puff-

While Ichigo was distracted, Kurotsuchi Mayuri stabbed him in the intestines. Even... Ichigo didn't react until Kurotsuchi Mayuri had already drawn his sword and was backing away!

Ichigo felt that he had a penetrating wound on his body as soon as he was distracted.

Meanwhile, in Ichigo's inner world...

"Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Are you still not moving? Then just go and die!" The huge mask in the air emitted electronic music.

"Stop making so much noise. Just say it once." Mie Que Tianxing responded calmly.

"Want to borrow my power? Impossible! Unless you give up 80% of your Bankai, you have to resist the poison on your own!" Xu Tianxing emphasized.

"No, I've thought about it carefully, and I think we should die together."

"you!"

……

In Ichigo's inner world, the Quintessence and the Hollow Tensei are competing to be the worst in different ways!

With the spiritual pressure that Ichigo can control now, that is, the little spiritual pressure leaked by the Quincy, it is definitely not enough to resist poison, unless some of it is converted into "Hollow Power" - the poison resistance of "Hollow" is much higher than that of "Quincy".

In this way, they can overcome the current crisis without increasing Ichigo's spiritual pressure.

But Xu Tianxing certainly disagreed. If he wanted him to help, he had to destroy Tianxing and give up some spiritual pressure...

Of course, 80% or something like that is just an exorbitant price, waiting for Mie Que Tianxing to pay back the money.

However, Mie Que Tianxing also knew Xu Tianxing. When faced with Xu Tianxing's exorbitant price, he simply gave up...

As for releasing more spiritual pressure, it can certainly also increase poison resistance, but Mie Que Tianxing never thought about it!

After all... most of his strength is used to suppress Xu Tianxing.

Once the power is used excessively, the power of the star will be released. Even if it can be suppressed at that time, a part of it will still seep out and be controlled by Ichigo's main consciousness. This is also the reason why Ichigo's current spiritual pressure, although not as good as when he was in "Double Death Hill" or even when he just came to Soul Society, is still much stronger than when he first became a Shinigami...

However, under the control of Quincy, Xu Tianxing wanted to temporarily lend a part of his power to change the nature of Ichigo's current power, but Xu Tianxing insisted on not agreeing...

In Xu Tianxing's opinion, Mieque Tianxing's current poor performance is like the chairman telling the young employees that if they don't work harder, their company will go bankrupt and they will all starve to death!

Although neither of them could start a new business, but... Mie Tianxing's behavior made Xu Tianxing feel very uncomfortable.

It seems that this time, Xu Tianxing and Mie Tianxing are really competing with each other. They let Yihu get beaten and still did nothing!

Ichigo's [Shattering Star] was easily dodged by Mayuri Kurotsuchi...

"Is your mind already lagging behind? That's right, this is the poison that Hitsujizo is currently loading..."

Ichigo had barely time to react when he was stabbed again by Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and his thoughts became increasingly stagnant.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was more certain that Byakuya Kuchiki was dishonest, and he also became more aware of Ichigo's power, which was indeed similar to that of a Quincy. If that was the case...

"Thinking...?" Ichigo was stunned at first, then...

Ichigo emptied his mind even more at this time, preparing to fight by instinct - isn't that just slow thinking? Then can't I just... not use my brain?

In the inner world, Mie Que Tianxing realized something and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The next moment, Ichigo was seen with his eyes closed.

Since “thinking” has become sluggish and unreliable, it’s time to use “intuition”!

"Hmm? You want to fight with intuition? Tsk tsk, are you also such a pure idiot? It would be fine if your dad would let you do it." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said weird things to Ichiryu with disdain.

However, next, Kurotsuchi Mayuri discovered... gradually, although Ichigo's poison was not cured,... his fighting movements became smooth again!

The result of the new round of fighting was that Mayuri Kurotsuchi was slashed hard from the waist to the top of his head by Ichigo's "killing blade"...

Mayuri Kurotsuchi also realized the difficulty of the "Killing Blade", which was similar to his previous speculation and analysis when watching the video footage.

Although it looked like no injuries were caused, it was worse than being injured directly - for Kurotsuchi Mayuri, stopping the bleeding and regenerating were easy, but his soul was directly destroyed, and he had no effective way to resist and recover.

After suffering real damage at the hands of Ichigo for the first time, Mayuri's situation becomes increasingly dire...

After all, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's fighting level is just so-so. After Ichigo gave up thinking and fought the enemy purely by instinct, he suppressed Kurotsuchi Mayuri instead!

