In the Confession Palace, Kurosaki Ichigo, who had managed to regain some mobility under Hanataro's treatment, swallowed slightly.
Although he had already had a certain understanding of Aizen's power when he faced Aizen before, the intensity of the battle now far exceeded his imagination, making him feel as if he was in a dream.
Feel.
"Did Mr. Duan Mu win?"
Hanataro glanced at the direction in which Aizen shot backwards, and then at Duanmu who was standing there.
At this time, Duan Mu's Xing Jun uniform had completely turned into rags, and even the dark clothing could not cover up the blood stains on it.
But the weird thing is...
There were no scars on the skin exposed by the rag, as if the blood on the clothes did not flow from his body.
Reply?
But even if you fight and use the return path at the same time, you can't heal your injuries so quickly, right?
As the seventh seat of the Fourth Division, Hanataro has always believed that he is not qualified for this position, but he still has a certain degree of confidence in his ability to judge injuries.
From the beginning of the war to the present, the injuries Mr. Duan Mu has suffered...
Normally, I don’t know how many times I would have died.
As a result, let alone death, Mr. Duan Mu has not even a single scratch on his body until now, as if he is immortal!
However, Hanatarō didn't know that Mr. Duan Mu, who he regarded as having an immortal body, had already exhausted all his 'immortal body'.
Current experience value: 0
The dazzling numbers on the system interface made Duan Mu's eyes twitch.
Aizen's last knife almost cut him in two. Under that kind of injury, Duan Mu could only devote all his experience points to his body in one breath.
Physical fitness: top level (313749/1000000)
Looking at the numerical value behind his body, Duan Mu's expression became more solemn.
It's not that he feels bad about the experience points, after all, he originally planned to invest the experience points in his body.
But there is no experience value, which means that in the next battle, he must avoid vital parts as much as possible.
As for...
Dodge attacks to avoid getting hurt.
Fighting Aizen with such unrealistic ideas is tantamount to seeking death!
After making up his mind, the blue halo outside Duan Mu's eyes slowly turned, looking at the direction in which Aizen was reflected.
Duan Mu was not sure what effect his full-strength attack would have.
There was only one thing he could be sure of, and that was...
My punch instantly penetrated Aizen's spiritual pressure defense and hit him hard...
Looking around, I could see smoke and dust filling the area where Aizen was reflected backwards.
Although he couldn't see it clearly, Duan Mu could barely see a figure standing up slowly in the area covered by smoke.
Buzz~~
Almost at the moment when the figure stood up.
Time seems to stand still!
After a roar...
The spiritual pressure soaring into the sky tore through the smoke and swept tens of thousands of tons of dust into the sky. The entire area became clear again in just an instant.
A heavy pressure like the deep sea appeared out of thin air. The huge pressure made Duan Mu even unprepared and his body bent under the pressure.
fear!
Duan Mu resisted the pressure and raised his head to look ahead. He saw Aizen standing up. His face no longer had that easy smile, but was replaced by gloom and murderous intent.
As for the glasses that he had not taken off since the battle, the lenses had been turned into countless fragments. As Aizen stood up, the frames of the glasses were broken into several pieces and fell down from his face.
Da da da~~
The sound of the frame falling to the ground was not loud, but it was extremely clear in this silent environment.
After Aizen stood up, he did not move. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and rubbed the side of his face with his thumb.
Where it was wiped, a trace of bright red slowly seeped out.
As his thumb wiped it, the bright red color disappeared immediately, as if everything was just an illusion.
Is it just a scratch?
Seeing this, Duan Mu's face looked a little ugly, but he was not surprised.
Although his punch broke through Aizen's spiritual pressure defense, in the process of breaking through the spiritual pressure defense... the power carried by his punch was almost exhausted.
It can be said that...
The damage is not big, but for Aizen who has never regarded Duanmu as an opponent, the insult is extremely strong!
Thinking of this, Duan Mu's nerves instantly became tense.
The thunder and flames that had subsided around him suddenly emerged again.
Although he no longer has the support of experience points, the improvement of his physical fitness has greatly improved Duan Mu's tolerance for the current state. Short-term use will not put too much burden on his body.
Almost as soon as he finished preparing, Duan Mu suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart without any warning.
Duan Mu, who was on full alert, reacted almost instinctively.
