I'm really not the number one slacker in Soul Society.

But a Cero amplified three times by the furious torrent is not so easily countered.

After only a moment of pause, the dark stream of light shattered the crescent moon into pieces.

It slammed directly into An Cang Yu Shou, carrying with it fragments that hadn't had time to dissipate.

Strangely enough... it wasn't neutralized by that "devouring force field" like other methods!

The Cero maintained its original attack power, striking the Dark Azure Mage precisely.

If the "devouring field" truly devours everything, then Dark Azure Mage's attacks should also be correspondingly reduced.

However, the answer is not so. Dark Azure Mage can still attack others as usual. If that's the case, then the Devouring Force Field must have a filtering mechanism to distinguish Dark Azure Mage's own spiritual pressure.

Mima chose to start with the identity of the Dark Azure Guardian—although he was not exactly the same as his modern counterparts, he was still a Void, and perhaps using Void methods to deal with him could have a surprising effect?

The results proved Mima's conjecture: Cero could indeed penetrate the Devouring Field.

However, this does not mean that he can take on the Dark Azure Guardian one-on-one.

A single Cero consumed 20% of his spiritual pressure, but the Dark Azure Mage didn't suffer any irreparable damage. He simply stood there breathing and recovering his health, just like the beggar version of Rising Sun Blade before, before being healed again.

Frustrated? What's there to be frustrated about?

Anyway, Cero was just a smokescreen to create openings; he didn't expect to defeat Dark Azure Mage with it.

Someone else is truly going to make the move.

"Solution—"

A chilling female voice, devoid of any gentleness, rang out from beside An Cang Yu Shou.

A torrent of blood surged forth, instantly covering half the sky.

The three captains, Mima and Ansou Mitsu, seemed to be standing in a blood pool hell. All they could see was a dark, scarlet, viscous liquid, and the warm, humid environment was just like the inside of a living being's body.

"All gone."

Half-covered in blood, Unohana took a step forward, slicing the test tube containing the medicine with a blade that looked like it was made of congealed blood, and then suddenly rushed to the side of Ansou Mitsu with incredible speed.

With a swift movement of her blade, blood surged forth like a tidal wave, engulfing An Cang Yu Shou. Her blade, concealed within the blood, bypassed the divine sword's obstruction, tearing through the armor and steel, and plunging deep into An Cang Yu Shou's chest.

Then, Unohana retreated without lingering, and the pool of blood that covered the sky receded like a wave.

The entire process took less than a second.

But that's shocking enough.

Standing in the blood pool for less than a second, Mima's spiritual pressure was replenished by a large amount out of thin air.

Moreover, this recovery method seems to be different from the usual return of spiritual pressure. It is not about transforming "external spiritual pressure" into the spiritual pressure of the person being treated, but rather it is as if the spiritual pressure that was consumed has returned on its own in a mysterious way.

What exactly is the power of Bankai: All Extinction...?

This wasn't clearly explained in the manga after all. Mima originally thought it was like Kirinji Tenjiro's Blood Pool Hell, using a power similar to "over-healing" to directly heal the enemy to death, but now it seems to be different.

Mi Zhen's clothes were slightly damaged by An Cang Yu Shou, but after he stood in the blood pool, his clothes inexplicably became whole again.

This is treatment? Are you kidding me?

Chapter 133: Successful Administration of the Drug

If it's not healing... then could it be some kind of power that reverses time?

It doesn't look like either.

In fact, he is the only wielder of a time-based Zanpakuto in Soul Society.

Mima could easily say, "No one understands time management better than me." If Unohana had done anything to time management, he would definitely have noticed it immediately.

However, it does not.

This is rather puzzling.

Unohana hasn't used her Bankai for over 900 years. Most of the current Gotei 13 members don't even know the name of her Bankai, and there are absolutely no records or information about it. Mima has no way of finding out anything.

Even after seeing it with my own eyes, I still didn't understand.

We'll have to find out later.

Mizhen turned her gaze to the other side.

Following Unohana's successful use of Bankai, Yama-no-Toki also began his operation.

"Drink ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The captain of the Gotei 13 roared furiously.

His skin turned a visible red and scorching hot, like red-hot metal, and the sheer heat distorted the air, creating gusts of air.

If I'm not mistaken... it seems that the old man of the mountain concentrated the flames into his own body? By forcibly stimulating his spiritual pressure in this way, if I'm not mistaken, his strength and speed should have also increased significantly.

However, incorporating destructive flames into one's body cannot be without cost. In just a few seconds, the old man's skin, which had turned crimson, cracked in several places, and the blood was evaporated before it even left his body. Even the embers were completely sublimated.

