The strong wind swept the white sand and scattered it in all directions.
On the ground, a giant ditch about ten meters wide was gradually filled in under the flow of white sand, as if the world was repairing itself.
Tick tock~tick tock...
As the power of the 'Flying Dragon Attacking Thieves Thunder Cannon' was released with just one blow, the blood on Duan Mu's body that had bulged out due to being unable to withstand it began to flow out, dyeing it in the blink of an eye.
He killed a bloody man, and almost no part of his body was intact.
Is it still a step too late?
Duan Mu looked up into the void and saw a man wearing pure white clothing similar to Aronillo's, but with a disk-shaped collar appearing in the sky at some point.
The man is tall, wears a single eye patch, has medium-length black hair, and holds a double crescent-shaped scythe in his hand.
no·8-Neitra Gilga!
Almost the moment he saw the other party, Duan Mu's name and strength appeared in Duan Mu's mind.
In fact, when he was fighting Aaroniello, he had already felt the opponent's approach. Otherwise, after the spiritual pressure increased to the captain level, Duan Mu did not need to forcibly integrate the Flying Dragon Strike Thief Thunder Cannon into the instant coax, because
It's not difficult to kill him with captain-level spiritual pressure.
It was just a waste of time, but what he just lacked was time.
Even if I tried my best, it was still a step too late.
As Duan Mu said before...
Thirty thousand ants, even if they are combined together, are still just ants. From the beginning to the end, Duan Mu never thought about the possibility that he would lose to Arronillo.
Aaroniro's ability to 'infinite evolution' is indeed very strong. He even used it to devour 30,000 Hollows with various abilities, and forcibly raised his own spiritual pressure to captain level, which may be astonishing enough in the eyes of others.
, but his actual combat ability may not even be as good as Ginjo Kūgo.
Whether it is fighting skills, fighting awareness, or even fighting instincts, they are all in a state of confusion.
It is said that the power of thirty thousand Hollows is used at the same time, but the result is that the power of thirty thousand Hollows is condensed into one point, and then released based on Shiba Haiyan's '捩花'.
In Duan Mu's view, in addition to his spiritual pressure becoming stronger and more complex, his fighting ability after returning to the sword is not even as strong as when he fought in the appearance of Shiba Haiyan.
However, this is no wonder.
Among the 30,000 Hollows he devoured, the Hollow that fused with Shiba Haiyan can be said to be the strongest one among them, and it was also the Hollow that brought him the greatest help.
But this also limits his upper limit, because in his consciousness, Shiba Haiyan's mimicry is his strongest ability, and it even affects his own evolution. Even in the return state, he still does not get rid of the influence of Shiba Haiyan.
...Otherwise, the god who returns to the sword will not be based on Shiba Haiyan's mimicry.
However, even if he has all the abilities and memories of Shiba Haiyan, he still cannot inherit Shiba Haiyan's 'heart', or behavioral pattern; the strength he exerts, except for spiritual pressure, is all that Shiba Haiyan once had.
Obviously changing the way of fighting, using captain-level spiritual pressure as the foundation, and releasing 30,000 "hollow" abilities at the same time, Duan Mu can experience the feeling of facing 30,000 hollows at the same time.
But in the end, he was restricted by the strongest ability in his consciousness, so he chose to condense all the abilities of the 30,000 Hollows and release them through 'Shiba Haiyan'.
It is not difficult to kill such a person.
As long as no one disturbs you!
The rolled up white sand gradually receded, revealing Aaroniro who was covered under the white sand. At this time... half of his body and the lower body behind the blade were cut off by Duan Mu's knife, completely cutting off the white sand beneath him.
dyed red.
The original appearance of Shiba Petrel disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a glass jar filled with an unknown red liquid, and floating in the liquid were two small Arrancars with only heads.
At this time, the two small Arrancars with only their heads were wailing in unison: "Ah ah ah ah~~ help... help us, it hurts so much, so uncomfortable, help me... Lan..."
Bang——!
With a muffled sound, Arronillo flew out like a cannonball. Before it could hit the ground, a male Arrancar took it and quickly headed towards the Xuye Palace.
In place of that place was Nnoitra's tall figure.
"Idiot, get out!"
After kicking Arronillo away, Neutra tilted his head and looked at Duan Mu, with a sinister smile on his face: "I will take care of the God of Death."
Duan Mu did not look at Nnoitra, but looked at the direction in which Aaronillo was leaving with a gloomy look.
but……
Nothing can be done.
Wanting to eliminate Arronillo in Hueco Mundo, whose ability Aizen admires, is an almost impossible goal in itself; so Duanmu's initial plan was to take advantage of the opponent's contempt and fight quickly, starting from the beginning of the war
Five steps have been taken so far, and the battle only takes a few minutes.
But even so, he still encountered obstruction.
With Nnoitra here, there was no way he could pursue and kill Arronillo, and it would be extremely difficult to even leave alive.
Thinking of this, Duan Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at Nnoitra not far away.
