Pirate: Strengthening with Alcohol

After another collision, Kuchiki Xianghe taunted. He knew that the shallow attack method might not gain much advantage over the opponent, so he planned to use the ghost path to suppress it. He jumped into the air, the golden color of the halberd A fireball with electric light appeared at the tip of the spear.

"King Kong Explosion!"

The fireball roared out. This was a ghost path that Kuchiki Byakuya had never seen before. It has not been recorded in any books. However, something he has never seen may not be powerful. The power of the ghost path is also determined by the user's spiritual pressure. It depends, and after thousands of years of development in Soul Society, fighting methods are also advancing with the times. Ancient things cannot withstand time after all.

"The Thirty-three of the Broken Paths, Blue Fire Falling!"

The red and white spiritual pressure collided in mid-air, shaking the entire space. Neither side expected that the opponent's ghost path could be so powerful. Kuchiki Xianghe did not stand still, and the tip of the spear released a green The light spread around like ripples, and a large number of green lasers appeared in the ripples, shooting at Byakuya Kuchiki at the same time.

"Teeth Qi Fierce Light!"

Kuchiki Byakuya kept dodging in the gaps between the lasers, and finally landed on the shore. A dazzling white light appeared on his fingers. The No. 4 White Thunder was used in his hand. It was like a bolt from the blue. The white lightning rushed straight up, but The opponent was also very fast, and he flashed behind him in an instant. Cold light emitted from the weapon, and frozen ice cubes rushed towards Byakuya Kuchiki like snowflakes.

"Icy Fang Confrontation!"

"Eighty One of the Binding Dao, Duan Kong!"

The transparent protective wall blocked the incoming freezing air, but the cold current rushed towards the lake along both sides. The lake froze into ice the moment it came into contact. Kuchiki Xianghe did not give up, and was still injecting spiritual pressure into the weapon. Gradually , the protective wall of the sky could not be supported, and the dark blue ice broke through it, freezing Byakuya Kuchiki in the huge ice block.

The impact of the ghost path was dazzling, and the entire forest was like a cold winter that had entered early. The lake was frozen and the trees were dry. Kuchiki Xianghe sneered. He knew that the opponent would not be defeated so easily, just like he thought, the pink cherry blossoms Breaking through the ice, the hilt of the knife in Kuchiki Byakuya's hand was like the creator of Sakura.

"Your Kidō is useless in front of my Senbonzakura."

"Stop talking arrogantly, yellow-haired boy."

Kuchiki Xianghe's goal was to trample the entire Soul Society, how could he be blocked here? He rushed over, his halberd cut through the space, and Kuchiki Byakuya jumped into the air. What he didn't expect was that this was not an ordinary Gradually, he felt that his body could not move freely, and was finally frozen in mid-air.

"I have captured your movement trajectory, and now you can't even move a finger."

Byakuya Kuchiki still had no expression on his face. The soul-cutting sword scattered into countless cherry blossom blades and flowed downwards, instantly cutting off the threads of the ghost path and pressing down on Kuchiki Hibiki. Kuchiki Hibiki snorted coldly and spun the halberd. , like a propeller, blocked the impact of the cherry blossoms. Suddenly, with a bang, the halberd broke and the cherry blossoms stopped flowing.

He also didn't expect that the opponent's soul-cutting sword was so powerful that it could cut off the weapon in his hand. The moment he was distracted, Kuchiki Byakuya appeared behind him, and with a swipe, he cut off Kuchiki Xianghe's weapon. body.

"That's it."

The next moment, Kuchiki Byakuya's pupils shrank suddenly. He saw through Kuchiki Kyouga's severed body that the intact Kuchiki Kyouga was standing in front of him, looking at him with a sneer. What he had cut off was just... Just an afterimage.

"It's full of flaws, you yellow-haired boy."

The sound of rotten wood and the sound of the river appeared behind him. He had no time to understand what was going on. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. Severe pain came from his back. A shallow wound was made on his back, and blood flowed from it. , he turned around in sequence and slashed subconsciously, but what he hit was still the afterimage of the opponent.

Kuchiki Xianghe attacked him and slashed his shoulder again. Realizing that the situation was not in his favour, he dodged to the lake dozens of meters away and said in a cold voice: "You guy, what on earth did you do?"

"Don't you understand now?" Kuchiki Xianghe said slowly: "It seems that you still don't know enough about me. Muramasa can control the soul-cutting sword. His ability comes from my power. I can invade The opponent's spiritual pressure disrupts his facial features."

