Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 181 179. I’m back

On the busy Thames River, the frail cruise ship is barely able to stay afloat on the river.

Although Kisaragi Suisuke's falling flame dragon tooth just now did not hit Higashino Shuichi, it successfully separated Higashino Shuichi from a separate part of the cruise ship wreckage.

"Susuke, you have to be careful. This Quincy named Kabuto Takuya is very powerful. Rangiku was almost killed by him before he could even free his Zanpakutō!"

Crouching behind Kisaragi Suisuke, Nagasawa Satomi picked up Matsumoto Rangiku with both hands, feeling the latter's somewhat weak heartbeat, and said slightly thankfully.

"Yes." Kisaragi Susuke nodded and stared at Higashino Shuichi, "I don't care what your identity is, if you dare to attack Miss Sayoko and Satomi while I'm away, I won't let you go today. your!"

"Haha. Okay, I would like to learn why you won't let me go."

Higashino Shuichi responded while showing the pistol gesture toward Kisaragi Suisuke, and a white sacred destroying arrow formed and flew out from his fingertips again.

"Fire crack!"

Facing Higashino Shuichi's attack, Kisaragi Suisuke concentrated his spiritual power on the blade of his tapiraya sword, causing the temperature of the tapiraya sword to rise sharply, and then under the high temperature that even the air seemed to be burned. , Ruyue Xiuzhu waved the tapiraya knife in front of him.

Sparks bloomed in mid-air along the trajectory of the Tapir Yao Knife. Then, these sparks did not gradually disappear as the blade went away. Instead, they gathered together under the high temperature environment created by the Tapir Yao Knife's thunder and fire. And eventually turned into a huge wave of fire, pushing forward.

When the sacred destroying arrow shot by Higashino Hideichi encountered this wave of fire, it was inevitably swallowed up by it, and there was no news.

Has this trick been developed yet?

Looking at this memory, in the original plot, the ability that Kisaragi Suisuke would not master until very late in the game has now been used by Kisaragi Suisuke. In addition, the one used by Kisaragi Suisuke when he appeared on the stage is not there. In Higashino Shuichi's memory, any ability used by Kisaragi Suisuke.

Higashino Shuichi felt very happy in his heart.

Fortunately, Kisaragi Suisuke is not as bad as Matsumoto Rangiku. In the years when Higashino Shuichi was not around, Kisaragi Suisuke finally learned something on his own.

This also proves from the side that Kisaragi Suisuke only has poor qualifications in Kidō. In terms of developing his own tapiraya sword ability, Kisaragi Suisuke obviously still has some good talents.

But just this level is not enough in the eyes of Higashino Shuichi who currently occupies Kabuto Takuya's body.

"Little Holy Bow!"

Higashino Shuichi stood on the wreckage of the cruise ship that began to bump along with the flow of the river. He looked sideways, and between the palms of his left hand, under the control of Higashino Shuichi, the spirits gathered into the shape of a long bow.

At the same time, Higashino Shuichi's right hand was in the air, and the void was filled with the non-existent bow string.

Then the fingers loosen, the string tightens, and the arrow comes out.

Several sacred destroying arrows flew out from the long bow in Higashino Shuichi's hand, and this attack was continuous.

Even if Higashino Shuichi stopped pulling the bow, new sacred arrows would still shoot out from the long bow towards Kisaragi Suisuke.

This was the lower-ranking replacement that Kabuto Takuya, under the arrangement of Higashino Shuichi, found out based on his memory of the Great Holy Bow used by Yhwach in the future.

Compared with the terrifying power used by Yhwach in the future that seemed to tear the world apart, the small holy bow currently used by Higashino Shuichi is much weaker in terms of power and power.

However, Higashino Shuichi's opponent is not the Zero Division that Yhwach will face in the future.

The wave of fire created by Kisaragi Suisuke greedily devoured the sacred destroying arrows shot by Higashino Shuichi.

However, because his own strength could not keep up, he was directly shot into a sieve by the sacred destroying arrows that continued to fly towards him.

