Byakuya: "I have never seen Captain Unohana take action, so I don't know how strong she is. I only know that she is one of the longest-serving captains in the Seireitei. When my grandfather took over as captain of the Sixth Division, she had been in office for a long time."
"Captain, when did the previous captain take office?" Lianci couldn't help but ask while pricked up his ears.
"A thousand years ago!"
Renci: “…”
Ichigo: “…”
What a long history!
"Put aside your arrogance. You who have just learned Bankai are merely qualified to step onto the stage." Byakuya poured a basin of cold water on the two of them, making them sober up a lot.
Looking at the three people who were in doubt, Duke said in a serious tone: "I have roughly figured out your level. This farce ends here. It's time to end it."

"To my surprise... just one hand..."
"How can the life truths summarized by our predecessors be called messy? You are still young and don't understand such profound truths. In a few years, you will know that salted fish is actually quite good."
So fast, I can’t see!
"Because sometimes if you don't try hard, you don't know what despair is."
Ichigo was furious: "What a mess this is."
Baiya and the other two were listening when suddenly their pupils shrank and they discovered with horror that Duke had disappeared from their sight.
The protagonist is really a fuckable thing!
"As expected of the head of the Kuchiki family, you have integrated the two scattered soldiers in such a short time. You did the right thing. Facing an enemy with overwhelming power, the number of people on your side is very important to fill the gap." Duke raised his sword and swung it lightly. The pressure from the blade cut a straight surface on the ground. "But, Captain Kuchiki, only three people may not be enough."
Like a broken crescent moon on a mirror, it was shattered by the spiritual pressure surrounding Duke and disappeared into the air, quietly without a trace of fireworks.
The sword flashed and a gorgeous tiger leaped out, its sharp claws tearing through the wind and air, and with overflowing sword energy, it rushed forward into the tsunami of petals.
"Baboon Bone Cannon!"
"Your sword is crude and full of flaws. It is really not worthy of being used in a formal occasion. Let me teach you what real swordsmanship is!" Duke did not give Ichigo time to calm down. The lazy temperament in his body disappeared, and he slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, the sword force that soared into the sky shattered the clouds in the sky.
The silver-white light suppressed the pink sea of flowers, and the violent collision of spiritual pressure created a huge shock wave. The waves of the sea of flowers fell one by one like wheat being cut. With a deafening roar, the white tiger tore through the endless petals and rushed in front of Byakuya and the other two. "Crescent Moon Sky Strike!"
"I understand, Captain. I will cover you from now on." The smugness that Renji had when he used his Bankai disappeared, replaced by solemnity and caution.
Bai Zai smiled faintly. If the three of them fought alone, they would only hinder each other and would not be able to perform to their full potential. Now they were able to fight.
The black spiritual pressure on Tensa Zangetsu suddenly erupted, and under Ichigo's slash, it turned into a crescent-shaped sword energy. The blood-red light covered half of the sky, smoke and dust exploded at any time, and the swift slash reached Duke in the blink of an eye.
When the dust cleared, Duke walked out and dusted himself off. He said to himself, "I should be able to explain to the captain that I'm so dirty. After all, the battle was so intense that I was even knocked away."
The turbulent earth was like a hundred beasts galloping, and the entire Shuangji Hill was roaring and shaking. Byakuya and Renji stared at it in a daze. After the smoke dispersed, a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in front of them, with spider-web-like cracks spreading one after another. Ichigo's eyes turned white, and he lay motionless in the middle of the pit. His fingertips trembled from time to time, proving that he was still alive.
"He is too strong. We can't let him make the first move." Lianci raised his hand lightly, and the ferocious bony snake head aimed at Duke, trembling slightly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, almost launching a fatal blow.
In terms of destructive power alone, the black crescent moon was more than ten times stronger than before, and its spiritual pressure was also incomparable, but it was still not refined enough. Duke's swordsmanship had reached perfection, and in his opinion, the black crescent moon had many loopholes, and the timing was also unreasonable.