Like a cunning rabbit, he dwarfed and retreated.
At the same time as he stepped back, Duan Mu clapped his hands in front of him and said quickly:
"Thirty-nine of the Binding Dao: Round Gate Fan!"
"The Eighty One of the Binding Dao: Breaking the Sky!"
The golden barrier and the transparent barrier appeared in front of Duan Mu almost at the same time.
but……
Bang! Bang!
After two crisp sounds in succession, the two barriers collapsed within a second of appearing.
The tip of the knife went straight through the barrier and stabbed towards Duan Mu's neck.
The tip of the knife came so fast, even if Duan Mu tried his best to retreat, he still seemed to be standing still in front of the attacking tip of the knife, in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Duan Mu gritted his teeth slightly.
He stepped on the ground with one foot and moved forward instead of retreating. As he twisted his body, he took the initiative to meet the tip of the knife!
Phew~~
Blood spattered, and the tip of the knife instantly broke through Duan Mu's spiritual pressure defense, penetrating his top-notch physique.
Fortunately, when Duan Mu faced the tip of the knife, he used the force of the impact to twist his body in an instant, avoiding the vital point, and let the knife pierce his shoulder.
Although the vital point was avoided, the spiritual pressure carried by this sword wreaked havoc on Duan Mu's internal organs.
Duan Mu felt as if his internal organs were being shattered at this moment. He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood was spit out by him.
Without paying attention to the state of his body, Duan Mu's calm eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he used the gap between his left shoulder and shoulder bone to tightly jam the blade of Kyoka Suiyue, and his left hand also reached out and grasped the blade.
Almost at the same time.
Duan Mu raised his right hand, holding it empty in his palm, and there was a vague airflow forming from his palm!
Although the blade was destroyed, just as Duan Mu had predicted, after he recast the Zanpakutō, it was no longer necessary for him to lightly attack this form.
Even after it is destroyed, it still requires spiritual pressure and time to condense again, but having no form does not mean that it cannot be used.
Duan Mu looked at the expressionless Aizen in front of him and grinned, revealing his teeth stained red with blood.
Almost at the same time as he raised his right hand, the pitch-black blade fragments that had been scattered across the battlefield due to damage gathered at this moment like bullets in Duan Mu's raised palm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In the blink of an eye, the fragments formed a broken blade in Duan Mu's right hand.
The thunder and fire around Duan Mu surged crazily into the broken blade like a dam bursting.
Boom~
The moment the broken blade was slashed, it exploded, and the broken blade that had been broken into pieces was completely eliminated at this moment!
A violent impact suddenly erupted between Duan Mu and Aizen, and the deafening explosion echoed in the sky above the Confession Palace without stopping for a long time.
The previous Zanpakuto was broken because of Aizen's attack.
But this time...
But it was Duan Mu who poured all the energy in his body, including spiritual pressure, thunder, fire... into the broken blade, forcing the broken blade to burst!
Rumble~~
The strong wind was raging, and the self-destruction attack made no distinction between friend and foe. Although it was unknown whether it could cause damage to Aizen, Duanmu was inevitably affected.
The moment Duan Mu detonated the broken blade, he shot out like a ball that had been blown away, and finally hit the confession palace heavily, making the huge confession palace tremble.
At this time, he had completely turned into a bloody man, and the wounds on his body were as dense as scales.
The injury was so serious that even the spirit void patterns in Duan Mu's body became dim at this moment, making him unable to absorb spirit seeds from the atmosphere to replenish the consumption in his body.
Powerless, empty...
The body was severely injured and the spiritual pressure in the body was exhausted.
Bang~
Amidst the muffled sound, Duan Mu leaned forward and fell in front of the confession palace.
limit!
He couldn't even move a finger, and waves of dizziness kept hitting Duan Mu at this moment.
Can't be in a coma~~
Duan Mu called in his heart and forcefully opened his eyes, seeing a blurry scene in his field of vision.
Vaguely, Aizen could be seen still standing where he was.
There were knife marks on the Death Domination suit on his upper body, and his medium-long hair fell down, making him look a little embarrassed.
But……
Still no actual harm was done to him.
The gap is still too big after all!
"Has your inexplicable recovery ability reached its limit?"
Aizen stood on the spot, not angry because of his own embarrassment. Under Duan Mu's fatal blow, he regained his previous calmness.
