Chapter 133: Is Yecheng That Strong?
Chapter 133: Is Yecheng That Strong?
The tenfold red Hollow Flash was like a curtain, sliced in half by the blue Crescent Moon Strike.
The severed Hollow Flash shattered like glass, emitting a crisp cracking sound.
After completely pulverizing the ten Gillian-class Hollows, the high-density Crescent Moon Strike didn't dissipate entirely, despite its diminished momentum.
Instead, it effortlessly sliced through five of the Gillians, splitting their bodies in two!
This sudden turn of events stunned both sides.
However, compared to the grim-faced Aqueruga, the Shinigami camp was filled with elation.
Just as they were about to reach their limits, reinforcements had finally arrived!
"Kashiwazaki, thank you for your efforts. I'll take it from here."
Upon arriving, Yecheng surveyed the scene and quickly grasped the situation. He respectfully acknowledged Kashiwazaki Shuhei's efforts.
"Yecheng, are you the only one who came to support us from the Soul Society?"
Yecheng's arrival relieved Kashiwazaki Shuhei, but he was puzzled to sense only one spiritual pressure among the reinforcements.
He had reported the situation to his superiors, including the presence of a Gillian-class Hollow and even an Aqueruga-level Menos Grande. Why had the Seireitei sent only Yecheng?
It wasn't that Kashiwazaki Shuhei underestimated Yecheng; as fellow members of the Gotei 13, he had heard of Yecheng and knew he had been recommended for the position of Vice Captain.
This indicated that although Yecheng was currently a Fifth Seat, he possessed the capabilities of a Vice Captain, as evidenced by his use of Reishi Particle Slash to cleave through the Gillian's tenfold Hollow Flash.
Despite this, Kashiwazaki Shuhei still found it hard to believe that Yecheng alone could handle the numerous Hollows present, including the Aqueruga-level Menos Grande.
"Due to certain circumstances, Vice Captain Haiyan and I used the Kurosaki Family's Dimensional Gateway to reach the World of the Living ahead of the others, but we encountered some unexpected issues.
Additional reinforcements from other divisions should arrive shortly, so you don't need to worry too much, Kashiwazaki-daiso."
Hearing Yecheng's explanation, Kashiwazaki Shuhei's face turned speechless.
Upon confirming that the Seireitei had indeed dispatched substantial reinforcements, including a Captain, Kashiwazaki Shuhei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Yecheng assured him, he couldn't help but feel anxious. Yecheng had arrived just in time, but how long could he hold out alone?
"Yecheng, try to stall them, avoid direct confrontations, especially with the Aqueruga. It's incredibly fast, and its Steel Skin is harder than most Hollows. Even my Wind Death could only scratch its surface."
Believing that Yecheng was stronger, Kashiwazaki Shuhei thought that with caution, he could buy more time.
"Stall them? Why? If we eliminate them all, won't this rescue mission be a complete success?
Besides, there are many injured here. If they don't receive treatment soon, they'll be beyond saving."
Before anyone from the Shinigami camp could respond, the Aqueruga with the scythe arm couldn't help but scoff.
Originally, when he heard that the Shinigami reinforcements had arrived, he was still a bit flustered.
But upon confirming that the only reinforcement from Yecheng was a single Shinigami Captain, and that his mind didn't seem to be functioning properly, the Arrancar couldn't help but laugh again.
"Do you intend to take on all of us alone? You're just a Shinigami Captain, and you actually think you're a Shinigami Commander?
I've met plenty of arrogant Shinigami, but someone as ignorant as you, I've never seen before."
Actually, not only these Hollows, but even Hiyasaki Shuhei, Kira Izuru, and Hinamori Momo, who were currently trapped in the Mountain Inverter, felt that Yecheng was being a bit too arrogant at this moment.
Yecheng had just used a Reishi Particle Slash to block the Hollow Flash, which was powerful, but in terms of position, he was only a Captain like Hiyasaki Shuhei, and his rank was even lower than Hiyasaki's.
However, he was now ignoring Hiyasaki's advice and preparing to face so many Hollows alone. This wasn't just recklessness; it was pure suicide.
"What's that guy doing? Isn't it enough to just stall for time until the main force arrives?
Why is he pushing himself so hard? What if he really dies?"
"Yecheng must have his reasons, and I believe he can do it!"
Of course, not everyone present distrusted Yecheng's strength. At the very least, Rukia and Renji, who had witnessed Yecheng's Spiritual Pressure outburst before, somewhat believed that Yecheng had the ability to handle everything, even if it meant risking his life.
"It seems you're the strongest one here. In terms of Spiritual Pressure intensity, you're much weaker than that Arrancar named Nick.
If that's the case, even without using Initial Resurrection, just releasing the Spiritual Pressure Seal should be enough."
When he heard Nick's name from Yecheng, the Arrancar in front of Yecheng was already quite surprised.
Because, although they were both Arrancars, Nick was an evolved being favored by that great being, possessing a strength that almost overwhelmed him.
The fact that this Shinigami appeared here after encountering Nick meant...
"Boom——————!"
While the Arrancar was still lost in thought due to Yecheng's previous words, a massive, suffocating Spiritual Pressure that was overwhelming to the point of being suffocating directly snapped him out of his contemplative state.
Yecheng, who had just removed his hairpin and wristguard, instantly had his Spiritual Pressure surge like an inflating balloon, reaching its peak in an instant! A vast blue Spiritual Pressure flooded out like a dam bursting, and the sheer weight of it caused the lowest-level Hollows on the field to collapse under the pressure as if a thousand pounds had been placed upon them!
The Spiritual Pressure released after removing the wristguard's seal was not amplified by an Initial Resurrection, but it was more than enough for these enemies.
"What's going on? Such an absurdly powerful Spiritual Pressure, Hiyasaki, did Yecheng perform an Initial Resurrection?"
Even though they were separated by the Phantom Technique 'Mountain Inverter' and Yecheng was a bit farther away, the rookie Shinigami like Rukia behind him could still clearly sense this powerful and despair-inducing Spiritual Pressure.
"I'm not entirely sure either. Since we're from different divisions, I haven't seen Yecheng's Initial Resurrection, but with such an outrageous increase in Spiritual Pressure, it's likely that he has indeed released his Zanpakuto."
