Chapter 805 The Monk's Fear
The monk seemed to just slap him normally, but the air pressure from his palm pierced Hongjiang's eardrum before he even got close to him.
This old man was not kidding. Hongjiang raised his left arm, and the muscles on his forearm bulged instantly. This was the secret technique of white fighting inherited from Yamamoto - Ichibone!
The collision of palm and arm made a huge muffled sound. Hongjiang did not block the monk's palm, and the monk did not make Hongjiang's body tremble even a little. The two of them were evenly matched this time.
"Not bad, kid." The monk smiled again, "Yamamoto didn't teach you in vain."
Everyone in the Gotei 13 said that Hongjiang's temperament was difficult to guess, but Hongjiang said that the monk in front of him - Hyoshubu Ichibei was the one with the real unpredictable temperament.
He suddenly attacked you a moment ago, and now he seems to praise you from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, this kind of thing can be done by Zaraki, but Hyoshubu Ichibei is completely different from him. When he attacks, you can feel the pure malice of the other party, and when he praises you, you can feel the innocence of a child.
But Hongjiang doesn't buy it. He knows that although the other party is moody, he is not a person who will be dominated by emotions.
As the Shinigami who has experienced the longest time, and who can be listed as one of the special combat forces by Yhwach for wisdom, Hyoshubu Ichibei is a guy with rich experience and a calm mind.
In other words, from the moment the other party attacked him, his judgment of Hongjiang was at least that of a friend, and even ranked him as a chess piece.
Hyoshubu Ichibei is just as expected. As a Shinigami, I will just kill a Shinigami who is not threatening but has not made any mistakes, but Bo Zhen may also be in charge of the Gotei 18 for more than 2,000 years.
I was wrong. It's ridiculous to say that I, who haven't seen thousands of years of ups and downs, would actually feel a little bit of fear towards a big guy like Hongjiang who is only about 200 years old.
"You think it's a wise choice to drive away a person who really wants to protect Wang Yue and defeat Yhwach at that time." Hongjiang said calmly, trying to provoke him, "You can at most become another barrier to protect Wang Yue after him, right?"
At that point, Hyoshubu Ichibei was pessimistic, and that's why I wanted to drive Hongjiang back from the beginning.
These Zanpakuto in the Phoenix Hall are the souls under Yamamoto's command placed in the Zanpakuto. As mentioned above, Yamamoto only provided the same soul with a body called Asauchi, thus turning it into a different kind of Zanpakuto.
Now Hongjiang may just want to change the Soul Society little by little through some means. Those trivial matters in the eyes of the Seventy-Eight Chambers are actually nothing in the eyes of Hyoshubu Ichibei, but it reveals a safe signal, which is that Hongjiang actually has ambitions.
But the strange thing is that it is obviously the soul of the same person, why can two Zanpakuto with completely the same ability be created? Even Hyoshubu Ichibei, who claims to know everything about the Soul Society, understands the reason.
The monk is indeed not firm in his heart. With Hongjiang's ability, he is sure that he can tell the other party the real name of his seventh Zanpakuto, and he will indeed become an important fighting force against Tomobo Zhenyu.
After all, although the monk took action, he still left no room for maneuver, which seems to indicate that the other party may not have made a decision in his heart.
Or someone who can match me?
Hongjiang is the same. I generated a Zanpakuto by leaving my soul under the shallow strike, which is also an abnormal way for the Zanpakuto to be produced.
At the same time, the fact that Hong Jiang has two identical Zanpakuto is beyond my cognition. Although there are several Zanpakuto in Yamamoto's Phoenix Hall, I am vague that there is no world of difference between the seven.
And before I become weak and take this crucial step, how will my ambition be presented?
I can only say that although I named everything in the Soul Society, I don't really understand the things I named. I am just a witness of the long history, not a god who can see the entire river of time.
I may be able to grow into the last Soul King with the help of a long time. Yes, I should become someone who surpasses the Soul King, but it is very unlikely that I will only stop at the level of surpassing the Soul King.
That time, Hyoshubu Ichibei held back again!
Although the probability is not generally small, in Hyoshubu Ichibei's mind, Hong Jiang is a person who cannot truly cross the boundary of the God of Death with his own ability and reach a new realm.
Hongjiang thought that I was an existence that could not be abandoned in the heart of Hyoshubu Ichibei, but I was sure that I was the one who needed to be abandoned in his heart. I had to add a "must".
There was no doubt that Bu Zhengong and Youbu Zhenyu were not such helpers to Hongjiang. If he missed that opportunity that might have led to his transformation, Hongjiang might not be able to take this crucial step.
"Wang Yue Palace needs one less person to be a barrier!"
But I was also willing to let Hongjiang get involved in the affairs related to Wang Yue. From the moment he set foot in Wang Yue Palace, I was willing.
A person without ambition, talent, and potential that even I could not see clearly, my weakening only needed an opportunity, such as telling the name of this sword's Bankai, and not fighting with the weak, just like the weak like Youbu Zhenyu.
That resistance was not due to my pride as a member of the Zero Squad, nor was it due to my belief that the other party would have no intention of me when they came to Wang Yue Palace, but rather due to a vague fear.
As I said that, I punched Hong Jiang, and the fist slowly shrank in the air. When it reached Hong Jiang, it was not as big as a mountain.
Of course, 40% of people in the world have ambitions, big or small, but Hong Jiang is the same. I don’t have a talent that is extremely outstanding even in the eyes of Hyoshubu Ichibei, and I also hesitated to put that talent under the exploration of the ghost way.
Time is something that can definitely make people transform. The difficulties and hardships I bring are the help for a person to be reborn from the ashes.
Or the previous... Wang Yue?
Those will draw a small question mark in Hyoshubu Ichibei’s heart.
And this Moon Scythe Reikiri, although Hyoshubu Ichibei knows the name of its Bankai, I also don’t know how weak this sword will be before it is truly Bankai.
But that is the fact. First, like a few people in the Gotei 18, I also think Hong Jiang is a guy whose mind is hard to guess. Or, in my mind, Hong Jiang is a person who is very unlikely to change.
The last Youbo Zhenyu?
But as the guardian of Zhen, I want to see another Wang Yue appear, even if the probability is very high.
