Kenpachi Kiganjo swept his sword, and the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing a charming and handsome figure.
His black long hair danced in the wind, his blood-stained Death robes rustled, and he held a masked head in his hand, exuding a strange blend of composure and madness.
In Ichimaru Gin's eyes, it was as if he saw a dark, pitch-black sun again, making him unable to help but look up.
"Aozaki Reiji…" Kenpachi Kiganjo recognized the newcomer.
He narrowed his eyes, his expression turning cold.
He knew the opponent's strength and put away his playful thoughts.
This was the only person among those present who was worthy of being called his opponent.
He exerted force in his hand, and the huge Zanpakuto swept across, sending sparks flying.
At the same time, a petite figure in Onmitsukidō attire appeared beside him.
The latter retreated by jumping backward, holding a short blade.
Swish!!
Seeing this scene, several rebels nearby first froze, then grinned ferociously, raising their Zanpakuto and charging over, their gleaming blades emitting a cold light aimed at Aozaki Reiji.
Tsk!!
Aozaki Reiji casually swung his sword, and a blue crescent moon shot out from the blade, followed by the sound of swords breaking, and three bloody heads flew high into the air.
"Aozaki Reiji… you little mouse, always hiding…"
Kenpachi Kiganjo squinted, examining the young Third Seat of the Second Division before him, a mocking sneer playing on his lips.
"The Reiatsu of those useless people is almost imperceptible; you did it, didn't you?"
"That junior who could only hide behind Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and peek at us has now grown into a great figure capable of standing on his own."
"You're really something; Yamamoto, that old man, would be happy to see this."
Aozaki Reiji didn't answer, glancing at the Second Division Squad members lying on the ground; some had no signs of life, while others still had detectable Reiatsu.
"Given what you've done, it seems I can't just lock you in a cell," Aozaki Reiji said.
"What did you say?" Kenpachi Kiganjo froze, then burst into laughter, "Haha!! Hahahahaha!! Are you trying to make me laugh?"
"What can a brat like you do?"
"I am a Captain of the Gotei 13, unlike those useless people who only vent Reiatsu and swing their swords wildly."
"You still don't know what it takes to become a Captain of the Eleventh Division, do you?"
"You have to defeat the previous Captain, and I became Kenpachi after killing Kenpachi Gosuke."
"Do you understand who you're facing now, brat?"
"I'm not those useless people you've encountered before, but a Captain who has killed a Captain!"
"Your killing of Kenpachi Gosuke is your business, but your death here is my business; I have never gone back on my word!"
Aozaki Reiji said expressionlessly, looking at the nervous girl beside him, and slightly tilted his head.
The moment his words fell, Aozaki Reiji raised his sword and charged.
The black-haired girl's figure vanished from the spot, and even Ichimaru Gin behind her was gone without a trace.
Not far away, Kenpachi Kiganjo's pupils contracted, and for a moment, he even forgot to counterattack.
Is this brat truly a person with a spirit of dedication and fearlessness?
Last time, he covered his subordinates' retreat and faced Rentaro Kumomi alone; this time, he stayed to stop him again.
Aozaki Reiji's speed was extreme, and two rebels hiding in the dark, unsure of what to do, were instantly beheaded.
But his blade had not stopped.
Under the horrified gazes of the Second Division Squad members… Shinra Bansho was caught bare-handed by Kenpachi Kiganjo.
Aozaki Reiji was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood the reason by looking at the opponent's Zanpakuto and palm.
If he wasn't mistaken, Kenpachi Kiganjo's Zanpakuto should be related to rock-like substances.
Pffft!!
The sound of blood spraying out after the Zanpakuto cut off the palm echoed in everyone's ears.
The severed half of the palm fell in mid-air, and the "armor" covering the palm instantly shattered into dust, with tiny yellow particles scattered by the breeze.
Kenpachi Kiganjo's pupils contracted.
A layer of rock film re-covered his palm, and at the same time, his severed limb quickly extended to connect with the falling palm.
The broken palm was forcefully reassembled by the rock film, but looking at its motionless state, it should no longer pose a threat.
Looking at the barely reassembled palm, Kenpachi Kiganjo's shock remained undiminished.
He had read Takasugi Hirofumi's "confession" and knew that Aozaki Reiji's Zanpakuto was extremely sharp.
But he considered his Reiatsu stronger than Takasugi Hirofumi and Rentaro Kumomi, and his Zanpakuto possessed defensive capabilities, so he didn't take the sharp Shinra Bansho seriously.
His Zanpakuto was renowned for its defensive power.
In the Gotei 13, if it claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.
Now, with his palm covered in armor, it was cut off so easily.
The opponent's Reiatsu was a level lower than his, and no matter how sharp the Zanpakuto, it shouldn't treat his defense like paper.
What was the reason…
Aozaki Reiji raised his "Shinra Bansho: Forgetful Soul Bird" towards Kenpachi Kiganjo, a cold light flashed, and he struck again.
Kenpachi Kiganjo swung his Zanpakuto, like a horse-slaying blade, to block in front of him, barely deflecting the attack, and feeling the pain from his severed palm, he exclaimed:
"Your Reiatsu…"
As he spoke, his hand sank, preventing his Zanpakuto from being cut off by the opponent as well.
"Just Captain-class," Aozaki Reiji smiled calmly, no longer hiding his Reiatsu, and powerful spiritual energy swept through the Maggot's Nest.
Third-grade spiritual power!
For a moment, the Maggot's Nest fell into a death-like silence.
Not only Kenpachi Kiganjo, but everyone still alive present, including Soi Fon who had returned to rescue the injured, widened their eyes.
"Don't joke around!"
Kenpachi Kiganjo snorted coldly, then a sneer appeared on his lips, and he swung the huge horse-slaying blade in his hand, bringing a gust of sword wind with it.
He dared not believe that Aozaki Reiji's Reiatsu level had reached third-grade spiritual power, or rather, he couldn't believe it.
Such a thing was too shocking and could easily affect his state of mind.
How old was he? How could he? What right did he have? What did his hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation amount to?
As long as he felt Aozaki Reiji's Reiatsu, he couldn't help but think about these questions.
These questions irritated him, so he couldn't, and wouldn't, think about them.
Aozaki Reiji wore a smile, his Reiatsu uninhibited, and he swung Shinra Bansho, fending off Kenpachi Kiganjo's attacks.
Originally, he hid his Reiatsu to catch his opponents off guard during battle.
But after cutting off Kenpachi Kiganjo's palm, he must have roughly sensed his Reiatsu from the Zanpakuto.
Since that was the case, there was no need to hide his Reiatsu anymore; letting it surge out freely and wildly could also create psychological pressure for the opponent.
Shinra Bansho and the horse-slaying blade clashed rapidly, sword lights flashed continuously, and the figures of the two flickered in and out of sight within the Maggot's Nest, dazzling the eyes.
Feeling the force transmitted to his hand, Kenpachi Kiganjo's expression slightly changed.
Aozaki Reiji beckoned with his finger, gradually becoming excited.
The Captains of the Gotei 13 are indeed stronger than the pets raised by nobles!
