Chapter 83 The strange Zanpakuto, Yanra Kagano!
Although alert, Natsuki did not give up attacking Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

His figure flashed and he appeared above and to the side of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

The scarlet Zanpakutō was swung out.

Carrying an extremely terrifying power.

This is a simple slash.

However, Tsunayashiro Tokinada had already felt the terrifying power contained in such a slash before. That was because he had not fully released the Zanpakutō in his hand, and so the force could not be bounced back.

Yes, the real ability of the knife in his hand is not to rebound the attack.

Its true ability is——

"Break him, Tengumaru!"

A deep voice was heard, as if the Zanpakuto was released again, or perhaps the previous release words were just a random remark. The Zanpakuto in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand suddenly turned into a huge cactus-like mace.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada held it horizontally above his head.

Xia Mu's slashing blow landed on it.

The huge force pushed Tsunayashiro Tokinada's body, causing it to sink downwards, but Natsuki's slashing attack was still blocked. Then, Tsunayashiro Tokinada's spiritual pressure exploded. With the explosion of his spiritual pressure, explosive flames suddenly appeared on the huge mace, and the raging flames attacked Natsuki from bottom to top.

Xia Mu immediately used instant step to try to escape.

Suddenly, the air around him suddenly condensed, and a feeling of heaviness that was difficult to describe in words appeared on Xia Mu's body.

The huge mace had disappeared, and in its place was another "knife" with a unique shape, like a black stick. When the black stick was swung, heavy pressure was exerted on Xia Mu, restricting him from moving in an instant.

The flames created by the huge mace did not disappear, and were still rushing towards Xia Mu's direction.

boom!
Xia Mu's body was engulfed by flames.

But soon, the flames exploded again.

The blood-red spiritual pressure seemed to be a real substance, covering Xia Mu's body. The blood-red gauze robe covering his captain's haori also became more and more real.

A powerful spiritual pressure wall is formed by bursting out spiritual pressure.

"What a powerful spiritual pressure!"

"As expected of the modern-day Kenpachi."

Tsunayashiro Tokinada had a playful look on his face as he looked at Natsuki who was shrouded in spiritual pressure, and a voice came out of his mouth.

"That knife..."

Xia Mu's eyes were fixed on the black stick held by Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

In a short period of time, the opponent has revealed two completely different abilities.

The second ability is somewhat similar to Kira Izuru's "Wabisuke" in the original work. It seems that it can change gravity and thus affect the actions of others, but there are still some differences. After all, "Wabisuke" needs to chop people to work.

What Xia Mu was most concerned about was the first ability used by the other party.

If he heard correctly, he seemed to hear the name "Tengumaru", and this huge cactus-shaped mace was clearly Aikawa Ramu's Zanpakutō.

So, what's going on with that knife?

Can it imitate other knives?
Xia Mu began to think.

Not far away, Unohana Retsu was also looking at Tsunayashiro Tokinada with a focused gaze.

Although many of the five great nobles have been integrated into the Gotei 13, they are, after all, great nobles who are high and mighty. Even though she is the captain who has been with the Gotei 13 since its establishment, she does not know the secrets of these great nobles.

But there is no doubt that she was also interested in the sword in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand.

Feeling Natsuki's gaze, Tsunayashiro Tokinada showed a smug smile on his face. He said complacently, "Do you know? In the history of Soul Society, many extremely powerful swords have been born. However, some swords, due to the limitations of their masters' talents, could not fully display their powerful strength, and then died because of their masters' deaths."

"But I don't."

"As long as I use this sword in my hand, I can reproduce those powerful abilities one by one and surpass the original ones!"

While speaking, Tsunayashiro Tokinada swung the knife in his hand again.

"Tear it apart, Kuang Lan!"

The black stick changed again and turned into an extremely huge sword. With one swing of the sword, dozens of wind blades broke through the air and tore towards Xia Mu. The aftermath of gravity still existed, which greatly affected Xia Mu's movements.

However, Xia Mu did not think of relying on flash step to dodge again.

Instead, he clenched the Zanpakutō in his hand.

He also swung a knife.

Unlike the dozens of wind blades in front of him, when he slashed with the sword, the spiritual pressure that had originally enveloped his body became more violent. The blood-red light covered the entire sky in front of him, and the wind blades collided with it, and finally, all of them were annihilated.

