Chapter 43: The Battle of Kenpachi, the trump card of Gui Yancheng!
This sentence was like a spark, which finally completely ignited the powder keg of Guiyan City.

If he had said before that he still needed to rely on Xia Mu, the deputy captain, to handle some team affairs, he had temporarily forgiven Xia Mu and tolerated some of his rebellious behavior.

Well, now, after Natsuki said this, Kenpachi Kiyomizu finally couldn't tolerate it anymore.

"Since you want to challenge me, I will give you a quick death!"

As he spoke, he drew out his Zanpakutō and released it directly.

"Eat them all up, Yasha!"

The sword in his hand suddenly changed and turned into an extremely huge ring-handled broadsword. At the same time, an extremely fierce aura was released from Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

Even if they don't like this person, the members of the 11th Division have to admit that Kenpachi Kiyomizu is a strong man.

Xia Mu still showed no fear when facing the fierce Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

He did not witness the battle between the other party and Kenpachi Gosuke because he was on a mission in Rukongai. When he returned from Rukongai, he heard the news of Gosuke's death.

But he was well aware of Gosuke's strength.

He is not weak, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the new captain of the 11th Squadron by the Central 46th Office, and not just because he was the deputy captain before.

Natsuki did not look down on Kenpachi Kigenjo just because he was killed by Kenpachi Zaraki in the original work. It is not surprising that someone like Zaraki, who becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, can do anything.

Not to mention that there are still many years before Kenpachi Zaraki comes to the Soul Society in the original work.

In the original work, Kiyomizu has been Kenpachi for so many years, and no one has taken his position away from him, which in itself shows that his strength is extraordinary.

Over the years, Xia Mu's strength has improved rapidly. He even got to know Yoruichi and learned a lot of top-level instant step techniques from him.

But even so, because he has not yet learned Bankai, Natsuki is not sure whether he can defeat Kenpachi Kiganjo. He also doesn't know whether Kenpachi Kiganjo has mastered Bankai.

But just like when he faced the powerful Kenpachi Zaraki, he was not afraid and chose to fight with Kenpachi Zaraki.

At this moment, facing the atrocities of Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

Xia Mu couldn't stand it for a moment.

Continuing to allow such a person to serve as Kenpachi is an insult to the 11th Division.

"Dye it! Feiyuan!"

Faced with Kenpachi Kiyomizu's release of his Zanpakuto, Natsuki also released his own Zanpakuto in front of so many people for the first time.

A red mist emerged.

Xia Mu's figure flashed by in an instant, and he used his improved instant step attainment. Before Kenpachi Kiyomizu even had time to react, Xia Mu's figure appeared in front of him, swinging the scarlet long sword.

The powerful swordsmanship learned from Unohana Retsu endowed Xia Mu with extremely advanced slashing skills.

Especially in the real world, the life-and-death fight with the Quincy made Xia Mu progress rapidly.

puff!
Scarlet blood gushed out from Kenpachi Kiyomizu's chest, staining the white haori he was wearing red.

Even though there is red fog, the fog itself is not thick and does not affect people's vision except making the environment a little gloomy.

After seeing this scene, the members of the 11th Division were all shocked, with their pupils either dilating or contracting.

Some people couldn't help but make a sound.

"Is Kenpachi Kiyomizu injured?"

"Vice Captain Xia Mu, can you actually do this?"

Shocked, very shocked.

Because of their closeness, they were very worried about Xia Mu.

However, he did not expect that when the fight just started, it was Xia Mu who had the upper hand.

This made many low-level team members come up with more ideas.

"Perhaps, Vice Captain Natsuki can really defeat Kenpachi Kiyomizu and become the new Kenpachi."

This is the first time since Kenpachi's unique succession ceremony appeared that a Shinigami from the 11th Division hopes that Kenpachi will lose and the challenger will win.

The main reason is that Gui Yancheng is too outrageous and unpopular.

"You deserve to die, bastard!"

Feeling the injuries on his body, Kenpachi Kiyomizu immediately became furious. He swung the ring-handled broadsword in his hand. As he swung the broadsword, a black sword pressure surged out. The sword pressure was ferocious, as if it had turned into a ghost face, wanting to devour all the enemies it touched.

Xia Mu did not use instant movement to dodge.

When he chose to challenge Kenpachi Kiyomizu, he decided to defeat this despicable and disgusting man in a fair way.

The red mist disappeared, and in an instant, all the spirit particles in the area covered by the mist were absorbed into Xia Mu's body. Then, like a fuse, it activated the extremely powerful spiritual power in Xia Mu's body. The spiritual power penetrated his body and turned into terrifying spiritual pressure.

Boom! ! Gui Yancheng's sword pressure suddenly dissipated when it touched Xia Mu's spiritual pressure.

Xia Mu swung his sword and returned the sword pressure from Gui Yancheng.

Because of the release of the Zanpakutō, the golden sword pressure that was originally in the light striking state also turned into a scarlet red sword pressure. Compared to the upright feeling of the golden sword pressure, the scarlet red sword pressure has a stronger dangerous aura and can bring people a stronger sense of oppression.

Facing the sword pressure from Xia Mu's counterattack, Kenpachi Kiyomizu showed a disdainful smile on his face. He swung his Zanpakuto and also fought back.

However, when facing Xia Mu's attack, his slashing attack did not compete with Xia Mu's as imagined. Instead, the sword pressure he slashed out again was swallowed up by Xia Mu's sword pressure, and the red sword pressure instantly came in front of Gui Yancheng.

Kenpachi Kiyomizu had to use instant step to dodge around.

Although it is true that he was born in Rukongai, after accidentally obtaining a Zanpakuto, Kiyomizu also studied some of the fighting methods of the Shinigami.

Of course not, things like ghost ways.

But Shunpo is actually not difficult. As long as you know the principle, you can learn it easily. In the original work, Kurosaki Ichigo learned Shunpo in just one encounter.

Gui Yancheng can naturally also use the instant step.

In the past, he became the overlord of Rukongai by relying on his released Zanpakutō, Shunpo and outstanding fighting ability. When he came to Soul Society and easily defeated Gosuke Kenpachi, he became more and more complacent in his heart, believing that the god of death was no more than that.

However, today, when facing Xia Mu, he had to dodge.

Not to mention, Xia Mu had hurt him before.

This made Gui Yancheng even more angry.

Xia Mu also felt Kenpachi Kiyomizu's anger, so he prepared to calm Kenpachi Kiyomizu down.

After slashing out the red sword pressure, he also used instant step and came to the side of Kenpachi Kiyomizu.

His flash step was faster than Kenpachi Kiyomizu's. He dodged and slashed with the sword.

The battle with Kenpachi was not actually a battle of life and death. As long as one could defeat the current Kenpachi, he could become the new Kenpachi. It was just because it concerned the captain's identity and his own honor. Therefore, in order to maintain this honor, both sides had to go all out, and it finally turned into a fight of life and death.

If Xia Mu had challenged Gosuke, he might not have killed him, but for someone like Gui Yancheng, keeping him alive would only be a nuisance, so it would be better for him to die.

A dangerous aura was approaching, and Kenpachi Kiyomizu's hair stood on end. He instinctively turned around to avoid Xia Mu's knife, and at the same time swung the huge ring-handled sword in his hand, but Xia Mu reached out and grabbed it with his bare hands. Xia Mu didn't care at all about getting his palm injured in the process.

While he controlled Kenpachi Kiyomaru's Zanpakutō with his bare hands, he continued to swing his own Zanpakutō with the other hand.

Gui Yancheng was finally unavoidable.

Xia Mu's knife left a hideous wound on his fat body.

Another stream of blood gushed out.

"I'm going to kill you, bastard!"

After being injured repeatedly, Kenpachi Kiyomizu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After defeating Gosuke and becoming Kenpachi, he despised everything.

After all, according to rumors, Kenpachi is a title that only the strongest god of death can have. He became Kenpachi, and he is the strongest god of death.

Although he did not provoke the other squads because he was not very familiar with the Gotei 13, he believed that he was the undisputed master and king of the 11th Squadron.

However, he was injured by the subordinate he looked down upon. He could not tolerate that a mere bastard dared to provoke him again and again.

"Bankai——Shura Yashaki!"

An increasingly powerful spiritual pressure burst out from Kenpachi Kiyomizu, forcing Natsuki aside for a moment.

The black spiritual pressure enveloped Kiyomizu, and in an instant, Kiyomizu Kenpachi's body became much taller.

He was a very burly man, and at this moment, he became even bigger, as if he had grown one meter taller. A powerful spiritual pressure lingered around his body, some of which turned into black flames.

After hearing Kenpachi Kiyomizu's angry words, the members of the 11th Division were shocked again.

They know very well what "Bankai" is.

Kenpachi Kiganjo has actually mastered Bankai. Facing Kenpachi Kiganjo who has used Bankai, can Vice-Captain Natsuki still win?

"Has he really mastered Bankai?" Natsuki had considered the fact that Kenpachi of Kiganjo had mastered Bankai. Not all Kenpachi were like Zaraki in the original work, who couldn't even release his Zanpakutō.

In fact, Gosuke had also mastered Bankai before, but he seemed to have no chance to use it, and died because he underestimated the strength of Kiyomizu.

Compared to Kenpachi Kiyomizu's use of Bankai, Xia Mu was also concerned about the opponent's current appearance.

Black flames floated around Gui Yancheng's body out of thin air. Gui Yancheng's body grew taller, nearly three meters. His originally fat body became much more muscular, and his face became ferocious, like a Shura evil ghost, with a pair of sharp teeth in his mouth. In his hand, the original ring-handled broadsword became bigger and longer, and the evil ghost pattern on it became more and more terrifying.

A strong evil spirit mixed with powerful spiritual pressure was released from Kenpachi Kiyomizu's body.
