"Follow me." After opening the [Gate], Isshin Shiba said to Yilong with a cool face.

"No, if you want to chop me now, I will be in trouble." Yilong said reluctantly.

Indeed, Shiba Isshin is a genius.

More than 20 years ago, he already possessed strength that was not inferior to veteran captains such as Hirako Mako.

Afterwards, a mysterious "fusion" occurred with the mysterious Bull-Headed Hollow. Ichiryuu, who indirectly facilitated this, knew very well that this was not as simple as "one plus one" for the improvement of Shiba Isshin's strength...

Aizen couldn't explain why this change happened.

After all, the creation of "Niutou Daxu" was an accident in itself.

And...normally, Hirako and other Shinigami captains are all affected by the "power of hollowing" instead of actually merging with the Hollow. More importantly, normally, the fusion of "Shinobi + Hollow" alone is not enough to truly break the limit.

In Yilong's opinion, the current Shiba Isshin should be the god of death closest to old man Yamamoto...if he can still be considered a god of death!

However, Yi Xin at this time did not pay attention to Yi Long's refusal, but walked into the [Gate] that he opened by himself.

Seeing this, Yilong had no choice but to follow.

"You should know Aizen very well, right?" Shiba Isshin asked after Ikryuu entered "Dangai" while drawing his sword and showing only his back.

"It's okay." Yilong said calmly.

"Then you come and experience whether this... is the power that can defeat Aizen!" Isshin said as he drew out the sword in his hand and held it horizontally.

Seeing this, Yilong had no choice but to draw out his sword - at this time, Yilong was still in the form of an Arrancar.

"Howl, the burning stake."

Ichiryū said as he threw the sword he had drawn at Shiba Isshin.

After the [Burning Stake] was thrown out, it immediately and violently absorbed the surrounding spirit particles, transforming into a fire force that wanted to burn everything...

At the same time, the body of the [Burning Stake] surrounded by flames changed from the shape of a "shallow hammer" to the shape of a copper pillar. While spitting out flames everywhere, it also extended invisible spirit chains to bind Shiba Isshin!

Different from the general [Return to the Blade], at this time, not only did it not combine the virtual power in the "sword" with itself, but it was also "excluded" completely independently.

Even from the perspective of spiritual pressure, [Burning Stake] is an independent entity, and is not driven by Yilong's own spiritual pressure!

However, facing the giant fire beast that was spewing flames and seemed to be baring its fangs and claws, and the [Burning Stake] that seemed to be surrounded and wailing by countless vengeful spirits, Yi Xin showed a bit of impatience.

"Shouldn't you just take this kind of thing out?"

Yi Xin said, holding the knife upright, "Burn! Yan Yue!"

At this time, Shiba Isshin performed the "Shikai" of his Zanpakutō. At first glance, the Zanpakutō in his hand seemed to have not changed much, except that it was covered with a layer of flames. However, the next moment...

The flames spewed out by the [Pao Lao Stake] were also driven by it!

Although it did not reach the point where it could be used directly, but under the wielding of [Yan Yue], the flame of [Pao Lao Stake] naturally spread out in a circle, bypassing the position of Shiba Isshin.

Sure enough, it was still the same as before - Yilong understood everything when he saw it.

When [Yangetsu] was performing "Shikai", it was obvious that there was a violent process of infusing spiritual energy. It felt like... it was more difficult to activate than the ordinary [Zanpakutō]!

The ability of [Zanpakuto] is just like its name - Yan, half of which is the power to manipulate flames, and the other half is the power to cut. It can be said to be a [Zanpakuto] that is half slashing and half flame.

It is somewhat similar to [Earth-breaking Wind] which is half slash and half storm, but the combination method of the two is different. Rokuguruma's development method of [Earth-breaking Wind] is to transform it into the ability of "shooting wind into the enemy's body and then causing explosive damage", while Isshin's [Yangetsu] focuses more on the slash with flames attached.

And Yixin's strength is undoubtedly much stronger than Liuche's. Yixin has at least sixty cars...

With the power he possessed to manipulate fire, the [Burning Stake] was basically unable to hurt him at all.

