BLEACH: Blade of Purification

Even among the ranks of the Shinigami, there were probably few who could correctly understand what had just happened, let alone a Hollow who didn't know much about Shinigami.

In the suddenly surging spiritual pressure, in the dust churned up by that spiritual pressure, only the man could be seen standing there, holding an impossibly long sword in his hand.

A normal large sword is generally under a meter long. The maximum length of a tachi is only about 1.5 to 1.6 meters. The only thing comparable to the longsword in his hand would be a so-called nodachi. But the difference between a tachi and a nodachi is not just in length, but also in proportion. A nodachi is purely a two-handed sword, with a long, sturdy hilt and a thick, wide blade, like an enlarged uchigatana.

But now, the tachi held in Ling Qing's hand had a hilt only about 40 to 50 centimeters long. The blade was only three centimeters wide and a few millimeters thick. From the saber-toothed tiger Hollow's perspective, it couldn't even clearly see the entire blade, only a silver line.

This sword was held by Ling Qing in one hand. If one had to classify it, it could only be called a tachi with an extended blade. But extending the blade to over two meters was simply too exaggerated! Not to mention how one could even swing such a sword, the long and thin blade made one worry it would shatter upon hitting a hard object!

However, the saber-toothed tiger Hollow had to face a reality that even it found hard to believe. From the man standing before it now, from this small fry that it could have easily slaughtered once it unleashed its true power just a few minutes ago, it now clearly smelled a dangerous scent.

Is this a Shinigami? Is this a Shinigami's trick?

There was no answer to such questions. And it no longer needed one!

"I don't care what you are! I'll kill you!! As long as I kill you here, nothing else matters!!!!"

The spiritual pressure within its body also detonated. Although its size did not increase again, all its power was concentrated into its single-bladed talon.

The same situation happened again! The saber-toothed tiger Hollow's body suddenly disappeared from its spot, and when it reappeared, it was already right in front of Ling Qing! The single talon, carrying terrifying power, thrust towards Ling Qing!

"Tiger Fang Swift Wind Greatsword!!"

However, the real shock was only just beginning!

The single talon that should have pierced Ling Qing's body missed. Because in the instant before the Hollow's attack landed, Ling Qing took a small step back. It was this small step that took him out of the Hollow's attack range.

"...Wh... what? You dodged my Sonído?!"

"Too slow."

The response was a calm voice.

Ling Qing had taken a step back not only to dodge the Hollow's attack, but also to create distance between them, to have enough room to swing the blade in his hand. Whether before or after death, this was the first time Ling Qing had ever held a sword over 2.5 meters long, and the first time he had ever swung it.

But strangely, Ling Qing had a feeling that he had already used such a tachi countless times, that all the experience had been integrated into every one of his body's instincts. The constant discomfort that had been plaguing his heart, tormenting him from all directions, vanished the moment the sword in his hand changed!

The distance between them was still too short for a blade over 2.5 meters long, but for Ling Qing, it was enough.

The silver-line-like blade cut in from the gap, and before the saber-toothed tiger Hollow could react, an upward slash from below landed squarely on its body!

The saber-toothed tiger Hollow instinctively tried to dodge or even block, but its movements were too slow. The sudden burst of power followed the blade and struck its body, sending it flying into the air.

And Ling Qing, with a slight push from his feet, shot towards the sky-bound Hollow!

In an instant, Ling Qing and the saber-toothed tiger Hollow crossed paths. Ling Qing passed through the Hollow's figure like a phantom, a series of blurred afterimages lingering on his path, as if to show just how exaggerated his speed was in that moment.

Powerless in the air, the saber-toothed tiger Hollow had no way to dodge Ling Qing's attack.

After passing through the Hollow, Ling Qing's figure suddenly went from extreme speed to extreme stillness. He turned his back to the Hollow and slowly sheathed his longsword.

BOOM!

Behind Ling Qing, countless blue-white flashes erupted from the saber-toothed tiger Hollow's body, as if innumerable blades were bursting out from within! The Hollow fell powerlessly towards the ground.

But Ling Qing's descent was faster. Before the Hollow hit the ground, Ling Qing had already landed, plunging the tip of his longsword directly into the earth. Spiritual pressure surged through the blade and into the ground below, completely infusing it in an extremely short time. The ordinary ground was now transformed into crystal-rock pillars flowing with a black light, which shot up rapidly from the earth. The same rock pillars that the man from Zaraki had once shattered without a second thought now pierced through the body of the falling saber-toothed tiger Hollow without reservation!

Without turning his head, Ling Qing delivered a horizontal slash. The overly long blade streaked through the air, cutting into the body of the Hollow, which had been torn apart by the rock pillars, and then out the other side! Even the blood seemed to react a few seconds late, gushing out!

The saber-toothed tiger Hollow was sent flying by the blow, tumbling wretchedly on the ground.

It probably didn't even realize what had happened. In just an instant, with just one missed attack, it was caught in a storm of relentless attacks that left it no room to breathe.

Just when it thought it would get a moment's respite after being knocked away, the roar of the atmosphere being torn apart already came roaring from the front!

The face holding the longsword in its left hand rapidly expanded in its vision, and in those blue eyes, there was not a trace of hesitation!!

I'm going to die!

I'm definitely going to die!!

An aura of destruction was rolling towards it, and it was already completely suppressed by the opponent's presence, having even lost the will to escape!!

And then, a flash of light fell with a deafening roar!! Completely engulfing and devouring it!!

The ground trembled violently, and countless pieces of rubble floated up as if gravity had been reversed—
