Chapter 1514 - 37: Monster

Chapter 1514: Chapter 37: Monster

The golden spiritual pulse spreads around, and the buildings within Jingling Court are instantly shattered, turning into their initial spiritual form.

The spiritual pulse spreads at an extremely fast speed, expanding from the First Squad’s station with unstoppable force, soon affecting the nearby Fifth and Third Squads.

As the spiritual pulse sweeps through, over a dozen Soul Reapers on the street have no time to dodge, instantly submerged within it, their bodies shattered and decomposed by the spiritual pulse.

If viewed from above, one would see a golden ring rapidly expanding, leaving nothing in its wake.

Boom!

Flames shoot up into the sky, with an elderly man, full of muscle, standing within it, his Zanpakutō burning with fierce flames.

The soaring flames block part of the spiritual pulse, but the range of the spiritual pulse is too vast; even someone as strong as Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni cannot completely block it.

The orange flames and the golden spiritual pulse counterbalance, eroding each other, while the internal spiritual particles gradually cancel out.

Just as Yamamoto Genryūsai prepared to charge into the spiritual pulse, a figure flew out from within it.

Yamamoto Genryūsai raised his hand to catch the figure flying out from the spiritual pulse, blood splattering onto him.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The small figure in Yamamoto Genryūsai’s hand let out a series of dry coughs, her body covered in fine scars.

"Bai Ye... in the central area, it was him."

Soi Fon spoke while coughing up several mouthfuls of blood; as an assassin-class Soul Reaper, her constitution wasn’t strong. Her survival in the spiritual pulse was largely thanks to Sister Hua blocking in front of her.

"Is that so."

Old man Genryūsai was neither angry nor surprised; the matter had been settled, and reducing casualties was now the priority.

Yamamoto Genryūsai stepped forward, the spiritual pulse surged from ahead, clashing with the flames of Flowing Blade Like Fire, creating explosive sounds.

At the center of the spiritual pulse, Su Xiao still maintained a posture with hands clasped, sustaining the energy pulse as it expanded outward.

Five golden spheres of spiritual energy floated around Su Xiao, resembling the shattered form of those high-purity spirit particle balls.

Upon closer examination, one would find that the ground below Su Xiao was covered in varying patterns, actually part of a large-scale alchemy array, with Su Xiao at its center. These five high-purity energy balls provided the energy consumption during its operation, while the spiritual pulse was generated by thousands of low-purity spirit particle balls.

To maintain this alchemy array, Su Xiao must remain at its center; when those five energy balls around him disappear, the entire array will become ineffective.

Su Xiao was, of course, aware of Yamamoto Genryūsai charging into the spiritual pulse; this old man was completely monster-level. As Squad Captain, Soi Fon was affected by the spiritual pulse, not only being pushed away but also suffering serious injuries, narrowly escaping death, but this old man charged straight in!

"Woof!"

Bubu Wang barked a loud cry; this time it couldn’t stay calm like an old dog because it had already seen Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni.

Blue Steel Shadow energy surged out from Su Xiao’s body, quickly transforming into Proud Song form, compressing into a handleless blade.

The energy blade stabbed downward, finally piercing into Hinamori Momo’s back. Being in the center of the spiritual pulse, Hinamori Momo was not affected by the pulse.

It’s not just Hinamori Momo; another person remained untouched by the spiritual pulse — Matsumoto Rangiku. This was repaying a favor to Gin Ichimaru, as when Su Xiao set up spirit particle balls in Jingling Court, Gin Ichimaru had given free rein.

"Ugh, ugh~"

Matsumoto Rangiku, tied with spirit lines and struggling, found herself unable to resist once the spiritual pulse expanded; caught in this spiritual storm, she couldn’t even manage an Initial Release on her Zanpakutō, easily defeated by Bubu Wang.

"To disobedient brats, I am never lenient."

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni slowly advanced within the spiritual pulse, his bare torso with white whiskers swaying from his chin, eyes fixed on Su Xiao. This was the difference: Matsumoto Rangiku could barely resist within the spiritual storm, but Yamamoto Genryūsai managed to push through the spiritual pulse to arrive. The spiritual storm and spiritual pulse were entirely different; the former was a turbulent center of the array, the latter a means of killing enemies.

Su Xiao naturally saw Yamamoto Genryūsai approaching, his left arm stretched forward, a spiritual energy sphere floating to his palm.

"Fission."

As Su Xiao spoke, a golden beam shot from his palm towards Yamamoto Genryūsai.

Yamamoto Genryūsai’s ability to move slowly within the spiritual pulse was astonishing, yet evading this spiritual beam was nigh impossible.

If Yamamoto Genryūsai Shikai Zanpakutō, Su Xiao would definitely die here. But releasing Shikai Flowing Blade Like Fire in a high-purity spiritual region wouldn’t just level a few squad stations — half of the Soul Society could be razed to the ground.

Boom!

Flames clashed with high-density spiritual particles, but Yamamoto Genryūsai did not retreat even one step, enveloped by flames. Even from tens of meters away, Su Xiao could feel the heat scorching his skin.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Su Xiao’s hand waved, and the remaining four spiritual energy spheres around him floated towards Yamamoto Genryūsai. As Yamamoto Genryūsai moved to strike these suspicious objects with his blade, he immediately stopped.

Not only did Yamamoto Genryūsai not destroy these four spiritual energy spheres, but he used flames to envelop them. Once enveloped, the momentum of the spiritual pulse’s outward expansion around Su Xiao slowed.

These four spiritual energy spheres served as energy suppliers for the large-scale alchemy array, fundamentally as ’batteries.’ Who knows what happens if ’batteries’ are destroyed via brute force; even Su Xiao isn’t certain, but interrupting these ’batteries’ while continuously consuming their internal ’charge’ will quickly halt the spiritual pulse array.

After tossing out the four spiritual energy spheres, Su Xiao signaled Bubu Wang, indicating that it should handle things here, to meet later in the forest within Hollows Street.

Su Xiao took out a massive object from the Adventure Team Storage Space; its size was too cumbersome for personal storage space.

Crack. Crack.

Su Xiao quickly adjusted this massive object, completely alloy-made, taking less than two seconds before leaping into it.

"Mechanical Girl, if this unreliable thing you made doesn’t work, I’ll skin you when we’re back."

As Su Xiao spoke, flames surged towards him, with light burns appearing on his skin. Before the flames reached, he pressed a button to activate the machine.

Sss~

The activation button was a fiery red.

Bang!

Sounding like a big hammer smashing into a sheet of iron, Su Xiao zoomed away, surrounded by a counter shield, breaking through layers of airwaves and disappearing into the sky.

Flames spread, instantly melting the alloy mechanism into molten metal.

The spiritual pulse gradually settled, Su Xiao’s location unknown, and Yamamoto Genryūsai had vanished too. Clearly, this stubborn old man had gone after Su Xiao.
