In the first team building and the kendo training hall, Ji Xing holds a wooden sword in both hands, stabbing, lifting, and slashing, and the attacks are high-speed and consistent.
Several long white beards were flying in the air. Captain Yamamoto on the other side had his eyes darkened and glanced at Ji Xing's hands holding the wooden sword.
The normal gesture of holding a sword is to hold it at the base of the hilt, but at this moment, Ji Xing held it at the bottom of the hilt, creating an extra hilt of attack distance out of thin air.
"Kid! There are a lot of tricks!" Captain Yamamoto hummed: "But... it's still far from enough!"
Sa——
His wooden sword was like a meteor, streaking through the air with the sound of wind and afterimages, and stabbing straight into Ji Xing's chest. Ji Xing also moved extremely fast, retracting his attack in an instant, holding the sword normally, and the wooden sword was about to touch him.
When the time comes, open it.
Da da da——
There was another series of collisions and fights. Ji Xing retreated and defended until he was hit by a slash from above, causing his center of gravity to tilt backward. Then he was hit by a horizontal slash and hit the corner of his clothes, causing him to flip backwards.
"Huh--" Ji Xing took a deep breath and said with some regret, "I almost hit it."
"Almost hit? Your swordsmanship is indeed improving." Captain Yamamoto sat down cross-legged and said the same thing: "But... it's still far from enough!"
"Yes, thank you Captain for your advice." Ji Xing also sat down to rest: "Thank you for your hard work."
The captain closed his eyes and said nothing, and used his hands to straighten the beard that he usually maintained up to his chest.
After resting for a moment, he opened his eyes and said: "Kid, I feel an unsettled mood from your kendo today, and your mind is not as focused as before. Why, it's because you were arrested and arrested by Zhenyang Room 46 a few days ago.
Warning? Never touch that kind of dangerous research again."
"I understand." Ji Xing said: "It's not because of that. It's because I've been feeling a little uneasy lately and I feel like something is going to happen."
The captain looked at him with majestic eyes: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Ji Xing smiled: "As expected, I can't hide it from you. In fact, it's the recent disappearance of floating souls and the disappearance of gods of death and nobles that gave me some bad associations."
"how?"
"You are aware of Captain Hikifune's research, which involves making temporary souls, extracting the essence of the temporary soul into food with spiritual pressure, and using these essences to strengthen one's spiritual body, further achieving the purpose of increasing spiritual pressure."
Ji Xing said: "Over the years, following her research, I have also explored some. There is a limit to how the essence can strengthen one's own soul. When all the 'shortcomings' of the soul are made up, there is no use taking more essence. In other words
In other words, it can only help a person reach the limit restricted by his talent."
This is also the reason why Captain Yamamoto did not take the essence. He has already reached the limit of what he can achieve.
"And want to go further."
Ji Xing continued: "We can only break this limit, and according to my speculation, this limit is also the boundary between the God of Death and the Hollow."
The captain narrowed his eyes: "Xu?"
"The god of death becomes virtual, the god of death becomes virtual."
Buzz——
The terrifying spiritual pressure pressed on Ji Xing's body in an instant. Captain Yamamoto stood up and stared at Ji Xing closely: "Kid! It seems you have conducted more than one dangerous research!"
Ji Xing showed a smile: "Everyone says that I am the strongest genius in the past thousand years. If it comes to combat talent, I will do my best, but spiritual pressure talent... is actually just like that. Up to now, I am almost the same as the captains. If I think about it on a higher level,
It may take decades or hundreds of years for someone to be promoted. It is absolutely impossible to be promoted to your level."
This is true. The world of Demon Slayer is far different in terms of personality compared to the world of Death. The accumulation of soul strength in Demon Slayer can only go so far.
"You are not old, but your ambition is not small!" The captain commented: "Yono Masashi! You should know what you absolutely cannot do!"
"Yes, yes, don't be so excited. Being older is not good for your health." Ji Xing said with a smile.
The captain groaned and sat down again.
"If one day you make any dangerous move, I will personally capture and kill you!"
He gave another stern warning before saying: "You mean...the disappearance of the soul is because someone is conducting a 'virtualization' experiment?"
"Well, it's a bit similar. After the soul was broken through that boundary, it couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide." Ji Xing nodded and said, "It's just suspicion." Captain: "Kisuke Urahara?"
"No, Captain doesn't have that time." Ji Xing smiled and said, "If I had to point out a suspect, I would say Vice Captain Aizen."
"snort--"
The commander-in-chief heard this sentence.
In the past few years, Ji Xing would mention Aizen whenever something happened. When he was late, he would say, "I met Aizen on the road and I was pestered to chat for a while."
Just at this moment, the voice of the deputy captain of the 1st Division, Kabu, sounded outside the door: "Captain! A large number of hollow spiritual pressure fluctuations appeared in East Rukongai. It is suspected that a hollow cavity has been opened. Captain Silver Bell of the 6th Division should have contacted
They encounter!"
"Hmm?!" The captain suddenly stood up: "Let the 11th Division coordinate reinforcements immediately!"
In terms of combat, the 11th Division has always been in charge. The Sparrow Division should have left. The Captain was about to leave shortly after to make more preparations. Suddenly, he heard Ji Xing say: "Captain, may I go? After all, I am also a noble.
, and I also need to confirm what I just said."
The captain stared at him for three seconds.
"Go ahead."
…
The Sixth Division is a noble division, and is always commanded by the Kuchiki family, one of the five nobles.
