Yes, Yoruichi was on the verge of collapsing.
After all, she was in a state where her strength was rapidly consumed. While it granted her immense power, ultimately it was only a temporary powerup.
Yoruichi knew clearly of this point.
Therefore, her attacks became even more frenzied, sharper, and filled with killing intent.
Every strike was made with all her might.
At this moment, Yoruichi was fighting with the determination to kill Hui.
She was fighting with the resolve that it was either him or her.
A person's strength is determined by many comprehensive factors.
Innate physical qualities, combat experience, skills, techniques and tactics... even the timing and geographical advantage, each condition could potentially influence one's overall strength.
Yoruichi had never felt such immense pressure, nor had she ever yearned for victory so desperately.
This extreme desire under pressure condensed into something called faith, allowing her to break through her own shackles and surpass her past self.
Simply put, her essence, energy, and spirit had all reached their peak at this moment.
An unprecedented peak.
Therefore, when facing Yoruichi in such a state, Hui, with his current strength, found it difficult to parry.
His body was constantly injured, and he was at an absolute disadvantage.
This was rare.
Since the end of the First Great Ninja War, Hui had hardly experienced such a situation, where he was put in such a miserable state.
No matter who his opponent was, no one had ever pushed him to such a state.
While his current state couldn't be called embarrassing, he had indeed lost his previous elegance and casualness.
However, this disadvantage, instead of making Hui feel uncomfortable, made his blood boil even more, his fighting spirit soaring to the high heavens.
It had been too long, truly too long, since he had felt such a battle, experienced such a fight.
Even in the last great battle in Soul Society, Hui wasn't this hard-pressed.
It wasn't that Yoruichi was stronger than the combined forces of the Gotei 13 Captains who besieged Hui back then.
The reason why the fight with Yoruichi felt more exhilarating was because Hui hadn't unleashed his stronger state yet.
It was important to note that in the previous battle, Hui had released his Celestial Eye, and later entered the Silver Lightning Mode.
Otherwise, Hui, with only his Celestial Eye released, might not have won facing the against the almost full-powered Yamamoto and other captains.
And at this moment, Hui still hadn't used the power he displayed back in Soul Society.
Hui's continuous injuries seemed to rekindle Yoruichi's completely subsided spirit.
Looking at Hui, who was constantly suppressed by her, a thought couldn't help but arise in her heart.
The thought that she could win!
After this thought appeared, Yoruichi's attacks suddenly became even stronger.
Her entire body was surrounded by violent lightning, and her body fater than lightning, too fast for the naked eye to follow.
The momentum brought by her extreme speed imbued each of her strikes with terrifying power, each attack causing Hui's arms to go numb.
"Another burst of power? Unfortunately, it's ultimately like the last glow of a setting sun, just a final struggle," Hui said, seeing through Yoruichi's state at a glance.
"Since it has come to this, I should also get serious, otherwise it would seem too disrespectful to you," he continued, causing Yoruichi's attack to pause, her pupils slightly constricting.
Hui's words shook her heart.
And at this moment, Hui activated his Space affinity, instantly immobilizing Yoruichi.
Following that, silver lightning danced around Hui, and the brilliant radiance condensed into clothing in an instant.
Hui's momentum erupted at this moment. An incomparably powerful will soared to the sky, causing the space around him to tremble.
At this moment, silver-white light filled the space.
In the entire world, Hui stood the most dazzling!
"Now, it can end."
With a flat and indifferent tone, like a deity looking down upon mortals, the silver-white lightning god standing in the void raised his arm, controlling the lightning.
His finger, capable of splitting the sky, pointed out.
Lightning engulfed the entire space!
Yoruichi was still at her peak state.
At this moment, she was absolutely the strongest she had ever been in her life.
However, facing Hui now, Yoruichi was as weak as a newborn infant.
She was submerged in the lightning.
When the lightning dissipated, Yoruichi was lying naked on the ground, her body completely red, with silver-white lines appearing on her body, making it seem as if her body was about to crack open.
Not only that, but Hui could clearly sense that Yoruichi's Reiatsu had weakened to the extreme.
She was on the verge of death.
This battle was too damaging to Yoruichi.
Suddenly appearing beside Yoruichi, Hui seemingly made no movement, yet Yoruichi's body gently floated up from the ground.
Hui extended his right hand and placed it on Yoruichi's forehead.
The next moment, spiritual energy filled with healing power slowly entered Yoruichi's body, thoroughly permeating and ultimately filling her entire being.
It wasn't over yet.
This healing spiritual energy overflowed from her body, and in an instant, completely enveloped Yoruichi's body, making her look like a giant amber.
The power of space was withdrawn, and Hui and Yoruichi returned to Hui's villa.
Glancing at Yoruichi, who was healing, Hui paid her no further attention.
He walked alone to the window and stared blankly at the sky outside.
This battle was exhilarating enough, but after the excitement, there was a strange emptiness.
"It's lonely at the top."
Murmuring a dreamy sigh, Hui chuckled.
He had wanted to say this line for a while now, but the atmosphere somehow never felt right.
Hui continued to lie on the lounge chair, reading a book.
Slowly, the moonlight turned silver, and a gentle breeze blew.
The city night had completely arrived, brilliantly illuminated.
Time passed in this exchange of black and white.
When the morning sun rose from afar, casting its light upon the city, a new day had already begun.
Kisuke Urahara, who had been waiting all night, looked at the distant road.
There was still no sign of the familiar figure.
He was a person who planned before acting, and at this moment, he stood up, pressed down the brim of his hat, and turned back into his small house.
If he were to go, he had to prepare something.
After all, he was not that human's opponent, not to mention he was still injured from the previous battle with Aizen.
If possible, he really didn't want to meet that mysterious person so soon.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Yoruichi was his childhood sweetheart, his best friend.
