Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

Chapter 692 You're the villain!

“It would have been a bit of a loss if it had been done that way. It’s fine as it is now, don’t you think?” Yu Zi said with a hint of amusement. “Grandpa.”

The battlefield instantly descended into chaos. Not only were Yuuko and Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni caught in the crossfire, but even Unohana Retsu and her two companions, who were standing not far away, were targeted.

"What the hell are these two doing?"

The question is no longer whether to save him after one side loses; the question is how to stop these two.

If this fight continues, it's uncertain who will die first, but the Seireitei and Soul Society will definitely be the first to fall.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could clearly feel that he had lost control of the undead army, and charred skeletons were slowly surging towards him like a horde of corpses.

That's a tricky skill.

Cold sweat trickled down Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's forehead as he was forced to divert his attention to deal with the attacks coming from within himself. Although these undead were individually weak, they were virtually endless and continued to surge towards him.

Although it was something that could be wiped out with a casual swing of his Zanpakuto, it still drained his stamina and spiritual pressure.

"Grandpa, the feeling of being chased by the ghosts you killed must be quite unique, right?" Yu Zi stood at the other end of the battlefield, unharmed, easily dodging the few skeletons rushing towards her. "Do you know? This is called karma."

Yuko almost laughed at herself. Even though the rule she set was to attack indiscriminately, very few skeletons were coming towards her.

"Jiguo...Ikuko..."

Continuing like this will not only fail to help him, but will also cause him to suffer more losses.

However, the summoned corpses had completely lost control, and fortunately, there was no further supply to the front lines. As long as these corpses were eliminated, the matter would be settled.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni unleashed a slash, the fiery spiritual pressure sweeping out and obliterating the surging corpses.

boom! ! !

The terrifying explosion engulfed everything, and the entire Twin Peaks trembled violently under the force, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The intense heat blinded everyone temporarily, and the soul-consuming heat instantly reached Unohana Retsu and the others, obliterating the corpses that trapped them. Kyoraku Shunsui and Unohana Retsu were forced to use their spiritual pressure to resist.

When the flames subsided and the dust settled.

The top of Twin Strike Hill had been completely sheared off, leaving the ground scorched black. The endless army of the dead had vanished without a trace.

In the center of that scorched earth, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's imposing body was covered in wounds.

He was breathing heavily, his arm holding the sword trembled slightly, his shihaka armor was torn to shreds by the undead, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

He paid a heavy price to cleanse himself of his own ghosts.

Opposite him, Yuko was still standing there.

The black spiritual pressure that enveloped her entire body now appeared somewhat dim, clearly indicating that this battle was no simple matter for her and had taken a heavy toll on her. However, compared to Captain-Commander Yamamoto's disheveled state, her condition was undoubtedly much better.

The situation on the battlefield was completely reversed at this moment.

"What a spectacular fireworks display." Yu Zi walked slowly forward, his footsteps particularly clear on the deathly silent battlefield. "To clean house, he didn't hesitate to burn himself. Old man, I admire your courage."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni slowly stood up, tore off the tattered shihaka robes hanging on his body, revealing his muscular upper body.

"The battle is not over yet," he said in a hoarse voice, straightening his stance.

"Is that so?" Yu Zi stopped in her tracks, her smile turning cold. "Do you really think you still have a chance?"

“I told you so. A hundred years ago, you couldn’t kill me. A hundred years later, you still can’t.” Her voice wasn’t loud, but every word was piercing. “Your era should have ended long ago, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. You cling to those outdated rules, but you haven’t noticed that the entire Seireitei has been rotting from the inside out.”

"No, maybe it was rotten from the start."

"Shut up!" Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni shouted coldly. "Those who disregard justice, I will surely kill."

Yu Zi paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I mean, it seems you haven't figured it out yet."

"The protagonist is on my side."

"In other words, sir, you're the villain."

"Forget it, judging from your appearance, your spiritual pressure is already fluctuating wildly. If you get hit and your Bankai disintegrates, you'll be in big trouble."

