Chapter 216: Before you stands the strongest first division in history!

"Quiet Spirit Court"

At this moment, after Yhwach led the Star Cross Knights in invading the Soul Society, about an hour has passed, and the knights of the Star Cross Knights have already become locked in battle with the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads!

Perhaps because even the Soul King himself has taken the Quincy's side, after the Star Cross Knights' warriors clashed with the captains of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, they repeatedly used the Star Medals they obtained from Yhwach to successfully seize Final Release from the Death Gods' hands! For a time, the knights were in the limelight, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory...

However, at this very moment, the appearance of a figure drew everyone's attention, becoming the focus of countless Death Gods and Quincy.

"Who the hell is that guy? What's he doing flying up there for no reason?!"

"There's no enemy up there!"

"Have you been scared stupid by our Quincy's power?!"

One of the Star Cross Knights, Bazubi, who possessed the Holy Letter H (Scorching), sensed Hirokawa Kuchiki's presence and immediately looked up, gazing at Hirokawa as he held his Soul-Cutter Sword overhead, and asked doubtfully.

"He's called Hirokawa Kuchiki, a member of our Kuchiki family~"

As Bazubi looked at Hirokawa, a doubtful expression appeared on his face……

A somewhat aged voice suddenly sounded before him, clearing up his confusion.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Bazubi slowly turned his body to look at the person who had spoken to clear up his doubts, his expression carrying a hint of suspicion.

In Bazubi's field of vision appeared an old man with silver-white long hair and a stern face, wearing a white overgarment bearing the Kuchiki family insignia on his back, one hand lightly stroking his beard, the other hand loosely held behind his back, silently gazing at him.

"I am Ginrei Kuchiki, the former head of the Kuchiki family!"

"Former captain of the Sixth Division of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads!"

"At the same time, I am currently the chief elder of the Kuchiki family!"

This visitor is none other than the father of Hirokawa Kuchiki and Sōjun Kuchiki, the paternal grandfather of Byakuya Kuchiki, who currently represents the interests of the entire noble body of the Five Great Noble Houses and the Quiet Spirit Court, serving as one of the six great judges of the New Central Forty-Six.

"Oh? So you're this guy's father?"

Upon hearing this, Bazubi looked at Ginrei and asked.

At the same time, Bazubi didn't forget to point his finger at the half-crouching figure not far away, whose expression bore a hint of embarrassment—it was Sōjun Kuchiki, from whom Bazubi had seized the Final Release using the Star Medal. Obviously, Sōjun had engaged Bazubi in a fierce battle, and unfortunately lost his Final Release to Bazubi, ending in defeat~

"Exactly!"

Ginrei Kuchiki nodded slightly upon hearing that.

"Hahaha! That's simply perfect!"

"To be honest, I was just about to come looking for you! Since you've come yourself, let me use your son's Final Release to defeat you~"

"I truly don't know what kind of feeling you'll have when you see your beloved son's Final Release being used by someone else!!"

At this moment, Bazubi's expression bore a hint of ferocity; he wore a bull-like visage and sneered at Ginrei Kuchiki.

"Hehe! Using my son's Final Release?"

"As expected, you Quincy aren't just simply sealing Final Release!"

Upon hearing Bazubi's words, Ginrei Kuchiki immediately showed an expression of 'as expected'.

"It's good that you know! Unfortunately, you found out a bit late~"

Bazubi sighed, his face still bearing pride at this moment.

"Really? Then let me offer you a piece of advice!"

"If you really want to use Sōjun's Final Release, then hurry up and use it!"

"Because soon, your Final Release won't be usable!"

Ginrei Kuchiki coldly said to Bazubi.

"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Bazubi looked at Ginrei doubtfully and asked.

"You'll find out soon……"

Upon hearing this, Ginrei coldly said to Bazubi.

"Final Release! No-Hook Strap Muramasa!"

Just as Bazubi was puzzled……

In the sky, Hirokawa Kuchiki's voice suddenly rang out.

The next second, a strange low voice began to echo slowly throughout the Quiet Spirit Court! It continually reverberated in the ears of all Star Cross Knights members who had successfully seized the Final Release of captain-level Death Gods!

"Huh?!"

For a moment, Bazubi's complexion slightly changed.

"What did that guy do?"

Bazubi lowered his head, looked at Ginrei before him, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yeah? What did he do?"

Upon hearing this, Ginrei gave Bazubi a cold smile.

"So hot!! I, who possess the Scorching ability, actually got burned?"