“It seems to be just that!”

Natsuki commented as he blocked all of Tsunayashiro Tokinada's attacks with one sword.

As for the ability of the Zanpakuto in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand.

After Tsunayashiro Tokinada said those words, he already had the answer in his mind. As he guessed, Tsunayashiro Tokinada could use that sword to imitate the abilities of other swords.

Although he responded with "nothing more than that" after defeating Tsunayashiro Tokinada's attack, he did not relax at all in his heart. After all, as Tsunayashiro Tokinada said, many powerful Zanpakutō had been born in the history of Soul Society.

There are some knives with strange abilities among them.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was not angry at what Natsuki said, and said calmly: "Since you are Kenpachi, then use the power of that sword."

"Born to slaughter auspicious omens, respect darkness and farewell to aging, hungry and happy corridors!"

In fact, he didn't need to recite the corresponding release words to imitate the abilities of other Zanpakuto, but perhaps it was a habit, or perhaps it was a bad taste, and he wanted to show Xia Mu the power of the sword in his hand.

Sometimes, Tsunayashiro Tokinada likes to recite the words of liberation.

In an instant, the knife in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand changed again. It disappeared, and was replaced by dozens of white spheres the size of brown bears. The spheres had no eyes, ears, limbs or the like, only a huge and ferocious mouth with sharp teeth in the mouth.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada waved his hand, and in an instant, many white spheres flew towards Xia Mu, opening their bloody mouths, wanting to swallow Xia Mu.

Xia Mu swung his sword and released a slashing attack towards these white spheres. The red slashing attacks fell on these white spheres and were directly swallowed by them with their bloody mouths. Then, their bodies seemed to become a little bigger and continued to fly towards Xia Mu.

These things reminded Xia Mu of a game called "Pacman" that he played in his childhood. Of course, he knew that this was not Pacman. These things were just very similar to that thing. In essence, it was a Zanpakutō.

Xia Mu happened to have seen that knife.

Although I only saw it once, the memory is vivid.

The Zanpakutō belonging to Kenpachi Kuriyashiki!

Kenpachi Kuriyashiki is a person who doesn't like to use the power of his Zanpakutō.

Because his Zanpakutō is too powerful, he is strictly forbidden by the Central Forty-Six Chambers to use his Bankai in Soul Society and its surrounding areas.

Because of this ban, Kenpachi Kuriyashiki never used Bankai again after that.

Not only Bankai, he rarely uses even Shikai.

This is naturally related to his strong strength.

Even if he faces a Hollow, he can still defeat it with just his white fighting and zanpakutō. Because Natsuki joined the 11th Division relatively late, it was already the late period of Kenpachi Kuryashiki's reign, so he has rarely seen Kenpachi Kuryashiki unleash his Zanpakutō in battle. He has only seen the other party unleash his Zanpakutō once.

That was before he was defeated by Kenpachi Zaraki and was about to die.

In order to stop the team members who were angry because Kenpachi Zaraki had severely injured him, he released his Zanpakutō but did not launch any attack.

Later, when Natsuki became the vice-captain and then captain of the 11th Division, he also learned about the Zanpakuto of his predecessors Kenpachi.

Gosuke and Kiyomizu had nothing to say.

One is incompetent, the other is just an idiot.

Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto abilities remain a secret to this day.

Xia Mu had some guesses, but he wasn't sure.

The only exception is Kuriyashiki. Perhaps because his Bankai was banned by the Central Forty-six Chambers, or perhaps because he had created too many miracles, his reputation once spread throughout Soul Society and he was once called the "Strongest Kenpachi", so the information about him is the most among the recent generations of Kenpachi.

"You guy..."

Xia Mu continued to launch attacks towards these huge white ball creatures.

These things can devour all attacks from spirit sub-types, and they have both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Due to their large numbers, apart from a few who launched the attack, the rest stayed guarding Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Even though Xia Mu used instant movement to get close to Tsunayashiro Tokinada and wanted to launch an attack on him, he was still blocked by these things.

But even so, Xia Mu did not become impatient.

After all, that's just how familiar he and Kenpachi Kuriyashiki were.

Although he and the other members of the 11th Division respected Kenpachi at one point, the time they spent together was too short and they did not establish a deep relationship.

