People are in death, unlimited sword control at the beginning.

"Bam—"

"Whoosh whoosh-"

Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakutō collided with Souto's claws, and was directly knocked back by the huge force, and her feet left two long marks on the ground.

"So strong!"

Matsumoto Rangiku was secretly shocked.

If Captain Ailin had not taken out her soul from the Hougyoku and returned it to her during the battle with Aizen two years ago, causing Rangiku Matsumoto's spiritual pressure to increase significantly in the past two years, she would probably have been killed by Soudo with the attack just now.

"Oh?"

Sou was a little surprised that he failed to kill Matsumoto Rangiku in one move.

In Cang Du's opinion, except for the captains, the rest of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads are just ants.

Even though Matsumoto Rangiku was the vice-captain, she was not taken seriously by Cangdu.

Therefore, in the previous attack, Cangdu did not use the blood-activating equipment.

Now it seems that it is impossible to quickly get rid of this deputy captain without using the blood-activating equipment.

At that moment, Cangdu's mind moved, and he injected his own spiritual pressure into the blood, and several blue lines appeared on the surface of his body.

"call out!"

"Croon—grey cat!"

Seeing that Cangdu was attacking her again at an extremely fast speed, Matsumoto Rangiku did not dare to delay at all and directly released her Zanpakuto.

"boom!"

White spiritual pressure burst out from Rangiku Matsumoto's body, and then Rangiku Matsumoto's Zanpakutō turned into countless dust and rushed towards Cangdu under Rangiku Matsumoto's control.

"Shh!"

Sodu stretched out his claws, and the dust turned from Matsumoto Rangiku's gray cat was directly swept back by a gust of wind.

"Drink!"

Matsumoto Rangiku waved the hand holding the hilt of her Zanpakuto, and suddenly, the swept dust formed a gray tornado with the help of the strong wind created by Soudu, and continued to attack Soudu.

"Humph!"

Cang Du snorted coldly. With the previous move, he had already tested the ability of the vice-captain's Zanpakuto.

The Zanpakutō turns into ash, and the moment the woman swings the sword, the ash will cut the enemy like a blade.

Perhaps, compared to other Quincies, Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakuto ability is quite good and she can fight against many enemies alone.

However, to Souto, Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakutō posed no threat at all.

Even if he didn't use the "Still Blood Armor", with only his own holy word ability "Steel", Matsumoto Rangiku's gray cat would not be able to cause him any harm.

Therefore, facing the incoming ash tornado, Cang Du did not even try to dodge it, but directly crashed into the dust tornado.

After the gray cat's dust tornado completely enveloped Souto, Matsumoto Rangiku let out a cry and swung the hilt of her Zanpakutō downwards.

"Dang, clang, clang, clang..."

In an instant, the sounds of countless weapons clashing rang out on Cangdu's body. Every sound brought up sparks in the darkness. It looked like Cangdu was rushing towards Matsumoto Rangiku like a comet surrounded by starlight.

"This guy's body is so hard!"

Matsumoto Rangiku was slightly surprised that her attack did not cause any harm to Cangdu.

However, this difficulty is not enough to bother Matsumoto Rangiku.

Because of the problem of the attack power of her own Zanpakutō, Matsumoto Rangiku has encountered opponents whose defenses she could not break.

But why is she the only one who survived after so many years?

"Cat Rondo!"

Matsumoto Rangiku waved the hilt of the sword in her hand, and in an instant, the dust surrounding Cangdu spun rapidly, and the sparks produced by the friction with Cangdu's body seemed to turn Cangdu into a big fireball.

Of course, the dust that attacked Cangdu was just a trick of Rangiku Matsumoto.

Some inconspicuous dust slowly entered Cangdu's body through his mouth and nostrils in these whirlpools.

When the amount of dust that entered Sodu's body reached a certain amount, Matsumoto Rangiku suddenly swung the Zanpakuto in her hand down.

"cut!"

"Dang Dang Dang——"

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Under the attack of Matsumoto Rangiku, Sou's body shook, stopped the attack, covered his mouth with one hand, and kept coughing.

"Quincy, you are defeated."

Countless dust returned and condensed into the shape of a blade on the hilt of Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakuto.

Pointing the Zanpakutō in her hand at Soudou, Matsumoto Rangiku said coldly: "Indeed, your defense is very strong. Even if my gray cat tries its best, it can't hurt you."