Just as Bazubi was puzzled, the Star Medal he tightly gripped suddenly became scorching hot, its temperature continually rising; even Bazubi, who mastered the Holy Letter H (Scorching), would accidentally fling it away if he were careless!

"Boom!!"

Exactly at the moment Bazubi threw away the Star Medal in his hand……

Where the Star Medal fell, a figure with a somewhat strange appearance immediately appeared, clad in complete thick armor, a strong and tall sturdy man, who caught it with one hand.

"What? Who are you?"

Bazubi looked at the newcomer doubtfully and asked.

"Huh? You don't even know who I am?!"

After hearing Bazubi's words, the sturdy man looked at Bazubi doubtfully and asked.

"Should I know who you are?"

Bazibi heard this, his expression showing a hint of impatience, and he retorted.

"What a scumbag!"

"She was just, you personally snatched her away~"

After hearing Bazibi's words, the strong man showed a hint of anger and denounced Bazibi's scum-like behavior.

"Hah? Don't spout nonsense!"

"How could I possibly go steal such an ugly guy like you!"

"Besides, my sexual orientation has always been normal!"

Upon hearing the strong man's words, Bazibi instantly flew into a rage and roared at the strong man.

"How heartbreaking! Just now you were planning to use her power to defeat Old Man Yinling, and now that you see her true form, you call her ugly~"

The strong man's voice still carried his anger toward Bazibi.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"What I just said was to use that pale-faced sickly fellow lying over there, his Soul-Cutting Sword's Bankai, to defeat that sickly fellow's old man!"

"When did I ever say I wanted to use your power?"

Bazibi looked at the strong man before him and asked coldly.

"Because! I am Sōjun's Bankai~"

"How? You really don't know me at all?"

Upon hearing Bazibi's words, the strong man suddenly revealed a vicious grin.

"You... what?!"

At this moment, Bazibi seemed to be possessed by Ichigo Kurosaki.

First he showed an incredulous expression, then as if he hadn't heard clearly, he continued asking the strong man as if repeating the strong man's earlier words.

"What? You didn't hear me clearly?"

"Then I'll say it again! I am Sōjun's Bankai!"

The strong man looked at Bazibi and continued.

"Don't joke around! Bastard!"

Bazibi felt a surge of anger, thinking he had been fooled by the strong man.

Thus, as Bazibi spoke, he instantly activated his Holy Script ability; his fingers ignited with raging flames, which he aimed at the head of the one claiming to be Sōjun's Bankai.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, before Bazibi could unleash his Holy Script, he was blown away by the gale manipulated by the self-proclaimed Bankai wielder.

"Is this really the power of that sickly fellow's Soul-Cutting Sword Bankai?"

After being blown away by the strong man, Bazibi's expression held a hint of disbelief.

Because Bazibi surprisingly discovered that the strong man had not deceived him; the opponent appeared to be the actual physical manifestation of Sōjun's Soul-Cutting Sword Bankai.

"What on earth is going on?!"

For a moment, Bazibi bellowed in unwillingness.

"I told you! You will no longer be able to use Sōjun's Bankai right away."

Just as Bazibi felt unwilling, Xiumu Yinling's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, his words carrying a hint of mockery.

"Damn it! Even without Bankai, I can defeat you!"

Hearing this, Bazibi's expression showed a hint of anger; he had already made a decision to use his flames to execute these death gods!

"Your words are impossible to carry out!"

Who would have thought, upon hearing Bazibi's words, Yinling's face showed no anger at all; he merely lifted his Soul-Cutting Sword slightly.

"What do you mean by that!!"

Bazibi looked at Yinling's action and asked doubtfully.

"You ask me what I mean?"

"Foolish! Of course I'm initiating Bankai~"

Yinling sighed helplessly after hearing Bazibi's words.

Yinling seemed to be mocking Bazibi's foolishness and ignorance!

"What? Bankai? You can use Bankai too?"

Upon hearing Yinling's words, Bazibi stared wide-eyed to himself.

"I've said it, I am the former captain of the Sixth Division!"

"Since I'm a former captain, being able to use Bankai is nothing surprising."

Yinling coldly questioned after hearing Bazibi's words.

"Tsk~"

Hearing this, Bazibi couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

As Yinling said, since Yinling was once the captain of the Sixth Division, being able to use Bankai is only natural!

Just as Bazibi wore an annoyed expression, his ear suddenly continued to hear Yinling's lecturing voice: "Now you Quincy can no longer use the Bankai you stole from us death gods! And we death gods can not only continue to use Bankai, but also fight alongside those Bankai you took from us..."

