Four figures flashed by. One Hollow was cut in half at the waist, another was beheaded, and the last Hollow was attacked from both sides and cut into three pieces.

Yoruichi Shihouin unleashed her physical potential, and was able to successfully execute a sword technique that she was almost about to learn while carrying one and a half people.

She was feeling a bit strained, so she handed the person she was carrying to her companions: "I'll break through, you guys stick close to me!"

Once the weights were removed, she plunged headlong into the swarm of virtual creatures like a sharp knife, with her companions close behind.

After slaying more than a dozen Hollows, Yoruichi Shihouin paused, the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from behind causing her to involuntarily stop.

Turning my head, I saw that the four Hollows had already fallen from the void in the black cavity.

Even more deadly was that one of the Hollows was facing their location, and a huge black and red sphere was condensing in the mouth of its enormous white mask.

"Damn it—that's a Cero!" Yoruichi Shihouin's heart pounded wildly. They had been noticed by the Hollow. She cried out, "Run!"

A black and red flash of light, like a raging torrent, poured down on the four of them.

puff! ! !

The Cero was too fast!

Apart from Yoruichi Shihouin, no one else had time to react!

Yoruichi Shihouin stood at the forefront, brandishing her sword to buy her companions some time to escape.

It only lasted two seconds before being pushed away by a Cero.

boom! ! !

The bricks, tiles, and even houses along the entire street were blown away by the terrifying shockwave.

Gravel, wood chips, and dust turned into a shower of rain.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and for a moment, one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

...

The outskirts of Karakura Town——

After sensing the unusual spiritual pressure, July immediately set off for Karakura Town.

During the practical assessment, except for the first two days, the instructors will not stay with the students all the time, and the students need to follow the instructions of the actual Grim Reaper.

So July didn't stay in Karakura Town today.

However, an unexpected event occurred today: the abnormal spiritual pressure in Karakura Town has exceeded the students' ability to handle it.

This task should have been handled by the two official Grim Reapers in charge.

But when July tried to contact Yamashita-kun and Kawada-san, she discovered that they had both lost contact!

He had to handle it himself.

Not only July headed to Karakura Town, but Yujiro Kurumatani also came along. Yamashita-kun and Ms. Kawada had lost contact, so they must have encountered a difficult situation, and he had to go and rescue his subordinates.

The base is separated from Karakura Town by a small grove of trees, and it only takes a few minutes for the two of them to walk there.

As they approached the edge of the grove, Yujiro Kurumatani suddenly stopped, sensing something amiss: "Shikatori-sensei, please wait a moment, there seems to be a problem ahead."

Yujiro Kurumani and the others stopped in July and continued, "It's too quiet. There are usually a lot of birds chirping here."

July nodded: "There are spiritual pressure fluctuations ahead, there must be a battle going on."

After exchanging glances, the two moved forward in unison, carefully concealing their presence.

After walking a hundred meters forward, I parted the grass and sure enough, I saw people outside the grove, at the edge of Karakura Town.

July was slightly taken aback when she saw these people's attire.

Among the people lying on the ground were two Shinigami dressed in Shinigami uniforms; these two Shinigami were none other than Yamashita-kun and Kawada-san.

The other Grim Reapers lying there were dressed in black masks.

—The Covert Combat Team!

These Shinigami were sent by the Shihouin family to secretly protect Yoruichi Shihouin.

As the heir to the Shihouin family, Yoruichi Shihouin's personal safety is of great importance to the clan.

It had already been confirmed in the last few days of July that a secret service unit was following Yoruichi.

The other official Grim Reapers in the base were also well aware of this.

However, the secret mobile unit that was supposed to be secretly protecting Yoruichi in Karakura Town was lost here.

July looked at the only two people standing there.

Their clothing style was out of step with the times.

He was dressed in a white uniform, wearing long boots, and holding a longsword with a handguard.

The black-haired man pulled a long sword from the corpse; the sword trembled slightly, and blood splattered everywhere.

She raised her other hand and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen from her temple back into place, making her hair neat again.

Then, he tilted his head and looked towards the grove: "Huh, are there any more people coming to their deaths?"

July said in a deep voice:

"Queens..."

Chapter 60 The Quincy of the Present World (Third Update, Please Read On)

July and Kurumiya Yujiro each faced off against a Quincy.

His opponent was the black-haired Quincy wielding a longsword, while Kurumatani Yujiro's opponent was a Quincy skilled in using a spirit bow.

July found the fight with the black-haired Quincy quite troublesome.

The opponent definitely possesses the strength of a high-ranking official.

The two figures flashed rapidly, the sound of their blades clashing echoing continuously.

