"Then how did you become his son-in-law?" Aozaki Reiji asked.
"What do you mean?" Kuchiki Kōga tilted his head in confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
Seeing this, Aozaki Reiji couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly: Why is this foolish boy so obtuse? Why can't he grasp it?
"The Kuchiki family is one of the Five Great Noble Houses of Soul Society, and your wife is Lord Ginrei's beloved, the little princess of the Kuchiki family."
Aozaki Reiji said:
"If he wasn't satisfied with you, why would he so easily entrust his beloved daughter to you? Everything you wear symbolizes the Kuchiki family's identity and status!"
Upon hearing this, Kuchiki Kōga instinctively reached out to touch the Kenseikan on his head, then lowered his gaze to the vibrant red Fūkaza around his neck, his eyes suddenly widening.
"Could it be that my father-in-law...!" At this moment, Kuchiki Kōga finally had a sudden realization.
Aozaki Reiji felt quite speechless seeing Kuchiki Kōga finally understand.
He decided not to waste any more words and casually asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Kuchiki Kōga was momentarily stunned by the question.
"To lose to me, of course!"
Aozaki Reiji smiled slightly, then his body flickered like a phantom, vanishing from his spot in the blink of an eye.
An intensely scorching aura, as if capable of burning a person, rapidly approached Kuchiki Kōga like a meteor burning with raging flames.
Wherever it passed, the raging blizzard, which had been roaring, couldn't even get close to this heat before being instantly vaporized and melted into nothingness by its terrifying high temperature.
"Good!"
A glint of excitement flashed in Kuchiki Kōga's eyes, and an incomparably strong desire to fight surged within him. He roared loudly:
"Aozaki Reiji, today I will let you know that I, Kuchiki Kōga, will never always be defeated by you!"
With that, he unreservedly unleashed all the latent spiritual power within his body, his aura suddenly surging, as if a God of Combat had descended upon the world.
At this moment, Kuchiki Kōga was giving his all, for he knew that facing such a formidable enemy, holding back even slightly would be courting death.
However, just then, an anxious voice suddenly echoed deep within him:
"Master, his Zanpakuto's power is too immense; please be extremely careful!"
The speaker was Muramasa.
In fact, Muramasa was already severely injured at this time; let alone reforming a physical body, if it weren't for his very existence as a Shinigami's sword spirit, whether he could continue to survive was still an unknown.
Kuchiki Kōga nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light of firm confidence.
All worries and anxieties seemed to have vanished like smoke, and at this moment, he felt an unparalleled power surge within him, as if he had been reborn!
In an instant, a dense, light-purple glow emanated from his body, surging like a torrent of spiritual power, even causing the surrounding air to distort.
A powerful Reiatsu rippled outwards from the Zanpakuto's center, and the snowflakes that had been falling were impacted by the Reiatsu, surprisingly flying backward.
Whoosh!!
Accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound of air being torn, Kuchiki Kōga swung his Zanpakuto with all his might, and a dazzling Sword Pressure erupted.
He knew he absolutely couldn't let Aozaki Reiji get close to him, so he made this decisive choice!
The giant light-purple Sword Pressure, like lightning tearing through the sky, swept past with an unparalleled sharpness, instantly ripping apart the void.
Wherever it passed, the air was forcibly split open, and the ice and snow were shattered into countless ice shards, scattering everywhere.
Such terrifying might made even the entire world seem to tremble.
Facing the aggressive attack, Aozaki Reiji's eyes turned cold, and he immediately swung his sword without hesitation!
His swiftly unleashed "Getsuga Tensho" condensed on the sword, its surface covered in a brilliant and intensely hot, raging flame.
Aided by the strong wind, this strike was as fast as lightning and unstoppable!
Swish!!
Amidst the whistling sound of rushing wind, In an instant, Aozaki Reiji's Shinra Bansho, like a flash of lightning, struck Kuchiki Kōga's Sword Pressure.
"It's blocked!" Kuchiki Kōga was overjoyed, and his previously taut nerves instantly relaxed.
However, just then, a crisp "crack" sound was heard.
Before the smile on his face could fully bloom, an ominous premonition surged within him.
Indeed, the next moment, a heart-stopping shattering sound came from his Sword Pressure.
Immediately after, the originally majestic purple Sword Pressure suddenly disintegrated, like fragile porcelain.
Cracks spread rapidly, starting from the point of impact and quickly covering the entire Sword Pressure in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Kuchiki Kōga made a decisive move, his figure suddenly flickering as he rapidly retreated backward.
And almost at the instant he dodged, Aozaki Reiji's Getsuga Tensho erupted with overwhelming force, completely shattering his Sword Pressure.
The Reiatsu slash, burning with raging flames, shot out like an unbridled wild horse through the shattered cracks, leaving a massive, bottomless trench on the ground.
"Cough, cough..."
Accompanied by a violent fit of coughing, Kuchiki Kōga spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.
The man, who had narrowly escaped, raised his head in astonishment, his gaze fixed on Aozaki Reiji, muttering instinctively:
"This... how is this possible?!"
It was unbelievable that his full-power Sword Pressure had been so easily shattered.
In an instant, Kuchiki Kōga couldn't help but wonder if everything happening before his eyes was just an illusion.
And he was merely trapped in a strange illusion created by the new Third Division Captain who had come to visit him in prison.
However, Aozaki Reiji in mid-air remained composed, as if the thrilling confrontation just now had no effect on him.
He slightly tilted his head, glancing towards the distant sky, and thought to himself, "I need to finish this battle quickly."
Although this place was relatively secluded, surrounded by dense forest, the commotion from their intense battle was too great and had already attracted the attention of some people.
Aozaki Reiji's spiritual perception, far exceeding that of ordinary people, sensed that several spiritual pressures were rapidly approaching this direction.
Seeing this, the coughing Kuchiki Kōga was somewhat annoyed: "Reiji, where are you looking? I haven't lost yet!"
What did this mean? Getting distracted before the battle was over, was he looking down on him?
Soon, another purple Sword Pressure was launched from Muramasa's blade.
Whoosh!!
The Sword Pressure flew towards him, significantly smaller in volume than before. Aozaki Reiji casually swung his sword, shattering it.
Aozaki Reiji understood that Kuchiki Kōga was at the end of his rope; at this point, only his mouth was probably still strong!
Sure enough, the next second, Kuchiki Kōga suddenly stumbled, then fell backward onto the ground, losing consciousness.