"So Quincy, boldly admit it! This battle is your loss!" Yinling said, pausing as he raised his Soul-Cutting Sword: "Let everything end here! Bankai..."

"Boom!!"

As Yinling's words fell, a soaring spiritual pressure suddenly burst forth from within him!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

Bazibi watched the uncontrollable Bankai belonging to Sōjun, and saw Yinling performing Bankai before him, which he could neither stop nor seize; his face showed a hint of ferocity, mixed with full unwillingness.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, this is a battlefield……

Nobody will pay attention to Bazubi's unwillingness!

In an instant, the situation that had been favorable to Bazubi was completely reversed due to Xiumu Xianghe's Final Release!

Aside from Bazubi,

Bangbi Aita, who snatched Komamura Sajin's Final Release, is also having a tough time right now!

"Damn! Damn! Damn……"

"Why did my Final Release suddenly go out of control?!"

Bangbi kept retreating, and the one relentlessly pursuing her from behind was none other than Komamura Sajin's Final Release, Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Bright King! At this moment, the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Bright King, under the command of a sturdy man resembling a warrior, slashed at her with one blade after another.

"How unlucky! Simply too unlucky!"

"I've never heard of the enemy's Final Release losing control like this?!"

Originally, Bangbi alone facing three captain-level Soul Reapers already felt immense pressure; now, with the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment Bright King's rebellion, Bangbi's situation has become even more tense and difficult~

"Sorry, little lady! You said something wrong!"

"This is not my Final Release losing control!"

"But rather, my Final Release has finally recognized its true heart!"

"Now I know who his true master is!"

Komamura Sajin watched as Bangbi was chased by the Heavenly Punishment Bright King, and spoke softly.

"Damn guy! Really pisses me off……"

After hearing Baicun's words, Bangbi angrily cursed while waving her pink fists, swearing she would never forgive the despicable Wangjiang who had framed her.

"A bad dog that bites its master will be thrown into the dog meat processing plant!!"

"Don't get angry!"

"Because from now on, it will be your time of despair!"

Since Xiumu Xianghe has taken action, it shows that General Huangmu can't stay seated any longer!

Komamura Sajin looked at Bangbi and continued speaking.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Isn't your General Huangmu currently fighting our BOSS and that Haswode guy?! Hasn't he already made a move?"

Bangbi looked at Komamura Sajin and asked doubtfully.

"No no no! Only General Huangmu had been dispatched just now……"

"But next, all the members of the First Division will also be deployed!"

Komamura Sajin looked at Bangbi and spoke calmly.

"Huh? You're saying the First Division's members are getting ready to deploy?!"

"Hahaha, you're killing me! Even with all twelve divisions deploying together, you still weren't able to defeat us Quincies, were you?!"

"Take a look around! The flames of war have spread throughout the Soul Society!!"

"In this situation, merely adding the fighting strength of one division—what's so impressive about that?!"

Bangbi looked at Komamura Sajin and retorted.

"Little lady, you should know that the First Division is different from the other divisions~"

"Just the fighting strength of the First Division alone surpasses the combined strength of all the other divisions in the Guardian Thirteen Divisions!"

Komamura Sajin looked at Bangbi and explained coldly.

"Heh! Most of the fighting strength of the Guardian Thirteen Divisions lies in your division captains and vice-captains! The other soldiers, whether you call them high-ranking officers or whatever, are just mere fodder!"

"Even if the First Division's fighting strength truly surpasses the combined strength of the ordinary soldiers of the other twelve divisions in the Soul Society, what does it change? Fodder is still fodder—no threat to our Star Cross Knights at all!"

After hearing Baicun's words, Bangbi spoke stubbornly.

"Little lady! Did I say that the First Division's fighting strength is only above the combined strength of the other divisions' ordinary soldiers?! Don't twist my meaning~"

Baicun, upon hearing this, revealed a ferocious smile.

Although Baicun's fluffy Shiba Inu face makes it hard to look fierce~

"What?!"

However, Bangbi is no longer calm at the moment. For, according to Baicun's words, doesn't that mean there is hidden captain-level fighting strength within the First Division?!

"Little lady, just as you thought!"

"Within the Guardian Thirteen Divisions, the strongest First Division actually has over twenty captain-level fighters!"

Baicun seemed to see through Bangbi's mind, laughing as he spoke.

"Don't try to intimidate me!"

"I will not feel fear because of your words!"

After hearing Baicun's words, Bangbi's pupils first contracted.