The fire wave failed to even cross the narrow river between Kisaragi Suisuke and Higashino Shuichi, and completely dissipated in the air due to the structural damage.

"This terrifying strength"

Well, seeing the sacred Mieya rushing toward him again like a pack of wolves, Kisaragi Suisuke now believed what Nagasawa Satomi said before.

The Quincy man in front of me is indeed a little bit powerful.

It's not like Kisaragi Suisuke has never seen a Quincy for such a long time in this world.

But this was the first person to be able to do what the Quincy in front of him could do, to easily break through his fire cracks with just a few sacred annihilation arrows.

"In that case, flame spray!"

Kisaragi Suisuke pointed the tip of his untied tapiraya sword at Higashino Shuichi, and flames appeared on the blade again, but this time, they no longer converged into the shape of a wave of fire, but struck the tapiraya one after another. The surface of the sword, thunder and fire is spirally wound.

And with the control of Kisaragi Suisuke's thoughts, these flames acted like a tornado, not only engulfing those sacred Mie Ya that broke through the fire wave again, but also swept towards Higashino Shuichi's position.

"This is a good solution. If I were just an ordinary Quincy, I might not be able to do anything good for a while. It's a pity."

Higashino Shuichi sighed with regret when he saw Kisaragi Suisuke's reaction.

Being able to immediately use reasonable responses while counterattacking on his own shows that Kisaragi Suisuke must have accumulated a lot of experience in combat alone during his absence.

Otherwise, based on Higashino Shuichi's past understanding of Kisaragi Suisuke, the latter must have chosen to avoid his fierce counterattack rather than forcefully collide head-on.

This is not only due to strength, but also due to combat experience.

Being able to accurately judge the upper limit of the opponent's attack and adopt the most advantageous response method is the fighting method that Higashino Shuichi has always admired most.

Flying Sickle Kick, Holy Destruction Arrow, Random Dressing!

Higashino Shuichi used the Quincy's Flying Scythe Kick, with a sound that was almost like a hollow, similar to the speed of teleportation in space, which once again shocked Kisaragi Suisuke's eyes.

"Can humans also achieve such a fast speed?"

Kisaragi Susuke subconsciously raised the tapiraya sword in his hand to defend himself.

But Higashino Shuichi is obviously faster.

I saw that Higashino Shuichi's right hand was about to press near Kisaragi Suisuke's chest just like he had done with Matsumoto Rangiku before. However, because Kisaragi Suisuke raised his sword to defend, he had to retreat and do the next best thing. He was within a distance of Kisaragi Suisuke's palm. There was still a distance, so he used the sacred destroying arrow and chaos.

As a result, Higashino Shuichi's move did not achieve the effect he originally envisioned on Kisaragi Suisuke.

Those arrows from the sacred destroying arrows could only leave a few shallow scars on Kisaragi Xiusuke's chest.

Behind Higashino Shuichi, the future mechanical dog Alpha, who had been created by Higashino Shuichi before, took advantage of the battle between Kisaragi Suisuke and Higashikata Shuichi and quietly came to Kisaragi Suisuke, and came to Kisaragi Suichi. Xiusuke planned to strike while the iron was hot and completely inhale the continuously outputting flame into his belly.

When Kisaragi Suisuke looked over, Alpha had already begun to burp.

"What is this?"

Just like everyone had the same reaction when they saw Alpha before, Kisaragi Suisuke was also a little confused by the appearance of Alpha.

However, Kisaragi Suisuke performed better than Matsumoto Rangiku who was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. At least he was confused about Alpha's existence and did not forget to put pressure on Hideno Hideichi.

"Hangyan Dragon Fang!"

The thunder and fire of the Tapir Yao Saber were sent into the deck of the cruise ship below. Even above the river, several pillars of fire shot out into the sky.

These pillars of fire surrounded Higashino Shuichi, and new pillars of fire were constantly generated under Higashino Shuichi's feet, trying to pull Higashino Shuichi into the scorching purgatory.

This forced Higashino Shuichi to give up Kisaragi Shusuke who was close at hand, and instead tapped his feet lightly on the already bumpy deck, briefly distancing himself from Kisaragi Shusuke.

