Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 275 Direct Breakthrough - White Path Sect

If it were an ordinary stray cat, it would have been terrified and fled long ago on this battlefield where spiritual pressure is so intense.

But this cat is different.

It sat gracefully on the roof tiles, and in its golden pupils shone a scrutinizing gaze that only those in high positions possessed.

What alarmed Toshiro most was the faint spiritual pressure emanating from the black cat.

That wasn't the spiritual pressure of a wild beast; it was something forged through countless trials, surpassing that of ordinary seated officials.

Captain-level spiritual pressure!

"Who is that?"

Toshiro's fingers unconsciously tightened around the hilt of Hyōrinmaru.

His intuition told him that the orange-haired boy might just be the visible blade, while the black cat was the true hand wielding the knife.

As if sensing Toshiro's gaze, the black cat turned its head and met his eyes across the noisy battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of the cat's mouth turned up slightly.

It even revealed an extremely human-like, and even provocative, smile.

[Hey, is this the kid captain who's been called a genius lately?]

A deep, magnetic female voice resounded directly in Toshiro's mind.

Binding Spell Chapter 77: One-Way Transmission of Heavenly Void?

No, it's a purer spiritual pressure communication technique!

Toshiro frowned, his gaze fixed on the black cat: "Who are you? Are you also an accomplice of the Ryoka?"

Don't be so nervous.

The black cat licked its paws and stood up nimbly: "Since you're the captain of the 10th Division, then you're Shiba Isshin's successor, right?"

It's quite intriguing that that frivolous guy has such a serious junior like you.

The moment Shiba Isshin's name was mentioned, Toshiro's eyes turned icy cold.

"You know Captain Shiba? Who exactly are you?!"

If you want to know, then try and catch me.

The black cat let out a soft chuckle and bent its hind legs slightly.

The cat transformed into a black lightning bolt, vanishing from its spot in an instant, leaving only a fleeting afterimage as it sped towards the woods surrounding the Spirit Court.

I'm also very interested to see just how capable the legendary youngest genius captain really is.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Toshiro did not hesitate at all.

Compared to the several raiders that were already surrounded by the main force, the mysterious black cat was obviously more threatening and more likely to have the behind-the-scenes intelligence of this invasion.

"Squad 10, listen up! Capture the Ryoka with all your might! I'm going to pursue the enemy commander!"

With that command, Toshiro unleashed his Shunpo technique, transforming into a white streak of light as he chased after the black cat.

With the captain gone, the battle in front of the White Path Gate became even more chaotic and violent.

"Kurosaki! We're being suppressed! If we don't break through quickly, we'll be worn down and die here!" Uryu shouted.

Ichigo suddenly swung Zangetsu with all his might, forcing Ganju and the boar back several steps.

He glanced back at his companions' predicament, his heart filled with anxiety.

Chad was trapped in the swamp, struggling to pound the ground with the giant's arm; Orihime's shield, though sturdy, was teetering on the brink of collapse under the combined attack of the two seated officers; and Uryu's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Damn it... I came here to save Rukia... How could I be held up here!"

Ichigo's mind flashed back to Rukia's eyes when she was taken away, and to the regret of his helplessness on that rainy night.

"Kid... do you want to keep getting beaten up?"

Uncle Zhan Yue's voice echoed in my mind, tinged with a hint of confusion.

If you don't take this seriously... your friend might get hurt.

Ichigo's expression changed instantly.

That deep-seated obsession in his heart—the desire to protect everything.

At that moment, it transformed into scalding power, surging forth!

"How could we...lose here?!"

Buzz—!

A terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Ichigo's body.

A deep blue light surged around him, instantly engulfing the entire White Gate Square.

"W-what?!"

The grappling hook, which was about to charge, was stunned by the sudden momentum. The wild boar Bonnie beneath it let out a terrified squeal and retreated uncontrollably.

"This spiritual pressure... Is this kid a monster?!" Sasaki Gosei's expression changed drastically.

He felt his earth spider begin to disintegrate under the impact of this spiritual pressure.

Ichigo suddenly raised his head, his originally brown pupils now seeming to burn with blue flames.

He gripped Zanjutsu tightly with both hands, and the massive blade hummed excitedly as spiritual pressure poured into it.

"You riding a wild boar! Get out of my way!!!"

With a roar, Ichigo's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

It's not Instant Step, but it's even better than Instant Step!

That was the extreme speed brought about by a pure burst of power!

"Oh no! Bonnie! Be careful..."

"6

Before Ganju could finish speaking, Ichigo had already appeared above him.

With the momentum of creating the world, and accompanied by a blue spiritual pressure storm, Zangetsu slashed down heavily!

Boom! ...

The halberd in the guillotine's hand was severed the moment it touched Zan Yue.

Immediately afterwards, that unparalleled force slammed into him without reservation.

"Waaaaaah!!"

With a scream, Rock Vulture was blasted away along with the pig, crashing heavily into the Death Squad's formation behind them, instantly knocking down a large number of members.

With just one strike, a huge gap was torn open in the formation of the Tenth Division.

"Now! Everyone! Charge with me!!"

Ichigo did not linger in the fight; taking advantage of the chaos, he charged into the enemy ranks first.

"Tea Crossing!"

He swung his sword at the swamp that trapped Chad, and the violent spiritual pressure directly overturned the land.

Sasaki Gosei suffered a backlash, spitting out blood as he flew backward.

Chad, having escaped his predicament, immediately swung the giant's arm, blasting away Takeuchi Rokusai, who was attempting to ambush Orihime.

"Walk!"

The four-person team coalesced into a sharp blade, carving a bloody path through the 10th Division, which had lost its commander and was overwhelmed by Ichigo's spiritual pressure.

"Stop them! Don't let them get away!"

Several fearless team members tried to stop them, but they were met with Uryu's precise light arrows and Chad's heavy iron fists.

In the blink of an eye, Ichigo and the others broke through the encirclement and rushed towards the intricate streets inside the Soul Society.

"Cough cough... Damn it... that orange-haired kid!!"

The jaguar struggled to crawl out of the ruins, its face covered in blood.

As he watched Ichigo and the others walk away, the anger in his eyes intensified.

"Men! Stop lying there pretending to be dead! Chase them! We can't let them continue their rampage!!"

Hearing the roar of the rock vulture, the team members who had fallen to the ground due to the impact struggled to their feet.

Despite their injuries, the guards' sense of honor made it impossible for them to tolerate the intruders leaving so brazenly.

"Chase!!"

Dozens of Shinigami rallied, their eyes red, and brandishing their Zanpakuto, prepared to chase after the direction where Ichigo and the others had disappeared.

however.

Just as they had taken a few steps.

Buzz.....

A very faint humming sound, like ripples on water, suddenly rang out in the air.
