244. Sasakibe: It Is My Duty To Revive The Glory Of The Team (Part 1)
One is Ichimaru Gin, who had to be the vice-captain because Byakuya Kuchiki seized the captain position of the third team in advance.
The other is Chōjirō Sasakibe, who followed Yamamoto Genryuzai for thousands of years.
Although they are all vice-captains, including Tian Bei, they exude a different atmosphere. Compared with other vice-captains, they seem out of place. Just seeing his figure in sight, there is an indescribable depression.
If you meet your eyes, you can't do anything except sweat.
Not to mention Tian Bei, who has known strength.
Ichimaru Gin, who is always smiling and unpredictable, is one of the top three super geniuses in the history of the Academy of Spiritual Arts. He graduated from the Academy of Spiritual Arts in only one year, even though the Academy of Spiritual Art at that time had not yet promoted richer, higher-end knowledge, but it is still remarkable, after all, compared to the present, the past is the norm.
In terms of age, he is still a little older than Byakuya Kuchiki, so it is reasonable to hide his secrets.
But Shinigami is too familiar with Chōjirō Sasakibe, currently the most senior vice-captain.
Now seeing him put on a solemn expression that is different from the past, and the shadows on his face that were not covered by the light seem to be woven with some kind of dark emotion, which makes people shudder, and most Shinigami can't help feeling horrified.
Perhaps because this sudden change attracted the favor of fate, Fluorescent happened to touch the ball marked with 'one'.
The silver-haired gentleman stepped onto the ring with a sinking face, neither joy nor sense of urgency, but it was precisely this that made Shiba Kaien feel extremely strange.
"Starting from 'one' and ending with 'thirteen', the confrontation with you, vice-captain Shiba, may be the affirmation of the spirit king's will in the dark for my persistence for thousands of years."
Chōjirō Sasakibe unhurriedly pulled out Zanpakutō.
"Excuse me for being stupid, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Don't worry about it, it's just an old man's casual talk. It's natural that Vice Captain Shiba doesn't understand, because this is the result of my deliberate pursuit, but it seems to have stopped here.
Facing the confused Kaien, Sasakibe made a western rapier opening gesture, with the vertical knife in front of his chest "like a pen-like gesture, which made people realize that every word he said was an enlightened official without the slightest sense of joke.
"The thriving Soul Society is like a brand new big ship, (chca) this ship will carry the young people to a better new era, what the old people have to do is to train the young people to be independent, and then watch They went away, and Chong Ya has already set an example, how can I, the vice-captain, do nothing."
"Vice-Captain Shiba, you are a genius no less than Captain Byakuya. It is my greatest comfort to have you as my opponent. It is a bit arrogant to say... just let me do your trials."
The voice fell.
A silver light flashed away.
A cold light illuminated Kaien's face.
It made him narrow his eyes.
Looking at it again, his expression suddenly changed.
Sasakibe has come to him, lunging down his body, the Zanpakutō in his hand turned into a western sword at some point, it seems ordinary, but the point of the sword is only two centimeters away from his eyeball, no wonder there will be Such a dazzling cold light.
At this moment, Kaien's fine hair stood on end, and his scalp exploded.
Ping!
There was a fierce confrontation between the two world-famous cold weapons in the East and the West. Not only the blades rubbed against the blades, the sparks splashed like fireflies, the impact generated shook the atmosphere, and the ring under the feet was shattered. The internal bang caused the already cracked ground to sink for a second time, forming a shallow pit with a diameter of more than five meters.
Kaien back-jumped to gain distance.
Considering Sasakibe's surprise attack just now, he really didn't want to engage in melee combat rashly without any intelligence basis. Although he might still be attacked if he opened the distance, he could take the second time if he could catch it. There is room for retaliation, if the process of competing in the slashing technique can show such speed, then he will be killed instantly with one blow.
However, compared with these.
What makes Kaien even more concerned is that the other party seems to let Zanpakutō enter the Shikai state without calling out the solution number. If he didn't miss it, it means...
"Have you avoided it? You obviously don't understand my Yan Lingwan's ability, but you can still react to it. You are worthy of being the heir that His Excellency Jushiro placed high hopes on."
Sasakibe said calmly.
...and get out of the way? You can be kidding. "
Kaien could clearly feel the heat and humidity dripping down from under his eyelids.
It was a wound cut by the point of the sword.
It was a little itchy, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
Don't even dare to distract yourself too much.
"Many people have criticized me because I don't like to participate in the battle. It would be a lie to say that I don't have any sadness, so I can't help but act too hastily. Don't worry, I will slow down a little bit next, so that you can see the seriousness more clearly. The trajectory of the spirit pill."
"It's unnecessary to slow down, and many people say that I have a thick skin, and it's nothing to get a few more knives... Speaking of Yan Lingwan, Mr. Sasakibe, didn't you call the solution just now? Really, no Thinking that you are so good at hiding, if I become Bankai, I would wish to drag my subordinates to celebrate together."
Omitting the solution sign is a characteristic of making Zanpakutō subdued and practicing Bankai.
Sasakibe has been the vice-captain for 2,000 years, so it is surprising that he does not know Bankai, but the most ironic thing is this, his forbearance surprised others because he knows Bankai.
"This is the proof that I can't keep up with the times."
Sasakibe adjusts his movements, raises his left arm flat, his fingertips are tense as if aiming, and the western sword on his right arm is parallel to his eyes, as if bending a bow and drawing an arrow, which is very suitable for the thrusting gesture.
Kaien just glanced at it and felt a cold current rushing through his body, and his scalp was numb.
Slow down? No, it doesn't look like it's going to slow down.
It is more like a sinister tactic to trick the opponent into letting down his vigilance and giving a tragic lesson.
"Let's turn the tide, Nejibana!"
Kaien Shikai without hesitation.
Fighting Shikai in a sealed state, and fighting captain-level combat power as a vice-captain, he's not that arrogant yet.
The next moment, a trident-shaped spear appeared in his hand.
Then he also lowered his center of gravity, pointing the tip of his gun at the ground, assuming a rushing posture.
"Water...?"
Seeing the wave-like spray of spiritual seeds created by the swing of the spear, the corners of Sasakibe's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Immediately, a faint electric arc clings to the wrist and spreads to the whole body.
In stark contrast to Kaien.
"Lightning type?"
Kaien's eyes froze, feeling bad.
Without giving him any time to think about countermeasures, Sasakibe suddenly exploded, leaving only a little arc jumping in place. .
