Tsubaki: "Idiot woman, run! This guy is no match for you. If you run now, I can hold him off for a bit."
"..."
the other side.
Rukia Kuchiki, who was walking on the street in the distance, suddenly stopped and stared in shock at the giant iceberg that had suddenly risen from nowhere near the Ninth Division:
"That is……"
"Captain Hitsugaya's..."
"The strongest ice-type Zanpakuto, Hyōrinmaru!"
Although her Sode no Shirayuki is also an ice-type Zanpakuto, it is insignificant compared to Hyōrinmaru; there is no comparison.
The opponent is the second most powerful Zanpakuto, after the Captain-Commander.
It is said to possess the ability to control ice and celestial phenomena.
The captain even commented on this Zanpakuto.
It is said that if Toshiro Hitsugaya had fully mastered Hyōrinmaru, the cold air it released would have been enough to freeze the entire Seireitei.
Yoruichi the Black Cat said gravely, "It seems someone has encountered Toshiro Hitsugaya. Rukia, we need to hurry over and check it out."
Rukia Kuchiki nodded quickly and rushed toward the distant iceberg.
"..."
Near the iceberg site.
Shiba Kukaku gazed at the giant iceberg, her beautiful eyes turning serious, and said in a deep voice:
"As expected of the captain of Seireitei, even the youngest captain's strength should not be underestimated."
Hitsugaya Toshiro wasn't complacent because of the praise. Holding Hyōrinmaru, he coldly looked at Shiba Kukaku and said calmly:
"Shiba Kukaku, do you still want to resist?"
Because of Aizen Sousuke's betrayal, his childhood friend, Hinamori Momo from the Fifth Division, cried her heart out.
She wasn't crying.
They were on their way to find Aizen Sousuke.
He was seething with anger, and he was just looking for a way to vent it.
Shiba Kukaku pressed Inoue Orihime's right hand down, pulling her back, and said in a deep voice:
"Inoue Orihime, stay behind me. The battle ahead is not for you to participate in, and don't do anything unnecessary."
She was deeply shocked by the abilities that Inoue Orihime had awakened.
However, she had no hope whatsoever for Inoue Orihime's fighting ability.
Orihime Inoue nodded somewhat ashamed.
Back in the real world, Ye Yun had also tried to make her stronger, but no matter how much she trained, her combat power didn't change much.
Seeing their attitudes, Hitsugaya Toshiro brandished his Zanpakuto and coldly said:
"So you're still going to resist? Then don't blame me."
The words fell.
Hitsugaya Toshiro's figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared three meters in front of the two, unleashing a chilling slash with Hyōrinmaru.
"Birds forming icicles!"
In an instant, the water molecules in the air froze, transforming into pure white ice birds that shot forward like arrows.
The sound of something cutting through the air rose and fell in waves.
The sky seemed to be covered by pure white ice birds.
Where icebirds fly, the temperature drops sharply, and people shiver in the biting cold.
Shiba Kukaku sensed something was wrong and quickly pointed her hand forward, a scorching fireball appearing in her fair palm.
"Broken Path No. 31: Red Fire Cannon!"
The flames shattered dozens of white ice birds.
But a large number of icebirds still came head-on.
Orihime Inoue quickly stretched out her hands, forming a triangle:
"I refuse to form a shield in three days!"
Three little spirits flew out like rays of light, blocking Shiba Kukaku's path and forming a triangular yellow spiritual energy shield.
Hundreds and thousands of white icebirds crashed into them.
The crackling sounds rose and fell in waves.
The yellow light shield quickly became shaky and cracked.
With a "bang" sound.
The yellow light shield that had been formed over three days shattered.
Fire Chrysanthemum, Plum Blossom, and Lily, the three little fairies, flew back, looking extremely weak.
Hinokiku transformed into a ray of yellow light and returned to Orihime Inoue's hair ornament, managing to utter a weak voice:
"Orihime, no, this child is too strong. We can't stop him on our own."
She had just finished speaking.
Hitsugaya Toshiro arrived at lightning speed, bringing with him a chilling aura.
Shiba Kukaku pulled out her Zanpakuto from somewhere and gritted her teeth to confront it head-on, but after a few strikes, she was at a disadvantage.
"Lord Kukaku!"
Inoue Orihime looked at Shiba Kukaku with nervousness.
She could see it very clearly.
Shiba Kukaku's hand gripping the hilt of the sword.
It was now covered by a thick layer of frost.
The chill seeped into his bones, causing Shiba Kukaku's pale hands to tremble uncontrollably, as if he were about to drop his sword.
"it's over!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro swung his sword again.
The slash struck the air, but instantly formed a cold iceberg that spread wildly, threatening to freeze the two women into ice sculptures.
Looking at the iceberg approaching.
Both women's pupils were dilated to the extreme.
At this critical moment, a lazy voice came from the wall behind the two women:
"Chief Shiba, you're so pathetic! You're supposed to be the head of a clan, how come you can't even beat a child?"
"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Duan Kong!"
A semi-transparent, glass-like defensive wall appeared out of thin air in front of the two women, and with a loud bang, it blocked the ever-frozen ice.
White ice birds crashed wildly against it.
It didn't even cause cracks in the air defense wall.
The two women breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look.
Orihime Inoue showed a look of surprise and ran happily towards Ye Yun:
"Ye Yunjun, you've come to save us!"
Shiba Kukaku also saw Ye Yun, and a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes:
"Is this young man Ye Yun?"
Although she didn't know Ye Yun's achievements in Seireitei, the scene she witnessed a few days ago made her dare not underestimate this black-haired boy.
Ignoring Ye Yun's earlier rudeness, Shiba Kukaku smiled and said:
"It's a good thing you came at the crucial moment, otherwise both Inoue Orihime and I would have been frozen."
Ye Yun coughed and said, "Actually, I arrived three minutes ago, but I just wanted to watch the excitement, so I stayed on the sidelines."
A grid pattern appeared on Shiba Kukaku's forehead, and he involuntarily clenched his fist.
Oops.
What should I do if I really want to hit someone?
Orihime Inoue, however, didn't care, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the wounds on Ye Yun's body:
"Ye Yunjun, how did you get so many injuries? You must have had a tough time these past few days. I wish I could have come sooner."
Ye Yun coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed.
His injuries were all from his recent fight with Retsu Unohana in bed.
It was precisely for the purpose of treating these injuries.
That's why he didn't step in to save the two women immediately.
Shiba Kukaku blinked, staring at the "red hickeys" planted on Ye Yun's body, and gave him a strange expression:
"Is something wrong with your injury?"
As the head of the Shiba family, she was used to battles and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ye Yun's injuries.
Whose injury looks so ambiguous?
Irregular red patches were present on her neck, arms, and face.
Especially the neck and shoulders.
You can still see many teeth marks, small and deep, as if someone had just bitten you with their cherry-like lips and it hasn't healed yet.
Thinking back to the erotic novels he had once read, Shiba Kukaku revealed a subtle expression and said with a smile:
