Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 238 Guan Yi vs. Yhwach!

"His Majesty!"

When Yhwach appeared, Lizzie Barrow and Haschward both lowered their heads, but neither of them showed any surprise. Haschward closed his eyes slightly, and Lizzie Barrow's body even trembled slightly.

As the Holy Letter X, Ridge Barrow was the first member of the Holy Cross Knights to be granted power by Yhwach, and he has always considered himself Yhwach's most perfect creation, the man closest to God.

But he knew that his performance in the battle was far from satisfactory.

In that battle a year ago, whether facing Yamamoto Shigekuni or Aizen and the Arrancar's ambush, it was their personal guard and members of the Holy Cross Knights who risked their lives to intercept them.

Even though they were in a very bad state and lost one after another, no attack landed directly on Yhwach, let alone Yhwach personally participated in the battle!

But what about now?
ended.

His Majesty has appeared to join the war two years before the 999th year, and everything is over.

The two did not, and dared not, step forward to join Yhwach in attacking Guan Yi; they simply stood there with their heads bowed in deep silence.

In the distance, Yhwach, whose sword was clashing with Guan Yi's, did not respond to Ridge Barrow and Haschward; instead, the clash of spiritual pressure grew increasingly fierce.

Amidst the roaring waves of sand, the collision of the Zanpakuto and the Spirit Broadsword unleashed a blinding white light. The clash of two spiritual pressures, powerful enough to tear everything apart, forcefully ripped the barren sands of Hueco Mundo into ring-shaped air walls. Even the sand at the edges of these air walls turned into crystal-clear glass shards under the intense heat.

Guan Yi's wrists felt slightly numb. He thought to himself, "As expected of the 'King of Loans' Yhwach, his spiritual pressure is much stronger than mine now."

But that's not surprising. Yhwach has been 'eating' for countless years, while Kaneki has only been eating for a year. If it weren't for the fact that human spiritual pressure has an upper limit and is something that becomes more difficult to increase the more you raise it, Yhwach's spiritual pressure alone would be enough to kill the Shinigami captains.

When spiritual pressure is stronger, one uses force to suppress others.

If your spiritual pressure is weak, then you can win with skill!

With a burst of power from his wrist, Guan Yi spun around, his left foot grinding the ground. His Zanpakuto drew a crescent-shaped arc of light, and the black and white Kido light wrapped around the blade suddenly surged. The blade and Yhwach's broadsword sparked as the blade slashed toward Yhwach's neck.

Yhwach's eyes flashed with golden light, and he gripped the hilt of his broadsword with his left hand. Quincy power surged into the blade like a tidal wave, instantly coating the originally transparent spiritual particle broadsword with a layer of dark gold. As the blade parried and trembled, countless fine spiritual particle spikes shot towards Guan Yi's body.

Guan Yi neither dodged nor evaded; as he moved freely around himself, the spiritual particles emanating from his body instantly surged back, transforming into an invisible barrier that devoured and rebounded all the spiritual particle spikes.

As Yhwach parried, his right-hand Zanpakuto suddenly accelerated, its momentum abruptly changing. It was no longer a Shinigami's slashing technique, but a fusion of the Beng Jin from Xingyi Quan and the Tie Shan Kao from Bajiquan. The blade pressed down sharply against the broadsword's body, and he crashed into Yhwach like a cannonball!

boom!
The two men's shoulders collided violently, both letting out a muffled groan before bouncing back. Their blades met again, the deafening clang of metal striking metal echoing through the air.

A dazzling clash of swords clashed in mid-air, the shockwave radiating outwards from the two figures. The earth of Hueco Mundo shattered completely, countless bottomless ravines spreading out, instantly crushing the remaining rubble in the distance into dust!

Subsequently, the intensity of the battle continued to escalate.

Ding ding ding ding!
Swords clashed repeatedly, each collision more intense than the last. Yhwach was regaining his fighting spirit, while Guan Yi's Great Luo Cave Observation and Six Treasures Immortal Thief were analyzing his spiritual path.

When they collided and separated again, Yhwach suddenly pulled back his broadsword and his figure vanished from the spot. As if jumping through space, he reappeared behind Guan Yi, the broadsword carrying the power to tear through space, stabbing towards Guan Yi's back!
The Quincy's ability to move quickly is different from the Shinigami's Shunpo. It is Hiren-kyu, which uses spiritual particles to propel movement on the ground. The stronger the control over the spiritual particles, the faster the leap.

This move was created by Yhwach, the founder of the Quincy!

It is several times faster than Yoruichi Shunjin's speed. The time it takes to move over such a short distance can be measured in microseconds, which is beyond sight and beyond reaction time!
However, this sudden change of tactics and the seemingly inevitable thrust still failed.

Guan Yi moves faster.

Because that's real spatial movement.

'Eight Gates Ghost Step' is a brand-new movement method developed by Guan Yi by combining the Eight Gates Movement Technique with skills such as Instant Step, Full Vision Step, and Resounding Turn. Within his spiritual particle control range, he can open channels at will and perform short-distance jumps!

He turned around and came behind Yhwach, slashing horizontally at Yhwach's neck.

Just as it was about to strike, a patterned semi-circular shield suddenly appeared on the back of Yhwach's neck, blocking Guan Yi's Zanpakuto and then rapidly extending towards Guan Yi.