Yuko calmly raised her Zanpakuto. "Let's settle this with the next move."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's expression hardened, and he slowly raised his Zanpakuto. He didn't speak, but responded to Yuko with his actions.

If this continues, Soul Society will not be able to hold on.

I'll use my last resort...

The most important thing is to actually hit her with a slash. That spatial teleportation ability is meaningless if you can't hit her.

At this point, relying on abilities is no longer an option; we need to use our combat experience to determine where she might appear.

Logically speaking, her back should be her favorite spot after teleporting, because attacks from behind are always harder to dodge than attacks from other positions.

But at this moment he was facing Yuko, with his back to the other side of Shuangji Hill, where the Ryoka and the captain were still fighting.

A head-on confrontation is unlikely, but which side, the right or the left?

Before Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni could finish his analysis, Ikuko had already begun adjusting her spiritual pressure.

crackle~

Strands of crimson spiritual pressure began to flicker on the black aura, like red lightning, wrapping around Yuko's body.

"Instantaneous roar, open!"

Yuko sheathed her Zanpakuto, lowered her body slightly, a glint of spiritual power flashed in her eyes, and her spiritual pressure continued to rise.

This was the limit of first-class spiritual pressure, but in that instant, her spiritual pressure had already successfully caught up with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.

Is it the front?

Upon witnessing this scene, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni couldn't help but think this.

Yu Zi adjusted her breathing slightly, and with a flash of her figure, a streak of red lightning swept past her as she broke straight through.

The black aura swirling around her intertwined with crimson lightning, creating a streak of crimson-black light in mid-air.

"Snow Breathing - Eighth Form - Unending Snow!"

Her voice seemed to come from the icy hell below the nine netherworlds, clearly reaching Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's ears.

"Zanka no Tachi·North·Heaven and Earth Ashes!"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also roared furiously, throwing all his judgments and doubts to the back of his mind.

A slash of flame, refined to its extreme and seemingly capable of splitting the world in two, tore through space and met the crimson-black stream of light.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment.

The hearts of Kyoraku Shunsui and the others in the distance almost stopped beating. They could only watch helplessly as two energies powerful enough to overturn the Soul Society were about to collide in the most devastating way.

However, just before the crimson-black light was about to collide with the fiery strike, a sudden change occurred!

Directly in front of the two attackers, in the center of Twin Phantom Hill, a figure suddenly appeared.

"What..." Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro's pupils contracted instantly.

“Ah…” Retsu Unohana also opened her eyes slightly.

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni also saw the figure clearly, but the slash had already been completely unleashed, and he could not force a counterattack.

Rukia, dressed in a white prison uniform, seemed to be drawn to the bright flames beside her, staring blankly at the eerie flames bursting forth.

She appeared abruptly at the intersection of two forces capable of destroying the entire Seireitei, like a chess piece carelessly discarded in the center of a chessboard.

Time seemed to be infinitely stretched at this moment.

Rukia's mind went blank; the shadow of death had never loomed over her so clearly and heavily. On one side was the flame that consumed everything, and on the other, the spiritual pressure that exuded a chilling aura.

Either way, it would be enough to make her vanish in an instant, leaving not a trace.

Yu Zi's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't slow down and went straight to meet him.

Just before the crimson-black light and fiery slashes were about to engulf Rukia, Yuko was only half a body length away from Rukia when the black mist enveloping Yuko suddenly unfolded.

The expansion of the domain takes time, but at this close range, it doesn't need to expand too much. The black domain covered Rukia the instant it did.

Rukia's figure disappeared from where she stood and reappeared behind Ikuko.

The distance wasn't far; it was merely the same distance as the distance between the domain behind them and the distance in front of them.

Yuko's ability can influence the rules within a domain when it expands, and while the influence is amplified when it contracts, it can only affect herself.

This is the only way to influence the outside world.

Of course, she can also teleport herself to Rukia's side instantly.

Yuko's rhythm wasn't disrupted by Rukia. After moving Rukia to the back, she moved the hand on the hilt of the sword.

The slash, tinged with black and mixed with crimson spiritual pressure, crashed into the flames that were capable of annihilating everything.

boom! ! !