Being able to fight against Kenpachi Kuriyashiki's Zanpakutō in this way made Natsuki feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

It's so difficult to rescue just by Hajime.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of horrible Bankai would result in such a ban being issued by the Central 46th Room.

Just as Natsuki continued to attack Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

Suddenly, a terrifying slash came from the side.

Swish!
The white spherical creature was cut into two halves and then turned into spirit particles and annihilated.

A figure wearing a white haori forcibly intervened in the battle between Natsuki and Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

A hint of surprise flashed across Tsunayashiro Tokinada's eyes.

"What? Senior, you have already put down your knife. Are you going to pick up that murderous knife again today?"

He asked as he looked at Unohana Retsu, who was holding a Zanpakutō that looked like an Asauchi and exuding a cold and captivating aura.

Unohana Retsu's temperament at this moment has changed compared to before. She is no longer gentle, but has become a little cold.

"No matter what you say, I just can't accept the desecration of the dead."

A deep voice came out of Unohana Retsu's mouth.

"Using the dead's Zanpakutō to allow their former power to reappear in the world, do you think that is a blasphemy against the dead?" Tsunayashiro Tokinada seemed to have heard something interesting, and his tone changed again, "In that case, then I will use the power of the living!"

As he spoke, all the white spherical creatures that were capable of both offense and defense disappeared.

The sword that had disappeared before reappeared in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand.

The terrifying heat permeated the air.

A raging flame broke out.

"Everything in the world is reduced to ashes!"

With a swing of the sword, a vast flame illuminated the originally extremely dark Great Void Forest. This instantaneous fluctuation caused countless Great Voids in the Great Void Forest to realize the changes here. Then, the flame split into two strands like a giant snake, and coiled towards the place where Xia Mu and Unohana Retsu were.

"Chengguo Yanshang!"

In an instant, the flames formed like a wall, surrounding Natsuki and Unohana Retsu.

As an old comrade of Captain-General Yamamoto, Unohana Retsu naturally knew about the abilities of Captain-General Ryujin Jakka.

After releasing Ryujin Jakka, there are many ways to attack.

But Tsunayashiro Tokinada chose to use this move.

She immediately guessed Tsunayashiro Tokinada's intention, "Are you planning to escape?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada did not hide anything when facing Unohana Retsu's question, nor did he show any shame. "If there is only one captain, I don't mind playing with him, but if you also make a move, even I will feel a lot of pressure."

"That's enough for today."

As he spoke, the Zanpakutō in Tsunayashiro Tokinada's hand changed again.

It transformed into a huge one-eyed ray, which turned out to be Unohana Retsu's Zanpakutō "Nishizuku". He actually transformed the opponent's Zanpakutō in front of Unohana Retsu.

Nishizuku is a medical Zanpakutō, and when it is in its Shikai, it can quickly heal the wounds of the wounded.

In addition to this, because it is a biological Zanpakutō, it can even carry its owner into flight.

Tsunayashiro Tokinada quickly jumped onto the back of the huge one-eyed ray, and just like that, under the gazes of Natsuki and Unohana Retsu, he calmly walked away.

After Tsunayashiro Tokinada left.

Xia Mu also burst out with powerful spiritual pressure, and with the help of slashing, he destroyed the opponent's imitation of Ryujin Jakka's "Castle Flame".

A short battle ended here.

During this time, Tsunayashiro Tokinada revealed many strange abilities.

That knife left a deep impression on Xia Mu and Unohana Retsu's hearts.

But this does not mean that this incident has come to an end.

Because Tsunayashiro Tokinada appeared in the Great Hollow Forest, this incident evolved in an even more bizarre and complicated direction.

"Do we still need to explore deeper into the Great Void Forest?"

Xia Mu asked Unohana Retsu.

An old house where a treasure.

At this time, the opinions of senior colleagues are still very important.

Just like in the original novel, when Kuchiki Rukia was executed, most people focused their attention on the Double Death Hill, but Unohana Retsu focused her attention on the Central Forty-six Rooms. Beneath her gentle appearance, she hid an extremely delicate heart.

"I don't know when Tsunayashiro Tokinada came to the Great Hollow Forest. We can explore the central area again to see if we can find any traces he left behind."

Unohana Retsu quickly gave his opinion.
