The feeling of crushing with absolute power was indeed incredibly satisfying.
But…
After the bald deputy captain climbed up from the ground, despite being covered in wounds, with bright red blood flowing down, his expression…
“Why does he look a bit excited?” Bai Ye shivered, “Could he be a pervert?”
As Bai Ye was thinking…
“Ah!”
The deputy captain roared and charged at Bai Ye again, raising his axe.
Those two axe blades were indeed enormous, giving a feeling of immense pressure. Even Bai Ye’s Fangtian Huaji, which was two sizes larger than an ordinary halberd, looked like a toothpick in front of those axe blades.
Then…
With a clang, Bai Ye swung his Fangtian Huaji horizontally, clashing directly with the descending axe blade.
“Is size all that matters?” Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the deputy captain by the throat, saying, “Looks impressive but useless.”
With a powerful swing of his arm, Bai Ye sent the deputy captain flying again. His body rolled continuously on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Then…
With a carp flip!
The deputy captain sprang up from the ground with an excited expression.
Bai Ye was defeated. This guy was truly a pervert. How could he become more energetic the more he was beaten?
Just then…
With a clang!
The deputy captain slammed his massive axe blade onto the ground in front of him, and a golden dragon pattern appeared before Bai Ye.
“My Bankai is called Dragon-Patterned Ghost Lantern Drum. Do you know why?” the deputy captain sneered. “Whether I cut someone or am cut, the Ghost Lantern Drum accumulates power, and the dragon pattern will glow brighter and brighter. Only when the dragon pattern turns completely golden will the Dragon-Patterned Ghost Lantern Drum reach its peak strength.”
“I see!” Bai Ye showed a look of sudden realization. “And then?”
The deputy captain’s eye twitched. He raised his axe blade and said, “Therefore, become the soul under my blade!”
The deputy captain leaped again, raising his enormous axe blade and charging towards Bai Ye. He then swung the massive blade down at Bai Ye.
Boom, boom, boom!
Before the axe blade arrived, the fierce wind preceded it.
In almost an instant, with the swing, the ground around them exploded inch by inch, pulverized by the shockwaves created by the attack.
Compared to before, the spiritual pressure on the deputy captain had indeed become even more terrifying.
Then…
Bai Ye stood still and raised his left arm.
Clang!
The axe blade struck the back of Bai Ye’s hand. The concentrated gust of wind instantly shattered, forming turbulent currents. And the moment the axe blade collided with Bai Ye’s hand, it suddenly cracked with a “咔嚓” sound.
The deputy captain’s eyes widened instantly. This was his all-out attack, and it still had the same outcome?
“A monster?”
The deputy captain muttered to himself.
At this moment, Seth shouted towards Bai Ye, “The mark is complete.”
“Got it!” Bai Ye replied, then raised his Fangtian Huaji and looked at the deputy captain in front of him, saying, “The game is over.”
*Pfft!*
The Fangtian Huaji slashed forward forcefully. After a sweep of purplish-black light, a large amount of blood splattered from the deputy captain’s chest, instantly covering the ground.
The deputy captain’s body slowly softened and collapsed, first kneeling on the ground, then falling headfirst.
Bai Ye turned and walked away directly. Before leaving, he swung his halberd backwards again!
As the halberd blade danced, a dark purple halberd light shot out, and the ground continued to shatter. The Shinigami behind him were once again blocked.
“Go!”
Bai Ye caught up with Seth and headed in the direction of Bai Dao Men.
About ten meters away, Bai Ye took a deep breath and swung his Fangtian Huaji downwards.
A crescent-shaped purplish-black halberd light appeared, soaring forward and striking Bai Dao Men heavily.
Boom!
The colossal gate, which seemed impossible to fall, let out a deafening roar at this moment, then shattered, collapsed, and fell.
With just one strike!
“My mission is complete!”
Bai Ye and Seth leaped over the shattered Bai Dao Men. Immediately, a look of joy appeared on Seth’s face.
“It seems the mission conditions were to place the mark and leave Seireitei successfully,” Bai Ye said. “The rest is simple. Leave here, shake off those Shinigami. No need to rush to claim the mission rewards, safety first.”
Seth nodded. “We can leave the Rukongai first and come back when things have calmed down.”
Bai Ye replied, “That’s one way to do it.”
But just then…
“No, you’re not going anywhere!”
A voice rang out, and immediately, Bai Ye felt an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, carrying a hint of icy cold.
*Kacha, kacha, kacha…*
Frost began to appear slowly on the surrounding ground and walls.
A chilling white mist gradually emerged, swirling around Bai Ye and Seth.
Soon, a figure slowly stepped out of the white frosty mist.
Wearing black Shinigami attire over a white haori, with short white hair and a remarkably handsome and delicate face. However, his height…
“A kid?” Bai Ye scratched his head. “Are there still children among the Captains of the Shinigami? Is it really okay to hire child labor like this?”
The corner of the Shinigami captain’s forehead instantly bulged with veins.
Kid?
That was the title he hated the most!
The young captain drew his Zanpakuto and roared, “Hyōrinmaru!”
The Zanpakuto at the young captain’s waist was drawn out, and the surrounding chilling sensation intensified. Frost even began to fall from the sky.
Bai Ye licked his lips. Although the opponent looked like a white-haired teenager in his early teens.
But…
The uniform the opponent wore was unmistakable, along with such terrifying spiritual pressure and immense oppressive force. This person was indeed Captain-level without a doubt.
“You go first!” Bai Ye slammed his Fangtian Huaji onto the ground and said to Seth, “I’ll block the door and hold this guy off. You run as far as you can. I guarantee they absolutely won’t be able to pursue you for now. As for what happens after, I can’t control it. Okay?”
Seth nodded and patted Bai Ye’s arm. “Take care of yourself.”
Bai Ye grinned. “You too.”
The surrounding frost flew and intensified. Bai Ye gripped his Fangtian Huaji again, and at that very moment…
*Bang!*
Seth pushed off with both legs, leaping forward like a leopard.
The young Shinigami glanced at Seth and forcefully swung his blade. “Guncho Hyōketsu!”
In the sky, the scattering frost and snow suddenly condensed, transforming into ice birds that swooped down towards Seth, launching a sudden attack.
It was clear that the opponent did not intend to let Seth leave so easily.
But…
…