The captain is Ginru Kuchiki, and the vice-captain is his son Sojun Kuchiki. In recent years, his grandson Byakuya Kuchiki has grown up, and even the three seats have been replaced by Byakuya. Many of the team members also have the surname Kuchiki.
Because Kuchiki Sojun has always been weak and his health has been deteriorating in recent years, he did not follow up on this operation. Kuchiki Ginling and Byakuya each led a team to separately investigate the disappearance of the nobles.
After checking and checking, a void suddenly opened in the sky, and dozens of voids fell down. There was nothing else to say when the god of death met the void, and a battle started immediately.
These Hollows have various shapes, ranging from five to six meters high to more than ten meters tall. They wear ferocious masks and exude dangerous auras, but they are all the lowest level herbivorous Hollows. Under the encirclement and suppression of the Kuchiki family elites,
They were killed one by one.
At this time, Kuchiki Byakuya was less than 50 years old. He still had the appearance of a boy, with a stern face, immature but also aristocratic style. His strength was already good, he was basically capable of both swords and weak points, efficient and fast.
"How's it going, grandpa?" Byakuya asked his subordinates who came to his side after killing another Hollow.
"Sir Yin Ling thinks that there is something fishy about the empty talk, so he has gone to find the source and asked Master Byakuya to be careful."
"Ah, I don't have to worry here." Byakuya used Shunpo to smash the mask of a Hollow again, making the damage disappear. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
"That is?!"
"Master Byakuya, be careful!"
In the sky, directly overhead, the void suddenly seemed to be torn apart, and a huge dark hole opened, revealing a huge figure!
It should be over 50 meters tall. It looks like a witch in black clothes and a clown-like mask. It has eye-catching features and the spiritual pressure it emits is amazing!
"There is actually Daxu Kilian?!"
Kuchiki Byakuya shouted: "Stand back!"
His spiritual pressure was instilled into the Zanpakutō, and he chanted: "Scatter, Senbonzakura."
Beginning to understand!
In an instant, his blade broke into thousands of fragments, flying in the air as he moved, like beautiful cherry blossoms, but full of danger.
Byakuya waved the handle of the sword, and the cherry blossoms on the blade condensed into a white galaxy, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and rushing towards the low-level Great Void Kilian who was walking out of the void cavity.
The Milky Way rotates around.
Killian's witch coat was riddled with holes in an instant, and she was cut all the way to her neck. She let out a shrill scream, her head fell off, and she was killed!
The huge figure turned into a spirit and dissipated. The scattered Senbonzakura re-condensed into a sword in Byakuya's hand. The young Byakuya took a slight breath.
"Killian, killed in an instant?!"
"As expected of Master Byakuya!"
In the face of everyone's exclamation, Byakuya showed no trace of his appearance and turned around calmly: "Killian will show up unexpectedly. Koji, go and inform grandpa."
Kuchiki Koji, who was called by his name, did not move for a moment, but stared blankly.
The other members of Division 6 also showed shocked expressions: "Master Byakuya! Behind!"
Needless to say, Byakuya knew something was wrong when he saw this reaction and felt the spiritual pressure.
He had already turned around, and saw that the empty cavity had not closed due to Killian's death, but instead expanded further, and there were more than a dozen figures appearing exactly like the Killian who had just been killed by him!
"How is it possible? So many things?!"
Killian was unconscious, and more than a dozen of them were crowded in the cavity that was not big enough. No one could get out for a while. The three at the front seemed impatient, and red light condensed in front of their masks!
Byakuya had only seen this thing in books.
"Is it a false flash?! Back away!" Byakuya waved his left hand vigorously and his right hand waved his Zanpakutō.
Killian's concentrated virtual flash is very slow.
The blade turned into a cherry blossom again and slashed at the Kilians as fast as possible, but the attack power of the blade was slightly insufficient. Just after killing one, the red light balls in front of the masks of the other two Kilians were already fully formed!
"Ouch——"
Amid the ear-piercing howl, the scarlet ball of light turned into a stream of light and blasted towards Byakuya! Byakuya quickly mobilized his Sakura Blade to block it, but was defeated in an instant!
"Master Byakuya!
"The team members who retreated under his instructions shouted in panic.
"Don't come over!
"
Byakuya had a chance to dodge in advance. Shunpo learned from Yoruichi and he was very fast. But he could dodge, but the team members couldn't.
At this time, facing the false flash coming from the front, it was too late to hide, so he could only let out a low cut and release all his spiritual pressure to protect himself.
At the critical moment, a circular barrier made of golden light suddenly blocked in front of him!
‘Thirty-nine Binding Paths - Round Gate Fan?’ As soon as this thought flashed through Bai Zai’s mind, the virtual flash suddenly hit the spiritual round fan. In an instant, the terrifying shock wave expanded, and the scarlet light annihilated everything!
His eyes were filled with this light. Byakuya Kuchiki could only vaguely see the round gate fan blocking the false flash for a moment, diverting the power of the false flash. Then he let out a muffled groan and flew backwards as if being hit by a hill, until he felt that he was in the air.
He was caught in mid-air and carried on his shoulders, and his mind relaxed slightly.
"Sorry, Grandpa." He said shyly.
"Well, I can't bear to be called Master Byakuya like that." A strange voice came to his ears.
"……Um?!"
The light of the impact gradually dissipated, and Byakuya, who was put back on the ground to stand firm, looked at the boy in front of him who looked similar to himself, his eyes twitching wildly.
"You...you are?!"
Ji Xing smiled and said: "First time meeting, Master Byakuya, I am Yono Mashi."
