Chapter 500: The Influence of the Kotsutotsu, Timeline Disruption

Seeing this strike from Zaraki Kenpachi, Yachiru also became excited.

"Handsome Ryoka big brother, the power of Ken-chan's sword is equivalent to the lieutenant level, you'd better dodge carefully."

The implication was that she also felt Senju Xingye could not withstand such a strike.

Facing such a strike from Zaraki Kenpachi, Senju Xingye was somewhat disdainful.

"Captain Zaraki, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Why do you think I refuse to fight you?"

"Could it be because I'm afraid of this soft strike of yours?"

"Heh, let me tell you, if you don't bring out your real strength, an attack like yours won't even be able to break my defense."

In the eyes of the crowd, Zaraki Kenpachi's strike landed directly on Senju Xingye's face.

However, a magical scene occurred.

Just as the Zanpakutō was about to hack into Senju Xingye, it stopped right at his face.

No matter how much force Zaraki Kenpachi exerted, he still couldn't hack down.

Senju Xingye calmly looked at the Zanpakutō in front of him; that incomparably sharp blade was right in front of his face.

At such a close distance, he could even clearly smell a thick, bloody scent.

This was the aura of slaughter accumulated after Zaraki Kenpachi had killed countless people.

In the shocked eyes of the crowd, Zaraki Kenpachi leaped backward.

He had actually taken the initiative to open up the distance.

"Did I see that right!"

"This Ryoka stood still and actually repelled Captain Zaraki?"

"This isn't scientific!"

"You have to know that Zaraki Kenpachi is the captain of the combat division, and his strength is definitely among the top of all captains."

"A captain of such a level actually can't hack a young Ryoka?"

The Shinigami of the Seireitei discussed it heatedly, even doubting whether Zaraki Kenpachi could be considered the strongest Kenpachi in history.

Senju Xingye looked at Zaraki Kenpachi, who had taken the initiative to open up the distance, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Why open up the distance from me?"

"Or rather, did you sense danger, and that's why you felt you had to open up the distance from me?"

"As far as I know, Zaraki Kenpachi, as the captain of the 11th Division, never seems to dodge an enemy's attack, always taking pleasure in hacking at each other."

"What? How did you learn to open up the distance today?"

Zaraki Kenpachi was left speechless by the question.

"Tch, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control my strength, and if I accidentally hacked you to death in a moment of urgency, wouldn't my toy be completely ruined?"

"You have to know that the Seireitei hasn't had a Ryoka invasion for many years, and I didn't want to end the battle because of my own carelessness."

Upon hearing this, Senju Xingye nodded: "You mean to say that the reason you opened up the distance was actually because you were afraid of hurting me?"

Although he felt very speechless about Zaraki Kenpachi's logic, Senju Xingye noticed one point.

If he hadn't heard wrong, the meaning of the sentence Zaraki Kenpachi just said seemed to imply that he was the only Ryoka in many years.

Then what about Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryū?

It was truly terrifying to think about.

It seemed that when he traveled this time, there was a big problem with the timeline.

He had actually traveled to the timeline before Kurosaki Ichigo infiltrated the Seireitei.

This was not the same as the time coordinates he had set at the time.

After a brief moment of confusion, Senju Xingye quickly understood the current situation. ===== CHAPTER 504 =====
