"Oh dear, Ito Fourth Seat is truly wicked, letting that Adjuchas go just like that!"
"To capture such a powerful Adjuchas, I sacrificed many subordinates. I even planned to use him as a scapegoat for killing nobles!"
Kazumichi Asayuki looked in the direction Wonderweiss and Fleur had departed, her tone full of regret!
"Oh, so the Kasumioji Clan Head admits that she deliberately imprisoned this Adjuchas and then intentionally leaked his aura to attract his companions to rescue him, and finally, in the chaos, killed the other nobles, is that it?"
Ito Makoto looked at Kazumichi Asayuki with a half-smile.
"Ito Fourth Seat, I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Isn't it that during the hunting party, an unknown Menos Grande suddenly broke in, causing all the nobles participating in the hunting party to die, and Kasumioji Clan Head Kazumichi Asayuki, in conjunction with the Eleventh Division's Fourth Seat, Ito Makoto, killed all the invading Menos Grande to avenge those wrongfully dead nobles?"
"Hahaha, Ito Fourth Seat, what do you think of my suggestion?"
As she spoke, the strange silver-white Bakuyoto in Kazumichi Asayuki's hand wriggled, and countless mercury tentacles surged from the ground, piercing Ito Makoto.
However, just as Kazumichi Asayuki's lips curled into a smile, thinking she had succeeded, she found that the pierced Ito Makoto was merely an afterimage.
The true Ito Makoto had already used Shunpo to appear behind her and slashed out with his sword!
At the same time, she felt a powerful tremor spread throughout her body, instantly making her feel numb and hindering her movements.
Simultaneously, the mercury surrounding her also began to vibrate, creating ripples on its surface like water waves.
"These mercury tentacles actually absorbed most of my tremor power!"
Ito Makoto was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected these strange mercury tentacles to be able to withstand even his tremor power!
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
Furthermore, the spiritual pressure Kazumichi Asayuki was currently unleashing was no weaker than Ito Makoto's, who had borrowed thirty percent of his main body's spiritual pressure at this moment; in fact, it even surpassed his!
Therefore, the tremor power had very little effect.
Since Ito Makoto needed to constantly maintain this Four Directions Realm, which stretched for several kilometers, to obscure outside vision, the consumption of spiritual pressure was enormous, so he had to finish the fight quickly!
Fortunately, the inherent suppression and amplification effects of the Four Directions Realm were not diminished by the large size of the barrier. Kazumichi Asayuki's strength, speed, and spiritual pressure were all suppressed by thirty percent, while Ito Makoto's speed and strength were amplified. Therefore, even though she had gained Squad Captain-level spiritual pressure through the Bakuyoto, she was still being suppressed by Ito Makoto!
Just as this slash was about to sever Kazumichi Asayuki's head, her body was instantly enveloped in mercury.
Seeing this, Ito Makoto immediately retreated. According to his previous observations, as long as he was within a foot of these mercury-like substances, he would be affected, as if time had been paused!
"Hado Number Fifty-Four - Haien!"
Ito Makoto pointed, and a disk-shaped flame flew from his fingertip towards Kazumichi Asayuki. However, the mercury around her body surged again, forming a shield that completely blocked this Hado.
"I never thought that the power I gained after so much painstaking effort, by having my Bakuyoto devour so much noble true blood, still couldn't defeat you!"
"Ito Fourth Seat, you are so strong! You're truly a captivating man!"
From behind the mercury shield, Kazumichi Asayuki's voice drifted out eerily.
"Doesn't the Bakuyoto devour the host's spiritual pressure? Why did you use the Bakuyoto to kill so many noble members?"
As they fought, Ito Makoto and Kazumichi Asayuki conversed like old friends.
"I didn't expect Makoto-kun to know so much about the Xia Da Lu Family's secrets! However, my Bakuyoto is quite special; besides devouring the host's spiritual pressure, it also likes to devour the true blood of nobles!"
