The only player in the world of Bleach.

The defeat after the stalemate meant that Yusuke Matsushita could not defeat Oni no Ichijo through a direct confrontation.

While this result is deeply regrettable, it seems to be within reason.

After all, the opponent was at least a captain-level figure, and in terms of training time and combat strategies, he was far superior to Matsushita Yusuke.

in other words.

It's already quite an achievement to have played like this.

But they couldn't just surrender. Putting aside Oni-no-Kage's declaration of certain death, Matsushita Yusuke was extremely envious of all the rewards.

As Oni Yanjo approached inch by inch, getting closer and closer, Matsushita Yusuke frowned slightly.

A direct confrontation is not advisable.

Then we'll have to find another way.

Draw your sword and retreat.

Matsushita Yusuke's sudden withdrawal clearly indicated that he had already planned to retreat and regroup.

But this seemed to be within Onigenjo Kenpachi's expectations.

"How could I possibly let you get away?!"

He chased after them, shouting angrily.

He gripped the weapon with both hands and slashed horizontally from left to right!

The serrated blade looked ferocious and terrifying. If it were to fall on a person, it would probably be the most normal outcome of being cut in two.

Matsushita Yusuke's expression tightened slightly, and he slashed horizontally with the Vajra Zangetsu in his hand.

One side was a terrifying slash that swept past with a whoosh, lightning flashing across the sky, as if the might of heaven had struck down.

The other side, however, was extremely reserved, gathering all its strength and momentum for a silent counterattack...

The two are on completely different levels in terms of influence.

Almost everyone could imagine that Matsushita Yusuke's Zanpakuto would be shattered on the spot, and he would be cut in half at the waist, dying on the spot!

Soi Fon, who was watching, felt her scalp tighten for a moment, and her mind went completely blank.

"Hey! Stop it!!!"

Who would listen?

Gui Yancheng's ferocity was undisguised; he seemed to have already foreseen the impending outcome, letting out a series of triumphant laughs.

You deserve it! People like you deserve to die!

The spiritual pressure was at a disadvantage, and the confrontation was disproportionate.

Now, the counterattack is being carried out hastily... From any perspective, this is a fatal flaw.

They deserve to pay the price!

However, the blow, which sounded like a thunderclap from the heavens, failed to sever Matsushita Yusuke's Zanpakuto.

Just like when they first collided, the two produced an extremely crisp echo.

Bang!!

The sparks that flew out were incredibly bright, and Matsushita Yusuke staggered backward...

But that's all.

"...?"

Gui Yancheng's face showed a slight hint of doubt.

He seemed unable to comprehend what was happening... all the conditions were pointing in a direction unfavorable to Matsushita Yusuke.

But the result was not like that. Seeing Matsushita Yusuke in such a disheveled state, yet still able to maintain his steady posture, Oni Genjo Kenpachi felt increasingly puzzled.

Why is this happening? I simply... can't understand it.

It was as if the two sides had simply bumped into each other?

Something doesn't seem right.

But thinking was never his forte... Rather than worrying and struggling, he'd rather just go and bang his head against the wall and get 'bloodied'!

Action trumps thought—that's the essence of Kenpachi Onige's mind!

Gui Yancheng, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, gathered his strength, took a step forward, and with a loud shout, raised his swords high above his head.

"Drink it!!!"

It is both a way to boost self-esteem and a way to enhance confidence.

It was accompanied by an angry shout.

The dark clouds overhead had already begun to rumble.

Within it lay swirling, rolling bolts of lightning, their constant buzzing echoing. Wisps of light flickered hazily from within, finally striking straight down...

Leading to the tyranny in Guiyan City's hands!

Has he mastered the power of lightning? Not at all... This is merely a way of utilizing and manifesting spiritual pressure.

They forcibly drew down the natural forces formed in the air, causing them to fall upon themselves, thus creating an extremely powerful momentum.

This is not only a demonstration of going all out, but also a clever trick hidden in Gui Yancheng's mind. He is full of confidence for the upcoming attack!

I will surely slay Matsushita Yusuke!

call……

Where the long blade swept across, the air distorted and thunder roared.

As if to sever everything at this moment, as if to shred it to pieces, Gui Yancheng roared in fury.

"Die!!!"

Compared to his ferocious expression, Matsushita Yusuke merely raised his head slightly and looked at him calmly. Then…

He brandished the Vajra Treasury in his hand.

Just like the previous action, there was no fanfare whatsoever; it was an extremely simple response.

The two weapons clashed again.

Bang!!

Yusuke Matsushita was violently thrown away.

His figure landed awkwardly, rolled into a ball, and finally stood up unsteadily.

The marks on his face made it clear to everyone around him that he was far from 'calm' at this moment. Even so, this was still far from the result that Gui Yancheng had expected.

Why?

He's still alive?!

Such a full-force attack should be impossible for even other captains to withstand so easily!

Even more so.

Just as Oni Yancheng Kenpachi shouted angrily.

The lightning bolts that had been wrapped around the violent force shattered and began to fall sparsely to the ground.

What happened?

His connection with his Zanpakuto had never been severed, so he was quite certain that... the problem did not lie with him.

Why would the state suddenly become unstable?

What did he do to me?

The unknown brings fear, and with this in mind, Gui Yancheng hesitated. He didn't actively pursue, but instead shouted a message from afar.

"What exactly are you?!"

Faced with the other party's questioning, Matsushita Yusuke simply remained silent and looked at his own hands.

Unharmed?

How could that be...?

The webs between the thumb and index finger of both hands had been torn open, and the fascia and muscle textures were clearly visible.

Matsushita Yusuke sighed, his hands trembling slightly.

Despite the attempts made, the results were still unsatisfactory.

Vajragarbha's abilities are actually quite simple.

Just like the abilities shown before, they analyze and dismantle each other's abilities through mutual collision.

Until you fully understand it.

Then everything...

Crush!

Just like when he fought against Sanchao Jin before, after contact and adaptation, Vajra Zang would naturally find the opponent's weakest point and break through it!

Everything has its corresponding weaknesses, and even captain-level figures are no exception.

However, things never go as smoothly as expected.

"I initially thought we could still give it a try... but now it seems that was a bit too optimistic."

First, spiritual pressure is an insurmountable barrier; second, even if a weakness is found, breaking through it is not easy...

"We can only break through the outer shell."

The lightning bolts wrapped around the outside formed an insurmountable barrier, stopping Matsushita Yusuke's ability at its limit.
