Death: Captain Millennium

Kurosaki Masaki looked at Shiba Isshin who was flying away, an anxious look on her face, and shouted loudly: "Are you okay, Mr. Death!" Her voice was full of concern.

Shiba Isshin struggled to get up from the ground, his body trembling slightly, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood away with all his strength, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm not going to die yet! This little injury is nothing to me." Although he acted as if nothing had happened, it was obvious that he had been seriously injured.

Kurosaki Masaki quickly ran over to support Shiba Isshin, looking at him worriedly. "Let's try to retreat and find a safe place to rest first. Your wound needs to be treated."

Isshin Shiba stared at Kurosaki Masaki, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He thought it would be great if all Quincies had a kind heart like this girl.

"Thank you, Masaki." Shiba Isshin said softly, "Let's think about how to deal with the trouble at hand, otherwise we won't be able to leave today."

Kurosaki Masaki smiled and shook her head, "Don't say that, Mr. Death. This is what I should do. Besides, if it weren't for my lack of combat experience, you wouldn't be hurt..." A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

Shiba Isshin looked at the Hollow in front of him, "Masaki, I'll be the main attacker from now on, and you'll assist me from a distance. But remember to avoid the Hollow's flashes. Also, this Hollow will regenerate at an extremely fast rate. The only way to kill it is to destroy its head and internal organs."

Kurosaki Masaki nodded and tightened his grip on the spirit bow. Shiba Isshin took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and charged at Kyohaku once more.

He brandished his Zanpakutō and engaged in a fierce battle with Kyohaku. From a distance, Kurosaki Masaki continuously fired arrows to support Shiba Isshin.

However, Kyobaku's strength exceeded their expectations. It repeatedly withstood Shiba Isshin's attacks and even when injured, it was able to quickly recover.

Sweat continued to drip down Shiba Isshin's forehead. He felt that he was almost at his limit, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Kurosaki Masaki watched this scene anxiously. She knew that she couldn't continue like this and had to find a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, she deliberately dropped the bow in her hand. Seeing this from a distance, Xubai immediately became manic and rushed towards Kurosaki Masaki like crazy. Xubai was very angry at this guy who had been shooting arrows from a distance. Now that she had put down her weapon, she decided to finish her off first.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai arrived in front of Kurosaki Masaki.

"Masaki! What are you doing? Get out of the way!" Isshin shouted.

However, this time Yi Xin did not have time to stop Xu Bai's actions because things happened too suddenly.

Kurosaki Masaki seemed to have lost her fighting spirit. Kyobaku suddenly opened his bloody mouth and bit her shoulder fiercely. This bite made Masaki feel so painful that she seemed to have lost all resistance and her body became a little weak.

In this life-or-death situation, Masaki displayed incredible courage. Without hesitation, she embraced Kyohaku tightly and swiftly pierced its head with a spirit arrow. Then, she frantically retreated, trying to get as far away from Kyohaku as possible.

"Masaki!" Isshin finally arrived, his eyes wide with worry. Looking at Masaki's injured shoulder, he felt extremely guilty. If this little girl died because of him, he would never forgive himself.

But before he could do anything more, Kyobaku, pierced through the head by a spirit arrow, exploded at the moment of death. This sudden change caught everyone off guard, and Kyobaku attempted to kill Isshin who rushed to protect Masaki, while also transferring his remaining spirit into Masaki's body.

Masaki was also blown away by Kyobaku's self-explosion and fell heavily to the ground. Isshin hurried over, picked up Masaki, and checked her injuries.

At this moment, Masaki's consciousness gradually blurred, and she felt that her body was being taken over by a powerful force. She tried to stay awake and fight against that force.

"Masaki, hold on! I will definitely save you!" Isshin sensed that Kyohaku's power was eroding her, and if she didn't find a way, Masaki would become a Hollow.

At the same time, Ryugen Ishida also rushed to the scene. He looked at Kurosaki Masaki who was in pain because of the injury and the weak Shiba Isshin, and struggled in his heart for a long time. The spiritual bow emerged in his hand, and he was ready to kill Shiba Isshin and then find a way to save Kurosaki Masaki who was eroded by the power of the Hollow.

Ishida Ryuzen was just raising his spiritual bow to kill Shiba Isshin when a voice rang out at an inopportune moment.

"Quincy, I won't allow you to kill the captain of Soul Society!" Lin Yu, the sixth-in-command, also emerged from the shadows. A faint smile played on his lips, and he stared at Ishida Ryugen with a cold gaze.

Ishida Ryugen was shocked when he saw the figure coming out. The person was wearing a Shinigami uniform and a captain's haori, and he was holding a small wine flask in his hand. He took a few sips while talking. His appearance surprised Ishida Ryugen, as he had not noticed this person's presence.

Not to mention him, even Bayunsai, Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Mako, who were watching the battle from a distance, had not noticed Lin Yu's existence from the beginning to now.

"husband?"

"What a show-off!"

"team leader?"

Three different names were called out from Bayunzhai, Saito, and Hiyori. They were a little confused now. When did Lin Yu come? If he had been there all the time, why didn't he make a move just now?

Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Mako had different ideas. "Captain Lin Yu of the 7th Division? Could he be the one who just attacked Shiba Isshin?"

Urahara, Hirako, and Mako had never seen Lin Yu take action, so they thought that he was the one who had sneak attacked Isshin just now.

"Another Soul Society captain? But I don't feel any spiritual pressure coming from this captain at all?" Ishida Ryugen pondered. He didn't know why this captain had no spiritual pressure, but he knew that anyone who could become the captain of the Gotei 13 was definitely not ordinary. He began to think about how to deal with this situation, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to kill this captain as well.

Lin Yu looked at Ishida Ryugen quietly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. He suddenly said coldly: "Go away! Quincy, I'm in a good mood and don't want to kill you. It's too late for me to change my mind." His voice was cold and ruthless, as if warning Ishida Ryugen not to challenge his bottom line.

When Ishida Ryugen heard these arrogant words, he was filled with rage. He decided not to retreat and directly opened the spiritual bow in his hand, ready to attack Lin Yu. However, just as he was about to shoot, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Lin Yu's body.

The spiritual pressure surged like a surging ocean wave, instantly enveloping Ishida Ryugen. He felt as if his body were being pressed down by a mountain, unable to move. The spiritual bow formed by the spirit particles in his hand collapsed, and he was pinned to the ground.

Lin Yu's spiritual pressure was so strong that it was suffocating. Ishida Ryugen felt an unprecedented fear. He realized that he had encountered a truly powerful person, and his heart was filled with despair. He knew that if he continued to stay here, only death would await him. So, he struggled to get up and turned to leave the scene.

If we were to say what Lin Yu hated the most, the first thing that came to mind was the Quincy. Not to mention that Yhwach had tricked him a thousand years ago, just look at how many Soul Society Shinigami the Quincy had killed in that war, including his friends.

If Kurosaki Masaki hadn't risked his life to save Shiba Isshin today, he might have drawn his sword and killed Ishida Ryugen on the spot instead of sparing his life!
