Chapter 165: Bai Ya is a good student
In the original plot, Asai Koiji was also reminded by outsiders to realize this situation, and finally knew the true name of his sword slashing sword, and obtained the power of the swastika by the way.
Ethan suddenly reminded Asai Koiji that he wanted to do a small experiment: as long as the master of death correctly shouted the name of the slashing knife, he could directly obtain the corresponding power;
Through the incident of Asai Koji, Ethan understood that as long as Asai Koiji correctly shouted the Slashing Knife Solution, he could obtain the power of the real swastika - but now he has no way to control this part of the power well, which seems to prove that there is a reason why the Slashing Knife does not give him the real Sword.
Looking at the Aisani Koiji, who liberated the Twin Kings Snake Tail Pill, it took a small amount of time, and after he was barely able to control his swastika, he ran out impatiently to find the sadistic behavior, and Ethan didn't stop it.
Time is running out, and Ichigo Kurosaki is making one last effort: he wants to raise his strength a little more.
However, he was embarrassed to find that since he liberated the Heavenly Lock Moon Cutting State that he didn't know if it was a swastika or not, his strength had not continued to improve, as if he had reached a bottleneck.
Ethan knew what was going on, but Ichigo Kurosaki had already made his choice, so Ethan's advice to him was: Don't continue to improve your strength in the short term, let's do what you need to do!
After several battles, Kurosaki Ichigo had a hunch that this would be the last battle in the Corpse Soul Realm, and the confident Kurosaki Ichigo finally arrived at the Twin Dead in time to block the Fire Phoenix that was about to execute Rukia.
Since the execution started smoothly and Kuchigi Hakuya is also standing below, it proves that Koiji Sanui, who set off first, failed to rescue Rukia - not to mention the current Kuchigi Hakuya who has received training and guidance from Ethan, even the strength of Kuchigi Hakuya in the original plot is not something that Koiji Sani, who has just mastered the unraveling, can fight against.
The current strength of Aisani Koiji is too immature, and he was defeated without even seeing Kuchigi Hakuya's swastika, which made him very depressed.
Kuchigi Hakuya obviously showed mercy to his subordinates, because Asai Koiji looked badly injured, but in fact he didn't hurt the point, and he was alive again after a simple treatment.
By this time in the development of the plot, the events that happened in various parts of the Lingling Court had come to an end.
Aizen Yusuke no longer hides himself, and although the phenomenon of fake death he created before was broken by Hibanya Winter Shirou and Uno Hanari one after another, he didn't mind it.
At this point, there was no longer any need for him to hide his true colors under a mask, and he could reveal his true ambitions to all the Grim Reapers.
At this time, the Thirteenth Team of the Imperial Court also fell into internal divisions: some of the Grim Reaper sensed the anomaly, or simply discovered Aizen's conspiracy, so they began to do some things, such as Kyoraku Harusui and Ukitake Shishiro, who were aware of the anomaly, and prepared to prevent this execution, while Hibanya Fuyushiro had a confrontation with Aizen head-on - or was unilaterally beaten;
The other part of the Shinigami didn't know the situation yet, and the group of Shinigami, led by the captain Yamamoto Shigekuni, was very dissatisfied with the two disciples who suddenly 'rebelled', and the commotion caused by the invasion of the brigade suddenly turned into an internal fight among the Thirteenth Team of the Imperial Court.
Shigekuni Yamamoto faced two disciples, Kyoraku Harusui and Ukitake Shijuro;
The broken bee was led away by the night of the Sifeng Courtyard;
In the distance, Kenpachi faced the left formation of Komamura, the captain of the seventh team;
One by one, they all found their opponents, and Ichigo Kurosaki, who was left in place, and Hakuya Kuchigi fought, preventing Hakuya Kuchigi from pursuing Koiji who took Rukia away.
Ethan, on the other hand, hid on the ruined shelf and watched the two fight.
The other battles are almost unchanged from the original story, and these two are directly influenced by Ethan, who is curious about what kind of changes will occur in this battle?
In fact, the battle between Kuchigi Hakuya and Kurosaki Ichigo has changed very much from the original plot, and it can even be said that it has completely deviated.
Although Ethan only instructed Kuchigi Hakuya for less than ten years, he laid a very solid foundation for Kuchigi Hakuya.
And before he left the Corpse Soul Realm, he specially left a detailed cultivation manual for Kuchigi Hakuya, as long as Kuchiki Hakuya cultivates according to the content of the manual, then his strength will continue to improve steadily - for the god of death with a long life, it is very difficult to continue to make steady progress.
Calculating the time, it has been a hundred years since Ethan left the Corpse Soul Realm, and in the past hundred years, Kuchigi Hakuya has honestly been cultivating according to the manual left by Ethan, and his strength is ......
