Duanmu's words made Hisagi Shuhei and Hitsugaya Toshiro behind him look strange.
However, Rangiku Matsumoto and Renji Abarai, who were very familiar with Duan Mu, did not have any surprise on their faces. In their opinion... it was completely normal for Boss Duan Mu to say such a thing.
Harribel, on the other hand, had a plain face and said in an indifferent tone:
"Then come with us. Lord Aizen asked us to invite you to Xuye Palace as a guest."
Her extremely bland reply made the smile on Duan Mu's face freeze slightly, because he just wanted to see if he could communicate with her out of habit.
Duan Mu really didn't expect...
Harribel will directly invite him to Hueco Mundo.
If I agree, will my favorability level increase?
"Hey hey hey~!"
Seeing the hesitation on Duan Mu's face, Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was standing next to Duan Mu, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This bastard is not really ready to agree.
"Um……"
Duan Mu smiled slightly at Harribel: "It's better to forget it. I always feel that it will be difficult to come back if I go there."
Buzz~~!
Almost as soon as Duan Mu finished speaking, a burst of terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Harribel's body.
"Conquer him..."
Amidst the soft drink, waves like a tsunami exploded in the night sky.
"Empress Shark!"
Having learned from his last failure in Soul Society*, Harribel did not waste any time. After confirming that Duan Mu would not voluntarily go to Hueco Mundo with him and others, he immediately used the Return Blade!
This time, she must complete the instructions given by Lord Aizen no matter what!
The rumble of the waves sounded, and in an instant a vast ocean formed under the night sky.
Seeing this, Duan Mu's smile faded, and a look of concentration flashed in his eyes.
Almost at the same time as the waves appeared, a strong pressure fell on everyone, making everyone's body tremble, and even faintly unable to stand in mid-air.
Harribel, who returned to the sword, stood in the middle of the waves. At this time, her hairstyle changed to short hair, and the original half of the Arrancar on her face disappeared at this time, revealing a delicate face. There was a dark blue streak on her cheeks.
His face is colored like lightning bolts, and his attire has also changed from the original white uniform to a short skirt-like swimsuit-like clothing.
The changes in appearance are astonishing.
But the most astonishing thing was the terrifying spiritual pressure that was unleashed from his body, making everyone including Duan Mu feel as if their bodies were sinking, as if a huge mountain suddenly appeared on their backs.
Amidst the heavy whistling sound, Harribel pointed the giant sword with shark gill patterns in his hand towards where the few people were.
Boom!
The waves, which were already gathering momentum, fell from the sky like a waterfall, sweeping down towards Duan Mu and the five of them amidst the rolling sound of the waves.
Faced with the terrifying tsunami, everyone retreated almost instinctively.
But the waterfall-like waves were so fast that they almost drowned everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Ice formation on the edge!"
But at this moment, Toshiro Hitsugaya shouted secretly, and as the cold air rose, an ice wall formed blocking all the waves.
"Get out of the way!"
Hitsugaya Toshiro shouted anxiously...
! Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the four people, including Duan Mu, dispersed without hesitation.
Kakakka~~
In just an instant, cracks appeared on the ice wall. After Hitsugaya saw everyone leaving, he immediately dodged and left the place.
Then there was a loud explosion, and the ice wall was shattered by the roaring waves.
The wanton impact formed a heavy pressure that was difficult to express in words, causing Hitsugaya and others to sway involuntarily and being pushed to fall in all directions.
Fortunately, these people were not ordinary people. They stabilized their bodies in just a few seconds and stopped in mid-air.
"Um?"
But when Toshiro Hitsugaya and the four of them looked up, the scene they saw made their expressions change.
Because in just a few seconds, except for the female Ten Blades who first appeared with Ruby, the remaining four Ten Blades had already formed a square shape and surrounded Duan Mu in the middle.
When everyone looked, the four of them stretched their hands into the void and took out something. Before they could see what it was...
Golden translucency suddenly bloomed from the four people and spread toward each other. In just an instant, a golden translucent space about a hundred meters long and wide was formed.
That space is...
Hitsugaya Toshiro's expression changed.
Anti-membrane?
Although the form is a little different from the one he saw in Soul Society, the familiar aura is completely familiar to Toshiro Hitsugaya.
"Oops!"
Without any hesitation*, Hitsugaya Toshiro shook his wings and rushed straight towards the square space where the anti-membrane was.
but……
"Break it - Wheel Iron Swallow!"
Amidst the low shouts, a figure suddenly appeared in Hitsugaya Toshiro's field of vision.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Hitsugaya Toshiro's expression turned cold, and his sprinting speed did not slow down at all. At the same time, he slashed forward with the long sword covered with ice crystals in his hand.
Swish, swish, swish...
The water in the atmosphere condensed instantly, forming a giant frozen blade tens of meters long, heading straight towards Tiruti.
——Ice dragon spiral tail!
But the next second, the ten-meter-long frozen giant blade was split into two by a dark arc.
