Chapter 495: I, Yecheng, the Pure Love War God, Specialized in Slaying Bull-headed Hollows
Shoda Bosuke, who was maintaining the barrier, had his hands clasped together, trembling all over, drenched in sweat, and continuously releasing spiritual energy to repair the surrounding barrier.
Without engaging in the battle, he had already exhausted himself just by maintaining the barrier around them.
The old warehouse that served as the base for the Masked Army had been completely destroyed by the collision of their Hollow Flashes.
Rampant spirit pressure ravaged every corner of the barrier, obliterating all the shipping containers and other objects that were previously scattered throughout the warehouse.
The terrifying spiritual pressure impact even altered the terrain of the area.
Due to the Hollow Flash collision, both Haku and Hira suffered varying degrees of injury, but compared to the disheveled Hira, Haku's Rapid Regeneration had already healed his wounds in just a few moments.
As Haku charged out of the smoke, appearing at an astonishing speed in front of Rokkaku Kunishi, and swung his blade towards Kunishi's defenseless back, Hira quickly pushed him away and chose to strike Haku with his own blade.
Blood, like red silk, flew into the air, and Hira, who took a direct hit from Haku, had a terrifying gash across his chest.
As for Haku, although he also took a hit from Hira, his Rapid Regeneration ability caused the white substance on his chest to writhe, followed by a sizzling sound of white smoke, and his wound was quickly healed.
Seeing Hira's severe injury, Haku's lips curled up in a disdainful laugh, just as he was about to deliver a follow-up strike, his raised Heavenly Lock Moon Slash was entangled by Hokyuryu Jiro's Vajra.
However, Haku didn't seem to care about the golden whip's entanglement and instead extended his clawed arm, pulling Jiro aside with brute force.
As time passed, Haku's Hollowification continued to intensify. Ichigo, who often interfered, might have been in a state of self-imposed isolation due to recent defeats, as he failed to suppress Haku as he usually did.
Apart from the absence of a Hollow Hole on his body, Haku was now indistinguishable from the bull-headed Hollow he fought against.
Hira and the others watched as Ichigo's Hollowification progressed, their faces growing increasingly grave.
They had never imagined that the Hollow within Ichigo Kurosaki would be so dangerous. If they had known earlier, they would have made some preparations.
As time passed, not only did Ichigo's spiritual pressure and threat intensify, but he also possessed the formidable ability of Rapid Regeneration, leaving them at a loss.
If they unleashed their full Bankai, they might defeat him, but what would they say to Uryu Ishida and Yagi if they killed Ichigo?
They were tasked with nurturing a secret weapon against Aizen, not with severing their own limbs.
However, if they didn't defeat Ichigo Kurosaki's Hollowification, by the time he was completely consumed by the Hollow within, they would be the ones facing death.
"If it's not a problem, may I be his opponent? Rapid Regeneration isn't a challenging ability for me.
Furthermore, Captain Rukia Kuchiki instructed me to protect Ichigo Kurosaki, and considering my relationship with his parents, I'd be quite troubled if he died here.
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Hira and the others had yet to react when the Bull-Head Phantom, with a "Sound Turn" and "Instant Step", appeared before Yecheng at an astonishing speed and slashed down with his long sword!
The Bull-Head Phantom possessed self-awareness and fought with a certain madness, but it wasn't mindlessly reckless.
Based on Ichigo's memories, he had long noticed Yecheng, who had been observing the battle.
Compared to the members of the Masked Army, the Bull-Head Phantom deemed Yecheng a greater threat, so he planned to eliminate him first!
As they witnessed the Bull-Head Phantom's incredible speed, Hirako and the injured members beside him suddenly realized that this opponent, with whom they had been fighting for so long, had been holding back!
"Ding——————!"
Before the descending slash of the Heavenly Lock Moon Slash could even touch Yecheng's body, it was blocked by a horizontally held long sword.
The powerful impact caused the ground beneath Yecheng's feet to crack instantly, but his unwavering arm firmly withstood the Bull-Head Phantom's full-force attack.
Yecheng, having blocked the Bull-Head Phantom's strike with his sword, kicked out, aiming for the opponent's abdomen in a counterattack. However, the Bull-Head Phantom, seemingly anticipating this, instinctively backflipped, dodging Yecheng's attack.
"Binding Art Sixty-Three: Chain Bind!"
But as the Bull-Head Phantom retreated, he never expected that Yecheng had predicted his own prediction. As the Bull-Head Phantom's body moved back, Yecheng's other hand suddenly shot out numerous glowing chains, entangling his body.
Before the Bull-Head Phantom could exert force to break free from the chains, he soon found himself bound, his body pulled by a brute force, flying helplessly towards a guy with a radiant smile.
"The Shinigami Association isn't just about swordsmanship. Appropriate Kido can also play an auxiliary role in battle.
You're a bull-headed guy, right? I, Yecheng, the Pure War God, can't stand the likes of you. Take this 'Instant Boil' from me!"
Yecheng pulled the glowing chains, dragging the Bull-Head Phantom in front of him, while his other hand, which had been holding the Zanpakuto, was now clenched into a fist.
Powerful Kido energy erupted from Yecheng's back and armpits, once again rendering his cheap Shinigami uniform useless.
Seeing Yecheng's clenched fist, the Bull-Head Phantom naturally understood what he intended to do, and he even considered resisting.
Unfortunately, being bound as he was, he couldn't dodge or block with his hands at the moment.
With just ten seconds, he could easily break free from this binding, but those ten seconds were more than enough for Yecheng to take many actions.
The Bull-Head Phantom, with his feet dug into the ground, attempted to resist and cushion the impact by creating friction with the ground. Unfortunately, as Yecheng pulled the chains with both hands, the Bull-Head Phantom, having already plowed two furrows in the ground, flew towards Yecheng at an even faster speed.
As the fist, as big as a sandbag, drew closer, the Bull-Head Phantom could only grudgingly roar in anger.
Unfortunately, his roar was futile, and in the next second, Yecheng's Friendship Breaking Punch—Instant Boil—directly landed on his face, twisting his head!
Taking the Instant Boil with his face, the Bull-Head Phantom's body flew backward at supersonic speed, the force of his flight even snapping the glowing chains in Yecheng's hand.
