Chapter 258 Chapter 257: Black Rain

The turbulent flow of mixed spiritual energy rolled upward toward the sky.

After waiting for the storm to dissipate, Ichigo Kurosaki, who put on a classic outfit and wielded a long black blade, came into view at this moment.

call…

The Zanpakutō was swung for a moment, and the sharpness of the blade seemed to cut through the air.

There were constant jingling echoes, and several Arrancars present showed a slightly moved expression.

"This power..."

A little bit concerning.

But it’s definitely not shocking. If I had to describe it...

Yes.

"It's as disgusting as a cockroach crawling on the ground, suddenly spreading its wings and flying."

Nnoitra's laughter was endless, and his attitude was exactly what others thought.

There was no fluctuation in Ulquiorra's heart, and at this moment there was even a hazy sense that was close to doubt.

—With just this little power, it’s not something that can be described without fear...

It can't even compare to those ten blades that have been eliminated.

What's the point of bringing such a useless person to Xuye Palace?

Can't figure it out.

But the command is absolute.

Thoughts will not affect judgment and actions, Ulquiorra said before coming to an answer.

"Grimmjow, fight quickly."

NO·4 A rare order has been issued, although Grimmjow disobeyed discipline out of instinctive behavior and thinking.

But for now... luckily, both sides' priorities are aligned.

"It goes without saying that I will do the same!"

Completely unafraid of the power of the swastika, Grimmjow raised his leg arrogantly and kicked Kurosaki Ichigo hard.

However, the latter's reaction was extremely calm, and his expression at this moment showed no fluctuation in any sense.

'really…'

Mr. Arima is right.

'There's no point in yelling in the middle of a fight. ’

'Calmness and composure are the best choices to victory. You must be able to keep your breath...'

‘Then the other party will expose their weaknesses in front of you. ’

You can see the trajectory of the action...

After confessing to Arima Shizuya, Kurosaki Ichigo gained not only strength, but also the other party's teachings and insights.

Various impressions from the spiritual world appeared in my mind.

At this moment, a familiar and reassuring voice echoed in Kurosaki Ichigo's ears.

‘Your skills are too rough and your mood is a little complicated. ’

‘So, start from the beginning and start bit by bit. ’

'It doesn't matter... time has no meaning here. As long as you have this idea, I can keep teaching. ’

Completely...completely different from the original.

Different from Kyoshiro, who has an eccentric personality, and Yhwach, who is afraid that Kurosaki Ichigo will be hurt by this.

He has fully accepted the nature of part of himself and reached a consensus with Arima Shizuya, who holds the power of this part.

Kurosaki Ichigo's strength is definitely not what it appears on the surface.

Sideways, back.

The light and agile posture highlights a sense of maturity that is completely different from age levels.

For a moment, it felt as if Ichigo Kurosaki had completely transformed into someone else...but in fact, he had not changed at all.

It's just that I realized something.

But at this moment, only half a step away, the extremely fierce attack had completely failed.

The air seemed to have been compressed to the extreme by Grimmjow, causing a faint stinging sensation the moment it touched.

As if in slowed down time, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Grimmjow's expression from far to close.

From being proud and arrogant.

Until confused and confused.

The reason for this transformation is unknown, but to Kurosaki Ichigo, these are no longer important.

Weaknesses have been exposed.

Naturally, there is no need to continue to suppress the spiritual power deliberately accumulated.

It burst out in one breath.

hiss…

It was like some kind of gas was lost in the air, or even more like a crack had opened, and at some stage a 'ruptured' inflatable ball was suddenly ushered in.

The true strength possessed by Kurosaki Ichigo showed his original appearance at this moment.

Keng!

The right hand that had softened suddenly clenched tightly!

Kurosaki Ichigo turned his wrist upwards, and the Tensuo Zangetsu held in his palm turned around the sharp blade.

Not good!

Grimmjow could only have time to form this thought in his mind.

Wherever he looked, he was swallowed up by the black and red lightning that had begun to spread...

"Crescent Moon Celestial."

With a calm tone, Kurosaki Ichigo raised his right hand calmly.