At the same time, Kisaragi Suisuke's action also had another purpose, which was to split the cruise ship into two halves due to the previous impact, and could only barely maintain the unsinkable cruise ship under the control of spiritual power. Break down again.

This time, Kisaragi Susuke isolated Kabutoma Sayeko and Nagasawa Satomi from all of them.

"Oh? Do you want to be serious with me?"

Seeing this scene, Higashino Shuichi smiled.

Why did he feel that Kisaragi Susuke made slow progress when he was with him, but after leaving him, he became more and more his own style.

After confirming that the enemy had nothing to bypass him but threatened the intentions and abilities of others, he took the initiative to divide the battlefield. Isn't this a tactic that Higashino Shuichi often used in the past?

"Huh, I don't need to be serious about dealing with you!"

Kisaragi Susuke replied stubbornly.

The movements of the body are otherwise honest.

Booming Flame Dragon Fang·Explosion!

Kisaragi Suisuke did not pronounce the name of this move, but Higashino Shuichi had already seen through Kisaragi Suisuke's thoughts by searching his memory.

Yes, yes, you don’t need to be serious. If you have the ability, why don’t you use your strongest regular move?

Higashino Shuichi discovered that even the little tricks he used to deceive people in the battle had been learned by Shusuke Kisaragi.

The pillar of flame that had been ignited around Higashino Shuichi changed its direction at this moment, forming a huge net in the not-so-rich spiritual pressure shielding space and closing in on Higashino Shuichi.

Even the gaps in this big net were filled with sparks that kept flickering, leaving no chance for Higashino to take a chance.

And Higashino Shuichi also knew that even if he wanted to slowly wear away this fire net, it would be basically impossible with his current Quincy body.

Because on the river surface around Higashino Shuichi, there were still pillars of flame spurting upward from under the river surface.

These flame pillars are ready to fill the vacancies at any time.

Therefore, Higashino Hideyuki had only one choice, which was to quickly break through this layer of fire net with lightning speed.

"It's a bit difficult, but it's also pretty good. Being able to push my Quincy body to this level when I can't use my core ability of passivation, I think I'll be able to do it when I face the God of Death in the future. There are not many who are your opponents."

Higashino Shuichi looked at the increasingly tightening fire net around him, and the hot breath slapped his face, but he didn't panic at all.

Outside, isolated by the fire net, Kabutima Sayoko looked in this direction, with some curiosity in his eyes.

In fact, as early as when Kisaragi Susuke fell, she wanted to tell Kisaragi Susuke that Kabuto Takuya's true identity should be Higashino Shuichi.

But when she saw the same fighting spirit in Higashikata's glance, she hesitated.

Her intuition told her that Shuichi-kun should be looking forward to this fight with Kisaragi Suisuke without Kisaragi Suisuke's knowledge.

So she only moved her lips slightly, but never said anything more.

Instead, he came to Nagasawa Satomi's side, bent down, and felt Matsumoto Rangiku's heartbeat that was gradually starting to become stronger.

This undoubtedly confirmed Douma Sayeko's suspicion.

"However, Shuichi-kun, Suisuke-kun has grown a lot during your absence. If you don't take the initiative to reveal your identity and use your death ability, I'm afraid you will suffer at the hands of Suisuke-kun." ~”

I don't know why, but at this time, Kabutuma Sayeko was actually looking forward to Kisaragi Suisuke winning this "discussion" between master and apprentice.

Because whenever he thought of Higashino Shuichi's embarrassed look afterward, Sayoko Kabutuma found it interesting.

After all, she had rarely seen Higashino show that kind of expression.

However, Kabutuma Sayeko was destined to be disappointed.

The green flames rose in the fire net built by Ruyue Xiuzhu, and in the unbelievable eyes of Ruyue Xiuzhu, the fire net that Ruyue Xiuzhu had put great effort into weaving appeared in front of the green flames. , just like window paper, it breaks when touched.

Everyone is also a flame. Do you want your flame to be so shameless?

