Chapter 769: One Wrong Move Means a Complete Loss

The sharp blade was already on Yhwach's neck. One second? Perhaps even one second was not needed, and Ichigo could cut off the hateful head!

However, the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the scarlet eyes reflected Ichigo's figure, making him suddenly realize that he was still in a tragic war.

Ichigo unconsciously increased the strength of his left hand, but no matter how hard he tried, the sharp blade could not move forward even an inch.

At some point, a hand silently grabbed the back of his blade. It was Yhwach's right hand. It didn't seem to have any strength, and it was even a little trembling, but it became the strongest barrier to stop Ichigo.

"Are you sure you want to be my enemy? My child born in darkness."

Yhwach's voice was deep, and his tone was even more kind, and Ichigo actually felt a moment of guilt in his heart.

However, this feeling was soon dispelled. Looking at the emotionless, blood-red eyes of Yhwach, Ichigo knew that the man in front of him did not deserve the slightest pity and sympathy. Even though the Quincy race existed because of his existence, he was also the culprit who took away the lives of many Shinigami and even Quincy, including his mother!

"I wish I could end this quickly, Yhwach!" Ichigo said with gritted teeth.

Yhwach did not seem surprised at all, "Is that so? That's a pity." As soon as he finished speaking, a blue cross emerged from his forehead, slowly enlarging in the air while emitting dazzling light, "Cross Sanctuary!"

The light seemed to contain infinite power. The moment it touched Ichigo, Ichigo flew backwards uncontrollably, and could only helplessly watch the hateful figure, the dim hall, and the huge ice palace gradually disappear in his sight.

Not only Ichigo, but also Sar Apollo, Ichimaru Gin, Stark, Lessen and others were forced back by the spreading light and flew out of the ice palace uncontrollably.

But this light was like a tolerant mother to Penida, Lijie and Gerard, gently embracing them in her arms.

The blue light was still spreading, and soon reached the first floor of the Ice Palace, where Hongjiang was fighting with Hasward and Yaskin.

"Your Majesty..."

"It seems that the fatal night is finally over."

Hasward and Yaskin talked to themselves one after another, but from the latter's tone, one could feel a sense of relief that he was finally relieved.

If possible, Yaskin really didn't want to face Hongjiang again. This man was too deadly to him and them.

Hongjiang on the other side did not escape the fate of being expelled by the blue light, but with the appropriate spiritual power to resist, he flew out of the Ice Palace, but did not leave far.

He looked up at the Ice Palace. No, it was really unworthy of the name to describe it as a palace at this moment.

Not to mention the places destroyed by the battle, the Cross Sanctuary cast by Youhabach alone almost destroyed it.

No one would have thought that the broken tower, which was supported only by broken walls and pillars and seemed to collapse in the next second, was once a magnificent palace.

Hongjiang raised his head and easily saw the three people on the top floor and the lonely throne.

Hasward and Yaskin quickly rushed to the top floor after asking Hongjiang for help. When they saw the wound on Youhabach's chest, Hasward immediately knelt on one knee and apologized: "I am willing to take the blame for letting strangers hurt your majesty!"

Lijie, Gerard, and Yaskin also knelt on one knee to apologize, and Penida also bent down, but he just mumbled in his mouth, and it was unclear what he was saying.

"It was a long and cold night. Even if I open my eyes now, I can't forget that terrible feeling."

Yhuhabach said, standing up from the throne. His voice sounded a little weak, "But thanks to Masco, B.J. Quinn, Ace, and Pepe, the world in my eyes has become clearer. Of course, you have also contributed to this."

Yhuhabach raised his hand and continued: "So get up, Hasward, I forgive you."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!" Several people replied in unison, and then stood up.

Yhuhabach turned around, walked around his throne, moved his eyes downward, and locked on a figure not far away.

"You almost made me sink into the endless darkness again, Hiroe Chouzuka. It's a great achievement." Yhwach's tone was full of admiration. "If you had done it yourself, you wouldn't have missed the chance to defeat me."

Hongjiang snorted coldly. No matter how close he was to success, when failure came, there were no more ifs. Even if it was just one move, the end result was a complete loss.

Yhwach seemed to be able to see through his heart and continued, "You can accept the failure calmly. Your excellence can still surprise me now. Even as a death god, such an excellent existence is enough to become an important part of the new world I created."

"So, don't think about it again, Hiroe Chouzuka?" Yhwach advised, "Join us. With your wisdom, it's not difficult to find that you can't stop us. Otherwise, with your exquisite calculations and strength that is not inferior to ours, it is not impossible to kill me."

"There is more than one chance, Yhwach." Hongjiang retorted.

Yhuhabach immediately replied: "In fact, you have no chance, Chouzuka Hiroe. There is no one around you who can be trusted, so you failed. It's that simple."

This time, without waiting for Hiroe to answer, an astonishing spiritual pressure suddenly erupted in the distance. Ichigo jumped up from a distance, swung the short sword in his left hand, and left a crescent-shaped slash in the air.

"Crescent-shaped Sky Strike!"

Yhuhabach didn't even look back, and turned his back to Ichigo, allowing the crescent-shaped slash to approach him.

In fact, he didn't need to deal with Ichigo. Gerard protected him behind him in time, and swung his long sword to cut off Ichigo's Crescent-shaped Sky Strike.

At the same time, Lijie raised the sniper rifle in his hand, pointed the muzzle directly at Ichigo, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Ichigo blocked with his sword, but the strong impact still knocked him to the ground. Although he was not injured, it seemed impossible to launch another attack.

"And you, Kurosaki Ichigo, are also someone worth looking forward to." Yhwach slowly turned around and once again reflected Ichigo into his blood-red eyes, "But compared to Chouzuka Hiroe, you still need time, a long time to hone yourself."

"You are not good enough, and you have not become another Chouzuka Hiroe, so you failed, and you are doomed to fail."
