Chapter 281 Showdown

   "Ichigo..."

  In the shadow ghost space, Mako Hirako sat outside the barrier, looking at Ichigo who was mad inside the barrier and Harusui who was fighting him, his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

   "How long has it been?"

  He couldn't help asking, "I feel...I can't hold it anymore."

   "...It's a pity." Lisa pushed her eyes aside, and said seriously, "It's been...more than an hour..."

   "It's been an hour... Ichigo, you should hurry up." Herako panted and said, "I can't hold it anymore. If you break the barrier, what are you talking about..."

   "We can't keep you anymore!"

  The in-depth preparation for 'Apostleization' took up to one hour, which was tested by them after a lot of time and experiments. If it was longer, even every second would increase the risk of corruption.

  If it wasn't for Ichigo himself who was the most important part of their fight against Aizen, they would have killed Ichigo long ago.

   "Am I being too aggressive?"

  Pirako said regretfully, "I should listen to Jingle and let him practice for a while longer."

   "...If you want to do it, you'd better hurry up..." Ross watched the battle in the barrier, and couldn't help saying, "Now, Shunsui can hardly suppress Ichigo."

   "..." Hirako had a fierce confrontation in his heart, if Ichigo was killed by them...

  Then, what should Urahara say?

"hold on…"

  Hirako said softly as if answering herself, "Wait a little longer..."

hold on…

"Roar!"

There was a loud roar from within the barrier, Ichigo was almost out of human form at this moment, his body arched, and the dragon tail swung directly hit Chunshui's body, knocking him flying dozens of meters into the barrier On top of that, it caused a turmoil in the enchantment.

   "Why... want me to deal with the final stage."

  Chunshui smiled wryly, he just felt that his internal organs were about to be shattered, even though he was also in the state of 'apostle', but if he didn't have to kill his heart, he could only be suppressed and beaten by Ichigo.

Suddenly, a ball of light that resembled a false flash appeared in the mouth of a dragon that turned into a giant dragon. Chunshui was a little helpless. This is the shadow ghost space itself, and it is impossible for him to use the shadow ghost to avoid it. Is it possible to resist this attack head-on? Cannon?

   "Not good! This blow will cover the entire barrier!" The masked army outside also saw the power of this blow, and they were shocked

   "We can't hesitate any longer, Hirako."

   "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid Ichigo will completely exceed our expectations, and we won't be able to stop it even if we want to."

   Facing the words of his companion, Hirako gritted his teeth. Seeing Ryuhua Ichigo, who was still in a state of madness and hardly getting better, he couldn't help clenching the knife in his hand.

  He said weakly, "Do it..."

   The moment the voice fell, the Masked Army took up their weapons and prepared to enter the barrier to help Jingle deal with Ichigo, but at this moment, Ichigo, who was accumulating huge power, suddenly stopped.

  Afterwards, the body on his body began to fall off slowly, and the speed of falling off became faster and faster. After reaching a limit, it suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the original appearance of Ichigo.

"Kurosaki!"

  Pirako, who was about to despair, saw this scene, and suddenly became excited. He directly canceled the barrier and shunpo came in front of him. Seeing that he still had his own consciousness with his eyes open, he couldn't help laughing.

"how do you feel?"

  Ichigo returned to the present world from the depths of his heart, saw Hirako rushing over, and responded weakly, "Of course...it's fine."

  How can it be bad, after gaining the power of Bakal, he seems to have regained his life, and he can enter the state of "apostle" just by thinking about it.

  However, this time may not be long, because his body can't hold that tyrannical force for a long time. If he uses it for a long time, it will only destroy his body first.

   "Congratulations..." Hirako took a deep look at Ichigo, and then turned serious again.

   "So, now...I can tell you what happened..."

  ………

  Kurosaki Ichigo's inner world is restored to the world of high-rise buildings, and Bacal, who has dissipated, reappeared, but at this time he is still in a human form.

   "Those guys... have already set their sights on Ichigo."

  Bakar said to the void, and the next moment Uncle Zhanyue walked out of the rippling space, and Xu Bai also walked out from the other side.

   "It's an apostle..." Zhanyue said softly, "Your power has awakened the apostle factor in Ichigo, is this what you hope for?"

   "Is there anything wrong with this?" Bacal sneered, "Do you think it would be good to keep suppressing Ichigo's power and let him be an ordinary person?"

   "Apostles are active, they will destroy this world sooner or later, do you want to watch Ichigo destroy with the world?"

"..." Zhanyue was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "No, as long as...'I' can complete the ceremony, it will be enough to purify the Three Realms today. Even the apostles...they are all seriously injured after being transferred here. It’s simply impossible to be unscrupulous.”

   "...You are too arrogant." Bakar confronted tit-for-tat, "Is it possible to bet Ichigo's life on whether 'you' can complete the plan? What if you can't complete it?"

   "What's more, why put Ichigo's life on the success of 'your' plan?"

   "Fate... is in your own hands. Everyone has their own destiny, and you don't need to make a choice."

   "To put it bluntly, you shouldn't be afraid, right?" Suddenly, Xu Shiro also mocked, "Afraid... Ichigo will destroy your plan?"

   Facing the doubts of the two, Zhanyue remained silent, and finally his body slowly dissipated.

   "Tch..."

  Seeing him slipping away, Xubai was a little upset, his power had been suppressed by the power of Quincy symbolized by Zan Yue, if not, Ichigo would still be stronger.

and…

   is much stronger!

During the Millennium Blood War, Ichigo awakened the power of the Quincy Master, and after Zan Yue no longer suppressed Xu Bai's power, the spiritual pressure emitted by the state of the two swords had reached the state of the one-armed Yamamoto Swastika. materialization status.

   It can be seen how much impact the infighting of one's own power will have...

   "But it's coming soon..." Bakar said with interest after seeing Zhanyue disappear

   "It's not long since the prophecy of nine hundred and ninety-nine years. Let him continue like this. I'll see if he can sit still."

   After he finished speaking, he also gradually left. In the world of high-rise buildings, there was only a void left.

"boring…"

   Xubai said slowly
