“This is bad!”
Within the village, the moment Shinigamis charged out from the woods, without the concealment barrier protecting them, their Reiatsu were quickly sensed by the Quincies within the village.
“How is this possible? We just killed those Hollows, how did the Shinigamis get here so fast?” Seeing the Shinigamis, Takuya Kurosaki’s expression grew solemn.
“Shinigamis are here!”
As the Shinigamis drew closer, more and more Quincies discovered the traces of the Shinigamis.
To the Quincies, Shinigamis were mortal enemies that must kill or be killed upon encountering, the same as Hollows. In fact, the Quincies hated the Shinigamis even more than the Hollows.
This was the resentment left behind after hundreds of years of fighting between Quincies and Shinigamis.
In that moment, blue-colored spirit bows emerged on the left hands of the Quincies as they unleashed attacks at the incoming Shinigamis.
Unfortunately, how could the spirit arrows shot out by these Quincies who struggled to even kill small Hollows pose any threat to the elite Shinigamis?
Some directly used Shunpo to evade while others unsheathed their Zanpakutōs to shatter the incoming spirit arrows. In but an instant, the Quincies’ attacks were completely deflected.
“This isn’t right. The Shinigamis attacking this time are too powerful!”
Seeing the Shinigamis easily dissolve their attacks, Takuya Kurosaki knew things weren’t looking good.
“Unless we had already been exposed. Our earlier actions merely informed the Shinigamis of our exact locations prematurely.”
After this thought flashed through his mind, Takuya Kurosaki raised his Ginrei Kōjaku once more as dense waves of arrow rain shot towards the incoming Shinigamis.
Takuya Kurosaki had pushed Ginrei Kōjaku to its limits, firing out twelve hundred spirit arrows per second that nearly submerged over half the Shinigamis’ skies.
If these Shinigamis were struck by this move, they would suffer at least over fifty percent casualties.
Unfortunately, Takuya Kurosaki’s torrent of light arrows didn’t truly manage to injure even a single Shinigami.
Because two figures instantly appeared before all the Shinigamis, directly facing the sky full of arrows—
Captain of the 2nd Division Guardians of Seireitei, Yoruichi Shihōin and Captain of the 13th Division, Jūshirō Ukitake!
“Bakudō Number 81 – Splitting Void!”
A translucent pale yellow light barrier instantly materialized before Yoruichi and Ukitake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless arrows struck the barrier, erupting urgent blasts that caused dense exploding fog to appear before Splitting Void.
Aside from making the fog of exploded spirit arrow remnants denser before Splitting Void, Takuya Kurosaki’s attack didn’t injure the Shinigamis whatsoever.
After all, as a high-tier defensive Kidō, the reputed Splitting Void could perfectly defend against Destructive Spells below number 90.
Even if Ukitake had given up chanting, only able to display one-third of Splitting Void’s true might, it could still block Destructive Spells around number 60.
Although the arrows Takuya Kurosaki fired moved at twelve hundred per second, each arrow only possessed power comparable to number 4 Destructive Spell Pale Lightning. They were completely unable to penetrate through Splitting Void’s defense.
“Captains of the Thirteen Divisions Guardians of Seireitei? Moreover, there’s two of them?”
When Yoruichi Shihōin and Jūshirō Ukitake's figures appeared before Takuya Kurosaki, he knew that not only him, but many more Quincies wouldn’t make it out alive today.
The Captains of the Thirteen Divisions Guardians of Seireitei stood at the pinnacle of Seireitei, boasting the greatest power. Every single one of them possessed might far surpassing ordinary imagination.
Even with his confidence in himself, Takuya Kurosaki didn’t believe he could rival a Captain of the Thirteen Divisions. Let alone the fact there were two Captains standing before him right now.
Furthermore, after ceasing his assault, he discovered the Shinigamis behind Splitting Void were advancing along the flanks in an arc, clearly attempting to completely surround the village where Takuya and the others were located. Evidently, they were planning to completely annihilate them!
“Shuta Katagiri, Junichi Ishida, I will obstruct these Shinigamis while you quickly lead everyone to escape!”
“Lord Kurosaki!”
“Stop dawdling and hurry escape... If you can’t get away, remember to tell the children what things they can and can’t see...”
Hearing Takuya Kurosaki’s words, Shuta Katagiri and Junichi Ishida’s expressions drastically changed.
Had they reached a dead end?
Even Lord Kurosaki was starting to despair?
Junichi Ishida lowered his head with a cold sneer.
“Heh...”
“Since when have our Quincy life and death been dependent on the kindness of Shinigamis?”
Takuya Kurosaki frowned. “Junichi!”
“Don’t worry, Lord Kurosaki. I’ll convey it down. However, apologies, Lord Kurosaki. This time, I’d rather die in battle than live on clinging to hope from the Shinigamis...”
Upon finishing, Junichi Ishida placed his right hand on one of the spikes of the Soul Dispersal Glove on his left hand and fiercely twisted—
Snap!
Boom!
Soul Dispersal Gloves were the most powerful equipment the Quincies had researched over the past few centuries. Usually, Soul Dispersal Gloves would absorb ambient spirit particles from the air and store them within the glove.
When a Quincy snapped off one of the spikes on their Soul Dispersal Glove, the stored spirit particles would completely discharge, enhancing the Quincy’s control over surrounding spirit particles and allowing them to simulate a portion of the Quincy final form “Vollständig” for a brief period.
However, after using the Soul Dispersal Glove, the Quincy would suffer immense damage to their soul locks from overloading their spirit particle control, ultimately losing their powers.
Right now, vast quantities of spirit particles swirling around Junichi Ishida as the spirit bow on his hand transformed from its spirit particle state into a physical white-colored bow—Arc Sparrow!
Junichi Ishida, who had utilized the Soul Dispersal Glove, now possessed might even surpassing Takuya Kurosaki.
Nocking an arrow, Junichi Ishida aimed at Yoruichi Shihōin in white haori and Jūshirō Ukitake up ahead before releasing his shot.
***
“Kill!”
“Everyone hurry escape!”
Although he had his back facing the village, with Ailin’s current abilities, he could still clearly hear the sounds of fighting from within the village.
In the end, the Quincies still declined. Even if Junichi Ishida, Shuta Katagiri, and even Takuya Kurosaki had all activated Soul Dispersal Gloves to push their strengths to Captain-tier levels, it didn’t change their fate one bit.
Junichi Ishida - killed by Yoruichi Shihōin. Shuta Katagiri - killed by Kisuke Urahara. Takuya Kurosaki - also fell by Jūshirō Ukitake’s blade.
With the deaths of the three most powerful Quincies, the remaining Quincies were completely helpless before the assault of the elite Shinigamis.
