Death: Captain Millennium

"Good! Good! Good!"

Chojiro excitedly said "yes" three times, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to fight to his full potential and might accidentally kill Ichigo, but now it seemed that these worries were unnecessary.

Since Ichigo possesses such a powerful recovery ability, he can completely put aside his worries and fully display his swordsmanship without having to carefully control his strength. Thinking of this, Chojiro felt a little excited, as if he had already seen a wonderful battle about to begin.

However, at this moment, Chojiro suddenly realized something: Ichigo in front of him seemed to be a completely different person. He carefully observed Ichigo's expression, movements and eyes, and found that he exuded a completely different aura from before.

This made Chojiro wonder. Was Ichigo Kurosaki possessed? Or had he undergone some strange transformation in such a short period of time? This question lingered in Chojiro's mind, making him even more curious about the battle.

"Never mind! Cut it first and talk later."

At this moment, Kyohaku Ichigo was completely enraged, his manic eyes seemed to burn everything to ashes. Although Kyohaku Ichigo, the substitute, had already been online, he still seemed a little powerless in the face of Chojiro.

The Crescent Moon Sky Strike just now was only because Chojiro was distracted for a moment and failed to dodge it, but the situation is now completely different.

Initially, Kyohaku Ichigo was confident he could easily defeat Chojiro, but as the battle dragged on, he gradually realized something was amiss. The old man across from him was consistently outmatched, and every strike was a source of pressure.

The difference between the two swords made Kyobaku Ichigo feel extremely frustrated. He began to wonder if the old man had been hiding his strength and not giving it his all.

Unlike Ichigo who was feeling frustrated, Chojiro became more and more excited as the fight went on. During the fight, he used his instant step and slashing techniques to the fullest extent. Every time he dodged Ichigo's sword, he would inflict a new wound on him.

It means that the substitute has the ability of super-fast regeneration at this moment, otherwise he would have been drained of blood after being hit so many times.

Kyobaku Ichigo felt so aggrieved. He felt like the old man in front of him was playing tricks on him. That's right! He was the one being played tricks on!

Kyohaku Ichigo roared wildly and decided to burst out with all his strength, not giving Chojiro the chance to continue teasing him. He gathered all the spiritual pressure in his body and attached it to his Zanpakutō, preparing to launch a more powerful attack.

However, Chojiro was not worried at all. He nimbly dodged the slash and swung his sword, hitting Kyohaku Ichigo's arm.

Ichigo felt the pain and nearly dropped his Zanpakutō. He stared at Chojiro with wide eyes in disbelief.

Unfortunately, Ichigo himself has not yet mastered Bankai, so even as a substitute, he can only display the strength of his Shikai state and cannot make any greater breakthroughs. If Ichigo could further master the power of Bankai, he would be confident that he could defeat Chojiro.

After several probing attacks, Chojiro believes he has a rough idea of ​​Ichigo's strength. Judging from the current situation, Ichigo's strength is roughly equivalent to two carts of Kensei, but he has not yet mastered the Bankai ability, otherwise he would probably have a few more carts.

No longer wanting to drag out the battle, Chojiro unleashed a powerful spiritual pressure and attached the power of thunder to his Zanpakutō, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Ichigo, completely depriving him of his combat effectiveness.

"It's all over, Ichigo," Chojiro said.

His instant step instantly reached its peak, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Ichigo, and then pierced his body with a knife. At the same time, the power of thunder continuously poured into Ichigo's body, causing his whole body to flash with blue lightning sparks, not to mention the internal damage.

"what…"

Suffering this sudden attack, Ichigo screamed in pain. He even smelled the aroma of barbecue, as if his body was about to be cooked by electricity.

Accompanied by a pig-slaughtering scream, Kyobaku Ichigo fell to his knees with a "thump", and the Zanpakutō in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chojiro's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Hmph! You are still too naive..." However, just when he thought the situation was settled, something unexpected happened.

A large amount of white liquid began to secrete from Ichigo Kyobaku's mouth. The liquid wrapped around his cheeks and slowly gathered into a broken mask.

Most of the mask is white, with three black patterns like bangs on the forehead, and two darker lines below the left eye, which seem to converge at the ends.

It turned out that after suffering a severe blow, Ichigo Hollow could no longer suppress the power of the Hollow that was running wild in his body, and passively entered the Hollow state.

As the transformation into a hollow was completed, Ichigo Hollow's originally dull eyes glowed red, and a powerful spiritual pressure emanated from his body.

Hmm. Now there are almost four cars...

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chojiro in front of him, then stretched out his right hand and grabbed the Zanpakutō that had been inserted into his body.

Seeing this, Chojiro was suddenly shocked and wanted to draw out his Zanpakutō, but he found that the other party's hand was holding the blade tightly like an iron clamp. No matter how hard he tried, the sword did not move at all.

At this moment, Ichigo Kyobaku's mouth slowly opened, and a violent black and red flash condensed in an instant, shooting straight towards Chojiro's face.

Chojiro, who was close at hand, felt the enormous energy contained in the Hollow Flash and a look of shock appeared on his face. He struggled desperately again to draw out his Zanpakuto, but Ichigo still held the blade tightly and he couldn't pull it out.

At this moment, Chojiro made a decisive move, dropped his Zanpakutō, and retreated madly. However, it was too late.

"The Thirty-Nineth Path of Binding! Round Gate Fan."

At the critical moment, Chojiro hastily abandoned the chanting and directly used defensive kidō.

However, the power of Waxu's flash is definitely not something that a ghost of this level can withstand.

Xu Shan easily shattered the round gate fan and continued to attack Chojiro.

Chojiro had no way to avoid it and could only watch the hollow flash coming towards him.

At the last moment, he gathered all the spiritual power in his body, wrapped it around his body, and prepared to take on this flash of energy.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the shock wave of the explosion swept around.

Fortunately, the round gate fan had offset some of the power of the flash, and Chojiro was able to successfully block the attack.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Chojiro's figure slowly emerged. His once neat shinigami uniform was now tattered and covered in dust and blood.

The worst thing was that his beard, which he had always carefully maintained, was burned to ashes in the explosion, completely losing his former gentlemanly demeanor.

After doing all this, Ichigo slowly stood up, still holding Chojiro's Zanpakuto in his hand. His eyes were full of cold murderous intent, and he walked towards Chojiro step by step.
