Chapter 487: Black Zaki Ichigo, Male, Gets Bullied Again
Chapter 487: Black Zaki Ichigo, Male, Gets Bullied Again
The two figures, one tall and the other short, were both dressed in white, indicating they were likely from the same organization.
While the black-haired youth appeared calm and devoid of emotional fluctuations, the other, a muscular hulk, was clearly hot-tempered and acted recklessly.
Upon arriving in the Human World, the bulky man immediately attacked a passing human, consuming their soul as a snack.
"Yamimi, don't forget our primary objective this time," Uryuola said, not particularly repulsed by Yamimi's attack on the human but reminding him not to lose sight of their mission.
"I just wanted to taste the souls of humans and Shinigami to see the difference. The result? It's just ordinary."
Yamimi, tossing aside the human's remains, grinned with amusement as he noticed two figures approaching from a distance.
Their main task in the Human World was to investigate and gather information, and also to observe the rumored Black Zaki Ichigo and assess his capabilities.
"Crescent Sky Thrust!"
Before Ichigo could reach them, he witnessed Yamimi's attack on an innocent human, which infuriated him. Recognizing the man as a threat, Ichigo unleashed his own "Crescent Sky Thrust" towards him!
The blue-white crescent-shaped strike skimmed the ground, leaving a deep furrow in its wake, creating an astonishing impact.
However, to Ichigo and Lucia's surprise, the two men didn't even attempt to dodge the compressed high-density spirit particle strike.
The muscular hulk, in particular, stepped forward to confront the Crescent Sky Thrust, gathering his spiritual pressure into his fist and punching it!
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, Ichigo and Lucia were astonished to see the Crescent Sky Thrust, capable of instantly killing an Abyssal Beast, being shattered by a single punch from the man!
Ichigo was almost driven to self-loathing by what he witnessed. Since learning the "Crescent Sky Thrust," this move had seemingly failed to kill anyone when used against stronger opponents.
Moreover, whether in Soul Society or the Human World, blocking the Crescent Sky Thrust with a single hand had become a common display of strength among the powerful.
First, Night City's single-handed crushing of the Crescent Sky Thrust, then Shunsui Kyoraku, and now this tall man—these individuals were treating his ultimate move with disdain.
Was it a means of showing off, a tool to flaunt their superiority? Or was it a mere combat power calculation?
"Ichigo, be careful. Their spiritual pressure is astonishing, and it feels similar to the Hollows in Soul Society."
The fact that Ichigo's Shikai "Crescent Sky Thrust" could shatter it head-on already indicated the men's formidable strength.
Lucia, concerned that Ichigo might get carried away as usual, quickly reminded him to be cautious.
"Do you mean the Hollows that invaded Soul Society? They were merely half-baked cannon fodder.
Our current state is the true Hollow, and unlike ordinary Hollows, we stand at the pinnacle as the Espada."
When Lucia first saw Yamimi and Uryuola, she found their features quite peculiar.
Although they exuded a Hollow-like aura, their physical appearance resembled Shinigami more, as she had never seen or even heard of a Hollow wielding a Zanpakuto.
The Arrancars who had previously invaded the Soul Society also possessed Hollow holes and broken masks, but their forms and powers were clearly not as perfect as the two individuals before them.
Rukia could only speculate that after obtaining the Hogyoku, Aizen's research on the Arrancars had progressed even further, and the two Arrancars they now faced were the true perfect Arrancars!
"I don't care if you're an Arrancar or not! Since you dare to run rampant in my city, I'll cut you down!"
Ichigo's rage had been building since Yammi's previous slaughter of ordinary humans, as his mother's cruel death at the hands of a Hollow was still fresh in his memory.
Even facing an unknown enemy, Ichigo, now blinded by anger, didn't plan to heed Rukia's advice to be cautious. Instead, he directly unleashed his Bankai and charged towards Yammi.
In his Bankai state, Ichigo's spiritual pressure surged, and his speed reached an astonishing level in an instant.
As the ground beneath him shattered, his figure transformed into a black afterimage in the air, and in just a few breaths, he reached Yammi.
Yammi was clearly caught off guard by Ichigo's sudden burst of speed. Facing Ichigo's swinging blade, he could only instinctively raise his hand to block the attack.
The next second, a string of blood flew into the air, and a deep gash appeared on Yammi's arm.
Before Ichigo could even feel satisfied with his successful attack, his body was already punched away by Yammi's other hand.
Enraged and injured, Yammi gathered his spiritual pressure and struck Ichigo with a powerful punch.
Ichigo felt as if he had been hit by a large truck, his bones breaking instantly, and his body flew backward like a cannonball, destroying two entire streets!
"Yammi, don't forget Aizen's orders," Ulquiorra, standing nearby, reminded with his usual expressionless face.
During this trip to the Human World, Aizen had instructed them to fight Ichigo but not to kill him, as he still held great value.
Ulquiorra faithfully followed Aizen's orders, and now he worried that Yammi, driven by anger, might lose control and kill Ichigo.
However, Yammi, who had already entered a state of fury, seemed to pay no attention to Ulquiorra's reminder.
Staring at the ruins where Ichigo had just fallen, Yammi extended his palm and began rapidly gathering spiritual pressure, preparing to use the unique technique of the Espada, 'Cero Oscuras,' to finish Ichigo off.
Rukia, witnessing the scene before her, didn't have time to consider whether she was a match for them. She quickly entered Shinigami mode, rushed to Ichigo's side, and released her Zanpakuto.
"The power of our Espada's Cero Oscuras is worlds apart from that of an ordinary Cero.
Since you intend to protect him, you two Shinigami will die together!"
As the Cero Oscuras blasted towards them, Rukia tightly gripped her Sode no Shirayuki. Just as she prepared to make a desperate move, a certain green-hatted merchant suddenly appeared before her, raising his Zanpakuto—Crimson Maiden!