Immediately, Bangbi's face twisted, and she roared at Baicun.

"Am I or am I not intimidating you!"

"You'll find out soon enough~"

Baicun merely gave a light smile in response.

"Bangbi actually said he was intimidating?"

"Laughable, he was just stating the facts……"

At the same time.

Just as Baicun said.

After Xiumu Xianghe activated his ability, causing all the Bankai seized by the Quincies using the Star Seal to rebel, the other First Division unit captains who had been guarding Huangmu's side also took action at this moment~

Besides Saito Bu Lao Bu Si, who remained on guard beside Huang Mu, and Huang Mu's Unwithering Flower, the captains and vice-captains of the other seven detachments immediately led their respective units, over three hundred elite soldiers, and launched a great sweep throughout the entire Court of Pure Souls~

Near the barracks of the Second Detachment.

Because the Second Detachment had been sent by Huang Mu to guard the main gate, this place lost its ability to resist the enemy!

One saw a man wearing a mask and dressed like a wrestler easily defeat the Covert Mobile soldiers left guarding the Second Detachment, then he headed straight for the Worm's Nest deep within the Second Detachment~

"Following the mission given to me by Hasuowode!"

"I need to release all the criminals imprisoned in the Worm's Nest; only then will the entire Court of Pure Souls fall into internal chaos~"

The man's name is Ma Si Ke Duo Ma Si Ku Lin, a member of the Star Cross Knights, and the Holy Script he possesses is S (Great Star).

"Sir will surely be able to complete the mission!"

"Because Sir is the strongest!"

Behind Ma Si Ke, the person following him was his little lackey, and also an existence derived from his Holy Script ability, his loyal fan Zha Mu Si.

One can say Ma Si Ke and Zha Mu Si are a single existence; as long as one of the two survives, the other basically will not die! Furthermore, based on Zha Mu Si's support, Ma Si Ke's combat power can be stimulated, letting his strength increase even more~

At the same time, Ma Si Ke's strength, within the Star Cross Knights, is also at a medium-to-high level; even when simultaneously facing two or three average captain-level Soul Reapers, he can handle them with ease, even suppressing his opponents~

It is precisely because of Ma Si Ke's solid strength that Hasuowode would entrust him with the arduous task of invading the Second Detachment's barracks, taking advantage of the moment when no one was guarding, to completely destroy the Worm's Nest, release all the prisoners inside, and thereby throw the Court of Pure Souls into chaos~

"That's right! I am the strongest, because I am a super great star!"

After Ma Si Ke heard Zha Mu Si's words, his expression showed a hint of pride.

Consequently, Ma Si Ke's steps became much lighter.

"I can't just let you leave like that!"

Just as Ma Si Ke intended to continue forward, heading straight for the Worm's Nest~

A cold voice suddenly sounded beside Ma Si Ke.

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing it, Ma Si Ke turned his body and looked toward the newcomer.

One saw a man with jet-black long hair, an exceptionally handsome appearance, and an aristocratic aura emanating from his whole body, who had somehow appeared behind him!

Behind that aristocratic man were hundreds of people wearing black robes long enough to cover their feet, with hoods on their heads and masks on their faces, hiding their features.

"Huh?!"

Ma Si Ke looked at the scene before him, his expression slightly stunned.

Logically, there should be one or two experts lying in ambush here who could approach him silently, and he would not feel the slightest surprise at that~

But you say there are hundreds hidden here, enough to bypass his sensory nerves, which is really going too far, right?!

"Who are you?"

Nevertheless, Ma Si Ke coldly questioned the man before him.

"Captain of the Fifth Detachment of the First Division, Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye!"

The man with a stern expression and aristocratic bearing, after hearing Ma Si Ke's question, responded with an extremely calm demeanor.

"Captain? So you can also achieve Complete Release?!"

"No! No! Just now others already sent me a message; the Star Seal can no longer be used! That is to say, I cannot take Complete Release from your hands, which is really a pity~"

Ma Si Ke muttered to himself, seeming immersed in his own world.

"Dealing with you doesn't even require Complete Release~"

That man with a touch of aristocratic bearing was none other than Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye. After hearing Ma Si Ke's words, Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye's expression held contempt as he spoke coldly.

"Hah?! You say dealing with me doesn't need Complete Release?"

"Hahaha, you really love to boast!"

Upon hearing Zhi Cheng's words, Ma Si Ke burst out laughing loudly.

To be honest, Ma Si Ke has a hundred percent confidence in his own strength!

