Chapter 343: Is this guy Kenpachi?!
As he surveyed the half-destroyed street, Makoto Hihoko initially thought that Yecheng might be killed by the agitated Nishiri, who was losing her temper.
But soon, he sensed the constantly intensifying aura amidst the dust, and couldn't help but exclaim with a worried expression, "Be careful, Nishiri! That guy's aura hasn't disappeared; it's even getting stronger!"
As the ground shattered, the entire street instantly became a scene of devastation, and the flying dust enveloped the surroundings in an instant.
Just as Nishiri thought that her full-power strike might have killed Yecheng, she suddenly heard Makoto Hihoko's shout.
At the same time, a calm male voice also suddenly echoed in front of Nishiri.
"Fourth Path of Destruction - Lightning Flash!"
A white lightning bolt suddenly pierced through the dust and shot out. Thanks to Makoto Hihoko's earlier warning, Nishiri managed to dodge the attack by turning her head at the last moment.
However, as droplets of blood fell, her right shoulder was pierced by the white lightning, and even a corner of the mask on her face was directly shattered by the bolt.
Seeing Nishiri injured and retreating from the dust, Makoto Hihoko and the others also exclaimed in surprise. Then, Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu both rushed into the dust with angry expressions.
Don't be fooled by the constant bickering among the "Menos Grande"; due to their shared experiences, they have an excellent relationship.
Witnessing Nishiri's near-death experience, Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu were naturally filled with rage at this moment.
"Blessing and Curse, Twisting Cause and Effect———Ferryman!"
A powerful aura surged from within the dust, and the swirling dust was instantly dispersed by the powerful gust of wind.
Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu's Zanpakuto, which they had swung down, were now blocked by Yecheng's two hands, one holding a long and the other a short Zanpakuto.
"Night God Style Second Technique - Defense Reversal!"
As they saw their strikes blocked, Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu didn't have time to be surprised before their Zanpakuto seemed to generate a gravitational force, pulling them towards it.
Yecheng, positioned in the middle, rotated his body, causing Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu's bodies to move with him, and due to inertia, they ended up slashing towards each other!
Fortunately, whether it was Makoto Hihoko or Aikawa Raibu, both former Shinigami Captains, managed to halt their blades at the last moment, leaving only shallow cuts on each other's bodies.
"So this is the power of your Zanpakuto!"
Observing Yecheng after his Initial Release, with an aura that was completely different from before, Makoto Hihoko's expression turned grim as she stared at Yecheng.
It was common knowledge that when a Shinigami released their Zanpakuto, it amplified their aura, and Yecheng's aura was already formidable. Now, after his Initial Release, his aura's intensity had even surpassed Nishiri's.
"No, the ability of my Zanpakuto isn't limited to this. Just now, I merely borrowed strength to strike; consider it one of my sword techniques."
Simple? Hearing Yecheng's seemingly casual words, Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu exchanged glances, and then, with a mutual nod, an incredibly powerful pressure erupted from their bodies.
"Fall, Defiance!"
"Smash him, Kitsunebi!"
Two powerful auras burst forth from Makoto Hihoko and Aikawa Raibu. After confirming Yecheng's strength, they both decided to release their Zanpakuto.
Furthermore, after releasing their Zanpakuto, they simultaneously reached up and wiped their faces, pulling out a mask belonging to a Hollow.
"Is this what they call 'Hollowification'? The aura of a Shinigami mixed with that of a Hollow is truly astonishing.
"As he observed the hollowfied group, Yecheng tightly gripped the Ferryman and carefully examined Hira Subcommander and Aikawa Raibu. After a moment, he calmly assessed the situation."
"You can maintain your composure for now, but in a moment, I'll smash that face of yours to pieces!"
Although the "Menos Grande" had already mastered 'Hollowification', when using it, their emotions would inevitably be amplified to some extent by the hollow's power.
So, Hira Subcommander, who already disliked Yecheng, became even more ferocious after hollowfying.
The second round of confrontation began. Hira Subcommander and Aikawa Raibu, having released their Zanpakuto, and Nishiri Subcommander, seeking revenge after sustaining injuries, rushed forward to surround Yecheng.
Initially, Hira Subcommander and the others thought that with three against one, especially with their Zanpakuto's initial release and hollowfying, they would easily overpower Yecheng.
But the current outcome was far beyond their expectations.
Yecheng held a long and a short Zanpakuto in each hand, and his sword dance was executed to perfection. No matter how fiercely Hira Subcommander and Nishiri Subcommander attacked, they couldn't find a single opening.
"Is this guy Kenpachi? He's the Third Seat of the Thirteenth Division, why is his swordsmanship so ridiculously strong!"
Despite being outnumbered, Hira Subcommander soon realized the problem.
The Yecheng before them had incredibly high-level swordsmanship. Even with their initial release and hollowfying, their aura was no less than his.
However, he skillfully used his exquisite swordsmanship to negate the numerical disadvantage! They were well aware that they were three against one, and among them were two former Shinigami Captains. If they were to fight him one-on-one...
The long sword took the offensive, while the short sword defended. Despite being outnumbered, Yecheng not only held his ground but gradually gained the upper hand over Hira Subcommander and the others.
As Hira Subcommander had said, Yecheng's unleashed aura was actually on par with theirs.
In battles between Shinigami, aura determined the outcome, but that was in the context of a direct clash of abilities. Combat techniques and experience were equally crucial factors in determining the final victory.
And in both combat techniques and experience, Yecheng had the upper hand, for he was a man with an external cheat code, carrying the accumulation of multiple worlds on his shoulders!
"Blazing Mallet!"
As Yecheng once again used his long sword to force Hira and Nishiri back, Aikawa Raibu tightly gripped his released Zanpakuto, leaped high into the air, and struck down at Yecheng.
Aikawa Raibu's Kitsunebi, in its released state, was a massive club. As he brought down the club, a layer of flames enveloped its surface.
"Boom——————!"
The already half-destroyed street was completely devastated by Aikawa Raibu's attack.
Shattered rocks flew like bullets, and as the club struck its target, a towering pillar of fire erupted, scorching the surrounding area with intense heat.
"Kazumitsu, is the barrier holding up?" Hira glanced worriedly at Yoshizada Bakugen, who was maintaining the barrier nearby, seeing the massive impact of the battle.
Those fighting here were at least Captain-level, and Hira was concerned that the unleashed aura might attract attention, so they had specifically set up a barrier.