The gas in the sky showed no sign of flowing, and seemed to be frozen and stagnant. But the moment the boy's right hand fell heavily, it was all broken.

A black light group that could span the entire sky made a huge roar among the rugged and twisting lightning.

Swallow Grimmjow whole!

"You guy!!"

With just enough time to let out a hysterical roar, Grimmjow was engulfed in a ball of light and flew away.

At this moment, all the Arrancars who could sense the specific situation showed surprised expressions.

"This guy...what's going on?"

"Hiding his strength and disguising it well. I see, is this the reason why Aizen-sama is paying attention to him?"

"It gets a little trickier."

"...I'll do it."

It turns out.

The strength Kurosaki Ichigo showed just now is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ulquiorra stepped forward.

Harribel glanced at him, her tone slightly indescribably subtle.

"Do you want to die?"

Wu Laosi's eyes never changed. He stared at the young man not far away from the beginning to the end, and his tone was as usual.

"Well, after all, this guy can't be dismissed in a few clicks."

"But Lord Arima has told us to try not to make too much noise."

"So no one else's powers are suitable for this situation."

Yami came close to him and started shouting loudly.

"Hey! Let me do it!"

—A typical example is this silly guy.

Instead, Nnoitra remained the calmest, without any desire to express herself at this moment.

Rather than taking a stand on his own, he prefers to wait for the other party to weaken before taking action.

As for Grimmjow?

The Leopard King has now flown to an unknown place...

Although there is also a situation where Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly strikes and catches the opponent by surprise.

But the power shown by the other party cannot be underestimated.

"Let's just decide this. After all, this is what Arima-sama has explained in advance."

It's more like a declaration than a request.

Ulquiorra pulled out the long knife on his waist and held it in his right hand.

This action has no memory points at all, but it made Ichigo Kurosaki, who was in a state below, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Is this... a Zanpakutō?

Why can Xu have such a level of power?

What exactly happened here?

The specific reasons are unknown, but from the current point of view, it seems that this conflict can no longer be avoided.

Kurosaki Ichigo tensed up all the nerves in his body and opened his eyes slightly. He watched Ulquiorra staring at him from top to bottom, his green eyes like mirrors, reflecting his own figure.

"Then, I'm going to do it."

The other party is also going to use his true skills!

The momentum was condensed in this subtle moment. It was at this time that a certain voice came directly from the distance.

The other party's tone was gentle, but very memorable.

“Thousands of hands cannot touch the noble hand of darkness;

Archers in the sky that cannot be reflected, shining on the road, fanning the wind of fire, there is no need to be confused when we gather together, just follow my instructions;

Light bullet·Eight Body·Nine Articles·Tian Jing·Ji Bao·Big Wheel, gray turret;

Draw the bow into the distance and dissipate brightly..."

The long prayers just sound complex and delicate to the senses.

But just at the moment everyone ‘captured’ it.

All these preparations are coming to an end.

"Ninety-one of Breaking the Way: A Thousand-Hand Bright Sky Shooting Cannon."

One word settled.

Several dazzling and bright red light pillars began to appear in the sky. They emitted fine light bullets of different sizes and shot towards the Arrancar people.

"...?!!"

Slightly unexpected.

But not to the point of panic.

Several people gathered behind Yami almost in unison... The big, silly man seemed to be dissatisfied.

But there was nothing he could do, because the attack was already approaching.

"How many of you!"

The roar was drowned in the uninterrupted roar and echo... Staring at what was happening in the sky, Kurosaki Ichigo's expression was inevitably surprised.

This thing was what Lucia was proud of before and called it a Kidō attack method.

Are there reinforcements?

"Kurosaki-kun!"

The unexpected sound made Kurosaki Ichigo turn his head sharply.

Kisuke Urahara raised his left hand and held down his bucket hat, his expression unclear.

But the red spiritual power that vaguely appeared on his right hand meant that it was the seemingly cynical Urahara boss who had just taken action.

I want to say something, but now is not the time.

Because he saw Inoue Orihime and Chadata Taitora rushing towards him.

The expression on Kurosaki Ichigo's face became extremely exciting in an instant.

