Ichigo charged out of the ranks and engaged in battle with NaNaNa Najahkoop.
No matter how Ichigo attacked, he couldn't touch NaNaNa's body, which made him somewhat anxious.
At this moment, a large number of Soldats appeared from the Silbern, blocking the elite division members' advance.
Meanwhile, other members of the Sternritter also appeared, engaging in combat with the captains and vice-captains.
Bazz-B VS Toshiro
BG9 VS Soi Fon
Cang Du VS Gin
Mask De Masculine VS Kensei
Gremmy Thoumeaux VS Zaraki
Meninas McAllon VS Yoruichi...
"Former captain of the Third Division, Ichimaru, you've already left Soul Society, so why bother coming here to die?"
Cang Du had short black hair and slender eyes.
"You never know." Gin said with a smile.
"With that tiny Zanpakuto of yours, you can't possibly break through my defense."
Cang Du was very familiar with Gin's Shikai and Bankai, and thus was quite confident.
"We'll see."
"Shoot to kill, Shinso!"
Gin's Zanpakuto blade instantly extended a hundredfold, piercing towards Cang Du at an incredibly fast speed. However, Cang Du neither dodged nor flinched, taking the blow head-on.
Seeing the blade tip stop at the surface of his skin, Cang Du smiled.
"You probably don't know my ability. My Schrift is I—Iron, which allows me to turn my body into iron. No one can kill me except His Majesty."
"Oh? Is that impressive?" Gin said dismissively.
He swung his Zanpakuto, and the extended Shinso lashed out like a whip towards Cang Du, who still ignored Gin's attack.
"Snake Claw!"
Cang Du's Quincy Cross on his wrist transformed into an iron claw, accumulating a large amount of Reiatsu, and released a snake-like slash towards Gin.
Gin used Shunpo to dodge the attack and retracted his Zanpakuto.
Realizing that Shikai couldn't harm Cang Du, Gin immediately used his Bankai without hesitation.
"Bankai: Kamishini no Yari!"
Seeing Gin use Bankai, Cang Du smirked, took out his Medallion, and absorbed the Bankai in the blink of an eye.
But in the next second, Cang Du noticed something was wrong, his body was rejecting the Bankai.
Cang Du looked at Gin and questioned, "What did you do?"
Gin wasn't in a hurry, quietly waiting for the Hollow poison to take effect.
"You didn't think we'd come without any preparations, did you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bankai returned to Gin.
"So what? Even with Bankai, you can't do anything to me. Your Bankai merely increases destructive power and speed, right?" Cang Du accurately stated the ability of Gin's Bankai.
"It seems you know me quite well."
Kamishini no Yari pierced out at a speed difficult for the naked eye to catch. A white flash appeared, and Cang Du's body flew backwards.
A few trickles of blood flowed from Cang Du's chest. "You can break through my defense, but this level is far from enough to kill me."
Gin's Zanpakuto had only pierced slightly into Cang Du's body with its tip.
Gin still maintained his snake-like smile.
His Zanpakuto once again pierced into Cang Du's chest.
"I told you it's useless, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cang Du felt something strange.
His body instantly dissolved, his entire upper half disappearing completely.
Cang Du, dead!
Gin murmured, "Kamishini no Yari's ability isn't just speed and destructive power."
The true ability of Gin's Bankai was poison.
The blade can turn into ash the instant it extends and contracts, and a cell-dissolving poison appears inside the blade. When it stabs and retracts, it can leave this ash inside the opponent's body, dissolving their body in an instant.

While Gin instantly killed the overconfident Cang Du with an information advantage, Kensei on the other side was having a tough time.
Kensei released his Bankai, "Tekken Tachikaze," and Mask De Masculine also unleashed his Vollständig.
After activating Bankai, Kensei could infuse the explosive power of his Shikai into his fists, striking the enemy with explosive force upon impact, causing devastating damage within their body.
Kensei initially had the upper hand. After a few punches, Mask De Masculine was in agony and completely lost consciousness.
However, under the 'motivational speech' of James, the bald child accompanying Mask, he incredibly stood up again, and even his injuries were fully healed.
Mask could recover from his injuries again and again, while Kensei was covered in wounds.
He noticed James behind Mask and wanted to take care of him first, but Mask blocked him.
In fact, Kensei's judgment was basically correct, but only half-correct.
James and Mask were one entity. As long as one of them existed, they would not completely die.
Furthermore, James could 'cheer on' Mask, strengthening his physique and attack power.
Even if he killed James, as long as Mask was alive, James's body could split into multiple individuals, and at the same time, James's cheering power would be strengthened.
Only by utterly annihilating James, leaving no trace of his bones, could Mask's power growth be limited.
Or by killing both of them in one decisive blow.
Thus, Kensei, a captain of a hundred years and master of 'Hollowfication,' was once again suppressed by his opponent.
"Go, Super Hero!" James cheered for Mask.
"Let's end this with a flourish! Star Kick!"
Mask bared his white teeth, leaped into the air, concentrated all his power into his leg, and kicked Kensei flying.
Kensei's eyes were bloodshot. He felt as if he had been hit by a train, and the intense pain almost made him lose consciousness.
However, Mask's attack was not over.
"Star Headbutt!"
Mask instantly appeared next to Kensei, grabbed his head with his hand, and delivered a heavy headbutt.
This heavy blow made Kensei see stars, completely losing all will to resist.
"Star Murder Punch!"
A star-shaped emblem appeared on the back of Mask's right hand, further boosting his strength, and he unleashed countless punches at Kensei, his fists leaving afterimages in the air.
Under this rain-like assault, all of Kensei's bones were shattered, and his body slumped powerlessly to the ground. He was on his last breath, clearly only taking in air, not letting it out.
"Star Flash!"
Mask fired a golden Reishi beam from the five-pointed star emblem on his forehead, which pierced through Kensei's chest, leaving a star-shaped hole.
Kensei's Reiatsu completely vanished!
James rang a bell, signaling the end of the battle.
Mask raised his hands high, striking a pose.
"Who should I go for next?"
