Chapter 106: Creating the Five Elements Barrier, Kurosaki Ichigo Encounters a Strong Enemy

Most of these materials came from powerful souls from ancient times.

In the past, Rukongai and Seireitei were much more dangerous than they are now.

The reason they are so safe now is entirely due to the efforts of the first generation of the Gotei 13.

The first generation captains were all full of martial virtues, all of them ruthless, and they killed many people.

For example, the first generation Kenpachi, Unohana Retsu, would go to Rukongai to kill people for fun.

Those terrifying villains were like weeds in a field in the hands of Unohana, who cut them down one after another.

After the first generation captains killed a lot, those who had the ability to threaten Seireitei were basically eliminated.

The wolfman clan like Komamura Sajin chose to sincerely hide from the world because they were afraid of being killed.

After countless battles, Old Man Yamamoto gained a great reputation and scars.

The Tsunayashiro family made a lot of money.

It's a pity that they only know how to be misers and have no idea of the true value of these treasures.

In the hands of Uehara Shiroha, five precious materials were glittering, their light flowing, changing, and mysterious.

These five materials represented the five forces of gold, water, wood, fire, and earth.

Combining the Mind Gem, Unlimited Blade Works, and the Shinigami Kidō, he slowly integrated these five forces into one and evolved them to a higher level.

This was inseparable from his insights and imagination from his previous life.

Uehara Shiroha was ready to gather all his trump cards to create a unique set of barriers.

Because the people in the Soul Society were too difficult to kill, the sealing barrier was a very important thing.

The power of the sealing barrier was also very strong, and sometimes it could even play a decisive role.

For example, in the defense of Karakura Town, the flame barrier of Old Man Yama trapped the Aizen trio; the huge crystal of the Soul King Palace could even seal the body of the Soul King, thus creating the wedge of the three realms.

Urahara Kisuke's barrier to seal Hogyoku Aizen and the [Blood Oath Seal] to seal the "Five Great Royal Guards'" Bankai were all very remarkable powers.

During the Thousand-Year Blood War, even Ise Nanao specifically developed a Kidō barrier to seal Haschwalth.

As a teacher, Uehara Shiroha naturally could not fall behind.

With many trump cards, he successfully developed a powerful Kidō barrier called [Five Elements Barrier].

Although the current barrier was not perfect and there were still many areas that needed to be improved, he had high hopes for this set of [Five Elements Barrier].

Because this set of barriers had infinite possibilities.

At this time, Uehara Shiroha continued to perfect the Five Elements Barrier in his hand, while releasing his observation Haki to pay attention to the situation on Kurosaki Ichigo's side.

To improve strength, you can't stop watching the show.

Near the Senzaikyū (Palace of Penitence), Ichigo Kurosaki, Ganju Shiba, and Hanatarō Yamada were walking quickly forward.

Suddenly, there was a subtle sound of bells and a deep, rough voice in the distance: "Finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Before the three of them could react, something strange happened!

Boom!

A silent explosion broke the sky, and an unimaginably huge spiritual pressure swept over, like mountains and oceans, indestructible and endless.

The air solidified instantly, and Ichigo and the others solidified with it.

It's not that they didn't want to move, but that they couldn't move and dared not move.

At this moment, each of them seemed to have a blade on their neck.

Although they couldn't see the invisible blade, they could feel it clearly.

In such a situation, of course they dared not move.

"This spiritual pressure..." Ichigo Kurosaki didn't expect that the enemy this time would be so strong.

However, his performance was considered good among the three.

He just had difficulty breathing and was temporarily immobilized.

Hanatarō Yamada next to him was sweating profusely, breathing with difficulty, and looked like he was about to die.

No wonder he performed so badly.

Originally, Hanatarō Yamada joined the Fourth Division because of his weak fighting will and became a medical support staff member.

The spiritual pressure sweeping in from afar was too terrifying. The powerful spiritual pressure that was fierce, bloodthirsty, extremely violent, and full of hostility was too strong for non-combatants.

Ichigo Kurosaki and Ganju Shiba could barely stand it, not to mention Hanatarō Yamada.

Realizing the horror of this spiritual pressure, Ganju Shiba touched the sweat on his forehead and exclaimed:

"It feels like being soaked in blood. How many people has this guy killed to have such spiritual pressure? Ichigo, the person in front is not an ordinary person!"

"Be careful!" At this time, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was acting as the vanguard, released his spiritual pressure and stood firmly in front, protecting the two people behind him.

The three continued to move forward with difficulty.

Then the crisp sound of bells rang again, and a tall figure landed in front of them: "The person with orange hair and the weapon looks the same as Ikkaku said, I found you..."

The voice of the person who came was low but hit the heart directly, as if it was a wail from bloody hell.

Ichigo Kurosaki, the strongest of the three, did not hear the bell at all, nor did he notice when this person appeared.

And with the appearance of this imposing figure like a hill, the three of them immediately felt like they were in a sea of blood and corpses, unable to move at all.

