A gentle breeze blew by, blowing away the surrounding smoke and dust.
Including the four subordinate officers of Baile Gang, a total of ten figures stood around the basin, all looking at Duan Mu in the center of the basin with cold eyes.
Bang!
Balegang threw Zomari Lulu aside casually, rested his chin on his elbow, and said calmly:
"Since Aizen is not here, I will be in charge here. You..."
Bailegang paused and glanced around:
"No comments allowed."
Harribel glanced at Balegang and did not refute, but just observed Duan Mu below.
She didn't know much about Duan Mu.
All I know is that before he became the Ten Blades, the opponent broke into Hueco Mundo twice, killed No. 9 of the original Ten Blades, and seriously injured Nnoitra.
But it is said...
The reason why he was able to defeat Nnoitra was entirely through trickery, so before coming here, everyone present already knew the weaknesses and cracking methods of his initial solution.
But when the opponent attacked, Harribel discovered that this Death God named Duan Mu was far more powerful than what they knew from the intelligence.
"You stay with me."
Harribel said to Tiruti on the side in a solemn tone: "Don't get too close to him. Although the spiritual pressure is not particularly strong, his lethality cannot be underestimated."
"Well……"
Tiruti nodded, lowering her head to hide the strangeness in her eyes.
I have to admit that this new No. 3 is so kind, so kind that he doesn’t even look like a hollow...
But if you think about it carefully, whether it is Harribel or Nelu, becoming the No. 3 female Ten Blades, they don’t feel like Hollows.
Perhaps because they are both female Ten Blades, Harribel has always taken good care of herself since she became No. 3.
This made Tiruti a little embarrassed to attack him.
However, Duan Mu never let her take action.
…
Duan Mu's eyes flashed with concentration, and he did not continue to take the initiative to attack like before.
He was not prepared to let Tiruti be exposed at this time, firstly because Duan Mu needed someone to help him monitor Aizen's movements, and secondly because... he still couldn't provide Tiruti with a place to stay.
After betraying Aizen, before Aizen was sealed, Tiruti's return to Hueco Mundo was tantamount to seeking death.
Without returning to Hueco Mundo, it would be difficult for Soul Society to tolerate the existence of an Arrancar like her.
Even if this Arrancar can bring great help to Soul Society, Captain Yamamoto will not allow an Arrancar to stay in Soul Society.
At least until the threat of Aizen is clearly understood...
Although the defection of the three Aizens caused a great disturbance in the Seireitei, Duan Mu always felt that Captain Yamamoto did not seem to take Aizen seriously at all. He acted extremely arrogant from the beginning to the end.
His attitude was like looking at a rebellious child, watching Aizen and others defect.
Of course, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant, although in the end he was designed a bit miserably by Aizen...
Duan Mu shook his head slightly and calmed down.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ganjiu should have already made contact with Seireitei by this time.
Even if no contact is made, up to eleven Arrancars appearing in Rukongai will definitely be monitored by the Technology Development Bureau.
So support should be arriving soon.
But Duan Mu is afraid that...
They rushed towards the West 38th District before Ganjiu asked for help, because Duan Mu knew better than anyone the specific time it would take to get to the West 38th District from the Seireitei.
Even if you use Shunbu with all your strength, it will take at least half an hour to get back to the West 38th District Wanshiwu from Baidaomen.
And if they set out after Rock Eagle asked for help, they could use the transfer pile under the guidance of Rock Eagle to teleport directly from East 1 to West 38.
This is the reason why Duanmu still sent Ganjiu to the Seireitei to request support even though he knew that the Technology Development Bureau would detect the incoming Arrancar!
after all……
Let’s not talk about the distance from Baidaomen to West 38th District.
Whether it is sounding the alarm, transmitting information, or even rushing from the Seireitei Center to the East Gate or West Gate, these all take time.
Based on Duanmu's understanding of the Gotei 13th Division, these steps would take at least 5-10 minutes.
In other words, he needs to hold on for at least 5-10 minutes under these seven Ten Blades. This is after Ganjiu gets in touch with Seireitei in time.
As for Yoruichi, Kurosaki Ichigo and others, Duanmu didn't expect them to arrive at all...
The reason is very simple. If they rush directly to Area 38 for support, it will take at least half an hour. Yoichi may be faster, but it should be less than ten minutes.
It is even more nonsense to use the transfer pile to go to the East 1 area. It will even take several days to go from the Western Shiromon Gate along the Seireibi Gate to the Eastern Seiryu Gate Gate.
Waiting for them to arrive for support...
Duanmu may have been captured by Hueco Mundo and put on the operating table by Aizen.
Fortunately...
He is not truly alone.
From the corner of his eye, Duan Mu glanced in the direction of the West 38th District in a very vague way. In that direction, a group of villains from the Wanshiwu House were gathering, but he didn't know how effective they could be in a battle of this level.
