Chapter 347: The Shinigami Master of Sword, Fist, and Ghost
Chapter 347: The Shinigami Master of Sword, Fist, and Ghost
The Hollow Flash, split apart, was like a rushing torrent encountering an obstructing rock, diverting into two streams and leaving a large "Y" shaped gully on the ground.
As the other four figures landed, they witnessed Yecheng, who had just split the Hollow Flash with his bare hands, and their faces were filled with horror.
The four who arrived were two men and two women. One man had long golden hair, resembling an artist, while the other had short white hair, giving off a tough, rugged style.
One of the women wore glasses and a sailor uniform, exuding a seductive aura. The other had green shoulder-length hair and wore protective goggles, presenting a lively and playful style.
These four individuals were none other than the former 9th Division Captain Rikusha Kensei, the original 3rd Division Captain Hokyoryu Juichiro, the former 8th Division Vice-Captain Yatomaru Risasha, and the current 9th Division Vice-Captain Kuhnam Shiro.
The one who had previously used a Hollow Flash to save the day was Hokyoryu Juichiro in his Hollowfied state, his mask resembling a bird-like creature.
As a former Shinigami Captain, the power of Hokyoryu Juichiro's Hollow Flash in his Hollowfied state was far superior to that of an average Menos Grande. It could even rival that of Torstvaard, but now, it had been split apart by bare hands, leaving them in shock.
"Be careful, this guy is a monster. His aura, swordsmanship, and Zanpakuto abilities are all insanely powerful."
The reason Hokyoryu Juichiro and the others rushed here was mainly because Yoshizada Bakugen, who had been maintaining the barrier and had not joined the fight, secretly contacted them.
When Hira and the others were at a disadvantage, Yoshizada Bakugen realized something was amiss and contacted Hokyoryu Juichiro and the others, who were on standby at their base.
"Even without your reminder, we can see that this guy is quite formidable.
With such intense aura and the technique he just used to split the Hollow Flash, it must be the combat technique used by Shiba Yoruichi. Is he from the 2nd Division?"
To be honest, when they saw Hira and the others covered in wounds, Hokyoryu Juichiro and his group were genuinely surprised.
Having spent so much time together in the Human World, they were well aware of their comrades' strengths.
But even against multiple enemies and in a Hollowfied state, they were still being overwhelmed. Hokyoryu Juichiro and the others had never expected this.
When Yoshizada Bakugen contacted them earlier, the other four members of the Menos Grande at the base were wondering what kind of opponent they were up against. But upon arriving, they discovered that the opponent was merely a single individual.
Moreover, this person was unfamiliar to Hokyoryu Juichiro and the others. At the very least, they could confirm that the opponent was not a former Captain or Vice-Captain of the Gotei 13.
"White Super Side Kick!"
Kuhnam Shiro, who valued her comrades, was furious at the sight of the injured Hira and Nishiri. She immediately entered her Hollowfied state and delivered a powerful kick towards Yecheng.
Among the Shinigami's "Sword, Fist, and Ghost" techniques, Kuhnam Shiro excelled in unarmed combat. This was her usual fighting style, and in terms of skill, she had surpassed many Shinigami Captains.
However, as her kick struck towards Yecheng, it was blocked by his clenched right fist.
The moment their fists clashed, the surrounding ground shook violently, like boiling water, and numerous stones were sent flying into the air.
"Let me teach you something. Don't use a flying kick when facing an unknown opponent, because without a foothold in the air, you simply can't adjust your posture flexibly!"
As he spoke, Yecheng released his tightly clenched fist and directly grabbed Bai's ankle. Under his gaze, which seemed to suppress his opponent, he violently slammed Bai to the ground!
As a master of unarmed combat, Kuuho Shiro naturally wouldn't fall for Yecheng's shoulder toss. Instead, as she landed face-first on the ground, she quickly used both hands to brace herself and, using her hands as an axis, attempted a Thomas spinning kick to break free and counter-attack Yecheng.
Unfortunately for her, Yecheng had anticipated her move. As her Thomas spinning kick struck towards Yecheng's arm, he also plunged the other short knife in his hand into the ground, blocking with one hand and striking her waist with the other!
The powerful impact, accompanied by a wave of force, sent Kuuho Shiro flying. Just as she was about to be knocked back at high speed, Rikusha Kensei, who had been watching from the side, finally reacted and rushed over to catch the flying Kuuho Shiro in a hug.
The confrontation between Bai and Yecheng seemed extremely intense, but in reality, it had only lasted for a few seconds.
Let's not mention Hokyoryu Juichiro and the others who had just arrived, but Hirako and Nishiri, who had been fighting Yecheng for a long time, were completely stunned at this moment.
It was true that Shinigami were masters of 'Sword, Fist, and Ghost', but how many Shinigami could truly master the art of swordsmanship, unarmed combat, Shunpo, and Kido to perfection?
In their previous confrontation, Hirako and the others had assumed that Yecheng was a Shinigami who specialized in swordsmanship. But now, it seemed that the situation was not as they had thought.
Bai's skill in unarmed combat could be considered the best among them, yet her opponent had just effortlessly suppressed her with his own unarmed combat skills. This meant that his 'unarmed combat' was not merely at a passing grade, but he was highly proficient in it!
Not only was his swordsmanship exceptionally strong, but his 'unarmed combat' had also reached such a high level?
Just as Bai was knocked away, a cold glint suddenly appeared from Yecheng's side, followed by a sound of tearing through the air. A long spear, resembling a swimming dragon, instantly pressed towards Yecheng's face!
Facing the swift spear thrust, Yecheng had no choice but to continuously retreat, while his opponent, holding the long spear, relentlessly closed in.
As Yecheng's body retreated to the ground where the Other Shore was planted, he casually pulled out the long sword embedded in the ground. Then, holding both swords in an 'X' shape, he directly blocked the spearhead that was thrusting towards him.
"Iron Splashing Dragonfly? It's been a long time since we last met. As an old friend, your way of greeting me, Risasha, is not very friendly."
The Iron Splashing Dragonfly was a rare long spear-type Shikai Zanpakuto in the Soul Society, and its wielder, Yatomaru Risasha, was someone Yecheng was quite familiar with.
There was no other reason; Yecheng was a member of the Thirteenth Division, and Yatomaru Risasha was the former Vice-Captain of the Eighth Division. Their Captains, Fukuzumi Juichiro and Kyoraku Shunsui, were the best of friends in the Soul Society.
Therefore, it was only natural that Yecheng and Yatomaru Risasha knew each other, and it was common knowledge that Yecheng was a handsome devil, clearly standing out even among the entire Seireitei. Yatomaru Risasha, on the other hand, was known for being a beauty.
As an old friend who admired his looks, it wasn't just a day or two that Yatomaru Risasha had her eyes on Yecheng.
In the Eighth Division and Thirteenth Division, both Captains wielded dual Zanpakuto, while both Vice-Captains wielded long spear-type Zanpakuto. In the Gotei 13, this could be considered a coincidental match.