Speaking of this, Kuchiki Byakuya suddenly felt a voice coming to his ears, and he quickly slashed his knife, but what he hit was still the afterimage of the other party. He frowned slightly and realized that this was not an afterimage, but an afterimage. The hallucinations and abilities he had were exactly the same as Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

"All your senses have been controlled by me for a long time."

Kuchiki Xianghe appeared behind him and said slowly: "You now, you can't even recognize my figure so close.".

Chapter 269: The consciousness of the soul-cutting sword

"A hallucination?"

"What are you thinking about? How could my ability be such a childish thing?".

Kuchiki Xianghe threw the broken halberd in his hand. He didn't use much force, just like throwing garbage. However, Kuchiki Byakuya felt that the broken halberd was shot towards him like a bullet. He wanted to block it with his blade, but failed. After swinging the sword in the air, the broken halberd fell to the ground with a bang, Kuchiki Xianghe said: "Now you, even the visual distance and the distance of the sword are not consistent, you can no longer fight me normally. "

At this point, his figure appeared to be floating, and his voice came from all directions. Under such circumstances, Kuchiki Byakuya could not control his location at all.

"If you close your heart and fight with me like those two old guys Yin Ling or Yuan Liu Zhai, my trick will be ineffective against you."

There are more and more of him, but they are all traces of afterimages, scattered on the lake, and the sounds are also coming from far away.

"It seems that you were careless when I broke Muramasa."

"no."

Even in this situation, Kuchiki Byakuya remained expressionless and said slowly: "I don't close my heart and fight, just to kill you, because even by closing my heart, I can seal you to your original state, But I can’t put you to death.”

His words completely angered Kuchiki Xianghe. He couldn't even grasp the sense of distance, and couldn't even distinguish between illusion and reality. How could he say such shameless words? He ducked towards another long sword that fell on the coffin. In front of the halberd, he threw it out. Under such circumstances, Kuchiki Byakuya's sight saw more than ten halberds crossing over him. They were completely unstoppable and he had to dodge to avoid them.

However, he was still careless. In fact, it cannot be said that he was careless. He did not have a clear understanding of Kuchiki Hibiki's ability. The halberd was stuck on the ice beside him, and his right hand holding the knife also felt irresistible pressure. , the soul-killing knife came out of his hand, and the handle of the halberd accurately jammed his wrist, preventing him from moving freely.

Kuchiki Xianghe's attack has not stopped yet. He picked up the remaining halberd and held it in his hand. Purple light appeared in his hand and thrust it across again. Even though he dodged to avoid the vital point, Kuchiki Byakuya's left hand was also pinched by the handle. Live, anchoring him on the lake like a cross.

"Icy Fang Confrontation!"

With the last halberd, Kuchiki Hikaru released the ice-type ghost path. A large amount of cold air, mixed with ice cubes, rushed towards Kuchiki Byakuya. Seeing such a crisis scene, Kuchiki Rukia wanted to run over to help. But he was stopped by Ling Bai. He knew very well that Kuchiki Byakuya's arrogant character and his fight to maintain the dignity of the family would be even more uncomfortable than killing him if someone saved him, even if it was his own sister.

However, Kuchiki Byakuya is a captain-level figure after all. He is a genius of Kidō. Even if his hands are controlled, he can release the sky. He wants to block the cold attack as much as possible, but due to the illusion, his sense of direction appears. By mistake, a transparent protective wall appeared in the opposite direction of the ice, and his body was frozen by the ice.

"It's really ugly."

Kuchiki Xianghe sneered: "In the final analysis, you are just a brat who can do nothing without the soul-killing sword. It doesn't matter the strength of the opponent. In front of me, everyone must surrender obediently. This is my power, even without the soul-killing sword." Sword, I am also the strongest, come on, let’s put an end to this, the current head of the Kuchiki family.”

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't speak, just looked at him expressionlessly. He didn't know what he was thinking. Now he was at his wits' end. The only thing waiting for him was death. Kuchiki Xianghe didn't waste any time. He waved his halberd and stabbed directly. In the past, just when he was about to stab Kuchiki Byakuya in the face, the tip of the halberd was only a dozen centimeters away from the opponent's face. A large number of cherry blossoms appeared to block his attack.

He stopped moving and looked at the flowing cherry blossoms in disbelief. Byakuya Kuchiki also opened his eyes wide, as if he did not expect such a thing to happen.

"How is it possible that the Soul-Slaying Sword actually unlocked itself?"