He was not surprised that Duan Mu did not continue to recover from his injuries.
If Duan Mu can really continue to let his injuries, including his vital parts, heal on his own, it would be almost equivalent to immortality.
He doesn't think that Duan Mu today can have this ability!
Whoosh~~
At this moment, two figures appeared in front of Duan Mu almost at the same time, protecting Duan Mu behind him.
These two figures are none other than Yoruichi and Suihou.
They did not launch an attack rashly, but used their own spiritual pressure to form a protective wall, completely sealing off Duan Mu.
Neither Yoruichi nor Zaihou were sure whether Aizen in the field of vision was really standing there.
All they could do was protect Duan Mu in this way.
"Although there are still many questions that remain unanswered."
Aizen straightened his clothes, ran his hands over his head, and combed his hair back. A strand of hair hung in front of his forehead, and his whole temperament suddenly changed.
At this moment, two spheres made entirely of bandages suddenly appeared next to him.
"Sorry, Captain Aizen."
Ichimaru Gin's voice came from a sphere: "The two of us really can't drag it on any longer."
Along with the words, the bandages on the two spheres flew, revealing Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname among them.
"It doesn't matter."
Aizen replied casually.
Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, as the breeze blew by, figures appeared silently in front of the Confession Palace.
All the captains who were trapped in Mao No. 46 appeared here at this time, looking at Aizen and the others with cold eyes.
"When I'm leaving, it's a good thing to have so many familiar faces come to see me off."
Byakuya Kuchiki glanced at Duanki, who was being protected by Zaihou and Yoruichi, and then looked at Rukia Kuchiki in the confession palace. After confirming that she was not injured, he withdrew his gaze.
immediately……
"Swastika Senbonzakura Kageyan!"
Pink petals rose into the sky. This scene made all the captains around Kuchiki Byakuya have expressions of surprise on their faces.
Captain Yamamoto frowned, but did not stop him.
"Handsome guy, have you seen it?"
Kyōraku Shunsui patted Ukitake Jushiro next to him and whispered: "He really still cares about his adopted sister."
Jushiro Ukitake said nothing. Since arriving here, he has been deduce the battle that happened here through the surrounding environment.
It probably only lasted less than 10 minutes from the time they were trapped in Room 46 of Mao.
Since the ten-layer barrier outside Mao Forty-Six has the function of preventing prying eyes, the group of them did not know what exactly happened.
It wasn't until Captain Yamamoto came to Mao No. 46 and broke through the barrier that they suddenly felt Aizen's spiritual pressure.
But the intensity of his spiritual pressure was completely different from what they remembered.
Judging from the traces on the scene, the previous battle here should have been extremely fierce.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, figures appeared one after another in front of the Confession Palace. These were basically the vice-captains scattered throughout the Seireitei.
As for why I say basic...
It's because among these vice-captains, there are two others, Madarame Ikkaku, the third-seat member of the 11th Division, and Ayasekawa, the fifth-seat member of the 11th Division.
Unlike those captains, these deputy captains all came from the headquarters located in the north of Room 46 of Zhenyang, far away from the Palace of Confession.
As for why these people gathered at the headquarters, it was because of Duan Mu.
Before setting off, Duanmu asked Hisagi to call for support.
After some hesitation, Hisagi immediately sent out a signal for help, and then immediately went to Ichiban District to report, but when he got there, he found...
Almost all the captains are missing!
The only two captains who could confirm their whereabouts were the seriously injured Captain Zaraki and Captain Niryuuri.
All the vice-captains gathered at the headquarters. They originally wanted to report the disappearance of the captain, but they found that Captain Yamamoto was also missing...
After feeling the waves of fighting coming from the direction of the Penitence Palace, all the vice-captains came towards the Penitence Palace together.
However, the confessional palace is located in the south of the 46th room of Zhenyang, which can be said to be extremely far away from the headquarters. On the contrary, it is closer to the 6th District, which is also in the south. Therefore, they arrived later than the captains.
Back to business.
On the other side, the cherry blossoms filled the sky, drowning Aizen and the others like a tsunami.
At this moment, the other captains also prepared for battle.
but……
All this has nothing to do with Duan Mu.
Looking at the sea of cherry blossoms in the sky and the captains, Duan Mu's tense nerves finally relaxed.
