Steve Chapter 194

"Hehehe, Captain Tosen, don't be in such a hurry."

Fang Mo put a hand on Tosen Kaname's shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm good friends with Komamura Sajin. How can you treat me as an ordinary intruder?"

"Anyone who trespasses into Seireitei is an intruder."

Tosen Kaname did not give Fang Mo a friendly look and coldly said, "If you surrender willingly and come with me to meet the chief captain... I might spare you for the sake of Komamura."

"Oh?"

Hearing Tosen Kaname's words,

Fang Mo's smile slightly faded, "It seems... Captain Tosen, you want to test me? Let me experience your dark powers?"

"Your allies are wreaking havoc all over Seireitei."

Tosen Kaname said righteously, "For the peace of Seireitei, whether it's you or your allies, I will eliminate you all."

"Tosen, don't be impulsive!"

Komamura Sajin, hearing this, became a bit anxious, "The current intruders have nothing to do with him, let me explain..."

Perhaps in ordinary times, Tosen Kaname might have listened to Komamura Sajin, but now with Ichigo Kurosaki invading Seireitei, which was part of Aizen's planned events, the appearance of Fang Mo was clearly an unforeseen variable. To prevent any potential interference with his superior's plan, Tosen Kaname had no choice, he could not give his old friend any leeway today.

"Enough talk."

Tosen Kaname immediately drew his Zanpakutō, "Cry out, Suzumushi!"

With that, he initiated his Shikai. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, followed by an extremely unpleasant noise that burst beside Fang Mo's ear.

It was as if a thousand nails were scraping a chalkboard simultaneously. Fang Mo immediately felt a strong discomfort.

It wasn't the feeling of being attacked, but purely physiological discomfort.

In fact, Suzumushi's sonic attack had a hypnotic effect, but unfortunately, Fang Mo's current mental willpower was so strong that even Charles couldn't escape a beating from a small stick, let alone the Shikai of Tosen Kaname.

Almost instinctively, Fang Mo kicked forward.

Tosen Kaname didn't expect Fang Mo to withstand Suzumushi's sonic attack. Unable to react in time, he was sent flying like a cannonball. He crashed through the walls of Squad Seven's barracks, then broke two trees and a beam, smashed another wall, and finally rolled on the ground several times before coming to a stop.

"Tosen!"

Komamura Sajin became anxious seeing this.

However, before he could say anything to stop Fang Mo, Tosen Kaname's voice was heard again.

"Suzumushi Nishiki..."

Having just been hit, Tosen Kaname was visibly shaken. A large bloody footprint appeared on his chest, his clothes were torn, and there was a bloodstain on his mouth. However, his momentum seemed to increase, probably due to the surge of spiritual pressure, and then he swung his sword.

"Benihikō!"

With Tosen Kaname's swing, numerous blade-like objects flew straight towards Fang Mo.

"Steve's counter... forget it, too weak to bother countering."

Upon seeing the situation, Fang Mo initially wanted to use his shield to deflect the attack. However, the damage from these small flying knives was so minimal that he felt too lazy to even defend. He simply stood still and took the attack head-on.

Numerous sword blades flew directly towards Fang Mo. Komamura Sajin quickly raised his sword to block them. However, Fang Mo didn't even dodge. All that could be heard was a clattering sound, and all those sword blades were snapped in half, scattering everywhere.

As for Fang Mo, he just boldly faced the incoming blades and casually walked towards Tosen Kaname.

"What!?"

Seeing his attack was ineffective, Tosen Kaname was quite surprised: "You..."

But before he could finish speaking,

Fang Mo raised his hand.

"Heavenly Pull."

A massive gravitational pull appeared instantly, and Tosen Kaname's body uncontrollably flew forward.

Of course, during this, he tried to use quick steps or other means to escape. But the force was so powerful it was almost ridiculous. Realizing he couldn't escape, Tosen Kaname quickly raised his hand.

"Kido No. 45: Waste Flame!"

A spherical soul flame shot out directly from Tosen Kaname's hand.

"What weak nonsense!"

Seeing Tosen Kaname's technique, Fang Mo disdainfully slapped it away, like swatting a fly. The purple-white light ball hit a tree within the Seventh Division's courtyard, instantly burning the entire tree to ashes.

"What!?"

Seeing this, Tosen Kaname was stunned.

The next moment, Fang Mo grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

Fang Mo smiled, looking at Tosen Kaname in his grip. With his other hand, he materialized a Moonlight Worm Queen from Steve's hand, aiming it at Tosen Kaname as if he was holding a water gun: "Come on, activate your racial talent, raise your hands."

"Do you think I'll submit to you?"

Tosen Kaname spat out blood but still spoke defiantly.

"Oh, alright."

Fang Mo squeezed the Moonlight Worm Queen, its round belly suddenly contracted, and with a "plop" sound, it spewed out a substance that looked like a booger directly onto Tosen Kaname's face.

Then, the substance burst open with a "pop", and the sticky Moonlight Worms crawled out from inside.

They crawled on Tosen Kaname's face, glowing.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

Fang Mo, holding the Moonlight Worm Queen, continued to ask Tosen Kaname.