Senbonzakura materialized, appeared behind Byakuya Kuchiki, and said beside him: "Master, since your five senses are controlled, let me be your eyes and ears, and your limbs to fight."

As the cherry blossoms scattered and the Senbonzakura floated away, the ice surrounding Byakuya Kuchiki also shattered. The soul-cutting sword appeared in his hand again. Kuchiki Kyouga gritted his teeth in hatred and said viciously: "In this case, Then I will control it together with your senses of the Soul-Slaying Sword."

"Delusion."

Kuchiki Byakuya did not hesitate this time, but directly used his swastika. The soul-cutting sword fell into the ripples of the lake. Two rows of huge blades rose from the ice. At the same time, they turned into countless cherry blossoms, scattered in all directions, and finally transformed into Thousands of pink blades were made and arranged in mid-air, surrounding the space they were in into a huge circle.

"Jie Jing, Senbonzakura Jing Yan".

Chapter 270: Refusal to communicate

"This is Senbonzakura's true form."

Byakuya Kuchiki said calmly: "Abandon all defenses and transform into a form with the goal of hitting the enemy. In my world, disturbing the senses is meaningless. No matter where you are, these blades will catch you. "

While speaking, a long sword appeared in his hand, pointing at Kuchiki Xianghe, but the other party sneered: "No matter where I am? This is exactly what I want to say.".

Lilac spiritual pressure rose up on his body, and his body appeared to be squatting. Then, he let out a beast-like roar and rushed towards Kuchiki Byakuya. Kuchiki Byakuya also rushed up in response, with purple and white spiritual pressure. They collided together and were evenly matched. Their figures kept colliding, and the pink surroundings also shook.

Kuchiki Kyouga repeated his old trick. The whirlwind blown by the halberd appeared with invisible lines, freezing Kuchiki Byakuya in place. Just when he was about to attack, the blade in mid-air plunged straight down, instantly cutting off his restraints. , then, Kuchiki Byakuya dodged over, and just when he was about to pierce Kuchiki Hibiki's head, Kuchiki Hibiki hurriedly avoided it.

"You guy..."

Kuchiki Xianghe gasped and said: "Why do you have such amazing power?"

Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly: "Because we are two people fighting side by side. The Shinigami and the Soul-Zanbing Sword are two in one. Only when their souls resonate with each other can they exert their true power. For the sake of mere vanity, abandon the Soul-Zanbing Sword. You are no match for us."

"Stop talking to yourself there!" Kuchiki Xianghe said loudly: "In my opinion, you are the ones who don't understand anything. No matter what achievements I have made, I will not be recognized and let me Bearing the infamy of a traitor and being buried in ruthless blood, I will create my own place on my own. Only strength is order, and I will become the king of the new world!"

"Ignorant person." Kuchiki Byakuya sneered at this and said lightly: "The really sad thing about you is not that no one recognizes you, but that you misunderstood the nature of power. The power you lack is only with others and with Zhan. The soul knife has the power to communicate and understand each other.”

Kuchiki Xianghe sneered: "Don't make me laugh. Let me communicate with others. I don't need such power. My power is unique. It is an absolute power that cannot be tolerated by others."

Kuchiki Byakuya lowered his eyes. He was so unrepentant, and it seemed that there was no need to persuade him. All in all, the final result was to kill him. He said calmly: "Then I won't waste any more words with you. You Just feel resentful and fail to notice the immature part of yourself that is overconfident.”

Having said this, he raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at Kuchiki Xianghe, and said slowly: "Kuchiki Xianghe, I bear the responsibility of my grandfather, as the current head of the Kuchiki family, and I will kill you completely now."

He poured all the cherry blossoms and spiritual power into the long sword in his hand, which emitted a dazzling white light that looked like outstretched wings. This was Senbonzakura's strongest move, the White Emperor Sword.

Such spectacular spiritual pressure even amazed Kuchiki Xianghe. He said slowly: "I really underestimate you. Throughout the entire history of the Kuchiki family, there has never been a leader with such power. ”

Kuchiki Byakuya said slowly: "This move is the last tribute to you who once had a place in the Kuchiki family."

"Then I will defeat you here!" Kuchiki Xianghe opened his eyes wide and bloodshot, and gritted his teeth and said, "This time I must completely cut off the Kuchiki family's restraint on me."

The halberd was placed across his chest, and huge spiritual pressure rose from his body that could shatter the ice of the entire lake. He roared and rushed over. Kuchiki Byakuya also spread his spiritual pressure wings and flew in mid-air. The spiritual pressure collided, and the impact was only In a moment, the whole world returned to calm, and the figures of the two people passed each other.

