Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Just My Bad Luck

​In an instant, countless sparks flew, dazzling the eyes. The attacker’s once hawk-like sharp eyes widened in shock, staring incredulously at the man who had effortlessly raised his hand to block the strike.​

"What incredible reflexes! Any other captain, except perhaps the top few, would never have evaded my blade." The assailant marveled inwardly but didn’t hesitate. He swiftly retreated several steps, creating a safe distance between them. As if fearing his opponent might decapitate him, he raised his long sword overhead, gripping the hilt with both hands.​

The attacker trembled, seemingly consumed by fear; his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed indescribable panic. Yet, Masatsuki Aozaki found this display somewhat amusing, though his smile remained chilling.​

"Captain Isshin, what are you doing?" Masatsuki inquired, though his mind was already racing, contemplating how to showcase his extraordinary strength before the two young girls.​

Unexpectedly, Isshin Shiba grinned—a smile as unsettling as a villain’s—and laughed aloud:​

"Captain-Commander, there’s no need for pretenses now, is there? It’s just your misfortune that the two individuals we need are with you. Today is your demise!"​

As his words fell, powerful Reiatsu surged from all directions. In the blink of an eye, the sound of a sudden storm filled the air—​

Swish, swish, swish!​

Agile figures materialized like phantoms, stepping into view. Upon closer inspection, they were familiar faces:

The 2nd Division Captain, Yūshirō Shihōin.​

The 6th Division Captain, Byakuya Kuchiki.​

The 8th Division Captain, Shunsui Kyōraku.​

The 11th Division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki.​

The 13th Division Captain, Jūshirō Ukitake.

Each exuded a formidable aura, their presence imposing and suffocating, clearly indicating hostile intent. The sudden appearance of these five captains seemed to solidify the surrounding air, making the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.​

Faced with this overwhelming scene, the two inexperienced young girls felt intimidated, their eyes instinctively turning to Masatsuki Aozaki for comfort and support.

"Protect them; I’ll go stretch my legs," Masatsuki whispered reassuringly. Senna and Nozomi Kujō felt lost, but two women, dressed in kimonos and exuding an ethereal aura, appeared before them without warning.​

Masatsuki then scanned his surroundings, his gaze sharp as a blade:​

"Leave these impostors to me. Stay back for now, and ensure the patrol evacuates the area."​

"Understood!" The 10th Division’s patrol unit immediately began clearing the area. Whether the captains were real or impostors, it was basic common sense for regular Shinigami to stay far away from a captain-level fight.

At that moment, an invisible barrier rose, like a steel wall spanning the sky—​

A Super Reiatsu Barrier!​

The five captains sensed the barrier’s might, their expressions growing serious. Clearly, someone had deployed an immensely powerful defensive technique.​

Masatsuki narrowed his eyes and clenched his right fist, swinging it forward with force. A tremendous energy surged forth, blasting straight ahead with unstoppable momentum.​

Boom!​

Reiatsu collided, producing an earth-shattering noise. Masatsuki’s fist met Yūshirō Shihōin’s incoming kick squarely. The two immense forces clashed, generating a shockwave that swept in all directions...​

In an instant, pillars of flame erupted from Yūshirō’s shoulders, the force seemingly piercing the sky. This power was no less than the original’s, perhaps even surpassing the real Yūshirō.​

Simultaneously, Masatsuki exerted force through his arm. With a loud explosion, Yūshirō’s body burst apart, flesh scattering in all directions.

Witnessing this, the remaining four captains were stunned. Defeating a captain with a single punch—was this man even human?
