Chapter 595 The mission is over
Chapter 595 The mission is over
I learned a lot from the battles with Yoruichi and Hana, especially the battle with Hana. Except for not using Bankai, it was almost a real fight, with no intention of holding back. Many of the attacks were fatal.
However, the lack of Bankai left Yuuko somewhat uninformed.
I thought I would be able to experience the Bankai ability from Uesugi Shūjūrō, but it seems that it is just an increase in spiritual pressure level, and the attack method has not changed at all. It is still quite easy to understand.
This type of direct attack poses little threat to Yuko at present, especially since she is not a martial arts expert and only knows how to swing her weapon with brute force.
As long as this fighting style doesn't exceed Yuko's limits and remains within her reaction range, it won't be too troublesome to deal with. This also includes Sister Hua, who was previously pinning her down and hammering her.
After Yuko mastered the use of spiritual pressure, Hana-nee could no longer suppress her. The difference in their swordsmanship was not that great to begin with, and with Yuko's keen eye for judgment, she could now be considered a physical assassin.
Whether it was because of Uesugi Shūjūrō's cheating and forced increase in spiritual pressure, Ikuko didn't feel much pressure.
When Yuko's sarcastic words reached Uesugi Shūjūrō's ears, his face visibly flushed red.
“Damn it!!!”
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you, you woman!!"
Uesugi Shūjūrō's resentful voice kept escaping from his mouth. He tried to get up by using his intact right arm to support himself against the stone tablet, but because his limbs were cut, his arms and legs were covered in blood, making him look rather disheveled.
"You're not even worth as much as Ye Yi, so shut up."
Yu Zi looked speechless, casually twirled her sword, and sheathed it, clearly declaring the battle over unilaterally.
As she sheathed her Zanpakuto, the prisms scattered throughout the courtyard slowly dissipated into the air.
"Hey, you didn't say that on purpose because you heard me coming, did you?"
A faint, wistful voice sounded from the side.
Yoruichi appeared on the roof of the ruins, arms crossed, looking at the people in the courtyard.
That posture...
It was Yoruichi Shihouin...
Uesugi was sweating profusely.
As a veteran Shinigami, Uesugi Don had a good understanding of the 13th Division and recognized Yoruichi at a glance from her signature short purple hair and golden eyes.
Yuko paused for a moment, then her expression revealed a perfectly timed hint of surprise: "Isn't this Captain Yoruichi?"
"You came just in time; I was almost killed."
"Heh." Yoruichi chuckled twice, glancing coldly at Uesugi Shūjūrō, who was struggling to get up from the ground. "I've recovered too, and I'm actually able to be compared to this kind of trash."
Yu Zi spread her hands: "There's nothing I can do. Among the people I've fought, besides you, it's Sister Hua. I can't find any other comparable people."
Kisuke Urahara did spar with her, but that was just a simple instruction on how to use Ikuko's spiritual pressure; it didn't really count as a fight.
You can't compare him to Byakuya, can you?
Ye's eyelid twitched: "Are you trying to say that I'm not as good as that woman?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Yuko's face as she replied with difficulty, "Maybe, probably, perhaps... it's a little less."
Yoruichi rolled her eyes at her, thinking that after hesitating for so long, this guy would at least give a plausible answer.
"Yoruichi Shihouin..."
Uesugi Don't's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, completely losing all will to resist.
I didn't expect even the captain of the second division to come.
"Oh my, it seems our Captain Yoruichi is quite well-known." Yuko looked at Yoruichi with a playful expression.
Yoruichi clicked her tongue in annoyance. She had only called him by his name in a normal way, but why did it sound so different in this idiot's mouth? She felt quite ashamed.
Yoruichi looked at Uesugi Don with a cold expression: "Surrender. Everyone else should have been arrested by now."
Uesugi let out a long sigh and collapsed completely to the ground.
Even Yoruichi Shihouin has come; the Uesugi family... is doomed.
"what!!!"
At this moment, Uesugi Shūjūrō suddenly exerted his strength, roaring hysterically. The black and red spiritual pressure on his body became increasingly viscous, and blood began to spill from his facial features.
"What's going on?" Yoruichi frowned.
"I don't know, it seems that after licking something on the ground, his spiritual pressure suddenly surged."