"But can the defense of your internal organs be as strong as the defense of your external organs?"

"While you were proud of your strong body defense, part of the dust that my gray cat turned into had already entered your body."

"Just now, I swung my Zanpakutō down. I think your internal organs have been completely destroyed."

After Matsumoto Rangiku finished speaking, she slowly sheathed her Zanpakutō.

No one can survive with all his internal organs destroyed.

Well, Lord Ling Wang is an exception.

"Is it?"

However, just as Matsumoto Rangiku was about to turn around, Sou released the hand that was covering her mouth.

"what?"

Matsumoto Rangiku's pupils contracted.

Generally speaking, when the internal organs are damaged, their broken fragments will turn into blood foam and spray out of the mouth.

But at this moment, there was not even a drop of saliva at the corners of Cangdu's mouth, let alone blood foam.

This means that Rangiku Matsumoto's previous attack did not cause any harm to Cangdu at all.

"Qiang!"

Matsumoto Rangiku drew out her Zanpakutō in an instant and looked at Soudou with a serious expression.

This Quincy is so strong!

Cangdu opened his hands, and a handful of dust flew in his hands.

"This is, my gray cat?"

Matsumoto Rangiku looked down at her Zanpakutō and discovered that there was a notch on the blade of her Zanpakutō.

After Cangdu opened his hands, the dust flew to the gap in Matsumoto Rangiku's Zanpakutō and filled it.

"You are right, Death."

"The ability that Your Majesty has bestowed upon me is 'Steel'."

"That is to say, my body, both inside and out, has a hardness comparable to that of steel."

"Not to mention you, even that guy Haschwald can't break my defense."

Originally, based on Cangdu’s previous arrogance, he wanted to say that no one could break his defense.

However, after being slashed by the 11th Division Captain Zaraki, Cang Du became somewhat unconfident in his own abilities.

Therefore, he changed his target to Haschwald, the leader of the Knights Stern.

After hearing what Sodu said, Matsumoto Rangiku felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

The whole body was actually as hard as steel. In this way, my gray cat was useless. If things went wrong, I might die here today.

"Haha, you're really arrogant."

"There are many Shinigami who can cut through steel."

"If you meet those captains, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape."

In the face of Matsumoto Rangiku's sarcasm, Cang Du remained silent.

He was afraid of meeting other captains again, so he hunted the dead gods in the areas where each squad was patrolling.

"I admit that."

"But unfortunately, you are not the captain of the Gotei 13."

"Then, let you be the first vice-captain to die in my hands!"

After saying that, Cang Du bent his body slightly and wanted to attack Matsumoto Rangiku again.

"Oh my, then I wonder if I, the former captain of the Gotei 13, can cut through your steel?"

Just as Cang Du was about to launch an attack, a teasing voice sounded in the darkness.

Hearing this voice, Matsumoto Rangiku felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

"Yin, why are you here?"

Looking back, Matsumoto Rangiku didn't even care about Sora in front of her.

It seemed that she felt that as long as Yin came, she would not be in any danger.

"Former captain of the Gotei 13?"

Cangdu was shocked and wanted to escape immediately, but after seeing that Matsumoto Rangiku had revealed such a big flaw, he immediately changed his mind.

I think it shouldn't be a problem to kill this deputy captain of the Death God instantly and then escape.

How could a mere former captain be as powerful as the captain of the 11th Division whom he had met before?
Even if this former captain of the 13th Division who suddenly appeared possessed strength comparable to Zaraki, it would be impossible for him to be killed in an instant, right?

Thinking of this, blue spiritual pressure patterns appeared on Cangdu's body.

In order to kill Matsumoto Rangiku instantly, he activated the "Blood Moving Suit" which could increase his defense to the limit.

Then, Souto's spiritual pressure exploded and turned into a black light that attacked Matsumoto Rangiku.

But unfortunately, Cangdu's attack did not succeed.

A beam of white light burst out from the darkness, piercing Cangdu's entire body.

The enormous force sent Cangdu flying backwards, smashing one house after another.

At this time, Ichimaru Gin's playful voice sounded in Cangdu's ears.

"Shoot him—a sharpshooter!"