Ma Si Ke firmly believes that even if it is a captain-level Soul Reaper, after encountering him, without using Complete Release, they absolutely cannot defeat him!

"Rest assured! I will defeat you with Demon Arts~"

Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye said this, and the soldiers who had always stood behind him suddenly removed the masks on their cheeks and the black cloaks that concealed their figures, revealing their true appearances.

"What is this?!"

Upon seeing the true faces of these black-clothed soldiers, Ma Si Ke froze on the spot! Because each of these black-clothed soldiers looked exactly like Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye.

"In order to fight the Quincy that counter me, I deliberately learned the method of Incomplete Complete Release; although using Incomplete Complete Release means I cannot merge with the surrounding environment, fortunately I can fuse with the spirit remains prepared in advance by You Dong Ou Xu! This also saves me a lot of trouble, allowing me to go all out against you Quincy."

Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye looked at Ma Si Ke and softly explained his situation.

"I completely don't understand what you're saying……"

In response, Ma Si Ke spoke with an expression full of doubt.

"Can't you understand?"

"You will understand soon!"

Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye said this and directly raised his own hand.

At the moment Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye raised his hand, the spirit remains behind him also raised their hands, using their fingers to point at Ma Si Ke and Zha Mu Si in front.

"Huh?!"

Ma Si Ke looked at Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye's action, his expression slightly changed.

"Alright! Let's end this farce~"

"Also, just watch closely……"

"This next move has great power!"

"Way of Binding Ninety-Six: One Blade Cremation!"

Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye omitted the chanting step and directly activated the prepared Demon Arts!

Boom!

As the words of Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye fell...

Pointing his fingers at Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si's spiritual corpses, powerful spiritual pressure erupted from their bodies, and then their entire arms burst into blazing flames!

Boom!

In an instant, countless One Sword Cremations shot forth from these spiritual corpses' arms, attacking Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si!

No! Must enter Perfect Holy Body!

Seeing this, Ma Si Ke's face instantly paled, and he subconsciously entered the Perfect Holy Body form.

Hum!

With a bell chime, angelic wings instantly sprouted behind Ma Si Ke!

Unfortunately, the next second, Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si were struck by countless flames!

Boom!

With a thunderous roar that shook the entire Pure Soul Court!

A huge sun slowly rose from the ground, drifting toward the sky!

As for Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si, despite having exerted all their strength, even using the Perfect Holy Body, they still could not escape death's fate...

There's no way—whether Perfect Holy Body or Still Blood Gear, before hundreds of One Sword Cremations they are still too weak and insignificant! Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si, in this Ninety-sixth Demon Way, called Sacrificial Demon Way, are practically a forbidden‑technique level One Sword Cremation; before its immense destructive power, any resistance is meaningless, they turned to dust and vanished within the Second Division's barracks.

Of course, along with Ma Si Ke and Zhan Mu Si disappearing, half of the Second Division's barracks, completely reduced to spiritual particles by the tremendous impact of the One Sword Cremation, also vanished.

Good! So strong!

Truly worthy of being the Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye squad leader!

But your strength is truly strong...

But you went a bit overboard, didn't you?!

At this moment, Yin Cheng Kong Wu, vice-captain of the Fifth Division, gazing at the barracks reduced to ruins, cold sweat continually poured from his forehead. In fact, Yin Cheng Kong Wu still had something unsaid, that is...

Earlier we agreed that these enemies, the Quincy, each of their final strikes would be performed by me?! Isn't it said that by doing this I could absorb enough Quincy power?! This was blown to pieces by my captain, how am I supposed to absorb anything?!

Damn Quincy, they actually chose self‑destruction at the very end?

They actually destroyed the Second Division's barracks to this state!

As Yin Cheng Kong Wu's words fell...

After a moment, Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye furrowed his brows, angrily resenting the already deceased Ma Si Ke·Ma Si Ke Lin and Zhan Mu Si!

No no no, that was clearly the captain's doing~

For this, Yin Cheng Kong Wu waved his hand, muttering under his breath.

Cough cough~

Alright, let's move on to the next one!

Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye said, using Flash Step to appear beside Yin Cheng Kong Wu, speaking softly.

Okay captain, no problem captain, I got it captain!

For this, Yin Cheng Kong Wu unleashed his ultimate skill, Flattery Triple~

Aside from those lacking eyesight and unaware of their own strength—Jerome Kizubart (R), Najakup (U), Berenik (Q), Dorisuk (O), Robert (N), Es Nott (F)—and aside from Ma Si Ke, holder of the Holy Text (S) of the Star Cross Knights, who also fell on the battlefield~

Thus, in Pure Soul Court, the number of fallen knights has already reached seven!