The powerful spiritual pressure pierced through the bodies of the three people like a sharp blade.

For a moment, the three of them envisioned the scene of themselves being disemboweled by a sharp blade.

However, all this was an illusion.

It was just because the spiritual pressure of the person who came was too terrifying that it caused mental disorder.

Even so, Hanatarō Yamada was unable to support himself.

He tried desperately to say the name of the person in front of him.

But the words could not come out at all when they came to his lips, because he was too scared and didn't even have the strength to speak.

After struggling for a few moments, he still fell to the ground weakly.

He had reached his limit a long time ago, and it was not easy to hold on until now.

Seeing Hanatarō Yamada fall to the ground, Ganju Shiba reacted quickly, dragging his heavy body to carry the other's thin body:

"Run, don't stop! Ichigo?"

He took a few steps, but found that Kurosaki Ichigo was motionless.

Ganju Shiba was puzzled. The newcomer was so powerful, should they fight to the end?

They came to rescue people, not to fight.

Anyway, Rukia was in the Senzaikyū ahead, wouldn't it be wiser to rescue her and run away?

"Ganju, like I said before, you take Hanatarō first, I'll hold him back! Rukia is in your hands, please!" Kurosaki Ichigo was on full alert, not even daring to turn around.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he couldn't.

Because he was closest to this beast-like man, he knew that the other party had locked onto him with murderous intent.

He had never thought that pure murderous intent could be so powerful, just as scary as a real sword.

"I am Zaraki Kenpachi, the captain of the 11th Division. You are the one who defeated Madarame Ikkaku, right?" Zaraki Kenpachi held the sword in one hand, looking excited:

"I've been looking for you for a long time, please don't let me down. Otherwise, I will chop you into pieces!"

He didn't even look at Ganju Shiba and Hanatarō Yamada who were running away.

Kusajishi Yachiru beside him also blinked her big eyes and looked at Kurosaki Ichigo cutely:

"My name is Kusajishi Yachiru, and I'm the vice-captain of the 11th Division. Nice to meet you!"

"It's you! Are you here to stop me too?" Looking at the fierce man with his hair standing up and a strange eye patch on his right eye, Ichigo Kurosaki also remembered Madarame Ikkaku's warning.

The other party said that their captain was the strongest and would come after him.

Only then did he understand what the so-called strongest meant.

He clenched Zangetsu in his hand and prepared to fight to the death.

Zaraki Kenpachi said impatiently:

"I see you don't understand at all. Don't make me repeat myself, I've already said that I'm here to fight you. Whether it's the two guys who just passed by or Rukia Kuchiki, I don't care whether they live or die. I just want to hack you to death, or be hacked to death by you!"

As he spoke, his expression and face became more ferocious.

He was very interested in Rukia Kuchiki's teacher, and wanted to have a good fight with him again.

It's just a pity that he couldn't find a chance to fight with him.

"I hope this orange-haired boy can hold on for a while longer and not end too soon!"

In the treasure house of the Tsunayashiro family, Uehara Shiroha had already noticed the two people who were confronting each other.

While playing with the five elements barrier that was constantly evolving and getting stronger, he thought with interest:

"Zaraki Kenpachi's spiritual pressure is slowly weakening. This guy is still the same, he will adjust his spiritual pressure adaptively according to the strength of his opponent. These two people are very different at first glance, but in fact, they are like looking in the mirror, they have a lot in common."

Both of them were "strong brick flying type" players, true "cleaver lovers"; they could only hack and slash when encountering things.

Kidō, tactics, had nothing to do with them.

Zaraki Kenpachi could do nothing but hack and slash, even his Shikai—he had not mastered it, and he even only held the sword with one hand;

Ichigo Kurosaki was even more amazing.

He could only use the horizontal slash and the "advanced horizontal slash" Getsuga Tenshō.

This guy was a quick-learning version of the Shinigami. It could not be said that he was not good at the Zanpakutō, but he could only say that he did not understand it at all.

Both of them were "cheating players" who appeared at the maximum level and then sealed themselves.

But there was a difference between the maximum level and the maximum level.

Zaraki Kenpachi's maximum level was only the maximum level in the category of Shinigami, while Ichigo Kurosaki's maximum level was the maximum level of the pseudo-Spirit King level.

Logically speaking, the battle between the two should be earth-shattering and the sky and the earth should collapse.

However, these two "powerhouse monsters" chose to seal themselves.

Zaraki Kenpachi chose to seal himself in order to better enjoy the fun of killing.

Moreover, this guy would habitually adjust his spiritual pressure to the same strength as his opponent when fighting; most of Ichigo Kurosaki's power was also in a self-limited state.

His combat power was even more prominent as a willful and fluctuating one. When his mentality was good, he crushed the captain, and when his mentality was bad, it was difficult to beat a vice-captain.

Zaraki Kenpachi chose to seal his strength because he was afraid that the enemy was too weak and the battle would end too quickly.

