Chapter 605: Shunko! Mastering Techniques from Yecheng's Body!
The state of a Shinigami fighting alongside their Zanpakuto was originally a rare and elusive phenomenon, only achievable when the Shinigami and their Zanpakuto were in perfect harmony.
In the past, Ichigo in his Shikai state had relied on this very state to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki alongside Zangetsu.
And now, Byakuya Kuchiki and Senbonzakura had entered this very state.
Senbonzakura's ability was to transform its blade into countless sharp petals that swept towards the enemy, but both the number and speed of the petals had their limits.
However, at this moment, Byakuya, working in tandem with Senbonzakura, not only doubled the number of cherry blossom petals, but also increased their speed and power to twice their original strength!
"The scattered bones of beasts, spires, red crystals, and iron wheels, moving as the wind, stopping as the void, the sound of clashing spears fills the Hollow City, and the flying dragon transforms into thunder.
Hado No. 88: Skyward Dragon Cannon!"
As countless pink cherry blossom petals swirled towards him, Yecheng quickly dodged using Flash Steps while beginning to chant the Kido spell.
Just as the flower sea engulfed his figure, a white beam of light, like a towering wave, erupted from Yecheng's hand, tearing through the cherry blossom petals and striking Senbonzakura behind them.
"The pride of heaven, the iron-built wall, the dragon's stride, the lion's roar, the tiger's growl, and the wolf's dash, severing heaven and earth before collapse.
Bakudo No. 81: Break the Void!"
Seeing the lightning-like beam shooting towards Senbonzakura, and Senbonzakura's attempt to counter with a wall of cherry blossom petals, Byakuya quickly flashed in front of him.
He swiftly executed the fully chanted Bakudo No. 81.
And indeed, Byakuya's judgment proved to be extremely accurate, for the wall of cherry blossom petals that Senbonzakura had formed in front of him was almost instantly pierced by Yecheng's Skyward Dragon Cannon.
"Crack——————!"
Even after piercing through the wall of petals, when the Skyward Dragon Cannon struck Byakuya's released Bakudo No. 81, it shattered like a transparent glass barrier, emitting a crisp sound of breakage.
As the Bakudo No. 81 shattered, Byakuya and Senbonzakura were simultaneously hit by the blast and sent flying, but fortunately, after piercing through Senbonzakura's petals and Bakudo No. 81, Yecheng's Kido power was also exhausted.
"Don't try to block his attacks head-on; his spiritual pressure is on a completely different level from ours.
And don't attempt to engage him in close combat with swordsmanship; his sword skills are comparable to the greatest Kenpachis in history. Our goal is not to defeat him but to hold him back. We just need to bring out the full potential of Senbonzakura."
As Byakuya was also blown away by the shockwave, he continuously retreated while reminding Senbonzakura not to confront Yecheng head-on.
Although the materialized Senbonzakura had the advantage of a two-on-one fight, Byakuya was genuinely afraid that Senbonzakura might recklessly charge at Yecheng and get defeated.
If Senbonzakura were to be defeated by Yecheng, her Zanpakuto's power would disappear. Even if Rukia Koushiro were to come out as he wished, would he have her fight with a Shin Datsu against a genius Shinigami from hundreds of years ago?
Senbonzakura's personality was almost identical to his when he was a child; if Yecheng were to provoke him slightly, there was a possibility that he might charge forward. Therefore, Byakuya could only warn him verbally beforehand.
On the other side, Zabimaru was locked in a stalemate with Crow Bee, but unlike the previous encounter, Zabimaru seemed to have a better grasp of the rhythm this time.
As Zabimaru's Soul Slayer Sword, Crow Bee matched her master in both Spiritual Pressure and speed, but she had one significant advantage—her tiny body, no larger than a sparrow, made her incredibly agile and a smaller target.
When Crow Bee saw Zabimaru's shirt shatter due to "Instant Shock," she noticed that the 'Bee Flower' she had previously left on her opponent's body had disappeared, leaving her utterly astonished.
"Crow Bee's 'Two-Hit Fatal' doesn't have much effect on a mediocre physician like me."
Although she was reluctant to admit it, to some extent, that guy was indeed a genius."
As her words fell, Zabimaru's body burst forward, and Crow Bee, who had been standing still, was surprised by Zabimaru's sudden burst of speed. But soon, she couldn't help but give chase, transforming into a golden streak of light.
"Ding—!"
Crow Bee, in the form of a golden streak of light, caught up with Zabimaru at an astonishing speed. She seized the perfect moment, swinging her arm like a swift bee and aiming for Zabimaru's back.
However, Crow Bee was soon taken aback, as her thrust failed to leave the 'Bee Flower' on Zabimaru's fair skin. Instead, an unknown force repelled her.
At the same time Crow Bee's attack was deflected, Zabimaru spun around and delivered a powerful kick to Crow Bee's petite body.
"Crow Bee's ability, 'Two-Hit Fatal,' stores her Spiritual Pressure in the opponent's body during the first strike, waiting for the second strike to ignite and explode.
So, that guy suggested that when I use 'Instant Shock,' I should expand the Kido power from my back and armpits to cover my entire body.
The 'Bee Flower' left by Crow Bee's first strike is also a form of Kido power, and the power enveloping my body is the same. So, as long as I adjust the flow and output frequency of Kido power on my body during the attack, I can activate 'Counter Ghost Technique'!"
'Counter Ghost Technique' is an extremely challenging Kido skill, releasing the same type and amount of Kido power as the opponent in a very short time to dismantle their Kido power.
This was why Crow Bee was repelled earlier; the 'Bee Flower,' which stored her Spiritual Pressure in the opponent's body, was also a way to use Kido power.
Crow Bee was fast, but she was also fragile. After being kicked by Zabimaru, she was almost immobile.
"I've never even heard of a 'Full-Body Instant Shock' like this. You were clearly..."
Before Crow Bee could finish her resentful words, Zabimaru, who had slowly approached her, interrupted, "This is the difference between a Shinigami and a Soul Slayer Sword. Compared to Soul Slayer Swords, Shinigami may not possess various powerful and bizarre abilities, but we have greater room for growth.
I've become stronger since our last battle, while you, in your materialized form, are merely the past me.
In simple terms, I've grown stronger and surpassed my past self, and that's why you'll lose."
