"Sorry, I have more important things now."

Kurosaki Ichigo replied mindlessly, "And there is no reason why we must fight, right?"

"Is that so..."

Ulquiorra responded calmly.

"But if I say...I will ravage your other companions, does it matter?"

clang--

The Zanpakutō struck violently on Ulquiorra's arm, which he raised to block.

"You guy, do you know what you are talking about?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's tone was full of anger.

"Of course I know, but unfortunately, this is the order I got."

Ulquiorra replied calmly, "I keep hunting you, or your companions. It seems... that you are more willing to bear it yourself than your companions."

"asshole!"

Kurosaki Ichigo roared angrily.

He had just experienced the taste of death.

You know that feeling of incomparable despair and pain, and now this guy actually says he wants to keep hunting?

Any normal person would go crazy after being tortured like that!

"Now...do you have a reason to fight me?"

Ulquiorra looked at the furious Kurosaki Ichigo and asked calmly.

boom--

What answered him was a spiritual pressure impact that was almost too close.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo did this not to attack, but to create smoke to obscure his vision.

He knew that he could not defeat the guy in front of him under normal conditions, so he chose to interfere with the opponent's line of sight and distance himself.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and Ulquiorra stood unscathed, looking as calm as ever.

Kurosaki Ichigo, on the other hand, was already standing in the distance, lowering his posture and getting ready for battle.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to confirm their situation and don't have time to accompany you here. So... I will go all out to knock you down in one fell swoop!"

Dark spiritual pressure suddenly rose into the sky, and then Kurosaki Ichigo leaped high and came towards this side.

Ulquiorra watched Kurosaki Ichigo's movements calmly, and was a little unmoved at first.

"Swastika?"

But soon, when he saw clearly what Kurosaki Ichigo looked like at this moment, his eyes changed.

At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's face was covered with a mask whose aura made him feel familiar.

At the moment just now, the opponent not only performed swastika interpretation, but also performed virtualization!

"Are you going all out? That's it..."

He murmured and raised his hand to block.

The next moment, slashes carrying dark spiritual power fell violently from top to bottom.

clang--

The crisp sound of forging resounded throughout the space.

Even when facing Kurosaki Ichigo's all-out attack, Ulquiorra still blocked it with only one arm, expressionless.

Not only that……

boom--

Ulquiorra's arms were violently exerted, and Kurosaki Ichigo's figure was instantly bounced away, turning into a black shadow and flying backwards, breaking several pillars in the room before barely stopping.

"..."

Ulquiorra looked at his arm calmly.

Of course, he was not injured, he just felt that he seemed to be unable to hurt Kurosaki Ichigo on the opposite side.

Is this virtualization? It’s just like them.

Soon, he stepped lightly on the ground and disappeared.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had stopped, seemed to be waiting for him to pursue him.

"It's time to end! Crescent Moon-Tian Chong!"

Facing the oncoming Ulquiorra, Kurosaki Ichigo unleashed his strongest attack with all his strength.

The jet-black spiritual pressure slash struck towards Ulquiorra without mercy.

"..."

Ulquiorra, who was moving at high speed, did not dodge, but stretched out a hand to calmly catch the blow.

But when he felt the power of this blow, he realized that he had overstretched himself.

The terrifying power coming from his palm forced him to stretch out his other hand to resist.

But even with another hand, he seemed unable to tear this spiritual pressure attack into pieces.

"How can it be?"

boom--

The dark crescent moon mercilessly hugged Ulquiorra and hit the wall at the end of the room, causing smoke and dust to fill the air.

Card--

The mask on Kurosaki Ichigo's face shattered, which meant that his Hollow had reached its limit.

Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, he exhaled a thick breath.

"This...should be settled, right?"

He could clearly see that the guy was too careless. He actually wanted to catch his special move with his bare hands. He was hit head-on with all his strength. Even if he didn't die...

"How can it be?"

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly shrank when he saw the figure standing in the diffuse smoke.

Ulquiorra was still looking at him with an indifferent expression as usual. It seemed that apart from some damage to his clothes, he had not suffered any substantial damage.

"..."

Ulquiorra raised his hand calmly.

He looked at the wound on his palm with a calm expression, "You can't completely block it even with both hands... This does surprise me a little. But... is this your full strength?"

Right now, he hasn't even used a return blade yet.

The guy in front of him tried his best but could only leave such a small wound on his body. There was nothing to say about the outcome.

He never doubted Lord Aizen's orders.

But this mission actually left him with a doubt.

The strength of the invaders is not even close to the Arrancars like them. What is the significance of such a trial?

At least he personally feels... there is only one situation under such a power gap.

That is, this group of people will never be able to recover under their killings.

"Won't you answer my question?"

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's silence, Ulquiorra raised his hand and said calmly, "Then it seems that is indeed the case. What a pity."

As he spoke, a dark light flickered at his fingertips.

False flash.

"hateful!"

Kurosaki Ichigo growled unwillingly.

But having exhausted all his strength, he couldn't even dodge quickly, so he could only raise his Zanpakutō to resist.

Under Xu Shan's fierce bombardment, his body penetrated the wall and came under the artificial sky in Xu Ye Palace.

Under the 'sunlight', his figure became even more invisible, and he was instantly overtaken by Ulquiorra, who was following closely behind.

boom--

Kurosaki Ichigo felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. A fierce side kick almost penetrated him, and he was kicked to the side of the building. In an instant, another building turned into ruins.

.

"Cough...cough..."

Looking at Kurosaki Ichigo who was coughing and struggling to get up, Ulquiorra came slowly and calmly.
To be continued...