Although his face did not fluctuate much, there was a flash of solemnity in his eyes. Unlike Arronillo, a survivor of the first generation of Ten Blades, Nnoitra in front of him was only one level higher than Arronillo in terms of sequence, but regardless of the
Both spiritual pressure and ability are far beyond what Aronillo can compare with.
"Although I think it doesn't matter if you continue the treatment."
Nnoitra waved the strange crescent-shaped blade in his hand and stepped towards Duan Mu. A strange smile flashed on his face: "But I really have no interest in wasting time with you here." As he spoke, he took a step forward.
As soon as the soles of his feet touched the ground, the whole person suddenly disappeared on the spot.
Buzz~
The next second, a crescent-shaped blade appeared above Duan Mu's head out of thin air and slashed straight down.
Duan Mu, who was still on the spot, seemed to be unaware of the blow and was directly split into two pieces.
"Haha~"
Nnoitra let out a sneer, turned from slashing to swinging, and the crescent blade swung out in a strange arc before it fell.
摪——!
The sound of mingling gold and iron was heard, and Duan Mu's body exploded out like a football being blown away.
At the same place, the piece of wood that was divided into two pieces gradually disappeared and was replaced by a black overalls coat that was divided into two pieces.
Even though his feet were tightly hooked to the ground, Duan Mu was still pushed back dozens of meters in an instant. The huge force transmitted by the long knife caused blood to spurt out of the injured Duan Mu's mouth.
But he didn't have time to wipe it, and almost stopped at the moment.
Duan Mu invested all the remaining '10,000' experience points into his body.
Physique: Advanced (35377/100000)
In the last battle with the black cloak, Duan Mu discovered something, that is, a substantial improvement in physical fitness can not only adjust the spiritual pressure disorder, but also allow the body to heal itself quickly in an instant.
The investment of 10,000 experience points caused the burst wounds on Duan Mu's body to stop the blood flow and scarred at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"oh?"
Quite unexpected surprise came from the top of Duan Mu's head, and along with the sound came the strange-shaped sickle.
Seeing this, Duan Mu's whole body was filled with lightning. When he entered a state of instant coax, he turned into lightning and retreated backwards, then stretched out his hand towards Nnoitra.
"Sixty One of the Binding Dao: Six Rods and Light Prison."
With a soft groan, six pieces of light shot out of the air.
Upon seeing this, Nnoitra let go of the handle of the sickle in his hand, then grabbed the iron chain under the handle and wheeled up the double crescent sickle.
Bang bang bang bang...
With a crisp sound, the six pieces of light were chopped into pieces almost at the same time, turning into spirit particles and dissipating.
"Don't use this little trick anymore."
However……
Before he could continue his pursuit, the six pieces of light that had been chopped into pieces suddenly stopped dissipating.
Um?
A strange color flashed in Nnoitra's eyes, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Duan Mu, who had a cold face in front of her, and heard a rapid whisper in her ears.
"The thundering carriage, the gap of the spinning wheel, this thing has light, divided into six!"
Singing later?
Six pieces of light condensed in the blink of an eye, and appeared directly around Nnoitra, binding her in mid-air.
And at this moment, Duan Mu did not retreat but moved forward, with his toes slightly on the ground, his whole body appeared directly in Neutra's arms, and his palms pressed on his chest.
"Broken Path No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon!"
Buzz~~
Thunder pierced the void, and the air made an overwhelmed sound under the blow. The huge thunder beam instantly destroyed six pieces of light, leading Nnoitra to retreat towards the rear.
but……
"I'm tired of it."
Nnoitra's voice came out from the thunder, and the next scene made Duan Mu's pupils shrink slightly.
I saw Nnoitra's chest bulging, and with a bang, she smashed the Thunder Roar Cannon directly with her chest.
Steel skin!
Duan Mu then remembered that in his memory, the other party once claimed to have the 'hardest steel skin among the ten blades'.
There is nothing you can do——!
Even if his own spiritual pressure reaches the captain level, it is still a huge difference compared to him. Even if he has not added physical strength before, adding more than 40,000 experience points to his spiritual pressure, he still has at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual pressure. The gap in proficiency.
This difference is not simply a numerical difference.
Just as there was a qualitative change when he was promoted from senior chief officer to deputy captain level, Duan Mu's spiritual pressure also changed qualitatively when he was promoted from deputy captain level to captain level.
This gap cannot be bridged by any technique.
Duan Mu could not cause the slightest harm to him, no matter whether he used the ghost path or the blade.
Even turning around and running away will only speed up your own death.
Even the experience points have been consumed.
Desperate situation~!
A truly desperate situation, where no one will come to save you.
"Huh~~"
Thinking of this, Duan Mu let out a breath, and the spiritual pressure around his body was gradually absorbed back into his body.
"how?"
Nnoitra stuck out her tongue, licked her chin with the tip of her tongue, and sneered, "Have you finally given up your struggle?"
