It was a cute loli with purple twin-tails and a black eye patch over her left eye.
There was also another female Shinigami with a long braided ponytail, glasses, and a long-handled naginata, petite but with curves that Soi Fon would envy.
They were all clad in half-skeletal armor glowing with golden light, rushing towards him in unison.
Vague memories surfaced in Aozaki Reiji's mind, and combined with his recent encounter with Shihoin Chika, he had already recognized the identities of these two individuals.
They were—
The first Captain of the Sixth Squad, Saitō Furofushi.
And the first Captain of the Eighth Squad, Katori Batsu'unsai!
The two women expressionlessly surrounded Aozaki Reiji, like two emotionless automatons.
Aozaki Reiji maintained a faint smile on his face, reluctantly raising his hand, but his fingertips flickered with black and white light.
The light was extraordinarily beautiful, like dazzling stars in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.
The black and white light orb gathered at his fingertips attracted everyone's attention, like a unique ink wash painting, captivating all who beheld it.
The two female Shinigami were unconsciously drawn to this scene, immersed in its beauty.
However, just as they were admiring this tableau, a powerful Reiatsu quietly surged, instantly making them alert.
The intensity of this Reiatsu far exceeded their imagination; even as Captain-class individuals, they felt immense pressure.
They realized that behind this seemingly beautiful facade, an extremely dangerous power was hidden.
The brilliant light was like a dazzling pearl, as if freezing one's thoughts.
Reiatsu condensed like a pillar, forming a powerful beam of light.
Fragor!
A sound of breaking air rang out, traveling hundreds of meters at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
The Reiatsu cannon blast pierced through the armor, tearing apart flesh, and scattered bits of flesh fell onto the stone pillars around the Senkaimon.
However, the battle did not end there!
This thought flashed through Aozaki Reiji's mind.
He saw that the Reiatsu of the two women disappeared for an instant, then continued to approach, but it was much weaker than before.
Not only that… he noticed a hairless, somewhat lewd-looking old man behind him, approaching this way.
The first Captain of the Thirteenth Squad, Saizō Sakahone!
As soon as he approached, without any hesitation, a sword strike came.
Light Form Movement!
Aozaki Reiji's body instantly transformed into light particles and disappeared, reappearing high in the sky.
His figure stood high above, looking down at the old man below.
At this moment, Saizō Sakahone once again raised his Zanpakuto.
Swish!!
The instantly condensed Reishi katana slashed down fiercely, cutting him into two along with Saizō Sakahone's Zanpakuto.
Hot blood immediately gushed out, splashing towards Aozaki Reiji.
Aozaki Reiji casually waved his hand, and a strong wind howled, easily wiping away the splattering blood.
He caught the severed blade of Saizō Sakahone, his eyes cold.
Then, he turned around on the spot with clean movements, throwing the half-meter long broken blade forcefully to the side.
Whoosh!
The broken blade shot out like a meteor, instantly piercing through the skull armor, mercilessly impaling the rushing twin-tailed loli.
She let out a scream, was sent flying like a candied haw, and finally was firmly impaled on a stone pillar of the Senkaimon, with surrounding stones shattering and scattering.
However, no one cared about the fate of this "deceased" now.
The golden-armored, shattered Katori Batsu'unsai suddenly attacked from the side, her naginata carrying powerful Reiatsu, striking down with the force to split mountains and cut water.
Although they were still a hundred meters apart just now, for powerhouses of their level, this was a distance that could be covered in an instant.
Just a blink of an eye was enough to cross it.
Quite fast.
Aozaki Reiji watched Katori Batsu'unsai stop and raise her long-handled naginata to strike at him.
He took a step forward without hesitation, raising his right hand into the air.
In an instant, his body once again vanished without a trace.
Light Form Movement!
In an extremely short time, too quick to blink, Aozaki Reiji instantly moved half a meter, appearing precisely behind Katori Batsu'unsai.
His palm gently waved, and a streak of blood already stained the surface of his arm.
Aozaki Reiji turned his head to see Saizō Sakahone raising his sword, with most of his armor also gone.
Seeing this, Aozaki Reiji understood.
When he cut Saizō Sakahone just now, he deliberately avoided cutting the parts covered by the skull armor.
But his skull armor still became shattered.
This was not Hell; their ability to revive here was definitely related to the armor they wore.
And it seemed that the more severe the injury, the more power was needed for recovery.
Before Saizō Sakahone's blade could fall, a fist had already reached his chest, then exploded with immense force, smashing into him.
Ikkotsu!
Aozaki Reiji didn't need to think; he instinctively punched Saizō Sakahone, and this Hakuda technique was extremely effective in his hands.
Bang!!!
A terrifying force, like a mountain, crashed into him, instantly occupying every corner of his body.
This power was so immense that Saizō Sakahone's entire body could not withstand it, and he was directly blasted into smithereens.
The so-called Hell Armor appeared so fragile at this moment, easily shattering like paper.
As the blood mist just diffused, Aozaki Reiji silently turned and left.
He lightly shook off the bloodstains on his hand, then his gaze met that of the rushing purple-haired loli.
There was no verbal exchange between them, but their eyes revealed a sense of understanding and determination.
Boom!!!
His arm and the long sword were raised simultaneously, and a crisp sound rang out.
Ikkotsu!
Immediately after, a bloom of blood spread across the body, like an opening flower.
Although the long sword blocked in the middle, the suddenly erupting power was like an extremely compressed nuclear bomb, easily breaking through the defense and directly impacting the delicate body.
The fragile body burst apart, flesh and blood flying.
Meanwhile, Aozaki Reiji stood still, slightly turning his head.
At the same time, Katori Batsu'unsai, holding her long sword, slashed downwards diagonally.
A strike aimed at the neck, intending to decapitate, precisely struck a translucent, pale green shield.
Million Shield!
Brief friction between sword and shield, sparks flew, followed by a crisp sound.
"It will be quick, so quick you won't feel the pain!"
The young man's voice was gentle.
He raised his fist again, and a burst of air exploded, unleashing an unparalleled force.
"Mm."
A faster, heavier punch was thrown the instant Katori Batsu'unsai swung her long sword.
The piercing shriek of tearing air made her unable to open her eyes, and then her consciousness, before pain arrived, ran off to who knows where.
Puff puff puff!!
Like a blood-colored fireworks display, immediately following her head, Katori Batsu'unsai's body exploded.
The scene was too brutal and magnificent; those who had just arrived were stunned, and before everyone could recover, a mad dog-like figure had already pounced over.
"Reiji!"
The blonde Shinigami beauty galloped wildly, and in an instant, she was clinging to Aozaki Reiji.
The Squad members of the First Squad who followed closely couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Too fast, too powerful, too clean and decisive!
Such a powerhouse shouldn't die so carelessly!!
Even from a distance, they felt those terrifying spiritual pressures; if it weren't for Vice-Captain Chojiro and Third Seat Matsumoto protecting them, they would have been knocked out long ago.
Yet, such terrifying powerhouses were slain by this Eleventh Division Captain in just a few breaths!
