After climbing up the long steps, Chadu Taihu turned his head and looked behind him.
This place is already on the high ground of the Seireitei. Standing here and looking down, you can almost have a panoramic view of everything around you.
Slowly turning around, Sadat looked up at the white tower that was becoming clearer in the distance. According to his previous investigation, the white tower was the confession palace where Rukia Kuchiki was imprisoned.
"Ichigo, Ishida... they should have arrived."
Not long ago, he had felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure, but before he could join him, Ichigo disappeared again, and he was stopped in place by the constant influx of Shinigami.
So Ishida and Inoue aside, Ichigo and the guy named Ganjiu should be in front of him, and have even reached the bottom of the white tower at the highest point.
I have to speed up too!
Having made up his mind, Chadu Taihu didn't waste any time and ran along the wide road towards the White Pagoda.
However……
Just after running a few steps, his figure was stunned.
Someone!
Looking around, I saw a figure slowly walking towards the end of the empty street.
This figure is a young male, who looks to be in his twenties and has a delicate appearance.
But the way he dresses...
But it made Chadu Taihu have doubts in his eyes.
Because the young man walking towards him did not wear the same death uniform as Ichigo like other Shinigami, but wore black overalls that looked like some kind of uniform, and his feet were not straw sandals, but a pair of style
Exquisite high boots.
The whole person looks a little out of place with the surrounding environment, giving the impression that he is more like a real person than a resident of Soul Society.
The black overalls were covered with a sleeveless white feather fabric with the word "nine" on the back, which fluttered as he moved.
Death? Aboriginal people?
Looking at the young man getting closer and closer, the doubts in Chadu Taihu's eyes became more and more intense.
Because the more he looks at the other person, the less he looks like a god of death, and the most important thing is...
The opponent, like himself, was using bare hands and did not hold a Zanpakutō.
"Sorry, it's my duty."
The young man did not approach, but stopped ten meters away, and said calmly: "The front is not a place you can go."
"By the way, let me introduce myself. I am the temporary captain of the ninth division of the Gotei Thirteenth Division."
team leader!?
Upon hearing this, Taitora Sadatari's eyes suddenly became serious. This was the first time he had met someone at the level of captain of Gotei 13th Division along the way.
Not long ago, although he met a guy who claimed to be the third adjutant of the Eighth Division, he was sent away with a punch... which did not waste much of his time.
As for the young man in front of him who calls himself ‘Captain’…
He actually didn't particularly care.
Because the feeling the other party gave him was even worse than the third assistant he met not long ago...
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do. Can you let me go?"
Although Sadatora Taitora didn't think that the captain of the Gotei 13th Division would be weaker than the third one, no matter what the opponent's real strength was, he had to pass here to join Ichigo and the others.
"If you have not entered the jurisdiction of the ninth division, I would actually prefer you to go back the way you came. This way, I can save myself some trouble."
Duan Mu looked at Chadu Taihu and shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that you entered the ninth district. Within the scope of my duties, I will never let you leave."
"That……"
Chadu Taihu frowned.
"Sorry."
Buzz~~
After finishing his words, Sadata Taihu was completely free from unnecessary nonsense. A violent wave of spiritual pressure suddenly appeared on his right arm with red lines on a black background.
A strange flash flashed in Duan Mu's eyes, and he had to admit that any one of Kurosaki Ichigo's companions could be described as a 'genius' if he were randomly selected among them.
If I remember correctly, it has only been about a month since the power of Sadatora Taihu in front of me has been awakened, but the spiritual pressure he burst out at this time has already reached a level... comparable to that of a vice-captain!
Does innate talent matter?
Boom~~!
The next moment, a majestic fist composed entirely of spiritual pressure came with a bang.
From a distance, it looked like a huge pillar of energy, starting from Chadata Taihu's right fist and hitting Duan Mu!
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Duan Mu.
However……
Facing this powerful and ferocious blow, Duan Mu did not dodge. Instead, he stood there as if he had been frightened.
This scene made Sadatora frown, and he couldn't help but wonder if the other party was pretending to be the 'captain' to scare him.
Thinking of this, he almost instinctively restrained some of his strength.
However, what happened in the next second made his pupils shrink sharply.
"The Eighth Path of Binding: Rebuke!"
The sound of soft chanting came out, although the sound was not loud, but it reached the ears of Chadu Taihu very clearly.
Duan Mu swung the back of his right hand like a fly. It seemed slow, but in fact, in the blink of an eye, the back of his hand had already collided with the surging spiritual pressure.
Bang~~
Spirits were flying, and the majestic energy pillars were like countless fireflies, escaping in front of Duan Mu.
How is that possible!?
Looking at the starlight transformed by the spirit son all over the sky, Chadu Taihu's eyes showed a look of shock.
