"Whoosh!"
Gray reishi wings flapped behind Kurosaki Tomohiko, and two Holy Arrows, formed from gray hurricanes, shot towards Kurosaki Hiro.
"Whoosh!"
Kurosaki Hiro immediately used Hirenkyaku to flash behind the altar.
"Bang!"
The gray Holy Arrow directly struck the Sternritter emblem on the altar. The entire altar shattered with a crash, and gusts of wind, mixed with the explosive aftermath, assailed the surroundings.
As Kurosaki Tomohiko's wings flapped, more gray arrows shot out. Faced with the endless gales, Kurosaki Hiro could only continuously dodge with Hirenkyaku.
Unexpectedly, just as Kurosaki Hiro was continuously dodging, Kurosaki Tomohiko suddenly appeared directly in front of him. Two hurricane axes, entirely formed from gray reishi, emerged in his hands and cleaved towards Kurosaki Hiro's face.
"Holy crap!"
With twin axes in front and arrows behind.
Kurosaki Hiro simply activated Move Blood Garment, then shot an arrow at the ground with full force, using the powerful inertia to propel himself away and avoid the pincer attack of arrows and axes. Just as he was about to hit the ground, he transformed into Blut Vene.
Thus, Kurosaki Hiro landed steadily, completely unharmed.
In an instant, the twin axes and the gray arrows collided.
"Whoosh!"
The gales howled, extinguishing all the braziers burning with blue reishi in the trial grounds.
"Such a nuisance!"
He hadn't expected that Kurosaki Tomohiko, who originally only had Vice-Captain level strength, would directly activate Vollständig after his Sacred Letter went berserk, causing his combat power to leap directly to Squad Captain level. And he also manipulated wind, making his combat power and destructive force much stronger than Kensei Muguruma. He probably had at least eight to nine 'cars' worth of power.
"This is tough! No wonder the Wandenreich could suppress the Soul Society in the early stages; the boost from these Sacred Letters and Vollständig is indeed a bit overpowered!"
Although Kurosaki Hiro possessed a strong physique and superb combat techniques, at the end of the day, the spiritual pressure of this clone only barely reached the sixth rank. With his combat skills, he could defeat strong Vice-Captains, but now, to directly fight a Squad Captain-level expert across three ranks, it seemed a bit strenuous.
There was no time for him to hesitate. As Kurosaki Tomohiko's wings flapped, four terrifying gray tornadoes formed in an instant.
Then, he activated Blut Vene, intending to rush over and engage Kurosaki Hiro in close combat.
"Whoosh!"
"Rain of Light!"
Kurosaki Hiro reacted even faster, directly using Hirenkyaku to flash behind him and unleash a volley of arrows. Unexpectedly, these arrows seemed unable to break through Kurosaki Tomohiko's Blut Vene.
"I knew it, Ishida Soken's moves are useless!"
This move had no effect, as if merely tickling the opponent. And those four gray tornadoes seemed to have eyes, constantly chasing Kurosaki Hiro from behind.
"No choice, I'll have to try that move on you!"
Originally, Kurosaki Hiro didn't want to use this move on his cheap old man, but the old man's attitude, as if saying 'don't leave unless you beat me,' left Kurosaki Hiro with no other good options.
In an instant, the scene of the giant Daiseikou appearing above Hueco Mundo kept flashing in Kurosaki Hiro's mind, combined with the regular flow of reishi he felt from Yhwach's blood.
At the same time, Kurosaki Hiro directly deactivated Blut Vene and activated Move Blood Garment. He also called upon all his spiritual pressure, simultaneously using reishi convergence to mobilize the few reishi in the trial grounds.
"Daiseikou!"
In an instant, a gigantic reishi bow and arrow formed behind Kurosaki Tomohiko and shot fiercely towards him!
At the same time, Kurosaki Tomohiko instinctively felt the approaching danger and pushed his Blut Vene to the extreme. His entire body burst forth with dazzling blue light.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, a powerful spiritual pressure storm raged wildly within the trial grounds, reducing the entire area to ruins. Fortunately, Yhwach's blood was no longer there, and the trial grounds had long since lost their purpose.
Dozens of breaths later, the sky-high dust dissipated, revealing Kurosaki Tomohiko's scarred body, his back a bloody mess, and he lay on the ground like a rug.
Clearly, taking the Daiseikou directly on his back, even with Blut Vene activated, had caused him extremely severe injuries.
"Yhwach's moves are still the most effective!"
If the other Sternritter members were to see Kurosaki Hiro so easily replicate Yhwach's ultimate technique, their jaws would probably drop.
Of course, the Daiseikou that Kurosaki Hiro condensed naturally couldn't compare to Yhwach's mountain-sized Holy Bow, but it was enough to deal with the berserk Sacred Letter.
It wasn't until about half an hour later that the unconscious Kurosaki Tomohiko slowly woke up, his pupils now back to normal.
"Ah!"
Feeling the pain of his broken bones and muscles, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and cry out in pain. He first looked up at the trial grounds, which had become ruins, then turned his head to find Kurosaki Hiro sitting beside him.
"Little Hiro, what happened? How did I end up here...?"
Kurosaki Tomohiko reached out and rubbed his head, which felt like it was about to split open. His mind was like waking up after a blackout from a hangover.
"Nothing happened, just a 'friendly exchange' between an uninterested son and an untalented father!"
About another half an hour later, the faint blue door reappeared above the fortress behind the main hall of the Star Brilliance Fortress.
A moment later, Kurosaki Hiro slowly walked out, supporting the injured Kurosaki Tomohiko.
Seeing this, Kurosaki Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to embrace them both.
"You two scared me to death!"
As she spoke, a clear tear slid down her delicate face.
Kurosaki Hiro and Kurosaki Tomohiko, two grown men, could only apologize repeatedly at this sight.
...
Tenkai Town, outskirts, a magnificent European-style ancient castle.
Even though it was broad daylight, the ancient castle exuded a chilling aura.
Inside the ancient castle, Koga Go looked at a young man with silver-white hair, wearing a brown robe, and a short scar on his jaw, who stood on the stairs.
"You mean, you accidentally discovered a Quincy while pursuing Soma Yoshino?"
Kariya Jin looked at Koga Go with excitement, then instantly flashed to his side.
"That's right, but that Quincy, though young, was very troublesome, so..."
"Then I'll go find that young Quincy!"
Just as Koga Go and Kariya Jin were conversing, a figure completely hidden in a white hood walked out from the side.
This person held a long sword, which was clearly a Zanpakuto, and hidden beneath the white hood was a soul reaper uniform.
"I am a Shinigami, more adept at sensing spiritual pressure than you Bount. As long as he's still near Tenkai Town, I will definitely find him."
To this, Kariya Jin smiled slightly:
"Then I'll trouble you, Ichinose Maki!"
The hooded man initially did not reply, simply walking on his own. It wasn't until he was out the door that his voice slowly drifted back:
"No need to thank me, this is merely a transaction between us. Just help me kill Zaraki Kenpachi once you enter the Soul Society!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep my promise!"
This hooded man was none other than Ichinose Maki, a former Eleventh Division member. He was a loyal follower of Kiryū, the previous Captain of the Eleventh Division.
It wasn't until Kiryū died in a duel at Zaraki Kenpachi's hands that Ichinose Maki, unable to avenge him and filled with hatred for Zaraki Kenpachi, left the Gotei 13 and hid in the Human World, biding his time to find a way to avenge Kiryū. By chance, he met Kariya Jin.
After witnessing Kariya Jin's power, he sought to use Kariya Jin's strength to avenge Kiryū.