Ichigo Kurosaki wanted to live a peaceful life and couldn't bear to kill others.

So these two powerhouses started to "duel" with each other, and it even looked a bit like "chicken fighting"...

In response, Uehara Shiroha could only sigh: "What a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!"

...

Uehara Shiroha's side was full of harvest and calm, but other places in the Soul Society were in an uproar.

As the news of the "Night of Extermination" spread, the entire Soul Society was shaken.

After hearing the news, not to mention the vice-captains, the chief officers and the nobles, even the well-informed captains of the Shinigami were stunned. The Tsunayashiro family, one of the four great noble families, was finished. This was too shocking.

And it was destroyed by internal strife. This Tsunayashiro Tokinada was really a ruthless person!

What's more shocking was that Uehara Shiroha, a civilian from Rukongai, actually took charge of everything in the Tsunayashiro family.

It's like flipping the table and becoming the master. Overnight, he became half of their immediate superiors!

From then on, who dared to speak loudly in this noble street except the Kuchiki clan?

This was too incredible!

In this regard, all the captains were willing to admit defeat.

This guy was too much, who could compare to him?

This was not over yet, there was news from the captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu.

After various methods were used, it was proven that the corpse hanging on the wall of the Great Spirit Library of the East was neither a fake corpse nor a disguise, but Aizen's real body.

And he was dead!

The Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni was particularly furious when he received the news.

Overnight, one of the four great noble families was gone.

The captain of the Fifth Division of the Gotei 13 was also assassinated silently and hung on the wall for public display.

This was a slap in his face!

Too arrogant!

Fortunately, with the support of Uehara Shiroha who discovered the murderer of the genocide in time, the performance of the Gotei 13 finally did not hit rock bottom. The furious Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni almost personally killed the troublemaker.

In the end, he suppressed his anger and, together with Captain Hitsugaya Tōshirō who came to report, issued a Level One Martial Law.

He ordered the captains to take action immediately and to resolve the Ryoka Invasion Incident in the shortest possible time and to find out who killed Aizen.

Level One Martial Law is the highest level of special war order, which means that the Shinigami captains can release their Zanpakutō at any time, and even activate their Bankai in some core areas.

Because Level One Martial Law involves too many things, even the Captain-Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni must work with another captain to issue this order.

From this moment on, the entire Gotei 13 has completely entered a state of total war.

...

Although he had not received the news of Aizen's death and the first-level martial law order at this time, Kyōraku Shunsui was also ready to take action.

He brought the third seat of the 8th Division, Enjoji Tatsufusa, to intercept Yasutora Sado, one of the Ryoka.

It's not that he didn't want to bring Ise Nanao with him, but his vice-captain is grown up and can't be controlled by him anymore.

A long time ago, Ise Nanao was just like Uehara Shiroha, who only had the title of the Gotei 13 and stayed with the Gotei 13 all day.

At this time, Enjoji Tatsufusa, who was burly and had two pigtails hanging down to his chest, scratched his head and said, "Captain, do you need to be so serious about a mere Ryoka?"

He knew how unreliable his captain was. He usually avoided work as much as possible, why was he so active this time?

Moreover, although these Ryoka made a lot of noise, they only injured a few people and did not kill them.

Therefore, the current situation is not too serious, and it is far from the time for Captain Kyōraku to take action.

"If the situation continues, our Gotei 13 will lose face, and Old Man Yama will definitely be unhappy."

Kyōraku Shunsui, wearing a bamboo hat and a pink captain's haori, explained with a smile.

In his heart, he was really happy.

Because he already knew that Tsunayashiro Tokinada and the Tsunayashiro family were all exterminated.

And his good brother Uehara Shiroha became the final winner.

This was a triple blessing.

If the situation allowed it, he would have wanted to go to the flower street and hold a banquet immediately, and celebrate with his good brother for three days.

However, Kyōraku Shunsui had long realized that this Ryoka invasion was just a farce.

Someone wanted to use this to stir up trouble.

Before, he was worried that this was a conspiracy of Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

But now, Tsunayashiro Tokinada is gone, so everything is easier.

But just in case, he is still ready to solve the Ryoka invasion ahead of time.

After listening to Kyōraku Shunsui's words, Enjoji Tatsufusa said confidently:

"Captain, don't worry, I am the great swordsman Enjoji Tatsufusa. If that Ryoka really shows up, my Hōzan will teach him a lesson!"

"Then I will wait for your good news." Kyōraku Shunsui smiled.

He was not worried about the third seat of the 8th Division.

It was not because Enjoji Tatsufusa was so strong, but because he would run away if he couldn't beat the enemy.

This big guy who looked fierce was better at clerical work.

Usually he would throw some trivial paperwork to him.

Although he was not as good as Ise Nanao, he was also good enough to handle ordinary work.

Anyway, Kyōraku Shunsui himself was determined—I will never work in my life.

Why should I finish my work?