Dang Dang Dang——

But July didn't have time to linger here. The spiritual pressure fluctuations emanating from Karakura Town were growing stronger and stronger, and the students' situation was quite dangerous.

Yujiro Kurumatani thought the same thing and shouted, "Shikatori-sensei, leave this to me. Go check on Karakura Town."

"Hmph—what are you talking big about? You think you can stop us?" The black-haired Quincy grinned, wielding his sword to suppress July's Zanpakuto, trying to keep him here.

July's spiritual pressure surged, causing the black-haired Quincy's longsword to be knocked away.

My left hand gently stroked the blade:

"Observe all things, Shadow Princess."

The blade quickly turned black, transforming into a completely black Zanpakuto.

At the same time, the black-haired Quincy raised his longsword, and knotted arcs of spiritual particles appeared on the blade, resembling a spiritual longbow.

Holy Arrow Annihilation!

A blue arrow composed of spiritual particles pierced through July's chest in an instant.

"Tsk tsk—is that all you've got? Well, you won't be able to get through here then." The black-haired Quincy elegantly flicked a strand of hair that fell from his temple.

Just then, he suddenly tensed up and quickly raised his longsword.

clang! ! !

July leaped up from behind him, wielding her swords in both hands, and smashed the black-haired Quincy to the ground along with his longsword.

Only then did Shikagiri Nanatsuki, whose chest had been pierced, gradually melt into a ball of black liquid, burrow into the ground, and become a shadow.

The shadow was connected to July by a black line.

Image shift!

In July, you can switch places with your shadow, and even make your shadow impersonate you.

After releasing his Zanpakuto, he immediately switched places with the shadow and hid inside the shadow disguised as a shadow.

Using the ability of shadows to move, he connected with the shadow of the black-haired Quincy, emerged from his shadow, and launched an attack.

Before July could even check the results of the battle, he vanished in an instant.

He sensed the spiritual pressure fluctuations of the Great Hollow and knew he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

The black-haired Quincy scrambled to his feet, tidied his disheveled hair, and glared at the direction July had left in, gritting his teeth: "Damn it, he got away!"

...

Karakura Town, West Street Ruins —

"Cough cough—" The baby-faced girl struggled to sit up and hugged Hoshino Rie, who was pressing down on her. When she came to her senses, she was shocked to find that the other girl's spiritual pressure was almost imperceptible, nearly gone.

If Hoshino Rie hadn't pushed her and pinned her down, she would probably be the one seriously injured right now!

The baby-faced girl burst into tears: "Liyi, wake up!"

Hoshino Rie struggled to open her eyes: "Don't shake me...it hurts..."

The baby-faced girl immediately stopped what she was doing.

Hoshino Rie continued, "How are the others...?"

The baby-faced girl looked around and realized that the little girl who had run away with her earlier had disappeared.

Her fragile soul was utterly unable to withstand the terrifying aftershocks of the phasing.

The short-haired youth lay not far away, his lower body already gone.

The baby-faced girl scrambled to the short-haired young man.

They discovered that he had lost his breath, and even his remaining remains gradually turned into spiritual particles and slowly dissipated.

The short-haired young man, who was actually her boyfriend, burst into tears, crying, "Huita...Huita, he..."

Hoshino Rie whispered, "Naoko, you should run..."

She turned her head with difficulty and saw Yoruichi Shihouin in the ruins not far away, pushing away the rubble and planks pressing on her and staggering to her feet.

Her white ward gown was now stained red with blood.

tick-

Blood dripped from his finger onto the ground.

Blood flowed down her thighs to her feet, staining her white tabi socks red.

"Hiss—" Yoru Shihouin gasped for breath, feeling even breathing had become difficult.

She tried to stand up, but failed several times.

He had no choice but to sit down against a rock, watching the approaching Void.

Suddenly, the words I had boasted about to my teacher flashed through my mind.

At that time, she was full of confidence and believed that she could become the vice captain after graduation.

"Haha... I'm still a long way from being as good as the vice-captain..."

"Even Kylian's Cero couldn't stop it..."

"It seems... this is where it ends..."

"Fortunately... Cero eliminated the remaining Hollow minions..."

"Otherwise, I'll die at the hands of some lowly fry..."

"That was truly a sorry sight..."

Yoruichi Shihōin heard what sounded like coming from afar.

I initially thought it was another ghost coming, but upon closer listening, I realized it was a chant from the ghost realm.

The chanting grew louder as it approached.

"...Hado #88: Flying Dragon Strike the Thief - Heaven-Shaking Thunder Cannon!!!"

Suddenly, a blue beam of light, seemingly about to tear the sky in two, streaked across the horizon.

--boom! ! !

The blue beam struck the Hollow's mask, and a deafening roar resounded.