If Ichigo hadn't been relying entirely on instinct to react, as long as Kurotsuchi Mayuri retreated, he "wouldn't remember" to chase him, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri would probably be in an even more embarrassing situation.

"Tsk... It looks like nothing more than that, but since it's already been made, why not use it?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri said strangely, then took out a bottle of medicine in a test tube with a metal rack on the outside.

When Kurotsuchi Mayuri takes the initiative to attack, he is usually prepared. Whether he is prepared or not also determines the combat effectiveness he can exert, which will be a world of difference...

The last time he was severely injured by Yilong, he had no preparation against Yilong - he was originally going to deal with the "Quincy" and "Fullbringer" in the travel disaster. He had already observed the "Fullbringer" who was the real target. His strength was interesting but still very weak. As for the "Quincy"... he claimed to know him very well!

At this time, Kurotsuchi Mayuri stuffed the reagent he had just taken out into the mouth of the "baby" that was cut out by the sword of [Hisa Jizo]. Immediately, the poison that permeated the blade after [Shikai] changed.

The poison of [Hikatsujizo] can be replaced...

What's inside now is a toxin that can limit the power of the Quincy.

In Ichigo's inner world, the Quincy heaved a sigh of relief. He found that Ichigo was able to break the impasse by using only his existing strength, and he couldn't help but smile with relief.

But the smile soon disappeared - Quincy also found that her mentality seemed to be increasingly leaning towards Ichigo.

If Kyonten-sei saw this, he would definitely mock her and use it to prove that "you are also a part of Ichigo, not a part of the King of Quincy", but...

Xu Tianxing was extremely disappointed and started cursing, not paying attention to anything else.

Just when both Que Tianxing and Xu Tianxing felt that there was no need (no chance) to release a higher spiritual pressure this time...

Suddenly, Mieque Tianxing's face changed!

"This guy..." Mieque Tianxing's face turned dark, and then he looked at his clenched hands.

At the same time, Xu Tianxing, who was originally furious, began to laugh out loud!

"Hehehe, you're lucky! I... will just go out for a while now." Xu Tianxing said arrogantly.

At the same time, Ichigo's inner world seemed to be infected by ink at this moment, and the horizontal reinforced concrete buildings were distorted into a black and white ruined ancient city...

And in the "outside" reality, it looked as if Ichigo's spiritual pressure had weakened since the beginning.

The poison that Kurotsuchi Mayuri put on seems to restrict his spiritual pressure?

Just when Kang Jinlong was getting anxious, Ichigo's expression suddenly changed - although he didn't know what happened, but... Ichigo felt that some shackles were suddenly loosened at this moment, and this feeling was just like the previous special training and battle at the "Double Killing Hill"!

"Swastika!"

Finally, Ichigo used his Bankai again, and a burst of black and red spiritual pressure burst out from his body. It was as powerful as during the "Double Killing Hill", but... the nature of the power was completely different.

"Hmm?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri tilted his head and blinked his big innocent eyes at Ichigo, whose whole body was emitting black and red spiritual pressure, which was visibly different from what he saw in the video footage at "Hill of the Two Deaths".

The next moment, Ichigo's figure gradually became visible in the explosion of spiritual pressure.

Putting aside the "special effects", at first glance, the appearance is similar to the [Bankai] in the "Double Killing Hill" before, still simple style, with only some bandages wrapped around the abdomen, and a black battle skirt that goes below the knees, and barefoot.

but……

Unlike the empty hand before, or the blade formed by "spirit particle clustering", Ichigo now holds a huge sword in his hand that is pure white in color, heavy in appearance, and even looks a bit ferocious!

The sword guard part has a white mask. If Ichigo observes it at this time, he will find that there is a red mark on the forehead of the mask, a red cross mark running through each of the eyes, and a horizontal mark where the mouth and the lower jaw are separated...

There is a lot of overlap in the patterns between the "Mask of Hollow" that always appears beside him, but it is a little more complicated.

(Tip: The pattern of Ichigo's mask on the cover of this book was photoshopped like this. That is indeed the picture of Ichigo the Arrancar, not the White. Only his hair was photoshopped.)

What is even more noticeable on this mask is that the two ears are particularly huge, just like the mask that always appears beside Ichigo, like two small wings... On the blade, it looks like there is another layer of sword guard!

Ichigo then raised his arm and pointed the sword at Kurotsuchi Mayuri.

"Ah, it seems that it has been proven that you have some of the power of a Hollow? But... isn't it a bit messed up?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri said calmly.

The next moment, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was hit in the face with [Star Shattering Strike]!

