This is Madarame Ikkaku's Zanpakutō - Hōzukimaru, a Zanpakutō with two forms, a spear and a three-section stick, and a Zanpakutō belonging to the direct attack type.

Seeing this scene, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes narrowed, and his right hand involuntarily clenched Zangetsu in his hand. Madarame Ikkaku after Shikai was no longer an opponent to be underestimated.

"I'm going, Ichigo, you can be careful!"

Holding the spear-shaped Hōzukimaru in both hands, Madarame Ikkaku burst into Kurosaki Ichigo with a smile on his face.

Hōzukimaru's sharp spear tip slashed on the ground, and with a sharp breath, stabbed towards Kurosaki Ichigo.

Compared with Madarame Ikkaku's previous shot, Hōzukimaru's stab was undoubtedly much faster. If he came with an ordinary Shinigami, he would probably be directly stabbed if he only had time to see a phantom.

However, Kurosaki Ichigo is no ordinary Shinigami.

In the confrontation just now, Kurosaki Ichigo played a little hard for a while, but in fact Kurosaki Ichigo did not show his full strength.

For example, his fighting instinct like a beast, and his superhuman perception, these are all because of Madarame Ikkaku's repeated attacks, Kurosaki Ichigo failed to exert it.

Now, in the face of Madarame Ikkaku's stab, Kurosaki Ichigo is far more calm than before, and these abilities of his own have begun to be exerted little by little.

After Madarame Ikkaku finished Shikai, his first shot was far more imposing than his previous attack, but really speaking, the threat of this stab was actually not as good as his just attack.

Because of Hōzukimaru's attack trajectory, Kurosaki Ichigo watched all of them.

brush!

At the same time as Madarame Ikkaku attacked him, Kurosaki Ichigo was also motivated, his feet slammed, his body slightly tilted to the left, and Zangetsu on his right hand slashed forward without any hesitation.

Clang!

The blade collided with the tip of the spear, sparking from a starting point. Madarame Ikkaku's seemingly swift attack was stopped by Kurosaki Ichigo with great precision.

boom!

In a flash, Madarame Ikkaku stepped back and returned to its original position by the shock of Hōzukimaru's collision with Zangetsu.

Holding Hōzukimaru in both hands, and looking at Kurosaki Ichigo standing not far away with Zangetsu in hand, Madarame Ikkaku's eyes flashed with surprise.

After the previous confrontation, although he knew that Kurosaki Ichigo's combat power was not weak, he did not expect that Kurosaki Ichigo's reaction and eyesight were not weak, so he could take his Hōzukimaru so accurately.

brush!

With a change of mind, Madarame Ikkaku held Hōzukimaru again and attacked Kurosaki Ichigo.

Hōzukimaru in spear form is best at mid-range combat.

Because of the length, Madarame Ikkaku can stand out of Kurosaki Ichigo's attack range and attack Kurosaki Ichigo.

Shaking Hōzukimaru with both hands, Madarame Ikkaku tapped Kurosaki Ichigo again and again, the sharp point of the spear with a hint of coldness, stabbed Kurosaki Ichigo's body directly.

After understanding his mind, Kurosaki Ichigo, who has a strong fighting instinct, can even keep up with Byakuya Kuchiki's speed, and Madarame Ikkaku's stab in a mere Shikai state, Kurosaki Ichigo can naturally see the trajectory of each time clearly.

In fact, just like Madarame Ikkaku's Hōzukimaru, every time he stabs, there is a whistling sound of the wind. Even if Kurosaki Ichigo does not open his mind, he can accurately determine the position of Hōzukimaru by the sound alone.

Obviously, Byakuya Kuchiki vs Madarame Ikkaku is not a fighting style at all.

Madarame Ikkaku didn't care at all, and used the speed of Hōzukimaru's thrust to suppress Kurosaki Ichigo, making Kurosaki Ichigo unable to judge Hōzukimaru's trajectory.

His purpose of stabbing Kurosaki Ichigo again and again is to suppress Kurosaki Ichigo with a storm-like attack, so that Kurosaki Ichigo has no backhand.

Madarame Ikkaku has some understanding of Kurosaki Ichigo from the battle to the present, and he can see that Kurosaki Ichigo is very good whether it is Reiatsu, reaction, or fighting ability.

The only flaw is the experience.

Although he didn't remember Kurosaki Ichigo's name, he still knew something about Kurosaki Ichigo.

For example, Kurosaki Ichigo has only been a Shinigami for a few months.

Only a few months after becoming a Shinigami, maybe a genius can understand Shikai in such a short time and become the best among Shinigami.

But there is one thing that even geniuses cannot avoid, and that is combat experience.

Combat experience is a talent that can be given, and it can only be obtained after countless battles.

There is no doubt that Kurosaki Ichigo is flawed when it comes to combat experience.

This point, even if Kurosaki Ichigo went through Ye Jia's ten-day special training, still could not change.

Compared to the real battle, the content of the special training is too monotonous.

Insufficient combat experience will have a consequence, that is, the inability to control the rhythm of the battle.

The powerhouses who have truly emerged from countless battles have their own fighting styles. In battles, they can easily grasp the battle context, guide and even lead 450 battles.

This is the so-called rhythm problem.

Using the grasp of the battle rhythm, the truly experienced powerhouse can even suppress the opponent without any backhand throughout the entire process.

Therefore, for the real powerhouse, sometimes the comparison between absolute combat power may not be able to completely determine the outcome of the battle.

Like the previous Madarame Ikkaku attacked again and again, Kurosaki Ichigo was suppressed very embarrassedly. If the gap between Madarame Ikkaku and Kurosaki Ichigo in that state was not too great, Kurosaki Ichigo might have lost.

Now that Shikai is completed, the gap between Madarame Ikkaku and Kurosaki Ichigo has narrowed, and with a weapon like Hōzukimaru in place, it is undoubtedly a very wise choice to reproduce the previous tactics.

If Kurosaki Ichigo doesn't have any other cards, there's a real possibility that Madarame Ikkaku will hold him down until he loses.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Because of the distance of the weapon's attack, and Madarame Ikkaku is already the rhythm of the Master's battle.

In the face of Hōzukimaru's stabs, Kurosaki Ichigo was quite helpless. He could only use his mind again and again to predict the trajectory of Hōzukimaru's stabs, and then dodge or block.

During this period, Kurosaki Ichigo did not think about counterattack. .
