Perhaps to hide his embarrassment, the Reigai Kensei Muguruma squatted slightly, making a movement of accumulating strength in his legs.
Then, he suddenly charged towards Aozaki!
The knuckle blade in his hand struck directly at Aozaki.
His entire being seemed to be imbued with immense power, unstoppable!
"Handsome, he really is handsome…"
Aozaki showed a teasing expression.
Although his Reiatsu wasn't great, leading to weak basic strength, even if Aozaki stood still and let him hit, he wouldn't break through his defense. But for dealing with ordinary Shinigami, it was completely sufficient.
If hit by this punch, the explosive force would endlessly pour into the enemy's body, causing explosive damage internally and sending the enemy flying far away.
Normal Shinigami typically have high attack and low defense. If they take a hit when the strength gap isn't particularly large, the battle can pretty much be declared over.
But unfortunately, Kensei Muguruma's enemy this time wasn't a normal Shinigami!
Kensei Muguruma roared, swinging his blade-like iron fist, and arrived in front of Aozaki.
However, just then, Aozaki moved.
He casually extended his right hand, gently grasping Kensei Muguruma's fist, and caught Kensei Muguruma's knuckle blade.
The sharp blade failed to cause even a trace of damage; instead, the blade quickly became covered in dense cracks.
"What?!" Kensei Muguruma's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Aozaki to so easily grasp his attack.
"Too weak," Aozaki said indifferently.
With that, he suddenly exerted force, directly flinging Kensei Muguruma away.
Kensei Muguruma tumbled through the air, finally smashing through a dozen walls and falling heavily to the ground.
He struggled to get up, his face full of shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible… I am Kensei Muguruma…" he muttered to himself.
"Are you worthy?" Aozaki looked at Kensei Muguruma, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He slowly walked towards Kensei Muguruma, each step bringing immense pressure upon Kensei Muguruma.
"Do you really think you can defeat me like this?" Aozaki said coldly, "Let me tell you, you're still far from it!"
Saying that, he attacked again, instantly appearing in front of Kensei Muguruma, and struck his chest with a palm.
Kensei Muguruma felt a powerful force Attack, completely unable to dodge, and could only watch as Aozaki's palm struck his chest.
"Pfft—"
A spray of blood erupted, Kensei Muguruma's body exploded, and his flesh splattered against the wall, sliding down.
Aozaki looked at Kensei Muguruma, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
However, the battle didn't give them any chance to catch their breath.
In the very next instant, four figures swiftly surrounded him like a gust of wind.
They were Shunsui, Ukitake, Zaraki, and Unohana.
Except for Unohana, the other three had already released their Zanpakuto, standing ready for battle.
Bang!!
Reiatsu squeezed together, emitting a loud sound.
Swords clashed fiercely, producing crisp striking sounds.
However, to everyone's surprise, as they gazed at the clashing blades, they found that Aozaki's figure had disappeared.
The four couldn't help but fall into deep thought, their minds filled with doubt.
Almost instinctively, they followed a shining light, simultaneously casting their gaze behind the Reigai Unohana.
There, a mass of pure white light particles gathered in the air, gradually coalescing into Aozaki's form.
"My Retsu isn't that weak. You're still far from it."
Aozaki's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Reigai Unohana's pupils trembled slightly, clearly touched by Aozaki's words.
And Aozaki narrowed his eyes, extending his palm to gently pat Unohana's shoulder.
In fact, this Reigai, a copy of Unohana, was quite strong, roughly equivalent to Captain Unohana's level before her Hollowfication.
Furthermore, this was also evident from the Reigai Aizen who went to intercept Enrakyoten.
Inaba Kageroza's research on Shinigami was thorough and in-depth, with profound studies on Shinigami's spiritual bodies and Souls.
However, regarding powers beyond Shinigami, Inaba Kageroza evidently didn't understand enough and couldn't fully replicate them into Reigai.
Watching the strangely moving Aozaki, everyone hadn't even had time to be shocked.
The Reigai Unohana was instantly turned into a pulp by that seemingly light slap.
Although the Reigai Unohana's appearance was similar to the original, her strength was vastly different.
As an existence fused with a mass-produced Hōgyoku, the true strength of Unohana was far beyond what this Reigai could compare to.
Aozaki knew in his heart that even if she looked identical, she was not her.
Since that was the case, there was naturally no need to hold back.
"Hado #4, Byakurai!"
Aozaki snorted coldly, and at the moment of the slap, he had already raised his other hand, pointing a finger in the direction of the remaining three.
Following his movement, with a crackle, a dazzling silver electric light tore through space, arriving swiftly before the three Reigai like an aurora.
The three tried to dodge, tried to defend, but simply couldn't.
That lightning…
It was too close! Too fast!! Too fierce!!!
In the blink of an eye, it had already approached.
They didn't even have time to react, and could only watch as the lightning struck.
Ukitake was anxious; he wanted to raise Sogyo no Kotowari to absorb this terrifying Kido.
However, reality was cruel, and he found that he simply didn't have time to make such a move.
Before the sword was raised, the lightning had arrived!
Facing such a swift attack, they now had no choice but to mobilize their Reiatsu to resist.
Lightning several meters thick enveloped the upper bodies of the three.
Instantly, they lost their ability to think, plunging into endless darkness.
Their incomplete bodies fell powerlessly to the ground.
Without any surprises, they all turned into a handful of dust.
Kujō Nozomi and Senna peered out half their heads from the window of the First Division Captain's Office, their two large eyes stealthily peeking.
Separated by the Super Pressure Barrier that formed a barrier, they were stunned speechless.
They were both Shinigami, and of course, they knew about Byakurai, this low-level Hado.
But the power of that last strike, they would believe it if it was said to be a Hado beyond ninety.
It must be said that, in most cases, as a certain Vice-Captain said, a Shinigami's battle truly is a battle of Reiatsu!
And this battle was even more devastating than before, slaying five Captains without any hesitation.
They looked at the man in the center of the battlefield, still composed in the face of a great enemy, and couldn't help but feel as if they were dreaming.
For a long time, they had been deeply immersed in fear every day.
Fear of the Ryodoji Family, apprehension towards Inaba Kageroza, dread of the reality that they bore the responsibility for the safety of the Three Worlds, and anxiety about the future.
Yet at this moment, witnessing this man so effortlessly defeat the enemy, a glimmer of hope sprouted within their hearts.
The appearance of this man brought them an unprecedented sense of security.
Whether it was the Ryodoji Family acquiring the Shinenju, or Inaba Kageroza merging with Kujō Nozomi to become Yushima Ōko.
Both of these futures filled one with despair.
Except for the avengers, no one would like them.
But at this moment, they no longer feared.
With this man by their side, they would surely be able to stop the Ryodoji Family and Inaba Kageroza.
Such a dark future might never arrive!
Looking at that man, they now had such confidence.
