"Speaking of which, this is my first time encountering a Menos Grande of your caliber. Since that's the case, I'll get a little serious!"
Kensei Muguruma first helped the heavily injured and unconscious Kuna Mashiro to a corner of the wall, then stepped out with a Shunpo, arriving on the eaves in front of Yekawa, looking down at him from above.
He then rotated his neck and twisted his wrists, looking ready for a big fight.
"Whoosh"
Kensei Muguruma charged forward, holding a Zanpakuto that resembled a dagger, with wisps of hurricane wind entwined around its blade.
Facing the dagger that came with the hurricane, Yekawa did not draw his sword. Instead, with threads of lightning arcing around his right hand, he caught it bare-handed.
"Boom!"
The moment the lightning arcs and hurricane winds intersected, a strong Reiatsu fluctuation surged from between them, devastating the surrounding streets and buildings.
Seeing his attack fail, Kensei retreated.
Due to the environmental restrictions of the Human World, he could not go all out in order to protect its integrity as much as possible.
"Damn it, I can't fight as I please in the Human World!"
Upon hearing Kensei Muguruma's words, Yekawa immediately scoffed:
"That's easy!"
"Clap!"
As Yekawa snapped his fingers, a radius of dozens of meters around him and Kensei was enveloped by a dark golden Reiatsu, and a square lightning barrier instantly formed.
"Four Directions Thunder World!"
This barrier was adapted from the Shinigami clone's Four Directions Realm. Although it lacked the amplification and weakening effects of the original Four Directions Realm, it could still isolate Reiatsu and amplify the power of lightning.
Originally, Yekawa planned to take the unconscious Ginjō Kūgo and leave the area directly. Since Kuna Mashiro was the one who first attacked and injured Ginjō Kūgo, Yekawa had already been very merciful by not killing Kuna Mashiro.
But then Kensei Muguruma, who couldn't tell the difference between major and minor characters, jumped out, making Yekawa laugh in anger.
"I want to see how many tricks this combat power measuring unit has!"
Yekawa looked at Kensei Muguruma's irritatingly smug expression, growing a little impatient.
And Kensei Muguruma, seeing Yekawa actively open a barrier, still spoke arrogantly:
"Menos Grande, you actually voluntarily opened a barrier! You will pay the price for your foolish actions!"
"Noisy!"
Yekawa was completely fed up with this former Ninth Division captain, who was both weak and pretentious.
At this moment, Kensei Muguruma raised the dagger in his hand and chanted:
"Bankai — Tekken Tachikaze!"
Immediately after, a Reiatsu storm rose within the Four Directions Thunder World.
Upon closer inspection, Kensei Muguruma's appearance had changed drastically. He held a serrated blade in each hand, his arms were wrapped in treads, and the treads on both arms connected behind his back, which was also covered by peculiar armor.
"Whoosh!"
After his Bankai, Kensei Muguruma's speed and Reiatsu were greatly enhanced. He charged directly in front of Yekawa and unleashed a powerful punch.
"Boom!"
"My Bankai will infuse the hurricane into the opponent's body infinitely at the moment of contact with the fist. Feel the pain!"
With one punch, Yekawa was sent flying to the edge of the barrier.
Facing the Bankai attack from the measuring unit Kensei Muguruma, Yekawa did not overestimate himself and still activated his Thunder Armor.
And under the defense of the Thunder Armor, that seemingly world-destroying blow was easily neutralized by the dark golden Thunder Armor. It only made Yekawa feel a slight tingling sensation throughout his body.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the sensation Yekawa had when he used a massage gun on his chest in his previous life.
"Is that all you've got?"
Yekawa looked at Kensei Muguruma with a mocking expression.
And seeing that Yekawa was completely unharmed after taking his full-power Tekken Tachikaze head-on, Kensei Muguruma's expression became serious.
"Zzzzt!"
But Yekawa had no intention of wasting any more time. He instantly Shunpoed behind Kensei Muguruma with a Sonido, then unleashed a punch of his own.
"Bang!"
Kensei Muguruma was sent flying directly to the edge of the barrier, like a green onion planted upside down.
"Ugh!"
As a mouthful of old blood spurted out, Kensei Muguruma looked at the humanoid Menos Grande above him in disbelief. He truly hadn't expected that his proudest Hakuda would fail to harm the opponent in the slightest, yet he himself was injured by a single punch.
Kensei, refusing to believe it, once again accumulated Reiatsu. Then, from the armor behind his hands, a large amount of hurricane winds mixed with Reiatsu surged forth, attacking Yekawa.
"Ora Ora!"
Kensei Muguruma unleashed dozens of punches at Yekawa's chest, but Yekawa merely covered his body with Thunder Armor, allowing Kensei Muguruma to attack relentlessly.
After dozens of punches, Kensei Muguruma stopped his assault, not because he had broken Yekawa's defense, but because he found that his hands were being damaged by the lightning power due to direct contact with Yekawa's armor.
Looking at his scorched hands, Kensei Muguruma was filled with disbelief!
"Such a powerful Hollow, I underestimated you!"
But in the next instant, his expression returned to normal.
"Although I don't really want to use this power, against a being of your level, I absolutely must!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kensei's scorched right palm, still in his Bankai state, gathered Reiatsu and wiped it across his face. A pale white mask with six holes instantly appeared on Kensei's face.
In an instant, Kensei Muguruma's Reiatsu surged dramatically, skyrocketing from the bottom-tier Third Class Reiatsu level to among the top performers of Third Class Reiatsu.
"Bankai plus Hollowfication? Interesting!"
In Yekawa's impression, Kensei Muguruma's Hollowfication and Bankai seemed to never have been used simultaneously. Now, however, he was using both Bankai and Hollowfication to confront Yekawa, clearly indicating that Yekawa was a very troublesome opponent for Kensei Muguruma.
But it still had no effect.
With a wave of his left hand, a dazzling lightning whip appeared out of thin air, directly binding Kensei Muguruma, who was about to charge forward, completely and securely.
"Zzzzt!"
"Ah!"
Feeling the violent lightning power surge through the lightning whip and rampage within his body, Kensei Muguruma unleashed his Reiatsu with all his might, attempting to break free from the lightning whip's restraints.
But no matter how much he burst forth, the lightning whip wrapped around his body remained unmoving.
"How could this be?"
Just as Kensei Muguruma struggled intensely, Yekawa suddenly sensed several powerful Reiatsu approaching his location.
"Could it be the Visoreds?"
And so, Yekawa decided not to waste any more time. With a wave of his hand, Kensei Muguruma was directly flung away, crashing into the barrier of the Four Directions Thunder World!
"Zzzzt!"
With a flash of dark golden lightning arcs, Kensei Muguruma was completely scorched and immediately released his Hollowfication and Bankai states.
The Four Directions Thunder World, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly dissipated, leaving only the unconscious Kensei crashing heavily to the ground. Yekawa, meanwhile, activated his invisibility ability and left the area with Ginjō Kūgo.
A moment later, several figures arrived using Shunpo, helping up Kuna Mashiro and Kensei Muguruma, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Leading them was a man with yellow bangs.