Yuko originally intended to point to the liquid on the ground, but it had been completely messed up by the commotion Uesugi Shūjūrō had made, and the garden was no longer recognizable.
"It's amazing that you don't have a single wound." Feeling the insane spiritual pressure within Uesugi Shūjūrō's body, Yoruichi looked at Ikuko's condition and could only describe it as completely unharmed. "You really are a monster."
Judging from the behavior of Uesugi Shūjūrō and his son, they had absolutely never witnessed Ikuko's regenerative abilities.
Yuko smiled slightly: "Well, a guy who only knows how to fight with brute force is no match for me."
Yoruichi pointed at Uesugi Shūjūrō: "So, this guy is yours?"
At this moment, under the surge of violent spiritual pressure, Uesugi Shūjūrō managed to suppress his severely injured body for a brief period of time and forcefully stand up.
His body was enveloped in a violent, black and red spiritual pressure, and coupled with the blood flowing from his facial features, he looked quite frightening.
"drink!!!"
Uesugi Shūjūrō glared at Ikuko with resentment, let out a roar, and then charged towards Ikuko, brandishing his stone tablet-shaped Zanpakutō. With each step he took, large amounts of blood oozed from his face and spilled onto the ground.
The earth was trampled and cracked, and the violent spiritual pressure brought with it a strong wind, rushing towards Yuko with enormous potential energy.
Faced with this scene, Yu Zi simply said without changing her expression, "It's just the last gasp of his strength. His spiritual structure is already collapsing rapidly."
Ye Yi's expression changed slightly. Could this guy be...?
The impact, carrying immense potential energy, hurtled towards Yuko, who stood motionless, showing no intention of dodging.
"what!!!"
Uesugi Shūjūrō roared with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to smash Ikuko to pieces. However, when he was less than two meters away from Ikuko, his body seemed to suddenly lose control and veered sharply to one side.
boom! !
Uesugi Shūjūrō lost control of his body and fell headfirst to the ground. The immense momentum carried his body several meters across the ground, kicking up pebbles before he crashed into the wall.
His eyes rolled back, and dark red blood flowed from his eye sockets. The violent spiritual pressure gradually dissipated, and he completely lost consciousness.
Yu Zi glanced sideways: "See? He took care of himself."
"Shujuro!" Uesugi shouted in surprise and ran towards Uesugi Shujuro.
Yoruichi clicked her tongue: "That's quite a convenient ability."
Yuko had previously taught her study methods; it's not that she didn't know them at all, but rather that she hadn't found the right approach.
It can see the internal structure of the human body like it has X-ray vision, and even see the operation of spiritual particles clearly.
In this way, aside from the special abilities of the Zanpakuto, I'm afraid that once I'm familiar with other Kido techniques, I'll be able to see through them at a glance, even without chanting.
The use of Kido is divided into the direct attack Kido, the binding type Kido, and the healing Kido.
To maximize its effectiveness, Kido requires incantation. Therefore, when the strength is equal, Kido can only be used as a support ability and it is difficult to use Kido for attacks.
Unless one masters advanced techniques of using the Ghost Path, namely, attacks that forgo incantation and can be performed at a near-instantaneous level.
But whether it's chanting or instantaneous casting, the essence of the Ghost Path is to attack by calling upon the spiritual power within the body, and the operation of spiritual power in different Ghost Paths will inevitably be different.
The abilities of Zanpakuto are different; each person's abilities are different. However, once you become familiar with them, Yuuko can still judge when the other person will activate their Zanpakuto ability.
That's some serious talent for cheating.
Soon after, the others also arrived at the scene.
"Lord Yoruichi, the Uesugi family members are all here." Behind them, a dozen or so members of the Uesugi family, including servants, were chained together.
With Ikuko having dealt with all of the Uesugi family's high-ranking combatants, the tasks for the others were not particularly difficult.
When they saw the mess on the ground, they couldn't help but gasp.
They knew the fight was fierce when Zhou Julang released his spiritual pressure, but they didn't expect it to be this intense.
Is this what captain-level combat is like?
Yuko's gaze swept over the Uesugi family members before quickly shifting away.
Yoruichi noticed this scene and gestured with her chin toward the unconscious Uesugi Shūjūrō and the disoriented Uesugi Tō, saying:
"Collect the team."