This scene made Hitsugaya Toshiro's pupils shrink, and he subconsciously ducked, letting the black arc of light pass by him.
They were black blades that looked like feathers. They were extremely sharp, and wherever they passed, ice crystals, cold air, or air were all cut open by them.
shock?
Although it was only for a moment, he still clearly felt the vibration coming from the blade as he passed by.
It is this vibration that makes the feather-like blade become so sharp!
"The wings behind my blade have a vibration frequency of more than 1.3 million per second, which can cut and crush all spirit-type attacks."
After returning to the sword, Tiruti grew huge wings and arms. She looked like a moth, but even though she was just floating quietly in mid-air, her wings were still constantly cutting the surrounding space.
Tricky~!
Hitsugaya Toshiro frowned. Although he was already aware of the power of the Jublade, the female Jublade in front of him made him feel extremely troublesome...
!Although Tiruti only explained one sentence, he instantly understood Tiruti’s ability.
This ability is not complicated. It is nothing more than attacking with extremely sharp and sharp feathers during the vibration of the wings, and controlling the release and recovery of feathers according to one's own will. However, this simple ability is also the most powerful in some aspects.
Tricky.
When the vibration frequency reaches a certain level, even if the feather blade itself is fragile, it will still block the feather blade's attack if the vibration cannot be eliminated.
What's more...
A feather blade that can withstand 1.3 million vibrations per second cannot be fragile.
If you want to defeat the female Jublade in front of you, there are only two ways to freeze the vibration and use a vibration with a higher frequency than this vibration to eliminate it. Judging from the previous exchange of blows, your own ice wants to freeze the opponent's vibration.
, almost impossible...
Unless the other party can give themselves a long time to prepare!
摪摪摪~~
At this moment, three collision sounds were heard in succession, and the jet-black feather blades flying in the sky blocked Renji Abarai and the other three who were rushing towards the golden reflective barrier one by one, but none of them were affected.
Too much damage.
"Give up."
Tiruti looked at Hitsugaya Toshiro and said in a calm tone: "That barrier is based on the 'anti-membrane bandit' created by Aizen-sama. It is a spiritual tool that can seal the spirit body in the dimension.
The closing time depends on the spiritual pressure of the person being turned off. Those with smaller spiritual pressure will be sealed in the dimensional space forever."
"So even if you rush over*, you won't be able to enter!"
Tiruti looked at the few people and couldn't help but feel a little worried about Duan Mu in the barrier.
If it was just a rebellion, she wouldn't be particularly worried. With Duan Mu's strength, the rebel bandits wouldn't be able to trap him for long, as long as they could withstand the siege of a few people during this period.
but……
"He can't leave that space!"
Tiruti glanced at the square barrier in the sky: "That barrier is a special barrier transformed by Sal Apollo for Duan Mu. It can combine the spiritual pressure of the four ten blades to completely suppress Duan Mu's spiritual pressure.
Release, that is to say... once the targeted Duan Mu enters that space, he will become an ordinary spirit body without any spiritual pressure."
This is also the reason why Tiruti wanted to let Ruby die and cast the barrier on his behalf.
Once the barrier is generated, the inside and outside of the barrier will become two dimensions.
Except for the four people who created the barrier, no one can intervene in the battle.
However, Duan Mu arrived here even though he knew all of this, and refused his proposal to kill a Ten-blade while everyone was paying attention to him.
What on earth does that idiot want to do?
"How is this possible?"
The person who asked the question was not Hitsugaya, but Hisagi Shuhei, who looked ugly.
"Why isn't it possible?"
Tiruti looked at Hisagi. Judging from the previous conversation, Duanmu seemed to be the captain of the man with the word '69' tattooed on his face, so Tiruti did not hide it:
"In the last battle, Sal Apollo collected all of Duan Mu's data, and then specifically created a spiritual tool to generate a barrier. However, with Duan Mu's spiritual pressure, it would be difficult for one or two Ten Blades to defeat him.
It was trapped, so Apollo gathered four Ten Blades and came to the world."…
! "The purpose is to fulfill Lord Aizen's order and capture him alive and bring him back to Hueco Mundo!"
Hearing this, even Toshiro Hitsugaya, who was not very familiar with Duanmu, couldn't help but look a little ugly.
It can be said that he has a deep understanding of Aizen's horror.
Hitsugaya Toshiro didn't know the reason why Aizen captured Duanki, but one thing he was sure of was that catching Duanki would definitely help Aizen.
Otherwise, people would not be sent to arrest Duan Mu again and again.
Hitsugaya Toshiro looked up at the barrier high in the sky and rushed towards the barrier again without hesitation.
Seeing this, Tiruti frowned.
To be honest, she didn't want to fight with those people who wanted to rescue Duan Mu, but Duan Mu asked her to stop them with all her strength before being trapped, so as not to expose her relationship with him.
"Um?"