"You're as weird and disgusting!" Tosen Kaname struggled, but Fang Mo's strength was immense, making it impossible for him to break free.

So, Fang Mo continued squeezing the Moonlight Worm Queen.

There was a continuous sound of popping. On Tosen Kaname's face, hair, and neck, there were many glowing maggots crawling.

"Ah!"

Tosen Kaname couldn't help but exclaim, "Bankai! Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Kōrogi!"

With a surge of spiritual pressure, a massive black cloak instantly enveloped both Fang Mo and Tosen Kaname. Seeing this, Fang Mo smiled slightly, deliberately releasing Tosen Kaname's hand, who quickly used a flash step to retreat.

It seemed that he had finally escaped from Fang Mo's grasp.

Tosen Kaname breathed a sigh of relief, and his confidence slowly returned.

He glanced at Fang Mo in front of him, then brandished his sword and said, "I didn't expect a mere Ryoka would force me to use my Bankai. But you should be proud; this is a power only captain-level Shinigami possess. You, as a Ryoka, might not be able to imagine, right? After all... you can't see anything now."

"This is the ability of my Bankai. Vision, hearing, smell, taste; your senses will be stripped away one by one."

"How is it? This black void world is terrifying, right? But no matter what I say now, it's useless... you can't hear it. So, embrace your fear and die."

Saying this, Tosen Kaname slowly raised his hand, with a yellow spirit particle gathering in it.

"Scattered bones of beasts! Spires, red crystals, wheels of steel. The mover is the wind, the still one is the sky. The sound of clashing spears echoes throughout the ghost town! Hado No. 63, Raikoho!"

With Tosen Kaname's words ending, a fully-chanted No. 63 Hado flew straight towards Fang Mo.

"Boom!"

A huge blaze shot up, raising dust that instantly engulfed Fang Mo.

However, just a second later.

A sigh from Fang Mo could be heard amidst the smoke.

"Sigh."

As the sigh resounded, the surrounding smoke slowly dispersed, revealing an unharmed Fang Mo: "You went through so much trouble to blind me, and I thought you'd have a significant move. But you didn't even harm me a bit..."

"Why do you like to darken the surroundings like Dark Elves? Do you also like to mock in the dark? But your Bankai blocks one's hearing, so no one can hear your mockery. Isn't that sick... Wait, did you develop this Bankai for theft? Damn! My new cotton jacket!"

"I warn you, you can steal my jacket, but don't you dare steal Xiao Xue's sanitary pads!"

"..."

Seeing Fang Mo's incessant chatter, Tosen Kaname was truly on the verge of losing it.

"A steel-like ability, huh?"

Tosen Kaname slowly raised his Zanpakuto, gripping the hilt with both hands, trying his best to ignore Fang Mo's coarse words, and began to gather his spiritual pressure, "If that's the case, I'll behead you with one slash."

It's well-known that many battles in the Shinigami world are determined by spiritual pressure.

Aizen once said in the original story that the battle of Shinigami is a battle of spiritual pressures. The Shikai of the second division captain, Soi Fon, was said to kill in two strikes. It seemed like a rule-based attack, but it's still about matching spiritual pressures.

With Aizen's immense spiritual pressure, Soi Fon couldn't touch him.

Thus, Tosen Kaname was now desperately gathering his spiritual pressure, believing that as long as his spiritual pressure was strong enough, his blade should be able to cut through the opponent's steel skin.

But just as Tosen Kaname was focusing on gathering his spiritual pressure, Fang Mo suddenly stopped his ranting and said, "Captain Tosen, you don't think..."

"... that I really can't see you?"

As he spoke, Fang Mo suddenly turned to look at Tosen Kaname.

"!?"

Seeing this, Tosen Kaname was taken aback and quickly stepped back a great distance. He was filled with doubt and disbelief, unable to understand how Fang Mo could see him.

Did Fang Mo really see him?

Indeed, he did.

Such an abnormal state of blindness could be cured by Steve by drinking a bucket of milk outside. However, Tosen Kaname's 'Bankai' maintained this continuous abnormal state, and after drinking the milk, he would go blind again. It was indeed a bit annoying.

But don't forget, Fang Mo's perception of the world isn't limited to just the five senses.

Nowadays, having consumed a large number of essence berries, his precision in controlling gravity has greatly improved. Even without looking or listening, Fang Mo can feel the mass of surrounding objects through something akin to a gravitational sense.

With Tosen Kaname standing there, a big figure, it's impossible for Fang Mo not to sense him.

Of course, even if he couldn't see him, it wouldn't matter.

Because Fang Mo simply didn't bother using individual skills to attack his opponent.

"I'll ask you one last time," Fang Mo said, slowly raising both hands. "Do you realize your mistake?"

"Kido number seventy..."

Tosen Kaname, seemingly oblivious to the danger he was in, began to initiate a spell.

"Alright then."

Fang Mo shrugged, then drew the samurai sword from his waist. "In that case, I guess I'll have to release my Zanpakuto."

As he spoke, countless cotton seeds drifted out from Fang Mo's palm.

"Scatter, Thousand Cottons."