But at the same time, Kurotsuchi Mayuri had already stabbed himself quickly - as a scientific researcher, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not have a strong fighting spirit, and if he could not win, he would immediately try to escape...

----

Dongdong: The setting of this book has always emphasized that Ichigo's "Hollow" side is stronger than in the original work... So when "Hollow Tensei" faces "Quincy Tensei", that is, "Uncle Zangetsu" in the original work, he is more presumptuous than Hollow Haku. Although he is still the suppressed party, he dares to keep provoking.

This also caused Ichigo to be more severely suppressed by his own Quincy power at many times...

2023-09-18

"Deputy Captain, the Director..."

"Everyone, stay out!"

"Deputy Captain, the Technology Development Bureau has just been attacked. The disaster started from here..."

"Just go and deal with it."

……

Nie Yin Meng fled back to the Technology Development Bureau with Nie Yin Meng, who had turned into liquid.

When Mayuri Kurotsuchi felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure, he realized that it would be useless even if he resisted with all his strength, so he immediately used [Meat Foam] on himself to avoid damage.

After Ichigo chopped Kurotsuchi Mayuri into liquid with one blow, he began to have trouble distinguishing friend from foe, and his spiritual pressure began to drop sharply until he fainted.

When Nie Yinmeng brought Kurotsuchi Mayuri back to the "Technical Development Bureau", Akon immediately reported to her about the recent disaster and asked her where Kurotsuchi Mayuri was...

However, Niemeng dealt with them all, and then went to Kurotsuchi Mayuri's exclusive treatment room regardless of anything else, leaving the chaotic "Technology Development Department" to Akon to handle.

Here, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, who had turned into liquid, began to condense again.

Previously, Kariya God obtained a [Purification Seal] at the "Technology Development Bureau", but he did not try to detonate it. Instead, he integrated it into his own body - the [Purification Seal] was originally made for the "Soul Hunter", so of course it could be easily integrated!

It can be said that at this point Kariya God is a truly complete "Soul Hunter".

As for blowing up the "Seireitei", it is necessary to first fuse a [Purification Chapter] in order to resonate with other [Purification Chapters] and then detonate other [Purification Chapters]!

That’s right, more than one [Purification Chapter] was produced at that time, and more than a dozen were hidden in various places underground in the "Seireitei".

After Ichigo defeated Kurotsuchi Mayuri, he successfully intercepted Ran Dao.

Soon, Yu Long and others who had just defeated their opponents and were blocked not far away arrived.

Kang Jinlong did not stop them. They took Randao away. Instead, he wanted to take Ichigo away for treatment. However, of course no one would agree - you didn't care about your companion fainting nearby, and you wanted to take Ichigo for treatment. Do you think I would believe it?

So Kang Jinlong told the "truth" that shocked everyone!

"What? Captain Shifengyuan is..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Ah! That's right, it's true that Kurosaki-san's father looks a lot like Captain Shifengyuan from behind!"

Chad and Uryu were shocked by this, but Inoue...actually believed it so naturally.

What Yulong and Chadu had to believe was...

Indeed, after Kang Jinlong discovered that Inoue had healing abilities, he really stopped pestering him and instead left with his unconscious companion - it was obvious that he had no intention of harming Ichigo before.

But even so, they were not going to return to the 9th Division's barracks. After all, they had finally rescued Ran Dao, and Ichigo's condition did not require emergency treatment...

Just then, Kenpachi Zaraki arrived.

The 11th Division is the closest to the 9th Division's barracks. After Zaraki sensed the spiritual pressure during Ichigo's Bankai, he rushed over and happened to meet Inoue and others who were treating Ichigo, so they came to Zaraki's 11th Division's barracks to rest.

"Ichigo, this guy hasn't woken up yet?" Uryuu asked with a disgusted tone.

"The injuries and poison have recovered, but... it must be because of the spiritual pressure that he fainted. My [Shuangtian Guidun] cannot restore the spiritual pressure." Inoue said embarrassedly.

"No, no, no, I'm complaining that this guy is useless." Yulong quickly explained.

Kenpachi Zaraki was bored at this time, and poked Ichigo's face with the handle of his sword. When he saw that Ichigo didn't react, he made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound.

"Damn it, could this guy have retained some strength before?" Zeraki said dissatisfiedly.

"Your companion... Ichigo, his spiritual pressure is very strong." Randao said meaningfully at this time, and originally wanted to say "also very dangerous", but swallowed it back.

"By the way... are you really Ms. Lan Dao? You look... so much like a soul hunter." Yu Long looked at Lan Dao in confusion.
