Chapter 475: Fierce Battle in Yecheng with the Captain Commander!
Chapter 475: Fierce Battle in Yecheng with the Captain Commander!
The terrifying heat, reaching up to 6000 degrees, instantly burned through the earth's surface, turning it into molten lava.
Witnessing the scorching pillar of fire soaring into the sky, Yecheng couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of dread.
Such intense heat would instantly vaporize an ordinary person.
However, for a Shinigami, using their Spiritual Pressure to envelop themselves could withstand such terrifying temperatures.
Of course, this was only possible if one's Spiritual Pressure was strong enough, like Kenpachi Zaraki, whose overwhelming Spiritual Pressure could prevent most Shinigami from even drawing their swords.
As long as one's Spiritual Pressure reached a certain level, even bathing in the Captain Commander's Blade of Flowing Flame wouldn't be impossible.
Similarly, if there was a significant disparity in Spiritual Pressure, then even using it for defense would result in being instantly defeated by the Blade of Flowing Flame.
With his Spiritual Pressure completely unsealed, Yecheng's power was not much weaker than the Captain Commander's Shikai.
Even facing such an attack, it was impossible for the Captain Commander to instantly defeat Yecheng, but it was inevitable that he would suffer some injuries.
"Spirit Energy Pulse!"
Yecheng leaped backward, avoiding the flames, and bit the short sword in his hand. With a backhand motion, he fired a Spirit Energy-infused version of the technique directly at the Captain Commander.
The Spirit Energy Bullet Yecheng used this time was far more powerful than the one he had used against Genryusai Tosen.
Previously, he had only released one seal on his Spiritual Pressure, but now it was fully unleashed.
As the name suggested, the Spirit Energy Bullet was a technique that concentrated and fired Spiritual Pressure, and with Yecheng's current strength, the power of this move had skyrocketed.
Watching Yecheng effortlessly throw a massive compressed Spirit Energy Bullet with a diameter of several meters, the Captain Commander, who had been squinting, now opened his eyes wide.
Although he didn't understand how Yecheng had managed to use a Kido-like ability without incantation, he could sense the astonishing power contained within the Reiryoku sphere flying towards him.
If it were to hit the ground, it would instantly reduce several streets in the Seireitei to rubble.
"Matsu Akari!"
As the enormous Spirit Energy Bullet shot towards him, the Captain Commander sheathed his Blade of Flowing Flame and then performed a drawing motion.
Just as Yecheng's massive Spirit Energy Bullet was mere meters away, the Captain Commander made his move.
The instant the Blade of Flowing Flame was drawn, a tornado-like wall of flames instantly enveloped and ignited the huge Spirit Energy Bullet.
The compressed Spiritual Pressure seemed to fuel the flames, and Yecheng's Spirit Energy Bullet was first split in half midair before being devoured by the raging inferno at an astonishing speed.
The scorching heat had spread across a radius of several hundred meters, turning the battlefield where Yecheng and the Captain Commander fought into a blazing inferno.
The other combatants had long since retreated due to the aftershocks of their battle.
Aizen and Shiman Gin, however, still held Lucia captive as they calmly watched the fight from a distance.
"The Captain Commander's strength is truly terrifying. Even with Captain Aizen's protection, I can still feel the scorching heat waves hitting my face."
Although Gin spoke meekly, his face maintained a smile, and no one could discern his true thoughts as he watched Yecheng and the Captain Commander battle in the distance.
"The strongest Shinigami in Soul Society and the oldest Zanpakuto possess such strength, which is entirely reasonable.
Night City's Third Seat's performance was somewhat beyond my expectations.
The heat emitted by Captain Commander's Ryujin Jakka was so intense that even a typical Vice-Captain would likely be reduced to ashes in its proximity, yet Night City's Third Seat managed to hold his own against the Captain Commander.
From a distance, Aizen observed the aftermath of the Spirit Energy Bullet and Ryujin Jakka's eruption, instantly leveling the surrounding area. A slight smile of surprise graced his face.
Initially, he had intended to use Rukia to threaten Night City and irritate the Gotei 13, but he hadn't anticipated Night City's formidable strength, even when facing the Captain Commander without the slightest fear.
Through this battle with the Captain Commander, Aizen had gathered valuable data, giving him a better chance against the old monster of a Captain Commander next time.
However, there was one thing that troubled Aizen—the unexpected emergence of Night City as an exceptionally powerful fighter, something he hadn't foreseen.
Although Aizen had kept an eye on Night City before, he genuinely hadn't imagined he could be this strong.
Especially now, witnessing the Captain Commander engaging in an ultra-high-speed sword technique and unarmed combat, Aizen's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension.
As the Spirit Energy Bullet was consumed by Ryujin Jakka, Night City, relying on his Spiritual Pressure storm, instantly appeared beside the Captain Commander, attempting to seize the opportunity to counter-attack.
"Excellent reflexes, and perfect timing too. No wonder Captain Sado Yachiru praised you as a born warrior."
However, just as Night City's longsword was about to strike the Captain Commander, the temperature around them began to rise rapidly. Sensing the increasing Spiritual Pressure from the Captain Commander, Night City instinctively realized something was amiss.
But by the time he understood that he had fallen into a trap, that the Captain Commander had deliberately exposed a weakness to lure him in, it was already too late.
"Inferno Hell!"
Dozens of colossal pillars of fire suddenly erupted from the ground, sealing off Night City's escape routes from all directions and rapidly converging together.
With fire pillars surrounding him, Night City had no means of escape. As the intense heat rushed towards him, leaving no way to retreat, Night City could only grit his teeth and stab himself in the waist with his shortsword.
"Boom—!"
The moment the dozens of pillars converged, the flames were instantly detonated, and their terrifying power instantly turned the ground within a radius of several dozen kilometers into scorched earth! And this was with the Captain Commander holding back; the original power of this technique could cover a radius of over a hundred kilometers.
However, considering Night City's natural talent and strength, and the fact that he hadn't truly betrayed the Soul Society, the Captain Commander, with his love for talent, restrained the technique's power.
"It's over. If you can't listen, little devil, then lie down obediently over there."
After shaking off the flames from his sword, the Captain Commander didn't even bother to glance back at the raging fire storm behind him.
Just as he was about to leave, a loud shout came from behind him.
"What do you mean it's over? Captain Commander, do you think you can defeat me so easily? You underestimate me!"