Although the force of his punch was restrained, its power was still extremely terrifying. All the Death Gods he encountered before, whether they were ordinary soldiers or self-proclaimed chief officers, would collapse under his fist.
Try {MAD1 ('Gad2');} Catch (ex) {} and now, all this is the reverse!
"It's a good punch, but it's not a good habit to hold back during a fight."
Duan Mu swept his palm and walked towards Chadu Taihu.
Although the form of power is very interesting, Duan Mu is not very interested in studying the complete technique.
The most important thing is...
Today's Chadu Taihu poses no threat to him at all. Although Duan Mu likes to fight, he also depends on whether the other party can bring interest to him.
A unilateral crushing battle is not a fight, but a brutal killing!
Seeing Duan Mu walking towards him, Chadu Taihu woke up from the shock and could no longer be surprised by what he had seen before.
With the soles of his feet padded back and his body bent forward, he took a punching stance according to Mr. Yoichi's instructions.
Buzz buzz~~
At this moment, the spiritual pressure all over his body was stimulated to the extreme by him.
The slightest suspicion before was gone after the blow just now. Although he didn't know why the other party's aura felt so ordinary, when he walked towards him... Chadata Taihu felt something coming from his soul.
Trembling from deep to the surface of the body.
Even the hairs on his hair stood up at this moment, as if he had encountered some unknown creature, making his body instinctively feel fear!
This kind of fear cannot be suppressed by one's own consciousness alone!
Because this is not so much a biological difference, but it feels more like...
Dimensional gap!
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead. It was obvious that the other party didn't take any action, but just walked towards him in a leisurely manner, as if he were going shopping.
Can……
Trembling, uncontrollable!
As the opponent got closer, his courage to even punch was gradually fading.
Da da da da da~~
The sound of black high boots hitting the ground became louder and louder.
Can't wait any longer!!
Chatata Taihu had a feeling that if the opponent got any closer to him, he would completely lose the courage to punch and would have no choice but to let the opponent do whatever he wanted.
Bang~~
The sound of explosions was heard, and Chadu Taihu stepped forward. Wherever the soles of his feet landed, the white rock floor exploded.
Turn around and punch.
Done in one go!
Buzz~~
The moment the punch was thrown, the air dispersed, forming a short vacuum.
The next second, a deafening roar resounded throughout the sky!
boom--!
"oh?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Duan Mu's eyes. The fact that Chadota Taihu was able to punch back under his pressure was indeed beyond Duan Mu's expectations.
but……
Still too weak!
The fist pressure came in an instant, but Duan Mu ignored it and took a step forward gently.
Bang!
The muffled sound of flesh impacting was heard. This time, Duan Mu not only did not dodge, he did not even use the binding method, but directly faced the blow with his chest.
clatter……
The crisp sound of footsteps slowly came out.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button, and the impact caused by this punch was quietly eliminated.
The sudden transition from extreme movement to extreme silence made everyone who witnessed this scene feel a sense of dissonance in their hearts.
No trouble~
Sadata Taihu maintained his punching stance, his pupils already filled with shock.
Hard to understand!
The other party was so strong that he couldn't even understand it.
He didn't even know how the other party blocked his blow, let alone... why this person was so strong.
"fist……"
Duan Mu paused, raised his right hand, and gradually brought his five fingers together.
"That's how it works!"
After he finished speaking, the air flow visible to the naked eye converged towards Duan Mu's clenched fist in the form of mist, and as it moved, it formed a strong wind like a vortex.
Step, punch!
Boom~
On the ground within a dozen meters, along with the crunching sound, spiderweb-like cracks appeared centered on Duan Mu, spreading all the way into the distance.
Whether it’s a wall or a building exterior!
Chadata Taihu only felt Duan Mu's punch expanding in his field of vision, as if it had replaced the entire world.
Death, so close!
Rumble~~
The explosion covered all sounds and almost resounded throughout the entire Seireitei!
Looking down from a high altitude, I saw a huge fist flying out from the high ground where the Ninth Division was located. Although the fist was translucent like mist, it was extremely fast and swift, leaving endless smoke wherever it passed.
Seen from a distance, it seems as if a real-life plane is flying over the Seireitei, leaving a long trace.
A strand of hair danced crazily.
Chadu Taihu turned around with a stiff neck and looked back, only to see that the originally broad main road had been replaced by a huge ditch, spreading all the way to the edge of the highland, passing through the void and hitting the invisible soul-shielding film.
, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the soul-shielding membrane like water.
Couldn't stop for a long time.
This punch did not hit him, but passed him by. In order to avoid affecting him, the opponent even chose an upward direction.
Although I don’t know why the other party did this, if the punch just landed on me, then...
He is already dead!
"That punch just now was good."
Duan Mu's voice came from his ear: "Did Sir Ye Da teach you this?"
Mr. Yoruichi?