It's a pity that reality is not a game and there is no report button. Otherwise, Kisaragi Suisuke would definitely report to the Quincy opposite him now.

But even with this button, Kisaragi Suisuke's report will definitely not be successful, because the cyan flame is not, in essence, a real flame.

It was a specialized version of Higashino Shuichi's imitation of the spirit-condensed flame used by the future Yhwach - the spirit-condensed flame cluster.

That is, a large number of souls are gathered into a line through extreme compression, and then ignited all over in an instant, allowing them to explode with unparalleled destructive power at both ends of the line.

This is like the relationship between pressure and pressure.

Higashino Shuichi's current Quincy body does not have the support of Yhwach's super strong spiritual pressure, and the number of spirit sons at his disposal is limited. Therefore, this method of reducing the explosion area must be used to increase the destructive power.

The locations Higashino Shuichi attacked were the key nodes where Kisaragi Suisuke had set up the network.

The flames were still burning, and the cyan light only left dozens of fleeting phantoms in the sky before disappearing into the sky like meteors.

But the fire net that wanted to wrap Higashino Shuichi no longer existed.

At this moment, Kisaragi Susuke finally recalled his predicament more than ten years ago.

At that time, because his Zanpakutō was destroyed, he could only rely on his unskilled Kidō to fight. In most battles, he was unable to participate or even held back.

It wasn't until he conquered the Tapir Yao Dao Thunder Fire that he finally changed the situation.

He originally thought that his life would enter a new chapter, but now...

Kisaragi Susuke couldn't help but clenched the tapiraya knife in his hand. He regretted that he hadn't studied the ghost way and cutting techniques for so many years. Even if he didn't have talent, he had to learn it hard, so he wouldn't be in trouble. After his Tapir Yao Knife ability failed to work, he lost more means of defeating the enemy.

"Hangyan Dragon Fang!"

But what can be done?

It was too late to regret now. Kisaragi Suisuke gritted his teeth and launched another attack on Higashino Shuichi. Even if this attack would probably be cracked, he had no choice.

"Okay, that's it, Xiusuke, I already have a rough idea of ​​your strength~"

But even if Kisaragi Suisuke wants to continue, Higashino Shuichi has no intention of continuing.

After all, it was not a life and death battle. At this point in the battle, when Kisaragi Susuke used the Flame Dragon Fang again, Higashino Shuichi already knew that Kisaragi Susuke was at the end of his skills.

But this cannot be blamed on Kisaragi Suisuke, it is really because his version of the Quincy is a bit advanced. If it were any other Quincy today, Kisaragi Suisuke would not have fought so hard.

Moreover, Kisaragi Suisuke himself is a Death God special attack, so it is not that easy to deal with Quincy or Hollow.

"you know me?"

After hearing Higashino Shuichi's words, although Kisaragi Suisuke did not lower his guard, he still cast a doubtful look at Higashino Shuichi.

"Of course, because this body was specially crafted by me to adapt to the Quincy's abilities. As for my Death God's body, it is currently in Soul Society and it is inconvenient to come here."

Higashino Shuichi replied.

Now that we have talked about it, Kisaragi Suisuke will know Higashino Shuichi’s identity no matter how long he stays.

"Are you, Mr. Shuichi?!!"

Kisaragi Susuke said in surprise.

Behind him, Sayoko Kabutuma showed an expression that was indeed true.

As for Satomi Nagasawa, who had not reacted during the whole process, her pupils were even more shocked. She looked at Higashino Shuichi, then at Kabuto Masayako, then at Matsumoto Rangiku in her arms, and finally noticed the smile on the corner of Matsumoto Rangiku's mouth. A faint smile.

My dear, are Susuke-kun and I the only ones who were kept in the dark?

Rangiku, bad!

Miss Sayako is also bad!

Of course, the worst thing is that Xiu Yiyi!

Who is this!

Looking at the colorful expressions of the people opposite, Higashino Shuichi smiled lightly and said,

"It seems a little late now, but I still want to tell you,

I'm back~"