"Yes!" The crowd quickly put the two, who had lost their resistance, into shackles.
The moment the shackles were put on, Uesugi Don's spiritual pressure weakened to an extreme level.
Is that a torture device used to restrict spiritual pressure?
Yu Zi glanced at him sideways.
The powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Rukongai attracted the attention of the patrolling Shinigami. After Yoruichi's intervention, the Uesugi family members were quickly and successfully escorted back to Seireitei.
What will happen to them?
Watching the Uesugi family members being taken over by other squads and escorted to prison to await trial by the Central 46, Ikuko asked abruptly.
"What? Do you think it's cruel?" Yoruichi walked up to Ikuko and asked in return.
Yuko lowered her eyelids slightly: "No, I just don't find it interesting."
"Who told you to come along?" Yoruichi rolled her eyes.
Yuko did not refute.
Yoru paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yuko, you're really cute. You seem so mature, yet you're still bothered by this kind of thing."
Yuko was taken aback. Wasn't this guy stealing her lines?
However, Yu Zi showed no sign of being at a disadvantage, and smiled slightly: "I know this even if you don't say it."
Yoruichi's lips twitched. This guy really has a thick skin.
She opened her mouth, about to make a sarcastic remark, when she heard Yu Zi say calmly, "This has nothing to do with being mature or how much experience one has."
"For some people, no matter how much they see these things, they cannot remain calm."
“To put it simply…” Yuko paused, then turned to look at Yoruichi, “kind people don’t become numb or lose their anger because bad things happen all the time.”
Yoruichi's lips twitched again: "Why do I feel like you have such a thick skin?"
"Thank you."
"...I wasn't praising you."
I'll take that as a compliment.
"6."
……
"They'll probably be executed." After a moment of silence, Yoruichi shrugged. "You've seen it yourself, those kinds of things, if left unchecked, will quickly cause big trouble."
"So, the Seireitei can actually conduct its own research without any problems?"
Ye Yi's expression changed slightly, then she sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have agreed to let you go."
"The technology for soul modification is still in its infancy. I only heard about it from Kisuke not long ago."
“Yes, I know, so I’m not angry,” Yuko said calmly. “I believe that Urahara’s research has its own bottom line.”
"This kind of thing, which is not yet fully developed and has been stolen by others, is indeed very dangerous."
Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Yuuko on the back in a carefree manner: "You scared me to death. I thought you were going to be upset with Kisuke."
Yuko turned her head expressionlessly: "Is it possible that I'm annoyed with you?"
Yoruichi's eyes widened: "Huh? What happened to me?"
Would it kill you to explain this to me?
Yoruichi retorted, "You look so stupid, who knows if you'll overthink things if I tell you anything more."
"Ghosts won't."
"You..." Yoruichi's lips twitched slightly, "I am speechless."
"Let's go back. Next, I plan to pursue a doctoral degree in the art of demonic cultivation."
"What? What did you say?"
"Nothing, what I mean is, I want to trample you underfoot in the realm of demonic arts as well."
"...Have I ever told you that you're asking for a beating?"
"Yes, but they're all dead."
"...You're cursing me, aren't you! You absolutely are!"
"Yoruichi, you're not afraid I'll surpass you, are you?" Yuuko narrowed her eyes. "Or is it that Yoruichi is actually not very good at Kido?"
"Who! Who said I'm not good at it?!" Yoruichi instantly bristled. "Don't you know that Shunko is something I developed by combining Hakuda and Kido?"
……
"The thirty-third of the broken path, the blue fire falls!"
A bright blue fireball of spiritual energy formed in Yu Zi's palm and shot out into the distance.
Yoruichi stood there, looking completely bewildered, muttering to herself, "Why... it's only been an hour..."
After returning from his mission, I slept in late and then taught her for an hour at the dojo.
One hour? !
It's not even about learning it; it's about completely abandoning chanting altogether!
Why? ! !
"Well, as long as you understand the rules of spiritual energy operation and then imitate them on your own, it's not too difficult." Yuko calmly withdrew her hand and gave Yoruichi a boastful look.
Yoruichi was so angry she almost exploded.
Clearly, this guy's composure was an act.
This is clearly a show of defiance against itself!
