Bleach Swordsman of Kusajishi

re.”

“I see.” Muyang nodded, then raised the Zanpakuto in his hand, “Play your melody, Kaze no Sora!”

Following Muyang’s chanting, the shape of his Zanpakuto changed again.
The hilt suddenly turned into azure blue with one meter-length blade.
In addition, it had thorn-like small blades on its edges around 30 cm from the tip.

Following the change in his Zanpakuto, Muyang’s Reiatsu skyrocketed again.
Sensing Muyang’s massive Reiatsu, the Hollow fell into despair.
He was no match against Muyang earlier, and now that Muyang’s Reiatsu skyrocketed once again, it might be asking too much just to run away.

“Is this the so-called Bankai? It sure seems strong.”

“Bankai?” Muyang sneered.
“Don’t overestimate yourself.
I don’t need to use Bankai to deal with the likes of you.”

“Not Bankai? As far as I know, a Shinigami Zanpakuto can be released twice, namely Shikai and Bankai.
You have released Zanpakuto once before, yet you’re saying that is not Bankai?”

“This is not Bankai.
It’s just another Shikai, that’s all.
Well, since you won’t understand anyway even if I explain it to you, feel free to consider it as a Bankai.
Many people think so as well.”

“I don’t really have to go this far to defeat you, to be honest.
The only reason why I show you this form is only out of respect for my men that you killed in cold blood.” Muyang’s tone was getting more and more terrifying.

“Goodbye, Shinigami.” Hollow poked his fingertip into thin air, and Garganta was slowly opened.
The Hollow stepped into Garganta with one foot and the other still outside before turning toward Muyang and said arrogantly, “I will spare you this time out of pity, but remember that the next time we meet will be your end, Shinigami!”

“Who gives you the permission to leave?” Muyang raised Zanpakuto in his hand and swung it at the Hollow’s direction gently.

An azure compressed air blade was discharged from Muyang’s Zanpakuto, cutting off one of the Hollow’s legs that was already in Garganta.
After lopping off the Hollow’s leg, the compressed air blade seeped into the Garganta, and then the Garganta gradually became unstable, forcing out the Hollow before vanishing.

“Damn you!”

The Hollow’s leg twitched before growing back just like last time, and he glared at Muyang.
Obviously, he didn’t expect that the Shinigami could cancel out Garganta.

“It’s a relief that you didn’t die by that attack earlier.
Fortunately, you are not as fragile as I thought.” Muyang composedly said as he  saw the Hollow’s High-Speed Regeneration, but his next sentence immediately made the Hollow shudder, “I won’t let you die that easily.”

“High-Speed ​​​​Regeneration really is a convenient ability.” Muyang praised the Hollow’s regenerative ability.

Muyang’s words and tone right now made him the most dreadful existence in the Hollow’s eyes. 

“Can you do a simple math? You know, just simple addition and subtraction.” Muyang asked the Hollow out of the blue.

“What do you plan to…”

“bssskk~”

The Hollow’s chest was stabbed, and blood was gushing out of it.

“I’m asking whether you can do simple math or not,” Muyang asked menacingly.

“I… I do.”

“Very good.” Muyang sounded less intimidating after hearing a satisfying answer, “Oh, the wound on your chest is already closed? As expected of High-Speed Regeneration!”

“Now, what is 1000 minus 7?”

“993 .” The Hollow obediently answered this time.

“Very good.” Muyang nodded as he was satisfied with the Hollow’s answer, then suddenly… “Rikujōkōrō!”

Six thin, wide beams were slammed into the Hollow’s midsection, restraining the Hollow’s movement.

“What are you planning to do? I know I am no match for you, just kill me already!”

“You want to die? I won’t let you off the hook that easily! You killed 24 of my men, so I have to kill you 24 times!” The Hollow felt like he heard the voice of a demon.

“Next, I want you to keep subtracting the result by 7 starting from 1000 minus 7.
Otherwise, it will be more than 24 times!”

Before Muyang proceeded, he used Shunpo and suddenly reappeared in front of Suzuki Kusu, using a Kidō to put her to sleep.
It’d be better for her not to see what was about to happen.

“Okay, let’s get started.” Muyang looked down at Hollow kneeling on the ground.
“Let’s do it again from the top.
What is 1000 minus 7?”

Muyang’s face was like that of a demon!
