not as large as the formation caused by other people's battles, it also left dense cracks on the ground within a radius of dozens of meters.

Without waiting for the sword energy to dissipate, Miyamoto Musashi broke out from the sword energy storm, rushed towards Kyoraku Shunsui with two swords in hand, and launched a violent and violent slashing attack on Kyoraku Shunsui.

Although Kyoraku Shunsui looks like a good-for-nothing uncle and behaves like one in his daily life, generally speaking, in various anime, this type of person is the one who hides his true strength the most.

"Dang, clang, clang, clang..."

Dancing with two swords, Kyoraku Shunsui used a double-sword sword technique that was rarely matched in Soul Society, and competed head-on with Miyamoto Musashi. The two pairs of extremely similar swords kept clashing and colliding, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and sword energy overflowed. The aftermath of the fight between the two created large ripples in the air.

At the beginning, the two were evenly matched and the fight ended in a draw, with neither able to defeat the other. But gradually, Miyamoto Musashi began to show his power. His double-sword swordsmanship, as swift as the wind and as powerful as fire, forced Kyoraku Shunsui to retreat again and again. No matter how Kyoraku Shunsui resisted, he could not block Miyamoto Musashi's attacks, and in his panic he even made many flaws.

"what happened?"

In the audience seats on the side of the Shinigami, Ise Nanao suddenly stood up and asked in disbelief.

Unohana Retsu's expression also became serious, and he observed the two people fighting more carefully.

A hint of doubt flashed in Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes, and his face was full of confusion.

They were already aware of the gap between the Heroic Spirits and themselves, and Miyamoto Musashi's strength had been seen long before the battle began. His Reiatsu was below average among captains, but his dual-sword swordsmanship far surpassed Kyōraku Shunsui's. While his Noble Phantasm was unknown, it had never been used. Even with this alone, Kyōraku Shunsui was more than capable of suppressing Miyamoto Musashi's Reiatsu, completely compensating for his weakness in swordsmanship. Why had the battle ended like this? What was he thinking?

The Shinigami in the audience were bewildered, and Kyoraku Shunsui felt frustrated. He had originally planned to defeat his enemy with a surprise attack. If that failed, he could still rely on his thousand-year-old spiritual pressure to crush him. But who would have thought that when they actually clashed, they would discover that Miyamoto Musashi's power was not inferior to his own! His spiritual pressure was clearly not at that level, and his body did not seem to be particularly strong.

"Qiang!"

Miyamoto Musashi shouted and turned his wrist. For a moment, only a flash of light and shadow was seen, but no blade was seen. Kyoraku Shunsui only felt several huge forces hitting the weak points of the two swords, which made his hands numb. The two soul-slaying swords actually flew out of his hands, flew over his head, and flew dozens of meters away before falling to the ground, bounced a few times, and stopped moving.

"Hey!"

Miyamoto Musashi slashed at the unarmed Kyoraku Shunsui with both swords one after another, and the tricky and strange attack trajectory blocked Kyoraku Shunsui's way to escape.

"The Seventy-Eighth Breaking Path - Cutting the Flower Wheel!"

There was nowhere to hide and no sword to block, so Kyoraku Shunsui could only use his hand as a sword. Without any dodging gesture, he swung the hand sword towards Miyamoto Musashi fiercely. A ring-shaped halo blade was swung out from Kyoraku Shunsui's hand, and it was like a bamboo breaking through the two swords and hit Miyamoto Musashi's body.

"Gu...!"

Although Miyamoto Musashi saw Kyoraku Shunsui's attack, he didn't take him seriously at all and continued his attack without dodging or evading. Who would have thought that after the Zankarun really hit his body, Miyamoto Musashi was directly cut back and fell heavily to the ground. His chest was covered in blood, and the knife mark that almost cut his body in half was particularly conspicuous.

"This is not a technique!"

Miyamoto Musashi stood up using his sword to support his body and said with a grim expression.

"Ah, yes, although this move is called the Broken Path, it is actually a slashing technique that I created."

Kyoraku Shunsui originally wanted to force Miyamoto Musashi to retreat, but he never expected that Miyamoto Musashi would withstand his attack and hit him twice. Seeing Miyamoto Musashi's appearance, he realized that Miyamoto Musashi probably also had resistance to magic, because he mistook his move of Zhan Hua Lun for a ghost move and did not dodge.

After saying this, Kyoraku Shunsui quickly came to the place where the two swords fell, bent down and picked up the two soul-slaying swords. As soon as he took a stance, he felt something was wrong. After taking a closer look, he found that there were very obvious cracks on the two soul-slaying swords, which were obviously the damage caused by Miyamoto Musashi's slash.