Back to business.
The silent atmosphere did not last long. Although Duan Mu wanted to delay it, the ten blades around him did not give him this chance at all.
Because before coming, Aizen had already estimated the approximate time it would take for Seireitei's support to arrive.
Unless the captains of the Gotei 13th Division happened to be in the Master House, Duanmu would not receive any support for at least a few minutes.
Without any communication, several figures disappeared from the place almost at the same time.
Duan Mu frowned, and almost at the same time, he slapped the ground with one hand.
"Twenty-one of the Binding Dao: Red Smoke Escape!"
The red mist spread out like the sunset, shrouding the entire area where Duan Mu was.
Although after the unknown vessel was crushed, all the Arrancars present could sense their position, but blocking their vision in the chaos of the battle could still bring some advantages to Duan Mu.
There was no time to hesitate, almost at the moment when smoke and dust rose into the air, Duan Mu drew a stroke in the void with his left hand.
"Thirty-nine of the Binding Dao: Round Gate Fan."
A circular shield suddenly appeared behind Duan Mu.
"The Eighth Way of Binding: Rebuke~~"
Rapid chants continued to be heard, and a repulsive barrier appeared on the back of Duan Mu's right hand.
Bang~
The sound of impact came from behind Duan Mu, and the circular shield formed by the round gate fan was directly cut into cracks by six blades.
At the same time, Duan Mu raised his right hand with his palm facing inward to protect the side of his head.
摪——!
The repulsion barrier collided with the Leopard King's claws.
Before Duan Mu could breathe a sigh of relief, another strong gust of wind hit him from the left side of his body.
Overwhelmed!
Duan Mu gritted his teeth slightly, used spiritual pressure with his left hand to maintain the circular gate fan, used a repulsive barrier with his right hand to resist the attack, and kicked his right leg violently to the left at this moment.
Different from the previous sudden attack, all ten blades were scattered.
At this time, they gathered together, putting great pressure on Duan Mu, and this was even when the most terrifying people did not take action.
You can't fight like this!
Just the attacks from Grimmjow and Nnoitra were enough for Duan Mu to deal with.
If this passive state continues, it won't last long at all.
Think of this.
Duan Mu took a deep breath and kicked his right foot with more force.
In an instant, they collided with the attacker. Among the three people who attacked him at the same time, the Arrancar attacking from the left was undoubtedly the weakest point.
Duan Mu didn't have much impression of the other party's identity. He should be one of the subordinate officers of Balegang.
In the direction Duan Mu kicked, a human-shaped eagle flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky through the red mist.
However, before his sharp claws could touch Duan Mu, his field of vision quickly expanded with a kick.
Although he could feel the position of Duan Mu, with his limited vision, he did not notice the arrival of the kick at all. With a muffled bang, Abirama Leda only felt a pain in his abdomen, and his whole body
It curled up like a prawn, and then...
Bang——!
Blood spurted out, and Abirama Leda looked at the huge gap in her abdomen, her eyes filled with disbelief.
With this kick, the force that exploded directly penetrated his abdomen, leaving only the skin and flesh on both sides of the waist connected together.
How come the gap is so big?
Abirama's doubts were destined to remain unsolved, because neither his attack nor the severe injury or death attracted Duan Mu's slightest attention.
For subordinate officers whose spiritual pressure was between the vice-captain and captain, Duan Mu had no time to pay attention to their status.
With one foot down, Duan Mu used the power of this foot to twist his body, and with one step on the ground, he disconnected the spiritual pressure support of the round gate fan behind him and the repulsion.
Pa~~
With a crisp sound, Grimmjow and Nnoitra moved towards Duan Mu, one behind the other.
And at this moment, Duan Mu clamped Grimmjow's claws and Nnoitra's crescent-shaped blade with both hands, using the power of the previous twist and the strength of the two of them to make a fierce round.
.
Unprepared, their expressions changed, and under Duan Mu's extremely clever guidance, they crashed into each other.
Bang~~
A shock visible to the naked eye exploded between the two of them. The combination of their strength and Duan Mu's push made even the two of them groan.
But the two of them were not Abhirama after all, and they regrouped almost as soon as they separated.
However, Duan Mu did not miss this opportunity.
"Sixty-three of the Dao of Binding: Binding with Chains."
The two golden chains in Duan Mu's left and right hands were instantly generated. Under the support of huge spiritual pressure, they were like giant pythons, binding the two people in place at the same time.
only……
Phew~
A sharp sound broke through the air, and almost at the same time Duan Mu released the chain, a blade swung down.
Phew~~
As blood spurted out, Duan Mu's back was cut open with a huge wound.
However, Harribel, who had made this blow, frowned, turned his eyes, and did not continue to attack the wood in front of him. Instead, he turned the blade in his palm and swung it out horizontally.
