Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Blade Still Sheathed, Thunder Strikes!

Perhaps to mask his own embarrassment, Reigai Kensei Muguruma crouched slightly, legs coiling as he built up momentum.

Then, in an instant, he launched himself toward Masatsuki Aozaki!

The bladed fists in his hands came crashing down, aiming straight for Masatsuki with overwhelming force.

He moved like an unstoppable avalanche—fierce, fast, and deadly.

"Stylish—he really is stylish..."

Masatsuki Aozaki raised a brow with a teasing expression.

His Reiatsu may have been lacking, and that meant his raw strength wasn’t anything impressive. Masatsuki could stand still and take the hit without even a scratch—but against ordinary Shinigami, this kind of force was more than enough.

If someone got hit by that punch, the explosive force would pour endlessly into their body, causing devastating internal damage and sending them flying.

Most Shinigami were built for offense, not defense. With comparable power levels, taking a hit like that usually meant the fight was already over.

Unfortunately for Kensei Muguruma, his opponent this time wasn’t a typical Shinigami.

With a furious roar, Kensei swung his fist, charging right up to Masatsuki Aozaki.

But at that exact moment—Masatsuki moved.

With an effortless motion, he raised his right hand and casually reached out, catching Kensei’s punch mid-air.

His fingers closed around the blade—barehanded.

The razor-sharp edge failed to leave even the smallest mark. Instead, the weapon quickly cracked under the pressure, fractures spreading like spiderwebs across its surface.

"What?!"

Kensei’s expression twisted in shock. He hadn’t expected Masatsuki Aozaki to stop his attack so easily.

"Too weak."

Masatsuki spoke flatly.

Then, without warning, he jerked his arm and flung Kensei through the air.

Kensei’s body spun uncontrollably, crashing through over a dozen walls before finally hitting the ground with a brutal thud.

He groaned and tried to push himself up, face full of disbelief.

"How... How could this be? I’m Kensei Muguruma..." he muttered.

"Are you even worthy of that name?"

Masatsuki’s eyes narrowed with disdain.

He began walking slowly toward Kensei. Each step felt heavier than the last—crushing, suffocating.

"You really thought that was enough to beat me?" Masatsuki said coldly. "You’ve got a long way to go."

Without waiting for a response, he vanished in a blur, appearing directly in front of Kensei—and drove a palm strike straight into his chest.

Kensei didn’t even have time to react. The force came crashing down before he could move.

"Gah—!"

Blood sprayed violently.

Kensei Muguruma’s body erupted as the blow tore through him, chunks of flesh and blood slamming into the wall before sliding down like a collapsed mass.

Masatsuki Aozaki stood over him, not a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

...

But the battle didn’t pause—not even for a second.

In the very next instant, four figures closed in like a raging storm.

Shunsui Kyōraku. Jūshirō Ukitake. Kenpachi Zaraki. Retsu Unohana.

All except Unohana had already released their Zanpakutō, standing ready in full battle posture.

Boom—!

A surge of Reiatsu collided with a deafening crash.

Blades met in a violent clash, metal ringing sharp and clear.

But then—something unexpected.

As everyone’s eyes locked on the point of contact between the blades... they realized Masatsuki Aozaki was no longer there.

The four captains froze, puzzled and uncertain.

Without thinking, their gazes followed a flicker of light—trailing to the space behind Reigai Retsu Unohana.

There, brilliant white particles of light gathered in the air, slowly converging into a familiar figure...

Masatsuki Aozaki.

"My Retsu would never be that weak. You’re still far from worthy."

Masatsuki Aozaki’s lips curled into a faint smile, a glint of provocation flickering in his eyes.

Reigai Retsu Unohana’s pupils trembled slightly at those words—clearly stirred by Masatsuki’s remark.
