Rukia lightly tapped the ground four times with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, leaving behind faint traces of white cold air.
After the fourth tap, Rukia spoke: "Next Dance: Hakuren!"
Boom!!
The white cold air instantly erupted, engulfing Roshi like an avalanche!
When the eruption of cold air ceased, the solidly frozen Half Tailed Beast Transformation Roshi came into view!
"What?!"
Ōnoki's eyes widened. He seemed completely unprepared for this outcome and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Such powerful ice! It can even freeze Roshi in his Half Tailed Beast Transformation state!"
Although he was shocked by the power of Rukia's ice, there was no worry for Roshi in his eyes.
After all, this was only Roshi's Half Tailed Beast Transformation.
After this, there was still the Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.
Of course, Ōnoki also didn't believe that the Half Tailed Beast Transformation Roshi would have no way to escape this freezing state.
Sure enough.
The ground beneath the frozen Roshi suddenly heated up!
The ground instantly turned into high-temperature magma.
In the next moment, the magma sprayed high into the air, resembling a Lava Pillar!
It enveloped the frozen Roshi.
A few seconds later, the Half Tailed Beast Transformation Roshi walked out of the Lava Pillar, completely unharmed.
With a step of his foot, a pool of magma appeared beneath Rukia's feet.
Rukia's expression changed slightly, and she swiftly used Shunpo.
Boom!!
The next second, the Lava Pillar erupted!
The heat wave rushing toward her slightly raised the temperature on Rukia's face, but it quickly cooled down due to the effects of Sode no Shirayuki.
And the Icy Domain shattered with a bang as Rukia left it!
Just as Rukia landed, another Lava Pillar rose up.
Having no choice, she could only use Shunpo to leave again.
But soon, several Lava Pillars rose up sequentially, following Rukia's movements!
"Tch, troublesome."
Rukia's eyes turned cold. After dodging yet another Lava Pillar, she pointed Sode no Shirayuki toward Roshi.
"Third Dance: Shirafune!"
As the words fell, moisture in the atmosphere instantly condensed on the tip of Sode no Shirayuki!
Just like the effect of Shinsō, the ice blade gathered at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki instantly elongated, before Roshi could even react.
It pierced straight through Roshi's chest!
"Shinsō?!"
In front of the projection screen, almost everyone exclaimed in shock.
This manifestation was simply too similar to Gin's Shinsō!
But they quickly realized.
This was not Gin's Shinsō.
Shinsō is a blade that truly possesses the ability to extend and contract.
Whereas Rukia's attack was merely another application of ice.
But it must be said, this move was indeed unexpected.
Even Roshi in his Half Tailed Beast Transformation couldn't react in time.
Roshi's chest was pierced by the ice blade, and the wound on his chest was frozen.
But in his Half Tailed Beast Transformation state, no expression could be discerned on his face.
Roshi raised his hand and gripped the ice blade that ran through him.
Just as his hand touched the ice blade, wisps of cold air emerged from his palm.
Roshi exerted force.
Crack! Bang!
The ice blade was instantly crushed!
Yet Roshi appeared completely unharmed.
Rukia's gaze shifted.
According to research conducted by the Intelligence Department and the Technology Development Department.
Rukia also understood that nine monsters called Bijus existed in this world.
It could be said that these nine Bijus were currently the strongest existences in the Ninja World.
And even among the Bijus, there were clear distinctions in strength.
Rukia was unsure where this particular Biju ranked in terms of power.
But she could certainly feel how troublesome the Biju was.
"It seems I need to get a little more serious."
"?"
Ōnoki was slightly bewildered. What did she mean? She wasn't serious even after all that?
Ōnoki clearly didn't believe her nonsense.
Roshi, in his Half Tailed Beast Transformation, also tilted his head, and a hint of human-like mockery could surprisingly be seen in his hollow eyes.
Rukia paid no attention.
She suddenly exhaled a breath of cold air, her eyes lowered, and she said coldly, "The true power of Sode no Shirayuki is far more than what I've shown so far..."
"?"
Doubt flashed in Roshi's eyes, but he quickly dismissed it.
Balls of magma suddenly rose behind him, which he condensed into cones and shot toward Rukia.
Rukia neither dodged nor avoided, she didn't even bother raising Sode no Shirayuki.
"Has she given up?"
This thought flashed through Roshi's mind.
But soon, Rukia simply threw a punch.
Bang!!
Cold air erupted from Rukia's fist, freezing the incoming cone-shaped magma!
Snap!
The several cone-shaped magma pieces turned into ice cones, dropped to the ground, and shattered into fragments.
Roshi's heart suddenly tightened.
She can use that ice ability even without her sword, just with her fist?
"Sode no Shirayuki is not a sword that merely releases cold air from its tip."
The moment Rukia finished speaking... she appeared beside Roshi the next instant!
She slashed her sword across Roshi's shoulder!
Roshi's pupils sharply contracted.
