Chapter 1080: The Fall of Byakuya Kuchiki
Byakuya Kuchiki looked at Ichigo Kurosaki, and was very angry at what the other party said.

"You don't understand anything."

"I admire your courage!"

"But I sympathize with your ignorance even more!"

Kuchiki Byakuya's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a majesty that could not be ignored.

He knew very well that the conversation between him and Ichigo Kurosaki had long deviated from the rational track, but the pride and beliefs that had been touched made it impossible for him to give up easily.

However, reason told him that it was meaningless to continue such an argument, so he made the most direct and most consistent decision with his character - to prove everything through fighting.

"Let's scatter, Senbonzakura."

As Byakuya Kuchiki groaned, an invisible force burst out from his body, and the Zanpakutō in his hand turned into cherry blossom petals, but in the blink of an eye condensed into a sharp blade, dancing around him, forming a picture that was both beautiful and deadly.

This is the unleashed form of Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakutō, the Senbonzakura, and each blade contains enough power to penetrate the soul.

However, this time, Ichigo Kurosaki did not choose to wait or hide as he had done in the past. His eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and resolve.

He knew very well that the purpose of his trip was not to engage in a meaningless fight, but to save Rukia Kuchiki.

Therefore, when Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura had not yet fully launched its gorgeous and deadly offensive, Ichigo Kurosaki had already taken action.

"boom--!!"

As the punch was thrown, the air seemed to be torn apart, and a gust of wind that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, accompanied by a deafening roar, instantly swept across the entire battlefield.

Every punch of Kurosaki Ichigo was extremely accurate, as if he could see the trajectory of each blade, make predictions in advance, and defeat them one by one.

Those cherry blossom blades that had seemed invulnerable were as fragile as pieces of paper under his fists, and they fell apart and turned into nothingness.

This scene shocked everyone present. Kuchiki Byakuya's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes filled with disbelief and disbelief.

He never thought that in the face of his powerful strength, Kurosaki Ichigo could break his Senbonzakura so easily. This was not only a denial of his strength, but also a heavy blow to his beliefs and pride.

"Why……"

Byakuya Kuchiki's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't understand why Ichigo Kurosaki could grow to such a level in such a short period of time.

In the world of death, time seems to be stretched, and a thousand years is just a blink of an eye.

The battle and strength between them should have grown slowly with the passage of time, but the reality before him forced him to re-examine the boy.

As a bystander, Yoruichi Shihouin also had mixed feelings at the moment. She had witnessed Ichigo Kurosaki's growth with her own eyes, and she also knew his inner tenacity and perseverance.

But even so, she didn't expect that Ichigo Kurosaki would be so powerful that even Byakuya Kuchiki couldn't match him. She had an inexplicable premonition in her heart, as if she saw a more shocking change in the future quietly brewing.

Byakuya Kuchiki knew in his heart that Ichigo Kurosaki had not actually attacked him, and this deliberate holding back made him feel unprecedented complex emotions - it was both a recognition of his opponent's strength and a subtle touch to his self-esteem.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you may not understand that with the death of Captain Aizen, the shackles that have bound us for so long have quietly disintegrated."

Kuchiki Byakuya's voice echoed in the quiet air, with a subtle sense of relief and determination. His words revealed a change, a break from the constraints of the past, and an expectation of the power that was about to be released.

As the words fell, the aura around Byakuya Kuchiki began to surge, as if some powerful force was awakening.

He slowly raised his right hand, and his fingertips lightly touched the Zanpakutō that had accompanied him for many years - Senbonzakura.

"Now, I can unleash my true power - Bankai - in any corner of the Soul Society."

Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes became unusually firm, and his words were filled with unquestionable confidence.

As he gently loosened his fingers that were gripping the hilt of the knife, the Senbonzakura slowly fell to the ground in an almost graceful manner, but it did not penetrate into the soil as ordinary people would imagine. Instead, it seemed to merge into the ground, causing circles of tiny ripples.

Upon hearing this, Ichigo Kurosaki stopped walking, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in his eyes. He had indeed never seen the power of Bankai with his own eyes, and this unknown made him temporarily put aside the idea of ​​attacking, and instead waited for the next change as an observer.

"Bankai, scatter! Senbonzakura Kageaki!"

Following this low shout, the entire space seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. Under the ground, countless tiny blades quickly condensed into sharp blades like awakened cherry blossom petals, slowly rising up to form a vast sea of ​​cherry blossoms.

There were so many blades that it was difficult to count. They intertwined and rotated in the air, forming an almost invulnerable attack net that surrounded Ichigo Kurosaki.

"This is the essence of Senbonzakura, an all-round attack with no blind spots woven together by nearly hundreds of millions of blades."

Byakuya Kuchiki's voice sounded exceptionally calm amid the symphony of blades. He knew very well that the power of this move was enough to scare away most enemies.

However, facing Ichigo Kurosaki in front of him, he felt an unprecedented pressure, which was an oppression from the powerful strength of his opponent.

The sea of ​​cherry blossoms surged, and every blade shone with a cold light. They attacked Kurosaki Ichigo with the force of thunder, trying to devour him completely.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not show any fear on his face, but instead a faint smile appeared on his lips. He knew very well that the advantage of numbers was nothing but a passing cloud for the truly strong.

"Quantity is the most useless and meaningless thing, Byakuya Kuchiki."

Ichigo Kurosaki's voice was particularly clear amid the roar of the blade, and his words were full of a deep understanding and confidence in power.

Just when everyone thought he was about to get into trouble, Ichigo Kurosaki's figure flashed by like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of Byakuya Kuchiki. The distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing.

He seemed to have transformed into a black lightning, instantly piercing through the densely packed blades and appearing in front of Byakuya Kuchiki. The astonishing speed made even Byakuya Kuchiki, the captain of the Sixth Division, feel a palpitation.