For a moment, Kyoraku Shunsui was puzzled. His defense was so weak that he was severely damaged by his own Zanhuarin, but his offensive power was enough to destroy his own Zanhundao. What was wrong with Miyamoto Musashi? It was too strange, wasn't it?

"It seems I underestimated you. I thought these two swords would make me a top-tier sword, but now it seems they still can't do it."

Miyamoto Musashi held one hand up and the other down, with both swords in a full-scale fighting stance.

"There is no room for error. This is the correct move. Zero's Heavenly Origin corresponds to my sword heart. Emptiness has good, but no evil. The wise have it, the rational have it, the Tao has it, and the heart is empty. This time, I will let you witness my sword of emptiness."

The injuries on Miyamoto Musashi's body healed on their own, and a suffocatingly powerful sword energy rose from her body, revealing an air of emptiness.

And Wukong symbolizes invincibility.

"The legendary final volume of the Five Rings written by Miyamoto Musashi is the Volume of the Void. I never expected to witness the legendary realm of the void with my own eyes."

Unohana Retsu stared at Miyamoto Musashi with a sharp gaze. He had no time to observe why Miyamoto Musashi's strength was not in line with his performance. He focused all his energy on Miyamoto Musashi's sword.

The others were also shocked by the momentum that Miyamoto Musashi burst out at this moment. After careful calculation, except for Aizen, Unohana Retsu and Zaraki Kenpachi, the others had no guarantee of victory even if they used their Soul-Zanking Bankai.

"Oh my god! It seems my eyesight is still not good enough. I actually picked a difficult problem myself." Kyoraku Shunsui groaned, his expression became solemn, and powerful spiritual pressure was poured into the two swords, repairing them and making them sharper and stronger.

Do you want Bankai? Only Bankai can guarantee victory over Miyamoto Musashi now.

Kyoraku Shunsui thought to himself, but immediately shook his head vigorously, denying the idea of ​​Bankai.

No, this is not a life-and-death battle. If I use Bankai, my weaknesses will be exposed, and now is not the right time to use Bankai.

"The root of the sword, the Sword of the Void that you consider to be the ultimate sword? Then let's test it. Can your Scroll of the Void defeat my Flower Heaven Kyonkotsu. Brand New Ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyoraku Shunsui's figure soared into the sky and appeared nearly fifteen meters above Miyamoto Musashi. His two pitch-black swords crossed in front of him, and he slashed fiercely at Miyamoto Musashi who was facing the ground.

Miyamoto Musashi looked up at the slashing arrows falling from the sky, standing still under the heavy wind pressure, only slightly adjusting his body posture, with a gleam in his eyes.

Just as the two pitch-black swords were about to fall, Miyamoto Musashi drew his sword. It was a sword that had no unnecessary movements and oppressed time and space, and swung towards the point where Kyoraku Shunsui's two swords intersected.

"clang!"

The heavy blow finally fell, and Miyamoto Musashi's body was knocked into the ground by the unparalleled heavy blow. His two feet were completely stuck in the hard floor, and his waist bent downward due to the unbearable force.

"what?!"

However, the one who made this unbelievable sound was Kyoraku Shunsui. After a scream, Kyoraku Shunsui did a backflip and retreated into the distance, but his sword-swinging speed was not as fast as Miyamoto Musashi's, and a bloody mark was left on his shoulder.

Ignoring the injury on his shoulder, Kyoraku Shunsui looked down at his Soul-Slaying Swords. In the middle of the two swords, several cracks running through the blades appeared in his sight.

Are you kidding me? A 15-meter-tall ghost was actually chopped apart by the blade!

The pressure on Kyoraku Shunsui is getting bigger and bigger. Is this the realm of Mukuro? It's a bit too strong.

Chapter 259: Empty and Empty

"What's going on? According to the rules of the game, I should have won. This state of mind is a bit exaggerated."

Kyoraku Shunsui had begun to doubt his own eyes. Just now, he had personally felt that Miyamoto Musashi launched dozens of attacks in an instant. The two swords, one long and one short, were connected seamlessly. Every move hit the weak point of the Soul-Slaying Sword, and forcibly removed all of his strength. Not only that, it also hurt his hand, and the last blow directly knocked him out.

"Four swords, one mind, memorized in five wheels."

Before he could finish his words, Miyamoto Musashi turned into a gust of wind and passed by Kyoraku Shunsui.