Almost at the same time, Duan Mu in front of her suddenly turned into a shadow and dispersed, leaving only a dark coat that was chopped into two pieces.
clang--!
A long crisp sound was heard, and Duan Mu's figure appeared in mid-air, and was shot backwards by the sword.
Has Kong Chan been seen through!?
Duan Mu's arms in front of his chest were stained red with blood. Even though he had mobilized his spiritual pressure for defense at the first moment, he still collapsed under Harribel's sword.
Compared to Grimmjow and Nnoitra, Harribel's spiritual pressure is still extremely powerful even when he is not returning to the sword.
However, this is no wonder.
After all, she is fundamentally different from the two of them. She is one of the few Ten Blades who transformed from the Vastod Arrancar.
Although judging from the information in her memory, her performance was not good, but it was entirely due to her attributes...
And the person who defeated her in the end was not the opponents who besieged her, but was severely wounded by her own boss.
Harribel did not give Duan Mu time to regroup. After the blow, his whole body was filled with water vapor, and there seemed to be waves rolling on the blade in his hand.
"Break it—wheel iron swallow!"
But at this moment, a figure suddenly stood between her and Duan Mu, causing Harribel to frown and restrain his breath from the sword.
"Broken wings scattered!"
Tiruti, who had grown wings, tentacles and arms, shook her wings, and countless broken blades struck Duan Mu like raindrops.
After Duan Mu thanked him in his heart, the spiritual pressure on his fists surged, turning into fist shadows all over the sky.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
Following a series of explosions, all the broken blades in the sky were shaken back by the shadow of the fist.
"Hey~~!"
Nnoitra appeared behind Duan Mu, with a ferocious smile on his face, and the six blades in his hand cut through the void and struck at Duan Mu.
Seeing this, Duan Mu frowned.
Because in front of him, Harribel had already bypassed Tiruti and was attacking him again.
Both sides, no matter which side they are, must defend with all their strength.
If you continue to defend yourself against attacks from both sides as before, you will only suffer more serious injuries.
A look of hesitation flashed through Duan Mu's eyes. He looked at the remaining experience points in the system interface and decisively chose to ignore the attacks from behind. He concentrated all his spiritual pressure on the acupuncture points on his hands that output spiritual pressure, and let out a sound in his mouth.
Whispering sound:
"Thirty-nine of the Binding Dao: Round Gate Fan."
Under the crazy infusion of Duan Mu's spiritual pressure, a huge circular shield suddenly appeared in front of him, and the sharp aura behind him had already approached.
"Wahahahahahaha~~~"
But just when Duan Mu thought he was going to be severely injured, or even robbed of his blood, a burst of wild laughter suddenly came out.
The golden spiritual pressure beam shot up into the sky, like the sun, and collided with Nnoitra who was attacking Duan Mu.
Rumble——!
Huge explosions came from in front and behind Duan Mu almost at the same time. Under the impact, all the smoke and dust were dispersed as soon as they rose.
Pa~~
Cracks appeared on the golden light shield in front of Duan Mu, and then they shattered like glass lenses.
"Xiao Mumu, we came to play with you."
A crisp and lovely voice came, and Duan Mu turned his head and took a look, only to see Kenpachi Zaraki holding a sword and eight thousand streams on his back, looking at Nnoitra with excitement.
Why is he here?
wrong!
If we count the time, it's time for him to come...
The corner of Duan Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately figured out why Kenpachi appeared here.
If nothing unexpected happens...
This guy must have just been discharged from the hospital this morning and rushed to his home, hoping to fight with Kurosaki Ichigo or himself again.
"You guy, you met such an interesting opponent and you didn't even notify me."
Zaraki Kenpachi's words made Duan Mu more convinced of his suspicions.
This thing...
They are not here to support themselves at all, but to cause trouble for themselves!
But it’s so great!!
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Duan Mu would have wanted to call Bago with a grateful look on his face.
Yachiru got down from Kenpachi, looked around, and then rushed towards the remaining three subordinate officers with great determination.
She already had a great affection for Duanmu, but she did not stand aside with interest as usual to watch Zaraki Kenpachi's battle.
Phew~~
Duan Mu took a deep breath and looked up at Harribel in the distance and...Bailegang, who was still sitting on the chair and looking at him with disdain.
Duan Mu was not annoyed by Bailegang's arrogance in not bothering to besiege him with others, but was just grateful.
Harribel alone had already forced Duan Mu to concentrate on dealing with it. If he also joined in, Duan Mu would not be able to delay it any longer.
If possible, Duan Mu would like to personally advise this old comrade, who is as old as Captain Yamamoto, to behave himself well, keep in mind the majesty of the 'former' Lord of Hueco Mundo, and continue to sit arrogantly.
Don’t join the siege with others…
I am a young comrade who is only in his early forties!