What are you two doing in a place like this? This is not the previous Soul Society operation...the level of danger is completely incomparable.

No, wait.

Maybe he really needs help in this area... Kurosaki Ichigo subconsciously lowered his head and glanced over.

Ishida Uryu had passed out and died on the ruins not far away.

"Inoue! Go and help treat Ishida's injury first... His condition is very bad!"

Inoue Orihime nodded heavily, and she and Sadatora suddenly turned around and approached the ruins.

After confirming the extent of the injury, the girl, who was no more than a high school student, suddenly showed a surprised, even horrified expression.

She couldn't help but raise her hands and cover her mouth, sobbing even in her tone.

"It's too much..."

Although he is not a professional doctor himself.

But the communication with the Fourth Squadron in Soul Society was enough for Inoue to leave an impression on many things.

It was something that required emergency treatment—she quickly took off her headgear, and her expression became serious and serious.

"Leave it to me!"

Chadata Taihu stood beside him silently, consciously assuming the duty of a guard.

Kurosaki Ichigo witnessed these actions and felt briefly relieved.

And in the sky not far away, Boss Urahara also stared at him.

"Kurosaki-kun, I'm really glad you persisted until now. Thank you for your hard work."

The situation seems to be under control for the time being...

Such thoughts could only be condensed when a cold voice pierced directly and ruthlessly from the thick smoke.

"I see, this is the Urahara Kisuke Aizen-sama talks about."

"It's an object that deserves a little attention."

"But, that's all."

Buzz…

There was a sudden roar that made people feel as if the world was shaking.

After a moment, a jet-black stream of light rushed out from the smoke and dust!

Urahara Kisuke subconsciously widened his eyes and held the Zanpakutō in front of him.

"Beniji!"

The bright red crystal prism took shape as quickly as it came first, and appeared in front of Urahara Kisuke.

Black and red brilliance collided fiercely in the air.

Intertwined with each other until finally bursting out with a broken sound.

Snap…

Urahara Kisuke left the place with a solemn expression - and at the next moment, the pierced crystal prism shattered into pieces and fell from the air.

None of the Zanpakuto's abilities can block an attack of this magnitude.

"Can you block my false flash?"

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Harribel raised her right hand and raised her index finger with an extremely calm expression.

"That courage is commendable."

In other words.

This is ‘overestimating one’s own capabilities’ in a certain sense.

Boss Urahara lowered the brim of his hat with a smile, but his tone hidden under the shadow gradually became serious.

"Really? Although I thought I could easily block it~"

no the same.

This group of Hollows... no, the so-called 'arrancars' were completely different from those that I was familiar with.

Not only is there a very clear gap in intensity, but it also possesses a more exaggerated rationality. From the appearance alone, it looks no different from ordinary people.

Aizen Sosuke.

What kind of monster did you create with Bengyu?

Taking into account the information asymmetry between each other, as well as the more intuitive gap in the number of people.

Attacking forcefully is definitely not the 'right answer' at this time.

"Miss Yoruichi, I have to ask you for the next step."

The words fell.

The elegant figures flashing in the sky were expressing their responses through actions.

The sky was flashing continuously, and successive light groups surrounded several Arrancars. Sifengyuan Yeyi's voice also echoed loudly at this moment.

"This is the skill of Sifengyuan, and it is also an inheritance of our family."

"When touched, the light will cause the soul to collapse..."

"You have to be more careful."

The actions so far are just to delay time and restrict the opponent's ability to move, so that we can consider further steps later...

Thoughts continued here, but Urahara Kisuke couldn't see any surprised expressions on these Arrancars.

Ulquiorra didn't even look Yoruichi in the eye.

"This kind of thing has been reminded before departure."

"Senseless behavior..."

It doesn't have much of a blocking effect.

Waving the long blade in his hand, Wu Laosi continued what he had just done.

"Seal it down, Blackwing Demon."

This is the return of the blade, which means that the ability sealed in the long blade is returned, thus showing the original posture of the Arrancar as a Hollow.

Above Karakura Town.

At this moment, with Ulquiorra's liberation, black rain began to fall.