Anyway, it's not something that Ichigo Kurosaki, who has only been training for a few days, can compare, even if it's useless...... After all, Kuchigi Hakuya also opened the hang this time!
At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo started taunting again, and after using the Sky Lock Moon Slashing Mode, he let Kuchigi Hakuya also use Swastika.
"Swastika, do you think I need to use a swastika to defeat you?"
Not only did Kuchigi Hakuya not use the swastika, but he didn't even use the first solution anymore, but fought with Kurosaki Ichigo purely with his swordsmanship.
As a result, Ichigo Kurosaki was embarrassed to find that Hakuya Kuchigi, who no longer relied on Senbon Sakura to fight, seemed to have become more difficult to deal with!
He also found that when he was fighting Kuchigi Hakuya, he occasionally had the illusion that he was fighting against Ethan, and the other party occasionally showed some fighting habits similar to Ethan.
It's not just Kurosaki Ichigo who feels this way, but Kuchigi Hakuya also found this, although it's frizzy and not very good at imitating, but those little tricks in battle are indeed somewhat similar to that person.
"Who have you been getting advice from lately?"
Kurosaki Ichigo's strength has improved a lot, and it has only been a month since he saw it, and he has changed from an ordinary person who can't even see his movements clearly to an enemy who can barely fight with him, even if his talent is amazing, it is difficult to have such a big improvement, so someone must have instructed him.
"This ......"
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know whether to answer this question or not, he already knew that Ethan used to be Kuchigi Hakuya's teacher, but that one seemed to be a fugitive from the Corpse Soul Realm at the moment?
Although he didn't say it, Kuchigi Hakuya still guessed it.
"From your reaction, you know who he is. ”
“......”
Kuchigi Hakuya suddenly withdrew the knife into its scabbard.
"I'm curious, didn't he emphasize the importance of the foundation when he instructed you to practice?"
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know what Kuchigi Hakuya meant by talking to him about these things suddenly, so he replied casually: "This...... Because the time is too short, it is more about actual combat training...... However, at the beginning, I practiced the basics. ”
"yes, I see...... No wonder ......"
"What's the wonder?"
Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to see a burst of red light burst out of Kuchigi Hakuya's body, and before he could wonder if it was his own delusion, the Kuchigi Hakuya in front of him had already disappeared.
"No wonder your foundation is so poor!"
The sound from behind him was accompanied by severe pain, and Kurosaki Ichigo had tried his best to dodge, but he was still smashed on his body by an attack like a hammer, and then he was hit and flew out.
Flying in mid-air, he wanted to turn his head to look at Kuchigi Hakuya, but the place where there should have been someone was empty, but instead a shadow flashed diagonally above him, and another heavy punch smashed the flying self directly to the ground.
With a loud bang, the solid rocky ground was smashed into a crater by the thump, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Waiting for the smoke to clear, Kurosaki Ichigo was lying in the center of the pit spitting blood, while Kuchigi Hakuya was in a half-squatting position, looking down at Kurosaki Ichigo lying on his back.
"Your control over your own power, a rough mess...... If it weren't for some combat habits, I really can't believe you've ever gotten his advice. ”
The people who have been instructed by Ethan, whether it is Yaichi or Kuchigi Hakuya, the biggest feature is that he has a strong ability to control spiritual power, and the way he uses spiritual power is also different from most of the Grim Reaper, it can be said that Kuchiki Hakuya has embarked on a completely different path to becoming stronger than in the original plot.
Ten times the gravity room cultivation or something, he completed it not long after Ethan left, and in the past few decades, he has learned all the contents of the manual left by Ethan.
Now, he doesn't rely on his own slashing knife like ordinary death, even if he abandons the slashing sword, only relying on the strength of the spiritual pressure that he has worked hard to improve, and the various uses of spiritual power, he can still beat most captains.
For example, the move just now, which can instantly increase his combat power by multiplication, was also learned from the manual, and he would choose this move to defeat Kurosaki Ichigo, precisely because he found out that Kurosaki Ichigo had received Ethan's guidance.
"Are you trying to prove something?"
Ethan, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't know what Kuchigi Hakuya was thinking now, maybe Kuchigi Hakuya didn't think about it that much, he just thought that he could defeat Kurosaki Ichigo faster.
But...... Ichigo Kurosaki lay down, which didn't mean the end of the matter, because Aizen appeared in a very timely manner.
"Oh?"
Looking at Ichigo Kurosaki, who fell to the ground, and Hakuya Kuchigi, who was not injured at all, Aizen pushed his glasses: "It's worthy of Captain Kuchigi!"
"Aizen ......" Kuchigi Shiraya looked at the blue dye that suddenly appeared, only stunned for a moment, and then saw Rukia Kuchigi who was captured next to him, he suddenly thought of something: "All this is your conspiracy?"
"Oh, it's really worthy of Captain Rottenwood, and he reacts so fast!"