At the same time, as the echo

What's happening over there?!

Not far from the Second Division's barracks...

Wearing a mask, his whole body looking like a robot, Bi Jie Nai Yin gazed at the suddenly erupting violent flames of the Second Division's barracks, his eyes showing a hint of puzzlement.

Are you the invader of Pure Soul Court?

Just as Bi Jie Nai Yin was about to head to the Second Division to investigate...

A voice icy beyond compare suddenly rang out from behind Bi Jie Nai Yin.

Huh?!

Bi Jie Nai Yin, hearing this, instantly turned around to look.

Seen was a man with disheveled hair, over two meters tall like a brown bear, wearing the insignia of the First Division on his cloak and displaying "Fourth Division" on his back, a man in a white haori silently observing him.

Captain?!

Bi Jie Nai Yin, looking at the man's white haori, asked doubtfully.

He is a subunit leader under the First Division.

The man looked at Bi Jie Nai Yin and explained.

Name!

Bi Jie Nai Yin, hearing this, asked the man.

I? I am called Ku Wu Shi!

For this, the wild, unrestrained man like a beast announced his name to Bi Jie Nai Yin.

Got it! Die!

Bi Jie Nai Yin, hearing this, the tentacles hidden beneath his White Knight uniform of the Star Cross instantly turned into razor‑sharp blades, thrusting toward Ku Wu Shi!

Sorry! I can't pull off a flashy move like Zhi Cheng Shuang Ye~

At the moment Ku Wu Shi said that, he had already drawn his Soul-Cutting Sword from his waist.

The only ability I can call somewhat flashy is too powerful for me to fully control, so the Forty‑Six Room has ordered that I absolutely must not use it in Pure Soul Court!

And as Ku Wu Shi finished speaking, he had already swung his gleaming Soul-Cutting Sword, cutting off all of Bi Jie Nai Yin's tentacles aimed at him, and step by step approached Bi Jie Nai Yin, pointing the blade at his neck.

So! You can only be defeated by my ordinary swordsmanship!

Kuwuyashiki (person), who? Actually, "At the moment he spoke these words in the Kuwuyashiki" — is Kuwuyashiki the subject? Actually, "He spoke these words in the Kuwuyashiki" means "At the moment he spoke these words in the Kuwuyashiki residence?" Wait, "Kuwuyashiki" could be a place? Actually, "Kuwuyashiki" might be a mansion name (like a residence). The phrase "At the moment he spoke these words in the Kuwuyashiki" could be "At the moment he spoke these words in the Kuwuyashiki Residence". So Kuwuyashiki might be a place (a residence). However later, "He already had a look of pity, and swung his knife at Bijiena's neck." The "he" refers to someone (maybe the speaker). The subject is ambiguous. But "Kuwuyashiki" appears as a location. However later lines: "Kuwuyashiki slowly sheathed his Zanpakuto." So Kuwuyashiki is the one who sheathes the sword, thus a person. So Kuwuyashiki is a person (maybe a swordsman). So treat as person.

- Bijiena (person) - likely a name.

just apology.

When Ku Wu Shi's apology fell, Bi Jie Nai Yin's head had already landed on the ground, and it kept rolling on the ground for ten-odd circles.

sound effect.

At the same time, Ku Wu Shi slowly put away his Soul-Cutting Sword.

sound.

Immediately after, Bi Jie Nai Yin, who had not yet realized that his own head had fallen and was still standing in place, instantly turned into countless fragments that scattered all over the ground~

Star Cross Knights (organization/faction) - "Star Cross Knights". This is a faction name. It should be translated by meaning, not romanized, so we translate it as "Star Cross Knights".

Thus for Star Cross Knights, we will translate to "Star Cross Knights". We'll include that in the glossary.

just praise.

Axiduo, Wuzhu, Gongneng siblings, Zhusibo Zhengyuan.

- Axiduo: person name? Likely a person.

- Wuzhu: person name? Could be a nickname meaning "Five Help"? But likely a name. We'll treat as person.

- Gongneng siblings: "Miyano siblings"? Actually Gongneng brother and sister. This is a reference to two siblings; but it's a descriptor, not a name. However Gongneng could be a surname? Actually Gongneng is a surname? Might be a family name. "Gongneng siblings" means "the Gongneng siblings". So the name is Gongneng as surname, and they are siblings. We'll treat Gongneng as a person name (maybe referring to both). We'll need to list the name Gongneng as a person? But it's used as a reference to the siblings. We'll treat Gongneng as a name (maybe a family name). We'll romanize.

