Cold air dispersed. Ice fragments scattered.
The ice wall that had just surrounded all the Soul Reapers—this moment, completely gone!
Though the air remained bitterly cold, no ice crystals approached them anymore.
The dispersed cold air, upon contacting the frigid atmosphere, immediately solidified and fell downward.
At this moment, not just the Soul Reapers—even Hyōrinmaru gripping his blade outside showed a flash of shock in his cold gaze.
Without any spiritual pressure fluctuation... he'd directly cut and shattered Ryōheki Hyōjin?!
This power... was Candle Dragon?!
Hyōrinmaru's gaze turned toward Candle Dragon.
The cracks on the ice wall had appeared from nowhere. Only she could do this!
Facing Hyōrinmaru's gaze, Candle Dragon's expression showed no change.
She didn't even look at him, still smiling gently as she gazed down at Shigure.
At this moment, high above, the dispersing poison gas was also immediately cleared.
The two threats that had just surrounded them—in less than a breath, Candle Dragon easily resolved them.
Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Mayuri Kurotsuchi had barely charged out before freezing in place.
They'd already prepared to battle their respective Zanpakutō, but now—completely wasted effort.
Both their expressions darkened. They wanted to curse but couldn't speak. Extremely frustrated.
However, this moment, Shigure and the others' attention naturally wasn't on them.
The Zanpakutō's attacks had struck toward Retsu Unohana and the others below. Though currently blocked by a Bakudō barrier before Unohana, still... two fists couldn't match four hands.
Once such fierce attacks continued, she definitely couldn't hold out.
The key was, the Zanpakutō's attacks were ever-changing. Blocking them comprehensively wasn't something easily done.
Judging this, Shigure didn't hesitate. He flash-stepped directly, vanishing from his spot.
Instantly arriving inside the barrier, appearing beside Retsu Unohana!
Seeing this, Unohana's gaze moved. Though her expression remained serious, her eyes clearly showed some joy.
However, before she could speak, Shigure quickly extended his hand, pressing it directly against the barrier wall Unohana had opened.
Without many words, he immediately injected his own spiritual pressure into this barrier's spiritual pressure flow.
BOOM!!
The instant Annihilation Reiatsu entered, the blue barrier light blazed brilliantly, directly surrounding all the wounded below!
This moment, the originally single-sided barrier became an omnidirectional enclosing barrier. Not a single Zanpakutō could enter!
But this still wasn't complete.
Suddenly, on the blue light wall where Shigure's palm touched, a strange black pattern appeared.
Before everyone could react, the barrier's blue light suddenly trembled violently, centered on this black flower!
The next moment, like water ripples, it instantly spread outward!
The various Zanpakutō attacks rushing forward—the instant they contacted this light wave—were directly deflected!!
Reversing to bombard the Zanpakutō themselves!
Purple lightning, crimson fire, ice flowers, wind blades—all reversed, charging back at them!!
This bizarre change and high speed—except for a few, most Zanpakutō had no time to react at all. They were struck one after another!!
Pff! Pff! Pff!
This moment, their gazes toward below filled completely with shock.
What?!
This, this was... what technique?!
The Zanpakutō high above all changed expression drastically, hurriedly dodging the techniques rushing at them.
The Soul Reapers nearby, seeing this scene, also froze completely.
To completely deflect all the Zanpakutō's attacks using barrier power... could this be...?!
Realizing this, Retsu Unohana's gaze also changed, staring blankly at Shigure.
The Zanpakutō didn't know this, but as Soul Reapers, they couldn't possibly not know—
This was Kidō power!
However, though they knew, they still couldn't quite believe it.
Could that Kidō really achieve this?
Sensing the gazes surrounding him, Shigure's eyes moved slightly. He smiled lightly, looking toward Unohana, saying:
"Heh, that's right."
"Bakudō #94: Sentan Hakkyoken."
"Though I haven't used it much before... my mastery level should be pretty decent, right?"
?!
Hearing this, Retsu Unohana completely froze.
Not just her—Shunsui Kyōraku and the others high above also froze somewhat.
It really was this Bakudō ranked #94!
Not only had he released it directly through Eishōhaki, but even deflected dozens of attacks simultaneously?!
You must know, the essence of 'Sentan Hakkyoken' lay in precisely seeing through the opponent's spiritual pressure flow and compressing the Kidō with identical spiritual pressure, thereby achieving the reversal of the opponent's attack to strike others!
This differed from "Hanki Sōsai" which destroyed others' Kidō—this was true counterattack technique!
Its special nature lay in how, no matter how strong the opponent's attack, as long as you could see through its spiritual pressure flow structure, you could basically reverse and utilize it!
But of course, such powerful Kidō meant extremely high difficulty!
Even Tessai Tsukabishi, the former Grand Kidō Chief of the Kidō Corps, might not achieve this level of Eishōhaki.
Yet now... Shigure not only did it, but simultaneously saw through all attacks completely!!
This guy... was he a monster?
