BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
A roar echoed under the night sky.
Rukia Kuchiki stared in shock at the two figures before her.
She saw the two humans simultaneously erupt with astonishing spiritual power, their azure spiritual pressure shooting towards the sky like a blue pillar of light.
It was impossible to see what was happening inside, and completely unknown whether they had succeeded or not.
At this moment, dozens of large Hollows charged from a distance, greedily eyeing the blue pillar of light.
"ROAR!!!"
The roars of dozens of large Hollows shook the heavens.
Rukia's expression changed, and she shouted, "Ye Yun, Ichigo Kurosaki, be careful! Those large Hollows are heading for you!"
Just as her voice fell, she felt the Zanpakutō in her hand lighten.
Swish!
Swish!
Two figures flashed past her.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The dozens of oncoming large Hollows instantly exploded.
Their bodies were hacked to pieces, falling to the ground with a clatter and disappearing into black spirit particles.
And all of this happened in just three short seconds.
"This is impossible..." Rukia stared in shock at the two figures before her.
"Yo, Rukia!"
Ye Yun, now clad in a black Shihakushō, turned his head and greeted Rukia with a smile.
Ichigo Kurosaki was also wearing a black Shihakushō. He looked at his new clothes and the sword in his hand in amazement and asked Rukia excitedly, "Shinigami, have I become a Shinigami just like you?"
Rukia had no intention of answering their questions. She stared at the two in shock.
"Two of them... both became Shinigami..."
Saying this, she looked down at her own hands and her now-white clothes.
"And they took all of my Shinigami powers."
"No, that's not right..."
Rukia shook her head, looking at Ichigo. "Only he took my spiritual power."
She then turned to Ye Yun.
"His spiritual power... is all his own..."
She felt even more shocked by this, completely unable to comprehend what kind of monsters these two humans were.
"And... why are their Zanpakutō so big!?"
Rukia stared gravely at their swords.
In the Seireitei, the size of a Shinigami's sword signified their strength, as it represented their spiritual power.
And the Zanpakutō of the two before her were both huge.
Ichigo Kurosaki's Zanpakutō was nearly two meters long, almost taller than his own body.
As for Ye Yun's Zanpakutō... Huh!?
Rukia blinked her eyes, her gaze following the blade of Ye Yun's sword up towards the sky, and then... she couldn't see the tip.
"Ichigo, have you ever seen an eighty-meter long sword?"
Ye Yun brandished the Zanpakutō in his hand, feeling like this one slash could split the heavens.
Ichigo looked on with a face full of envy. "Forget eighty meters, I've never even seen a ten-meter sword. Why is your Zanpakutō so big?"
"Eighty meters!!!"
Rukia's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Ye Yun's blade in disbelief.
"How can there be an eighty-meter Zanpakutō!?"
As far as she knew, there had been millions of Zanpakutō in the history of the Seireitei, but one this large had never appeared.
Even Captain Sajin Komamura of the 7th Division of the Gotei 13 didn't have a Zanpakutō that exceeded twenty meters.
"Just how strong is this guy's spiritual power!?"
Rukia stared blankly at Ye Yun's back.
"Ichigo, let's have a contest to see who can kill more," Ye Yun said, shouldering his eighty-meter greatsword and eagerly aiming at the remaining large Hollows in the distance.
Naturally, Ichigo had no reason to refuse.
Just like that, the two treated the previously terrifying large Hollows as hunting targets, continuously swinging their Zanpakutō.
Swish!
Ichigo obliterated a large Hollow with a single slash.
He turned his head to look.
Ye Yun swung his eighty-meter long sword, like a silver dragon streaking across the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Seven large Hollows that couldn't dodge in time were directly blasted apart.
Ichigo's eyes widened instantly. "Ye Yun, that's cheating! How am I supposed to win with a sword that big?"
Ye Yun swung the large sword in his hand and laughed heartily, "Then you can handle the ones on the ground. My Zanpakutō isn't really suited for that anyway."
And so, with the two of them fighting at full strength, the three hundred-plus large Hollows were cleared out in an instant.
They even had enough energy left to bicker after the battle.
Ye Yun said smugly, "I killed a total of two hundred and thirteen."
Ichigo gritted his teeth. "I killed a total of ninety-three, but that's because the Hollows were all in the sky. Otherwise, I might not have lost."
"No matter what, a loss is a loss. Tomorrow morning..."
Before Ye Yun could finish speaking, he saw Ichigo's body lurch forward.
"Hey!!!"
Ye Yun quickly supported Ichigo and turned his head to look at Rukia.
"Rukia, what's going on?"
Rukia, leaning against a telephone pole, forced herself to stand up and said, "It's nothing. It's just his first time becoming a Shinigami, and his body hasn't adapted yet. He'll recover after a night's sleep."
Speaking of which, Rukia looked at Ye Yun with a peculiar expression.
"I really don't know how you managed to adapt."
Of course, it's because my spiritual power is formidable enough... Ye Yun thought to himself as he carried Ichigo into the bedroom.
Just as he came out, he saw Rukia spray Yuzu and Karin with an unknown substance. The two sisters groggily collapsed.
Worried that Ye Yun might misunderstand, Rukia waved the spray can in her hand and said, "Don't misunderstand. This spray is harmless. It will only temporarily alter their memories. Otherwise, they might have nightmares."
Ye Yun nodded slightly and didn't object.
After all, tonight's experience was hardly pleasant.
"Then I'll be going..."
Rukia gritted her teeth and prepared to drag her severely injured body away from the Kurosaki Clinic.
"Wait."
Ye Yun quickly ran over, looked at Rukia helplessly, and without caring whether she objected, directly picked her up in his arms.
"Don't be stubborn at a time like this. Just tell me where you're going."
Rukia's face turned beet red. After struggling a few times to no avail, she gave up, merely muttering, "Arrogant little brat, how old do you think I am? These are just minor injuries..."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ye Yun agreed casually. "So, where are you going?"
Rukia said awkwardly, "Urahara Shop!"