He stepped forward, as if he was deliberately bringing fear to Duan Mu. He did not rush forward immediately, but walked towards Duan Mu with a sickle in his hand at a slow pace. As he walked, he said: "By the way, I just forgot to ask.
, what’s your name, Death?”
"Ah, forget it, for a guy of your caliber, I have no interest in remembering even the moment before your death."
"I'm so sorry for being so weak."
Duan Mu spoke for the first time since the war started, causing Neutra to burst into laughter: "So you can talk."
"Unlike you, I don't like to talk nonsense during battle."
Duan Mu slowly lowered his head and looked at the long knife in his hand: "Did you just say that I gave up struggling?"
"Um?"
Neutra raised her brows and looked directly at Duan Mu's handsome face covered with blood, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.
really!
Even though he was aware of the gap between him and himself, this god of death still did not show any sign of despair. Instead, he looked calm from beginning to end.
That expression made him extremely unhappy.
because……
This expression was the same as when that woman was challenged by him!
It was as if he never took himself seriously from beginning to end.
"Die."
Nnoitra suppressed the ferocious smile on her face, and instead showed an extremely cold murderous intention, and the spiritual pressure from her whole body was injected into the scythe in her hand.
I don't believe that you can continue to look like this in the face of death.
However, what disappointed him was...
Even though he would kill him with his sword soon, the young man still stared at the Zanpakutō that kept flickering with an inexplicable light in his hand.
Duan Mu stared at the Zanpakutō in his hand.
During the previous battle with Arronillo, Duanmu found that his Zanpakutō had been working hard to impact the seal on the sword, and even showed some abilities through the gaps in the seal.
And the ability was the second knife that stabbed Aroniello. Duan Mu himself didn't understand the principle, but at that moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that the knife he stabbed while standing there could stab Aroniello.
Luo.
Zanpakuto: Intermediate (5400/10000)
Current experience value: 0……——.056!
Zanpakuto: Intermediate (5400.056/10000)
The value, which had not changed since I got the Zanpakutō, was slightly improved at this moment.
Although the improvement was extremely small, the faint light representing the seal on the Zanpakutō suddenly lit up at this moment, and then...
Pa~~
There was a faint cracking sound, like an egg breaking its shell.
The next second...
Buzz!
The gloomy aura suddenly exploded, even condensing into substance, causing an extremely ominous dark light to appear around the blade, and the blade of the long sword changed from the original white blade to a black blade.
The Zanpakutō's proficiency suddenly skyrocketed the moment the seal was broken.
5400·056……5700……7000……9000……
Until...
Zanpakutō: Advanced (34860/100000)
All these changes ended with just breathing. The spiritual pressure that was originally absorbed into Duan Mu's body exploded again at this moment, pouring into the blade, causing the light around the blade to bloom like a flower.
Buzz~
And at this moment, Nnoitra's sickle chopped off his head.
Almost the moment he noticed the change in the Zanpakutō in Duan Mu's hand, he appeared in front of Duan Mu.
Although he didn't know what was happening to the God of Death in front of him, he was vaguely aware that something was wrong, so he did not continue to put pressure on the opponent, but launched an attack.
Facing the incoming Zanpakutō, Duanmu gritted his teeth slightly, but did not stop injecting spiritual pressure into the sword.
As if he had been thirsty for a long time, the long sword devoured Duan Mu's own spiritual pressure. Even with his spiritual pressure rising to captain level, he still consumed most of it in an instant.
When the strange sickle of the double crescent struck down, Duan Mu just took a step back and avoided the head.
Phew~~
Blood bloomed like flowers on Duan Mu's chest, and the huge knife edge extended from his shoulder to his waist.
A strange color flashed in Nnoitra's eyes. According to his estimation, even if the sword avoided the vital point, without spiritual pressure defense, it would still be enough to tear Duan Mu into two pieces.
But what he didn't expect was...
The moment the knife struck, he actually felt a feeling on the sickle similar to that of cutting on steel skin.
However, he didn't care, it was just a question of another stab anyway.
The long handle of the sickle in his hand was turned, and the double crescent sickle was swung out from the waist. No matter how strong the defense of this god of death was, he would definitely die!
At this critical moment, Duan Mu's preparations were finally completed, and before the cutting blade arrived, he let out a soft drink.
"Take care of your children and have fun!"
Ruoyouruowu's voice came, and Nnoitra felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and everything in his field of vision changed in an instant.
"Pick up stones, throw stones, jump, hopscotch. Lift your left foot, jump with your right foot, turn around and change feet..."
The singing voice reached Nnoitra's ears. The voice was very similar to that of the God of Death, but it seemed extremely childish.
"I will come to you again."
At the same time as the singing came, Duan Mu's voice also came from everywhere in this space.
…
Boom~!
Nearly half a minute later, Nnoitra emerged from the void with a gloomy face, and the moment he appeared, he reached out and pinned her to the ground.
"How is that possible?"
Disappeared...
Except for the first two weak spiritual pressures, the aura of the Shinigami fighting with him disappeared without a trace.
