Chapter 16 Sneak Attack on Yamamoto
Yes, a Shinigami will leave a trace when it kills a God, but if a Hollow kills a God, it will choose to devour him.
But it's impossible for a virtual character to commit crimes on such a large scale.
Not only the Soul Society, but also the more than twenty wards of the Rukongai, and they specifically choose to devour Shinigami. This efficiency is something that one or two Hollows cannot achieve.
But if there are many fakes, they can't possibly be completely unaware.
That's what's really strange.
Yamamoto suddenly remembered what the monk had said earlier.
Is an unknown evil force approaching...?
"If you find any leads on this matter, please be sure to notify me," Yamamoto said in a deep voice.
"I'll handle it."
"Hmm?" Shihouin Senhi was also somewhat surprised, and joked:
"Seriously? There's no need for you to bother with such a small matter. You should focus your energy on building the Gotei 13."
Yamamoto shook his head, not repeating what the monk had said earlier.
He didn't know if the monk had told the five noble families about the evil power, but at least he was someone who could keep secrets.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
He and Shihouin Senhisa discussed things from the afternoon until dusk.
When the conversation came to an end, Yamamoto stood up, politely declined the host's invitation to stay for dinner, and took his leave.
As I stepped out of the imposing gates of the Shihōin family mansion, the sky had darkened considerably, with leaden clouds hanging low, swallowing up the last rays of sunlight.
He still needs to go to the Kuchiki family to ask for their opinion.
The Kuchiki family mansion was also located on this noble street. Rather, it was precisely because the Kuchiki family was situated here that it attracted more and more nobles to this area, which eventually led to the formation of the noble street.
The two leading families in this region are the Kuchiki family and the Tsunayo family. Centered around them, a large number of nobles have gathered on their side.
It is also the most powerful force in the Soul Society today.
In this era, the Soul Society was rarely visited after nightfall.
Darkness is the best cover for intrigue and blades. No one wants to be inexplicably caught up in a bloody conflict caused by a nobleman's private feud while taking a walk, and become a cold corpse.
But Yamamoto was not worried about that at all. He simply walked along the dimly lit street toward the Kuchiki family.
He walked alone on the empty, dimly lit street, the sound of his wooden clogs striking the stone slabs clearly audible, echoing between the high walls on both sides.
The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, with only a few scattered oil lamp lights shining through the cracks in doors and windows in the distance, outlining the blurry and silent contours of the street.
The air was slightly cool, carrying the tranquility unique to the night and... a subtle, almost imperceptible stillness.
Yamamoto walked steadily, his breathing even and deep.
However, just as he turned a corner, he suddenly stopped without warning.
He stood in the middle of the street, motionless.
The surrounding area was filled with slowly creeping, dim shadows, and the tightly closed vermilion gates and towering courtyard walls on both sides exuded a cold and hard aura.
This absolute silence and sense of isolation is enough to make ordinary people feel uneasy.
But Yamamoto merely narrowed his eyes slightly; in the darkness, his eyes seemed to hold two faint flames burning silently.
Yamamoto sneered, "Aren't you going to come out here?"
He roared in a deep voice, and the next moment he drew his knife!
"All things in the universe, reduced to ashes, flow like a blazing fire!"
He immediately freed his Zanpakuto!
Boom!
The strongest and oldest Zanpakuto of the fire element was unsealed at this moment. The blazing flames instantly dispelled the darkness and cold, and powerful spiritual energy erupted, slashing directly forward!
The clouds above seemed to have been evaporated by the scorching heat, revealing the bright moonlight!
As if it were burning the heavens and earth to ashes, the wave of fire instantly engulfed the wall in front of it, and even the two buildings in front of it!
The air was heated and distorted at that moment, crackling and popping!
The entire street was engulfed in flames, and Death, perhaps still asleep in the house ahead, was consumed by the scorching fire that descended!
This is Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's fighting style!
He would stop at nothing to kill the enemy!
And that enemy was hiding in the building behind!
That nauseating murderous aura, even if it was tried to be hidden, how could it possibly conceal itself from this infamous sword demon?!
With a loud bang, the explosive flames were blasted away by a powerful spiritual force!
Amidst the scattered, blazing firelight, a masked black figure appeared and disappeared.
He appears to be a humanoid being, wearing what looks like a Hollow mask on his face, but he wields a Zanpakuto, a weapon typically possessed by Shinigami (death gods).
That Zanpakuto was completely black, and with a single swing, it even shattered the explosive flames released by Yamamoto!
"Who goes there?!"
With a roar, Yamamoto gave his opponent no chance to breathe. He used his Instant Step to create a sonic boom, and his figure transformed into a crimson meteor, engulfed in flames, rushing straight towards the dark figure!
boom!
The shadowy figure bore burn marks, yet he still swung his blade. The black blade collided with the flaming blade, instantly unleashing an even stronger clash of spiritual energy.
This time it was a real close-quarters battle!
An even more terrifying spiritual pressure conflict erupted!
The ground at the center of the collision suddenly sank and cracked, and a molten, crimson color spread wildly in all directions!
The surrounding temperature soared dramatically, and the air rippled with distortion due to the intense heat. Buildings in the distance that were not directly impacted began to smoke and burn!
The next moment, the dark figure was slashed away by this terrifying force, crashing into the half of the remaining wall behind it that was not yet completely melted, stirring up a cloud of dust!
But Yamamoto did not let his opponent off the hook, and immediately unleashed another burst of flames.
Boom!
The blazing flames pursued relentlessly, even faster than the black shadow flying backward, catching up with him in an instant and enveloping him!
With a deafening roar, a massive cloud of flame shot into the sky!
The dark figure rapidly retreated from the pillar of fire, his body covered in burn marks, his clothes tattered. He was panting heavily, his eyes, visible through the mask, filled with shock.
He started running again!
"stop!"
Seeing that he was still trying to run, Yamamoto shouted again and used Shunpo to rush forward.
But the shadowy figure's Instant Step was also very skillful, especially for a moment when his body seemed to become ethereal and thin!
Yamamoto swung his sword again, this time he was close to his opponent, and slashed hard at the faint figure!
boom!
Then came the sound of something shattering, and the figure in front of me turned pale red, as if it had transformed into a hazy moonlight.
The moonlight shattered instantly, turning into fragments of red phosphorus that disappeared on the spot, only to recombine in the distance and reassemble into the shape of that dark shadow!
