Chapter 775: King Boundary Punch Unleashed, Constantly Breaking Boundaries!
"Interesting, Yecheng Captain, is this your true strength that you speak of?
If this is all you've got, your previous boastfulness is laughable.
With such a meager display of power, not only do you fall short of a final battle with me, but you don't even have the strength to look up to the heavens. A single strike from me is all it would take to cut you down."
As Yecheng unleashed his spirit pressure, Zangetsu Sosuke's initial wariness turned into curiosity and eventually, disdain.
To be fair, Yecheng's spirit pressure, from a Shinigami's perspective, was already incredibly strong, almost breaking the boundaries of a Shinigami with just a little more effort.
Yecheng's talent and abilities also forced Zangetsu to acknowledge his potential. If Yecheng were to break through the boundaries, he would be the first person in the Soul Society to do so through his own power in thousands of years.
Even if Yecheng was just a hair's breadth away from breaking the boundaries, if he truly did, he would still be no match for Zangetsu.
"Why the rush, Captain Zangetsu? The real show is just beginning.
Double King Boundary Punch! Open! Aaaaaah!"
With clenched fists and a slight crouch, Yecheng let out a loud battle cry. A strong gust of wind swept around him, and in the next instant, a red spirit pressure, distinct from Yecheng's original blue pressure, enveloped his body like an outer garment.
Zangetsu was astonished to discover that Yecheng's spirit pressure had doubled in strength out of thin air! The barrier that was just a hair's breadth away from breaking the Shinigami's boundaries was effortlessly pierced!
Although Kurosaki Ichigo and the others couldn't sense Yecheng's spirit pressure, they could feel that his aura had become significantly stronger in that moment.
"An impressive display of spirit pressure release, is this a secret technique developed by Captain Yecheng himself? But even so, it's still not enough..."
Before Zangetsu could finish his condescending statement, he was interrupted by Yecheng's loud battle cry once more.
Soon after, Zangetsu was surprised to find that Yecheng's spirit pressure, which had already doubled, began to surge at an astonishing rate.
"Triple King Boundary Punch!"
In just a few breaths, Yecheng's spirit pressure, which had already broken the Shinigami's boundaries, reached a new dimension, accompanied by its rapid increase.
At this moment, Yecheng's spirit pressure, using the Triple King Boundary Punch, was already comparable to Zangetsu's strength during his ultimate fusion phase, before his fusion with Mirror Flower Water Moon.
Even Zangetsu couldn't help but show a look of astonishment at Yecheng's current power.
After all, the only reason he and Kurosaki Ichigo could continuously break through the Shinigami's dimensions was because of the Collapse Sphere and their diverse bloodlines, respectively, and in Ichigo's case, at the cost of losing his Shinigami powers. But what about Yecheng?
"Impressive, even I didn't expect Captain Yecheng to reach such heights. But now that you've finally unleashed this power, don't you think it's too late?"
At this point, Zangetsu understood why Yecheng had refused the Collapse Sphere earlier.
He never imagined that Yecheng had concealed such formidable strength. It turned out that Yecheng was the one who had hidden his true power the deepest.
Zangetsu had assumed that Yecheng already possessed his current strength during their previous encounter. So, when they were still vying for the Collapse Sphere, Yecheng, having already broken through the Shinigami's boundaries, naturally had no interest in it.
Zangetsu had always considered himself the ultimate manipulator behind the scenes, but it turned out that he was merely a clown in Yecheng's eyes.
From the very beginning, he had been aware of Kurosaki Ichigo's existence and allowed him to grow, even aiding in his development, only to ultimately test his findings.
In the eyes of Night City, he was likely seen as a similar existence to Kurosaki Ichigo.
The only difference was that Kurosaki Ichigo, whom he had nurtured, was now defeated by him, while Night City, whom he had raised, was about to turn on him.
Only those who had the strength to show off could be called pretentious, but those who took it too far were simply courting their own demise.
At this moment, Night City was unaware of the richness of Lan Ran's inner thoughts. He was well aware that a threefold King Boundary Punch was far from enough to defeat Lan Ran in his current state.
So, in an instant, his previously stagnant spirit pressure surged anew as he activated the "Quadruple King Boundary Punch," ushering in another wave of overwhelming power.
As Night City's spirit pressure skyrocketed once more, this time visibly approaching his own, Lan Ran was completely stunned.
Night City had unleashed a force that Lan Ran knew nothing about, and he had never heard of any secret technique in the world that could so irrationally amplify one's power exponentially.
Lan Ran thought Night City still had a long way to go, but in the end, he didn't dare say it aloud. He realized that every time he mocked Night City, the other's spirit pressure grew stronger.
If he continued, it wouldn't be mockery but a true slap in the face.
Though unclear about the changes in Night City, Lan Ran was certain of one thing: he couldn't allow Night City to continue growing stronger without limit. Otherwise, Lan Ran would be the one facing defeat.
Witnessing Night City's continuous growth, Lan Ran no longer stood in the air, posturing. Instead, he chose to take the initiative and strike first.
In the blink of an eye, Lan Ran appeared before the unprepared Night City, and the completely fused Mirror Flower Moon Water slashed at Night City's neck.
"Ding——————!"
In response to Lan Ran's swinging strike, Night City instantly drew the Stygian Dagger from the ground to block.
The instant their blades clashed, the resulting shockwave between them caused the desert sand to explode several meters into the air. The powerful collision of spirit pressures created a strong wind, instantly forming multiple massive sandstorms around them!
"I thought Captain Lan Ran would wait for me to push my spirit pressure to the limit before making his move.
I never expected this Captain Lan Ran to be so impatient. Is he afraid? Afraid that if my spirit pressure continues to rise, it will once again surpass his own?"
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed from within the raging sandstorm as Night City and Lan Ran's blades clashed repeatedly. Each time their sword edges met, the powerful sword pressure would directly carve a canyon into the desert ground, and the surrounding air would turn into a vacuum due to the collision of their spirit pressures.
In response to Night City's question, Lan Ran, who always answered when asked, chose silence this time.
Though he didn't want to admit it, he had to acknowledge the truth in Night City's words.
If his opponent were Kurosaki Ichigo, Lan Ran wouldn't fear if his power temporarily surpassed his own. In fact, the stronger Kurosaki Ichigo became, the more it would aid Lan Ran's evolution.
But Night City was different. Even for Lan Ran, Night City was too unfathomable, too mysterious.
