"Tsugi no," Tenchi uttered when Zheng used his technique to attack him. Once the attack hit it seemed Tenchi was unaffected by the hit. Tenchi grabbed Zheng's hand and turned into dark energy that wrapped around Zheng's hand and glowed slightly, obviously about to burst into the same thing that destroyed Keng. Though before it destroyed, Himeko jumped beside Zheng and grabbed onto the dark energy able to easily take it off. She then jumped high into the air as it destroyed her instead of him.........Himeko then appeared beside Zheng with her arms crossed, "Dark energy, good thing my Zanpakuto is energy based otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take that off." Himeko then looked forward at the real Tenchi. The good assumption was that the Tenchi that turned into dark energy was just a clone, like the Himeko that took off the dark energy and got destroyed. "I came over here when I sensed the dark energy, so what's up with this guy? What did he do?" she asked. Tenchi just stood there looking at the two as if he had no worry.

Zheng couldn't believe that his attack didn't even effect him. It hit him dead on, a move that back in the academy had crippled his opponents during their spars. Could this man be so strong that even his own attacks had no impact on him? He tried to pull his arm back from Tenchi's grasp but he soon saw that the man turned into dark energy and wrapped around his arms with the intent of consuming him like it did to the other man. That's when Himeko came in and tore it off his own arms before it covered her. She leapt into the air and it soon destroyed her. "Himeko!" Zheng shouted in panic as he realized that it was his fault that his superior was killed...then he realized that she reappeared right next to him. "I owe you one Himeko."

That's when it came to him. His own attack didn't effect Tenchi because it wasn't the real one; it was a clone made of dark energy. Zheng looked back at his superior and told her, "I already took care of the hollows and was dealing with the guy controlling them. That is until this Tenchi guy arrived and killed him, his own subordinate. Looks like Squad Ten has been after this guy."