"I certainly don't want to be devoured myself, so I can only trouble them!"
As she spoke, Kazumichi Asayuki manipulated the sky-full of mercury into tentacles that rushed towards Ito Makoto.
"Soumetsu Three Styles - Mustard Net!"
A large black net appeared out of thin air, binding all the continuous mercury. Seizing this opportunity, Ito Makoto used Shunpo, raised Soumetsu, and appeared before Kazumichi Asayuki, slashing down fiercely.
Just as Ito Makoto was about to succeed, a snow-white python suddenly shot out from Kazumichi Asayuki's left sleeve, biting Ito Makoto's right shoulder with lightning speed.
In an instant, Ito Makoto suddenly felt a chill spread throughout his body!
But Ito Makoto had no intention of letting her go; after all, he came from Kenpachi's squad. Since he had already made his move, there was no reason to return empty-handed!
So, enduring the discomfort in his shoulder, he directly exchanged a blow, slashing out!
A blood blossom instantly exploded on her shoulder. Just as Ito Makoto continued to exert force to cut her in two, those annoying mercury tentacles had already escaped the Mustard Net and began to defend.
Ito Makoto reluctantly had to retreat!
The mercury, like tentacles, flowed towards the wound on her shoulder, and in an instant, the shoulder that Ito Makoto had severed was restored to its original state. However, the torn soul reaper uniform was not restored, revealing her fair, fragrant shoulder.
And the white python that had bitten Ito Makoto returned to her left hand, transforming into an Asauchi.
"Makoto-kun, don't forget, I am also a Shinigami!"
"This is my Zanpakuto - White Dragon Fish Kiss!"
"How does it feel?"
Ito Makoto turned his head, looking at the two hideous snake fangs marks on his left shoulder, and the chilling sensation that spread throughout his body!
"A Zanpakuto truly is the manifestation of a Shinigami's spiritual power. Your sword suits you very well, Kasumioji Clan Head!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ito Makoto's words, Kazumichi Asayuki not only didn't get angry but temporarily stopped her attack and chuckled:
"Makoto-kun, I'll take that as a compliment!"
"This commotion is so great, and we won't be able to determine a winner anytime soon. I estimate Squad Captain-level individuals will be arriving soon. How about we both cease fighting for now?"
After saying this, Kazumichi Asayuki actually put away both her Zanpakuto and Bakuyoto, walking directly in front of Ito Makoto, completely ignoring Soumetsu resting against her neck!
She allowed Soumetsu to cut her fair, slender neck, and threads of fresh blood flowed back along the blade, dripping onto Ito Makoto's hand!
"Makoto-kun, don't be nervous, I'm helping you detoxify!"
Kazumichi Asayuki completely ignored the profusely bleeding wound on her neck and walked straight over.
Then, she stood on her tiptoes, and to Ito Makoto's astonished gaze, she kissed his right shoulder, which had been bitten by her Zanpakuto!
"You crazy woman, what exactly do you want?"
"Being wounded by my White Dragon Fish Kiss will carry a cold poison! Although Makoto-kun, you can slowly heal yourself with your Squad Captain-level spiritual pressure, it will take an extremely long time, and my own saliva is the only antidote to this cold poison!"
As Kazumichi Asayuki's voice fell, Ito Makoto felt the chilling sensation pervading his body instantly dissipate.
Once his body returned to normal, Ito Makoto immediately used Shunpo to distance himself from her. Ito Makoto had no desire to provoke such a snake-like beauty.
"Whoosh!"
Countless mercury flowed from Kazumichi Asayuki's sleeve, surging towards her neck. The profusely bleeding wound instantly healed!—
"Makoto-kun, can you tell me how you learned the secret of the Bakuyoto?"
Kazumichi Asayuki gazed into Ito Makoto's eyes, asking affectionately.
Ito Makoto wouldn't be misled by her appearance and simply said indifferently:
"Guess!"