Try {MAD1 ('Gad2');} Catch (ex) {} Hear Duan Mu mentioned the name of Ye Yiyi, Tea Tiger Tiger stunned, and some inexplicably turned to look at the shorter section in front of him.
Wood.
"Her white attack is indeed very strong, but it may not be suitable for you."
Duan Mu shook his head slightly: "Remember the feeling of that punch just now. In comparison, your attack method is actually more similar to mine, or...more inclined to the virtual fighting method."
"you……"
Chado Taihu looked at Duan Mu in front of him and was about to say something.
But the next second, his body bent down, and his whole body became unable to move at this moment.
"Sixty One of the Binding Dao: Six Rods and Light Prison."
The soft moan in his ears made Chado Taihu subconsciously look at the index finger pointed on his chest.
Duan Mu retracted his hand and turned to look behind him: "Someone, put a pair of handcuffs on him to suppress spiritual pressure, and then send him to the cell. Just lock him up. We still need to get information from him."
"yes!"
Respectful voices came from all directions, and figures came quickly towards this side.
Everyone among them looked at Duan Mu with a deep sense of awe.
Although after Duan Mu became their captain, they also learned some things about Duan Mu from various channels.
But rumors are far inferior to seeing them with your own eyes.
Captain Duan Mu's punch just now, not to mention the close-at-hand Sadat Taihu, even those of them who were hiding in the dark and observing, felt indescribable horror in their hearts.
Several team members came to Sadatora Taitora and cuffed him with handcuffs that suppressed his spiritual pressure.
"team leader……"
Hisagi Shuhei came to Duan Mu, looked behind Duan Mu, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
The originally neat and smooth road...
At this time, there was nothing left, and the smoke in the void gradually dissipated at this moment.
This made him hesitate to remind Captain Duan Mu that the cost of repairing these...according to the rules of the Gotei Thirteenth Division, they could not be repaired entirely with the squad's funds.
Because in order to prevent the captain from using his powerful destructive power wantonly, the captain has stipulated that for any damage caused by the captain in battle, half of the repair costs will be borne by the team's funds, and the other half will be borne by the captain who caused the damage...
This rule was actually promulgated to prevent captain Zaraki Kenpachi from acting recklessly. Other captains will basically not use destructive and powerful moves in the Seireitei unless necessary.
And Captain Zaraki...
Since he often gets lost, he always chooses the shortest path.
To put it bluntly, it means walking in a straight line in one direction, and then looking at everything you encounter on the road, whether it is a wall or a building...
Bulldoze them all!
Since then, the captain has promulgated this new rule.
Duanmu didn't know what Hisagi beside him was thinking, but looked at Taitora Sadatora who was taken away by the team members.
If the two people from Ginjo he had met were more inclined to be Quincy and Shinigami, the feeling given to him by Taihu Sadatari in front of him was actually more similar to that of Hollow.
Whether it's the means of attack or the way of using spiritual pressure.
When he used his spiritual pressure to intimidate him, he did not hold back. According to Duan Mu's expectation, it would be impossible for Sadatari to fight back, and he would directly restrain him with the binding method.
But now it seems...
Among Kurosaki Ichigo's group, this was the only guy who didn't leave a deep impression on him. He was also not simple, but the people around him were too special... which made him seem a bit ordinary.
That punch is really good!
Duan Mu vaguely realized how Maozhihualie might have felt when he faced his own provocation.
Very weak, but something to look forward to.
That's why he threw that punch!
Duan Mu shook his head slightly, but he didn't care too much. A punch for a punch was fair and reasonable!
"Let's go."
Duanmu said something to Hisagi beside him, but found that he was looking at the road behind him with a troubled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"this……"
Hisagi Shuhei hesitated after hearing this, but finally decided to tell the truth... Mainly because with his salary, there was absolutely no way he could help Duanmu fill this hole.
"Um?"
Duan Mu blinked: "Say it again."
"Well……"
Hisagi Shuhei gritted his teeth slightly and recounted the rules again. Then he looked at Duanmu who was stagnant in place and asked:
"Captain, do we want to go back and prepare now?"
"Go back to hell!!"
Duan Mu's face turned dark instantly: "Are you ready? I haven't received even a dime of the commission fee yet, and they ask me to pay you back? What a joke, I'm fighting for the Seireitei!"
"..."
The corner of Hisagi Shuhei's mouth twitched slightly, but he remained silent. He had been watching the previous battle. It was obvious that a battle could be solved with a single bound, but Captain Duan Mu destroyed the surrounding streets and walls with... one punch.
, and even houses.
"That……"
"Hey~~"
Duanmu sighed slightly, took off his captain Haori and threw it to Hisagi: "You go back and ask a few people to bring some tools back. I'll stay here to clean up the garbage first."
"ah?"
"I mean..."
"I'll fix it myself!!"
…

Well, someone asked the book club, there is no such thing...it is of no use if it is...