This method is practically like... a quick cremation!

The old man opened his gleaming (physics) eyes, casually chopped a test tube in half with a knife, then leaned forward and began to sprint!

A flash of fire!

Having been repeatedly baptized by Cero and the sea of ​​blood, Dark Azure Mage had not yet recovered to his best condition. It was precisely this opening that allowed the old man of the mountain to strike with Ryujin Jakka!

Explosive power... This isn't a description, it's a fact!

In the instant he swung his knife, the old man's right arm produced several propulsive bursts of flame!

He pushed the speed of his blade to an extremely exaggerated level, severing the armor on An Cang Yu Shou's abdomen and causing blood to splatter everywhere!

Another dose of medication has been successfully delivered!

But it's not over.

After the old man of the mountain achieved his goal with a single strike, he not only did not withdraw but also retreated.

Instead, he took another step forward, tossed another test tube into the air, and then smashed it with his left hand in a chop motion.

Before the high temperature on his body surface could evaporate the medicine, the old man stabbed out with a powerful hand chop.

It pierced into the abdomen of An Cang Yu Shou, following the wound he had just made.

"You guys..."

With his eyes wide open, An Cang Yu seized the opportunity when the old man of the mountain was wide open and directly struck him in the chest with an upward slash.

The moment the crimson skin made contact with the blade of the divine sword, a violent explosion occurred. This not only reduced the force of the divine sword but also blasted the old man's body backward, thus escaping the attack range of the Dark Azure Guardian.

Good grief, reactive armor?

"Something has appeared in my body... This is your goal, isn't it?" Instead of pressing his advantage, An Cang Yu Shou paused to catch his breath, then turned to Mi Zhen and said, "You should have a copy too... Heh, these two times were my mistakes, but this won't happen again!"

In the next instant, An Cangyu held the divine sword horizontally in front of his chest and swung it forcefully, creating a new crescent moon of blood.

However, this Crescent Moon Strike was not used to attack anyone; instead, it began to circle around the Dark Azure Mage.

Then comes the second and third rounds.

Seven or eight crescent-shaped beams of light surrounded the Dark Azure Guardian Hand, forming an impenetrable defense.

Is this even a usage?

There was more trouble than that—after administering the three doses of medicine, An Cang Yu Shou's condition remained unchanged.

The Shinigami still couldn't sense his spiritual pressure.

No need to guess anymore, the correct answer is the one in Mima's hand.

However, the Dark Azure Guardian has become more vigilant, making it significantly more difficult to administer medicine to him.

After being repelled, the old man immediately stopped the high-temperature burning within his body and transferred the flames back to Ryujin Jakka.

He knelt down, panting heavily, his skin cracked all over, blood gushing out like a fountain—undoubtedly, that state must have caused enormous damage to his body, otherwise the old man would never have shown weakness in front of the enemy.

Unohana frowned, then immediately went to the old man's side and replied to him.

Now, they were both stuck.

The enemy has used a new skill, and my teammates are unable to help, making the mission much more difficult.

However... it's not impossible.

Mi Zhen chuckled, openly opened the test tube, and poured the medicine inside onto Liu Yue.

Holding back is pointless; we must go all out.

Mima gently stroked the blade and said, "Condense forty percent of my spiritual pressure, but don't evaporate the potion."

The moon emitted a buzzing sound, as if it were responding.

Then, it gradually lit up without any heat, condensing 40% of Mi Zhen's spiritual pressure into it.

Immediately afterwards, Mima also began her own preparations.

The blessing of the rabbit talisman.

The speed of blurring increases.

A full-scale intensification of the torrent of anger.

The surging power of Liuyue.

Lightning can stimulate muscles and nerves.

Every means was mobilized.

There's no need to dodge or defend; concentrate all your energy on advancing and piercing. Only in this way can you reliably achieve results.

Then, Mima suddenly set off!

The distance of more than 20 meters was traversed in a fraction of a second. Because the use of Instant Step was abandoned, the shockwave generated by breaking the sound barrier created a gale in the high sky!

An Cang Yu Shou did react in time, but his speed was insufficient to deal with such a high-speed attack. After the divine sword moved only a few dozen centimeters, Mi Zhen arrived beside him.

The crescent moon surrounding An Cang Yu Shou and the spiritual pressure condensed on Liu Yue were locked in a fierce battle, with both sides disappearing by nearly half in an extremely brief instant.

And the victor... is Liu Yue!

The crescent moon, which was encircling the enemy, was at a disadvantage in the confrontation and was torn open, leaving only a gap that could allow half a person to pass through. Mima immediately plunged into it without hesitation!