The cherry blossoms were scattered, and Byakuya Kuchiki seemed to have lost all his strength. His legs gradually became weak. Just when he was about to fall to the ground, Senbonzakura supported him, and behind him, Kuchiki Hibiki spurted a lot of blood from his shoulder. , the halberd came out of his hand and fell forward.

"how come……"

He held his knees with both hands to prevent him from falling down. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, I can't fall down yet. Muramasa, I need you now. Come here quickly..."

He struggled forward to grab it, but he didn't catch anything, and there was no response. He just murmured: "Muramasa, why don't you respond to me? I'm calling you."

He couldn't hold on anymore and fell down. His body smashed the ice and fell to the bottom of the cold lake.

Kuchiki Byakuya shook his head, received the knock back, and said softly: "It's over."

Senbonzakura said: "Xianghe, if he didn't have such a powerful power, he wouldn't be immersed in this kind of fantasy."

Kuchiki Byakuya said calmly: "This is to be swallowed up by power and dominated by power.".

Chapter 271: One Heart and One Body

"This is what happens to weak-willed men."

Senbonzakura said: "That's right. He and you who want to maintain your dignity and stick to the bottom line are two opposite extremes. In this way, you can finally return to your duties. "

Kuchiki Byakuya lowered his eyes, sheathed his sword, and said nothing.

After Kuchiki Xianghe's death, Muramasa, who had lost consciousness, suddenly rioted. A black halo appeared around his body, like a black hole, forming a whirlpool. Daxu, who had not been eliminated by Ling Bai, was drawn into it. The black gradually expanded, and finally Exploding, deep purple light rose into the sky, he absorbed all the great voids, and the riot of spiritual pressure gradually disappeared, and finally he transformed into a white skeleton with a void hole in the middle of his body.

At this time, Muramasa has merged with Xu.

"Is that Muramasa..."

Uryu Ishida murmured: "It's almost like an Arrancar."

Ling Bai also frowned slightly. No matter what, he was the god of death. In addition, he had been to the Soul King Palace and the palace of Ermeiya Wang Yue. He knew that the soul-cutting sword and its master were one and the same. Through the soul of the master, Communion and symbiosis, in order to maintain his physical form, he must have the power to replace his death master. In order to survive, he is constantly devouring the void.

This also shows how deep his thoughts and persistence were on Xianghe, but it ended up like that. Moreover, Kuchiki Xianghe called him a troublesome waste and completely regarded him as a murderer. tool, at this moment, Muramasa suddenly roared like a beast, suppressing spiritual pressure comparable to that of a captain.

They all know that if Muramasa is left alone, his spiritual pressure is likely to cover the entire Karakura Town. Before that, it must be eliminated, no matter what method is used. At this time, Muramasa also discovered them , swooped down from mid-air, Kuchiki Rukia's pupils suddenly shrank, Muramasa's speed was too fast, and she couldn't react at all.

It was like a cannonball coming towards her. Just before the blade on Muramasa's arm was about to pierce her body, Ling Bai pushed her away violently, pulled out the soul-cutting sword, resisted Muramasa's hand sword, and dived down. The faster the speed, the stronger the power. Ling Bai was pushed back by the impact. As soon as the black flames flowed on the blade, Muramasa had already avoided it and leaped into the air.

Uryū Ishida wanted to repeat his old tricks, raised his spiritual bow, and shot tens of thousands of spiritual arrows into the sky, raining them down on Muramasa like a violent storm, but they were all avoided by Muramasa, and his attack also caused Muramasa paid attention, turned his head and rushed down. With a bang, the location of Ishida Uryu exploded.

Immediately afterwards, Muramasa sprang out of the smoke, and there was no figure of Ishida Uryū inside. He rushed towards Inoue Orihime, and Chado Taihu quickly blocked in front of Orihime, piercing his giant right arm with his sword. Taihu used all his strength to bounce him away.

With such speed and power, it is not easy to eliminate him. He fell to the ground and stopped attacking, seeming to observe the enemy's actions. Inoue Orihime suddenly noticed that the red weapon wrapped in his steel skin His pupils, his eyes, showed endless sadness. It was so pitiful to pursue so desperately, only to be ruthlessly abandoned.

However, Muramasa didn't mean to pity them. A ball of light appeared in his hand and was gradually expanding. That kind of spiritual pressure was exactly the same as the void flash. With a bang, the deep purple ball of light moved toward Inoue Orihime. Ling Bai frowned slightly, Orihime Inoue didn't have much combat experience, and she was too far away from his position. If she detonated it forcibly, Orihime would still be injured.

