"Stop!"
The moment the black ocean appeared, the astounding spiritual pressure was sensed by Suì-Fēng inside the residence.
She roared, but before she could act, the black sludge had already surged in. The entire estate seemed to be drawn into a vortex on the sea's surface, about to be swallowed by the abyss!
Suì-Fēng used Shunpo to appear outside, where she saw Angra Mainyu.
Angra Mainyu's appearance naturally differed from Yoshio's—he was taller than Yoshio, with red eyes and long black hair.
He held a Zanpakutō, pure pitch black, seemingly flowing, with a chaotic, evil aura seeping from the darkness.
Seeing him, Suì-Fēng's pupils widened; she had never seen such a strange Hollow.
"Kisuke Urahara's accomplice?!"
Suì-Fēng suddenly spoke with deep hatred. "Sting all Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi!"
Facing Yoshio, whom she suspected to be Kisuke Urahara's ally, Suì-Fēng immediately released her Zanpakutō and charged at him!
Yoshio seemed to understand what made Suì-Fēng so determined; was it her hatred for Kisuke Urahara?
No matter—he had no intention of fighting a captain here.
Yoshio's main body had trained Shunpo to great proficiency, while Angra Mainyu, being a split body, naturally focused on honing Sonido.
Among all martial skills, speed is most important!
At the same time, Yoshio sensed Suì-Fēng's deep malice toward Kisuke Urahara. He greedily absorbed it and activated Sonido, arriving within the Tsunayashiro estate.
There were still quite a few branch members of the Tsunayashiro Clan. Seeing the black ocean suddenly surge in, they knew it was an attack and immediately launched an assault on Yoshio.
Though they lacked Zanpakutō, they had basic combat skills and were elite death squads.
They attacked without regard for their lives, but in front of him, they couldn't withstand even a single move!
Yoshio cut a Tsunayashiro member cleanly in two. On the far side of the bisected corpse was Suì-Fēng; through the sundered body's center, Suì-Fēng thrust at Yoshio!
Yoshio parried with his blade—he knew Suzumebachi's trick, Nigeki Kessatsu; if he was stung in the same place twice, he was done!
"Do we have to go all-out, impostor?"
Yoshio murmured to Suì-Fēng, "How about we cooperate? I'll tell you where Kisuke Urahara is, and you let me go."
"Besides, you should hate the Tsunayashiro Clan too, right?"
Suì-Fēng's pupils contracted. She asked in a low voice, "Are you Kisuke Urahara's subordinate—or his enemy?"
"Don't know. But I know where he is," Yoshio said gravely. "Not just him—Yoruichi Shihōin is there too."
"Tell me. Where are they?!"
"Tokyo. I'll give you the exact location later."
"No problem," Suì-Fēng immediately began "fighting" Yoshio.
The two appeared to be in a fierce battle, but were in fact only using Sonido and Shunpo to shift positions repeatedly, while Yoshio, moving around, kept slaughtering members of the Tsunayashiro Clan.
Just as Yoshio's blade pierced another Tsunayashiro member, he suddenly felt a powerful burning sensation!
Suì-Fēng's face changed. "Captain-Commander Yamamoto is here! Quickly—where are Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara?!"
Yoshio looked around. Four-fifths of the Tsunayashiro estate had already sunk, with only a sliver left before his "All the World's Evil" completely swallowed it.
Yes—he planned to uproot the entire Tsunayashiro Clan!
Since he didn't know the exact locations of the Tsunayashiro Clan's other treasures, he might as well move the entire estate and search slowly later!
His current body was very convenient for such things—like an ocean that could contain anything.
Of course, entering his body meant being tainted by him. Not only life, but matter itself could be corrupted.
And now, only a little remained before this grand residence would be entirely submerged into him.
That old man sure came fast!
Yoshio said coldly, "Do me a favor—don't resist, and I'll tell you their location at once."
Suì-Fēng, an imaginary body dominated by malice and hatred for Kisuke Urahara, dropped her guard at once upon hearing this, saying nothing.
So Yoshio thrust his blade into Suì-Fēng's abdomen, and a surge of darkness spread from him into her belly.
The darkness rapidly invaded Suì-Fēng's body. She suddenly let out a scream.
"Ah!!!"
As if stimulated by something, Suì-Fēng's eyes turned utterly pitch black, without a trace of white.
At that moment, Yoshio activated his Souls Ability, "All the World's Evil," pouring malice into Suì-Fēng's body.
However, since Yoshio hadn't accumulated much malice, even if Suì-Fēng resisted, it wasn't enough to completely blacken her.
And Suì-Fēng still had self-awareness—she guessed what Yoshio intended: to use her to stall Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Though tantamount to suicide, she would do anything to learn Kisuke Urahara's whereabouts!
Yoshio whispered, ""They're in Karakura Town."
With that, Suì-Fēng dashed toward the source of the searing heat.
"!"
Captain-Commander Yamamoto seemed not to have expected Suì-Fēng to attack him. He paused slightly; the attack he'd prepared had to be launched at Suì-Fēng first.
Boom!
Fierce flames engulfed Suì-Fēng; when they receded, her body looked charred, with copious black vapor seeming to evaporate from her.
Yamamoto ignored Suì-Fēng entirely and swung his sword at Yoshio again!
But Suì-Fēng's momentary interference was enough!
As the fire wave of Ryūjin Jakka roared in, Yoshio finally and completely devoured the Tsunayashiro Clan!
"Goodbye!"
Yoshio quickly opened a Garganta. At the instant the flames roared in, he vanished into it and disappeared!
Boom!
A massive burst of flame erupted at the former site of the now-vanished Tsunayashiro estate. With a thunderous roar, the violent blaze speared into the sky, as if even the clouds were melting!
