Chapter 759: Tosen Jo: Merely a Third Seat, Today I Will Avenge My Past Humiliation!
"Cry out, Cricket Blade!"
"Roar, Heavenly Retribution!"
As spiritual pressures erupted from both Tosen Jo and Kuzu Murasaki, they simultaneously unleashed their Shikai.
After achieving Shikai, Tosen Jo glanced at the nearby Shimagami Gin and said, "Gin, give me some time. I'll quickly take care of Kuzu Murasaki. He's no concern of mine now."
As a century-old friend, Tosen Jo was well-aware of Kuzu Murasaki's capabilities.
Having already obtained new power from Lanran, he was now brimming with confidence. He believed that even against the veteran captains, Kyorin Springwater and Hinamizawa, he had a fighting chance. How much more so against someone like Kuzu Murasaki?
Hearing the disdain in his former friend's words, Kuzu Murasaki's anger surged, and his spiritual pressure erupted further. He shouted, "Bankai: Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King!"
A majestic, giant black-armored warrior emerged behind Kuzu Murasaki as his spiritual pressure exploded.
As Kuzu Murasaki swung his sword, the Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King behind him mirrored his action, wielding a forty-meter-long blade and slashing down towards Tosen Jo's head!
"Kuzu Murasaki, you're still the same as before, making no progress. You seem calm but are easily provoked."
Bankai: Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King? It's nothing special. It's just right for you to witness the new power I gained after following Lanran."
Facing the forty-meter-long blade descending upon him, Tosen Jo maintained his composure.
Unlike Kuzu Murasaki, he didn't use Bankai but instead directly employed his Hollowification power, manifesting a smooth, pure white mask with a black slit for a mouth.
Standing his ground against Kuzu Murasaki's Bankai, Tosen Jo didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he stretched out a hand and performed a barehanded catch of the massive blade.
"Boom——————!"
As dust rose, the ground beneath Tosen Jo cracked and caved in due to the Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King's strike.
But when the dust settled, Kuzu Murasaki, standing opposite Tosen Jo, witnessed something unbelievable. Tosen Jo, in his Hollowified state, had truly caught his Bankai with his bare hand!
"This is a power you can't comprehend, Kuzu Murasaki. That's why I said earlier that you can't stop me now, let alone stand before me!
And I warned you that if you appeared before me again, I wouldn't show mercy.
Cricket Style Two: Red Locust Swarm!"
With one hand, Tosen Jo caught the Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King's blade, while with the other, he wielded his Zanpakutou, Cricket Blade, unleashing countless blades with sharp spikes at both ends.
Although Kuzu Murasaki immediately controlled the Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King behind him to protect his body, Tosen Jo's Hollowified state enhanced his Zanpakutou's power and techniques, making them far more potent than before.
The countless spiked blades, like locusts, pierced through the Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King's arms and instantly riddled Kuzu Murasaki's body with countless wounds.
The poor captain, already injured by Lanran's Black Coffin, now endured another round of pain from his friend.
Due to the severe injuries, the Bankai: Black Rope Heavenly Retribution King behind him couldn't be sustained and disappeared.
As he witnessed the helpless Komamura Sajin, Tosen Jo acted as he had previously stated, showing no mercy and instead opening his mask's gaping maw to gather a "Hollow Flash," preparing to settle the score with his former comrade.
Tosen Jo was not an Espada, but as the judge of the Illusory Night Palace, his Hollow Flash was naturally more formidable than the Espada's "King's Hollow Flash."
When the green Spirit Pressure condensed into a spherical shape in front of his mask, finally transforming into a massive pillar of light that rushed towards the half-kneeling Komamura Sajin, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Komamura Sajin, extending a hand and firing a Ki Wave.
"Boom——————!"
The green Hollow Flash and the pure blue Ki Wave, formed solely from Spirit Pressure, collided in midair, and a black sphere instantly appeared.
As the two forces intensified, the black sphere in the middle grew larger and larger until the power within it reached its peak, finally exploding!
Accompanying the tremors that shook the ground, a massive mushroom cloud rose, and countless fragments of rubble rained down like a downpour.
Between Tosen Jo and Yecheng, a giant pit with a diameter of several dozen meters suddenly appeared!
As Tosen Jo watched Yecheng appear before Komamura Sajin, he turned to look at Shimagami Gin's location, and the latter helplessly spread his hands, saying, "My apologies, Captain Tosen. I've tried my best to stop him.
But I believe you, who have fought him before, are well aware of Captain Yecheng's strength."
Tosen Jo's face darkened as his past misdeeds were brought up, the very reason he and Shimagami Gin never got along.
This seemingly harmless guy was not only cunning but also had a sharp tongue, always able to silence others with a few words.
"Hmph, the past is the past, and the present is now. Back in the Soul Society, to avoid exposure, I didn't use my full strength.
Captain Shimagami, if you had accepted Captain Zangetsu Sosuke's modification earlier, you wouldn't be struggling to stop even a new captain now."
Although they were allies, Tosen Jo's dislike for Shimagami Gin was no less intense than his disdain for Yecheng.
In Tosen Jo's eyes, Shimagami Gin's refusal to accept Zangetsu Sosuke's modification was sheer arrogance. They were all captains who had defected, and Tosen Jo himself, along with Zangetsu Sosuke, had started accepting Hollow power. What right did Shimagami Gin have to put on airs?
Despite Tosen Jo's ridicule, Shimagami Gin remained unfazed, his face still wearing a smug smile.
Shimagami Gin understood that accepting Zangetsu Sosuke's modification would earn him more trust. To achieve his goals, he didn't mind becoming a monstrous creature, neither human nor ghost.
But the key issue was that once he accepted Zangetsu Sosuke's modification, his life and death would no longer be in his control.
Accepting Zangetsu Sosuke's power also meant being manipulated by him from then on. If that were the case, how could Shimagami Gin carry out his plan to betray them!
"Since Captain Tosen is so confident, I'll leave Captain Yecheng to you. I'll buy you some time.
Although I'm sorry for letting him get away just now, please give me another chance. If he tries to escape after losing this time, I won't give him another opportunity!"
Despite his dislike for Shimagami Gin, they were both in the same boat at the moment. Moreover, Tosen Jo had long wanted to settle the score with Yecheng, so he didn't refuse Shimagami Gin's suggestion. Instead, he looked at Yecheng with a serious expression and said, "I, Tosen Jo, will definitely avenge my past humiliation!"