At the moment when he was thinking, the pink cherry blossoms blocked the trick of the virtual flash, and bounced it to the lake to detonate it. Rukia Kuchiki turned around and saw that her brother was also seriously injured, and wanted to persuade him to heal his injuries first. Haku Kuchiki Zai said: "It doesn't matter. What we have to do now is to defeat this guy. He can actually release the virtual flash. It seems that he has completely disappeared."

At this moment, Muramasa's body emitted purple lightning, as if he had been greatly injured, he covered his head, screamed in pain, and said loudly: "I will not lose, how could I lose?" Give strength to the void.”

"What's going on?" Kuchiki Rukia said.

Ling Bai said: "I think he is fighting the void in his body."

"no……"

Inoue Orihime noticed the red light emitting from his pupils, bit her lower lip, ran over, opened her arms, stood in front of Muramasa, and said loudly: "Stop, stop fighting, the one you are looking for so hard The person is dead and there is no point in fighting anymore."

"It's useless, Inoue." Rukia Kuchiki ran behind her and said in a deep voice, "He has lost his mind now."

"No." Orihime Inoue said decisively: "He has not been completely swallowed up by the void, and there is still hope."

Chapter 272: Overwhelming

"Even in deep despair, he is still desperately trying to find himself."

Rukia Kuchiki also noticed that in Muramasa's roar, Hibiki's name kept echoing. Even if he became like that, about to be swallowed up by the Hollow and abandoned by Kuchiki Hibiki, he still had to find his own Master, Kuchiki Xianghe, is so persistent.

"There is no point in continuing like this. It will only increase your pain."

Orihime Inoue said loudly: "End this quickly!"

Seeing Muramasa standing there motionless, Inoue Orihime slowly walked over. Muramasa also didn't move for a long time. Then they breathed a sigh of relief. Inoue Orihime also showed a happy smile. The moment she smiled, His expression suddenly froze, Muramasa struggled towards him as if in a riot, but Inoue Orihime still took precautions and quickly raised the Instant Shield Rikka.

With a bang, Muramasa's claws pierced the light yellow shield. In less than two seconds, the shield was shattered. Inoue Orihime also flew out. Muramasa wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Ling Bai. Since he couldn't save him from his sorrow, he had no choice but to kill him.

Ling Bai was faster than him. Muramasa knew that he could not gain any advantage in close combat. He distanced himself and released a dark purple flash, but it was cut off by black flames and even burned him. Muramasa's The body was cut in half, but merged again. It seems that he is not an ordinary Hollow, but an Arrancar with super regeneration.

After Muramasa let out a beast-like death, black spiritual pressure covered the sky and flowed freely like a whirlpool. Ling Bai frowned slightly. If this continues, the entire Karakura Town will be destroyed. When he rushed up, black A large number of voids appeared in the whirlpool, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

Such a large number of Hollows looked like stars in the sky when viewed from below. Others also took action. Ishida Uryu's Spirit Arrow and Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura were both used to deal with this large number of Hollows with weak spiritual pressure. Using a sharp weapon, Ling Bai took advantage of the opportunity when spirit arrows and cherry blossoms were flying in the sky, and rushed towards Muramasa in the center. The blade tore through the space and scratched Muramasa's shoulder.

With a bang, Muramasa fell from midair and hit the ground. A deep wound appeared on his shoulder and blood kept flowing out. However, this made him evolve. His body turned into a blood-red individual and continued to expand. Then, like a rainstorm, a red blood mist was sprinkled, instantly covering Ling Bai. A huge blood-red capsule with white eyeballs appeared around him.

There were also cracks in the sky, which was a sign of the appearance of the Hollow. The spiritual pressure of the Hollow swallowed by Muramasa became the fuse. A large number of Hollows rushed out of the red capsule, and the black cavity was also expanding. Dozens of Hollows released Hollow Flashes, sweeping across the entire forest. Kuchiki Byakuya could only use the Soul-Slashing Sword, and Sakura wiped out most of the Hollows.

Just as the group of Hollows were chasing Kuchiki Rukia, the materialized Sode Shirayuki suddenly appeared, and the cold air froze the Hollows behind them.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Sode no Shirayuki, why did you..."

In fact, it wasn't just them, there were other Shinigami and Soul Zanken. The reinforcements from Seireitei had already arrived in Karakura Town, and all the Soul Zanken were released.

"What's going on? Didn't the Soul Zanken rebel..."
