Bang!!
Amidst the tremendous collision, Genji was sent flying again, but Ishikawa Katori and Nishijin Ori's expressions both turned grim.
Ishikawa Katori's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the two great axes in Nishijin Ori's hands shatter directly.
Is he that tough?
Although once Reiatsu becomes great enough, a Shinigami's battle becomes a contest of Reiatsu.
However, in the previous battles, the enemies Ishikawa Katori faced were basically those whose Reiatsu was comparable to his own, or slightly stronger, allowing him to completely compensate for the difference in strength with skill.
For example, the great villain Ishikawa Katori just killed, with similar Reiatsu, Ishikawa Katori could even easily kill him.
But facing an enemy whose Reiatsu was much stronger than his own, Ishikawa Katori truly realized the meaning of that statement.
I'm full of openings…
You can't break my defense!
I'm completely irrational…
You can't break my defense!
I'm just flailing wildly…
You can't break my defense!
…
Not being able to break his defense was one thing, but you also couldn't withstand a single punch from him.
"Uh, Wahhh~~"
Genji landed on all fours like a beast, his teeth becoming long and sharp, saliva constantly dripping from his mouth like a wild animal; if he previously felt more like a Shinigami, now he felt more like an utterly irrational Hollow!
He kept slapping the ground with his hands, letting out roars.
"Roar~~~"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, Genji burst forward, charging directly towards Ishikawa Katori.
Ishikawa Katori's eyes flashed; in such a dangerous situation, he actually felt a bit fortunate.
Thankfully, just in case, he had already sent Uzuki to the Shiba household.
The trouble he had stirred up this time was truly quite significant.
That being said, Ishikawa Katori did not sit idly by; instead, as the opponent charged, he activated Shunpo and quickly fled in the opposite direction of the West 38th District.
It was basically impossible to shake off Genji; the irrational Genji was instinctively using Byakuya Kuchiki's flash steps, moving much faster than Ishikawa Katori.
However…
Ishikawa Katori had no intention of shaking him off.
His goal was merely to lead the opponent away; in his current state, he clearly couldn't be allowed to get any closer to the residential area.
Ishikawa Katori didn't actually care about the lives of the residents, but people prefer familiar environments, and five years of experience in the West 38th District had shaped who he was today.
If possible, he still hoped to preserve this familiar environment.
The two figures, one chasing and one fleeing, disappeared into the outskirts of the West 38th District in the blink of an eye.
Nishijin Ori frowned, instinctively wanting to give chase, but after pursuing for a distance, he found that… the two had already vanished from his sight.
Is he looking for death?
Although Genji had lost his rationality at this moment, his Reiatsu strength was far more formidable than when he had last seen him, and with Ishikawa Katori's strength, it was impossible to defeat him; in this situation, he even led Genji away at a speed Nishijin Ori couldn't match.
Other than 'looking for death,' Nishijin Ori couldn't find any other descriptive words.
Nishijin Ori glanced at the battlefield where Himura was located in the distance, then gritted his teeth and pursued in the direction Ishikawa Katori and the other had left.
…
The scenery in his eyes blurred, and the wind whistled in his ears.
Ishikawa Katori could clearly feel the pressure from behind getting closer and closer.
Feeling the pressure coming from behind, Ishikawa Katori chanted in a low, rapid voice, and at the moment the impact arrived, he suddenly turned around, crossing his hands in front of his chest.
"—Bakudo Number 39: Enkosen!"
Clang~~
The sharp claws collided with the circular shield, emitting a clang of metal; the fully chanted Enkosen almost immediately began to crackle upon contact with the claws, and after nearly a second of stalemate, it finally reached its limit.
With a loud bang, the Reiatsu shield formed by Enkosen dispersed into Reiatsu, and the beast-like claws continued their relentless assault, striking towards Ishikawa Katori's chest.
Bang!
One tree after another shattered, and Ishikawa Katori was uncontrollably sent flying backward, his hands desperately digging into the ground, creating ten deep gouges, sliding for dozens of meters before finally stopping.
Such power.
Raising his head, a fierce glint flashed in Ishikawa Katori's eyes, and he leaped into the air, just as a dark gray figure shot through the spot where he had been standing.
Bang, bang, bang…
Wherever the dark gray figure passed, all the trees shattered from the impact.
Then, Genji, enveloped in dark gray Reiatsu, hooked the ground with one hand, flipped his body, and swung a kick at Ishikawa Katori, who was still in mid-air.
A fierce glint flashed in Ishikawa Katori's eyes, and crimson flames erupted from his palm, but instead of striking Genji, his palm faced backward.
"Hadō #31: Shakkahō!"
Flames spewed forth, and Ishikawa Katori actually used the impact of this attack as support to twist his body in mid-air and swing out a kick of his own.
Bang!
With a dull thud, both of them retreated simultaneously.
Ishikawa Katori hooked the ground with his left hand and pressed his right hand against his distorted right leg, frantically operating Kaido, and his right leg quickly began to heal.
Almost as soon as they stabilized themselves, Ishikawa Katori and Genji, like two wild beasts, charged out simultaneously and collided again, crimson blood constantly splattering; all this blood belonged to Ishikawa Katori, and even with Kaido operating non-stop, the healing speed still couldn't keep up with the rate of injury.
But Ishikawa Katori couldn't stop; if he stopped, he would fall into the opponent's attack rhythm, and with such a vast difference in Reiatsu, falling into the opponent's attack rhythm would truly leave him powerless to resist.
Drops of blood were scattered by the clashing spiritual pressure between the two, and the spiritual pressure, like a blade, left pits and various shaped scars on the ground.
Large trees shattered one after another; wherever the two passed, whether it was trees or sand and stone, everything crumbled.
Boom!!
The heavy, deep roar and crisp shattering sounds mingled, making one's heart pound.
The stirred-up dust had just risen when it was scattered by the ensuing spiritual pressure.
Whoosh!
As the dust settled, a figure was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a mountain wall; the ten-meter-high mountain wall suddenly caved in, then exploded with a 'boom,' burying the figure within.
However, the next second, shattered rocks erupted, and Ishikawa Katori's figure reappeared under the sunlight.
However, at this moment, he was still covered in blood, his black work uniform completely torn to shreds, and his bare upper body was covered in fist marks and claw marks.
"Cough… cough, cough…"
Blood gushed from his mouth, and Ishikawa Katori felt everything in his vision become somewhat blurred; the gray figure roared continuously, as if celebrating the coming victory, or perhaps cheering for the feast it was about to receive.
Desperation!