"Nothing is difficult in this world as long as you are willing to give up! Persistence does not necessarily lead to success, but giving up is definitely very comfortable! Young man, I understand all these principles. Let me remind you that talking nonsense is the job of the yellow-haired guy next door, not for you." Duke forcefully fed Ichigo two mouthfuls of chicken soup, and his spiritual pressure suddenly surged: "Let me tell you why people should work hard..."
The snake head pushed Duke forward, plowing deep pits along the way, and finally crashed into the mountain behind. The huge force caused the mountain to shake, and large pieces of gravel and soil fell, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Rocks shattered, thick smoke rose, and after a strong wind swept through, half of the Double Killing Hill collapsed, leaving only the other half of the mountain intact. Ichigo and the other two panted heavily, coughed twice, and swung their swords to cut through the smoke and dust around them. They were all covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed.
"The Wind Style of the God of Innocent Light————White Tiger!"
“You have to try to know whether it works or not. Those who don’t try are doomed to fail from the beginning.” The flower petals around Byakuya surged like waves, telling of their owner’s inner grievances.
"What did you say?"
"Success!?" Byakuya was confused. What had just happened? Snap, snap, snap...
Before they could get into a defensive stance, Byakuya and Renji heard a muffled voice in their ears and turned around hastily to see Duke pressing a hand against Ichigo's face.
Ichigo also nodded. The previous beating had made him lose his temper and he completely realized his own position.
The next second, time resumes.
Duke glanced coldly and took a step forward with his right leg: "Hold your breath, adjust your breathing, and don't blink, because..."
"That's not befitting of your status..." Duke was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the noble role model had a rebellious side, or perhaps he was infected by Ichigo.
"It worked!?" Renji was confused. Is my Bankai so awesome? "It worked!?" Ichigo was confused. It turns out I'm such a wimp!
"Be careful, both of you stay still and protect yourselves." Before he could make any sword moves, Bai Ya could feel the piercing sword intent piercing his skin. He immediately controlled the boundless sea of flowers to flow down, trying to extinguish the sword intent that was rising into the sky in front of him.
"Let your heart be as transparent as darkness, let your moves be as clear as light, and let your body be compatible with nature like a shadow. Listen to all sounds, and cut off everything with the swift wind of God..." Duke seemed to be talking to himself.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. The two of them clearly felt the whistling sound of the air that was half a beat slower, and Ichigo's eyes widened in shock through the gap between Duke's five open fingers.
Boom————
Boom————
"That white tiger, is that the ability of his Zanpakuto?" Ichigo asked in surprise.
With a loud bang, the snake head as big as a carriage hit Duke, but it was not so much a direct hit as it was Duke standing still without dodging.
Ichigo was about to explode with anger. How could he, who was full of positive energy, accept Duke's twisted logic? His eyes narrowed, and the black spiritual pressure on his Zanpakutō shone with a bloody dark light.
Where is he? "...The battle is over in an instant!" The second half of the sentence sounded, so cold that it made people feel cold all over.
Duke gently raised the new and full moon, placed it on his left abdomen, and stroked the blade with his palm. The sword intent that rolled like the tide condensed in an instant, and he suddenly opened his eyes the next second.
"No, it's pure swordsmanship..." Baiya's expression froze as he looked at the figure slowly walking out from behind the thick smoke.
"Kage no Kage, Senbonzakura Kageyan!"
"He's right, nothing is impossible. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as..." Ichigo agreed with Byakuya's words and was about to express his feelings when he was rudely interrupted by Duke.
"Crescent Moon Sky Rush——"
Duke shook his head slightly, and pressed a white, bony hand on the black crescent, preventing it from moving forward. At Ichigo's shocked expression, he tightened his fingers and crushed the crescent into pieces with a snap.
Boom——————
"You are the most troublesome guy, please be quiet for a while!" Duke stood beside Ichigo. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and emitted a golden light. A thick snake-like chain wrapped around Ichigo, wrapping him up layer by layer, leaving only an orange head outside.
The Sixty-Three Ways of Binding: Binding with Chains!
"It was so fast that I couldn't see at all..." Lianci's Adam's apple moved, and when he came to his senses he found that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Kuchiki Byakuya's face turned pale, and his five pale fingers clenched tightly: "Renji, attract his attention. Success or failure depends on the last blow."