And just when Tiruti was about to stop him, Hitsugaya Toshiro, who was rushing towards the barrier, suddenly stopped and looked at the barrier with strange eyes.
…
Half a minute ago.
Duan Mu stepped on the golden transparent barrier, tried to make a fist, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Actually, as Tiruti said, the spiritual pressure in his body was completely suppressed by this space. He could not even form a spiritual ladder to stand in the void. Even the core of spiritual pressure in his body, Posleep,
The key points that generate spiritual power, such as the knots, seemed to have disappeared at this time.
"How about it?"
Sal Apollo looked at Duan Mu*, with a hint of pride in his eyes under his glasses: "Hehehe~ How about I prepare this gift for you?"
As expected, we can't have a second battle with the scientists.
Duan Mu looked at Sal Apollo, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Although this guy was not strong now, in a certain way, he gave Duan Mu a feeling of trouble that was second only to Baile Gang.
"Get rid of him quickly so that I can deal with the remaining Shinigami."
Ruby looked at Duan Mu in the center of the barrier, her eyes full of disdain. A Shinigami without any spiritual pressure was nothing more than a waste. There was no need to waste too much time on him.
After finishing his words, he ignored the reactions of the others, and the eight tentacles behind him crashed down on Duan Mu at the same time!
"Don't be careless!"
Harribel's voice came at the right time. But Ruby did not stop her movements and just replied casually:
"Don't worry, I won't kill him. The most I can do is turn him into a sieve!"
Boom~~!
The next second, an explosion sounded from within the barrier.
Along with the deafening sound, the eight tentacles completely enveloped Duan Mu like a towering giant tree.
Bang bang bang bang~~
Dull crashing sounds continued to be heard from where Duan Mu was.
The eight tentacles turned into afterimages like long whips, constantly hitting Duan Mu.
"Boring~ So boring~~"
Ruby covered her chin with her long sleeves and yawned, looking outside the barrier.
His attack does not carry too much power, and with the strength of the Death Captain's spiritual body, it should not cause his death.
If he is really dead, it means that he is just a waste.
Compared to the guy named Duan Mu in front of him, the person he wants to kill now is the ice-wielding kid!…
!But the moment he looked outside the barrier, Ruby's pupils suddenly shrank, she turned her head sharply, and looked at the center of the tentacle with an expression of disbelief.
Bang bang bang...
The sound of impact continued to sound, and there was still blood and minced meat disintegrating in the afterimages in the sky.
"This is impossible!?"
Blood mist rises all over the sky, and under the blood mist...
The pure white haori has been dyed dark red, and the front ends of the eight tentacles, without exception, collapsed into a bloody mist in an instant.
Doesn't he have no spiritual pressure?
So what’s going on with this power!?
Ruby looked at Duanmu under the blood mist in disbelief. Although her attack did not have much power, Ruby knew very well that the strength of her tentacles was definitely not something that a person without spiritual pressure could destroy.
but……
The next second, endless murderous intent burst out from Ruby's eyes.
"asshole!"
Being frustrated again and again made Ruby, who was new to Ten Blades, feel extremely embarrassed and annoyed.
At this moment, the mission and everything else were completely forgotten by him.
The eight tentacles that exploded at the front grew out again like a lizard at this moment, carrying unparalleled spiritual pressure and sweeping towards Duan Mu.
"Go to hell!"
When Duan Mu saw this, his expression remained indifferent, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Although he didn't like this kind of pure physical combat, he had to admit...
This way of fighting* that relies entirely on fists is indeed very exciting!
He lowered his body, opened his arms, and clenched his palms into fists!
Next second~
The two fists turned into fist shadows all over the sky, and in an instant they collided with what seemed to be countless tentacles.
Boom boom boom——!
A violent explosion sounded, and the impact visible to the naked eye spread from the place where the fists and tentacles collided.
Almost at the same time as the collision, the tentacles all over the sky suddenly stopped, as if the whole world had been pressed to a stop button, and then...
Bang bang bang bang...
The tentacle covered with extremely powerful spiritual pressure was bounced back again, and although the tip was not broken, cracks still appeared on the surface and spread backward along the front end!
And the spikes on the top were smashed to pieces by those steel-like fists.
Why...why is a person with no spiritual pressure fluctuations still able to exert such terrifying power?
The tentacles were like Ruby's arms, and he could clearly feel the vast and heavy power, which was simply not something a person without spiritual pressure could possess.
Is Thrall Apollo lying to me?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ruby subconsciously wanted to find Sal Apollo.
But just then...
A pulling feeling suddenly came, and I saw one of my tentacles being grasped by the god of death, before he could react.
Indescribable power spread from the tentacles to the whole body, and the surrounding scene changed rapidly.
He was actually forcefully pulled towards the other party!!
In the field of vision, a fist was rapidly expanding.
Buzz~!!
The low whistle is breathtaking.
Even though she hadn't met yet, Ruby still felt a fatal sense of fear, almost instinctively mobilizing all her spiritual pressure...