"The limit of the god of death is not so easy to break... This thing can be put away." Yi Xin said, knocking the [Burning Stake] beside him with the blade.

As expected, Yixin also guessed it...

The reason why Yilong's [Burning Stake] tends to be a "fire" ability is because he went astray in the "void" stage.

At that time, Yilong was obsessed with the power of "boundary-breaking level", so since he was born as a "hollow" thousands of years ago, he has been guiding his own power to form the ability of pure fire - after all, with the example of old man Yamamoto, pure fire also has a filter in Yilong's heart.

but……

After all, "flame" is not Yilong's true destiny. The result of pursuing "flame" is that it is difficult to master it.

Therefore, after becoming an Arrancar, Ichiryu completely abandoned this part of his power, and used the power of separation and hollowing during the Arrancar to separate them and "forge" them into an independent "sword".

And this "half-baked" flame even seemed a little ridiculous to Yi Xin.

"That's right, sorry for the rudeness." Yilong said, letting the [Burning Stake] float back and stretched out his hand...

As Yilong stretched out his hand, the flame on the [Burning Stake] went out.

When Yilong touched its body, the rusty copper-colored [Bringing Stake], which was originally full of tyranny and seemed to be haunted by vengeful spirits and looked like dried blood, instantly transformed into an ethereal dark blue color from the place where Yilong touched it, and its temperament also became calm and majestic!

At the same time, Ichiryu's body also flickered with spirit particles, and in sync with the [Pao Lao Zhu] transforming into the [Houten Hexagonal Pillar], one white and one black, transformed from the [Arrancar] state back into the [Death God] form...

Seeing this scene, Yi Xin also revealed a solemn expression - until now, he had not seen any flaws in these two forms.

perhaps……

This is really not as simple as "disguise".

[Fatian Hexagonal Column] continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual particles at this time. This time, Yilong did not hold back and used all his strength!

"Broken Dao No. 91: Thousand-Hand Bright Sky Shooting Cannon!"

"Crescent Moon Chong!"

With the blessing of the [Hexagonal Pillar of Dharmakirtan], Yilong directly chanted the ninety-one [Podao] to destroy the land, and his strength was not weakened by "chanting the destruction".

However, this move that had directly split Kurotsuchi Mayuri's [Bankai] into two was now met with Isshin's [Getsuga Tensho], but was directly suppressed by the blue-colored Reizi slash!

If it was Ilryu's [Broken Path], it would be split in two, and [Crescent Moon Sky Strike] would even maintain its momentum and hit Ilryu...

255.

2023-10-24

In the "Broken World", Yilong's [Thousand-Handed Bright Sky Cannon] was split into two by [Crescent Moon Sky Strike], and was directly hit by the remaining force of the slash!

but……

After the spirit dust dissipated, there was smoke but no damage - a dragon appeared in the same place intact.

But if you look closely, you will find that Yilong just took his hand off the [Fatian Hexagonal Column], which shows...

It was not "no injury", but he immediately absorbed the spirit particles transformed by the [Fatian Hexagonal Column] to recover from his minor injuries.

"This is a meaningless test, let's just stop here!" Yi Xin said, and put his left hand on his face.

Immediately, a bull-head mask appeared on Shiba Isshin's face!

This mask covers the entire head. Not only is it hideous in appearance and bloody in color, but it also...

Unlike other masked shinigami, after Isshin put on the bull-headed "Mask of Hollow", not only did the eyes under the mask become cold, but... although the "Death Hagi" on his body did not disappear, Yilong noticed that his skin had turned pale!

When Hirako and the others put on the "Mask of Hollow", other parts of their bodies are not affected.

It can be seen that the way Shiba Isshin exerts his "Hollow Power" is different from that of ordinary [Masked Shinigami]...

In terms of spiritual pressure, Shiba Isshin at this time has surpassed Kyoraku, Nelliel and others, and also surpassed Ikkyuu. In Ikkyuu's mind, this should be the spiritual pressure that is closest to the full strength of Yamamoto or Aizen!

The next moment, Niu Tou Yixin made a move to retract his sword, and put the flaming [Yan Yue] back to his waist, while making a move to dismount and draw his sword...

