Tokikaze gazed at the intense Reiatsu in the distance, concealing a hint of disdain.
Despite the mockery and contempt that Tokinada expressed, it was meaningless if he didn't do anything.
The Reiatsu surged, creating visible ripples that spread in all directions, causing branches to sway and dust to rise as a fierce wind blew through the forest.
When Tokinada completely exposed his ambitions, he had lost his chance to realize his plan.
Due to his anger, he could even unleash 120% of his power at this moment.
"Tokikaze, I would make a better heir than you!"
"Die!"
The resentment couldn't be concealed from Tokinada's face, and his malicious smile became creepier as the concentrated Reiatsu surged around him.
"Hado #63: Sajo Sabaku!"
Vast Reiatsu surged like an ocean, instantly forming golden chains resembling giant snakes that shot out into the air.
A rustling sound resonated through the air as the spiritual chains collided.
Tokikaze didn't retreat. He used Shunpo and charged straight at the chains. He weaved and dodged the incoming golden chains multiple times.
The chains couldn't even touch his clothes.
"Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end."
Tokinada didn't expect that a mere Bakudo #63 could restrain Tokikaze. As he used Sajo Sabaku, he quickly chanted a new Kidō incantation.
"Bakudo #75: Gochūtekkan!"
Five yellow orbs composed of Reiatsu flew out from his hands into the sky before turning into five tall and thick pillars above Tokikaze.
Boom, boom, boom!!
The huge pillars descended, directly blocking Tokikaze's path.
"You can use Bakudo that well?"
Tokikaze raised his Zanpakuto and dished out a crescent-shaped compressed air blade that tore through space.
The compressed air blade cut the massive iron columns in two, obscuring the surroundings with dust.
"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired."
Taking advantage of the brief moment when Tokikaze was trapped, Tokinada raised his right hand and chanted another Kidō incantation.
Pink energy points were materialized around him. With each passing second, it intensified until the whole mountain was shrouded in his Reiatsu.
"Hado #91: Senju Kōten Taihō!"
Due to Senju Kōten Taihō, the entire battlefield was nearly dyed in pink.
At this moment, Tokikaze timely cut through Gochūtekkan, appearing in Tokinada's line of sight.
"Too slow, with your skill, do you even deserve to be the heir of Tsunayashiro Clan?"
The jealousy was evident through Tokinada's words.
As the words fell, the pink-colored beams were fired at Tokikaze.
It was so fast that it left long trails in the sky!
Faced with such an attack, Tokikaze's expression turned serious. His Reiatsu surged suddenly, and Arashigane in his right hand conjured a violent wind!
The wind shortly turned into a tornado that swallowed everything in the forest.
Tall trees were uprooted, falling into the vortex and being crushed in an instant. The ground was upheaved, adding a different color to the originally pale hurricane.
Facing Hado #91, Tokikaze naturally would go all out.
A mind-blowing phenomenon soon happened.
The entire mountain range was almost covered by heavy clouds, while below, the scene resembled an apocalypse, with tornado wreaking havoc.
As Senju Kōten Taihō exploded, flames soared into the sky, forming a cross-shaped light that annihilated everything in its surroundings.
Tokikaze swung his Zanpakuto. The vast Reiatsu rushed into the hurricane, and the greenish-white color spread rapidly, painting the surroundings in a clear and bright light.
The cross-shaped light, like the scorching sun, illuminated the surrounding with bright light. The clear wind reversed the sky, swallowing all light. The collision at the centre produced a blinding light!
Boom!!!
The shockwaves of the impact spread, like concentric circles throughout the mountain range.
However, unlike typical shockwaves, the aftermath destroyed anything it passed through.
The Soul Reapers who initially thought this battle wouldn't affect them immediately took back their words. Some even abandoned their opponents and immediately deployed various defensive techniques, be it Kidō, Zanpakutō abilities, and some even resorted to using corpses to shield themselves.
"Huff, huff..."
Tokinada panted. He had a crazed look on his face as he stared into the area that Senju Koten Taiho struck.
"Is he dead...?"
He sensed that Tokikaze's Reiatsu had completely vanished in this explosion.
This meant that he was the true victor of this battle!
"So, what exactly are you watching?"
A familiar and indifferent voice sounded behind Tokinada, causing his nerves to tighten, and his muscles to contract.
A cold sensation fell on his neck, and an icy chill instantly spread throughout his body.
Tokikaze stood behind Tokinada, holding Arashigane on Tokinada's neck.
No matter how tough he was, he'd still die if he lost his head.
Of course, there were always exceptions, like Mayuri, who had modified his body.
"It's impossible, that's..."
Tokinada's expression became increasingly manic, completely losing the calm demeanor he had earlier.
"Hado #91," Tokikaze continued the conversation, "Senju Kōten Taihō."
"This is the strongest attack I've seen, combined with your Reiatsu, it's undoubtedly a devastating."
"But unfortunately, it fell short..."
As he spoke, Tokikaze's figure had already passed by Tokinada.
Under the sunlight after the storm, a head was lopped off, and blood gushed out, dyeing the battlefield in red!
Tokinada, the last heir of the branch family, , was dead!