- Zhusibo Zhengyuan: person name.

just speech.

Kuwuyashiki again, Five Heavenly Kings - a title/rank? "Five Heavenly Kings" likely a group title: "Five Heavenly Kings". This is a faction/title. Should we translate? It's a meaningful term: "Five Heavenly Kings". We'll translate.

just "the other side……"

First Division - a rank/title within an organization. "First Division" = "First Division". This is an official/sect rank/title. Should translate? It's a meaningful term: "First Division". We'll translate.

- Gekuang (person name) - likely a person.

- Daoyugen Awula (person name) - maybe a full name: surname Daoyugen? Given name Awula? We'll treat as person.

"Ah, sorry! I made your attacks ineffective~"

The newcomer had a messy head of long hair, dazed eyes not knowing where they were looking, sticking out two tongues when speaking, and constantly trembling.

When Ge Kuang and A Wula saw this person before them, they attacked without any hesitation, yet neither hidden weapons nor ghostly ways could harm a single hair of this guy.

Immediately, without waiting for Ge Kuang and A Wula to strike again, the guy with a head of dirty long hair and two tongues sticking out began to speak on his own.

speech.

"My ability can distort any attack!"

"So you guys shouldn't waste your effort, because it's meaningless~"

This weird guy's voice trailed off here.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet~"

Niangsuo-Huaso (person name) - note the middle dot indicates maybe a foreign name. We'll treat as person.

Also "Star Cross Knights" again.

Ni Ang Suo, talking to himself, looked at Ge Kuang and A Wula and said.

"How? Is what I said not clear enough?"

"Sorry! People often say I don't speak clearly enough~"

"But I clearly already have two tongues, yet it seems I still need more~"

"Do you think what I'm saying is right?!"

Ni Ang Suo, chattering on, looked at A Wula and Ge Kuang and said.

speech (ellipsis).

In response, both A Wula and Ge Kuang remained silent.

speech.

Ni Ang Suo looked at A Wula and Ge Kuang, puzzled, and asked.

"No! What you just said was already quite clear~"

"So I am currently looking for a way to counter your ability~"

Upon hearing that, A Wula, smiling, said to Ni Ang Suo.

"A way to counter it? There's simply no such thing……"

"You two had better just give up!"

"By the way, I'm not really interested in you two~"

"So we can just ignore each other~"

Ni Ang Suo seemed to have no intention of fighting A Wula and Ge Kuang, his expression showing a touch of laziness and fatigue.

"How? Could it be that what I said is still not clear enough?"

"Ah, this really is one of my bad habits~"

Ni Ang Suo looked at the slow-to-speak A Wula and Ge Kuang, and asked doubtfully.

"I've said it, what you said is already very clear!"

"By the way, we really have one thing we must apologize to you for~"

"Because you spoke too late! We've already launched an attack on you~"

Awula again.

Niangsuo again.

Ni Ang Suo looked at A Wula and asked doubtfully.

Awula again.

Awula again.

"Useless! Anything that gets near me will be distorted!"

Ni Ang Suo, full of confidence, said to A Wula.

"Is that so? But the floor under your feet isn't distorted~"

Upon hearing that, A Wula pointed to the floor under Ni Ang Suo's feet.

Niangsuo again.

After hearing A Wula's words, Ni Ang Suo's expression changed slightly.

"Breaking Path Ninety-Nine: Five Dragons Revolving Annihilation!"

Awula had no idle talk, directly unleashing Five Dragons Revolving Extinction!

Boom!!

As Awula's words fell, a huge divine dragon suddenly rose from beneath Niangsuo's feet, lunging to devour Niangsuo!

Ha!

Facing Awula's Five Dragons Revolving Extinction attack, Niangsuo, despite having made all preparations, successfully deflected the damage from the attack, yet could not stop the curse attack brought by Five Dragons Revolving Extinction.

Cough cough……

In an instant, Niangsuo spat blood and collapsed onto the ground.

Boom!

In response, Awula merely gave a light smile, then spoke with an icy expression.

The Five Dragons Revolving Extinction just now was merely a means to draw Niangsuo's attention; the true means of attacking Niangsuo was her using the Five Dragons Revolving Extinction to infiltrate his body with Breaking the Way!

As Awula's words fell, Niangsuo's upper body instantly exploded, and shortly after, Niangsuo lay helpless on the ground.

Next one~

After Awula dealt with Niangsuo, her gaze turned toward the distance.