The white light dissipated, and Gin Ichimaru, wearing a white chef's robe, appeared in front of Matsumoto Rangiku.

"Yin, why are you here?"

"Well, I sensed some fluctuations in your Reiatsu in the store, so I came here to check it out."

Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes and explained to Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Really? That's all thanks to Silver."

"If you hadn't come, I would have died here."

"You..."

Seeing Matsumoto Rangiku's giggling appearance, Ichimaru Gin could only shake his head lovingly.

"By the way, Silver."

After the crisis was resolved, Matsumoto Rangiku looked at Ichimaru Gin's hand curiously.

"I remember your Zanpakutō was taken back. How come you can still use the power of your Zanpakutō?"

Matsumoto Rangiku would not mistake the white light from before.

That is the Silver Zanpakutō "Divine Spear".

Moreover, just now, Gin Ichimaru also uttered the liberation words of the divine spear.

However, according to Matsumoto Rangiku's understanding, it would be impossible to use the Zanpakutō's abilities without a Zanpakutō.

Otherwise, when the Gotei 13 capture those criminal Shinigami, there will be no rule to confiscate their Zanpakutō.

However, Gin did release his Zanpakutō before.

"What do you mean..."

If someone else asked, Gin Ichimaru would definitely not tell them.

But the one who asked this question was Rangiku Matsumoto. In front of Rangiku, Gin Ichimaru had no secrets.

"This is what my teacher told me, the three stages of training for the Shinigami Zanpakuto."

"In the first stage, the god of death uses his own soul to nurture the spirit in the shallow hit. When the spirit is cultivated to a certain degree, the spirit of the Zanpakutō will tell the god of death its name."

"This stage is called the 'Shikai' of the Zanpakutō by the Shinigami."

"The second stage is for the god of death to nurture the spirit in the Zanpakuto to its limit. If they succeed in making it materialize in reality and make it surrender, they will complete the second stage of Zanpakuto training."

"This stage is called the 'Bankai' of the Zanpakutō by the Shinigami."

"The third stage is to fully merge the power of the Zanpakutō with the Shinigami."

"Teacher said that the spirit of Zanpakuto was bred by the god of death, and is the same as the god of death."

"After the spirit of the Zanpakutō has been nurtured and grown to its limit, the 'spirit' of the Zanpakutō can be completely merged with one's own soul, allowing the power of the Zanpakutō to completely return to oneself, completing the final training."

"My Zanpakutō, 'Divine Spear', grew to its limit with the power of the Hogyoku while in Hueco Mundo."

"After returning to Soul Society, my Zanpakutō was confiscated, but the connection between it and me was not severed. I can still use 'Sword Zen' to get in touch with my Zanpakutō."

"After two years of training, I finally lived up to Sensei Aylin's expectations and completed the fusion of my Zanpakutō with myself."

"That is to say, now I can condense my spiritual pressure into a 'divine spear' at any time and use the power of the divine spear to attack the enemy."

"Just like now..."

After saying that, Ichimaru Gin stretched out his hand forward.

Matsumoto Rangiku looked in the direction where Ichimaru Gin's hand was pointing, only to see that Sou, who had been attacked by Ichimaru Gin before, was now fleeing quickly.

"how is this possible?"

"That man actually stabbed me with just one sword?"

At this moment, there was a hint of panic on Cangdu's face.

Before coming to Soul Society, Cang Du was very satisfied with his own abilities and felt that he was the strongest Quincy besides Haschwalth, the leader of the Sternknights.

The first time he fought against the captain of the Shinigami, he almost had his defenses cut through by the captain of the 11th Division, Zaraki.

With great difficulty, other Stern Cross Knights managed to hold Zaraki back, allowing Souzu to escape, but Souzu never expected that he would meet another "former captain of the 13th Division".

In just a moment, his body was pierced.

Although he did not use the "Blood Calming Suit" to enhance his defense this time because he was going to attack the deputy captain of the Death God, but since the existence could pierce his body with one sword, Cang felt that even if he used the "Blood Calming Suit", he might not be able to withstand several attacks from the opponent.

This guy's attack power is no weaker than the captain of the 11th Division he had met before.

He stood up from the ground, holding his chest, and blood dripped through Cangdu's fingers.

"I have to escape quickly..."

"If I stay any longer, I will die!" (End of this chapter)