The Hill of Twin Calamities trembled violently, and the ground beneath its feet cracked and disintegrated inch by inch.

This can no longer be considered a battle between abilities, but rather a battle between spiritual pressure.

The roar did not last long; it stopped abruptly after only a brief contact.

The entire world fell into an eerie silence; sound, sight, and even the spiritual particles themselves seemed to be completely swallowed up by the point of impact.

Immediately afterwards, a shockwave suddenly spread out from the point of contact, creating ripples in space. The mountain of Twin Phantom Hill, in the instant this ripple swept across, vanished silently, layer by layer, like a painting erased from reality.

The three people who were originally able to watch up close now used Instant Step to keep their distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Even they were finding it difficult to withstand that level of force collision.

"what?!"

In the distance, the people engaged in battle felt this terrifying spiritual pressure and stopped attacking, turning their heads to look.

The fighting over there has become increasingly outrageous since just now.

But unexpectedly, the hedging event didn't erupt as dramatically as everyone had anticipated, at least...

Even the Double Killing Hill was not completely destroyed, and there was still a place to stand.

Was it because the attack was neutralized?

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing the scene before them.

"cough……"

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni coughed up a mouthful of blood, his burly body unable to support him any longer, and he collapsed heavily to one knee.

The Zanpakuto in his hand let out a mournful cry, and the terrifying high temperature in its Bankai state receded like a tide, the charred Zanpakuto returning to its original form.

On the other side, Yuko's figure remained standing straight, maintaining the posture of wielding her sword.

The black spiritual pressure that had enveloped her body had disappeared, and the Shunhong wrapped in crimson lightning had also dissipated, revealing her original appearance.

Her long, snow-white hair was somewhat disheveled, a trace of blood clung to the corner of her mouth, and several fine cracks appeared on her fair cheeks, making her look like a fragile porcelain doll.

"Wow……"

A mouthful of blood gushed from her throat. Yuko looked up at Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni and spoke weakly.

"You old codger...you should just admit defeat when you get old..."

Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was already showing signs of exhaustion; his aged fingers trembled slightly as he gripped his Zanpakuto, yet he still harbored the thought of fighting.

He gripped his Zanpakuto, looked up at Yuko, his gaze weary yet resolute.

"you……"

He had barely opened his mouth when his aged eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"cough……"

A sharp pain shot through her abdomen. Yuko looked down and saw a sharp blade piercing through her back.

Another spurt of blood gushed out. Yuko looked resentfully at the shocked Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni: "Now you see clearly, you old geezer..."

“How can you say that, Miss Yuko?” A gentle voice sounded behind Yuko. “It’s clearly the story of the Fifth Division Captain Aizen Sousuke faking his death, enduring humiliation, and ultimately defeating the villains who threatened Soul Society.”

Behind Yuko, Aizen held the hilt of his Zanpakuto in one hand, adjusted his glasses with the other, and smiled slightly.

Whoosh.

Three figures arrived in the blink of an eye, surrounding Aizen and Ikuko.

Kyoraku Shunsui pressed down on the brim of his hat: "Aizen, your affair has been exposed. Come with me."

Aizen's glasses reflected a white light, and a smile played on his lips: "Oh dear, what is Captain Kyoraku saying? Do you choose this traitor over me?"

"Stop lying, you clearly have a villain's face on your lips."

"Speaking of villainous faces, Yuuko-chan..." Aizen's figure vanished instantly, "That was dangerous~"

Yuko sheathed her Zanpakuto and looked calmly at Aizen: "Stop grinning like that. Besides that brainless old idiot over there, who else would believe you?"

Kyoraku Shunsui broke out in a sweat: "We've already won, so let's not say too much."

Ukitake Jushiro was equally embarrassed: "You didn't let the teacher off the hook either!"

Unohana Retsu added casually, "You're the same, Ukitake."

With blood at the corner of her mouth, Yu Zi looked at the three of them with a frustrated expression: "Are you three here to perform a crosstalk routine?"

Watching everyone chatter away, even Aizen couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, a voice filled with boundless rage rang out.

"Aizen!"
