"It seems they really think of me highly."
Tokikaze sighed, "There must be more than thirty Zanpakutō here, right?"
A heavy Reiatsu enveloped the surroundings, and the air became even heavier. Nearby Soul Reaper suddenly knelt due to the pressures.
The various figures surrounding him all shared a common trait.
Ill intentions.
Under Murasame's influence, the rebellious Zanpakutō's desires were amplified. However, due to their separation from the Soul Reaper, their powers also experienced a certain degree of decline.
There were only a few cases like Soi-Fon, whose Zanpakutō almost crushed her and nearly cost her life.
Nevertheless, with dozens of Zanpakutō combined, it was still a force to be reckoned with.
Tokikaze even sensed familiar Reiatsu among these figures.
Shinso, Engetsu, Minazuki, and Gonryomaru...
Their masters should be rushing to the scene.
Due to the chaotic Reiatsu, the communication devices couldn't be used.
But the Captains should have determined the exact location when the Reiatsu appeared.
"Burn!"
A low growl echoed from the Zanpakuto crowd. A crescent-shaped flame sword tore through the air, aiming for Tokikaze's position.
This action signaled the start of the attack.
Countless attacks immediately locked onto Tokikaze.
The surrounding air even distorted because of it, forming complex and erratic patterns.
Boom!
The violent energy engulfed Tokikaze, and the core Reiatsu also disappeared in an instant, as if erased.
The next moment, Tokikaze appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield, shaking his head in amazement at the scene in the distance. "Did I activate an area taunting skill?"
"Why are they all attacking at once?"
"Do these guys have something against me?"
Before he could finish speaking, Reiatsu erupted from the nearby shadows, a huge fireball condensed and flew out, scorching heat cutting through the sky.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō."
Without looking back, Tokikaze conjured an Enkosen behind him, timely blocking the fireball.
Boom!
With a huge explosion, the shockwave spread, the fragile ground erupted like tofu, and a large amount of soil rose into the sky, forming a huge ravine around Tokikaze in an instant.
A figure holding a standard Zanpakutō slowly walked out from the distance.
Dressed in tattered Soul Reaper robes, hard muscles seemed like they were cast from metal. A red wind scarf wrapped around the neck, and black short hair symbolized noble status.
Tokikaze's eyes narrowed as he recognized the sudden appearance of the enemy.
"Kuchiki Clan's son-in-law?"
With unhidden killing intent and resentment in his eyes, Kuchiki Koga's expression and body froze at the same time when he heard this embarrassing title, as if he had been paused.
Although he did indeed receive the Kuchiki surname because he married into the Kuchiki Clan, he also couldn't escape his current situation because of his relationship with the Kuchiki Clan.
The air fell silent for a while.
Kuchiki Koga's eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent and resentment, his expression ferocious, shattering the silence:
"To see these millennia-old buildings turned into ruins, what kind of feelings does that evoke?"
"The wails of the Soul Reapers and the nobles. Have you ever experienced the feelings I had back then?"
"To devote one's heart and soul into everything, only to have it ruthlessly destroyed by others, what a tragedy!"
He noticed the star-shaped hair clip near Tokikaze's ear and instinctively thought that the person in front of him was a member of the Kuchiki Clan.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy to see this scene."
Tokikaze denied, "Some time ago, during the rebellion, we all believed that the Kuchiki and Shihōin Clans were behind it."
"Now it's the Kuchiki Clan suffering heavy losses, and I'm genuinely delighted."
The destruction of the Kuchiki Clan mansion had nothing to do with Tsunayashiro Clan.
Let them wail all they want. Tokikaze expressed that he could even have three bowls of rice while watching this scene.
Kuchiki Koga's expression stiffened again, feeling that things were not going well.
He had finally broken through from his seal, causing such a huge sensation, dragging half of the Soul Society into the flames of war, and even destroying most of the Kuchiki Clan mansion.
Just when he was about to achieve great success, he encountered someone who looked like member of the Kuchiki Clan, and he said he was not a member of the Kuchiki Clan?
The ruins in front of you not only fail to evoke your sympathy but you're applauding from the sidelines?
Kuchiki Koga felt somewhat estranged from the Soul Society after being sealed for hundreds of years.
During the factional struggles back then, those Captains were all cunning and treacherous, outwitting each other just to gain a small advantage.
In order to make their faction victorious, they didn't hesitate to sacrifice subordinates and then frame and sabotage each other.
Now, the Captains seemed like they were just having fun.
Thinking of this, Kuchiki Koga's expression twisted again, complemented by the iron clamp on his face, making him look like a ferocious demon:
"Whether you're happy or not, it's time for me to pay back the Soul Society and Kuchiki Clan for everything they did to me back then!"
"Revenge is eternal!"
As he spoke, he raised the standard Zanpakutō in his hand high, and all the Reiatsu surged on it, a faint purple light radiating from the blade.
"You'll soon know how big a mistake it is to use a Zanpakutō recklessly in front of me!"
"And you'll pay a painful price for it!"
"Whisper, Muramasa!"
The faint purple light turned into a ring, spreading out on the blade. Its speed even surpassed Tokikaze's reaction time.
However, the red light passed over Tokikaze, and nothing happened.
The scene fell silent for a while.
Kuchiki Koga looked puzzled and subconsciously looked at his Zanpakutō. "What's going on?"
He had clearly activated his ability just now, so why didn't the opponent's Zanpakutō rebel?
He knew very well that his Zanpakutō, Muramasa, was the nemesis of all Soul Reaper.
As long as a Soul Reaper had a Zanpakutō and didn't seal their inner world, they would have no means to fight back against him.
Just Muramasa's Shikai ability alone could control the arms of the Zanpakutō's wielder to kill themselves or their comrades.
But the opponent clearly showed no signs of sealing their inner world, and they hadn't even released their Reiatsu defense. How could Muramasa's ability fail on him?!
Kuchiki Koga began to doubt his life.