Blood Stasis Armor.

This is one of the core abilities of the Quincy. By injecting spiritual particles into the blood vessels, it greatly enhances the body's defensive capabilities. Guan Yi used it when he killed Askin, but the strength that Guan Yi could easily cleave through was incomparable to Yhwach's.

The technique used by Yhwach is an advanced version of the Bloodstained Armor, the 'Outer Bloodstained Armor'. It not only extends the defense to the outside of the body, but also corrodes everything that touches Yhwach to continuously expand its range and launch a counterattack.

After the shield clashed with Guan Yi's Zanpakuto, it quickly 'crawled' towards Guan Yi's Zanpakuto, rapidly eroding Guan Yi's body. But instead of retreating, Guan Yi advanced, extending his left arm towards the shield.

The Six Treasures Immortal Thief!

hum-

As the spiritual pressure touched, the outer shell of the Bloodstained Armor that his left hand touched melted through like paper meeting fire, turning into spiritual energy that surged into Guan Yi's body.

It melts through very slowly, making it arguably the most difficult thing to "eat" in Guanyi's mind to date: grass roots and tree bark within the spirit particles.

But if you grit your teeth, close your eyes, take a big bite, and swallow it, it's not that big of a deal!

puff--

The blood-soaked armor, now pierced by the bite, could no longer stop Guan Yi's blade. Even though Yhwach used his fastest second reaction to teleport, the blade that Guan Yi had slashed down still left a wound on his neck!
Blood splattered everywhere!

"Is that so? Faced with an attack with a sufficiently high concentration of spiritual particles, your ability to devour spiritual particles cannot instantly break them down."

Ignoring the injuries he had sustained, Yhwach spoke coldly as Guan Yi's sword fell once more.

In the next instant, the sky of Hueco Mundo was torn apart by an extremely terrifying pressure. Yhwach's figure suddenly rose into the air, his dark golden holy flames surging like a tide, and all the characters on his robes lit up. He made a fist with his left hand, and countless spiritual particles in the void frantically gathered and condensed, transforming into a giant bow and arrow that was thousands of feet long.

"The Great Sage Bow!"

hum-

The moment the bowstring trembled, a blue arrow powerful enough to pierce through space materialized, locked onto its target, and shot down towards Guan Yi!

The moment the arrow pierced the air, the surrounding desert sand was pressed into the ground by this force, and the Eight Gates transport channel was affected and distorted, preventing Guan Yi from using the Eight Gates Ghost Step to dodge.

If the spiritual particle concentration of the All-Penetrating Ray of Rulijabarrow is 1, then the arrow fired from the Quincy's strongest holy bow, condensed by Yhwach, has an intensity of at least 10. That terrifying spiritual particle concentration is indeed not something that Guan Yi could swallow in one bite, nor could it be directly reflected back through the mirror.

However, when it comes to controlling spiritual particles, Guan Yi dares not say that he can definitely surpass Yhwach. But when the Qimen formation base under his feet is unfolded, within the area covered by Guan Yi's Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, Guan Yi is also the absolute king who commands spiritual particles!
The heavenly spirits returned to Yohabakh.

The ground belongs to me.

hum-

In an instant, all the spiritual particles within a radius of several miles of the void were brought under Guan Yi's control, and a pure white spiritual particle cloak draped around him.

"Chaos Shattering - A Thousand Layers!"

In an instant, hundreds of ghostly paths densely formed around Guan Yi's body, ranging from the low-level Breaking Path One Strike and Breaking Path Eleven Lightning, to the mid-level Crimson Fire Cannon and Tian Lan, and then to the higher-level Thunder Roar Cannon and Slashing Wheel!

They formed a dense barrage, heading towards the arrows of the Great Sage's Bow, bursting forth with a blazing white light that destroyed everything upon impact!

Quantity triumphs over quality.

Even as the arrow shattered, dozens of ghostly paths continued to rush towards Yhwach.

Yhwach swung his sword to deflect several arrows, frowned, and instantly flashed to a distance. At this moment, he noticed an unusual fluctuation coming from the direction where the ghost path and the arrow tip collided.

"The Four Plates Harmony Formation".

An even more unique formation was laid out beneath Guan Yi's feet on the ground. The Wuhou School's skills were quite unique in their dual utilization of spiritual energy.

Boom—

Whether it was the lingering embers of Guan Yi's hundreds of shattered ghostly flames, or the remnants of the Great Sage Bow shot by Yhwach, they all came under Guan Yi's control at this moment. They frantically condensed towards the center, ultimately transforming into two giant dragons, one pure black and one pure white!
"Third Revolution - Yin Yang Dragon!" The third revolution, which had been interrupted by Yhwach and destroyed by the Five Dragons Revolution, has finally appeared, with the five dragons condensed into two.

The white dragon was given flesh and blood by Guan Yi using divine craftsmanship and divine refinement, making it incredibly strong. The black dragon, on the other hand, was given a soul and the strange power to devour spiritual pressure by Guan Yi using dual-wielding techniques and the source of spiritual pressure.

The two dragons intertwined and twisted, biting and swallowing Yhwach, whose face was ashen as water, and carrying him backwards for thousands of miles, indiscriminately annihilating all the ethereal spirits along the way!