Good~

Gekuang listened to Awula's words, then smiled and nodded.

At this moment, the way Awula and Gekuang interacted seemed as if Awula were the captain of the Third Squad of the First Division~

Of course, Gekuang himself didn't care about power or anything like that~

In an instant, another member of the Star Cross Knights fell!

In the sky~

After Muxianghe employed Complete Release, thoroughly disrupting all Quincies of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads by using the Star Seal to capture the Complete Release!

In an instant, the Quincies' advantage vanished completely! Moreover, the false Yoha (Y Younger Brother) and Hasuowode were held back by Huangmu and Yuanliuzhai! Yoha's four personal guards collectively broke their defenses and were forced to fight those who had the attribute advantage over them— the entire Star Cross Knights' Quincies were now at a disadvantage at this moment~

Meanwhile, Huangmu seized the moment to unleash the madmen of the First Division!

In an instant, the Star Cross Knights' members could barely hold on~ At this critical moment, the Star Cross Knights' members, in order to survive, released their personal guard units and the Holy Soldiers, to battle the First Division's troops~

Damn it, we can only summon the Holy Soldiers!

As the Star Cross Knights' members' words faded……

One after another, pitch-black shadows covered the battlefield of the Pure Spirit Court~

Soon, squad after squad of white-robed, masked Holy Soldiers—the Quincies' special forces—streamed out of the shadow passages, beginning to cleanse the entire battlefield as planned~

However, what appeared before these Holy Soldiers was not the Thirteen Court Guard Squads they imagined, thoroughly ravaged by the Star Cross Knights' members, but rather individuals pumped up with adrenaline, wielding sharp slaughter knives—the troops of the First Division.

Don't let them go!

The troops of each squad of the First Division, gripping their released Soul-Cutting Swords, shouted loudly! Then they charged straight at these Holy Soldiers before them~

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Accompanied by silver blade light, one Holy Soldier after another fell upon the battlefield!

Ah!!

Piercing screams, desperate cries of flight, and the explosions of flames, like a symphony, continually echoed within the Pure Spirit Court~

The battlefield was like a meat grinder turned to maximum power, from time to time Quincies' corpses were tossed aside and hacked into countless minced meat by random blades~

Meanwhile……

The battle between Y Younger Brother and Yuanliuzhai also erupted fully at this moment!

Youhabah! Those Quincies you brought seem destined to lose once again to our Thirteen Court Guard Squads—what do you think about that?!

Yuanliuzhai gripped the blazing Flowing Blade Like Fire and inquired of Y Younger Brother.

Hehe! Ridiculous……

Those trash, let them die if they die!

As long as I take you down here, and also Huangmu!

This vast Pure Spirit Court will still be mine!

On the contrary, even if those trash are well protected by you, after I defeat you and Huangmu, they will all die at my hands!

Y Younger Brother looked at Yuanliuzhai and spoke coldly.

Then let me see! Do you have this ability!

Yuanliuzhai said, without any hesitation, directly raising his Soul-Cutting Sword in hand.

Complete Release! Remaining Fire Long Sword!

As Yuanliuzhai's words fell, the endless flames emanating from the Flowing Blade Like Fire that surrounded him and Y Younger Brother vanished instantly! In their place was a small, pitch-black warrior's sword in Yuanliuzhai's hand, emitting a scorching heat.

The flames disappeared?!

Y Younger Brother looked at the scene before him and spoke doubtfully.

Yuanliuzhai's Complete Release is obviously completely different from Yoha's memory from a thousand years ago~

In fact, what makes Yoha feel doubtful is still to come~

After all, this is not Yuanliuzhai's true Complete Release; after his promotion to the Zero Division, his Complete Release cannot be casually activated~

It is merely the power of Yuanliuzhai's half-Complete Release, but even though it is only half-Complete Release, its strength is already on par with his Complete Release before his promotion to the Zero Division!

You say it disappeared? No, the flames are right here……

Yuanliuzhai said, gripping the sword with one hand, and charged toward Yoha.

This false Yoha before him is not yet worthy of wielding a sword with both hands or using swordsmanship!

Hehe~

Meanwhile, Huangmu lightly smiled at the scene before him. At this moment, the true Huangmu guarding the First Division's barracks likewise showed a subtle expression~

Huang Mu wondered, when Bai Zai saw Yuan Liu Zhai's Remaining Fire Great Sword, would he also, just as he said to Ichigo Kurosaki in the original work, question Yuan Liu Zhai: "How can there be such a small Bankai in this world?!"