This kind of fighting style of restraint and release also made Yilong understand that Niutou Isshin was not unconscious now, but his spiritual pressure felt extremely violent.

Seeing this, Yilong immediately whispered: "Bankai!"

The next moment, the [Fatian Hexagonal Column] shattered and turned into a huge high-backed throne, and a dragon sat on it...

"Are you still trying to be pretentious? Why don't you get down from that ridiculous chair?" Yi Xin said sarcastically.

"The king can only exercise power when he is on the throne." Yilong seemed to be hinting that this was some kind of property of the [Throne of the Sky].

but……

Yi Xin obviously knew a lot, and said disdainfully: "That's not your throne at all, right?"

That’s right, [The Throne of the Sky] is essentially the special ability that Emperor Xingtian possessed after becoming a Hollow due to the impact of the “Battle of Karakura Town” on him…

In other words, the "throne" that exists as an image is not the one that belongs to Emperor Xingtian, but the symbolic throne that was "worshipped" by the coalition forces that overthrew him at that time.

Of course, there is no such thing as a restriction that "power can only be exerted on the throne"...

But Yilong continued to play dumb and said, "Oh? You want it too? Come and try."

The next moment, Yi Xin had already rushed in front of Yi Long with a [Instant Step], and then he drew his sword and slashed. The power of fire and the slashing force burst out at the same time.

Yilong directly used his body to take the blow, but he still sat on the "throne". As the blows were slashed, blood burst out from Yilong's chest and abdomen...

In addition, Yixin could also judge from the feel of the hand that Yilong had been seriously injured by this move, and it really felt like his internal organs had been cut.

But then, with the throne flashing, the spirit particles "obeyed orders" and gathered towards Yilong's wound, and Yilong's wound healed instantly!

At the same time, before Shiba could focus on chasing, he seemed to sense something and suddenly retreated.

next moment……

click-

For some unknown reason, although Shiba Isshin had not encountered any attack, a tear mark appeared on one of the horns of his mask, and there was even a crack on the left eye of the mask, like a tear mark.

After these two cracks appeared, Shiba Isshin's spiritual pressure suddenly became chaotic.

"Huh?" Yilong noticed this.

The two cracks were naturally not caused by Shiba Isshin himself, but were the interference effect of the [Throne of the Sky]. From this, Yilong also discovered something.

"Interference?" Shiba Isshin muttered, then swung his sword directly through the air to attack.

Crescent moon clashes in the sky!

This time it's flying...

However, Yilong, who was sitting on the [Throne of the Sky], was certainly not afraid of this kind of non-close-range energy attack. As the slash approached Yilong, it became weaker and weaker, and when it reached Yilong, it was directly blocked by Yilong's hand!

“If you don’t dare to attack at close range, you won’t be able to defeat the power of the ‘king.’” Yilong still called it the power of the “king”. Regardless of whether Yixin believed it or not, Yilong was determined to say so!

"Really?"

At this moment, Shiba Isshin lowered his head slightly, and a fiery red energy ball instantly condensed between his two horns, and then erupted and swept towards Yilong.

In an instant, Yilong and the [Throne of the Sky] were engulfed by the large flame-shaped mask "Hypo-Flash", but...

When the flame approached Yilong, the temperature had dropped to a very low level, and he only felt a slight burning sensation!

but……

Just when Yilong thought that was all, the flame in front of him was instantly split apart, and he saw... Shiba Isshin had actually taken advantage of the flash of flame to rush forward again!

This time it was a close-range [Crescent Moon Sky Strike], which could not weaken it as effectively as before...

But at this moment...

The dragon and the [Throne of the Sky] suddenly disappeared from their original place!

Zhiba Isshin's slash missed, and only completely split his own flame flash...

Soon, Yixin discovered that the [Throne of the Sky] had brought Yilong and was dozens of meters behind him.

"This is..." Yi Xin was stunned when he saw this - he didn't know what this was, but it was definitely not Flash Step.

At this distance, it is impossible to use [Instant Step] to avoid his attack. Not to mention Yilong, even the ancestors of the Shifengyuan family can't do it. And there is no trace of [Instant Step] at all. It's more like...

Teleport?

And at this moment...
